Regenerative Medicine and the Next Era of Aesthetics with Dr. Steven Sorr

From Side Hustle to a Two-Location Medspa with Katrina Flowers-Piercy

Katrina Flowers-Pierie spent years as a Physician Assistant in emergency services and trauma surgery before she ever picked up a syringe for aesthetics. The 24-hour call shifts, the adrenaline, the high-stakes environment — she loved all of it. Until she had kids. Then the math stopped working. So she pivoted. Slowly at first, building medical aesthetics as a side business in 2013 while still working in acute care. Then 2020 hit, everyone started staring at their own faces on Zoom, and what was once a side hustle became LISSÈ Medical Aesthetics. A two-location practice in Gig Harbor and University Place, Washington that does a lot more than injectables. This episode is proof that the most unexpected backgrounds can make for the most well-rounded injectors. In this episode: * How a career in trauma surgery shaped Katrina's clinical instincts and why that medical foundation makes her a better aesthetic provider * What a true one-stop shop actually looks like: injectables, regenerative medicine, wellness, skin care, and advanced laser treatments all under one roof * Why Katrina is fired up about the Sciton Halo and TRL, and how newer laser technology is delivering serious results with a fraction of the old downtime * Her honest take on hormone replacement therapy and why she believes HRT is about a lot more than managing menopause symptoms * The "slow roll" approach she swears by and why she would rather start you on a skin care routine than put you straight under a laser * Why 80% of your results come from what you do at home, and what that means before you spend a single dollar on in-office treatments= Resources + Links Work with Mike, learn more about social media and ads for your MedSpa: https://medspamediagroup.com/ [https://medspamediagroup.com/] Book with LISSÈ Medical Aesthetics: https://lissemedspa.com/ [https://lissemedspa.com/] Follow Mike LeMieux: https://www.instagram.com/mikelemieux/ [https://www.instagram.com/mikelemieux/] MedSpa Media: https://www.instagram.com/medspa_media/ [https://www.instagram.com/medspa_media/] LISSÈ Medical Aesthetics: https://www.instagram.com/lisse_medical_aesthetics_/ [https://www.instagram.com/lisse_medical_aesthetics_/] Katrina Flowers-Piercy: https://www.instagram.com/lisse_pa_katrina_/ [https://www.instagram.com/lisse_pa_katrina_/]

The Mobile Med Spa That Comes to You with Michelle Chapman

What if your med spa had no address, no lease, and no waiting room, and was still fully booked? Michelle Chapman is a nurse practitioner who threw out the traditional med spa playbook entirely. Instead of four walls and a reception desk, she built her entire aesthetic practice inside a custom converted Mercedes-Benz van she calls Big Bertha. No brick and mortar. No overhead. Just Botox, fillers, and a whole lot of flexibility. This episode is proof that there is no one right way to build a thriving aesthetic practice. In this episode: * How Michelle went from Atlanta to Florida with no established patient base and built a fully booked mobile aesthetic clinic almost entirely through Instagram * What the inside of Big Bertha actually looks like and how she converted a Mercedes-Benz van into a fully functioning medical grade treatment space  * Why her patients do not just tolerate the mobile experience, they prefer it, booking appointments at places most convenient for their schedule * The real challenges of operating completely solo and what she wishes she had known before starting Resources + Links Work with Mike, learn more about social media and ads for your MedSpa: https://medspamediagroup.com/ [https://medspamediagroup.com/] Book with MC Aesthetics: https://michellechapmanaesthetics.com/ [https://michellechapmanaesthetics.com/] Follow Mike LeMieux: https://www.instagram.com/mikelemieux/ [https://www.instagram.com/mikelemieux/] MedSpa Media: https://www.instagram.com/medspa_media/ [https://www.instagram.com/medspa_media/] MC Aesthetics: https://www.instagram.com/mc_aesthetics__?igsh=NTNlbWF0MzFqanI0 [https://www.instagram.com/mc_aesthetics__?igsh=NTNlbWF0MzFqanI0]

Regenerative Medicine and the Next Era of Aesthetics with Dr. Steven Sorr

Dr. Steven Sorr is not your average aesthetics provider. A former Le Cordon Bleu trained chef turned functional medicine doctor, he brings a perspective on patient care that connects what you eat, how you sleep, and how stressed you are directly to how well your treatments perform. In this episode, we explore the techniques, technology, and personal philosophy behind one of the most thoughtful practices in aesthetic medicine today. In this episode: * Why spending more time with patients leads to better clinical outcomes * Why your patient's nutrition and stress levels affect how their laser or biostimulator performs * How AI is starting to change the way providers analyze and act on patient data * What his personal health transformation taught him about the patient experience * How a background in clinical nutrition shapes the way he approaches skin health * Why behavioral change is more powerful than any peptide or biostimulator * Why empowering patients with knowledge produces better long term results than treatment alone * The cosmaceutical drink Dr. Sorr helped formulate to prime skin before procedures Resources + Links Work with Mike, learn more about social media and ads for your MedSpa: https://medspamediagroup.com/ [https://medspamediagroup.com/] Book with Source of Health: https://www.mysourceofhealth.com/#hero [https://www.mysourceofhealth.com/#hero] Follow Mike LeMieux: https://www.instagram.com/mikelemieux/ [https://www.instagram.com/mikelemieux/] MedSpa Media: https://www.instagram.com/medspa_media/ [https://www.instagram.com/medspa_media/] Source of Health: https://www.instagram.com/sourceofhealth/ [https://www.instagram.com/sourceofhealth/] Dr. Steven Sorr: https://www.instagram.com/drstevensorr/ [https://www.instagram.com/drstevensorr/]
