As we look back on the incredible experience that was The Fresh Life 2023, it's hard to believe a year has already passed.

We're preparing for The Fresh Life 2024, and we can’t help but reminisce on last year’s conference.

This unique conference, famed for its departure from traditional formats, offered a blend of outdoor activities, wellness, and education in Byron Bay.

Held at the picturesque Crystalbrook, the venue alone set the tone for a refreshing and immersive educational event. The lush rainforests and proximity to the beach made it feel like a mini-retreat. Large tipi tents filled with rattan furniture and outdoor rugs created a relaxed, Bali-like atmosphere where attendees could network and learn from KOLs.

The conference featured two expansive stages, hosting presentations from top-tier injectors, marketing gurus, and motivational speakers. Yemi Penn's keynote on embracing possibilities was truly inspiring, while Dr Steven Liew's comparison of human treatment to AI technology sparked fascinating discussions about the future of cosmetic procedures.

Notable speakers like Dr Bob Khanna provided valuable insights into anatomy-based injection techniques, and sessions from Suzie Hoitink, and Sam Peek equipped delegates with entrepreneurial and professional growth strategies.

Another highlight was the 'Freshchella' Finale, a Coachella-themed event. With festival outfits, live music, and activities, it was an unforgettable evening that blended fun with professional networking.

Looking back, The Fresh Life 2023 was more than just a conference - it was a retreat, a place to reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and walk away with invaluable skills to take back to your clinics.

We can't wait to see what The Fresh Life 2024 has in store...

Imagine a world where skin rejuvenates faster and wounds heal with minimal scarring.

Introducing TR Pro+; a hydrogel formulation that is changing the game in tissue repair. This isn't just another skincare product; it’s a scientifically formulated to accelerate healing, enhance skin protection, and optimise cosmetic and medical procedure outcomes.

Tissue Repair, an Australian company founded in 2015, has been making waves in medical aesthetics with its product TR Pro+. The product’s key active ingredient is beta-glucan, derived from everyday baker’s yeast. Over two decades of rigorous scientific research has gone into its ability to modulate the immune response, therefore promoting faster and healthier skin healing.

The Science: Beta-Glucan

Beta-glucan is a polysaccharide found in the cell walls of yeast, algae, bacteria, and certain grains like oats and barley. The beta-glucan used in TR Pro Plus is extracted from baker’s yeast and formulated into a hydrogel. It's a large molecule beta-glucan that penetrates the skin's epidermis and reaches the dermis, where it activates immune cells known as macrophages.

Macrophages are essentially the body’s guard cells. These immune cells recognise the beta-glucan and become activated, producing growth factors and cytokines which aid in skin healing. Unlike smaller beta-glucans, TR Pro Plus maintains its large structure, ensuring effective activation of the product.

"The cooling sensation the hydrogel gives really takes the edge off the pain during treatments like needling. It’s incredibly soothing." - Nurse Charlotte, Tissue Repair.

Beta-glucan has shown promise in closing venous leg ulcers, as evidenced by two phase-two FDA studies. These studies highlighted the gel’s ability to close chronic wounds more effectively than placebo treatments. Currently, the product is undergoing phase-three clinical trials in both Australia and the U.S., aiming to treat 600 patients across these regions.

"We received TGA approval about a month ago, and this endorsement allows us to now reach out broadly to consumers.” - Dr Daryl Reed, Tissue Repair.

Real Results

The product has been a lifesaver for patients dealing with conditions like eczema and post-surgical wounds. For instance, in skin cancer excision cases, patients reported accelerated healing with minimal inflammation when TR Pro+ was applied immediately post-procedure.

Aesthetic Procedures

TR Pro+ is designed not only for wounds but also for aesthetic procedures. Think laser resurfacing, biopsies, injectables and skin needling. “TR Pro Plus is increasingly becoming the go-to post-procedure solution. Charlotte shares, “You can use TR Pro Plus anywhere there is trauma to the skin via heat lasers, needles, or resurfacing chemicals. It’s incredibly versatile.” - Nurse Charlotte, Tissue Repair.

With its powerful combination of real-world efficacy and clinical versatility, TR Pro+ stands as a landmark product in the realm of skin care. Whether dealing with aesthetic treatments or medical procedures, TR Pro+ promises accelerated healing, reduced discomfort, and superior skin quality.

“We know so much about the active ingredient in this aftercare product — probably more than any other on the market at the moment. This isn’t just a claim; it's backed by years of research and real patient results.” - Dr Daryl Reed, Tissue Repair.

We have also opted for paperless QR code tickets and the entire programme is at the touch of a button via The Fresh Life app.

We’ve also set up dedicated recycling bins and areas throughout the venue, making it easy for everyone to dispose of waste responsibly. These initiatives help ensure that we leave Byron Bay as pristine as we found it.
