Day 1 at The Fresh Life 2025

  The content of this blog is designed and intended for the education of Healthcare Professionals.

The Fresh Life 2025 opened at the iconic Howard Smith Wharves in Brisbane today, with energy, insight, and a clear reminder of why this community comes together each year: to share, to learn, and to grow stronger as an industry.

The day then kicked off with a dose of mindset mastery, as Chelsea Pottenger, Director & Founder of EQ Minds, set the tone in her keynote, The Mindful High Performer. Chelsea equipped the room with practical tools to avoid burnout and thrive under pressure - showing how emotional flexibility, resilience, and creativity can transform not just performance, but wellbeing too.

From there, Dr Dan Kennedy, Specialist Plastic Surgeon, returned to the stage with Relfydess in Real Life, sharing six-month outcomes from this next-generation biostimulator. His candid insights gave delegates a realistic view of what can be achieved in practice.

Next up, we heard from Dr Konstantin Fran in Beyond Rheology, where he unpacked the science of G Prime, demonstrating how Croma’s Macro Technology is redefining precision in structural treatments. Meanwhile, Dr Kim Booysen’s session, Precision Matters, gave practitioners a masterclass in forehead toxin optimisation, covering dilution, dosage, anatomy, and product choice. 

The spotlight then shifted to one of the most pressing health issues facing Australians: obesity. Dr Anita Sharma’s session, Mounjaro: Your Questions Answered, unpacked the science behind this new GLP-1/GIP medicine and its role in reshaping obesity and metabolic care.

Midday also saw an invite-only highlight: Evolus hosted a private lunch, Be Fearless: The Showcase, featuring Agnes Dube, Jamal Ammar, Sharna Hill, and Elly Seymour. Guests were treated to inspiring insights and bold conversations about the future of aesthetics.

The business and patient experience sessions were just as compelling. Kelly George led Results-Driven Practice, offering strategies to align innovation with sustainable clinic growth. Then Samantha Cox brought the luxury lens to From Guests to Clients, teaching how intentional client care can transform experiences and elevate retention.

The afternoon closed with two packed stage sessions. In The Unfiltered Filler Look,  Alex Pike tackled the evolving aesthetic desires of patients influenced by TikTok and Instagram, exploring how practitioners can meet these shifting expectations without compromising artistry. Then, Wayne Griffiths and Helen Planting showcased a powerful live demonstration in Power Pairing: PRP + Radiesse, highlighting how regenerative medicine is reshaping skin quality and subdermal support.

As the sun set, delegates gathered for the Evolus Welcome Event on the river deck. With bubbles in hand and Brisbane’s skyline as the backdrop, conversations flowed as new connections were made and old ones rekindled.

The first day of The Fresh Life 2025 was a huge success! We can't wait to see what Day 2 has in store!
