Member Spotlight: TB Cosmetics

This month, we’re excited to shine the spotlight on Tayla, founder of TB Cosmetics.

With a passion for aesthetics and a heart for helping others, Tayla’s journey to owning her own business is inspiring - and she's here to tell us why it's anything but superficial.

What began as a dream has turned into a thriving business. "I started working at a skin clinic, and then I decided it was time to do my own thing," Tayla shared.

Tayla’s love for the aesthetic industry has always been strong, but she didn’t initially see it as a career path. “I’ve always loved cosmetics. It’s always been a dream of mine, I just never thought I’d actually do it,” she said.

Tayla started TB Cosmetics a few years ago and never looked back. “I started my own business… and I love it. It’s the best job. I feel so grateful that I can be my own boss and do a job that I love while making people feel good every day,” Tayla said with enthusiasm.

Tayla’s business, TB Cosmetics, specialises in non-surgical cosmetic treatments, with a focus on facial harmony, skin rejuvenation, and fat reduction. TB Cosmetics offers complimentary consultations where Tayla creates personalised treatment plans for her clients.

Tayla’s approach emphasises a natural aesthetic, ensuring her clients not only look their best but also feel confident in their skin. Education is a key part of her business, as she helps patients achieve their skincare goals while understanding the treatments they receive.

One of the most surprising aspects of the industry for Tayla was how much it impacts people emotionally. “When I first started this job, I thought it was quite superficial. Then I started working in the industry and was shocked at how not superficial it is,” she explains. “It’s so nice to make people feel so good about themselves, and it’s not about how they look on the outside - it’s about how they feel on the inside.”

Why Fresh Clinics?

A proud member of the Fresh Clinics community, Tayla has been with Fresh for five years, and she can’t imagine working with anyone else. “I work for myself, but I also feel like I’m part of such a big community with Fresh Clinics. They supply so many training opportunities, they have so much education, and they’re always there for you.” she said.

For those thinking about entering the cosmetic industry, Tayla’s advice is simple: just do it. “Just get started and do it - you won’t look back,” she encouraged.

She also highlights the importance of having support, which is why she’s such a strong advocate for joining Fresh Clinics. “I highly recommend joining Fresh because they are here to support you, train you, and help you with your business.”

Tayla’s story is a powerful reminder of what can be achieved with determination, passion, and the right support. We are proud to feature her this month and look forward to seeing TB Cosmetics continue to thrive and make a positive impact on many.

Introducing Evolus: A New Era in Aesthetics

21 Featured Image specs (1)-2

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

The latest toxin taking the world by storm has arrived in Australia - and Fresh Clinics is the first to access it for their Members.

Meet Evolus, not only the newest toxin in 10 years, but a visionary in performance beauty, challenging conventions, and inspiring transformation. Evolus began its journey back in 2013. After rigorous clinical trials involving over 2,100 patients, their efforts culminated in approval in the US, Canada, and Europe. By 2023, the product earned approval from the TGA in Australia.

Unlike traditional pharmaceutical companies, Evolus is dedicated to creating innovative products for medical aesthetics clinicians. As part of their global expansion, they have launched Nuceiva® (prabotulinumtoxinA) in Australia, adding to their successful presence in the United States, Canada, and Europe.

Fresh Clinics recently hosted the much-anticipated Evolus launch, exclusive to Fresh Members. We put together a recap of the event, and how this latest toxin is about to transform the landscape of aesthetic treatments.

Dr John Delaney, calling in live from Fresh Clinics headquarters in North Sydney, encapsulated the significance of the launch perfectly: "What’s pretty remarkable about this session is it’s all coming to you live from Fresh Clinics.” This marked the first live product demonstration at our HQ.

Evolus isn’t your regular pharmaceutical company; it's a performance beauty company dedicated exclusively to medical aesthetics, striving to evolve the future of beauty. Daniel Henry, General Manager for Evolus Australia, highlighted the ethos behind the company: "We are Evolus, where artistry meets science. We are a movement against the ordinary."

Clinical Data

Dr David Eccleston, calling in from the UK shared insightful clinical data, emphasising the success behind the development of this product. The large-scale trials demonstrated that Nuceiva® could stand toe-to-toe with market toxin leaders... “87% of subjects achieved the target of at least one improvement at day 30 compared to 83% of subjects in the competitor's group,” Dr Eccleston shared, underlining the product’s efficacy.

Key points also included:

  • Immunogenicity: Nuceiva® showed 0 cases of neutralising antibodies, unlike many of its competitors
  • Patient Satisfaction: Feedback from patients was overwhelmingly positive, with many noting quicker onset and longer duration of results, coupled with a more natural look

Hands-On Demonstration

Amber Pappas, Director of Medical Affairs at Evolus, treated us to a behind-the-scenes tour of the Evolus Bus in Denver. This innovative setup includes anatomy labs, silicone simulations, and educational events for medical professionals. Amber provided detailed demonstrations of injection techniques with Nucevia®, using their advanced tools and model.

Our very own Dr John Holbrook performed a live demo from Fresh Clinics HQ, explaining the procedure and best practices. He emphasised the importance of delivering toxin where the muscles are, ensuring effective and safe results for patients.

Evolus CEO David Moatazedi summed up the company’s approach: "We saw an opportunity to create a company that operates differently. We're dedicated to cash pay, we're digitally powered and forward-thinking. And we have a modern edgy brand made with the 900 kDa (Kilodalton) molecule." This commitment to innovation and patient satisfaction is what sets Evolus apart.

In today’s competitive market, Evolus stands out with its innovative approach and commitment to patient satisfaction. Their investment in cutting-edge technology and high-purity processes ensures that their products are not just effective but also safe. For clinicians and patients alike, Evolus' entry into the Australian market promises a new standard in aesthetic treatments.

Reflecting on The Fresh Life 2023: One Year On

Reflecting on The Fresh Life 2023: One Year On

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.

Screenshot 2024-09-13 at 4.12.03 pm

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...

The Future of Wound Healing in Aesthetics
September 13, 2024

The Future of Wound Healing in Aesthetics

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.

Screenshot 2024-09-13 at 3.49.58 pm

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.

A Greener Experience at The Fresh Life

As the aesthetic industry continues to evolve, so does our commitment to sustainability. At The Fresh Life 2024, we are excited to show our dedication to protecting the environment while offering a unique and memorable outdoor conference experience.

Known for breaking away from the 'classic' conference, The Fresh Life combines outdoor learning, workshops, panels, small group training, activations, and wellness activities - all set against the stunning backdrop of Byron Bay's beaches and rainforests.

A Breath of Fresh Air

One of the standout features of The Fresh Life is our unique outdoor setting. Instead of dark, windowless conference rooms, we’re embracing the natural beauty of Byron Bay. By holding our conference at the Crystalbrook Byron, we're enhancing the experience for our attendees with the stunning scenery of the rainforest, which serves as a reminder of the significance of learning and education in the outdoors.

Sip Sustainably

With sustainability at the forefront of the conference, you'll notice our lanyards aren't made of plastic, and the venue is covered in wood and green. In our efforts to reduce waste, we’ve also swapped out plastic straws for eco-friendly paper ones and ditched single-use plastic bottles for our glass hydration stations. 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.

Sustainable Sourcing

Nourishing our bodies with fresh food plays a central role at The Fresh Life, and this year, we’re proud to offer a menu that’s as sustainable as it is delicious. All our food is ethically and sustainably sourced from local suppliers. By choosing local, we support the community, reduce our carbon footprint, and ensure that our attendees enjoy the freshest and most nutritious meals possible.

You can also play your part in helping us hit our sustainability goals by offsetting the emissions of the flights you take.

Get ready to learn, grow, and enjoy a conference that’s as kind to the planet as it is to its attendees. See you there!
