They touch on the topic of getting treatments done abroad and the potential pending regulations in aesthetics. The conversation revolves around the need for regulation in the aesthetics industry. The lack of a framework and standardized education in aesthetics is a concern, and there is a need for regulations to ensure that all practitioners have a certain level of education. The conversation also touches on the divide between non-medics and medics in the industry, with both sides having their strengths and weaknesses. The importance of accountability and licensing is emphasized, with a discussion on the potential challenges of licensing for mobile aesthetics practitioners. The conversation concludes with advice on attracting and gaining new clients, advertising strategies, and the importance of thinking outside the box.KeywordsKatia, Harrow, Lebanese, family, upbringing, diversity, protective brothers, aesthetics, NHS, wedding, dress, wedding theme, wedding in Vegas, relationship with parents, starting an aesthetics business, social media marketing, aesthetics, social media, self-evaluation, support, collaboration, unregulated treatments, training, industry knowledge, transparency, ultrasound machines, risks, complications, treatments abroad, pending regulations, aesthetics industry, regulation, framework, standardized education, non-medics, medics, accountability, licensing, mobile aesthetics, attracting clients, advertising strategies, thinking outside the box Takeaways Growing up in Harrow was diverse and filled with different cultures.
