This didn’t happen by accident.
When hype outpaces evidence,
when influencers replace clinicians,
and when accountability disappears –experimentation moves out of medicine and into the feed.
At-home injectables are not empowerment.
They’re the predictable and dangerous endpoint of hype without limits.
Aesthetic medicine is still medicine.
Here’s to reclaiming the science in 2026.

Coming soon: a 2025 year-in-review series.
We’ll be looking at how hype overtook evidence, particularly in the regenerative space.
From PRP to PDGF, extraordinary claims were made with little to no supporting data.
For many of these treatments, long term-evidence on safety and efficacy is still lacking – yet their popularity has grown exponentially.
More to come.

Another “regenerative miracle”? Let’s talk about PRF-Gel.
PRF-Gel has recently gained traction as the natural, regenerative alternative to HA fillers… depending on who you ask.
A handful of small pilot studies, short follow-up, varying preparation protocols, no controlled trials against HA fillers, and long term behaviour a mystery.
And unlike HA, it isn’t reversible.
A familiar story.
A new crown.
Thoughts?

Peptides and NAD+ are now sold as solutions for everything – improving skin quality, lifting mood, restoring energy, enhancing immunity, repairing “cellular damage,” reducing inflammation, even reversing ageing.
Not one of these claims is supported by robust human clinical trials.
If it claims to fix everything, it probably fixes nothing.

Enhancement respects anatomy.
Alienisation fights it.
A small amount of filler, placed precisely, can enhance shape without distorting identity or function.
Keep it simple. Keep it anatomical.

Fat grafting and HA fillers are not interchangeable.
Both have their place, but they’re different tools with different behaviours, risks and outcomes.
Good aesthetic results come from choosing the right approach for the right patient, not from pretending one technique can replace the other.
As always, anatomy, indication and expertise matter more than ideology.

Filler fill.
Surgery lifts.
Different tools, different purposes – and both can be transformative when used correctly.
The real magic happens when clinicians stop arguing about whose method is “better” and start collaborating around what the patient actually needs.
No rivalry.
No turf war.
Just the right treatment for the right face at the right time.
Patients win when we collaborate.

Over the last couple of weeks, there’s been a resurgence of surgeons loudly claiming that HA fillers “interfere” with facelifts.
Important to note, there are:
- No studies showing HA fillers make facelifts less effective
- No increase in surgical complications
- No controlled data of any kind
- Just opinions – repeated loudly enough to sound like fact
If HA fillers genuinely compromised facelift outcomes, we’d see it across thousands of cases and in the literature – but we don’t.
This was never about fillers.
It’s about ego, fear-narratives, and storytelling being presented as science.
Extraordinary claims require strong evidence.
Your ego doesn’t count as evidence.

Nasal threads are still sold as “simple” and “non-invasive.”
But anatomically, they blindly cross dorsal nasal artery, angular artery territory, and key perforators – vessels and nerves (external nasal, infratrochlear) you do not want to traumatise.
Real risks include:
- Vascular injury (including necrosis)
- Nerve damage
- Infection (cellulitis, abscess)
- Airway obstruction, valve collapse
- Foreign body granulomas
- Chronic inflammation
- Thread migration, breakage, extrusion
- Dimpling, puckering, surface irregularities
- Distortion of nasal shape
- Scar tissue (fibrosis)
- Difficulty with future fillers
(blocked planes, inflamed tissue)
- Difficulty with future surgical rhinoplasty
(scarred plane, unpredictable results)
- Need for surgical removal or correction
And unlike filler, you can’t dissolve a thread if something goes wrong.
So the question remains:
Can you really justify nasal threads?

The idea that hyaluronic acid gel can “lift” retaining ligaments goes against basic surgical anatomy.
Facial ligaments are dense, fibrous tethers anchoring tissue to bone. They don’t contract, tighten, or elevate – they simply hold structures in place.
In a facelift, surgeons release these ligaments to allow the SMAS and deep fat pads to move upward. The ligaments aren’t reattached higher, the SMAS is.
So the notion that filler injected under a ligament can lift it mechanically isn’t just an exaggeration – it’s anatomically impossible.
Filler adds volume.
It is not a pulley, a crane, or a lifting device.
Agree?
