As the Chief Scientific Officer at Revance, Conor Gallagher spearheads R&D, process and analytical development under the umbrella of scientific innovation while also leading a team working on Revance's biosimilar program.
With the stated goal of setting a "new standard in healthcare by elevating patient and physician experiences," Revance boasts an impressive lineup of aesthetic and therapeutic offerings. Notable among these are the RHA Collection of dermal fillers, designed to adapt to dynamic facial movements for natural-looking results, and Daxxify, a long-lasting/fast-acting neurotoxin for smoothing frown lines that is powered by a novel peptide. What's more, Daxxify was recently approved for FDA approved for the treatment of cervical dystonia in adults.
And the future is looking even brighter with the recent announcement that Revance has entered into a merger agreement with Crown Laboratories to bring together their complementary product lines to create a leading, innovative, high-growth aesthetics and skincare company.
So tune in for a sneak peek at what's next in the biotech pipeline at Revance — and soon to be Crown Laboratories — on the latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.» Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/technology-of-beauty/id1510898426

In Episode 91, we heard from Michael Burke of Latticework Aesthetics and examined how he and his team are assembling a multi-brand aesthetic platform with an emphasis on board-certified plastic surgeons who care deeply about their patients.
Today, it is our pleasure to welcome Latticework Aesthetics' CEO Todd DeYoung to the show. In this interview, Todd takes yet a deeper dive into the business side of aesthetic practice consolidation — and how, when it is done right, doctors and patients alike reap the benefits.
With an impressive executive resumé spanning Procter & Gamble, Ameritech, Allstate, Motorola, and Clear Choice Dental, Todd has now entered the aesthetic amphitheater on a mission to "bring together the best practices so they can share best practices." And that includes a Fellowship program where tomorrow's surgeons can assimilate the wisdom of America's leading plastic surgeons, without being limited to a single location.
Find out how it all comes together on the latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.

"The biggest step forward in practical automation for the end user that I think I've seen in the industry … HERO is becoming HEROic."
Appearing individually on previous episodes of The Technology of Beauty, Sciton CEO Aaron Burton and EVP Robbie Brindley return to the show together with an altogether earthshaking announcement: that Sciton has not only improved upon, but somehow transformed what Dr. Stevens has famously dubbed "The Bentley of Lasers."
The culmination of 8 years of testing, engineering, research, and development, the BBL HEROic is a breakthrough pulsed-light device featuring Intelligent Control and Skin Positioning technology.
As for the difference it makes, Robbie explains how before "you'd step on the foot switch and you'd try to move your hand as quickly as possible to cover the area uniformly."
But with HEROic, the handpiece communicates with the source to see in time and space exactly where the operator has laid a pulse. With "no skips, no gaps, no double pulses," the computer and the skin positioning system deliver perfect uniformity while adapting to the body's curvature as well.
Find out how this new device promises to redefine the landscape of pulsed-light technology and ensure optimal results for every laser patient on the latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.

"60 million women in the US alone have cellulite. And even if we winnow that all the way down to who can afford it, who's so bothered to do something about it, we're still talking about 6 million women."
For all of the many successes in the beauty business, efforts to address cellulite have most commonly resulted in failure. That doesn't alter the fact that women want a solution for beauty below the waist — and it looks like Revelle Aesthetics CEO Caro Van Hove has an answer in the Avéli cellulite reduction device.
Revelle maintains that "Avéli delivers a long-term reduction in the appearance of cellulite in the buttocks and thighs for a wide variety of women, covering the full spectrum of cellulite complexity."
In what amounts to an effective one-time treatment for cellulite, the procedure is minimally invasive and can be performed by mid-level providers as a standalone treatment or by surgical providers in combination with other procedures.
Get a sneak peek at the "exciting ideas" Caro and her team of engineers are working on, and watch Dr. Grant Stevens demonstrate the Avéli device itself, all on the latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.» Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/technology-of-beauty/id1510898426

"I think fat is the future. It's the largest source of adult stem cells in the body, and it's the lowest hanging fruit."
Out of all the topics we've covered as we approach our 100th episode of The Technology of Beauty, regenerative aesthetics might be the most exciting of them all. Just imagine telling a patient, "We can remove excess fat from your thighs and use it to make you look younger and healthier."
Once the stuff of dreams, regenerative aesthetics may soon become a scientific fact. And according to Dr. Derek Banyard, CEO of Sayenza Biosciences, it could be here in a meaningful way as early as Q1 2025.
The power of regenerative medicine lies in using the patient's own cells for autologous, personalized healing. Fat, while an abundant source of stem cells, must first undergo time-consuming processing, making it clinically inefficient for regenerative purposes.
That's where Sayenza enters in. The company has developed an automated device that they claim will allow practitioners to process fat in under 15 minutes — creating a potent, ready-to-use therapeutic in a fraction of the time previously required. Proposed aesthetic use cases include hair restoration, skin rejuvenation, and post-operative wound healing, in addition to a wide range of more general medical applications.
Tune in for a forecasted view of what the future holds for Sayenza, and regenerative aesthetics at large, on the latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.» Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/technology-of-beauty/id1510898426

Marketing to the patients already in an aesthetic practice represents a massive opportunity for brands and clinics alike — one that remains sorely underleveraged in a large majority of cases.
The problem: How to cleanly and clearly promote the right offerings to the right patients at the right moment. There's no sense in advertising RF microneedling to a patient with an appointment for said service — but why not provide them with a physician-grade skincare option alongside a QR code for aftercare instructions?It's a pretty picture but, as most clinics quickly learn, seamless internal marketing programs are often a heavier lift than expected ... and we haven't even discussed the challenge involved in creating and curating all the necessary content to achieve high-quality patient education and cross-selling at scale.
What if there was a way to simplify the process and deliver a customizable patient experience on a screen-by-screen basis? And what if this solution was completely free for aesthetic practices?
In this episode of The Technology of Beauty, Dr. Grant Stevens welcomes Joe Schooler, Chief Product Officer at vrtly.ai, to discuss how his company is turning the world of in-practice advertising on its head by offering its AI-powered advertising platform at no cost to providers.
Leveraging his experience at eBay, Amazon, Google, and Apple, Joe has helped transform FriendMedia into what vrtly is today, putting the idea into action that the screens in an aesthetic practice should be dedicated to showing only the content that is most relevant to each patient. Vrtly helps to improve patient retention by providing customizable, effective marketing profiles.

One of the pitfalls of physician-grade skincare in the age of e-commerce is the Amazonification of elite product lines. But what if a company developed a patented technology to eliminate diversion and counterfeiting so that products are always professionally dispensed?
Dan Hopkins is here to tell us how his team found the answers. While remaining exceptionally physician-focused, AlumierMD was conceived to service an unmet need: medical-grade skincare, produced in a socially responsible way, that educates its customers on how to care for their skin.
Drawing on many years of experience at Allergan, Dan took on a managing role at AlumierMD in the midst of Brexit and guided the company into a period of sustained and substantial revenue growth, culminating in taking the helm as AlumierMD's CEO just over a year ago.
Find out how this strategic business leader with a strong track record in the cash-pay, medical aesthetic sector is building an exceptional physician-dispensed skincare brand in this latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.» Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/technology-of-beauty/id1510898426

In a wide-ranging interview with Dr. Grant Stevens, David Dean describes an uncommon journey in which he goes from being an All-American athlete with two national championships, to founding an aesthetic-based internet startup that ultimately went public via an NYSE IPO, to launching a lifestyle brand with a mission to help prevent teen suicide.
The latest stop on his entrepreneurial path is TONA Activewear. As the result of a 3-year/$2 million product development campaign, TONA has created "The only premium leggings made exclusively for girls who gym." Led by David and one of the Founding Designers of Lululemon, TONA is focused on creating the next generation of performance wear, and every pair sold supports teen suicide and self-harm prevention efforts.

It's common knowledge that one of the best ways to convert new prospects into patients is to give them a better understanding of the procedure they are interested in.
But patient education can be a problem for aesthetic practitioners. As Engage Technologies Group CEO C. Lloyd Mahaffey puts it, "Humans have the attention span of goldfish."
Drawing on experience Lloyd gained from working with K-12 and higher education markets at Apple under Steve Jobs, he recognized a gap between what the medical professional knows about a procedure and what the patient can understand.
Videos can help convey important information to patients — as long as you can clear the hurdle of getting them to actually watch the videos.
This is where the Engage Media platform thrives: by providing aesthetic practices with a fully integrated delivery system that satisfies patient questions and curiosity with education and certainty.
No mere collection of videos, the Engage platform features content crafted by world-class medical professionals that is curated for individual needs, along with an automated follow-up system designed to make it frictionless for patients to continue learning.
Yet for all of that, education is only half of the story.

"We want top-tier, board-certified plastic surgeons that want to grow, care about their staff, and care deeply about their patients."
When others preach the benefits of practice consolidation, they often talk a big game about how they'll "take the stress of your back office off your plate so you can focus on surgical." They promise to provide a fail-safe marketing strategy or a dominant sales force or airtight accounts receivable — and maybe it rings just a little hollow. Maybe a just a little too good to be true.
On the other hand, today's guest Michael Burke has the real world experience and know-how won from actually managing practice consolidation at scale.
As a leading executive at ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers, Michael played a key role in growing a handful of practices to a network of over 70 locations while helping to navigate the company through three different purchases, ultimately resulting in an acquisition by Aspen Dental.
As Michael emphasized, one of the most pivotal secrets to success in the midst of growth and change was the strength of a consistent management team that provided stability throughout ClearChoice's evolution and acquisition.
Today, as the President of Athenix, Michael works to partner with plastic surgeons who are ready to grow their practices for real. Without telling the doctor what to do, he and his team provide the guidance and resources to fuel that desired growth, thanks to significant investment from Latticework Capital Management, which focuses exclusively on building leading healthcare companies.
Michael's inspiration springs from a transformative personal experience in which a medical technology he was involved with played a pivotal role in saving the life of a family member. From that point on, his professional life has been driven by the desire to be a part of businesses that have the power to genuinely change lives — Athenix being no exception.

The last time we welcomed Galderma's Chief Scientific Officer to the show, Dr. Alan Widgerow spoke at length on "Unlocking the Secrets of Cellular-Level Skin Health" — and episode 59 is certainly well worth a watch on that subject (link below).

In short, here is a vitamin C-based topical serum that both conserves and stimulates elastin while also helping reduce the effects of free radicals in the skin.
But beyond a simple and commercial discussion of product, tune in for a deep dive into the mind behind Alastin's science-backed approach to skin health. Fueled by an insatiable thirst for discovery and underpinned by first-principles thinking, Dr. Widgerow's research has set an entirely new standard in the world of skincare.

How often does a genuinely novel aesthetic device make it past product-launch hurdles to make it into practices across the country?
Enter Jason Richey, President & CEO of Cytrellis Biosystems, to tell us about the nascent success of the Ellacor Micro-Coring system — the first of its kind to receive FDA clearance.
The brainchild of Cytrellis Founders Dr. Rox Anderson and Dr. Jay Austen, the Ellacor device uses hollow needles to remove "micro-cores" of skin less than .5 millimeters in diameter, causing the body's natural healing response to go into effect. Up to 8% of the skin in the treatment area can be removed, with the goal of improving skin architecture by allowing the skin to realign to close the cores.
Currently cleared for facial procedures, the device purports to fill a need for patients for patients interested in tightening and rejuvenating skin without a facelift.
With 120 devices installed as of the taping of this episode, and a goal of 300 installs by year-end, the future is looking bright for Ellacor. Tune in to find out what the potential of a wide range of additional applications could mean for complimentary dermal rejuvenation procedures on the latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.» Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/technology-of-beauty/id1510898426

"Alastin is certainly not the only brand in our offices, but it is my number one brand. And it's based on the science." — Dr. Grant Stevens
For far too long, skincare was more about style than substance. Flashy marketing and misleading claims wrapped around largely generic ingredients became the rinse and repeat formula for cosmetic brands.
While we've seen no shortage of technical progress in the world of aesthetic medicine, the skincare category has suffered from a dearth of true scientific innovation.

Imagine distilling the entire essence of an aesthetic practice into an iPad.
To state it simply, that's just what the TouchMD platform makes possible — but there's a whole lot more to unpack. You could call it a patient engagement platform, a Before and After photo solution, or a patient consultation tool, and you would be right on all counts. But the true power lies in bringing all these components together and making them available at every touch point so that the patient gets served just the right content at just the right time and with the right end goal in mind.
Perhaps mostly powerfully, TouchMD seeks to harness that distilled essence of a practice in order to maximize patient-provider time in a way that equates to higher conversion rates, increased cross-selling and up-selling, and higher all-around patient satisfaction.
So how does TouchMD help aesthetic practices around the country do all this? Tune in to hear it straight from TouchMD's President of Sales & Marketing, Tyler Terry.
Having been with the company for over 11 years, Tyler isn't shy in claiming that it is the #1 software in the aesthetic industry. More importantly, his genuine passion comes through when he talks about what the platform can do to create better-educated, empowered patients, for the benefit of all concerned.
Find out how TouchMD is rethinking the patient consult process, and stick around for when Tyler reveals what the future holds for TouchMD, all on the latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.» Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/technology-of-beauty/id1510898426

According to an oft-cited survey, over 65 million Americans are considering receiving an aesthetic treatment for the first time. Nick Magruder wants to make aesthetics more accessible for these consumers — and he may have found a way to do it.
Drawing on his experience as Co-Founder and CEO of FriendMedia (now vrtly.ai), where he built an innovative platform focused on delivering a seamless in-practice marketing platform to medical aesthetic providers, Nick is the new Co-Founder and CEO of True Aesthetics.
The stated mission? "To lower barriers to entry for self-confidence, fight against stigmas, and democratize medical aesthetics." As for what that means in practical terms, take the example of the so-called "liquid nose job" — a nonsurgical procedure arguably overlooked and under-marketed that yet offers an excellent entry point.
By getting consumers educated, engaged, vetted, and into seats, True Aesthetics is piloting a new white-glove model for third-party patient acquisition under the banner of their first direct-to-consumer brand, TrueNose.
The goal is to set a precedent for continued success in other areas:
• Identify a niche procedure and build a consumer brand around it.
• Drive awareness through various digital avenues.
• Streamline conversion with AI-driven online consultations.
• Partner with financing companies to pre-approve prospective patients and deliver qualified patients on demand.
With potential future verticals including "True Lips," "True Breast," "True Lipo," and even dental and wellness, find out why Dr. Stevens thinks the future looks bright for True Aesthetics on the latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.» Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/technology-of-beauty/id1510898426

Autologous cell treatments are already making an impact in our lives today but the truth is we are only just scratching the surface of what might be possible.
In our lifetime, aesthetic regenerative medicine will make a dramatic leap forward. The problem is that as our cells age they become less potent. That means many of us will never be able to experience the full impact of emerging regenerative innovation.
On episode no. 85 of the Technology of Beauty we hear from the CEO of a startup that has not only set out to solve this problem, but already has a solution in the marketplace designed to prepare today's generation for the regenerative advances ahead.
Meet Acorn Biolabs — The first non-invasive solution to preserve your younger follicle cells for use in regenerative medicine.
From locking in cell age with cryogenic preservation to developing a process for autologous cell regeneration that could speculatively allow for 3D-printing a pancreas, Acorn CEO Drew Taylor describes it all so clearly that it feels less like science fiction, and more like inevitable future fact.
But if it still seems too far off, or too good to be true, the first applications for these autologous cell-based therapies lie squarely in the realm of aesthetic medicine, where they are currently testing applications for their first cell-derived product composed of iPSCs — induced pluripotent stem cells.
Find out what it all means and stick around for a demonstration of the harvesting procedure on Dr. Grant Stevens himself on the latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.» Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/technology-of-beauty/id1510898426
