In this episode of Needles & Nonsense, Tristan is joined by fellow injector April for a candid, educational, and entertaining conversation that blends real industry insight with unfiltered hot takes.
April shares her career journey from bedside nursing into aesthetics, explaining what drew her to the specialty and how her clinical background shaped the way she practices today. April also shares her journey to growing a loyal following on TikTok and how social media became a powerful tool for education, visibility, and credibility in aesthetics. Together, they discuss what it really takes to build trust online in a medical field that’s often misunderstood.
A major topic in this episode is PDGF and the growing controversy surrounding it in the aesthetic space. April and Tristan unpack what PDGF and their thoughts on the platelet derived growth factors in the aesthetic space.
The episode features their aesthetic “ins and outs,” including why chasing every flaw can backfire, why symmetry should be the priority, and a breakdown of how cheek filler can easily go wrong in the wrong hands.
Equal parts educational and entertaining, this episode gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the professionalism, strategy, and philosophy behind modern aesthetic practice.
