Profiles In Aesthetics
Behind every flawless before-and-after photo is a professional who’s questioned if they even belong in aesthetics.
Maybe you’ve had the same thoughts, wondering if you’re the only one struggling, if you’ll ever feel truly confident with a syringe in your hand, or if everyone else has it all figured out.
That’s why Profiles in Aesthetics, hosted by Lonny Green, MD, was created. This isn’t another surface-level aesthetics podcast. Every episode delivers real, unfiltered conversations with top injectors, medical spa owners, and other aesthetic professionals who’ve faced, and overcome—the same challenges you’re navigating. While every story is unique and every journey different, they all share one thing in common: the people you admire today once felt uncertain, unclear, and a little bit scared, just like you.
On this one-of-a-kind podcast, guests open up, go deep, and share their struggles—along with how they overcame them.
What We’ll Cover in Future Episodes:
- Injector education for every career stage, from new nurses to advanced practitioners
- How to stand out in a crowded aesthetics market without chasing every trend
- Navigating patient concerns about looking “overdone”
- Creating a sustainable med spa business model that supports your lifestyle
- Staying ahead of aesthetic industry trends without falling for the hype
This Is for You If:
- You’re a nurse injector, PA, NP, MD, cosmetic doctor, dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or medical aesthetician looking to grow
- You own or manage a med spa and want proven business, marketing, and leadership strategies
- You want mentorship that’s practical, real, and not tied to selling a product or course
- You believe in integrity, artistry, and creating results that help patients feel confident
Whether you’re just starting your career in aesthetics or have years of injecting behind you, this podcast provides the mindset shifts, tactical strategies, and real-world encouragement to take your work—and your business—to the next level.

Profiles In Aesthetics
Zero Badges, Zero Limits: How Failure Freed Me - Dr. Tim Pearce
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Dr. Tim Pearce sat alone on the floor of his South African school assembly hall, surrounded by empty space, while his classmates collected their achievement badges on stage. He had earned exactly zero. That moment of shame became the foundation for a career spent being on people's side, the one thing he never had.
Dr. Tim Pearce is co-founder of Skin Viva Training Academy and Skin Viva Clinic, one of the UK's leading aesthetic education and clinical practices. Starting as a medical professional who never received a single badge or certificate throughout his schooling, Tim transformed himself into an internationally recognized educator whose consultation framework and clinical approach have influenced thousands of aesthetic practitioners worldwide.
In this conversation, Tim and Lonny discuss topics such as why inspiration only strikes when you have the potential to achieve something, how the reticular activating system filters reality based on your hopes and fears, the difference between a vision and an anti-vision and why they often block each other, what Nelson Mandela taught him about leadership through leaving anger behind, why spending five years deciding whether to start a business wastes brain power when you already know the answer, the moment a physics exam changed everything and connected effort with reward for the first time, how sculpting ugly alien heads repeatedly taught him that discomfort precedes mastery, why tactical empathy from FBI negotiation techniques works better than defensiveness with difficult patients, the critical difference between being a clinician for your staff versus being a clinician for your business, how chronic disappointment for many years actually freed him from everyone's expectations, why his children learn more from observing outcomes than listening to pep talks, the Super Nanny principle of love and boundaries in leadership, how Miranda's inspired vision to speak on stage pulled their entire business into an ecosystem of successful people with no strategic connection, why he interviews aesthetic practitioners by making them sculpt a horse's head, and the power of commitment over contemplation when you already know who you are.
