Now let's get into the episode. Hello everyone, and welcome to
0:34
the Doctor Randy Show, where we dive into the future of beauty,
0:39
aesthetics, and innovation with the leaders that are shaping
0:42
what's next. He spent over 2 decades building
0:47
across pharma aesthetics and device innovation.
0:51
He rose into senior leadership at MERS Aesthetics, helping
0:55
shape a leading force in the industry.
0:57
And now as founder and CEO of Pink Sky, he's focused on what's
1:03
next, where aesthetics, longevity, and innovation are
1:06
all headed. Please welcome Anthony Sirhan.
1:10
Welcome to the show, Anthony. Thank you, Doctor.
1:13
Randy, I'm super happy to be here with you today.
1:16
Appreciate you having me. We're thrilled to have you on
1:18
the show as well. And I'm going to, as usual, dive
1:22
right in. So Anthony, you have built a
1:26
career spanning more than two decades across pharma,
1:30
aesthetics, device innovation. You've seen it all from Takeda
1:35
to Medicis to all therapy into senior leadership at MERS.
1:41
I mean, this really positions you as an expert in our
1:44
industry, one of the top experts, I would say.
1:47
And now, as founder and CEO of Pink Sky, you've been part of so
1:53
many corners of aesthetics. Do you still get excited walking
1:57
into the industry every day? I really do.
2:00
I mean, this is such a fun ecosystem to take part in.
2:05
Being considered an expert is a huge compliment, especially
2:07
coming from you. So thank you for that.
2:09
I kind of consider myself a dinosaur in the ecosystem, but
2:13
it's so exciting every day. It's total fulfillment on my
2:16
end. We can tell.
2:18
I mean, we've seen your passion, you're all over social media,
2:21
you're making yourself known, and it's coming through.
2:24
So based on that depth of experience that we see, what do
2:29
you see as the single biggest shift that's happening in
2:33
aesthetics right now? So I look at this from different
2:36
perspectives. I have kind of grown up in
2:38
aesthetics, launched, you know, one of the first HA fillers on
2:42
the industry side. But I've been very close to the
2:45
practitioners, a lot of great friends and physicians that have
2:49
really been pioneers with all these different technologies and
2:52
products. I grew up in the aesthetic
2:54
ecosystem, but it wasn't the only place that I kind of came
2:57
from. So I really see if I step out of
3:00
that for a second because I'm also a new beauty consumer.
3:04
I love new beauty. I love your podcast and look at
3:07
this almost as like a convergence of aesthetics with a
3:11
whole other category. And I think what we're starting
3:15
to see is that collision of two big categories and very
3:19
different patients, very different consumers.
3:21
I consider myself a patient before anything else, and that's
3:24
pretty exciting. I think we have seen such a
3:27
shift in the last even 18 months and I'm loving watching it,
3:32
loving being a part of it. From your A vantage point, I'm
3:37
curious what you think about this.
3:39
Do you think that we are still in a true growth phase or are
3:45
you starting to see signs of shift or correction?
3:50
That's a great question. I think that it's all about
3:54
perspective. If you're sitting in the middle
3:56
of the aesthetic ecosystem and you look at market maturity,
4:00
there's kind of like different stages.
4:02
There's the emergence, there's acceleration.
4:05
So like awareness starts to grow.
4:07
I think you've been a big part of that and growing awareness
4:11
and others like you, you start to see new competitors, new
4:14
products coming into the market. There's a saturation of maturity
4:18
kind of element. So it's never linear.
4:21
You start to see shakeouts where some of the products will fall
4:26
out in an emergence of new products.
4:28
What I really think is happening right now is a reinvention or
4:32
collision of two markets, the Wellness sector with peptides
4:38
and GLP ones. But I do see this convergence of
4:41
Wellness and aesthetics coming together from a market maturity
4:47
standpoint. But that's where I really see
4:49
where we're at as a reinvention in the aesthetic space.
4:53
Agreed. So, as a fun exercise, if you
4:56
had to write the headline that's defining this moment in
5:01
aesthetics, what would it be? That's a good question.
5:04
There's some pressure there. I think based on what I just
5:08
said, it would probably be aesthetics and Wellness.
5:13
They're no longer parallel markets.
5:15
They're colliding forces. Nice, that's a good one.
5:19
Colliding forces, that's powerful.
5:23
So beyond that headline, what do you think is actually driving
5:29
the momentum we are seeing in aesthetics right now today?
5:33
Well, if I look at these two forces separately, there's this
5:37
shift. You've got a younger patient
5:39
demographic that's flooding into aesthetics right now.
5:43
But at the same time, when I have my aesthetic hat on, I
5:48
really think that the market is so open and consumers are
5:54
starting to get more access to these treatments and these
5:58
providers. If you look at the adult
6:00
population, which again, you get these new generations of your
6:04
readers and followers, they're looking at your podcast and
6:08
consuming content. There's really only 4% that have
6:12
ever had an aesthetic injection or considered it.
6:16
And then I look at the Wellness space, which is kind of a
6:19
different patient. I mean, there there is some
6:22
hybrid and we're seeing more of that now.
6:24
That's where I see that collision.
6:26
But that's about 20%. So that's where you start to see
6:30
this convergence. But again, you've got these
6:34
folks that are aging in to adulthood and they're looking at
6:39
this. You know, one of the buzzwords
6:41
in aesthetics is regenerative. And it really is something
6:45
special. I'm not going to say my age on
6:47
your show, but I'm kind of like that age that wants things that
6:53
are going. To be generous, Anthony, we just
6:55
tell all here, you know, we tell our age.
6:58
I'm 48. All right, there you go.
7:01
Yeah. I'm 48, but regenerative is very
7:04
attractive to me. But if I look at some of the
7:06
patients that we interact with across like our ecosystem with
7:10
our providers and some of the practices that we work with, you
7:14
know, they want to preserve what they have and the science is
7:17
catching up. So I almost think of this is
7:19
like pre generative for them. Like they're looking for pre
7:23
generative ways. And you hear this term
7:27
longevity, which really resonates.
7:30
But if you look at this other crowd on the other side of the
7:33
market, it's almost like a progevity.
7:36
How do you do things now that keeps you young?
7:40
I'm looking for things that keeps me like, yeah, older than
7:44
48, so that's longevity. But I just think it's such an
7:48
exciting time to see these two markets come together.
7:52
It is and every time I have a conversation with you, you tune
7:57
me into something that's new in the market and I love that you
8:02
show me things that I've never even heard of before.
8:05
So just to keep that flow going about regenerative if you don't
8:10
mind, there is a new wave of regenerative and longevity
8:16
driven treatments from peptides to NAD to advanced treatments
8:22
and advanced therapies that are coming on the market at the
8:25
speed of light. As the expert and I know you're
8:28
researching each one of these items, these are not just things
8:31
that you just take under your wing overnight, which seems the
8:34
most meaningful and exciting right now to you.
8:39
Wow, there's many things that are exciting, but I definitely
8:41
think peptides, weight loss, they're very attractive to me.
8:46
Years ago, before the GOP ones came on the scene, I was part of
8:50
a weight loss company where we swallowed A capsule.
8:53
We inflated a balloon in your stomach and you lose weight.
8:55
And with that, when you lost weight, you really start to see
8:58
these patients. What else can I do?
9:00
I lost facial volume and how do I restore that?
9:04
So we've got the bio stimulators are going to help you kind of
9:06
stimulate your own collagen and elastin.
9:09
I really think that the peptides and looking at the whole
9:13
patient, they go hand in hand and they're not going anyway.
9:17
So that's very exciting to me. I see other things too, where
9:22
we're using ozone to hyper oxygenate blood and it's almost
9:26
like the human oil change, if you will, Hyperbaric oxygen
9:30
chambers, red light therapy. These are all very exciting
9:34
things. But if I'm a patient, I'm very
9:37
interested in it. Peptides and GOP ones, they're
9:39
not going anywhere. I just saw a new oral was just
9:43
approved just yesterday which was really cool news too.
9:47
We've talked about this on the show.
9:48
Approximately 25% of the US population are afraid of
9:54
needles, right, Have a fear of needles.
9:56
So that opens up that market. You know, if one in eight people
10:01
are currently on GLP ones now, this is going to open it up to
10:05
even higher population. So it's going to really change.
10:09
I have a few favorites I'd like to ask you about that.
10:12
I'm curious your perspective on do you think that personalized
10:18
treatments tailored to genetics and biomarkers will become a new
10:23
standard? 100%, I think it's going to be
10:26
the Holy Grail. I really do.
10:28
I mean, we're all very different and all of these modalities that
10:34
we see, energy based devices, skin care, all of these
10:39
different things, we react differently to them.
10:42
And so when you have something that allows you to create a road
10:47
map or a compass for how these different treatments are going
10:51
to optimize your result, that's the Holy Grail because something
10:55
that might work well for me might not work well for you.
10:59
And I think that this is a smarter consumer base.
11:02
I like to think that, you know, I do my research before I do any
11:05
type of treatment, and if it's tailored to me and customized to
11:10
me, the outcomes going to be better.
11:11
So I think these physicians are going to have a really cool tool
11:17
to be able to tailor aesthetics and Wellness treatments to
11:21
access that longevity that everybody wants.
11:24
I think it's fascinating. I've just really started
11:28
learning about it over the last six months, but I'm very excited
11:32
for it to really explode into our market and for our viewers
11:37
and listeners. What we're really talking about
11:39
are tests that will be able to allow a patient to understand
11:46
and access what works for them, right?
11:49
Because isn't it intriguing where I can use something on my
11:54
skin and immediately it works and I'll see a glow and then I
11:59
share it with a friend and they're like, I tried that and
12:01
saw nothing. And then turn that into like
12:04
supplements and peptides and different things that we're
12:07
using. I mean, if you try to take a,
12:09
for example, like AB12 supplement, there's so many
12:13
different ways that B12 is packaged, right?
12:16
And which one works best for your chemistry and your body.
12:20
And that's what we're talking about here, coming up with
12:23
treatments and strategies in aesthetics and Wellness and
12:27
longevity that are customized for the patient, Right, Anthony?
12:32
Exactly. I mean, it's your point, if you
12:35
think about minoxidil, for example, and I love my hair, I
12:40
will do anything to keep my hair.
12:42
But if you could take a test, very simple cheek swab and you
12:48
know, 38% of the population cannot methylate minoxidil, but
12:52
there's pallets of minoxidil being sold at big box stores.
12:56
And so I would like to know before I go buy that product at
13:00
a big box store that it's going to work for me.
13:02
And that's the same with these other aesthetic treatments.
13:04
And if you could map, so everybody knows my biological
13:08
age now, but if you can look at a baseline for your collagen,
13:13
your elastin. So say I'm 48, but my collagen
13:17
and elastin is, you know, probably 5354 or or more, spend
13:24
a lot of time in the sun and you have that baseline, these
13:29
ingredients and treatments that my provider puts in motion for
13:34
me. And my care plan could actually
13:36
reverse that biological age of collagen and elastin.
13:39
That's why I say it's the Holy Grail, and I mean, it's here.
13:42
Anthony, you've just recently enlightened me about a lot of
13:46
what's going to be available very soon.
13:49
And so I think what we'll do is we'll plan to do my biomarkers
13:54
and then we'll come back and do a show about that and just
13:57
really go through and see what comes up and show our audience
14:01
like a real report of what this looks like.
14:03
What do you think about that? I love it.
14:05
I predict 21 all the way down the chart.
14:09
Yes, yes. Oh gosh, if my biological age
14:13
comes back at like 70, don't tell me, OK?
14:15
I don't want to know, but no, I think it's fascinating and I
14:20
think it's going to change everything over the next year or
14:23
so. I think we're going to see
14:25
people are going to attach on to that because there's definitely
14:28
a reason why. You know, I can put copper
14:31
peptides on my face and immediately see results.
14:34
And then I'll tell a friend and they're like, no, it doesn't
14:36
work at all for me. But you're explaining a simple
14:39
hair regrowth solution that doesn't work for 38% of the
14:43
population. So they're buying it and they're
14:45
saying this doesn't work, but yet the rest so the people it's
14:49
working for. So this is going to change
14:51
everything for us. I'm very excited.
14:53
It is, and it's a little different, Doctor Randy.
14:56
So you know, you've got DNA tests that you can take and you
15:01
send them in and it's like your hair is blonde, your eyes are
15:04
blue, you're from this part of the world.
15:06
This is a little different. Methylation is actually mapping
15:10
the genes and it's understanding how these different ingredients
15:14
or treatments, your genes would respond to them.
15:17
It's a little bit different. I mean, I think providers love
15:19
it. And it's just going to build
15:21
trust with the patient because they want to maximize their
15:24
outcome. Everybody's got less and less to
15:28
spend these days with the economy, so they really want to
15:31
spend and maximize that time with their provider.
15:34
Agree. And they want to know they're
15:35
going to get results as we're talking about technology and
15:39
advancements and things that are coming.
15:41
Let's talk about exosomes, OK? Also just a very hot topic.
15:46
We've had some great exosome companies on the show.
15:49
I love learning about it. I've tried the products.
15:52
The proof is in the results. They're no longer emerging,
15:55
right? A year ago we were talking about
15:57
exosomes are coming, but they're here.
16:00
Tell me, do you think that the technology has caught up to the
16:04
hype and where do you think we're headed from here with
16:08
exosomes? I think the technology has made
16:12
huge advancements and I think the science is only getting
16:16
better day by day. I just saw something really cool
16:19
where they're looking at how the source of the exosomes, where it
16:24
comes from these little messengers and how they activate
16:28
different genes. So they're really looking to see
16:31
how can you maximize the outcome.
16:33
I'd like to get deeper into the science, but to your point, they
16:37
keep getting deeper and deeper into the research and they're
16:39
not going anywhere. Exosomes are really intriguing
16:42
to me and I being incorporated into skin care and people are
16:46
loving the results they get with some of these products.
16:49
I think that we're just scratching the surface on that
16:51
too, right. So I think we're going to see it
16:53
incorporated into many more of the treatments that are
16:56
available to us. So excited to see where that
16:59
goes. Now shifting back to peptides a
17:02
little, it's quickly become the conversation and not just weight
17:08
loss, right? Because now people see what the
17:11
weight loss peptides were capable of.
17:13
Even though in the beginning everybody was afraid of it and
17:16
wasn't really sure if we should believe it, but now across
17:20
aesthetics, Wellness, longevity, where do you see peptides, maybe
17:27
over the next 12 months, having the most meaningful impact?
17:31
You know that FDA, they're going to take 14 more peptides off of
17:36
the do not go list, if you will. So I think that there's going to
17:41
be more options for providers. And again, if you really think
17:45
about tailoring treatment to an individual patient, there's just
17:49
more options that are coming. So I think that we're going to
17:53
see treatment stacking and cycling of peptides because not
17:58
everybody needs GHKCU or BBC 157.
18:03
Some need both. And when you've got more
18:06
options, the providers have more tools in their bag and people
18:09
just feel better when they're getting what they need.
18:13
I think there's a lot of confusion around it now, like
18:16
people are excited about it, but they're also confused and a
18:19
little nervous of, you know, how to try it, sort of like when the
18:22
GLP ones came around, right? So I think that over the next 12
18:26
months, we'll see some more clarity on that and that'll be
18:30
great for the industry. The confusion is real.
18:33
And when we're talking to providers too, I mean, some of
18:36
the questions they need to ask are where the peptides coming
18:38
from. I mean, they got to make sure
18:40
that they're coming from, you know, a great source, but you
18:44
start to see these protocols coming out and that just adds
18:48
clarity in a confused market. But you got really savvy
18:52
providers that are providing, you know, just game changing
18:56
treatment protocols for patients.
18:58
If you don't mind, I want to talk about a topic that is often
19:03
in the peptide conversation, but it isn't a peptide, which is
19:06
important to note, but that's NAD.
19:08
OK. NAD has really risen to the top
19:12
of the longevity conversation. We've had people on our show
19:16
talk about that it made them feel 20 years younger, like it
19:20
changed their life, but talking about those biomarkers.
19:24
And I've also had people tell me they've tried it and felt
19:27
nothing. So sometimes I think, again,
19:30
with the NAD, it's going to be based on the person's genetic
19:34
makeup. But both in terms of longevity
19:37
and how it may start to influence the aesthetic side.
19:40
We just did a show about NAD in skin care, so I think NAD is a
19:45
hot topic. I'm very curious your
19:47
perspective here. I have not done NAD yet, but I
19:51
have tried skin care that has the last component in the cycle
19:56
that actually helps your body create its own NAD.
19:59
It's your endogenous NAD which is really exciting.
20:05
There's some cool products that I've seen of it.
20:07
Basically NAD is absorbed through the mucosa of the top of
20:10
your mouth, which is really cool.
20:12
So for those that might not want to try injections or they want
20:17
to step into an oral first, there's options there.
20:22
The skin care is cool. I think that that's really going
20:25
to blow up that last component in the cycles called NMN, which
20:30
is nicotinamide nucleotide I believe.
20:34
So that's that last piece that has your body create that Ned
20:39
plus, which is going to help push out those older cells.
20:42
I think it's next level stuff. If you put Ned just on the skin,
20:46
it's not going to be able to process anything.
20:48
But if you can create your own endogenous or take a exogenous
20:54
source, I mean, you're really on to something there.
20:57
I'm excited to see where NAD goes.
20:59
I have not tried it yet either, but that is definitely on my
21:03
list. And I have tried the skin care
21:06
and that has been very successful.
21:08
So results are there. Let's dive a little deeper into
21:12
the newer technologies that you're involved in.
21:14
Things like EBU and even the evolution of hyperbaric oxygen,
21:20
which has been around a long time, but now it's shifted gears
21:23
a little bit. So where do you see these
21:26
fitting into the longevity conversation and how they may
21:31
kind of steer the ship back into aesthetics even?
21:34
The hyperbaric oxygen is really having its day or resurgence as
21:39
well because the chambers are getting better, there's better
21:43
technology. Some people are putting them in
21:45
their homes as well, which is really kind of cool to see.
21:49
The one I'm really excited about is Eboo.
21:51
I call it the human oil change to keep it very simple, where
21:55
it's not unlike an IV, but you're pulling blood from one
21:59
side. So it's like having an IV in
22:01
each arm and they're pulling it through a machine that basically
22:06
adds UV light. So you're getting rid of any of
22:09
the bacteria, viruses and filtering it through like an FDA
22:15
approved dialysis filter. And then they hyper oxygenate
22:20
the blood through ozonation and then it comes back through the
22:25
other side. So it almost comes out darker
22:28
and then goes in the other side is like a beautiful bright red.
22:32
But what's happening is they're filtering out like heavy metals,
22:36
micro plastics, folks that are, you know, suffering from like
22:40
long COVID. Some people that are just
22:43
healthy, they're in the gym and they just want a nice oil change
22:46
to filter things out. But these patients are feeling
22:49
great and I've just seen it's absolutely exploding.
22:54
It's really fun. It's very cool.
22:56
I've been reading about it, researching about it.
22:59
I've seen videos, I've seen even celebrities talking about it
23:03
that it's like life altering for them.
23:06
So I'll let you try it first and then report back to me on how
23:11
you think about it. But I think these are the things
23:13
that are fascinating, these technologies of how they're
23:17
going to kind of change our life.
23:18
And Speaking of technology, hair restoration is a much bigger
23:24
category than it has been in prior years.
23:27
Not that it wasn't always a part of our aesthetic conversation,
23:32
but now that the GLP ones have really taken over our space and
23:40
with more than 50% of the GLP 1 users saying they're
23:44
experiencing some hair loss, hair restoration has really kind
23:50
of come into the conversation. Every time there is a
23:53
conversation, you, how are you feeling?
23:55
How are you feeling about your aesthetic?
23:57
What can we work on? That conversation keeps coming
24:00
up. I'm curious what you're seeing
24:02
in terms of demand and innovation in that space right
24:05
now. The demand is definitely there.
24:08
Again, you referenced earlier how many folks are on GOP's that
24:12
can impact your hair. You're seeing TRT and HRT really
24:16
take hold. It's making people feel great
24:19
and adding that youth back into their step, the pep in their
24:23
step. But that also comes with
24:25
sometimes the thinning of the hair.
24:28
And I told you before, like, I do not want to lose my hair, so
24:31
I will do anything to keep my hair.
24:33
What we're seeing is different solutions for hair.
24:37
There's injectables, there's PRP, there's a lot of different
24:42
things that are out there. I'm starting to see practices
24:45
move towards a more holistic approach to where, you know, 1,
24:51
they're actually testing to see what treatments would work best
24:54
for you with some of the technology we talked about
24:56
earlier and mapping out the genes in the DNA and then
25:00
pairing up which medications those are, which ingredients are
25:04
going to help you out from a shampoo standpoint and then
25:08
energy based devices as well. So I think that it's not just a
25:13
one stop shop. It's like having a holistic
25:16
approach and it is really going to again, maximize the outcome.
25:21
So you've got a beautiful man of hair.
25:23
I think that those that are ready to enter into that hair
25:28
restoration category, I mean that's going to going to be
25:31
huge. And I think that the patients
25:33
are looking for that. They're looking for a solution,
25:35
right? And each person needs something
25:37
different. Yeah, the last point on that too
25:39
is overwhelmingly we're seeing the female population.
25:44
I wouldn't have thought this too before I was really diving into
25:49
hair, but it is like 70% of the female population.
25:53
I wouldn't have suspected that. And I think that that's
25:55
fantastic that there's, you know, solutions.
25:58
And that if it's becoming more OK to talk about it, remember,
26:02
like, you know, first it was taboo to talk about Botox, it
26:05
was taboo to talk about HRT. Now everybody's just having
26:08
those conversations and now it's OK to talk about what are you
26:12
doing for hair loss, right? Absolutely.
26:14
That's a good thing when it when we're all comfortable talking
26:16
about it. So when you look at treatments
26:20
that have really defined this industry right over the last
26:24
even 51015 years, we're talking about energy based devices,
26:29
injectables. These are our tried and true
26:31
treatments. What do you think that our
26:34
viewers and listeners can expect to see evolve in those
26:37
categories over the next few years?
26:40
I think there's going to be more choices from an injectable
26:43
standpoint. There continues to be options
26:46
that are coming out. I see a absolute new adoption of
26:52
the biostimulators, so like calcium hydroxyapatite based
26:57
products, PLLA that are stimulating the body's own
27:01
response to collagen elastin. So those are really on the rise
27:05
and that's coming from someone who launched the first HA
27:07
filler. People are focused more on that
27:11
natural look and we've gotten away from sort of that, you
27:15
know, a little overfilled. Maybe they just want to look
27:18
more like themselves and see see the rise of the bio stimulators.
27:22
Energy based device is one of my favorite categories.
27:25
So you've got, you know, the micro focus ultrasound, CO2 is a
27:29
staple. What I see evolving there is
27:32
treatment stacking. We see a lot of boosters post
27:35
treatment. So when you create that perfect
27:39
injury to solicit a healing response, regenerative response,
27:43
you're seeing a lot of practitioners really gravitate
27:46
to some of these products post treatment that optimize the
27:50
result. So I think treatment stocking is
27:53
already here, but it's only going to get better with these
27:56
new choices. And to your point earlier,
27:58
there's really cool things coming out about exosomes and
28:01
that science. It's compelling.
28:03
And I think like combining these treatments is what's really
28:06
going to take everything to the next level, right?
28:10
We're excited for it. So I think that we've really
28:14
covered how aesthetics, longevity are going to be
28:17
married the longer we dive into this.
28:20
And so I think that there's quite a big shift here.
28:23
Something I want to ask you about because it is such a hot
28:26
topic. Where do you see AI fitting into
28:31
this universe that we're creating here?
28:33
It's entered into every category of our lives, including
28:37
aesthetics. How do you see it changing the
28:40
way treatments are customized and delivered to our patients?
28:43
Really, that's the thing that I think most of us are interested
28:47
in. It's completely changing the
28:48
game. It's the future.
28:51
I think that if I look at this from supporting practices, the
28:56
ones that are adopting it now are really going to have an
29:00
edge. And there's so many different
29:02
ways that AI intersects with providing better outcomes for
29:06
patients, providing better service for us when we're
29:09
reaching out to our providers too.
29:11
I can reach out and ask a question to some of these
29:14
clinics and someone's answering when the clinic's not even open
29:18
because they can download that physicians expertise and then
29:21
book me right into the calendar, which is fantastic.
29:24
So AI is here to stay. I kind of joke around with my
29:29
family at home. If you can't, you know, beat the
29:31
robots, control them. Absolutely yes.
29:35
It's really just been one of the most exciting categories.
29:39
I am a big adopter of it, but everything from AI calling where
29:43
you can call and have a conversation and you don't even
29:46
realize that it's AI that's answering all your questions to
29:51
searching for your provider, not necessarily with Google anymore.
29:55
It's some of the AI search engines.
29:56
It's kind of break things down for you, so.
29:58
You're saying like education will be a big part of AI, right?
30:03
And just allowing us to have access to that education and
30:07
convenience, right? Which is what I think that the
30:10
consumer is looking for the most convenient way to access the
30:14
treatments as well as the information.
30:17
A couple of final questions for you before we take you into the
30:20
speed round. What do you think this industry,
30:24
Anthony, will look like 5 years from now that would surprise
30:29
people today? What is your prediction on that?
30:32
I think access to these treatments 5 years from now,
30:36
we're going to need to go more to where the potential consumer
30:42
is. We're going to need to meet them
30:44
where they are. I think you're going to see more
30:46
in home treatments. You see a lot of concierge
30:49
medicine and healthcare providers going to those
30:52
patients. I think there's a convergence
30:55
of, I call this like proximity of interest where if you're
30:58
there for your teeth or your lashes, are you going to see
31:03
aesthetics offered right there. So I think accessibility to the
31:07
treatments are going to be much more prevalent 5 years from now.
31:11
So it's not just going to be when you go to your Med spa down
31:15
the street, you're going to have more access.
31:18
One final question for you, Anthony, at this point in your
31:22
career, you've just launched Pink Sky in the last year and
31:27
it's taken off. What do you care most about
31:31
getting right in this industry, in this moment?
31:35
So as a patient, what's most important to me is getting the
31:39
best outcome and with the highest level of safety.
31:43
So going to an educated provider who is cutting edge, but at the
31:49
same time is very meticulous about what they do before they
31:53
do it. And I, I think that that's the
31:56
most exciting thing for me is that the folks that we work
31:59
with, they're really putting in the work to do research to look
32:03
at innovative things, but they're vetting it out first.
32:07
And I think that this is just going to continue to get more
32:11
people that have not stepped into these two major categories
32:16
excited about trying new things. And again, that goes back to the
32:20
accessibility. It's just going to make these
32:22
things more accessible that are super exciting, but no one's
32:25
ever tried them before. And that's what's most exciting
32:29
to me, is making sure that we're bringing new things to market,
32:32
but in a safe fashion and we're having lots of fun.
32:36
Well, Anthony, thank you for an amazing show.
32:39
We would love to invite you into the speed round.
32:43
As you know, it'll be a series of rapid fire questions and just
32:47
kind of your opinion of in or out.
32:49
Also asking some personal information about Anthony
32:53
because I know that people want to get to know you in the
32:56
industry and know a little bit more about you.
32:59
So if you're OK, we'll just dive in.
33:01
Yeah, let's do it. OK, here we go, Morning person
33:05
or night owl? Both I don't sleep.
33:10
Me either. That's that's why we get along.
33:13
That's a Friday night and Saturday night sleep.
33:15
That's right. That's right.
33:17
Clean desk or chaos? So my desk is a whiteboard, so
33:21
I'm constantly writing on on my desk.
33:24
So it's actually kind of clean, but there's whiteboard notes and
33:27
ideas all over it. That's pretty cool.
33:30
Quick decisions or careful consideration?
33:33
It depends on what it's related to, but I would say I lean
33:36
towards quick decision. How often do you completely
33:39
unplug? Friday night, Saturday night, if
33:43
there's a great soccer match on. Emails before 6:00 AM Yes or no?
33:48
Definitely. You thrive under pressure, true
33:51
or false. True.
33:53
Scale of 1 to 10. How competitive are you?
33:56
10. Do you regret more what you said
34:00
or what you haven't said? What I haven't said.
34:04
Aisle seat or window seat? Definitely the aisle unless it's
34:09
a definitely. If it's a long trip, the aisle.
34:12
Sure you want to know you can get out.
34:14
Exactly. Have you ever googled your own
34:16
name? I have googled my own name and
34:20
boy what a surprise there's a there's like a multi billionaire
34:25
with the same name out of Australia.
34:27
So that's what came up when I googled my name.
34:30
When I googled mine, there's like a famous author with my
34:33
name. So you know you see the funniest
34:35
things when you Google your name.
34:37
How many tabs are open right now on your computer?
34:40
Under 10 or over 20. Is over 30 an answer?
34:45
Yeah, I love it. Are your Airpods always in yes
34:51
or no? No.
34:53
First app you open in the morning.
34:56
X. Would people say you're more
34:58
patient or more intense? Depends on who you ask I would
35:04
say Most people say I'm intense. All right.
35:07
Now let's dive into a few industry questions for you.
35:11
Is medical grade a meaningful label or just marketing?
35:16
I would say it depends on who's bringing medical grade forward.
35:21
It could be very much marketing others.
35:23
I think it's on point, but it depends on where it's coming
35:26
from. The skin care ingredient 1.
35:29
You can name one that you think is worth the hype.
35:32
I would go back to a nicotinamide nucleotide.
35:36
Fat dissolving injections in or out?
35:39
Out. Micro needling in or.
35:42
Out in. Laser resurfacing.
35:46
In. Hair restoration injections in
35:50
energy based skin tightening for the face.
35:53
Depends on which, but I'd say in.
35:56
Non surgical body skin tightening.
35:59
Depends on the modality, but I'll go with in.
36:02
Device based body contouring. Same answer.
36:07
OK at home LED masks. Oh, definitely in.
36:12
Growth Factor. Skin care.
36:15
In I'll give it an in. CO2 laser resurfacing. 100% gold
36:20
standard. Love it.
36:22
It's so funny and I don't mean to interrupt your speed round,
36:25
but I'm finding that there's a divide happening in the road
36:29
right now about CO2. I'm a believer.
36:31
I did for treatment to completely change my skin for
36:35
treatments in four years. However, I'm seeing this new
36:38
movement where people are saying now you don't need to go that
36:41
aggressive, no need. You can do it so much easier
36:45
now. But it's interesting to watch
36:46
the divide. I'm curious where it will land.
36:49
You're absolutely right, it totally depends on who you are,
36:53
what you're trying to accomplish.
36:54
But you could go full ablative or you could do light
36:58
fractional, which is really cool.
37:01
Like that's what I'm most excited about with CO2.
37:03
Radio frequency skin tightening for face and body.
37:07
It depends on which one, but there's a couple that I'm pretty
37:10
excited about. Muscle stimulating, body
37:13
contouring and then also now they have it for the face as
37:16
well. What are your thoughts?
37:17
In or out? It's in.
37:19
Yeah, it's cool. Fat freezing out IV therapy for
37:24
Wellness and longevity. Definitely in.
37:28
And HRT hormone replacement therapy. 100% I think it's
37:32
changing lives. It's great.
37:34
It is, it definitely is. Well, Anthony, we couldn't have
37:37
had a better time with you today.
37:39
Thank you for filling us in on all of these amazing treatments,
37:42
the technology, what you're doing at Pink Sky.
37:45
Is there any final message you'd like to leave our viewers and
37:48
listeners with? I just think it's such an
37:51
exciting time and it's fantastic to be here and now.
37:56
It's like what a time to be alive because you're seeing all
37:58
these cool new things, technology's coming forward and
38:02
you know, it's just an exciting time to be here in the now and
38:06
there's a lot of great things coming forward.
38:08
I just want to thank you too for getting this information out to
38:12
everybody because that's a key piece of this is just getting
38:16
exposure out to like what's there for us as consumers and
38:21
patients. And it's just been a total
38:23
pleasure hanging out with you. So thank you for having me.
38:26
Well, thank you. It's been a great show and
38:28
promise you'll come back and talk about that genetic testing
38:31
with us because that's really exciting.
38:34
We're pumped to put that on the show.
38:35
I would love to 21 all the way down, Doctor Randy.
38:39
I can't wait. I'll share everything.
38:42
So I'm excited to share that with our viewers and listeners.
38:45
