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.

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.

"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.
