Episode 145 hosts Caitlin King, a Registered Nurse from Melbourne, Australia.

Caitlin has background in acute and perioperative nursing. She completed a Bachelor of Nursing, Post Graduate degree and is currently completing a Masters Degree in Nursing. She continues to works part-time in the operating theatre of one of Sydney's largest hospitals whilst also injecting part-time under the business name, 'Plump Me'.

Caitlin joins us in our 1st Chapter of a new mini-series called 'The Injector Diaries'. These episodes will feature in depth conversations, stories and experiences from injectors around the globe. Each injector brings their own unique take on things and we'll showcase every level of injector, from newbies to masters. We'll explore how and why they chose to inject, why they favour using certain products, look under the hoods of their clinics and businesses and aim to learn from and inspire our injector listeners.

In this episode, we discuss:

- How we chose Caitlin as our first guest

- Caitlin's journey into facial aesthetics and how her career in peri-operative nursing has helped

- Caitlin's thoughts on nurses who go straight from their degree into injecting

- How she trained and what she think the ideal training of an injector looks like

- What a chain clinic is and what it's like for an injector to work in this type of business model

- The pro's and con's of working in a high volume chain clinic as a new injector

- What types of types patients come to her and what they want

- Why she's looking to branch out on her own under her own brand, 'Plump Me' 

- What the best injectables training event she ever attended was

- How she likes to approach social media to advertise her injectables business

- Why she uses TikTok for her social media and how this differs to using Instagram

- Being part of the injecting community online and how injectors can positively inspire each other

 

Every week our Injector Diaries guest will also be asked the same key (rapid fire!) questions:

-What's your favourite toxin and why

-What's your favourite filler and why

-What's your go-to cannula make and size?

-Share their top tips and tricks to enhance their patients experience
