I Was Featured on the “Conversations with Dental Friends” Podcast
A deep dive into safety, natural aesthetics, and the future of injectables
Why I Was Invited Onto the Podcast
I’m delighted to share that I was recently featured on the Conversations with Dental Friends podcast — now available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. This episode explores my professional journey from dentistry into medical aesthetics, my MSc in Aesthetic Medicine, and the philosophy behind the natural, confidence-first approach at Dr Janice Brown Aesthetics & Skin, Hillsborough.

The Heart of the Episode: Safety in Aesthetics
One of the most important discussions in the podcast revolves around patient safety, particularly as injectable treatments become more common.
As a dentist-led aesthetic clinic with 15 years’ injecting experience, I believe education and safe practice must always come before trends or quick fixes. We covered topics such as:
Why Training and Experience Matter
Understanding facial anatomy, ageing patterns, and complication management is essential when delivering injectable or regenerative treatments.
This forms the foundation of every procedure at my clinic — whether it’s anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, Sculptra, polynucleotides, PRP/iPRF, skin boosters, or Tixel.
Natural Results: Subtle, Balanced, and Age-Appropriate
Another key theme in the podcast is my commitment to helping patients look refreshed — not different.
We talk about:
- The rise in requests for natural, undetectable enhancement
- Common fears around “looking done”
- Why good aesthetic work should blend rather than announce itself
This ties closely to treatments such as:
- Collagen-stimulating treatments like Sculptra
- Hydration-focused treatments like Profhilo
- Regenerative injectables such as polynucleotides
- Combination therapy plans for long-term ageing support
The Future of Aesthetic Medicine in Northern Ireland
We also discussed how the aesthetics landscape is shifting — with more people seeking safe, regulated, medically-led clinics.
Why Consumers Are Becoming More Safety-Aware
Stories on social media, increased awareness of complications, and the rise of unregulated practice in the UK mean that patients want reassurance from qualified clinicians.
During the episode, I share how my clinic prioritises:
- Medical-grade consultation and assessment
- Honest conversations about suitability
- Conservative treatment planning
- Long-term skin and ageing strategies
- Aftercare and follow-up support
