Think this industry is polished, sterile, and by-the-book? Think again. In this episode of Behind the Dirty Needle, we’re sharing the most jaw-dropping, unsafe, and flat-out unbelievable things we’ve personally witnessed in the world of med spas—from injectors watching YouTube tutorials moments before treating patients, to liposuction happening in med spas.

We expose the ugly truths behind:

• Dangerous off-label injection techniques

• Overfilled clients and deceptive before-and-after photos

• “Master injectors” with a single weekend of training

• Dirty glove protocols

• Ghost medical directors with zero oversight

• And the toxic power dynamics that silence good injectors

If you’ve ever wondered how is this legal?, this one’s for you.

Think you’re making informed choices at the med spa? Think again. In this episode of Behind the Dirty Needle, we expose the biggest lies the aesthetics industry uses to keep you spending—without you even realizing it. From the misleading promise of “Baby Botox” to the myth of Botox resistance and the truth about filler migration, we break down the sneaky marketing tactics that prioritize profits over your results.

We also call out fake urgency sales strategies and explain how to protect yourself from pressure-filled consults and shady injectors who care more about quotas than your face.

If you’ve ever been told “this deal won’t last” or felt confused by conflicting treatment advice, this episode will give you the clarity (and confidence) you need to spot the red flags—and say no.

In this episode of Behind the Dirty Needle, we’re pulling back the curtain on the competitive—and often toxic—culture driving unethical behavior in the aesthetics world. From fake Google reviews and Facetuned before-and-afters to injectors pressured into over-treating for commissions, we expose how med spas manipulate public perception to chase profits.

We also dive into the dark side of internal industry politics: retaliatory non-competes, lawsuits, and the high-turnover, drama-filled environment injectors face behind the scenes. If you thought aesthetics was all about beauty, think again—this is business, and it’s brutal.

Whether you’re a consumer trying to protect yourself or an injector navigating a toxic workplace, this episode is a must-listen.
