This is what your clients are reading. Are you keeping up?

Today's clients are doing their homework. They're reading Reddit threads, watching TikToks, and diving into discussions about HA injectables, microneedling, GHK-Cu peptides.

One common online recommendation I have been seeing a lot of lately is purchasing and injecting liquid PCL at home.

PCL (polycaprolactone) is a biodegradable collagen-stimulating polymer used in certain medical aesthetic injectables. Unlike hyaluronic acid, which primarily adds immediate volume, PCL acts as a biostimulator, encouraging the body to produce new collagen over time. When used appropriately by trained medical professionals, it can provide gradual, longer-lasting results.

Beyond the obvious safety concerns of self-injecting, these products raise important questions about sterility, product quality, anatomy, dosing, and complication management. There are people in comment sections talking about going into anaphylactic shock when taking their second dose of PCL.

Whether you perform injectable procedures or not, your clients may still ask you about them. Are we staying as informed as the internet?

This Reddit discussion caught our attention this week. Give it a read and join the conversation.
