Summary

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Tom Terranova to explore a side of aesthetic medicine that patients rarely see—but that ultimately determines their safety: infrastructure.

Hey guys, real quick, have you checked out Droplet? It is by far the most revolutionary

0:03.6

skincare device on the market. Basically, it takes those harder to penetrate ingredients and pushes them deeper into the skin layers. They're actually getting to the cells that can utilize those ingredients. Recently, they just launched their Exxone Serum Mist, which is a phenomenal product because it's using real exosomes that are shipped to you on ice, so you don't have to worry about them being degraded by the time you use them.

And so when you put the capsule of exosomes into your droplet device,

0:23.9

it creates a fine mist. That mist is allowing those exomes to be pushed into the layers where they're going to actually be able to interact with the cells that can use them for signaling. If you want to check out the device, go to droplet.io, use our code Anarchy, A-N-A-R-C-H-Y, to get a very special

droplet device duo hi guys welcome back to skin anarchy this is a very very special episode we're

going to be diving into the safety side of aesthetic medicine and trying to understand like

0:50.1

all the things that happen behind the scenes that we don't really think about as patients

0:53.5

when we're going into a med spa or a doctor's office or a surgeon's office. And a lot of it has to do with like the safety that you experience during a procedure and like where you're getting that procedure done. So without me ranting too much, I would love to introduce our guest today. Tom Taranova, who is here as the CEO of Quad A. Welcome, Tom. I'm so excited

1:11.2

to host you and learn from you today. Thank you so much. I'm happy to be here and to be talking to your audience. Yeah, I'm really excited to dive in because what you guys are doing with QuadA is so, so important. And I think that especially like patients, we don't get to hear about it. You know, I think a lot of times doctors know about these things behind the scenes, you know, even med spot owners out there, anyone listening. You guys might know about this, but it's very important to educate. So I'd love for you to kind of take us down like the whole route and tell us about quad A and tell us about the whole initiative so that we understand like why this is important. Yeah, sure. I'll do my best to keep it brief, so it's

digestible for people, but it's obviously I'm very passionate about our mission. It's why I left practicing a lot to come back to KWNA, because I think it was very fulfilling, and so it's something I get a little bit wrapped up in, and I can tend to go on and on, but I'll try to keep it succinct. But briefly, just kind of what you said, I couldn't agree more. I think

healthcare does a really good... to go on and on, but I'll try to keep it succinct. But briefly, just kind of what you said, I couldn't agree more.

2:03.2

I think healthcare does a really good job of being conscientious internally,

2:07.8

speaking to peers, speaking to colleagues, and speaking within the industry to kind of talk

2:12.6

about quality, safety, all these various initiatives that really, I think, are behind

2:17.4

avail for the average patient. I think, are behind a veil for the average

2:18.8

patient. I think there's a lot of implicit trust in healthcare, and that's good. That's a good

2:23.2

thing to some extent. But also, as patients try to take on more advocacy roles for themselves,

2:28.4

and as patients try to enact their voice a little bit more, especially in areas like aesthetics,

where it is patient-driven.
