• Expert consensus on when to start treatment during the weight-loss journey and how to package care with share-of-wallet in mind;
• Launching a direct-to-consumer campaign that reframes filler language for patient confidence;
• Provider tools: in-office pamphlets and digital assets to bring up aesthetics earlier in the patient journey;
