Section 03 · Knowledge Base / FAQ

Answers to the questions we hear every single week.

If you're evaluating BOA - or just trying to grow a practice in 2026 - start here. Pick a category to jump to relevant questions.

What is Business of Aesthetics, exactly?
Business of Aesthetics is a modern platform that brings together leaders in Dermatology, Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics. It combines a weekly podcast, live expert panels, in-person events and a marketing services arm (MSM) so practitioners can learn, connect and grow - all in one place.
Who is BOA built for?
Independent practice owners, partners and senior leaders in dermatology, plastic surgery and medical aesthetics who want candid business conversations - not sales pitches disguised as education.
Is it free to access the content?
Yes. The podcast, blog library, tools and most webinars are completely free. Certain premium workshops and strategy meetings with our advisors have their own access rules, but the core learning platform is open.
How often does the podcast release new episodes?
The Business of Aesthetics podcast drops weekly, typically on Tuesday mornings. You'll find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and right here on our site.
Can I suggest a topic or a guest?
Absolutely. Use the Speakers page to submit a pitch for yourself or a colleague. We read every submission and respond to everyone, usually within 7 business days.
What's the difference between Events and Panels?
Events are our scheduled live webinars and workshops on a specific topic. Panels are recurring moderated roundtables where 3–5 experts debate a strategic question in real time. Both are free to attend and are recorded for members who can't attend live.
Are events recorded?
Yes. Every live event is recorded and posted inside the Events archive within 48 hours, usually with timestamps and a downloadable summary.
What is a Marketing Strategy Meeting (MSM)?
A complimentary 60-minute video conversation with a senior advisor. You walk away with a clear, custom growth plan - covering SEO, social, reputation and web - built specifically for your market and specialty. No pressure, no pitch.
Do I have to be an Ekwa or MSM client to participate?
Not at all. The content, events and community are completely independent of our marketing services. Plenty of our audience will never become clients - and that's entirely the point.
What services does MSM actually cover?
Search engine optimization, paid search, social media management, web design and development, reputation management and strategic content - all tailored specifically to aesthetic and dermatology practices.
How do I reset my account password?
Use the "Forgot password" link on the sign-in screen. If you don't receive the reset email within 5 minutes, check spam, then contact us at ideas@businessofaesthetics.org and we'll help personally.
How is my data handled?
We never sell data. See our Privacy Policy for the full breakdown of what we collect, why, and how long we keep it.
How do I apply to speak on the podcast or at an event?
Head to the Speakers page and fill out the short application. Tell us about your practice, the topic you're excited to share, and a few recent talks or articles if you have them. Our producer responds within a week.
Do you compensate podcast guests?
No. Our guests join for the exposure, the network and the conversation - and we make sure every appearance is produced, packaged and promoted at a high standard so it's genuinely valuable for them.
