We’re proud to announce the formation of Moxie’s first-ever Clinical Advisory Board. Composed of Dr. Sheila Barbarino and Dr. David Saadat, both industry-leading experts and key opinion leaders (KOLs) in aesthetic medicine, this advisory board was built to provide strategic guidance to the network of 250+ independent medspas we support.
Aesthetic medicine is a unique blend of healthcare and business, where innovation, patient safety, and profitability all intersect. To successfully navigate this complex landscape, it’s crucial to draw on the expertise of seasoned professionals who have seen it all—from clinical breakthroughs to the ups and downs of business ownership. That’s where an advisory board of industry experts becomes invaluable.
