His practice currently uses YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, RealSelf.com, Yelp, and Tic-Tok.

“I think the social part needs to be part-marketing, part-education, part-personal,” said Dr. Emer, “so that people can really understand you from all levels. Find out your philosophy and promote it, your brand, and the thing that makes you unique, so people can learn about that.”

“It’s [the aesthetics industry] a little more like the wild West right now,” said Jason Emer. “We’re trying to promote expertise and skill. It’s harder for a consumer, because the area is flooded with people saying their own opinions which are not always medical opinions, to truly know what’s right, what’s real, what’s good, and what’s not, unless they have a trusting doctor.”  

“Eventually, it’s going to be so instantaneous. You’ll be walking down the street, and all of these platforms are going to know it. They’re going to influence you with general content or before-and-afters. As you’re walking, your phone might signal to you, ‘We know you got lip filler two weeks ago. Why don’t you take a look at Dr. X over here? She’s doing it live right now,’ and [a live feed of the procedure] will come to you instantly.”

“That’s why social media should be viewed as less of a commodity and more about expertise, trust, and education.”
