Diagnostics and Testing
Volume 10: Issue 3 | June 2026
Welcome to the summer 2026 issue of the ConsultingRoom.com Magazine.
In this issue, we focus on diagnostics and testing. On pages 18-21, Claire Reach discusses what blood biomarkers can reveal about skin health and ageing, while on pages 22-24, Dr Muninder Walia shares the case for test-based nutrition in the medical aesthetics and GP consultation.
On pages 26-28, Prof Bob Khanna discusses why testing matters in supporting earlier detection of oral cancer.
On pages 30-31, Prof Patrick Treacy makes the case that aesthetic medicine is not a menu of procedures but a question of identity – and that the practitioner’s most important instrument is restraint.
For our safety in aesthetics piece this month, Claudia McGloin talks us through the JCCP’s new guidance on PRP (p12).
As well as this, we have the latest industry news (pp8-10), a look at what’s trending (pp6-7) and new products (p46).
We hope you enjoy reading this issue, whether you are taking a summer break or a break in the middle of a busy clinic day.
Our next issue will be focused on “muscle”, and we always welcome contributions for articles.
