Things I wish I could text every client… with love

(And honestly, a lot of you have probably heard me say them already 🥲🤣)

With flu season starting to pick up, it’s important to plan your appointments around vaccines and illness where possible.

A couple of things I’m reminding my patients of lately:

• Please allow a 2 week interval between vaccinations and cosmetic treatments

• If you’re feeling unwell, feverish or actively sick, please let me know as early as possible so we can reschedule your appointment safely

• Prioritising your health always comes first

Your safety and outcomes are always the priority in clinic 🤍

In honour of international nurses day last week (bit late to the party) I thought I’d be cringe and share some photos of my journey in my nursing career! It feels so surreal looking back at how much I’ve achieved in my career so far - and there’s still so much more to go.

1. Uni! I went to such a great uni and had some amazing placements. I actually knew I wanted to become a cosmetic nurse back then, and was one of the only ones out of hundreds of nursing students.

2. Baby hospital nurse. I worked in 2 big Melbourne hospitals for a couple of years before leaving the hospital setting. I really wanted to get this experience first as I truly think it’s necessary. I learnt SO much during this time and cannot believe how much I grew as a person. During this time I did my first cosmetic injectables training.

3. I began working in dermatology. It opened so many doors for me. Getting a job as a cosmetic nurse is not easy so I thought this could be a way to get my foot in the door. Little did I know I would actually become obsessed with the medical side of dermatology nursing too! My skill set rapidly developed, I became quite senior in my role, took on more cosmetic responsibilities and eventually out grew the clinic I was working at.

4. I had started working with a beautiful cosmetic nurse aswell where I learnt so much. I was so grateful for that role and loved the cosmetic clinic I worked in. I eventually left and had always wanted to open my own business so that’s what I did!

5. My dermatology job allowed me to create some great connections so I now I also work with an amazing dermatologist and nurse practitioner who I’d worked with previously. My role now is mostly cosmetic and laser which I love. I also do some work in another medical dermatology clinic too which is fun! Balancing my own business and the other clinics, but loving the journey 💗🫶🏽

“My skin just feels off.”

I hear this a lot in clinic!

Patients will often say their skin just doesn’t look as fresh as it used to be and most of the time, it’s not something skincare alone can fix.

It’s usually a sign that we need to start thinking about the skin and structure underneath the surface in more depth.

I’ve been working on bringing something new into clinic to add to my treatment options for exactly this, and I can’t wait to share more with you soon 🤍
