Facelifts are having a moment. More patients are asking about them, and they're more mainstream than ever.

But let's clear something important up: a facelift will never improve the quality of your skin.

What it does is lift and reposition sagging tissue and remove excess skin. It doesn't change the skin itself. Pigmentation, texture, fine lines, dullness, and current collagen/elastin levels all come along for the ride, just sitting a little higher.

Skin quality is built by what you do every day:

→ A consistent, evidence-based skincare routine
→ Daily SPF. Sun damage is the biggest driver of skin ageing
→ Certain laser devices, backed by skin biopsy studies to stimulate new collagen and elastin

Structure and skin quality are two different problems, and they need two different solutions. Even the best facelift looks better on healthy skin.

Want to know where your skin is at? Book a skin consultation and let's talk honestly about what it actually needs right now.

I see it all the time > People want to jump straight to the big treatment, the intensive procedure, the thing that promises the most dramatic change.

But after years in aesthetics, I know how much can change when the basics are done properly.

A well-chosen clinical skincare routine can change the way skin behaves, how it responds to treatment and how well it maintains those results. It can improve the foundation we’re working with every single day, not just on the days you’re in the clinic.

And it doesn’t need to be complicated. When someone comes in for a skin consultation, my priority is working out what your skin actually needs, then building a routine that is simple enough to follow consistently and targeted enough to make a meaningful difference.

Get the foundation right first. Then we can talk about what comes next - if it's still needed.

If you’ve been wondering what’s been going on behind the doors at Novaes…

We’ve been very busy.

Our clinic has been undergoing a significant transformation, and we’ve deliberately kept things under wraps while it all came together.

We wanted to get every detail right, and then see your reaction for ourselves.

We’re nearly ready to welcome you to Novaes 2.0, and there’s a special event coming very soon to celebrate.

We cannot wait to show you what we’ve been working so hard on.

Chris, Tom, and the Novaes team.

Want more collagen?

Stop buying supplements, and start stimulating it for real.

Because there’s no evidence that collagen gummies are going to magically rebuild your skin.

If you want real, visible collagen regeneration, you need to stimulate your skin on a cellular level, deep within the layers where collagen is produced.

That’s why we turn to advanced laser technolog. By creating controlled micro-injuries and delivering targeted heat deep into the skin, it triggers your body’s natural production of collagen + elastin, while encouraging the skin to remodel from within.

This is important because collagen provides the scaffolding that keeps skin firm, while elastin gives it the ability to stretch, snap back, and stay resilient.

Don’t take collagen. Induce it.

Perception drift is a monumentally important conversation in aesthetics in 2026.

Cosmetic treatments are more accessible, more visible and more normalised than ever. Something that once felt like a significant decision can now be booked as easily as a haircut, sometimes even squeezed into a lunch break.

And that’s where things can become complicated. When small changes are made repeatedly, your perception of your own face can shift. You can become accustomed to a level of treatment that, objectively, may have already gone beyond what was needed.

But perception drift isn’t something that happens only to patients. I have seen it countless times among fellow practitioners, too.

We work in an industry where we are constantly looking at faces, analysing symmetry, assessing lines and noticing tiny changes. It's easy to lose sight of the bigger picture.

This is why good aesthetic practice requires more than knowing how to inject. It requires knowing when to STOP, or even reverse.

Sometimes the most appropriate treatment is less treatment. Sometimes it is waiting. And sometimes it is telling someone, honestly, that they don't need anything at all.

That conversation is a key part of my job.

If you're looking for a team you can trust to have that conversation with you, rather than simply sell you another treatment, I welcome you to visit
