We hear this all the time...

Under the eyes, filler can look wonderful in the mirror that day but not so wonderful six months from now.

The skin there is thin, which makes it easy to see an instant improvement but also... the skin there is thin, which means Filler can become more and more obvious as the surrounding skin ages.

We prefer to avoid using dermal filler under the eyes for that reason. Not because we don’t trust it as a treatment, just because we think there are better options for this particular spot.

We’ve been working on something new. More soon.

I say this a lot. I’m not here to talk you into a treatment, a product, or booking an appointment. I’m here to ensure that you understand what’s actually happening in your skin, what your options are and what each one really involves, before you decide anything.

Your skin, your body, your choice. Always.

My role, as your RN, is to provide the clinical piece: the anatomy, the evidence, the realistic expectations. What you do with that information is entirely yours to decide.

You’re allowed to ask questions. You’re allowed to say not yet. You’re allowed to change your mind.

No pressure. No pushing. No selling. My job is to give you enough knowledge that whatever you choose, you’re choosing it with the right information.

An assessment should leave you feeling clearer, not pressured.

It’s not as simple as ordering a product and adding it to the menu.

As Registered Nurses, we’re accountable to CRNA practice standards which means any new treatment we bring into Skinjections goes through a proper process first: manufacturer training, hands-on practice, and a period of building clinical experience before we offer it broadly.

Right now, we’re in that stage with NaturaGel, an autologous filler alternative we’re training with for higher-risk areas and patients who prefer something derived from their own body rather than a synthetic product.

We’re opening a small number of spots for patients to be part of this training process. This isn’t a shortcut around assessment, you’ll go through the same clinical evaluation as any other patient to determine if you’re a good candidate. In exchange for a reduced cost, we’ll be documenting your results (with consent) as part of building our experience with this treatment.

If that sounds like you, send us a message. We’ll walk you through what’s involved.

Spots are limited and based on clinical suitability, not first-come-first-served.

For the last few months, something’s been happening behind the scenes at Skinjections.

Before we bring anything new into the clinic, it goes through months of research, supplier vetting, and hands-on training, long before a single client ever hears about it.

We don’t add treatments because they’re trending. We add them because they solve a real problem for real skin, and because we can stand behind the safety data.

This week, we’ll start sharing what that process has looked like, and what’s coming next.

If you have melasma and a day in the sun flares your skin, this might be what you’re missing ☀️

Visible light, the part of the sun’s spectrum you can actually see, can cause pigmentation to worsen in melasma-prone skin and standard sunscreens, whether chemical or mineral, don’t filter it. If you’re prone to melasma, this is a gap that’s worth knowing about.

The ingredient that fills that gap is iron oxide. This is what makes a sunscreen tinted, and it’s what blocks visible light from reaching the skin. The tint isn’t just cosmetic, it’s serving a purpose.

The Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology backs this up, and it’s the kind of evidence we build our recommendations on at Skinjections.

If this is new information, you’re not alone. I’m always reading and researching and this was new information to me too. Now that I have the evidence, I can build it into my practice and recommendations for clients who struggle with melasma. There’s always something new to learn about skin and skincare!

Booking somewhere new takes courage. I get it, I’ve felt that way too.

You’re sitting down with a complete stranger, talking about things you probably don’t say out loud very often. I don’t take that lightly.

I want you to feel at ease from the moment you walk in. My job isn’t to tell you what’s wrong. It’s to listen, ask the right questions, and help you figure out what’s going on with your skin.

These are the five things I wish every new client knew before their first visit. Save this one before you book.
