Summer breakouts hitting different this year? You’re not imagining it. ☀️⁣
⁣
Three things quietly sabotaging your skin right now:⁣
🔸 Heavy sunscreen + sweat = clogged pores. The fix? A non-comedogenic, lightweight SPF formulated for acne-prone skin.⁣
🔸 Over-washing after workouts. Stripping your barrier triggers MORE oil production. Gentle cleanse, don’t scrub.⁣
🔸 Skipping treatment because “it’ll clear up on its own.” Spoiler: hormonal and inflammatory acne rarely does. Early intervention = less scarring, faster results.⁣
⁣
Here’s the truth - generic advice from the internet can only take you so far. Your skin is unique, and your treatment plan should be too.⁣
⁣
💬 Tell us in the comments: what’s the ONE acne myth you wish someone had busted for you sooner? We’ll reply to every single one.⁣
Or skip the guesswork and book a consultation with our team through the link in bio. Let’s build a plan that actually works for your skin.⁣

Meet Kyesha - our holistic aesthetician, and one of the reasons our patients keep coming back. 🌿

Kye has built her career around treating multicultural skin - the kind of expertise that’s far too rare, and exactly what so many of our patients have been searching for.
Because the truth is, not all skin responds the same way. Deeper skin tones, mixed heritage, melanin-rich complexions - they require a specific knowledge of how skin reacts, how it pigments, how it heals. Kye has spent years developing that knowledge, and it shows in every treatment she delivers.

Her areas of deep expertise:
✨ Acne: From persistent hormonal breakouts to inflammatory acne and the post-acne marks that linger long after, Kye builds treatment plans rooted in long-term skin health, not quick fixes that cause more harm than good.
✨ Pigmentation: Melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, sun damage, uneven tone. This is some of the most nuanced work in skincare, especially for richer skin tones and it’s where Kye truly shines.
✨ Rejuvenation Therapies: Treatments designed to restore radiance, smooth texture, and bring your skin back to its healthiest, most luminous version of itself.

What makes her holistic is how she works. Kye doesn’t just look at the spot or the patch - she looks at you. Your routine, your stress, your hormones, your lifestyle. Because lasting skin results come from treating the whole picture.

If you’ve ever felt unseen by skincare advice that wasn’t built for your skin - Kye is the practitioner you’ve been waiting for. 💛

The mirror moment we live for. ⁣
⁣
When Ava* first came to us, she told us she’d stopped taking photos. Stopped going out without makeup. Stopped believing her skin could change.⁣
⁣
12 weeks later? She’s the one asking us to take the “after” photo.⁣
⁣
This isn’t about perfect skin. It’s about getting your confidence back - just in time for patio season, weddings, and every unfiltered moment summer’s about to bring.⁣
⁣
Acne is nuanced and many factors impact how your skin looks and feels. It deserves a multi-tiered and customized approach. Our team builds a plan around your skin combining clinical treatments, medical-grade care, and a routine that actually fits your life.⁣

The quiet flex of microneedling? Reaching for less foundation. ⁣
⁣
Our clients tell us all the time: “I don’t even feel like I need to wear as much makeup.”⁣
⁣
That’s not marketing. That’s collagen doing its job - refining your texture, evening your tone, and giving your skin that lit-from-within quality that no product can quite replicate.⁣
⁣
The bare-faced confidence is honestly the best part. ⁣
⁣

⁣

You know that moment, a few weeks after a treatment, when you catch your reflection and actually pause?⁣
⁣
Not because anything dramatic happened. But because your skin looks…refreshed. Smoother. More glowy. Like it’s been sleeping well and drinking water and living its best life.⁣
⁣
That’s the microneedling moment. ⁣
And once you’ve had it, you’ll keep coming back for it.⁣
⁣
25% off select treatments all May.

Spoiler alert: the Aerolase Neo Elite isn’t just a “face thing.” ⁣
⁣
This before & after? ⁣
A leg wound - and proof that what this laser can do extends far beyond skincare goals.⁣
⁣
Here’s the part most people don’t realize: the same 650-microsecond technology that treats acne, redness, and pigmentation on the face can also accelerate healing across the body. By delivering gentle, deeply-penetrating laser energy, the Neo Elite:⁣
🩹 Stimulates collagen production for stronger, healthier tissue repair⁣
🌿 Reduces inflammation and supports the skin’s natural healing response⁣
💫 Improves the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and discolouration⁣
🛡️ Targets bacteria to support cleaner healing in compromised skin⁣
🧬 Encourages cellular regeneration - meaning faster, smoother recovery⁣
And because it’s safe for all skin tones and Fitzpatrick types, it’s a treatment we can confidently offer to almost anyone.⁣
⁣
Some of the lesser-known concerns we treat with Aerolase Neo Elite at Connected:⁣
✅ Wounds & post-surgical scars⁣
✅ Stretch marks (new and old)⁣
✅ Keloids & hypertrophic scars⁣
✅ Bruising & vascular concerns⁣
✅ Body acne & folliculitis⁣
✅ Skin laxity on arms, knees, and abdomen⁣
⁣
If you’ve been told “there’s nothing we can do” about a scar, stretch mark, or stubborn area - we’d love to be your second opinion. ⁣

Ask any bride what she wants on her wedding day, and somewhere on the list is “skin that looks like me, but better.” No filter. No heavy makeup. Just a real, lit-from-within glow.⁣
⁣
That’s exactly why microneedling is one of our favourite wedding prep treatments. 💍⁣
⁣
Here’s why it works so beautifully for brides (and grooms, and wedding parties):⁣
✨ It refines, doesn’t transform. You’ll still look like you - just smoother, brighter, more even.⁣
✨ It builds collagen for the long haul. Results keep improving for weeks, peaking right when you need them.⁣
✨ It makes your makeup sit better. Smoother texture means foundation glides instead of clinging.⁣
✨ It works on the things photos love to highlight - pores, fine lines, dullness, uneven tone.⁣
⁣
The sweet spot? A series of 2-3 treatments, starting 2-3 months before the big day, with your final session 3 weeks before the big day. That timeline gives your skin time to settle, glow, and be camera-ready.⁣
⁣
May is the perfect month to start and right now, it’s 25% off. ✨⁣
