If you've been covering up thread veins around your nose with makeup and assuming there's nothing that can really be done, this result might change how you think about that.

Thread veins in this area are incredibly common, particularly for those with fair or rosacea-prone skin, and they tend to become more visible over time as the skin thins and the vessels lose their elasticity.

What makes them so frustrating is that no amount of skincare or colour correction actually addresses the cause; it just masks what's there.

This is a real patient result following IPL treatment for facial thread veins around the nose, and the difference in how clear and even the skin looks afterwards is really significant.

Those visible, branching capillaries have largely cleared, the redness has calmed considerably, and the overall complexion looks so much cleaner and more even as a result.

IPL works by delivering light energy directly into the blood vessels, causing the redness, which causes them to collapse and be naturally cleared by the body over the following weeks.

It's a precise, targeted treatment with no real downtime, and results build progressively with each session as the skin continues to clear.

For patients going through perimenopause and menopause, facial redness and visible vessels often become more pronounced as oestrogen levels shift and the skin becomes more reactive, making this one of the most frequently requested treatments I see in clinic.

The advice I'd give a close friend about their skin is the same advice I give every patient who sits down with me at consultation, and I think it's worth saying out loud because it's not always what people expect to hear.

After years of working in this industry, I've formed some very clear opinions about what actually makes a difference and what doesn't.

This is my honest take on all of it, from where to start and what I'd recommend first, to what I'd tell you to be cautious about and the one habit that underpins everything else 👉🏼

If your skin has been looking dull, flat, and lacking that healthy glow, no matter how consistent you are with your skincare, this is the treatment worth knowing about.

Skinvive isn't a filler; it doesn't add volume or change anything about your face, and that's exactly what makes it so interesting.

It's an injectable skin booster that works by delivering hyaluronic acid just beneath the skin's surface to deeply hydrate and improve overall skin quality from within, and the results are the kind that make people ask what you've had done without being able to put their finger on it.

Skin that looked dull and flat starts to have a natural glow. Fine lines caused by dehydration soften.

The overall texture looks more refined and healthy, and for my patients going through perimenopause and menopause, where that loss of moisture and luminosity can feel sudden, it's become one of the treatments I reach for most consistently.

If you've been managing sun damage with skincare for years and feel like you're maintaining rather than actually improving, there's a very good chance IPL is the missing piece.

It's one of the most underrated treatments we offer, and I think that's largely because people don't think of it first when they're considering how to address sun damage.

They reach for peels, they invest in brightening serums, they try vitamin C religiously, and while all of those things have their place, when the damage is already established beneath the surface, topical ingredients can only take you so far.

What makes IPL so effective is that it works at the level where the damage actually lives. It targets the melanin responsible for brown spots and uneven tone, the blood vessels causing redness and thread veins, and the general dullness that comes from years of accumulated UV exposure, often addressing all of these within the same course of treatment.

The results build progressively and consistently, and patients regularly tell me that people around them have noticed something has changed without being able to identify exactly what.

Facial harmonisation is one of those phrases that gets used a lot in aesthetics, but results like this are a really good example of what it actually means in practice.

This patient came to us with slight dimpling and asymmetry of the chin that were affecting the overall balance of her side profile, something she'd noticed for years but never known how to address.

A small amount of carefully placed filler has softened that dimpling, created a smoother contour along the chin, and brought the whole profile into much better proportion with the rest of the face.

This is exactly the kind of treatment I love, because it's not about changing what someone looks like; it's about refining one small detail that's been affecting how balanced and harmonious their face feels as a whole.

The chin plays a bigger role in facial profile than people often realise, and even a subtle correction here can make a significant difference to how the entire side profile looks.

What I'm most pleased with in this result is how natural it looks. There's no sense that anything has been added or changed; it looks like a smoother, more refined version of what was already there.

If you feel like you're doing everything right for your pigmentation and still not seeing the improvement you're hoping for, there's a good chance one of three very common habits is working against you without you even realising it.

It's something I see constantly in clinic. Patients who are consistent, who are using decent products, who care about their skin, but who are unknowingly undoing their own progress through a handful of small habits.

Once pigmentation has properly established itself in the skin, these habits become even more important to address because at that point, skincare alone often isn't enough to clear it.

This is exactly where IPL becomes such a valuable tool, working at the level where the pigment actually sits rather than just trying to manage it from the surface.

These are three habits that are most likely to be holding your skin back, why IPL is often the missing piece, and how we build a long-term plan that actually keeps pigmentation under control once it's been cleared 👉🏼

Got a mole you're concerned about? It's now easier than ever to get it checked!

Summer is when skin gets the most exposure and the most attention, so it tends to be the time of year people start noticing things they hadn't paid much mind to before. A mole that looks different to how it did last year, one that's changed shape or colour, something new that's appeared, or a patch of skin that simply doesn't feel right. The honest answer to when you should get something checked is as soon as it crosses your mind, because the vast majority of what we see turns out to be completely harmless, and the reassurance alone is worth it. For the small number of cases where it isn't, early is everything.

That's why we've partnered with the DermoSight platform, giving our clients access to specialist dermatology assessment without the long wait that usually comes with it. Your mole, lesion or skin concern is imaged, reviewed and analysed by a dermatologist, and we aim to have your report back with you within seven days.

If something has been on your mind, don't wait for it to change further. Comment MOLE or send us a DM and we'll talk you through how the service works, or head to the link in our bio to book your screening 💌

Skin laxity is one of the most common concerns I see in clinic, and also one of the most misunderstood, because what actually works depends entirely on what's causing it and how far it's progressed.

The approach needed for mild softening of the jawline is completely different from what's needed for more significant structural change, and getting that wrong is one of the most common reasons people feel like their treatments haven't delivered. For so many of my patients going through perimenopause and menopause, oestrogen decline accelerates that loss of firmness quite suddenly, which is exactly why this conversation comes up so often.

Treatments like Profhilo Structura, HArmonyCa, and polynucleotides can make a real difference for the right kind of laxity, but results take time to develop properly and understanding that from the outset is everything.
