Michelle Ogden Aesthetics

It's a common theme for all of us
Watching tik tok, advertising on social media , TV whatever it is
Thinking it will solve a skin issue , ageing , rosacea , lines and wrinkles
So we buy it..

I'm not here to be a fun sponge
But really, if you plan skincare ,find out what your individual skin issues are then you can target what skin products will work best
Ultimately you will spend less
Happy times!

Remember we are all ageing
One way or another out faces will show that
What we can do if we want to is help the ageing slow down a little, a huge part of ageing is glycation

Glycation happens to us all
It's part of the natural ageing process
It happens when sugar binds to collagen and elastin, making them stiff and less flexible.
This can lead to fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness as skin matures.
Skin becomes dull, leathery in texture as skin loses it flexibility
Environmental factors play a part in Oxidative stress throughout our body and on our face .

We can slow this process down , there's things we can do to help minimise these changes
DM if this is something that interests you

Skin changes , changes in your face
Then there's the physical stuff we are dealing with
Changing relationships
Caring roles
Working , not working
Health issues
It's all going on with hormonal and menopausal life!

So for me it's about cutting though the BS
Talking honestly about skin care that can help
Treatments that may address your specific concerns
No unrealistic claims
Fresh, natural and working with you in your life
That's what I'm all about

If that sounds like something that could work for you
DM me or book online through my link
Or online, look for Michelle Ogden aesthetics

We challenge this stereotype
We honestly don't need to have treatments
We are all so different in our approach to ageing and getting older and let's leave it there

If you want treatments, skincare to make you feel a little more confident, better in yourself then do it , for you

Keep your skincare easy , within your budget
Seek out good medical practitioners if you would like advice on treatments
Wear whatever you like
Make good choices in what you eat and how you keep healthy

We didn't just suddenly become older..it's happening to everyone
We are so lucky

The NHS doesn't remove these skin lesions any longer
I do offer this using my magic cryotherapy device
For the lesions I have specified

Obviously a full consultation is needed
And a recent medical history

Larger lesions may take slightly longer to go but that would be discussed in the clinic with you
No wound , no pain, no downtime

If you have any questions just DM
Or you can book an appointment online via my booking link

Menopause , weather, sun , age, whatever the reason
Dehydrated skin needs help
Nothing flash
Just looking at your cleanser first
Step away from the drying , aggressive foaming types
Look for nourishing creams,oils or milk type cleansers that lend themselves really well to this type of skin

Serums are a go to
And if course a good moisturizer, not tons ,allow it time to sink in
Remember, if you are make up free then you can reapply moisturizer throughout the day

It may not be forever, it may just need that TLC
But listen to your skin
And if it's dry/dehydrated then check out all your skincare
Make sure it's right for you

Maybe pop in to see me for a skin analysis
Or a chat.

That's the thing
It's normal, let's get that straight
We may want to look fresher, brighter ..whatever
But let's normalise menopause, ageing and enjoy it

There are so many ways to help freshen your skin
Boost hydration
Increase skin cell turnover
There's always filler if that's on your want list
Or toxin ,again if that's something you would consider

That's where a great medical practitioner can help
With experience and expertise they can guide you
Discuss what won't work for you , what could work etc
And together you build a skin plan that suits your needs ( and budget)

It's never just one thing

That's why a good initial consultation is key
My first meeting with any new patient is all about this , getting to know them and individual concerns

For my new followers

Look I can't be good at everything!😏
I'm making my room even better , shelves, storage pictures ....who knows what will be next

Anyone got any thoughts...do I need to measure or can I just hang them wherever
