Kington Aesthetics

Good aftercare is part of good treatment🤍
At Kington Aesthetics, your appointment doesn’t end when you leave the clinic.

After treatment, I provide clear guidance on what to expect, what to avoid and how best to support your results. Depending on the treatment, that may include advice around skincare, exercise, swimming, sun exposure and when to resume your normal routine.

I also offer follow-up reviews, because checking how you are responding, answering questions and making sure everything has settled as expected is an important part of safe, thoughtful care.

For me, aesthetics should never feel like a one-off transaction.

It should feel personal, considered and supported from consultation through to aftercare.

That means:
✨Clear aftercare advice
✨Ongoing support if you need it
✨Follow-up reviews
✨Tailored guidance for your treatment and skin

A long-term approach to natural-looking results

If you’re new to aesthetics, that extra reassurance can make a huge difference.

PROFHILO® — what is it, and what can it actually do for your skin?

Profhilo is a skin remodelling treatment designed to improve skin hydration, firmness and overall quality.

Unlike traditional dermal fillers, it isn’t used to add volume or change the shape of the face. Instead, Profhilo works within the skin to support hydration and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.

It can be particularly useful when the skin is beginning to feel:
• drier or less hydrated
• less firm or elastic
• crepey or thinner in appearance
• generally less smooth and radiant

In this carousel, I’ve explained a little more about how Profhilo works, what you can expect from treatment and who it may be suitable for.

As with all injectable treatments at Kington Aesthetics, I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Your skin, medical history and what you actually want to achieve are all considered before recommending a treatment.

If you’re wondering whether Profhilo could be right for your skin, we can talk it through together at your consultation.

NOON CHEMICAL PEELS 🍃
What do they actually do?

Chemical peels aren’t just about “peeling” the skin.

A professionally selected peel can help to renew, brighten and improve the quality of the skin and NOON Aesthetics™ has been designed to achieve this with less irritation and downtime than you might traditionally associate with a chemical peel.

✨ What can they help with?

• Sun damage & uneven skin tone
• Pigmentation
• Dull, tired-looking skin
• Congestion & blemishes
• Uneven texture
• Fine lines
• Overall skin quality and radiance

☀️ Why consider one after summer?

UV exposure can leave skin dehydrated, dull and more uneven in tone, with pigmentation often becoming more noticeable.

Autumn is a great time to reassess your skin and focus on renewal and repair.

🧪 What makes NOON different?

NOON uses its patented DermShield™ technology, designed to reduce the inflammatory response associated with chemical peels.

This means you can have a results-focused peel with minimal downtime, rather than necessarily needing to hide away afterwards!

You may still experience some temporary redness, dryness or peeling depending on the protocol and your individual skin, but this is very different from the prolonged downtime traditionally associated with stronger peels.

How often?

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer.

Your skin, the concern we’re treating and the specific NOON protocol will determine whether a single treatment or a course is appropriate.

And this is where I think education matters.

As a Registered Advanced Nurse Practitioner and Independent Prescriber, I assess your skin alongside your medical history, medications and goals, and explain the options so you can make an informed decision.

Sometimes that means a peel.

Sometimes it means skincare.

And sometimes it means doing nothing yet.

You don’t need to know what treatment you need before you book a consultation.

Keeping my clinical knowledge and skills up to date 🏥

Yesterday I completed my Immediate Life Support (ILS) training, refreshing my knowledge and practising the practical skills needed to respond to a deteriorating patient or emergency.

As a Registered Advanced Nurse Practitioner, continuing education is an important part of my practice. Clinical knowledge and guidance continue to evolve, and practical skills need to be regularly refreshed and practised, they are not something you learn once and assume will always be there when you need them.

Although serious emergencies are thankfully uncommon in aesthetic practice, I believe being prepared for the unexpected is an important part of keeping my clients safe.

My clinical background, ongoing training and commitment to safe practice are something I bring with me to every appointment at Kington Aesthetics.

Safety, clinical knowledge and continued learning will always be at the heart of my practice. 🤍

Our skin changes as we get older and I’m noticing these changes in my own skin too.

As my skin heads into its 40s, I’ve had to become more considered about how I look after it. What worked in my 20s and early 30s isn’t necessarily enough now, so I’ve stepped up my skincare, become more consistent and started thinking much more about overall skin quality.

After 35, we can begin to notice changes in firmness, elasticity, hydration, texture, pigmentation and luminosity. Years of sun exposure can become more visible, cell renewal becomes less efficient and skin can simply start to behave differently.

Summer can make this even more noticeable — especially this summer! More sunshine, holidays, later nights and disrupted routines can leave skin feeling drier, duller, more uneven or just not quite itself.

So September is a great time to reassess what your skin actually needs.

For me, that doesn’t mean lots of treatments or adding ten new products. It means getting the foundations right:

Good skincare. Daily SPF. Hydration. Supporting the skin barrier.

And, where appropriate, treatments such as chemical peels or microneedling can help with pigmentation, texture, dullness and collagen support.

Healthy-looking skin isn’t simply about lines. It’s about texture, tone, hydration, luminosity, elasticity and resilience working together.

And if you choose injectable treatments, improving the quality of the skin can complement them beautifully and help create a more balanced, natural-looking overall result.

I understand how easy it is to look in the mirror and wonder what has changed because I’m going through it too!

Swipe through to see some of the changes we commonly start to notice after 35.

And if you’re not sure where to start, that’s exactly what a skin consultation is for, looking at your skin and deciding together what is worthwhile, what isn’t, and what may realistically make a difference.

🍂 AUTUMN SKIN RESET

Summer may be coming to an end, but your skin can still be showing the effects of the last few months.

More sun exposure, even when you’ve been diligent with SPF, can contribute to pigmentation, dehydration, congestion and changes in texture. You may also notice that your skin feels a little duller, drier or less smooth than it did before summer.

So as we head into autumn, it can be a really good time to reassess what your skin needs and focus on repair, regeneration and skin quality. 🤍

What treatments could help?

🪡 MICRONEEDLING
Creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the skin’s natural healing response, encouraging collagen and elastin production. It can help improve texture, fine lines, pores and overall skin quality.

🍃 CHEMICAL PEELS
Encourage controlled exfoliation and skin renewal and can be useful for pigmentation, congestion, dullness and uneven texture. The type and strength of peel would be selected according to your individual skin.

🧬 POLYNUCLEOTIDES
For those wanting to focus on skin regeneration and quality. Polynucleotides can support the skin’s natural repair processes and help improve hydration, elasticity and overall skin quality.

🧴 MEDICAL-GRADE SKINCARE
The foundation of any good skin plan. Supporting your skin barrier and using the right active ingredients consistently at home is essential for maintaining healthy skin and supporting your results.

🍂 But there isn’t one “autumn treatment”.

Your skin might need something completely different from someone else’s.

Perhaps it’s pigmentation that bothers you.
Perhaps your skin feels dehydrated or dull.
Maybe you’re concerned about texture, congestion or fine lines.
Or perhaps you simply want to focus on collagen stimulation and long-term skin health.

That’s why I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.

A consultation allows me to properly assess your skin, understand what you’d like to improve and recommend a treatment plan that is appropriate for your skin and your goals.

Summer is ending. Your skin reset can begin. 🍂🤍

A snapshot of skin regeneration at Kington Aesthetics 🤍

When we talk about skin rejuvenation, it’s easy to think about simply treating what we can see.

But increasingly, the focus is on skin regeneration and supporting the skin’s own natural processes to improve its quality, resilience and ability to repair itself.

Here are some of the regenerative treatments I offer in clinic:

🧬 Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are regenerative injectables that work within the skin to support repair and regeneration. They can help improve hydration, elasticity, texture and overall skin quality, while supporting fibroblast activity and collagen production.

✨ Biostimulators
Rather than simply adding volume, biostimulators are designed to stimulate your own collagen production. Over time, this can help improve skin thickness, firmness and structural support.

🪡 Microneedling
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries within the skin, triggering the body’s natural wound-healing response. This stimulates collagen and elastin production and can improve texture, fine lines, pores and overall skin quality.

🍃 Chemical peels
Peels encourage controlled exfoliation and skin renewal. Depending on the formulation, they can help improve pigmentation, congestion, dullness and uneven texture while encouraging healthier-looking skin.

🧴 Medical-grade skincare
Regeneration doesn’t stop when you leave the clinic. Supporting the skin barrier and using active ingredients consistently at home is an important part of maintaining healthy skin and maximising treatment results.

These treatments work in different ways and at different levels of the skin, which is why a personalised combination can often be more beneficial than repeatedly relying on one treatment alone.

The goal isn’t to change your features, it is about supporting your skin to become healthier, stronger and more resilient, so that rejuvenation happens naturally over time. 🤍

At Kington Aesthetics, treatment plans are always individualised following a consultation and assessment of your skin and goals.

✨ 25 5-star reviews

I’ve been looking through my recent reviews and there was one thing that really stood out to me… 🤍

It’s not just the treatments or the results that clients mention.

It’s feeling 𝙎𝙖𝙛𝙚.
Feeling 𝙇𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤.
Feeling 𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙙.
Feeling 𝙇𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧.

And honestly, those are the things that matter most to me.

Aesthetic treatments are incredibly personal, and I never want anyone to feel rushed, pressured or like they have to know exactly what they need before they come to see me.

My job is to listen, assess, explain and give you honest advice, whether that means treatment, skincare, a different approach, or sometimes doing nothing at all.

I’m so grateful to every client who takes the time to leave a review. Reading your words and knowing you’ve trusted me with your care genuinely means so much.

Thank you for supporting my little Kington Aesthetics business and for recommending me to your friends and family.

Thank you for trusting me 🙏🏻

✨ My Skin Journey ✨

For years, I struggled with hormonal acne. My breakouts were stubborn, inflamed and often concentrated around my chin and jawline. Just as my skin started to settle, another flare-up would appear, affecting both my skin and my confidence.

Then came the next battle….pigmentation. Even when my acne improved, I was left with stubborn marks, redness, dryness and inflammation, leaving my skin looking uneven and feeling out of balance.

I know how it feels to look in the mirror and not feel confident in your own skin. I’ve been the person trying different products, changing routines and searching for something that would finally make a difference.

I knew I needed more than quick fixes. I committed to a targeted, evidence-based approach using medical-grade prescription home care alongside professional chemical peels with Noon Aesthetics.

The result ✨
🤍 Fewer breakouts
🤍 Smoother texture
🤍 Reduced pigmentation
🤍 Brighter, healthier-looking skin

Improving my skin quality has also enhanced my overall aesthetic results. Healthy, hydrated skin creates the perfect foundation for injectable treatments, allowing results to look more refined, natural and balanced.

My journey has taught me that aesthetics isn’t just about treating lines or restoring volume. It’s about investing in the health and quality of your skin too.

I’m so passionate about helping my clients because I understand the science behind skin, but also how it feels to struggle with it.
