Skin by Lauren Ellen

And in the end. Nobody put their shoes on and the work email didn’t get sent 😵‍💫

Few more weeks of the juggle!

I wish this was sponsored by .drinks (if only!!)

Over 50 GOOGLE REVIEWS!!!!

A huge thank you to the guys and gals who took the time to share your experience!! I read every one of them over and over, especially on the days when I need it most.

Some clinics would feel this simply isn’t enough. Only 50 reviews in 6 years, what’s the fuss about?!

Here’s why.

I deal with A LOT of skin conditions which require a lot of work and TIME, which means I’m not asking for a review after your first appointment or even fifth.

Skin prep, home care, creating healthy foundations with the Byonik and other treatments, numerous sessions of corrective treatments such as SkinPen to help with conditions like pigmentation, scar revision and more.

It takes time. Results are definitely not linear, there’s a lot of emotion tied into these journeys, and clients are desperately wanting a resolution.

With new clinics popping up everywhere, the choice is vast, and having a small business right now is incredibly volatile, which is so scary. My business supports my family, not a boujee lifestyle (if only!).

No quick fixes.
No instant gratification.

So, a huge thank you! These positive experiences are so greatly appreciated. I just want to keep on helping others for as long as I can.

Thank you always 🙏🙏🙏

Story time

A couple of weeks ago, I attended an appointment already feeling quite nervous as I sat in the chair.

Within 10 swift minutes, I was told that if I didn’t follow through with a treatment plan, the future was going to be bleak and I needed to act now.

The medical professional pointed out everything that was wrong, and honestly, I felt like I was being sold to.

As I left that cold, clinical setting, I felt quite upset and, to be honest, utterly crap about myself.

So, I decided to get a second opinion.

Luckily, I came out of that appointment feeling much more positive, equipped with a clear plan and, most importantly, feeling listened to.

The treatment in question?

A dental examination!!!

But this experience really got me thinking…

How many times do clients come to me feeling nervous, worried or anxious? Feeling almost embarrassed or scared to discuss what they do — or don’t do — when it comes to their skin?

Social media can be brilliant, but it can also create a sense of shame if you’re not doing THIS or THAT when it comes to skin health.

And that’s exactly why I create a calm environment.

It’s intentional. NOT FLUFFY 🤣

No shame or hard selling and definitely no making you feel inadequate.

I won’t sugar-coat things, but I will listen. I’ll be kind, honest and always treat you with respect.

So, do me a favour…

Clients, past, present and future:
if you’ve got any niggling questions about your skin but you’re worried about making that first move, please reach out.

My inbox is always open, and I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts and questions — whether that’s in the comments or privately in the DMs. At a later date (anonymously, of course), if you’re happy for me to, I will be sharing a Q&A, because your question might be exactly what someone else is too nervous to ask.

I’ve now found a new dentist. 😂

Real women. Real results. Real Talk.

We get so caught up in what we can see superficially on the skins surface, but a little like our health, changes are happening within, subtle changes.

Our connective tissues do an impeccable job at keeping everything held together, quite literally. But over time the hard working, robust scaffolding starts to weaken.

A natural way to tighten and reinforce the foundations is microneedling, and not just any, medical microneedling.

If you are noticing slight changes, let’s talk in clinic and put together a targeted treatment plan like we did with Anna 💙

“Don’t talk to clients, they’re not here to hear what you have to say, they’re here to have a treatment”

My introduction on the first day before a back to back day of working in spa. A sentence I won’t ever forget!

Now, clients come to me, my business to gain advice and guidance under my watch. Therapist message me daily for support and advice on their next steps in education, training and their actual careers.

I wish I could tell my 20 year old self this.

(Did anyone notice my pups cameo in the background 😂 a prize for the first person!)
