Signum Skin Clinic

The sun has arrived and THIS right here, is my ultimate skincare hack - especially for those of us that haven’t got the time, patience or budget for endless routines 😴 The great news is - it doesn’t feel like a typical oily SPF either, which makes it suitable for all skin types.

MediK8 is fast becoming one of my favourite brands on the market. Fantastic evidenced based formulations, great price points in comparison to higher end brands, and many of their products are available in travel sizes, meaning you can road test them and decide whether they’re right for you before investing. Let’s be honest, there’s nothing more irritating than spending £££ on a skincare product you absolutely hate.

Go and check them out - and make this 👆the first thing you put in your basket.

☀️Happy bank holiday!☀️

The awful truth is, I’ll see many of you when you feel at your worst. I hear the negative self talk day in day out in my consultations, and nothing upsets me more than hearing a patient tell me they don’t feel beautiful.

I get a front row seat to your vulnerability, and working in an industry built upon beauty standards, it feels somewhat of a juxtapositional place to sit. Undergoing treatment is incredibly nuanced, there is no black or white, and every patient unique with their own story to tell. It’s my job to unravel the complexities that lie within each individual consultation, and sometimes, that might also mean that no treatment is the most morally robust thing to do.

We live in a world that makes us feel that whether we choose to have treatments or not - it’s the wrong one. If you decide to have filler or botox - it’s vanity. If you choose to “age gracefully” - it’s ugly. The bottom line is you have to do what feels right for you, irrespective of outside opinion. If you can improve something that genuinely causes you some internal discomfort and negatively influences your self confidence, it’s nobody else’s place to tell you that you shouldn’t. Your body. Your choice - and yours alone.

Aesthetics shouldn’t be about changing who you are or grossly altering the way that you look. It should be about stepping into a version of yourself you feel just a little more content with. If this dilemma feels familiar to you, consultations are the best way to figure out whether treatment is right for you or not. My DM’s are always open, and I’m always happy to give you genuine, honest advice.

🧡

1. No treatment is completely risk free. Your consultation should be thorough, thought out, and risks explained to you in detail. If someone tells you there are no risks, this is your first red flag. Equally, if someone guarantees you results, that’s your second 🚩

2. Not all practitioners sing from the same hymn sheet. There are bad practitioners of ALL disciplines out there who are more interested in the money you bring to their business than whether a treatments going to truly benefit you or not. A medical degree doesn’t come with a complimentary moral compass. Remember that.

3. Aftercare matters - not following aftercare advice has consequences, as does the aftercare support offered by your practitioner. Is your aftercare advice clear? Can you contact them if you encounter a problem? What resolution can they offer you if you do? Can they write you a prescription if you need one or refer you to someone else if they can’t? Make sure you’re asking these important questions before you book anything.
