Happy International Nurses Day to all the amazing nurses I’ve met throughout my career!

Nursing is such a unique career and one that brings you so much life experience, opportunities and reflection. Looking back, it has led me to meet some truly inspiring people and friends around the world.

One of the moments I’ll never forget was when I was on placement working in Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. While I was there, the midwife allowed me to deliver a little baby on my own. We had no electricity or running water and the mothers identified their babies by wrapping them up in their scarfs. Fathers were also not allowed to be present at birth, but were the only ones who were allowed to name them.

I still remember standing there with just a bed, a large orange bucket, the mother and the midwife. It was a silent birth, meaning the mother wasn’t allowed pain relief or to make any noise, or the baby would be cursed. I remember feeling completely amazed watching this little tiny person come into the world and the mother was incredibly strong. In fact, I think I made more noise than her 😂

Nursing can be challenging, exhausting and emotional, but moments and experiences like this make it worth it 🤍

Have you heard of or have been thinking of trying polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides work by stimulating the skin’s natural repair process to help improve hydration, skin quality, elasticity and collagen production. They can help improve tired looking under eyes and puffiness in some patients and continue working for many months after your final treatment.

Treatment is delivered using tiny superficial microdrop injections into the skin. The face or under eye area is numbed beforehand for comfort.

Polynucleotides are not just for the under eyes, they can also be used on the full face, neck area, décolletage and hands.

I use high quality high concentration polynucleotides in clinic to help ensure the best possible results for your skin concerns. These results are after 3 treatments spaced 2 weeks apart and you can see a great improvement in skin quality, hydration and the overall appearance of the under eyes.

Yesterday I attended training in Sculptra, another injectable biostimulator that I’ll be offering in clinic alongside Radiesse.

Not every biostimulator is suitable for every patient and that’s why I feel it’s important to offer a range of options tailored to individual concerns, anatomy, skin quality and overall goals.

Unlike traditional filler, Sculptra works by stimulating your body’s own collagen production. It contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) which gradually helps restore skin structure, firmness and volume over time. Results develop gradually as collagen production increases, meaning the outcome is subtle and natural looking rather than an instant “filled” appearance.

Most patients begin to notice improvement around 6 to 12 weeks following treatment, with results continuing to improve over the following months. Results can last up to 2 years or sometimes longer depending on the individual, treatment plan and lifestyle factors.

Sculptra can be used to help improve:
Facial volume loss
Skin laxity
Hollowing
Lower face support
Overall skin quality and firmness
Age related collagen loss

As I already offer Radiesse in clinic, being able to now provide different types of biostimulators allows me to better tailor treatments to what is most appropriate for each patient rather than taking a one size fits all approach. If this is something you’d be interested in, send me a message to discuss or book in for a consultation to see if this would be a good treatment option for you!

Another lovely review! So grateful for every review. It helps small businesses more than you think 🤍

Have you lost weight recently and feel like your face looks a little more hollow or tired?

This is something I see quite often. When we lose weight, we don’t just lose it from the body, we also lose volume in the face. This can lead to areas looking less supported, especially through the mid face and lower face.

With this client, she had experienced significant weight loss and felt like she had lost some of her natural structure. We focused on a subtle approach, carefully placing small amounts of dermal filler to restore support and soften the overall appearance.

This wasn’t about changing how she looks. It was about bringing back balance and helping her feel more like herself again.

Results are designed to be natural, with a focus on enhancing what is already there rather than overfilling.

If this sounds like something you have noticed in yourself, a consultation is always the best place to start.

Before and after using Stylage Special Lips.

First time lip filler can feel scary, I completely get that. You can be rest assured I will never overfill your lips.

This patient wanted more hydration and a subtle boost to the upper lip, keeping everything soft and natural.

I absolutely love these results 🤍

Why might you not be getting the results you want? Treatments and skincare can feel expensive and I completely understand that.

But I see this all the time. People come for one treatment and don’t follow through with a plan and that’s when they don’t get the results they’re hoping for.

Treatments work by stimulating change in the skin, but it’s what you do in between appointments that determines how good those results actually are. If your barrier isn’t supported, if you’re not consistent with your skincare or you’re using the wrong products at home, you won’t get the outcome you’re looking for.

This is why I always work with you and your budget so we can build a home routine and a treatment plan that actually works.

Results come from consistency, the right approach and sticking with it over time. If you are feeling like you don’t know where to start, book in for a consultation and we can discuss what will be the best plan for you!

My patient came to me wanting to look less tired and feel a little fresher. Subtle changes, but such a difference. I absolutely love the results we got!
