Are you tired of looking tired? Plinest Eye could be the answer
✨ A subtle refresh that still looks like you. ✨
These INCREDIBLE results were achieved with 4 x Plinest Eye treatments, spaced 3 weeks apart. Definitely one of my favourite results I’ve seen to date!
Plinest Eye works by improving the quality of the delicate skin under the eyes, helping to soften fine lines, improve hydration and brighten the area over time. Fantastic for crepey skin. The changes are gradual, natural and continue to develop as your skin produces new collagen.
No filters. No heavy editing. Just healthier, fresher-looking skin.

✨ BLACKHEADS vs. SEBACEOUS FILAMENTS ✨
Think every dot on your nose is a blackhead? Think again 👀
One of the most common skincare misconceptions is confusing blackheads with sebaceous filaments. While they may look similar, they are completely different—and treating them the same can lead to frustration and skin irritation.
🖤 Blackheads:
• Clogged pores filled with oil, dead skin, and debris
• Dark in color due to oxidation
• Often appear larger, darker, bumpy and more irregular
• Can benefit from professional extractions and targeted skincare
🤍 Sebaceous Filaments:
• A natural part of your skin’s oil transport system
• Usually light grey, beige, or yellow-toned
• Cannot be permanently removed (and shouldn’t be aggressively squeezed)
The key? Knowing what you’re looking at before choosing a treatment.
Healthy skin isn’t about having “poreless” skin—it’s about understanding your skin and treating it appropriately. ✨
Save this post for your next skincare deep dive and share it with someone who thinks every pore is a blackhead!

The biggest mistake people make after microneedling?
❌ Skipping SPF.
Microneedling stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture, tone and overall skin quality. But fresh, healing skin is highly susceptible to UV damage.
That means no SPF = increased risk of pigmentation, prolonged redness and compromised results.
If you’re investing in your skin, protect that investment.
Daily SPF isn’t optional after microneedling — it’s essential.
💗 SPF today. Better results tomorrow.
‼️ Important things to observe are happening at your Microneedling treatment ‼️
🧼 Skin prep is key
Skin should be cleansed thourougly before ANY treatment that breaks the skin.
🦠 Antibacterial wipe or solution should be applied before treatment to prevent bacteria entering the skin causing infection and unwanted reactions
🩸 Devices, cartridges, syringes should be clean and covered, in unopened wrapping to avoid cross contamination
🗑️ Sharps bin should be present to safety dispose of any sharps such as the needle cartridges
♻️🩸Clinical waste bag to immediately dispose of all waste that comes into contact with the skin
🧤Fresh gloves should be worn during the treatment and changes when necessary
Thank me later 😊

‼️ Micro-needling mistakes ‼️
Only apply the Hyaluronic serum I give you to take home after your treatment - applying anything else can cause irritation, block the open channels and delay the healing
Do not believe that your skin needs to be bleeding! Pin point bleeding is ok but not a blood bath. It’s ‘micro trauma’ NOT aggressive trauma we want to create
Deeper is not better! Depending what skin concerns we are addressing and the quality of the skin before treatment determines what depth we are working with.

STOP 🛑 let’s talk about pores!
Do you find yourself wishing all these tiny holes in your skin would just disappear?
Have you been wondering what you need to do to get rid of them?
Well the simple truth is, they won’t and there’s nothing you can ‘do’ that will change that unfortunately
Pores are the exit points for hair follicles and for our skin to release sebum and sweat and they are a very healthy part of our skin
If yours are getting you down, do get into and can talk about ways to minimise their appearance
This is the improvement in skin quality and winkles that you can achieve with a course of Micro-needling and Polynucleotides
We focused on the perioral area and marionettes with the Polynucleotides here for my beautiful client
Excited to see more gradual improvements as we continue on with Micro-needling
