✨ THE SECRET IS OUT… PLLA BIOSTIMULATORS HAVE ARRIVED AT BLACK IVY! ✨

This is something I’ve wanted to bring to the clinic for such a long time, and I’m SO excited to finally introduce PLLA collagen biostimulation to Black Ivy. 🤍

So… what actually is a PLLA biostimulator?

PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid) is an injectable treatment that works by stimulating your own fibroblasts to produce new collagen.

Unlike traditional dermal filler, which is primarily used to add or restore volume, PLLA works gradually to encourage your skin to rebuild its own collagen and structural support from within.

The result?

✨ Improved firmness & elasticity
✨ Restoration of lost facial support
✨ Improved skin quality & texture
✨ Softening of lines and folds
✨ Subtle improvement in facial contours
✨ Progressive, natural-looking rejuvenation
✨ Results that develop gradually over time

This treatment is PERFECT for the client who tells me:

“I don’t necessarily want filler… I just feel like my face has changed.”

Maybe you’ve noticed your cheeks aren’t as supported as they once were, your lower face feels heavier, your skin has lost some firmness, or you simply feel like you look a little more tired.

Rather than chasing individual lines, PLLA is about treating the bigger picture improving the underlying support and quality of the skin by encouraging your body to produce more of its own collagen.

And one of my favourite things about it?

It doesn’t give you that instant ‘filled’ look.

Your results develop progressively as collagen production increases, meaning the change can be beautifully subtle:

You still look like you. Just fresher, firmer and rejuvenated. 🤍

WHO IS IT FOR?

PLLA biostimulation may be suitable if you’re noticing:

🤍 Facial volume loss
🤍 Reduced firmness or skin laxity
🤍 Hollowing or a tired appearance
🤍 Changes in facial structure as you age
🤍 Declining skin quality
🤍 Or you simply want to invest in the long-term quality of your skin ✨ CONSULTATIONS ARE NOW OPEN ✨

✨ Softening Nasolabial Folds ✨

It’s not always about filling a line it’s about understanding why that fold is there and treating strategically.

For this gorgeous client, carefully placed dermal filler was used to soften the nasolabial folds and restore subtle support, while keeping her completely natural expression.

The result? A softer, fresher appearance without looking “filled”. 🤍

Sometimes somebody walks through your door and leaves a little mark on you. 🤍

Every now and then, you meet someone and you just instantly click. You talk, you laugh, you share stories and somehow, without even realising it, they inspire you too.

That’s exactly what this gorgeous soul did today.

She came to me for her very first 0.5ml lip filler treatment, something she’d been putting off for a long time, and seeing her leave feeling happy, confident and excited about this new chapter genuinely made my day.

Then I read this review… 🥹

This is the part of aesthetics I love most. Yes, I love creating beautiful, natural results but it’s the people I get to meet along the way that make this job so special.

If you hadn’t already noticed… I bloody love my job. 😂🤍

Thank you for trusting me to be a tiny part of your journey. ✨

Next up… Megan! 🤍

Megan’s approach to aesthetics is the perfect combination of clinical knowledge and creativity.

As a paramedic, her career in emergency care has taught her the importance of precision, responsibility and always putting people first. Those same values are at the heart of every treatment she provides.

But there’s another side to Megan too. Before aesthetics, she had a background in makeup artistry, giving her a real understanding of faces, proportions and how the smallest details can make the biggest difference.

For Megan, aesthetics isn’t about dramatic transformations or changing the way someone looks. It’s about looking at the whole person, understanding what suits them and creating subtle, considered results that still feel completely like them.

What she loves most is getting to know the person behind the treatment. Everyone walks through the clinic doors with their own story, insecurities and goals, and creating a space where clients feel comfortable, listened to and understood is incredibly important to her.

And then there’s that mirror moment when a client sees their finished result and you can literally see their confidence change. Not because they look like somebody else, but because they feel like the best version of themselves.

Aesthetics means Megan never had to choose between her two sides. She gets to combine the knowledge and responsibility of being a paramedic with the creativity and artistry she’s always loved. And lastly… you’ll always know when Meg’s in..Alexa, play country music 😂

Clinical. Creative. Considered. That’s Megan. 🤍

Next up… Nic! 🤍

The beauty queen of Black Ivy and the person responsible for keeping you all looking fabulous ✨

Nic is our beautician and an absolutely huge part of Black Ivy. She genuinely loves what she does, but for her it’s about so much more than the treatment itself. It’s the relationships she builds, the confidence boost she gives her clients and being that little bit of “me time” in someone’s busy week.

If you’ve had an appointment with Nic, you’ll know there’s never a shortage of chatting, laughing and the obligatory “RIGHT… What are we singing today?!” 😂

She’s a perfectionist, always learning and developing her skills, and genuinely gets as excited about your results as you do.

Outside the clinic, she’s a mum of two, marathon runner, football lover, dark-romance-book addict and could probably survive entirely on coffee and conversation 😂

She’s also my sister, which means I’m slightly biased… but Black Ivy genuinely wouldn’t be Black Ivy without her. 🥹

Over the next few days, we’re going to be properly introducing the team behind Black Ivy 🤍

And apparently I have to go first… even though we all know how much I hate being featured on the ’gram 😂

First up…me! 👋🏼

I’m Emma, Clinic Owner & Director of Black Ivy Aesthetics, as well as a HCPC registered Paramedic.

Black Ivy has always been about so much more to me than aesthetics. I genuinely love what I do from meeting the most amazing clients (many of who have been with me for years 🥹) to helping people feel that little bit more confident in themselves.

My approach has always been natural, evidence based and client led. I’m not here to change the way you look. I want you to still look completely like you just refreshed, confident and feeling your best.

My clinical background plays a huge part in the way I practise. Safety, education and evidence will always come before trends, and I’ll never recommend a treatment simply for the sake of doing one.

I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve created at Black Ivy and of the team behind it. 🖤

So… that’s enough about me before I get uncomfortable 😂
