1ML SOUNDS LIKE A LOT… UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY SEE WHAT 1ML LOOKS LIKE. 💉👀

This video is obviously a visual comparison — filler and ketchup are very different products 😂 — but it helps explain something I hear in clinic all the time.

“Can we do my cheeks, lips, chin and jawline with 1ml?”
And I completely understand why people ask.

If you’ve never seen 1ml of product before, it’s difficult to picture how small that volume actually is.
But this is why I don’t start a consultation by asking:

“How many ml do you want?”
I start by looking at your face. 💚
Your proportions.
Where volume or support may have changed.
What’s actually bothering you.

Which areas, if any, might benefit from treatment.
And what we’re realistically trying to achieve.

Because 1ml used thoughtfully in one area can be very different from trying to divide that same amount across four different areas.
And equally, needing more product doesn’t mean we simply keep adding filler everywhere.
Sometimes less is appropriate.

Sometimes treatment needs to be staged.
And sometimes filler isn’t the right answer at all. ✨

That’s why choosing a number of syringes before you’ve even been assessed can be the wrong way round.

My job isn’t to find enough places to use the filler you’ve booked.
It’s to work out what actually makes sense for your face. 👑

ASSESSMENT FIRST. TREATMENT SECOND. Not syringe count first. 💉

PEOPLE SEE THE LIFE I’VE BUILT. MOST DON’T KNOW THE LIFE I HAD TO BUILD IT FROM. 👑
I don’t talk about this part of my life often.

When I was 16, my dad kicked me out of home.
I sofa-surfed before getting a place at Chapter House, a homeless hostel for young people in West Bromwich.

I felt alone. Angry. Rejected.
My relationship with my dad had been difficult for years, and I knew there was a part of me he was never going to accept because of my sexuality.
Then life got messier.

Drugs. Alcohol.
Then I met someone I loved deeply.
And he was murdered.

I didn’t know how to deal with that loss, and things got worse.
There were nights I’d make it home without my phone, keys or wallet. Sometimes without much memory of how I got there.

I realised I was losing people too.
Somewhere in all of that chaos, I remember thinking:
This cannot be my life.

But underneath everything, I still believed there had to be something else for me. ✨
Eventually I realised nobody was going to build that future for me.
I had to do it myself.
I changed the people around me.
I got clean.

I got a job in a casino and had structure.
Work. Responsibility. Routine.
I started building a life that wasn’t centred around escaping from one.
Not overnight.

Just one different decision, then another.
And slowly, those decisions built a different life. 💚
I think that’s why I’m still so ambitious at 42.

I know what it feels like to have very little security and no idea what happens next.
I like building things. I like success. I like having choices.
But underneath that ambition is something much more personal.
I think about that 16-year-old version of me.

I’m proud of him. 🫶🏻
Because somehow, he kept believing there could be something else.
Your past can shape you.
But it doesn’t get to decide what you become.
I’m still building mine. 👑

KEEP GOING. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHERE YOUR LIFE COULD TAKE YOU. 🫶🏻✨

Exosomes are everywhere right now.

Which, in aesthetics, usually means one of two things:

Everyone suddenly wants to offer them.

Or everyone suddenly claims to be an expert in them. 😂

But something becoming popular isn’t a good enough reason to add it to your clinic.

Before introducing any treatment, I think practitioners should understand what they’re actually working with, why it’s being used and where it realistically fits into practice.

Exosomes are cell-derived messengers involved in communication between cells.

In aesthetics, they’re being used as part of the growing interest in regenerative-focused skin treatments, including alongside treatments such as microneedling.

But this is where understanding matters.

Because “regenerative” is a very easy word to put on Instagram.

Understanding the science behind what you’re offering is a different thing entirely.

What are exosomes?

What role does cellular communication play?

What should you be looking for when considering product quality?

How can they be incorporated alongside microneedling?

What does appropriate preparation, application and aftercare look like?

And importantly — what should clients realistically expect?

That last one matters.

Because education shouldn’t give you better buzzwords to sell a treatment.

It should help you make better-informed decisions about whether that treatment belongs in your practice in the first place.

That’s exactly why I created the Exosomes Masterclass inside Cole Aesthetics Academy.

We break down the science, product considerations, treatment planning, application, combination approaches, protocols, aftercare and realistic expectations — without turning it into another miracle-treatment fairy tale. 🧚😂

The Exosomes Masterclass is £149, online and on-demand.

Because you don't need to offer every treatment that's trending.

But if you're going to offer one, you should understand what you're working with. 👑

Comment EXOSOMES and I’ll send you the details.

YOU DON’T NEED TO KNOW HOW MANY ML YOU NEED BEFORE YOU WALK THROUGH MY DOOR. 💉✨

In fact, I’d rather you didn’t choose your treatment plan before I’ve even assessed you.
Most people don’t come into clinic saying:

“I need exactly 2ml of dermal filler in these three areas.” 😂
They say:
“I look tired.”
“My face feels like it’s dropped.”
“I’ve lost definition.”
“I just don’t look as fresh as I used to.”

Or one I hear all the time:
“I want to look better. I just don’t want to look like I’ve had loads done.” 👀

And that’s where the consultation starts. 💚
Because my dermal filler packages aren’t about finding enough places to put a certain number of syringes.

They give us the opportunity to look at your face as a whole.
Your proportions.

Your existing volume and structure.
What’s actually bothering you.
And, importantly, what you want to still look like afterwards.

From there, we can decide whether filler is appropriate, which areas might benefit from treatment and how much product actually makes sense. ✨

Sometimes that might mean restoring support or volume in certain areas.
Sometimes it’s about improving balance or definition.

And sometimes I’ll recommend less treatment than you expected — or no filler at all.
Because my job isn’t to sell you the most filler. 👑

It’s to work out what makes sense for your face.
So if you’ve been looking at my dermal filler packages wondering which one you need, how many ml you should book or which areas should be treated...

You don’t need to work that out yourself.
That’s what the assessment is for.

Assessment first. Treatment second. Product third. 💚

I DIDN’T SET OUT TO BUILD THREE BUSINESSES. 👑
WHAT ARE YOU BUILDING NEXT? 👇

I didn't sit down one day with some grand plan and think:
Right. Clinic. Academy. Business coaching. Let's build an empire. 😂
It happened much more naturally than that.
I started with the clinic because I loved aesthetics.

I loved treating clients, understanding faces, working out what was actually bothering someone and creating a plan that made sense for them. 💚
And the longer I worked in clinic, the more I realised there was another side of the industry I was becoming really interested in.

Education. 🎓
Not just teaching someone where to inject or giving them another protocol to remember.
I wanted practitioners to understand why they were making a decision.

Assessment.
Anatomy.
Suitability.
Treatment planning.
Knowing when not to treat.
That eventually became Cole Aesthetics Academy. ✨

And then something else kept coming up.
I'd speak to brilliant practitioners who were clinically very good...
but nobody had really taught them how to build the business around that expertise.
Pricing.
Positioning.
Marketing.
Consultations.
Client journey.
Systems.

All the things I'd had to learn while building my own clinic.
And that became Cole Elevation. 👑

So no, I didn't set out to build three businesses.
One business showed me the problem that the next one needed to solve.

And I think that's probably one of the biggest things I've learned about business.
You don't always need to know what the whole thing is going to become.

Sometimes you just need to build what's in front of you, pay attention to what people actually need...
and be willing to follow where that takes you.

I'm still doing that now.
Still treating.
Still teaching.
Still building. 💚

And I definitely don't have the next ten years mapped out on a vision board somewhere. 😂
But I'm paying attention.

And so far, that's taken me somewhere pretty interesting. 👑
BUILD. LISTEN. EVOLVE.
