Hypnotherapy myths, answered by Dr Ru ✨

No, you do not lose control.
No, you are not unconscious.
No, it is not about being “weak-minded” or easy to influence.
And no, it is not always instant — real change often builds over time.

Hypnotherapy is a guided, focused state of relaxation, and for the right person it can be a really valuable part of a wider wellbeing plan.

If you have been curious but unsure, this is your sign to learn more.

When people say they’ve put their SPF on… and we know they haven’t 👀 ☀️

A little reminder from us: SPF is not just for the 30 degree heatwave days.

It matters in summer, it matters in winter, and it matters even when it is cloudy. If you are serious about looking after your skin, SPF needs to be part of your routine every single day.

And just as importantly — one application in the morning is not enough to carry you through the whole day. SPF needs to be reapplied if you want proper protection.

So yes, we are going to keep asking…

Did you actually put your SPF on? And did you reapply it? 😅

Microneedling is one of the most underrated treatments in aesthetics.

Why? Because so many people still do not fully understand what it is actually doing within the skin.
Microneedling is not just about the treatment itself. It is also about what we pair it with — carefully chosen products that can help to hydrate the skin, calm inflammation, support pigmentation concerns and enhance overall skin quality.

It is such a versatile treatment because it can benefit so many different age groups and skin concerns. It is not something to wait for until the signs of ageing are already there. It can also play a role in collagen banking, helping to support the skin earlier and more proactively.

Benefits can include improved skin texture, tighter-looking skin, refined pores and support for concerns such as pigmentation, inflammation and overall skin quality.

And yes — microneedling can absolutely still have its place during the sunnier months, with the right guidance, timing and aftercare.

If you want to know whether microneedling is right for your skin, book a consultation at Skin and Medical Cosmetics in King’s Hill.

What am I doing to age so gracefully?

A little help from Plinest and hyaluronic acid injectables (dermal filler) 👀 ✨

Because ageing naturally does not have to mean doing nothing. At Skin and Medical Cosmetics, our approach is always about subtle, thoughtful treatments that support you in looking refreshed, well and still completely like yourself.

Plinest helps to support regeneration, improve skin quality, hydration and elasticity, while hyaluronic acid injectable (dermal filler) can be used strategically to restore support and maintain balance.

Together, they can be a beautiful combination — improving both skin quality and structure in a way that looks natural, not obvious.

If you want to explore what the right approach looks like for you, book a consultation with Dr Raquel in King’s Hill.

First rule of Skin School…

Nobody speaks about Skin School.

Mostly because we filmed for 15 minutes and somehow still ended up with almost no usable content 😅

Between the camera set-up, the accidental recording, the “is this actually filming?” moments and the behind-the-scenes chaos, this is what survived.

Still, if this is the outtake version, imagine what the real episode will be like…

Should we try again and bring you episode one of Skin School?

And this is exactly why Dr Raquel sticks to injectables… while Elizabeth Caroline delivers the luxury lip rituals

A little fun, but also a very good example of why different treatments belong in different expert hands.

This beautiful new treatment from Monika Heiligmann, NHFT-10, is a non-invasive lip treatment designed to support natural lip regeneration and improve lip quality from within. Because healthy, beautiful lips are not just about volume — they are about hydration, smoothness, definition and overall lip health.

Performed by Elizabeth Caroline, this is a luxurious 30-minute lip ritual dedicated entirely to you. It is the perfect treatment if your lips are feeling dry, losing definition, looking less smooth, or if you are looking for a non-invasive way to support long-term lip health and regeneration.

It is also ideal if you simply love the idea of a relaxing treatment with visible results.

A new era of lip care, now available at Skin and Medical Cosmetics in King’s Hill.
