New Aspect Appearance Medicine With Lauren

MOVING FORWARD, PLEASE BE AWARE:

Due to the increasing number of last-minute cancellations and rescheduled appointments, a non-refundable $200 booking fee will now be required to secure appointments at my out-of-town clinics.

This deposit will be deducted from your treatment cost. Cancellations or rescheduling will result in the deposit being forfeited.

When I travel out of town to hold clinics, there is a lot more involved than simply turning up and treating clients. There is travel, accommodation, preparation, expenses and time away from my family and my main clinic. I make these trips because I genuinely value my clients and want to make my services accessible to those outside of Napier.

Cancelling at the last minute doesn't just leave an empty space in my day. It costs my business money, wastes valuable time and takes an appointment away from someone who genuinely wanted it.

This isn't about being difficult or inflexible and I understand that life happens and unexpected circumstances arise, but last minute cancellations and repeated rescheduling have a real impact on my business.

When I've committed my time, travel & expenses to being there for you, I simply ask that you show the same consideration in return.

All future bookings shall be made via myself & only held once the booking fee has been received.

Thank you for your understanding, continued support and respect for my time. I genuinely appreciate every client who values the commitment I make to providing these clinics. It doesn't go unnoticed.🖤

want to improve appearance but I have absolutely no idea what treatment I need!

With so many treatments available, it's no wonder people feel overwhelmed.

HIFU, RF microneedling, skin boosters, biostimulators, dermal fillers, anti-wrinkle treatments, chemical peels and the list just goes on.

I have made things a little easier for you to do some research on the available treatments I recommend for each concern.

Swipe through to discover what each treatment does and which concerns it may help address.

Obviously you don't need to know what treatment to book. That's what your consultation is for but sometimes a little research to know what is available and for what can make the consultation process a little less daunting 🖤

FOCUS DUAL HIFU | LIFT. TIGHTEN. SCULPT.

Face, neck AND body rejuvenation without needles or significant downtime!

One of my absolute favourite treatments for improving skin laxity, restoring definition and stimulating natural collagen production.

How does it work?

HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound.
It delivers focused ultrasound energy to precise depths beneath the skin, creating controlled heat that stimulates collagen production and remodelling.

Over the following weeks and months, your skin gradually becomes firmer, tighter and more supported.

WHAT AREAS CAN WE TREAT?

Jawline & jowls – Improve definition and the appearance of sagging along the jawline.

Double chin – Target suitable areas of submental fullness and loose skin for a more sculpted appearance.

Lower face – Improve skin laxity and support a firmer facial contour.

Full face – Improve overall firmness and skin tightening.

Neck – Improve loose, crepey skin and early signs of ageing.

Brow area – Subtle lifting and tightening for suitable clients.

HIFU isn't just for the face!

Abdomen – Improve mild to moderate skin laxity, particularly after weight loss or pregnancy.

Upper arms – Help tighten loose, crepey skin.

Inner thighs – Improve skin firmness and laxity.

Above the knees – Target loose, ageing skin around the knee area.

WHY I LOVE FOCUS DUAL HIFU

✔️ Painless

✔️ No needles or incisions

✔️ No downtime

✔️ Stimulates your body's natural collagen production

✔️ Gradual, natural-looking results

✔️ Treats both face and body

✔️ Can complement other skin rejuvenation treatments

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?

Some see initial immediate results, however collagen remodelling takes time. Improvements typically develop over 8–12 weeks and may continue over the following months.

Some clients benefit from a single treatment, while others require a course depending on the degree of laxity and desired outcome.

WHY I'M SUCH A FAN

Simple. Because it delivers results!

And HIFU has absolutely earned its place.

I've seen firsthand how effective it can be at improving skin laxity, restoring & defining the jawline.

This beauty originally came to me wanting more lip filler. However, after assessing her lips, I advised that we needed to dissolve the existing filler before adding any more.

In this case, she had previously had her lips done over the years from another injector. On assessment there were several visible and palpable lumps, consistent with filler sitting too superficially within the mucosal tissue.

This is not what we want to see from lip filler.
Lip filler should enhance the natural shape, structure and proportions of the lips, not leave behind obvious lumps, bumps or irregularities.

So, the plan was to dissolve the old filler, allowed the lips time to settle and then refilled them.

She now has beautifully refreshed lips with improved shape, and symmetry along with volume and hydration.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting fuller lips, but the condition of the existing filler matters just as much as the final volume.

Ultimately, she came in wanting more filler, but what her lips really needed was a fresh start.

By dissolving the old product and carefully refilling, we were able to achieve a smoother, more balanced and beautifully defined result.

Note: Swelling and a small amount of bruising evident. This will settle over a few days

That's expensive...

I hear this about aesthetic treatments all the time. And yet, often it comes from people who drive beautiful cars, own designer handbags, live in gorgeous homes, travel regularly, eat at beautiful restaurants or happily spend $100 plus on a night out.

And there is absolutely nothing wrong with any of those things. Spend your money on what brings you joy. But guess what we all place value on different things.

Some people will spend $4,000 on a handbag without thinking twice, but feel that spending money on their skin, face or ageing well is “too expensive.” Someone else wouldn’t dream of buying the handbag but will happily invest in quality skincare, skin treatments and a considered aesthetic plan because that is important to them.

Neither is wrong.

But please don’t confuse that’s not where I choose to spend my money” with “these treatments are too expensive.” Treatment pricing reflects experience, training, products, equipment, time, ongoing education and the level of care that goes into treating your face. And your face is something you wear every single day.

If looking after yourself, maintaining your skin, ageing well, feeling confident isn't a priority for you than that is fine. But please don’t go around saying "that's too expensive” simply because it’s not where you choose to spend your money.

So yes, buy the bag.
Book the holiday.
Drink the beautiful w**e.
Go out for dinner.

But if looking after your face matters to you too, allow it to have a place on your priority list.

Sometimes it isn’t that something is “too expensive.” It’s simply about where we choose to place value.

Natural results. Thoughtful treatments. Long-term investment in you. 🤍

I think it’s safe to say I’m officially OBSESSED with HIFU. 🤍

These are my own jawline lift results, and I am genuinely blown away every time I look in the mirror.

My lower face looks leaner, more sculpted and more defined. The slight heaviness and jowling I was starting to notice has disappeared, my jawline looks sharper, and the crepey skin through my submental area has improved so much. I feel leaner and although I have a pretty good jawline for 46 I was noticing it wasn't as defined as it used to be and there was a very small amount of jowling starting. So I tried HIFU and I am absolutely friggen OBSESSED!

Some might say I didn't reeeeally need it but I could see the aging process happening and I did it for prevention too. We can never have enough collagen production in my opinion so this will help slow down the dreaded aging process.

True results come in around the 3 months so I cannot wait to see how I look in a couple of months! 📐 I'm already so so so happy

It still looks completely like me. Nothing has been added. No volume. Just my own face looking tighter, firmer and more defined.

This will 100% be a yearly treatment for me from now on. I may actually do one more focused treatment through my submental area because I’d love to see just how much further I can take that tightening.

After seeing my own results, HIFU is going to become a treatment I incorporate into almost every treatment plan where jowling, lower-face heaviness or loss of jawline definition is a concern.

For someone with more advanced laxity or jowling than I had, one would generally be looking at a course of two or three rather than expecting one treatment to do all the work. It’s also about choosing the right patient and combining treatments where needed.

But for me I can honestly say WOW! I am absolutely SOLD. I honestly cannot stop looking at my jawline.

I look leaner, more lifted, sculpted & defined. Thank you Focus Dual I love you 😆

HIFU, you have officially earned a permanent place in my own treatment plan. 🤍

If I wouldn’t trust it with my own face, I wouldn’t trust it with yours.

There are always treatments, products and devices that people rave about. New launches, new trends, the latest “must-have” treatment. But that doesn’t automatically mean you’ll find them in my clinic.

If I try something and I’m underwhelmed by the results, I won’t offer it.

If I’m not completely comfortable with the safety profile, I won’t offer it.

If I don’t believe it delivers what it promises, I won’t offer it.

Over the years I’ve had plenty of reps come to me absolutely raving about their latest product or treatment, telling me how incredible it is and why I need to have it in my clinic.

My response is always the same:

Show me the results.
Show me the before & afters.
Show me the research.
Show me the evidence behind the claims.

Everything I bring into New Aspect has to earn its place. I want treatments I genuinely believe in. Treatments I would happily have myself. Treatments where I can confidently explain why I recommend them and what I realistically expect them to achieve.

I don’t want everything in my clinic, I only want the best! The standard I set for your face is exactly the same standard I set for my own. 🤍

WHY I LOVE SUNEKOS 🤍

There are a LOT of injectable skin treatments available now, but Sunekos continues to be one of my favourites and there’s a reason for that.

When we talk about skin rejuvenation, we often hear one word over and over again: collagen.

But healthy, youthful skin needs more than collagen.
One of the reasons I love Sunekos is that it works at the level of the extracellular matrix (ECM) which is essentially the structural framework of our skin.

Its patented combination of hyaluronic acid & six specific amino acids stimulates our fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing both new collagen AND elastin.

WHY does elastin matter so much?
Collagen gives our skin strength, structure and support where as elastin gives our skin its stretch, recoil and bounce. And where hyaluronic acid comes in is that it supports hydration & the environment in which these structures function.

As we age, fibroblast activity slows and the quality of our extracellular matrix changes. We produce less collagen and elastin, and this contributes to thinner, crepier skin, fine lines, loss of firmness and reduced elasticity.

Sunekos doesn't add volume but it's job is to support the skin to regenerate its own structural components from within. That’s why I particularly love it for areas where simply adding volume isn't the answer like around the eyes, face, neck and décolletage.

Rather than simply filling a line or adding volume, we're asking the skin to work better.

Over a course of treatments, I see skin gradually become smoother, firmer, more hydrated and more resilient. Fine lines soften, crepey skin can look less crinkled, and the skin develops that healthy, radiant, even glow.

My clients absolutely LOVE this treatment & continue to come back for frequent maintenance sessions, to not only achieve beautiful skin in the present but as a PREVENTATIVE for their future self.

Things 8 years in aesthetics has taught me
When I first started injecting, I thought becoming a great injector was mostly about technique, learning anatomy, perfecting placement, choosing the right product and creating beautiful results.

Eight years later, I realise some of the biggest lessons have had very little to do with the needle.

I’ve learnt that that the relationship between practitioner and patient matters. Communication, trust, expectations and aesthetic philosophy all need to align. Sometimes someone simply isn’t the right fit for me and I’m not the right fit for them. And that’s okay. It’s about finding the people who trust your judgement, understand your approach and want the same kind of outcome.

I’ve learnt that setting expectations is just as important as the treatment itself.
A beautiful result can still feel disappointing when someone expected something that was never realistically achievable. These days I’d rather have the honest conversation before we treat, including saying no when I don’t believe a treatment will give someone what they’re hoping for.

I’ve learnt that conservative doesn’t necessarily mean using the least amount of product possible.
Natural and minimal aren’t the same thing. Sometimes a small amount placed into one area won’t create the improvement someone wants. A more considered approach may mean treating several areas gradually to restore balance and support while still looking completely natural.

Natural is an outcome not a syringe count!!!

And probably one of the biggest changes in my practice has been understanding that injectables are only one part of ageing well.
You can restore structure. You can soften movement. But you can’t inject your way out of poor skin quality.

Pigmentation, texture, fine lines, laxity, scarring and sun damage need their own treatment plan. Skincare, skin treatments and collagen stimulation aren't the finishing touches anymore they're part of the foundation. Beautiful, natural-looking results aren't just about facial structure, healthy, beautiful skin is soooo important too!

Eight years in and I’m still learning and I hope I always will be.🤍
