The power of good skincare & regular IPL treatments ⚡️⁣
⁣
Pigmentation doesn’t just “appear” on the skin, it’s the result of overactive melanocytes.⁣
⁣
Melanocytes are specialised cells in the basal layer of the epidermis. Their job is to produce melanin (pigment) as a natural form of protection against UV damage. In a healthy rhythm, this process is controlled and balanced. But when melanocytes are overstimulated and triggered by UV exposure, hormones, heat, inflammation, or injury to the skin, they can start producing irregular, excess pigment. This shows up as sun spots, post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or uneven tone.⁣
⁣
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) works by targeting that excess melanin. The light energy is absorbed by the pigment, heating it up and breaking it down into smaller particles that the body can then naturally clear away. What’s clever is that the surrounding skin remains unharmed. IPL is selective, focusing only on pigmented clusters - I use the .ai.uk_ire versa device! 💡
⁣
But it’s not just about fading dark spots. IPL also stimulates collagen production, reduces vascular redness, and improves overall skin quality. That’s why, in this result, you can see not only a drastic reduction in pigmentation, but also refined texture and a healthier, more radiant complexion.⁣
⁣
This is skin that isn’t just clearer, it’s functioning better & NOW is the time for IPL whilst we’re hitting autumn & winter 🍂💡

what I eat in a day as a girl who is trying to heal her acne 🫐🥬🧀🍇🍐⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Healing your skin doesn’t need to feel restrictive! In fact, the key is diversity 🔑⁣⁣
⁣⁣
When we give our bodies a wide range of nutrients, we give our skin the building blocks it needs to repair, protect, and glow.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Make cooking a fun part of your journey. A chance to play with new ingredients, explore different flavours, and make eating exciting again. The more variety you bring eat, the more your skin (and the rest of your body) will thrive.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Clients, if you like these posts… I have something coming 👀⁣

Things I want you to know, as your skin specialist 🤗

18/08/2025

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that shows up differently for everyone. It often presents as facial redness, visible vessels, flushing, or acne like breakouts (evens acne-rosacea is a possibility) and is commonly triggered by things like stress, heat, alcohol, spicy foods, and even certain skincare ingredients, along with certain gut abnormalities, pregnancy and so forth. It’s not something we can cure, but it is something we can manage very effectively with the right approach.⁣
⁣
For this client, the focus was on calming inflammation and strengthening the skin barrier before jumping into anything advanced. We kept her routine extremely simple with Dermaviduals and Osmosis to repair and protect the skin on a daily basis. Alongside this, we introduced BYONIK laser sessions, which work to reduce inflammation, oxygenate the tissue and support cellular repair. Only once her skin was stable and strong did we move onto Venus Versa IPL using a dual of my 515 & 580 wave lengths, which targets the visible redness and vessels directly.⁣
⁣
The key with rosacea is patience, consistency, and not rushing into aggressive treatments too soon. When you build the skin up first, you get far better, longer lasting results which is certainly something that’s been achieved here. ⁣
⁣
My client is going to continue regular treatments to further her results even more but we’re very happy to have gotten her rosacea under control. Our focus now will be hydrating and refining the overall skin health.⁣

When this client first came to me, she was struggling with a combination of cystic and nodular acne, painful, deep rooted inflammation that doesn’t just sit on the surface, it disrupts the skin barrier, driving long term inflammation, and often leading to scarring.⁣
⁣
i didn’t dive into aggressive treatments straight away, that would’ve been like throwing fuel on the fire. Instead, we focused on repairing the skin barrier, reducing internal triggers, and creating consistency with products that support not strip the skin ❤️‍🩹⁣
⁣
Once the inflammation had calmed and her skin had become more resilient, we shifted our focus to addressing the scarring using carefully selected treatments that work with the skins healing processes, not against them.⁣
⁣
These results are because she stayed committed & what I love the most is that even during a recent break from treatments, her skin has continued to improve. That tells me we’ve built a foundation, not just achieved a ‘result’ 🙏🏻⁣
⁣
This is what long term skin health looks like. It’s not quick. It’s not trendy. It’s strategic, science based, and in the clinic, it’s personal to you, always! 😌

Consistency ⏰⁣
⁣⁣
Let’s talk about it.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
These photos are nearly 4 years apart.⁣⁣ I took the latest one at my client’s annual SkinPen top up because she’s been maintaining her results, year after year (since 2022!)
⁣⁣
Here’s what most people don’t realise: real skin change doesn’t happen overnight and I have this conversation often. ⁣
⁣⁣
Skin operates on cycles. It takes around 4–6 weeks just for a full epidermal turnover. Deeper changes, like collagen remodelling, calming inflammation, or repairing the barrier, can take 3–6 months minimum.⁣
⁣⁣
So no, you won’t see dramatic results after one treatment, a few products, or one good week (even month!)⁣
⁣⁣
But if you keep showing up? One day you’ll look in the mirror or see a photo and think:⁣
“When did my skin get this good?” 😉
⁣⁣
Because results don’t appear all at once. They build slowly, and then show up all of a sudden.⁣
⁣⁣
And here’s the key: once you get those results, you have to keep nurturing them.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The habits that helped you heal are the same ones that keep your skin resilient. Consistency has to become part of your lifestyle, not just your treatment plan.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
That’s when results become sustainable. That’s when skin really thrives 🤍

This client came to me with persistent acne that hadn’t responded to conventional methods. Instead of focusing solely on topical treatments, we took a functional, root cause approach, as I do with all of my clients! ⁣
⁣
We identified personal triggers such as hormonal fluctuations, stress patterns, and some dietary factors and began to implement realistic lifestyle and nutritional changes. The key word here is realistic 😜⁣
⁣
This wasn’t about cutting out certain food groups for long term or following rigid rules (unless it was a clear and obvious trigger). It was about understanding the body’s signals, supporting the skin from the inside out, and removing the fear around flare-ups.⁣
⁣
Progress like this happens when you:⁣
• Address the why, not just the what⁣
• Make sustainable shifts, not extremes⁣
• Learn how to work with your skin, not against it⁣
⁣
Results aren’t just about what you apply, they’re about how you live, fuel, and support your system over time.⁣
⁣
Over the moon to have received these photos & proud of my client for staying so consistent during the ebbs and flows of healing acne 🤍

Caught in my element, prepping the treatment bed, clinic vibes playlist on (if you know you know!), mindset calm. ⁣
⁣
I feel so proud of the space I’ve built, the treatments I’ve refined, the brands I’ve partnered with, and the incredible clients I get to support every day. It’s taken time, graft, investment, and a lot of behind the scenes figuring it out & a little bit of winging it 🤪 ⁣
⁣
I feel so grateful to have found a job that not only fulfils me, but genuinely completes me. This work is more than skin deep. It’s purpose, it’s connection, and it’s where I feel most myself.⁣
⁣
This photo also reminded me how far things have come in just a few years and how easy it is to forget that when you’re in it whilst always chasing the next goal or feeling like you aren’t doing enough! ⁣
⁣
So here’s your gentle nudge: don’t compare your day 1 to someone else’s years. We all start somewhere, usually with nerves, limited budget, and a big vision (or a lil bit of delulu 😂) Keep showing up, it adds up in ways you won’t always see right away.⁣

Just some breakfast, lunch & dinner ideas that I tend to have on rotation 😌⁣
⁣
Many of my clients always ask what I tend to eat, I do stick to trying to get plenty of protein and fat in but also prioritising fibre intake and switching up the fibre sources regularly too. I never restrict myself, I enjoy homemade indulgent meals such as the pie on the odd occasion. I love food & restricting yourself can do more damage than just eating the damn food (within reason of course especially if you have intolerances or some gut issues occurring!) food is to be shared and enjoyed :)
⁣
Diversity is really important for skin health, I find salads are great for chucking loads of random stuff in. I tend to use spinach, rocket, kale & watercress as a base but also herbs such as parsley, dill and mint are great additions! As well as different grains and pulses! ⁣
⁣
Main thing is don’t overcomplicate it! I love recipes from…⁣ (a few of them are from her!) | (the steak is from Brie & I love her others too!! 😍) & of course, as always ❤️
