Then & Now 🤍

It was such a joy catching up with my lovely friend Sarah Baptist yesterday at the Nurses Network meeting — how far we’ve come since this photo at the Mauricio de Maio roadshow last year!

These side-by-side snapshots tell a story of growth, grit and genuine friendship. From sitting in the audience soaking up knowledge to now standing tall in our own clinics, navigating the challenges, celebrating the wins, and supporting one another every step of the way.

Sarah hosted yesterday’s meeting in her stunning space, , and it couldn’t have been more inspiring. The Nurses Network is a space for medical professionals in aesthetics to connect, share experiences, and collaborate — and yesterday’s discussions were filled with energy, support and real conversations about the evolving landscape of our industry.
It’s a reminder that we’re not just surviving — we’re thriving. And doing it together. 💪🏽💉💫

🧴 Our Top 3 Tips to Prevent Premature Lines & Wrinkles 👇

Let’s be honest — when it comes to skin ageing, prevention is everything. Here are our top three clinically-backed tips to help you protect your skin and slow down those fine lines:

✨ 1. SPF. Every. Single. Day.
UV exposure is the number one cause of premature ageing — even in the UK. Wearing a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily is non-negotiable (yes, even when it’s cloudy).

🥦 2. Antioxidants Are Your Allies
Topical antioxidants like Vitamin C help defend against environmental damage and oxidative stress — both major contributors to collagen breakdown.

💤 3. Sleep, Hydration & Skin Barrier TLC
Poor sleep, dehydration, and over-exfoliating can all accelerate skin ageing. Support your skin barrier with gentle, hydrating products and get those 7–8 hours in.

✨ Bonus Tip? Start prevention early — not when the lines appear. Prevention is more effective (and cost-efficient) than correction.

📦 We’ve got our favourite medical-grade SPF in stock at the clinic — pop in or DM us to reserve yours. Your future self will thank you.

That moment you’re sat in a prestigious hospital, surrounded by medics, and realise your years of advanced anatomy training and real-world clinical experience have really paid off.

Not here to call anyone out — but when something doesn’t quite align, you spot it. Because safe, ethical, evidence-based practice has to start with a solid understanding of anatomy.

🧠 Never stop learning. But also, don’t downplay what you already know.

Another day, another train... 🚂 This time to Moorfields for a specialist Botox course in medical treatments like hemifacial spasm.
The twist? I booked it before I left ACES, where I’ve been treating this for the last 10 years.
Now I’m attending for... character development? 😅

Bruise? Yep.
Regret? Not a chance.

This is my before and 2 weeks after from a brand new treatment I’ve just added to the clinic — and honestly, I’m blown away by the change in my under-eye skin.
🙌 Smoother, firmer, fresher… and no filter needed.
Even treated by one of the top doctors in the UK, bruising can happen — it’s part and parcel of injectable treatments sometimes. But the results? So worth it.

Can you guess what treatment I’ve had? 👀💉(Hint: It’s injectable, bio-stimulating, and a total game-changer for skin quality.)

✨ What Is The Perfect Peel?
The Perfect Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that gives your skin a powerful refresh — helping to brighten, smooth, and rejuvenate your complexion in just one treatment.
It’s one of the only peels in the UK that contains Glutathione – a super-antioxidant that helps fight ageing from the inside out.

💫 What Skin Concerns Can It Help With?
✔️ Pigmentation & sun damage
✔️ Acne and acne scarring
✔️ Fine lines & wrinkles
✔️ Dull, tired skin
✔️ Uneven skin tone & texture
✔️ Large pores
✔️ Melasma (in some cases, with a treatment plan)

🧪 What’s Inside The Perfect Peel?
Each ingredient is chosen to target specific skin concerns:
🔹 Glutathione – A powerful antioxidant that reduces inflammation, brightens the skin, and slows signs of ageing.
🔹 TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) – Helps resurface the skin by encouraging cell turnover and collagen production.
🔹 Retinoic Acid – Boosts cell renewal and helps fade pigmentation and acne marks.
🔹 Salicylic Acid – Deep-cleans pores and reduces oil, great for acne-prone skin.
🔹 Kojic Acid – Helps lighten sun spots and pigmentation.
🔹 Phenol – Enhances deeper pe*******on of the peel and has antimicrobial properties.
🔹 Vitamin C – Brightens and protects against environmental damage.

⏱ What to Expect After Treatment
* Day 1–2: Skin may feel tight or slightly red
* Day 3–5: Peeling begins — like a mild sunburn flake
* Day 6–7: Fresh, glowing skin starts to appear
* Full results: Visible after 7–10 days
(Note: Peeling varies from person to person – some peel a lot, some very little. Both are normal!)

📌 Important to Know
* A full consultation is required before treatment
* Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding
* SPF and aftercare are essential for best results
* Can be repeated every 4–6 weeks for more intensive results or used as a one-off refresh

I was talking to my husband this morning about some recent events, and he came up with an analogy that really got me thinking… GLADIATORS Not in the Hollywood, slow-motion battle kind of way—but in the sense of people being paraded around as powerful, when in fact, they’re trapped in a system themselves. It hit a nerve.

Some organisations mistake aggression for strength. The CEO storms around like a corporate gladiator—loud, bullish, full of bravado. You know the type. I call it c**k waggling. They believe fear is a leadership tool, not a red flag.

And guess what? That energy trickles down. Managers beneath them learn to copy and paste the same behaviour—treating Karen from reception like she started the fall of Rome. They see staff as worker ants: easily replaced, rarely respected, never heard. The culture becomes one of survival, not growth. People leave, morale drops, innovation dies—but hey, as long as the numbers look good on paper, right?

But here’s the twist: these so-called gladiators, pounding their chests in meetings, aren’t free either.
They’ve mistaken brutality for leadership, and no one’s told them they’re in a gilded cage.
A cage built from big salaries, golden handcuffs, and the gnawing fear that they wouldn’t survive outside it.
It’s a kind of imposter syndrome dressed up as dominance.
Loud on the outside. Quietly panicked within.

True leadership doesn’t roar. It listens. It builds. It empowers.
It understands that people aren’t dispensable—they’re the whole damn business.

So if you find yourself in an organisation where hierarchy is weaponised and respect is optional… remember: even gladiators bled.
And remember this:
You have transferable skills.
You are valuable.
You are worthy.

Either work for yourself or go and find a company that knows how to treat its most valuable commodity: you.

I’ve been incredibly lucky in that I work for some phenomenally supportive companies and it means I can easily distance myself from those whose behaviour is more aligned with Ancient Rome. For that, I’m very grateful.

☁️ Why You Still Need Sunscreen on Rainy Days ☂️

Just because the sun isn’t shining doesn’t mean UV rays aren’t reaching your skin! Up to 80% of UV rays can still pe*****te clouds — meaning your skin is still at risk of premature ageing, pigmentation, and long-term damage, even when it’s grey and drizzly.

Think of sunscreen as daily skin insurance — not just for summer, but all year round. Rain or shine, your future self will thank you!

🧴 Tip: Choose a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ and make it the final step in your morning routine.
