My hands are making me look old! 👐

It’s a common area we forget to care for—especially when it comes to sunscreen, vitamin C, retinoids, and moisturiser!

We spend so much time focusing on our faces, but our hands (and other areas) are also visible and can tell our age.

I see so much pigmentation on patients' right hands and cheeks, especially from driving, so don’t forget to apply SPF at the very least if you're out and about. Protecting all areas of your skin will help keep your youthful glow! 🌞

Are you thinking about booking an aesthetic treatment?

If you have an upcoming consultation with an aesthetics practitioner, here are the top questions you should ask before deciding whether to proceed with treatment.

And remember, trust your instincts. If something doesn’t feel right, there’s often a reason. Don’t be afraid to politely walk away if you’re unsure.

Doing your research beforehand is essential:

🔸 Choose a qualified medical practitioner (doctor, dentist, nurse) in a reputable clinic (avoid home-based treatments).

🔸 Ensure they are honest, transparent and professional from the very beginning.

Your safety is the top priority. Stay informed and make confident decisions! 💖

Winter sunshine is glorious, but don't be fooled – your skin still needs some TLC! ❄️☀️

The cold air can leave it feeling dry and tight, and even though the sun feels weaker, those UV rays are still sneaky.

So, grab that SPF, layer up the moisturiser, and keep your skin hydrated. Plus, who says we can't enjoy a bit of sunshine in a cosy hat?

💡 Skincare Truth: Not all expensive products are created equal!

While some high-end products are worth the price tag because of their top-notch formulation and strong evidence, don’t assume that price equals better.

If a product is well-formulated and has proven results, it’s often worth the investment - retinol, vitamin C, or something else.

But if a product doesn’t have the solid science and ingredients to back it up, you might be better off saving your pennies and opting for something that truly delivers results.

It’s all about the formulation and evidence, not just the price!

That being said, if you LOVE it and can afford it... then go for it!

Do you know what type or brand of filler you've had? 🤔

There are many different brands and ingredients in dermal fillers, and they all behave differently.

Some are harder to dissolve, and some don’t dissolve at all.

Some offer more longevity or structural support.

Some can be bought from places like Amazon 😩 or Instagram 🤬, and others from reputable pharmacies.

You should always know what is being injected into your face. If your practitioner doesn't provide this information, ask!

Ask to see the box and remember the brand. It could make all the difference if any issues arise later.

Your safety is so important - don’t hesitate to ask the right questions!

Preventing infection is crucial for injectables and skin treatments, and it all starts with a thorough cleansing.

We use Clinisept, a hypochlorous solution that helps sanitise the skin before any procedure. Hypochlorous solution is excellent as it’s gentle on the skin yet effective in killing bacteria, helping to maintain a clean environment during treatments.

As an anaesthetist working in intensive care during the early days of COVID, infection control is second nature to me! I’ve been trained to manage sick patients and prevent the spread of infection, which is why it’s always my top priority when performing treatments. Your safety and health come first!

And you can do your part too! Come to your appointment makeup-free if possible, and after your treatment, keep those hands away from the treated areas for as long as possible.

I always advise using a clean pillowcase, towel, flannel, etc., but that’s just because I’m super cautious! 😊

Do you need an eye cream?

The answer is both yes and no.

Your regular moisturiser often works just fine for basic hydration. However, if your moisturiser contains active ingredients or high concentrations of specific actives, it might be too intense for the delicate skin around your eyes. In this case, an eye-specific cream could be a better option.

If you have targeted concerns like wrinkles, pigmentation, or puffiness, specialised eye creams are designed to address these issues without causing irritation.

Ultimately, whether you need an eye cream depends on the products you're using and your skincare goals.

As the new year begins, it’s important to stay informed and make safe choices when considering cosmetic treatments.

Here are some common red flags to watch for:

❌ Discounts on Prescription-Only Medication (POM).
This is not only unethical but illegal.

❌ Time-limited offers.
These create pressure to book quickly, even if the treatment isn’t right for you.

❌ Buy one, get one free filler deals.
What if you don’t actually need the extra filler? Will you have it anyway because it’s free?

❌ Celebrity look-alike packages.
A “Taylor” package won’t make you look like her. Genetics play a far greater role than cosmetics, or even surgery, ever will.

This year, prioritise safety, ethics, and treatments designed for you, not gimmicks or false promises. 💉✨
