Yes, they can...

But it’s not injectables themselves that do it, it’s how they’re used!

When treatments are overdone, faces start to lose the very things we associate with youth: expressions become stiff, the skin looks heavy, and certain areas become unnaturally full.

Well-planned injectables work in the opposite direction. There’s strong clinical evidence showing that appropriate anti-wrinkle treatment helps skin age better by reducing repetitive creasing that leads to etched lines, while allowing the face to stay expressive. When fillers are used sparingly and in the right places, they support the structure that naturally fades with time.

The difference is good judgement. Injectables done with a long-term view, respecting facial anatomy and natural movement help people look rested, healthier and more like themselves as they age. Injectables done for quick fixes, trends, or volume for the sake of volume are what lead to faces that start to look older, heavier, and less natural.

More men are choosing aesthetic treatments to feel more confident in their own skin. Looking well-rested, professional and comfortable now matters more than ever, and the stigma around men taking care of themselves is thankfully fading! When men do seek treatment, it’s usually for subtle, low-maintenance results that address specific concerns and still look completely natural. Taking care of your appearance shouldn't be something to hide, it’s part of self-care 🙌

7 in 10 people believe aesthetic treatments can become addictive, and that idea points to something more than the treatments themselves. For many people, aesthetics is tied closely to identity - how they see themselves, how they think others see them, and the pressure to keep up. When the message is always to tweak, refresh, or do a little more, the line between choosing a treatment and relying on it emotionally can start to blur.

The issue isn’t injectables or procedures on their own, but the environment they’re offered in, the conversations that don’t happen, and whether patients are being supported to feel they don't need to be endlessly 'improved'.

Do you agree?

This treatment will help your skin feel younger, firmer, smoother and better supported over time, especially when it starts to feel thinner, drier or less responsive to skincare alone. A fantastic treatment to try in 2026 with Nurse Julie!

The Ogee curve is one of the most important concepts in facial aesthetics. It describes the natural S-shaped contour seen in youthful faces - from the brow, through the cheek, and into the jaw. This curve is what allows light to reflect smoothly across the face, creating a lifted appearance. Swipe to learn more!

When pressure is removed during consultation, people have space to think clearly. They can separate a passing insecurity from a real concern, and a long-term decision from a temporary feeling. That’s usually when confidence starts to settle in, not because something has been changed, but because the choice feels calm and considered 💉

Aesthetic treatments should never feel rushed or uncomfortable. Feeling informed, supported, and in control is non-negotiable here! ☺️

Dermal fillers can do a lot, but like every treatment there are limitations, and having realistic expectations is very important.

🔷 They can’t change skin quality in a significant way. If your main concern is texture, pores, pigmentation or laxity, filler won’t address that.

🔷 They also can’t replace bone loss or significant tissue descent. In more advanced ageing, trying to “fill” sagging areas often leads to heaviness or an overdone look rather than rejuvenation.

🔷 Fillers are limited by anatomy and safety. There are areas where only very small amounts can be used, and others where filler simply isn’t appropriate at all. More product doesn’t equal a better result.

🔷 They’re temporary. Even the longest-lasting fillers break down, so results need maintenance and thoughtful planning over time.

🔷 And finally, fillers can’t override lifestyle or biology. Poor skin health, sun damage, smoking, weight fluctuations and genetics all affect how results look and how long they last.
