The Power of Biostimulation 💉

Biostimulatory injectables offer more than immediate volume restoration — they initiate a cascade of collagen production over time, improving skin quality, structure, and resilience.

In these examples, you can see the impact of collagen stimulation in two areas often affected by volume loss and skin thinning: the jawline and the hands.

As an aesthetic doctor, I believe in a 360° approach to facial and structural rejuvenation — not just chasing lines or volume loss, but supporting the deeper architecture of the skin through collagen activation and thoughtful, individualized planning.

Radiesse is my go-to biostimulatory filler. It is more than just a filler — it’s a long-term investment in your skin’s health and strength. Treatment takes approx 30 mins, minimal downtime and results can last up to 18 months.

When used thoughtfully, biostimulatory treatments like Radiesse can support the skin’s own ability to restore itself — a philosophy that underpins much of my aesthetic work. 👩🏼‍⚕️

Skincare on Ski Trips ⛷

it’s officially Ski Season! It’s one of the best holidays but unfortunately, the harsh weather conditions can play havoc with your skin!

Some tips and advice for anyone heading to the slopes this year:

1. SUNSCREEN - It may be freezing outside but do not be fooled! It is estimated that 85% of the sun’s rays are reflected back from the snow. Also, the higher the altitude, the more UV rays are present.
Opt for a mineral physical sunscreen - you should be able to use this on the eye area without any stinging. Look out for ingredients such as Titanium oxide and Zinc Oxide. I personally love the tinted sunscreen from (UV defence mineral SPF).
Reapply every 2-3 hours and be careful to apply on areas that may have previously been covered with hats, masks etc.
Powder and spray sunscreens are useful for top-ups during Apres ski!

2. Anti-oxidants - Use anti-oxidants AM and PM while on ski trips. In the morning, think of an antioxidant as a helpful sidekick to your SPF. Impressively, anti-oxidants can boost your SPF protection. In the evenings, an anti-oxidant will neutralise nasty free radicals generated during the day
3. Lip balm - Protect those lips with SPF and use a lip balm rich in ceramides or urea for extra hydration.

4. Avoid windburn by covering exposed skin with a neck warmer or balaclava. do the best ones!

5. Swap your gel cleanser for a hydrating cream-based cleanser.

Most importantly, enjoy the slopes, drink lots of hot wine and above all else, pack that sunscreen!

All this patient wanted was a slightly enhancement of the sides of her upper lips.
So many patients are terrified that even a slight enhancement will look noticeable but this just isn’t the case.

The right product, for the right person, injected in the right areas will always look natural 👌🏼

Have you an active cleanser in your routine?

In my opinion, most people should alternate between two cleansers in their weekly skincare routine, a gentle cleanser and an active cleanser.

A gentle cleanser should be used 60-70% of the time and it’s primary roles are to gentle clean the skin, remove make up and remove excess oil or grime from the surface of the skin.

An active cleanser contains an exfoliating acid, either an alpha or beta hydroxy acid to be exact. These cleansers should be used 30-40% of the time depending on your skin type. This type of cleanser will give your skin a deeper cleanse and will also offer a mild degree of exfoliation.
There are many different acids found in active cleansers. The most commonly found acids are:

1. Salicylic acid based cleansers- acne prone skin will benefit from these type of cleansers. Salicylic acid will decongest pores and offer an anti-inflammatory benefit to the skin.
2. Glycolic acid based cleansers - this acid is a great addition to most skin types. It’s anti-ageing benefits help to exfoliate the skin, delivering a brighter complexion.
3. Lactic acid based cleansers- great option for pregnant women or those with very sensitive skin.

I couldn’t believe how many messages I received when I posted this before/after on my stories during the summer.

This was a 30 minute transformation I performed for a lovely lady during one of my training sessions for .pro. She told me she would love slightly more definition along her jawline, without looking unnatural,so that’s exactly what we did.

These results will last up to 18 months and the patient had little to zero downtime. 👩🏼‍⚕️

If you’ve been travelling a lot this summer, you may have experienced dehydrated skin after flights or long periods in a warmer climate.

I often find myself reaching for a hydrating mask to help combat these issues. Currently, I love the hydrating b5 masque by . I apply it for 10-15 minutes post cleansing to give my skin an instant boost of hydration. I will also use a hydrating mask on the day of an event to ensure my skin appears as dewy as possible✨
