Happy International Nurses Day 💚

18 years in since I qualified. Nursing taught me compassion, resilience, accountability, and the power of really listening - values I bring into my clinic.

Although my path has evolved into aesthetics, the foundation remains the same: clinical assessment, safe practice, and patient care.

As aesthetic nurses, we are still registered nurses - using our skills, judgement, and compassion in every consultation and every treatment.

To my fellow nurses everywhere: thank you for the care you give when no one’s watching. You are extraordinary.

With love,
Cath | Registered Nurse

Let me cut through the noise for you, because I get asked about this all the time, and I know you’re seeing it on every other influencer post now (“my skin transformed in a week!” etc) 👀

Here’s the truth:

Collagen supplements are NOT a magic anti-ageing fix. They do not replace basic skincare or treatments.

When you take them, your body breaks them down into amino acids - then uses them wherever it needs.

So it’s not:
“Take collagen → goes straight to your face”

It’s:
“Take collagen → building blocks → body decides what to do with them”

Some studies show small improvements in skin hydration and elasticity with consistent use (8–12+ weeks), particularly with hydrolysed (broken down, easier to absorb) collagen… but results are subtle and not comparable to in-clinic treatments.

Also - your body needs the basics to even start to make collagen:
Vitamin C, enough protein, and overall good nutrition.
Without that, you’re already on the back foot.

So before spending £££, focus on what’s actually proven to work:

✔️ SPF (prevents collagen breakdown)
✔️ Medical-grade skincare
✔️ Treatments that stimulate collagen (microneedling / skin boosters)
✔️ A consistent, protein-rich diet

If you still want to take collagen as a little bonus - that’s fine. Just manage your expectations.

What matters more than the brand:

• Hydrolysed collagen (easier to absorb)
• Adequate dose (around 2.5–10g daily)
• Consistency (weeks, not days)
• Vitamin C intake
• Overall protein

“Hydrolysed” just means it’s been broken down so your body can absorb it — it doesn’t mean it targets your skin.

There are loads on the market… some better than others.

But my key message here is that…
> no supplement replaces the basics <

Focus on what actually works.

As always… Finesse over hype 🤍
