✨ MICRONEEDLING ISN’T NEW TO ME — THE TECHNOLOGY HAS EVOLVED. ✨
Today I joined a really interesting webinar with Dr Shih Chen Tai (Dr James) from Taiwan, looking at the changing direction of aesthetics and demonstrating Dermapen 4 alongside treatments such as Radiesse.
It really resonated with me because improving skin quality has been part of my practice for many years.
I first started microneedling around 2010, initially using Dermaroller and later progressing to the Raffine machine. So the concept of stimulating the skin and improving texture has been part of my treatments for well over a decade.
I've also been using Profhilo for around 5 years . I completed my training in Structura, another exciting addition to my skin-quality treatments.
With injectables, I predominantly use the Merz range of dermal fillers, and I absolutely believe there is still a place for filler. Restoring structure and replacing volume can give beautiful, natural results when it is the right treatment for the individual.
I’ve also used Radiesse over the years, but I wanted to develop my knowledge further before incorporating it more extensively into my practice. Last year I undertook additional training in hyperdiluted Radiesse, which is now another option for selected clients.
For me, aesthetics has never been about simply adding more.
It’s about looking at the whole face and asking:
“What does this person actually need?”
Sometimes that is filler.
Sometimes it is skin stimulation.
Sometimes it is a combination.
And sometimes, the best advice is not to add more filler.
There is a lot of conversation on social media at the moment about the “over-filled” face. I don't think the answer is to become anti-filler — I think it's about having more options, more knowledge and choosing the right treatment for the right person.
And that's why I'm excited to now be offering Dermapen 4.
A
treatment focused on improving the appearance of skin texture, pores, firmness and overall skin quality, while supporting the skin’s natural regenerative processes.
