This is the kind of before and after I love because nothing is screaming “I’ve had something done”… but the whole face looks fresher.

What I’m looking at here isn’t just “more volume”.

The biggest change is support.

There’s better structure through the lower face, the chin looks more balanced with the profile, and the transition from cheek to jaw feels cleaner. Even from the front, the face looks a little more rested and proportionate without changing what makes her look like her.

This is where good treatment planning matters.

It’s really easy to look at one area and think “that needs filler”, but faces don’t work in isolation. The chin, lips, cheeks and jaw all affect how each other look. Sometimes improving support in one area makes another area look better without treating it heavily at all.

And that’s always the goal for me.

Not to chase every line.
Not to fill every hollow.
Not to make the face look “done”.

Just work with the anatomy that’s already there, improve balance where it makes sense, and keep the result believable.

Subtle doesn’t mean nothing changed.

Sometimes subtle is exactly why it looks so good.

What if I told you that after treatments like Moxi or microneedling, your skin first creates a quick repair framework with type III collagen, then over months remodels it into stronger type I collagen?
The appointment starts the process, but the real collagen building happens in the months afterward, which is why treatments are spaced out.

Skin booster has become a bit of a catch-all term.

But what’s actually being put into the skin, and what we’re trying to achieve with it, can be very different.

Swipe and I’ll break it down without the marketing jargon

This is probably the question I get asked most.

“Which one is the best?”

There isn’t one.

The better question is: what does your skin actually need?

Think hydration!

Hyaluronic acid attracts and holds water, so these treatments can be useful when skin is looking dehydrated, dull or a little crepey.

Not about changing your face. More about improving the quality of the skin itself.

This is where it gets interesting.

Collagen isn’t just something we can tell the skin to “make more of.”

Your fibroblasts need the raw materials to build it, including specific amino acids.

Different approach. Different job.

Think of it like giving the builders the materials 🔨

Amino-acid based treatments provide substrates involved in collagen synthesis.

Your cells still have to do the building.

This is why I look at these treatments very differently from something designed primarily to hydrate.

Probably one of the most talked-about categories right now.

Polynucleotides interact with the skin’s repair environment and are being used with the aim of improving skin quality, hydration and tissue remodelling.

They’re not simply another version of hyaluronic acid.

And that distinction matters.

This is where the consultation matters.

Dehydration, crepiness, texture, elasticity, collagen loss and structural changes aren’t the same problem.

So I’m not choosing from a “best to worst” list.

I’m choosing based on what I see in your skin.

If you’ve been comparing skin boosters by name, start comparing them by what they actually do instead.

Tell me what you’re trying to improve and I’ll tell you which type of treatment I’d be thinking about 👇

These are medical treatments, not just fancy facials.

They come with risks, benefits and suitability considerations, which is exactly why assessment matters.

Education first. Treatment second.

Kinda chic… but also kinda my entire treatment philosophy.
Looking like yourself. Having expression. Keeping the features that make you, you. Looking after your skin. Knowing when to treat and, probably more importantly, when not to.
I’m not here to chase every line, shadow or tiny asymmetry.
The goal isn’t to stop ageing. It’s to work with your face as it changes, make thoughtful choices along the way and have people thinking you look really good without quite knowing why.
Ageing well? Very chic actually. 🤍

Acne scarring is a long game.
When I assess progress, I’m looking at the depth of the scars, how sharp or softened the edges are, the shadowing they create and how even the skin surface is becoming.
Acne scars form when inflammation damages collagen within the dermis. Treatment is about creating controlled stimulation within the skin to trigger a wound healing response and encourage new collagen formation and remodelling.
That process happens slowly. Collagen continues to reorganise over time, which is why results are gradual rather than immediate.
Scars rarely disappear completely. The aim is to make them shallower, softer and less noticeable as the skin remodels.
This is progress, and there’s still more to come.

Retinol vs retinal vs prescription: which one should you actually be using?
Your skin can only use one form of vitamin A. It’s called retinoic acid, and almost nothing on the shelf is retinoic acid.
Retinol is two conversions away. Retinal is one. Prescription is already there, which is why it’s prescription.
Every conversion loses a little along the way, and that’s the whole reason for the difference in strength. So a gentle retinol taking its time isn’t doing nothing. It’s doing chemistry first.
How to start retinol without wrecking your skin: two nights a week, and build slowly. Pacing is the reason most people decide retinol doesn’t suit them, when it would have suited them fine.
Pregnant or breastfeeding? Retinoids usually come out of the routine for a while. Bakuchiol is the common alternative. Check with your midwife or doctor.
Save this for when you’re next standing in the skincare aisle.💾

I spent last Friday at Aesthetic AU, and I came away with more questions than answers.
That might sound strange, but I actually think that’s the point.
One of the things I value most about conferences like this isn’t learning a new technique. It’s having your thinking challenged.
Listening to respected practitioners from around the world explain why they approach the same problem differently reminds you that there isn’t always one “right” answer. There are different philosophies, different experiences, and different ways of achieving a good outcome.
It forces you to think critically, question your own habits, and ask yourself not just how you do something, but why.
I don’t ever want to practise on autopilot or assume there’s nothing left to learn. The day we stop questioning ourselves is probably the day we stop growing.
I’m looking forward to taking these ideas back into clinic and continuing to refine the care I provide. Always learning. Always improving.

This one catches a lot of people out. When skin looks dull or starts reacting, the instinct is to reach for something stronger. More often than not, that makes it worse.
Your barrier is the layer that holds moisture in and keeps irritation out. Overload it with actives and it wears down, and then skin looks flat and feels reactive no matter what you layer on.
The answer is usually to do less for a while. Cleanse, moisturise, SPF, and let it settle. Then build back slowly.
Have you ever had skin go reactive on you out of nowhere?
