🌸These before and afters are such a lovely example of what I believe good aesthetic medicine should be about…

🌸Not changing a face.

🌸Not chasing every line.

🌸And certainly not trying to make someone look like somebody else.

As we “grow up”, we naturally lose collagen, fat and structural support through the face. The skin hasn’t suddenly become “the problem”, it simply no longer has the same support underneath it, and is a little “big” for us!

By carefully replacing a little of what has been lost, we can gently restore softness and support while keeping the face looking completely natural, both at rest, smiling and still very much you.

🌸It isn’t about adding what was never there.

🌸It’s about thoughtfully giving back a little of what time has taken away.

Subtle. Considered. You. 🌸

🌸 I’ve been thinking…
Is it really vanity? Or is it sanity?

I caught myself looking in the mirror the other day and thinking, where did she come from?!

Not in a dramatic, “I need to turn back time” kind of way. Just that slightly bewildering moment when the face looking back at you doesn’t quite match the person you still feel like inside.

Because inside, I’m still me…

Still laughing too loudly, often inappropriately lol. Still talking to strangers. Still making plans, riding horses, falling off horses, loving my family fiercely and occasionally wondering what on earth I’m doing!

And yet, somewhere along the way, life has quietly written itself across my face.

The happy bits. The hard bits. The sleepless nights. The worry. The laughter. The years that seemed to pass far more quickly than I remember agreeing to!

I am grateful to be alive, and “growing up”. Truly. I know what a privilege it is.

But I also don’t think gratitude means we must stop caring about how we feel when we look in the mirror.

Perhaps wanting to feel good about ourselves isn’t shallow, and often it’s the little things.

Perhaps making time for ourselves, after years of putting everyone else first, isn’t vanity.

Perhaps it’s simply sanity…🌸

🌸 REGENERATE, DON’T REINVENT
This is why I get so excited about regenerative aesthetics.

This isn’t about filling a hollow or changing the shape of a face. It’s about asking the skin to wake up and start doing some of the work again.

The little dots you can see in the middle photo are part of a controlled treatment designed to stimulate the skin’s natural repair response.

And then… we wait.

🌸Collagen production.
🌸Remodelling.
🌸Tightening.
🌸Stronger, smoother skin.

The final photo shows what I love most about regenerative treatments…the result doesn’t scream “I’ve had something done.”

🌸It simply looks like better skin.

For me, this is where appearance medicine is heading. Less about adding, filling and changing… and much more about restoring, strengthening and regenerating what is already yours.

And I am VERY here for it. 🌸

🌸💋THE BACIO BLUSH & FLIP🌸

This is such a lovely example of lip rejuvenation without adding filler.

The photos show:

🌸Before Bacio
🌸After the first Bacio treatment
🌸One week after the second Bacio treatment, combined with a subtle lip flip

Bacio deeply hydrates and rejuvenates the lips, while Vitamin B12 supports their health and vitality, helping to restore that fresher, naturally rosier colour.

🌸The lip flip gently relaxes the muscle around the upper lip, allowing a little more of the lip to show without adding volume.

The final result is beautifully subtle: softer, smoother, healthier-looking lips with improved colour and just a little more shape.

🌸Not bigger lips. Just fresher, prettier lips that still look completely like her.

The Bacio Blush & Flip lip rejuvenation with a little lift.
$450

🌸BACIO BLUSH & FLIP — 24 HOURS LATER 💋

Yes, the selfie is a little blurry… welcome to the AI FREE ZONE! 😂 But it came with these words:

“My lips feel amazing. They are so soft — worth all the pain. 😂”

🌸I love an honest review!

This is only 24 hours after her first treatment. I can’t wait to see them after treatment two in a fortnight, when her lip flip has fully kicked in too.

Watch this space…🌸🌸🌸

🌸UNDERSTANDING COLLAGEN REGENERATION USING BIOSTIMULATION🌸

From our mid-twenties, the amount of collagen our skin produces naturally begins to decline, and this gradually speeds up with age, sun exposure and lifestyle.

🌸Collagen is essentially the scaffolding beneath our skin. It helps maintain firmness, elasticity, structure and shape. As we produce less of it, we may begin to notice finer, thinner skin, less definition and subtle volume changes through areas such as the cheeks, temples and jawline.

🌸This is where collagen biostimulation is a little different from traditional dermal filler.

Rather than simply adding volume or filling a space, a biostimulator encourages your body to produce more of its own collagen. Over time, the skin gradually becomes firmer, stronger and more supported.

🌸The change isn’t about making you look “filled” or different.

It’s about helping your own skin rebuild some of what time has quietly taken away.

🌸Regenerate…not reinvent.

🌸THE NECK DESERVES ATTENTION TOO…🌸

We often take wonderful care of our faces while the neck is quietly getting on with the business of ageing.

The skin here is thinner, produces less oil and can begin to show crepiness, horizontal lines and laxity earlier than we expect.

Regenerative treatments can help improve hydration, skin density and elasticity, without making the neck look heavy or "filled."

Because sometimes the answer isn't more volume.

It's better-quality skin…
