Read moreAs an NMC Registered Nurse I am duty bound to continue my education to ensure the efficacy and safety of the treatments I provide. Therefore I was delighted when Italian dermal filler manufacturer, IBSA, invited me to Milan for a Masterclass in the latest advancements in hyaluronic acid dermal fillers and the techniques developed to ensure a great result. Of course it was also a great opportunity to meet with other medical expert practitioners from around the globe.
Read moreThis is a little different from my usual blog items. Instead of preserving and caring for the skin, I want to chat preserving and caring for the planet! It’s no longer just a “hippy movement” but a real change that is needed from each and every one of us! Those hippies were right all along!
I haven’t made a new years resolution this year, but a decade resolution, and it is this: To TRY HARDER! To take a moment of consideration in each of the actions I make and consider “could I try harder at making this item/action/impact better for the planet”.

So let’s get real here for a minute. You want actual skin changes and improvements right? Then I am so sorry to say that you need to forget about those lovely, relaxing, oil -laden facials that we all love so much. Yes that’s right! Even I am a sucker for a bit of a pamper, and absolutely if this is what you are looking to achieve from a facial by all means do so. The relaxation alone does actually have skin positive effects. But if you want your facial to focus on improving the health and function of the skin, and ultimately the fresher appearance of it, then you need to look to medi-facials. And regularly!

The media often plays a role in the confusion around what a Botox treatment is and what a dermal filer treatment is; mis-reporting adverse events to sensationalise the very rare times when a treatment doesn't quite go to plan, and not even using the correct terminology to describe what the treatment was.
