If you’re wanting to lift your brows, you must have some movement in your forehead.

All the time patients say they want to lift their brows and ‘freeze’ their forehead. I’m here to tell you, that unfortunately you can’t have your cake and eat it too!

Our brows can only lift if our forehead is able to pull them up. If you want absolute zero forehead movement, your brows are going to have to stay where they are.

Understanding of how your facial muscles interact is essential knowledge for your practitioner to possess - not only so they can provide you the result you’re seeking, but so they don’t waste your time and money performing treatments that can’t actually work on you.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this video!

If you’ve ever lost a deposit because something outside your control happened, you know how frustrating that feels.

Shift workers, parents of young kids, people managing unpredictable health, energy or schedules - my memberships were thought of with these people in mind. One of the key perks is the ability to cancel or reschedule last minute without penalty. It creates breathing room for real life.

Members do not pay per-appointment deposits. Your membership fee is processed weekly, fortnightly or monthly, and that amount returns to your account as credit to use on future treatments.

There are three tiers depending on your needs, each including:
• Account credit equal to your membership payment
• Priority booking access during busy periods
• Retail product discounts (tier dependent)
• Product samples
• A complimentary birthday upgrade
And other perks

Memberships are structured to support budgeting. Many patients prefer spreading their treatment investment across the year, rather than paying larger amounts at once.

If flexibility is important to you, this model may suit you better than booking casually and risking forfeited deposits.

You can view the full breakdown of tiers in my previous post. If you have specific questions, send me a message and I’ll walk you through whether it’s appropriate for you.

If you’re someone who already comes in or purchases my retail product regularly, this might make things easier.

I’ve created NDI Memberships for clients who prefer to spread their treatment investment out over time, rather than thinking about it in larger lump sums.

Each tier is broken down into weekly, fortnightly or monthly payments and provides monthly in-clinic credit, whilst receiving a few additional inclusions as a thank you for your ongoing trust in my care.

GOLD- $350/month
$350 monthly in-clinic credit
10% off retail

SILVER - $200/month
$200 monthly in-clinic credit
5% off retail

BRONZE - $100/month
$100 monthly in-clinic credit

Across all tiers:
• 1 complimentary pamper treatment per fully paid month (face, neck or hands)
• Product samples
• Appointment flexibility, including exemption from late cancellations
• 1 birthday treatment upgrade

Credit accumulates and does not expire.
All services remain subject to clinical assessment and suitability. Membership does not guarantee a specific treatment.

Payment processing fees apply and are outlined in the Full Terms & Conditions, which are available on my website.

If you’re unsure which tier makes sense for you, we can discuss it during your next in person or video consultation.

Attention brides:

If you’re considering aesthetic treatment before your wedding, timing is more complex than most people realise.

Different treatments operate on different biological timelines. Some require trial before you know whether they suit you. Others need staged appointments and months of building before visible change occurs. Many involve recovery that cannot be predicted to the exact day.

Strategic event preparation means allowing enough time for results to develop, and enough margin for your body to respond in its own way.

If you’re planning ahead, book an in-person or virtual consultation with me via the link in my bio, to discuss your options and map out an appropriate timeline.

2026 has clarified something for me.

I don’t just want to be technically excellent in this industry. I want my business to feel aligned.

What this actually means in practice is acknowledging not everyone walks into a cosmetic consultation with the same motivations, expectations, or relationship to their appearance.

For some people, aesthetic decisions are straightforward. For others - particularly those neurodivergent, q***r, navigating stigma, or working in unconventional roles - the experience can be layered.

There can be:
• heightened self-awareness
• long histories of masking
• complex relationships with visibility and self
• fear of judgement
• discomfort in service-based spaces
• uncertainty whether a desire is internally driven or socially conditioned

That requires a different kind of consultation.
It requires patience and nuance. It requires the ability to sit in complexity without rushing to a solution, or suggesting a “right” way to present.

In my practice, assessment isn’t just anatomical. It’s contextual.

We can explore your motivations carefully.
We can differentiate your preferences from external pressures.
We can talk about identity and expression, not just symmetry or proportion.

Sometimes goals are about alignment, rather than perfecting.

Sometimes they contradict what is generally acceptable at a societal level.

My conduct in clinic is intentionally structured to support people whose internal experience of the world is not always simple or linear.

If this message resonates, I would love to meet you or have a chat 🤍

Most people think of filler dissolving as a backup plan, in cases where they don’t like their result, they get sick of their results, or their filler migrates - but it’s not a backup plan.

When people choose to have filler treatments, they’re not just choosing the product or to add volume to their face. They are also choosing the medical reality that reversal may not be straightforward, risk free, or even appropriate.

If you have a history of significant allergies, especially to things like bee stings, that isn’t a small detail to just be brushed over. It significantly changes your risk profile. And if filler dissolving carries its own potential for allergic reaction, that needs to be a part of decision-making before you even sit in the chair.

It’s important to remember that Cosmetic medicine is still medicine. It often involves prescription substances, emergency protocols, anaphylaxis risk, and practitioner accountability.

The annoying truth for anyone seeking filler: if dissolving isn’t safe safely available to you, you should not be comfortable proceeding and neither should your practitioner.

Something I really didn’t understand until I started practicing aesthetics, is why it’s so important not to get filler if you are allergic to bees.

Judging by the comments on Gabby’s video, the importance is really not understood amongst the general community and this really worries me.

Many comments are of women saying they don’t mind if they’re allergic - or that they lied to their practitioner about their allergy - because they don’t ever intend to have Hyalase or dissolve their lips. What they don’t understand is that there is ALWAYS a risk of filler blocking a blood vessel (vascular occlusion), and in this situation they would not have a choice.

So here’s part 1 of my (likely) 3 part series as to why bee/wasp sting allergies should be taken seriously by both practitioners and patients when considering filler - starting with the discussion of patch tests and why they are not feasible.

(Ps. Can you tell I hate my new fringe? I moved my hair 58,000 times 🥲)

There are parts of this industry I love – the skill, the anatomy, the responsibility of caring for people.
But there are also parts I’ve grown increasingly uncomfortable with, and a lot of that comes down to language.

Certain terms have become so normalised in aesthetics that we stop questioning what they imply about ageing, about “flaws”, and about what’s supposedly acceptable or desirable. Over time, these words shape how people see themselves, often in ways that create pressure rather than choice.

I’ve become far more intentional about how I practice and how I speak. This includes choosing not to reinforce narratives that can quietly undermine patients’ confidence or sense of self.

I’m actively trying to protect patients, respect ageing, and challenge unrealistic societal expectations around appearance. These three terms are small examples of where I choose to draw that line.

Language matters.
And changing this industry doesn’t always start with new treatments - sometimes it starts with refusing to partake what doesn’t sit right.

These before and after photos are of my patient following growth factor microneedling (4 sessions, one month apart).

The most noticeable change is that the fine lines that were visible on his forehead and around his eyes are no longer present. These images were taken with the face at rest, not during expression, which tells us the skin itself has changed, rather than being the result of restricted movement from toxin or added volume from filler.

What you’re seeing is improved skin quality - smoother texture, more even tone, and skin that reflects light better.

This approach suits ageing skin that’s thinning or no longer responding predictably, and for people who want natural improvement rather than dramatic change. Results are gradual and build over time.

Growth factor microneedling supports the skin’s own repair processes, which is why it often delivers more meaningful results than microneedling alone. The added growth factors help guide how the skin heals after treatment, encouraging stronger collagen formation and better overall skin quality, rather than relying on the injury from the needles alone.

You guys really liked my story last week about fears that stem from seeing Hollywood faces and ‘overdone’ faces in the general community.

I’d please like remind my existing, new and potential patients that - whilst ‘overdone’ is a trend/look that runs rampant within society nowadays - it is not at all my aesthetic goal and I actively work to avoid these types of presentations every single time I treat.

I favour natural-looking results that are not detectable to the untrained eye, and educating patients around why the ‘overdone’ look occurs, and the fact it doesn’t happen with the correct knowledge, plan and technique.

Who else’s face have you noticed looking a little out of the ordinary these days? I’d love to hear below!

Medical Scar Support is designed for scars under 12 months old that are still in their active phase of healing. If your scar feels raised, firm, itchy or uncomfortable, this is the stage where treatment can help calm collagen production, reduce tension in the tissue and guide softer remodelling over time.

You’ll usually notice comfort improving early on, while visible changes tend to build gradually across 8 or so weeks. Plans are individualised and may be combined with other medical or paramedical care when that’s likely to serve you better. For scars older than 12 months, inkless tattooing is often the more effective option – and I’ll let you know if that’s the case.

If you’ve been searching for “keloid scar treatment”, “scar flattening treatment”, “scar reduction clinic near me” or “how to flatten a hypertrophic scar”, this is the medical approach designed for that stage of healing. I provide evidence-based care for both hypertrophic and keloid-prone scars, and treatment is always tailored to your history and skin.

I’m a Registered Cosmetic Nurse located in Fairfield Victoria. Consultations are available to those in Melbourne’s inner north, including Brunswick, Northcote and Thornbury.

All treatment options come with common side effects and serious risks, which must first be discussed in consultation - along with detailed medical history and other personal factors - to determine eligibility. Treatment benefits and alternative options are also discussed. Always seek treatment from professionals you trust.

Do you lose trust in a practitioner when you can’t see pricing, treatment info, or before and after photos on their page or website?

In Australia, AHPRA and TGA rules restrict what I can advertise, and these are actually some of the things I can’t post!

This post explains my advertising policy and how restricted information works in Australia.

Some details can’t appear on public socials or website copy:
• some pricing structures
• some before-and-after images
• any reference to prescription-only products
• content that encourages you to seek certain treatments or makes you feel flawed

What you can expect instead:
• private, by-request information when you ask directly
• assessment-first approach and evidence-based guidance
• open communication by message, phone, or consultation

Send this post to a friend you’ve been ranting with this about - now you know why 😂
