I’m really excited to share that I’ve been selected to take part in the Aesthetic Evolution Program in Melbourne over the coming months.

This program is guided by Dr Tarek Shalabi (), a highly respected aesthetic doctor known for his ethical, considered approach to aesthetics - one that prioritises a natural and balanced look, and preserving your individuality by enhancing what’s already there. His philosophy strongly aligns with the values I hold here at Halo, so learning under his guidance feels incredibly meaningful.

Continued education is something I genuinely value, and I’m always grateful for opportunities to refine and grow my skills, deepen my knowledge, and most importantly to bring that learning back to my clinic and my patients.

I’m looking forward to sharing more from the mentorship as the journey unfolds.

Thank you to .australia and for supporting ongoing education in aesthetic medicine.

Steph has been selected to take part in the Teoxane Aesthetic Evolution Program, with mentorship from Dr Tarek Shalabi, a highly respected aesthetic doctor known for his meticulous, patient-centred approach to non-surgical facial treatments.

This mentorship focuses on refining clinical skills, deepening anatomical understanding, and advancing treatment planning through expert guidance and hands-on learning. Ongoing education like this allows Steph to continually evolve her practice while maintaining a strong focus on safety, ethics, and personalised care.

Because in aesthetic medicine, learning never stops, and neither should the commitment to doing things well.

Thank you to and for supporting continued learning in aesthetic medicine.

Ever wondered what’s being used on your skin during a skin peel at Halo?

Medical grade peels are selected based on your skin type, concerns, and how your skin is presenting on the day. These professional treatments range from gentle enzyme peels, which use fruit enzymes to exfoliate and refresh the skin, through to more targeted peels formulated to address concerns such as congestion, uneven tone, pigmentation, or texture.

The type of peel chosen depends on your skin’s needs, barrier health, and treatment goals. Each peel is applied with precision and intention, supporting skin renewal while prioritising comfort and safety.

This is why no two facials at Halo are the same. Every peel, technique, and treatment plan is personalised to your skin.

As life changes, so does your skin. What worked during one season of life may not feel practical, effective, or supportive anymore, and that’s completely normal.

A routine that fits your lifestyle should feel manageable, intentional, and aligned with your skin’s needs, not overwhelming or rigid.

This is where a consultation can be helpful, allowing us to assess your skin, understand your day to day routine, and create a personalised plan that supports both.

Formulation is what separates skincare that sits on the surface from skincare that truly performs.

Cosmeceutical-grade products are designed with skin biology in mind; using clinically validated ingredients, advanced delivery systems, and precise concentrations, without unnecessary fragrance, dyes, or fillers.

Rather than following trends, they prioritise skin barrier integrity, tolerance, and long-term results.

Because no two skins are the same, professional guidance ensures your skincare is selected with intention — tailored to your skin’s unique needs, not what’s trending.

Moisturiser is not simply hydration—it is a foundational step in supporting the skin barrier, the outermost layer that protects against moisture loss and environmental stressors.

Advanced cosmeceutical formulations restore essential lipids, attract and retain water within the skin, and support optimal barrier function. When the barrier is strong, skin appears smoother, more luminous, and responds more predictably to professional treatments.

Applied as the final step after serums, moisturiser helps seal in active ingredients, enhancing their performance while maintaining optimal hydration.

Consistent, considered moisturising is an investment in long-term skin health.

The Skincare Company offers a curated range of high-performance moisturisers designed to address a variety of skin concerns and available in clinic, with personalised consultations ensuring the most appropriate formulation for your skin.

Are you choosing care, or convenience?

When it comes to your skin, it’s easy to fall into routines that are quick, trendy, or convenient. But true skin health is often supported by more considered choices, taking the time to understand your skin, how it’s changing, and what it actually needs.

Care looks like education, consistency, and cosmeceutical skincare selected for your skin by a professional. It means relying on trusted advice rather than online trends, and choosing treatments and products that support skin quality over time.

At Halo, every appointment is guided by care first, combining clinical expertise, personalised planning, and a calm environment where your skin and experience are both prioritised. If you’re ready for a more intentional approach to skin, a consultation is the best place to start.

For many people, stepping into a clinical setting for the first time can feel a little intimidating, especially if you’re unsure what to expect or have had a less than ideal experience elsewhere.

At Halo, Steph’s focus is on creating a space where you feel welcome, comfortable, and informed from the moment you arrive. Every appointment begins with conversation and education, allowing you to understand your skin, ask questions, and feel supported throughout the process.

There’s no pressure and no rushing. Just calm, considered care in a professional environment where your comfort matters just as much as the treatment itself.

Facial muscles play a much bigger role in ageing than most people realise.

Repeated movement, muscle tension, and changes in muscle balance over time can contribute to concerns like forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, jaw tension, downturned mouth corners, and neck banding.

Because these muscles sit directly beneath the skin, how they function influences skin movement, creasing, and long term changes in facial appearance. This is why understanding facial anatomy is such an important part of treatment planning.

Every face moves differently, which is why a detailed consultation is essential to assess muscle activity, skin quality, and individual concerns before recommending any treatment approach.

Before the treatment begins.

Sterile preparation, single use cartridges, and careful setup are all part of a safe, considered skin needling appointment.

Every step is performed with precision and attention to clinical hygiene, guided by your consultation and individual skin assessment.

Preparation matters just as much as the treatment itself.

Not sure what your skin goals are for 2026?

Now that the new year is in full swing, it’s normal to start thinking about what you’d like to improve, maintain, or simply understand better about your skin.

Skin goals don’t have to be dramatic, sometimes it’s about feeling more comfortable in your skin, supporting skin quality, or creating a plan that makes sense for where your skin is right now.

A consultation is the best place to start. It allows us to assess your skin, talk through your concerns, and create a personalised plan that supports your skin over time, rather than chasing quick fixes.
