It’s not often I feel compelled to share a product with my patients and community but after just one week using this powerhouse cream, I couldn’t not.

Formulated to address tissue changes as a result of GLP-1RA and GIP therapies, this daily cream will actually work to improve the appearance of deflation, soften lines and deep wrinkles- so all the pesky concerns so many of us are dealing with- weight loss injections or not.

It is so satisfying to be able to recommend a product that really works - and having my patients coming in with such positive feedback (to the extent they’re asking when we will be receiving more!) is obviously very reassuring.

Pop in to the clinic to pick yours up- or contact the team and they will be more than happy to arrange delivery for you.

To Gel Or Not To Gel 💅🏼💅🏼💅🏼

That IS the question on everyone’s minds right now with the recent controversy around TPO.

I have long been an advocate for avoiding gel/acrylic nails completely, due to the potential contact allergies as a direct result of the acrylate within the products.

Traditional nail varnish has significantly improved in recent years- and I personally find my manicures with normal nail varnish last a couple of weeks (and that’s as someone who is super busy using my hands all the time at work!)

This is why I urge my community online (as well as my clinical patients and friends) to at least give normal nail varnish a go- and see how you get on.

It’s evident more research is needed on TPO specifically, but my professional opinion is to err on the side of caution at least for now.

Do tell me if you give this a go!🤍

IN THE PRESS 🗞️👩🏽‍⚕️

A big thank you to for featuring my opinion on the topic of the moment- neck creams!

I loved sharing my thoughts on the attention we should be paying (and often forget to!) our necks.

All of those wonderful ingredients like vitamin C and peptides are equally as important to be including in our neck care routines. So don’t neglect this part of the body!🤍

Thinking about starting minoxidil? Here’s what you need to know 👇🏽

Minoxidil is one of the most proven treatments for hair loss. It helps boost blood flow and keeps follicles in their growth phase longer.

⚡️ The catch? In the first few weeks, you might notice more shedding. This is completely normal and just means weaker hairs are being pushed out as stronger, healthier ones come through.

Shedding usually lasts 2-8 weeks, then things begin to stabilise 🤩

💡 Extra tip: while minoxidil does the heavy lifting, supporting your body with good nutrition, movement, and stress management can help your hair thrive overall.

Save this post if you’re starting to think about adding minoxidil into your routine, or share it with someone who needs the reassurance 🤍

TRETINOIN vs RETINOL 🤔

It’s undeniable that either of these Vitamin A derivatives could have a place in your beauty routine- but dependent on where you’re at in your skincare journey, the step-up to tretinoin may be the upgrade your skin is begging you for.🙏🏼

Most of the patients I’m seeing in clinic have got some form of vitamin a in their regimes, and it’s at this point I recommend a migration onto tretinoin, usually in the form of either my Acne or Anti Ageing Skin Serums.✨

My serums allow me to fully customise what my patient’s skin needs throughout the year, which is essential during seasonal transitions and big lifestyle adjustments. 🥶

I will always be an advocate for consistency and simplicity in a skincare routine, however getting your active %’s right is the one variation that we may need to switch up here and there!🤝🏼

If I’m not seeing you as a patient in-clinic, my serums are still shoppable via the website. To order 👇🏽
