Working with a woman in her 40s is about refinement, not creating a new face.

Many of our patients at this stage are completely new to aesthetic treatments. They tend to know exactly what they don’t want. Nothing obvious and nothing that makes it clear they’ve had work done.

What they do notice is that their face looks more tired than they feel. The support and definition they once had has softened slightly, and things don’t sit quite the same as they used to.

It’s not about focusing on one area in isolation, but looking at the face as a whole and making small, precise adjustments where they’ll have the most natural effect. Often that means treating multiple areas so everything sits in better balance, rather than over correcting a single feature.

When it’s done well, you don’t look 'done'. You just look fresher and more rested.

This is exactly what our full face rejuvenation treatments are about, and how dermal filler, used as a tool, can be so effective in the right patient.

Adam Levine’s face has become one of the more talked about topics online, and it is easy to see why. When images from similar events are placed side by side, the shift in his appearance feels noticeable enough to spark debate.

The comparison is interesting because the timeframe is relatively short. Over a couple of years in someone in their late forties, we would usually expect gradual softening rather than increased definition. Yet the more recent images suggest a firmer jawline, a tighter neckline and a more open eye area. Grooming changes, particularly the removal of facial hair, along with lighting and styling, can certainly enhance structure, but they do not fully explain the overall direction of change.

Looking more closely, there are subtle structural cues that draw attention. The eye area appears more open, with greater upper eyelid visibility and a slight elevation laterally. Around the ear, there are fine areas of skin gathering that can occur when the face is repositioned and tension is redistributed. These are small details, but they tend to stand out because they contrast with an otherwise smooth and tightened appearance.

What people are responding to is less about any one feature and more about the overall look. There is a uniformity and firmness that feels slightly fixed, rather than naturally moving and settling. Even when subtle, that difference is something the eye picks up on quickly.

Whether this reflects natural change, styling choices or some form of intervention is ultimately open to interpretation. What is clear is that his appearance has evolved in a way that feels distinct from previous years, which is why it has become such a point of conversation.

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA - THEN (2006) & NOW (2026)

Nearly two decades on from The Devil Wears Prada, what stands out is not just how the cast look today, but how consistently they appear to have been maintained over time. There is no obvious point where ageing seems to accelerate. Instead, the changes feel gradual and well managed.

This reflects how modern aesthetics has evolved. The most refined results are rarely down to a single treatment or decision. They tend to come from a multi-modal approach, where different aspects of the face are considered together. Skin treatments can improve tone and overall quality, while neuromodulators such as Botox are used to soften expression lines. In some cases, surgical techniques may also play a role in maintaining underlying support and contour.

There has also been a shift towards earlier and more consistent intervention. Rather than trying to reverse visible ageing, the focus is often on maintaining structure and balance as changes occur.

This is often why the outcome appears so natural. It is less about a single noticeable change and more about the overall impression over time. A considered combination of treatments can help preserve proportions and support the face in a way that feels cohesive.

Either way, it offers an interesting perspective on how approaches to ageing are changing, and how a more tailored strategy can influence that process over the long term.

We seem to have entered an era where beauty is no longer maintained, but continuously optimised. What once felt like an occasional intervention has become an ongoing process, shaped by routines that are increasingly complex and highly visible.

Across social media, you see it reflected in layered protocols built around peptides, supplements, devices and daily rituals. Much of it sits outside traditional clinical frameworks, yet it is presented as necessary. The appeal is not just the outcome, but the process itself. It looks structured, aspirational and attainable, provided you are willing to buy into it.

What is emerging is a beauty ecosystem. Clinical interventions, wellness trends and everyday rituals now exist side by side, often without clear boundaries. Within that system, optimisation can become the goal rather than the result.

The recent conversation around Kris Jenner has highlighted an important reality in aesthetic medicine. What we see online is often a carefully presented moment in time rather than a true reflection of a final outcome.

In the early stages after facial surgery, results can appear more lifted or refined due to swelling, lighting, and image optimisation. As healing progresses over several months, the face settles and softens. This is a normal part of the process, but one that is rarely shown or discussed openly.

There has also been discussion around surgical approach. It is widely reported that her procedure was a SMAS facelift performed by Steven Levine. Comparisons have been made to deep plane techniques, particularly in older patients, where some surgeons feel additional structural support may offer longer term stability. However, this is not a question of one method being universally better. Each surgeon develops their own refined approach, and outcomes depend on how that technique is applied to the individual.

This is where patient anatomy becomes central. Skin quality, underlying structure, tissue behaviour, and healing response all influence how a result evolves over time. For this reason, comparing one individual to another is rarely meaningful.

The same principle extends beyond surgery. Whether we are considering skincare, injectables, or surgical intervention, the goal should always be a tailored plan rather than a trend led decision.

I often refer to this as the 3 Rs
▪️The right approach
▪️For the right face
▪️At the right time

When these are aligned, outcomes are not only more natural but also more sustainable.

Aesthetics should be approached with a long term perspective, grounded in realistic expectations rather than filtered comparisons.

Life has felt very full recently, in the best way.

So grateful for the mix of time away, time with the people I love, and doing a job that never stops teaching me something new.

There’s a growing sense that the way we read faces is shifting, and it’s becoming harder to agree on what ageing is supposed to look like.

Looking at Demi Moore, Donatella Versace, Kris Jenner, Madonna, Nicole Kidman and Martha Stewart, what stands out isn’t just that they look different, but that the change feels more structural than surface level.

At this level, outcomes are rarely the result of a single intervention. They reflect a more layered approach, where underlying anatomy is adjusted and then supported by treatments that improve how the skin behaves and reflects light. When those elements are brought into alignment, the face reads differently, even if you can’t immediately identify why.

There’s also a longer timeline behind many of these results. For some, this is not a first intervention but part of an ongoing process of refinement, where earlier work is revisited and adjusted. Demi Moore is a good example of how that evolution can play out, particularly through the mid-face, where the overall effect now feels more settled.

What’s equally striking is the age range. From Nicole Kidman in her late 50s through to Martha Stewart in her 80s, there’s a shared sense that ageing is being approached with a level of intention that goes beyond maintenance.

Which is why the reaction can feel so divided. The question is less about whether something has been done, and more about how our expectations are adjusting in response.

Looking back at the week in the skin clinic, it’s always the mix of people and skin that stands out.

Different faces, different skin, different reasons for walking through the door. Redness that won’t settle, pigmentation that’s lingered for years, breakouts that keep coming back, skin that just doesn’t feel like it used to.

None of this happens without the team. Abbi, our skin practitioner, and Dr Charlotte, who leads on these treatments, are the ones you’ll see throughout. It’s very much a collaborative approach, making sure each plan actually fits the person in front of us.

One of the quiet perks of having a clinic is that I get to be a patient too. And honestly, this machine is a big part of why I built this space in the first place.

I didn’t want a menu full of treatments that all do a bit of something. I wanted something that could actually adapt to the person in front of me. Something we can tailor properly and build a plan around, depending on what your skin actually needs.

That’s what you’re seeing here.

Each face has been treated slightly differently. Sometimes BBL, sometimes MOXI, sometimes both. It’s never about forcing one approach, it’s about choosing what makes sense for that skin.

You’ll also see me in there being treated by my team. Not just because I can, but because I trust it and I wanted this to be something I would genuinely have myself.

This is what a real week in clinic looks like.

It’s getting harder not to notice how similar everyone is starting to look, a kind of polished sameness that feels intentional. I’ve been calling it 'duping beauty' because it mirrors what we’ve already seen happen in fashion and luxury.

There’s a clear shift in facial aesthetics, with everything moving upward, brows sitting higher, eyes more open, the mid-face lifted, creating that refined, elevated look. It comes from a mix of skincare, injectables and surgery, and it’s starting to feel less like individual choice and more like a shared formula.

It reminds me of how certain status items have evolved. Pieces like the Hermes Birkin bag or a Rolex watch used to signal something specific, you’d see them in certain places, on certain people. Now they’re everywhere, or at least versions of them are, with dupes and replicas making it harder to tell what’s real, and when that happens, they lose some of what made them feel special.

The same thing is happening with beauty. When everyone is working towards the same kind of face, it stops standing out in the way it once did, and people begin to look for something that feels more real.

What I’m noticing now is that the marker of status is shifting towards skin, not filtered or overtreated, but genuinely healthy, good quality skin that comes from consistency, habits and time. It’s much harder to fake, and it reflects how you live and what you invest in over the long term.

In a world where so much can be duplicated, looking like yourself and maintaining that is starting to feel like the most valuable thing.
