And that’s Derma Advanced officially clocking out for Christmas before someone hands us another mirror.

We would love to say this is how we actually look right now, but, After weeks of making all of you look fresh, rested and festive, the reality is… we’re held together by caffeine, dry shampoo and pure delusion. So yes — we AI’d ourselves. Because in real life, the Grinch aesthetic was starting to feel like our personal brand.

Candy canes. Smiles. Christmas spirit. All fictional.

But jokes aside (very briefly), thank you. Thank you for trusting us with your faces, your confidence, and those last-minute “I have three Christmas parties and a face tha resembles a smashed digestive” emergencies. That trust means everything — even when we’re running on caffeine and Xmas vibes.

We’re now signing off to eat, sleep, disappear slightly, and return looking less like we’ve survived December in a festive battlefield.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. See you in 2025. Alive. Rested. Hopefully glowing, think less feral, more fresh 😘😘

You’re not confused or undecided. You’re not “seeing how you feel”

You’re dragging your feet. You’ve had the same thought for weeks: I need to book that treatment

And every day, you put it off. Not because you don’t want it or because you’re unsure.
But because actually taking the step feels uncomfortable.

So instead, you do this little dance:
✨ You complain about the same thing in the mirror.
✨ You screenshot results you love.
✨ You zoom in on photos and criticise yourself.
✨ You rehearse DMing me and then delete it.
✨ You check availability and then close the page.

And then you pretend you’re “weighing it up”
No. You’re procrastinating

And the worst part?
You already know it

You don’t need someone to convince you the treatment works
You don’t need me to explain it again
You don’t need more reassurance
You need to stop stalling

Here’s the part no one says out loud:
You’re not staying where you are because it’s fine.
You’re staying where you are because it’s familiar.

And familiar feels safer than change —
even when familiar is making you miserable

You’ve made the decision internally.
You just haven’t followed through externally.
And while you hesitate?
• The diary fills.
• The offers end.
• Someone else takes the spot you wanted.
• You stay stuck with the same thing that’s been annoying you for months

Here’s the truth:
If you don’t fix it now, you won’t fix it next month either.
You’ll just repeat this exact same loop with a new excuse.
“I’m too busy.”
“It’s Christmas soon”
“I’ll do it in the new year”
“I need to wait until I feel 100% sure”

You won’t feel 100% sure
That’s not how confidence works.
Confidence comes after you make the move — not before

So let’s cut the fluff:
If you’re done feeling frustrated, book
If you’re fed up with avoiding the camera, book
If you’re tired of your makeup sitting differently, book
If you hate how long you’ve wanted this without doing anything about it, book

Or don’t
But stop pretending the problem will magically solve itself
The women getting results aren’t braver than you
They’re just done waiting.

Comment “info” if you’re ready to finally do something for yourself instead of talking
yourself out of it again.

Every winter, women come into the clinic and say the exact same sentence:

“My skin feels tight… like it doesn’t fit my face anymore.”

And they say it with that mix of confusion and self-blame, as if something must be
wrong with them, or they’ve suddenly aged overnight, or they’ve “let things slide.”

But here’s the truth:

Tight winter skin has nothing to do with ageing and everything to do with the
environment you’re living in.

Winter is basically a perfect storm for stressed skin:

Cold air outside that strips away moisture. Dry, artificial heat inside that pulls even more out. Wind that disrupts the barrier. Hot showers that feel heavenly but dehydrate your skin even further. Add the stress of December layered on top, because cortisol really does its own number on your face.

Then suddenly your skin feels thinner. Tighter. Makeup sits on
top instead of blending in. Your usual products just don’t work the same.

And people instantly assume they’ve aged. But what’s actually happening is far simpler:

Your skin is dehydrated, not old. Interrupted, not failing. Dry, not “going
downhill.”

Your barrier — the thing that keeps moisture in and irritants out — is quietly waving a
little white flag.

And winter asks you to listen to it differently.

Not with more products. Not with aggressive exfoliating. Definitely not with “quick fixes.”

But with small, gentle shifts:

A cleanser that doesn’t strip. A moisturiser with more weight. Hydration that actually
absorbs, not just sits there. Taking your makeup off properly instead of rushing. A little less hot water on your face. A little more kindness towards yourself.

Because your skin isn’t tight because you’re ageing. It’s tight because it’s trying to cope.

And it’s allowed to ask for a bit more support in winter — the same way you do.

The real magic happens when you stop panicking about what’s “wrong” with your skin and start understanding what it’s telling you.

And in winter, it’s usually saying:
“I need a bit more care than usual… nothing dramatic, just consistency.”

You’re not behind. You’re not suddenly older. Your skin hasn’t changed permanently.

It’s simply winter. And winter needs softness, not panic.

Why do you need a patch test before laser hair removal?

It’s one of those appointments that can feel a bit inconvenient… but it’s actually one of the most important steps in your whole laser journey.

⚡️First: safety.
A patch test helps us make sure your skin won’t react to the products used or the laser itself. Reactions can appear immediately or up to 48 hours later.
During the appointment I check for any signs of redness, burning, or blistering — and I’ll talk you through everything to look out for afterwards too.

⚡️Second: suitability.
Not all hair and skin types can be treated effectively. Before you invest in a course, we sit down and talk through what you want to achieve, what’s realistic, and how your skin and hair will respond.

⚡️Third: effectiveness.
This is where you’ll see me remove my goggles and study the area closely. This isn’t cos I have really bad eyesight, I’m watching what happens to the hair and surrounding follicle to make sure the treatment will be effective.

I’ll always ask how it feels and explain what to expect. Although the laser is cool, you may feel prickling or a slight “spicy” sensation — this tells me I’m targeting the hair properly without transferring unnecessary energy into the skin.

A lot of people expect laser to feel hot or painful… it’s not.
It’s cool, comfortable, and incredibly straightforward. And almost every client tells me they “wish they’d started sooner” because the results speak for themselves.

For some people — especially those managing PCOS — laser can genuinely be life-changing. Because this condition can increase hair growth, you may need more maintenance sessions as part of a long-term plan to manage regrowth effectively.

Maintenance varies from person to person, but usually every 6–12 months you’ll come back in for a session to keep things smooth and under control for long-lasting results.

So if you’re ready to ditch the razor 🪒 and debating whether laser is for you, consider this your sign.

Book a consultation and start something you may soon wish you’d done much sooner.

December has this way of pulling women in every direction except toward themselves.

You’re wrapping presents. You’re organising school concerts. You’re coordinating
diaries and trying to remember who likes what, who’s allergic to what, who you’ve
forgotten.

You’re holding everyone’s expectations, and last-minute chaos together like
glue.

And somewhere in the middle of all that… you disappear from your own list.

Not deliberately. Not dramatically. Just quietly.

It’s always the same story women tell me in the clinic at this time of year:
“I’ll sort myself out in January.”
“I don’t have time right now.”
“I just need to get everyone else sorted first.”
“I feel so drained but I’ll be fine.”

But here’s the part no one says out loud:

Women are exhausted long before Christmas Day ever arrives. And it shows up
on their faces… not because they’re ageing, but because they’re carrying everything.

Your skin looks tired because you are tired. Your eyes look heavy because your life is
heavy right now. Your face looks flat because you have poured every ounce of energy
into everyone else and left nothing for yourself.

Not because you’re neglecting yourself. But because you’re human.

So this post isn’t about skincare. It’s not about treatments. It’s not about looking fresher
for photos or “getting ready” for anything.
It’s about permission.

Permission to have one moment — even if it’s two minutes in the bathroom before
someone shouts your name — that belongs entirely to you.

A slow breath. A warm cloth on your face. A minute where you don’t have to respond,
fix, arrange, reassure or perform.

A moment where you remember: You are allowed to feel cared for, not just
responsible.

December tries to convince women they should cope without needing anything
themselves.

But the truth is… you can’t pour from an empty cup. You can’t look good functioning
from a drained body, or feel confident when you’re running on fumes.

So here is your reminder, from someone who sees you far more clearly than you realise:

You deserve moments of softness. Moments of care. Moments where your needs matter too.

Even in December.
Especially in December.

Take one today.
You are allowed.

Some women have to hide their treatments like they’re having an affair.

Sneaking out, deleting texts from their injector, coming home with a “oh this? Just a brow wax” while their forehead is smoother than a freshly ironed pillowcase.

And then there’s me.

I’ll happily waltz out the door saying, “Off to get my face stabbed. See you later 💉

No shame, no secrecy, no pretending | ‘just slept well!’ My face, my money, my choice. That’s it.

And yet he still looks at me sometimes, puzzled, like he’s trying to catch me out.
As if I’m hiding a treatment I literally told him about three times, with a bruise afterwards for good measure.

Men love a conspiracy theory.
They don’t notice when the dishwasher needs emptying but the second your frown lines calm down, suddenly they’re forensic analysts.

Some of you are running full undercover ops with your injectables.
Some of us are sending selfies from the treatment chair with “brb, improving my mood and my face.”

Either way - get what you want, do what you want, and let everyone else be confused in peace.
Life’s too short to give a damn about who approves of your forehead.

Smooth foreheads unite.
Secret agents and loud-and-prouds welcome.

There’s something about December that makes women suddenly look at themselves a little differently.

Maybe it’s the lighting in a shop mirror. Maybe it’s a photo someone tags you in without warning. Maybe it’s simply the moment you finally slow down and notice how exhausted you actually are.

Every year, around this time, the same quiet shift happens in the clinic.

The conversations soften.
The honesty comes out.
And women start saying things like:

“I just feel… tired in my face.”
“I look older this month and I don’t know why.”
“Nothing is sitting right on my skin.”

December does that.

The early mornings, the late nights, the emotional load, the running around after
everyone else… it all shows up right there, on the part of you the world sees first.\

But here’s the thing most women don’t realise:

Your face doesn’t need big dramatic decisions in December. It needs small,
thoughtful ones.

The gentle ones. The ones that say, “I matter too.”

Things like booking a facial to repair the harsh winter damage to your skin. Adding back hydration its silently been begging for. Stopping the habit of wiping your
makeup off with whatever’s closest because you’re shattered.

Drinking actual water instead of surviving on coffee and adrenaline.

The little things. The quiet things. The things that bring your face back to life without
overwhelming it.

December isn’t the month your face just "melts off” It’s the month your facemirrors
exactly how much you do for everyone else.

So if you’ve found yourself looking in the mirror lately thinking, “I just don’t feel like
myself,”… you’re not alone.

And it’s not a flaw. It’s not aging. It’s not you “letting yourself go.”

It’s simply a sign your skin needs you to choose it again, in small, kind ways.

Because December is heavy. But your skin doesn’t have to be.

11/12/2025

Let’s be honest: I do not wake up like this because I “drink loads of water and use SPF”.

Here’s what’s actually in my face:

• Profhilo – every 3 months
Because I like my skin to look like it belongs to a functioning human being and not a tired potato. It’s not dramatic, it just keeps everything looking fresher, bouncier and less “I’ve had four hours sleep and three coffees.”
• Polyneucleotides under my eyes, twice a year now, as I like to look woken up not dug up!
• 1ml lip filler – about 5 years ago
One ml. 5 years. Not topped up every five minutes. No duck situation. No “guess who’s just been filled” face. Just a slight tweak in shape and balance… and then left alone like a normal person.
• Tox – every 12 weeks
I can still move my face. I just don’t need my forehead folding up like an accordion every time I laugh. It’s preventative, it’s planned, and it stops me looking permanently knackered.
Plus a little bit in my jawline and corners of mouth to stop the resting bitch face and reduce the old jowls 🤢

Sprinkle in some chemical peels and a skin routine in more regimented with than a drill Sargent and winner

People are bizarrely obsessed with what practitioners have had done.

I can post education, science, treatment breakdowns… crickets, nada, no interest sparked

I say, “Here’s what I’ve had done,” and suddenly everyone’s fully engaged, zooming in on my face like detectives.

So here it is.
No mystery.

No pretending it’s all “good genes” and a positive mindset.

I trust these treatments enough to put them in my own face.

That’s the point.

It’s not about looking fake.

It’s about not looking like I’ve been repeatedly run over by the week.

If you like the overall result, this is the actual breakdown:

• Skin quality = Profhilo
• No eye bags = Polyneucleotides
• Lip balance = that one sensible ml
• Softer lines & less “tired” = tox on a schedule

If you’re sat there thinking, “I want tweaks but I don’t want to look ‘done’,” that’s literally what this is.

Small, thought-out changes, not a full renovation.

Tell me what bothers you most when you look in the mirror and we can build your version of this – not a copy-and-paste of my face.

December really exposes the truth:
women don’t need Santa — we need sleep, B*t*x, and a restraining order from the washing machine.

We’re organising everyone’s Christmas, being the emotional support human for the entire household, and trying not to lose the plot while tripping over Amazon parcels we ordered ourselves.

So yes, the Christmas list is feral and slightly dramatic: no wrinkles, new t**s, a break, $10k, new pyjamas, and a night away where no one says “Mum?”.
Honestly… mood.

I can’t fix your life — but I can soften the lines caused by holding this whole season together.
Book in before December finishes you off. 😉

There’s something incredibly special about the kind of trust that grows quietly, session after session. The kind where a patient doesn’t just thank you for a treatment, but for how you made them feel throughout the journey.

Sue’s words aren’t really about the injectables. They’re about feeling seen. Feeling understood. Feeling safe enough to hand over something as personal as her face and know she’s in steady, careful hands.

And that’s the part I never take lightly.
Because real confidence doesn’t come from dramatic changes or chasing trends. It comes from subtle, thoughtful work and a practitioner who treats your concerns with respect, honesty, and care.

When someone tells me I’m the only person they trust, it’s not a compliment I gloss over — it’s a responsibility I hold with everything I do. Every consultation. Every treatment. Every decision.

Trust isn’t given.
It’s built — gently, consistently, and ethically.

Thank you, Sue, for your beautiful words and even more beautiful loyalty.
And to every patient who chooses me: your trust is the foundation of everything.

If you’re looking for a space where you’re listened to, supported, and treated with genuine care — my door is always open.
