Who can relate? 🤭

You go in for a little facial refresh and somehow leave with glowing skin, a new favourite serum, and your next microneedling session already in the diary ✨

Because when you start seeing results, it’s hard not to keep the momentum going, especially when it comes to your skin.

If you’ve ever wondered what microneedling actually feels like, this is the kind of honest insight we wish everyone could see👆🏼

So many people sit in our chair expecting pain, long downtime or something far more dramatic than the reality. But when you experience a proper medical microneedling treatment under the right hands, it is controlled, comfortable and incredibly rewarding for your skin.

Microneedling is one of those treatments that gently transforms everything. It boosts collagen, smooths texture, softens fine lines, brightens dullness and supports healthier, stronger skin over time.

You leave a little pink, and then day by day, the glow develops as your skin repairs and regenerates.

If you want a treatment that improves your skin from the inside out with minimal downtime and long-lasting results, microneedling is genuinely one of the best places to start.

If you’d like to talk about whether it is right for your skin, you are very welcome to book a consultation or send us a message. We’re always happy to guide you 💬

If redness or rosacea has been affecting your confidence, there’s a treatment that can truly make a difference ✨

The Nordlys Laser offers a gentle yet highly effective solution for calming redness, managing rosacea, and restoring an even, radiant complexion.

Using advanced technology, it precisely targets the tiny blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface, reducing inflammation and promoting natural healing, without irritation or downtime.

Over time, you’ll notice a clearer, smoother complexion with visibly reduced redness and a more balanced skin tone. It’s a treatment designed not just to improve how your skin looks, but how you feel about it too.

If you’re ready to take control of your skin health and confidence, tap the link in bio to book your Nordlys consultation today 💌

There is a moment many people reach where skincare is no longer enough, but they are not ready for anything invasive. The skin is softer around the jaw, the brows sit a little lower, and the neck is not as firm as it once was. You still look like you, just slightly tired or less defined.

This is exactly where Sofwave comes into its own.

Sofwave is one of the most effective non-surgical skin tightening treatments available today, and what makes it so powerful is that it goes straight to the source of the problem. It targets the collagen-rich layer of the skin where laxity begins and delivers a precise heat energy that tells your body to rebuild, repair and tighten. No needles, no downtime, no change to your facial expressions. Just firmer, smoother, lifted skin over the months that follow.

The results? A cleaner jawline. A lifted brow. A tighter neck. Makeup sits better because the architecture underneath has more support. And the best part is that the results continue to improve as your collagen remodels.

It is ideal if you are noticing early jowls, softening through the cheeks, hooding of the eyelids, or just a general loss of firmness. It is also a brilliant option if you want a treatment that fits around a busy life with no visible recovery.

If you are curious whether Sofwave is the right solution for you, or if you want a personalised plan for lifting and tightening without surgery, tap the link in our bio or send me a message. We’ll walk you through the options, together 💌

What if you could lift, sculpt and brighten your face without a single needle? ✨

It sounds too good to be true, but this is exactly what we see with Emface.

After just four sessions, you can already notice the change. The cheeks look more lifted, the brows sit higher, and the skin has that unmistakable healthy glow that normally only comes from injectables or months of consistent treatment.

Emface works in a completely different way. The radiofrequency boosts collagen and elastin for smoother, firmer skin, while the HIFES technology strengthens and tones the underlying facial muscles. So you are not just tightening the surface, you are improving the structure that supports it.

The result is a natural, refreshed look that still feels like you, only more lifted and energised, and with absolutely no downtime.

If you have been curious about non-injectable ways to lift and contour the face, this is one worth exploring.

Lip filler doesn’t have to look obvious, in fact, it shouldn’t.

This gorgeous transformation by our nurse Ashley shows what’s possible when the goal is subtle shape, hydration, and balance. We corrected asymmetry, defined the lip borders, and boosted hydration…all without adding volume for volume’s sake.

✨ No overfilling
✨ No duck lips
✨ Just your lips - refreshed, refined, and beautifully in proportion

So many clients put lip filler off for years out of fear it will change their face. But when it’s done well, it simply enhances what’s already there, and more often than not, they tell me: “I wish I’d done it sooner.”

DM the word “LIPS” to learn more or to book your consultation with our expert team 👄

Party season is just around the corner, and while the celebrations are a highlight of the year, they can take a toll on your skin ✨

Late nights, prosecco, indulgent food and heavier makeup can all leave their mark, from dullness and dehydration to breakouts and redness.

It’s what we call “Festive Face,” and it often shows up just when you want to feel your best.

The secret? A smart skin survival plan that keeps your complexion glowing, balanced and ready for every event in the diary. Here’s how we do it…
