How do you get ready to start your day?
I like to make the most of every day and keep busy, so I wake up early. I manage to squeeze in a PT session and a good coffee before my kids are awake. After dropping my kids off at school, I head to the clinic to see my wonderful patients.
What is the most challenging part of your job? What is your favourite thing about your job?
My job brings me immaculate amounts of joy—seeing the pleasure in my clients after treatment is very rewarding and satisfying. The challenging parts of my job come in when I have to refuse treatment or put a patient on a ‘filler’ ban in order to re-aligning patient expectations of what is actually achievable. Patients will show me social media filters expecting that I can match them. I believe aesthetics should enhance the beauty that my clients’ already have, not replace it with something unreal and obviously photoshopped! Believe me, this can be real struggle.
What is your treatment approach and how has STYLAGE related to your values?
My entire approach to aesthetics is about enhancing my clients’ natural beauty, not changing it. All the treatments I offer are tasteful, sensitive and never overdone. I believe patients should feel confident, classy and beautiful.
Aesthetics is not just about beauty on the outside, it is about making people happy and comfortable in their own skin.
STYLAGE is such a perfect fit for my approach. When I’m designing a bespoke treatment for my clients, I need a product that will give me consistently excellent results with every use. STYLAGE is that and more—it gives me incredible control when I administer treatment, and delivers the brilliant results my clients expect and demand, every time. It is clear these products have years of technological and aesthetic expertise in them.
What is your go-to STYLAGE product and why?
My go to product is STYLAGE M, which I use a lot for treating the lower face, including the lips.
In my aesthetic career, I’ve tried most fillers on the market. After introducing STYLAGE to my practice and injecting the first few patients,
I knew STYLAGE M is the perfect filler for me. Not only does STYLAGE M give brilliant, long-lasting results that patients love, it’s also a joy for me to use too. The VIVACY syringe design is so comfortable - no sore thumb after full day of injecting!
Tell us more about STYLAGE M?
STYLAGE M is 20mg/g of cross-linked hyaluronic acid and mannitol. I’m a big advocate of using a cannula to administer treatment. STYLAGE M blends well in nasolabial folds, marionette lines and of course, the lips!
Depending on the area of the body, I inject STYLAGE M either mid or deep into the dermis. I use STYLAGE M in lips a lot, as I found it gives great definition and fullness. The longevity of STYLAGE M in lips is much better than other brands I’ve used, and my patients love it.
