This patient came in to have her filler dissolved.

Over the years, she’d had multiple sessions of filler in her tear troughs, cheeks and chin. For the last couple of years, she’d felt like her face looked constantly puffy. She hadn’t gained weight—she just felt swollen all the time.

When we scanned her face with ultrasound, we could see years of filler build-up. Dermal filler attracts and holds onto water, which is why her face had started to look persistently puffy.

The scan also showed something else: scar tissue.

A lot of people don’t realise that filler is still a foreign substance. Although it’s designed to be biocompatible, your immune system still recognises it as something that doesn’t naturally belong there. When filler sits in the tissues for years, the body can keep trying to deal with it, and over time that ongoing immune response can lead to fibrosis (scar tissue).

On ultrasound, fibrosis appears as bright white areas within the soft tissue. Bone is normally the brightest structure we see, so seeing multiple bright areas within the skin tells us something abnormal is there—in this case, scar tissue around the filler.

Once the filler was dissolved, the volume that had been masking the scar tissue was gone, so the indentation became visible.

The dissolving didn’t cause the dip. It simply revealed what had been there all along.

TREATMENT

The aim is to release the scar tissue.

We do this using hyalase together with a small amount of steroid to soften and release the fibrotic tissue, allowing the skin to settle more evenly and helping improve the indentation.

This patient had just one scar-release treatment alongside her routine Botox (which was not injected into the scar), and this was her result six months later.

Every patient is different. Some only need one treatment, while others need several sessions. It all depends on how much fibrosis is present, so treatment is always tailored to the individual.

Of course the harsh acids over the counter worked—it helped reduce the oil in your skin, which also meant fewer breakouts. 💪

But the reason your skin was oily in the first place was because your hormones were changing.🤯

Now that your hormones have settled, your skin has changed too. That means your skincare needs to change with it.💡

The salicylic acid and strong over-the-counter acids that used to work so well can now start to over-dry your skin by irritating your skin which creates holes in your skin barrier. ✋

“Now you’re left with another concern... skin that’s still oily but also dehydrated, making your pores look larger.”😩

When your skin becomes dehydrated, it loses its plumpness and firmness, making your pores look larger and more noticeable.

TREATMENT
For some people, the solution really is as simple as a personalised skincare routine.

⭐️By replacing harsh products with gentle, oil-balancing products and adding the right hydration, you can help restore your skin barrier and give your skin what it needs to function properly.
⭐️To speed everything up we can use exosomes to help repair your skin barrier, so it can finally hold onto that hydration instead of letting it escape.
⭐️Adding LED therapy then gives your skin the energy it needs to repair and function the way it should.

As your skin becomes healthier and better hydrated, it starts to look firmer and plumper again, which means those pores become less noticeable over time.

Just remember—healthy skin doesn’t happen overnight, so consistency is key. 🔑

Sometimes the quickest solution is not always the safest one.🤦🏽‍♀️

Pigmentation often develops when the skin is already weak or inflamed. When the skin is trying to heal from things like sun exposure or irritation, it can produce extra melanin, which leaves dark patches behind. This is more likely if the skin has not been protected with skincare or sunscreen. 🛡️

The easy option can be to use strong skin-lightening products, especially in countries where they are available over the counter. 💨

These products may fade the pigmentation quickly, but they can also make the skin more fragile and irritated. Once the skin becomes red and inflamed, it may produce even more melanin as it heals. 😩😩

If this cycle continues, the pigmentation can become darker, more stubborn and much harder to treat

That is why it is important to have a proper skin consultation first, so we can understand why the pigmentation has developed and choose the safest treatment for your skin.

Pigmentation does not usually improve overnight. It can take months, and sometimes longer, but taking the slower route helps build healthier, stronger skin and reduces the risk of creating pigmentation that may become very difficult to remove.

Stress is inevitable 🤯

There may be periods in your life when you are under a lot of stress, but you may not see the effects on your skin or hair until months later.

Stress affects the whole body. In this client, it contributed to irritated skin and breakouts, alongside hair thinning through the middle parting.

She didn’t notice the hair loss straight away. It became more obvious a few months after the stressful period. 🕰️

⭐️WHY IT HAPPENS⭐️
Stress increases a hormone called cortisol. When cortisol stays high for a prolonged period, it disrupts the normal hair growth cycle and pushes more hairs from the growing phase into the resting phase.
A few months later, those resting hairs move into the shedding phase, which is when the hair loss becomes noticeable.

⭐️TREATMENT⭐️
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) uses your own blood. A small amount is taken, processed and injected into the scalp. The platelets release natural growth signals that encourage the hair follicles to return to the growing phase, helping reduce hair loss and support new hair growth over time.

Your neck is actually more delicate than your face.

WHY?

The skin on your neck is thinner and contains less collagen than the skin on your face, so it naturally ages and becomes damaged more easily.

That’s why it’s just as important to treat your neck as your face—if not more so.

When the neck is overlooked, you can start to notice more lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone and dark patches, just like in this case.

This patient already had a history of eczema, which meant her skin barrier was naturally weaker.

When her eczema flared up, the damaged skin barrier couldn’t hold onto water properly, leaving the skin dry, itchy and irritated.

Because the protective barrier was weak, irritants could get into the skin more easily, triggering an immune response.

As the skin healed, it produced extra melanin to protect itself, leaving behind the dark patches you can see.

TREATMENT

⭐️Exosome therapyhelps support the skin’s natural repair process, allowing the protective skin barrier to become stronger.

⭐️Laser Genesis helps calm inflammation and redness, making the skin less reactive while the barrier heals.

Together, alongside a nourishing, ceramide-rich skincare routine, they help rebuild healthier, stronger skin.

REMEMBER

Eczema can flare up whenever you'’e exposed to your personal triggers.

These treatments don'’ cure eczema—they help return the skin to a healthier baseline and strengthen the skin barrier so it'’ better able to cope with those triggers.

If treatment and maintenance are stopped, the skin barrier can weaken again, meaning the same problems may gradually return.

Healthy skin isn't a one-off treatment—it’s something that needs maintaining.

Have you ever wondered why a treatment wasn’t working for you?

There might be something else going on. Anything that stresses your body and mind, stresses your skin too.
That can include
⭐️ Environmental changes
⭐️ Flying
⭐️ Medication
⭐️ or even a tooth extraction in this case!

A tooth extraction lead to an infection.
The infection caused an immune response which made her face feel heavy and droopy.

She was following the full skincare routine, did regular maintenance sessions of radiofrequency microneedling, Exosomes, vascular laser and c02 laser. But at this moment on time she felt something was off with her skin.

2 weeks later she was put on antibiotics to clear the infection. This helped to reduce the heaviness in her skin. And in the interim we did vascular laser and Botox to calm her skin down further!

Are you unable to cover your nose redness with makeup?

Don’t worry, you are not the only one.

Why is that?
Well your nose has one of the most number of small blood vessels just under the skin. So whenever your body notices a slight chance in
☀️ Weather
🤯 Stress levels
🤒 just general health of your body

your nose is one of the first to show something isn’t sitting right so it goes red!!!!

So how do you make your nose less sensitive to changes?

You can reduce the additional small blood vessels in your nose with targeted vascular laser 💪

Ok acne is a hard one…

When we are teens our hormones go crazy and this makes your skin react in a crazy way.
⭐️leads to extra oil
⭐️more dead skin
⭐️more skin irritation and sensitivity
⭐️more clogged pores

Initially any over the counter products like salicylic acid or benzyl peroxide will do the trick! Yay!!!

But then your hormones normalise and your skin gets used to the new setting.

The skin care products that control oil won’t help anymore! Instead it destroys your skin barrier and you get dry, over oily and irritated skin. Eek!
Hello breakouts!!!

So how do we stop the breakouts again?
1. Repair the broken skin barrier and calm the skin with personalised skincare and Exosomes
2. Control oil production without drying the skin. It works like accutane (isotretionin) without the side effects !

💪Clearer skin isn’t just about attacking acne. It’s about treating the cause while keeping your skin healthy.
