I think one of the biggest problems in aesthetics at the moment is that there are so many treatments available, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for patients to know what they actually need.

And I can understand why. Every week there seems to be a new injectable, device or treatment promising to improve something about our appearance. When you’re constantly exposed to that, it’s easy to assume that more treatments must mean better results.

But I think we need to be much more careful about the distinction between what a treatment can do and whether it’s actually the right treatment for the person sitting in front of us.

You can spend a lot of money on treatments that have some benefit, but still end up disappointed because they were never going to achieve what you were hoping for in the first place.

And I think this is where the responsibility really sits with us as practitioners. Patients shouldn't be expected to understand the limitations of every injectable or device before walking into a consultation. That's part of our job.

I'd much rather someone leave my clinic understanding why I haven't recommended something than spend thousands of pounds on treatments that aren't going to get them where they want to be.

I'm curious whether anyone else has experienced this, particularly if you've had treatments that didn't quite deliver what you were expecting.

Five years together, ten years between us, and apparently we’re now the couple that gets laser treatments together.

I’m 32 and Julian’s 42, so although we’re at slightly different stages when it comes to our skin, we’re both after the same thing, good quality, healthy looking skin.

Every few months, we like to combine BBL (BroadBand Light) and MOXI laser. BBL helps address things like redness and pigmentation to improve overall skin tone, while MOXI focuses more on texture and skin renewal. They work really nicely together, and it’s a combination we both enjoy having as part of our skin maintenance.

And of course, we couldn’t be in safer hands than with our brilliant skin practitioner, Abbi.

Five years in, and I’d say Julian’s still enjoying the perks of dating an aesthetics doctor.

There’s been so much conversation about Kristen Wiig’s appearance at the Chanel show, with a lot of people saying she doesn’t look like herself anymore.

She does look different, but there are 13 years between the images shown in this video, and I think whatever she may have chosen to do has been done very well.

Of course, we can only speculate from photographs, but you don’t tend to get a result like this from one treatment. There are likely years of maintenance behind it, with attention paid to skin quality, volume and the structural changes that naturally happen to the face with age.

Then there’s everything else. Hair, makeup, styling, fitness and generally taking good care of yourself all have an impact.

When someone looks this youthful at 53, it’s rarely down to one thing. More likely, it’s the result of a considered approach over many years, with different treatments playing their part along the way.

As a trans man, Louie spoke in his consultation about how certain aspects of his facial structure still felt feminine to him. Although he is at a point where he doesn’t think about his transition all that much, seeing those features in the mirror could sometimes take him back to that part of his journey.

For him, this treatment felt like one of the final pieces of the puzzle. He wanted more strength and masculinity in his face, not to look like somebody different, but to feel more confident in what he saw looking back at him.

With that in mind, we approached his treatment across three key areas, the cheeks, jawline and chin. Rather than treating each feature in isolation, the aim was to look at how they worked together to create the stronger facial structure Louie was looking for.

We added structure through the cheeks, strengthened and defined the jawline and improved the projection of the chin. Together, these changes created a squarer, more defined lower face and a stronger overall profile, while still keeping the result completely in keeping with Louie’s natural features.

What I love about this result is that it doesn’t feel like we have changed his face. We have simply brought more emphasis to the masculine structure he wanted to see.

After everything Louie has been through on his journey, this really did feel like the icing on the cake. A relatively small physical change, but one that meant so much more to him in terms of confidence and how he sees himself.

Louie is 30 and a trans man who has been on hormones for around 12 years. He has undergone surgery, has a great support system around him and is at a point in his life where he doesn’t think about his transition all that much. But there were still moments when looking in the mirror could bring some of those feelings back.

There were aspects of his face that still felt feminine to him and didn’t quite reflect how he saw himself. He had even found himself using his facial hair, in part, to hide the features he felt less comfortable with.

That was probably the most important part of our conversation. We weren’t looking at Louie and asking how we could simply make him look ‘better’. We were talking about how he saw himself, what he saw when he looked in the mirror and why certain features still held so much significance for him.

This is where aesthetic medicine can become about much more than appearance. The way we perceive our own face is deeply personal, and a feature that someone else might barely notice can affect the way we feel about ourselves. Understanding that psychology, and what sits behind someone’s decision to have treatment, is just as important to me as the treatment itself.

Something that really stayed with me was Louie telling me that, as a trans man, he had seen my work online and felt I would be a safe person to trust with his face. I don’t take that lightly. There is a huge amount of trust involved in allowing someone to make changes to your face, particularly when the reasons for wanting those changes are so closely connected to your sense of self.

Part 2 to follow, where I’ll share Louie’s treatment and results.

When we look at someone like Salma Hayek at 60, it can subtly shift our expectations of what ageing is supposed to look like.

But celebrity ageing needs context. Maintaining facial structure and skin quality to this degree over several decades is unlikely to come down to a single intervention or simply good genetics. Results like these are more likely to reflect a considered approach over many years, with different procedures potentially playing a role at different stages.

What stands out to me is how recognisable she remains. Good aesthetic work should preserve the characteristics that make someone look like themselves, rather than creating a different face. That becomes increasingly important when we are considering more significant intervention as we age.

Celebrity images can easily influence our perception of what is normal or achievable at 60. There is nothing wrong with investing in how you age, but results of this standard are likely to involve considerable time, expertise and financial investment.

This is an observational analysis based on publicly available images. Salma has not confirmed the procedures discussed in this reel.

I like to think of BBL + MOXI as the ultimate skin duo.

They can absolutely be used independently, but I often combine them because they target different aspects of skin quality.

BBL (BroadBand Light) targets colour within the skin. Depending on the settings and the individual, that might mean redness, visible blood vessels or pigmentation from sun damage. It can also be used as part of ongoing skin maintenance, with the aim of keeping the complexion looking brighter and more even.

MOXI is a non-ablative fractional laser, so I think about this more from a texture perspective. It creates microscopic treatment zones within the skin to encourage renewal, helping to improve texture and give the skin a smoother appearance.

So think: BBL for tone. MOXI for texture.

For me, the overall goal isn’t perfect skin. Skin will always have pores, texture and imperfections. It’s about improving the quality of the skin you already have.

I personally have BBL + MOXI around every 4 months, alongside a consistent skincare routine at home. That doesn’t mean everyone needs the same treatment or schedule. What we recommend depends on your skin, your concerns and what we’re actually trying to achieve.

One of the reasons I like this combination is the relatively minimal downtime. I’m usually red and warm immediately afterwards, followed by a few days where the skin can feel slightly rough or dry as it settles.

And a special mention to Abbi, our Skin Practitioner, who looked after both Julian and me for our treatments.

Full face rejuvenation with Dr Sarah.

One of our signature treatments, and one we particularly enjoy performing as practitioners, because it allows us to look at the face as a whole rather than treating individual features in isolation.

For Charlotte, the focus was on identifying where volume had been lost and where subtle adjustments could help restore support and balance across the face.

In the right patient, dermal filler is an incredibly effective tool for achieving this. It can provide a level of structural support that other non-surgical treatments simply can’t replicate, particularly for patients in their mid-30s to early 40s who have minimal facial laxity and mild to moderate volume loss.

But filler isn’t for everyone. Like every treatment in aesthetic medicine, it has its limitations, which is why patient selection is so important to us.

We’re very considered about who we recommend treatment for and will only proceed when we genuinely believe someone is a suitable candidate.

Adriana Lima is turning heads again. The 45-year-old supermodel stepped out at the El Corte Inglés Closing Party for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Madrid at the Reina Sofía Museum on 18 September, and her appearance has quickly become a talking point online.

It comes nearly 3 years after Adriana faced intense scrutiny over her appearance at The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes premiere in November 2023, following the birth of her third child, Cyan, in August 2022.

Now, her facial contours appear incredibly tight and defined, while the overall positioning of her features looks remarkably similar to a decade ago.

Maintaining facial structure like this over time is rarely about one thing alone. Great skincare, lifestyle, injectables and potentially surgical rejuvenation can all play a role, although we cannot know exactly what Adriana may or may not have chosen to have done simply from photographs.

Whatever is behind her current look, those iconic Adriana Lima features are still unmistakable.

💬 What do you think of her latest look?
