A corn is a small, hard plug of thickened skin that develops when your feet are repeatedly exposed to pressure or friction.

What causes corns?
• Tight or ill-fitting shoes
• High heels that shift pressure onto the toes
• Foot deformities like bunions or hammertoes
• Walking or standing for long periods
• Even walking barefoot can create excessive friction.

Where do they appear?
Most commonly on the tops and sides of toes, between the toes (where they stay soft from moisture), or on the balls of the feet.

How do you treat them?
✔️ wear properly fitted footwear.
✔️ Use protective corn pads or cushioning.
✔️ Soak your feet and gently file away thickened skin with a pumice stone.
✔️ Moisturise regularly to keep skin supple.
✔️ Persistent or painful corns can be attended to by a podiatrist or healthcare professional.

5 things you’re doing wrong with your skin:
1. OVER scrubbing
Gentle cleanser, lukewarm water and hands

2. Youre NOT using moisturiser because you have oily skin?
Use a lightweight, non pore blocking moisturiser.

3. Not using SPF daily
Broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 every morning, with reapplication when you’re outdoors for extended periods.

4.Using too many serums:
Introduce actives slowly and strategically.

5.Not giving products the time to be effective:
Be consistent and give appropriate treatments time to work

Cleanse gently.
Hydrate.
Treat intelligently.
Protect religiously.
And give your skin time to respond.

Gastric side effects of GLP1 inhibitors
These medications slow gastric emptying, reduce appetite and alter gut signalling.

SIDE EFFECTS:
-Nausea – especially when starting or increasing the dose.
-Bloating and burping
-Vomiting – usually more likely if the dose is increased too quickly or you’re eating beyond your new appetite.
-Diarrhoea
-Constipation – equally common, particularly when you’re eating much less and drinking too little.

TIPS:
1. Start low and increase slowly.
2. Smaller meals.
3. Eat slowly.
4. Go easy on greasy, fried and very rich foods.
5. Hydrate.
6. Don’t forget fibre—but introduce it sensibly.
7. Keep moving.

And remember: persistent or severe abdominal pain, repeated vomiting, inability to keep fluids down, significant abdominal distension, or severe constipation is NOT a “push through it” situation. Speak to your doctor promptly. ❤️

As we age, the platysma muscle — that broad, sheet-like muscle running from your jawline down your neck — can become increasingly active and prominent.

You may notice vertical neck bands, downward pulling around the jawline, a less defined jaw, or that slightly “cord-like” appearance when you talk, smile or clench.

Toxin can temporarily relax the overactive platysma, reducing those prominent bands and some of the downward muscular pull. The result can be a softer-looking neck, improved jawline definition and a more elegant transition from face to neck.

Inject too deeply, too much, or in the wrong location and you can potentially get difficulty swallowing, neck weakness, changes in voice, muscle imbalance or an uneven smile.

If your main concern is loose skin, significant fat, or structural ageing, toxin alone won’t magically turn your neck into a 25-year-old neck.

You may need a combination approach such as skincare, energy-based treatments, collagen stimulation or other appropriately selected treatments. ❤️

COLLAGEN: THE BODY’S SECRET SCAFFOLDING!

Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body and it’s found in your skin, bones, joints, tendons, blood vessels and even your teeth.

Type I is the superstar of skin, bones, tendons and ligaments. It gives skin strength and structure — basically your body’s building material.

Type II is the joint specialist. It’s concentrated in cartilage and helps provide that lovely cushioning between your joints.

Type III works alongside Type I, particularly in skin, blood vessels, muscles and organs.

Type IV is a little different. It forms part of the basement membranes — the delicate scaffolding that supports and separates layers of tissue.

And Type V? It helps regulate collagen formation and is found in tissues including skin, hair and the placenta.

Now, collagen has plenty of advantages — strength, structure, elasticity and support.

COLLAGEN PRODUCTION DECLINES WITH AGE.
And sun exposure, smoking, poor nutrition, oxidative stress and hormonal changes can accelerate collagen breakdown.

So can we replace it?

Well… you can’t simply eat collagen and expect it to march directly into your face!

Your body breaks collagen down into amino acids and peptides and uses those building blocks where needed.

You can support collagen production with adequate protein, vitamin C, zinc and a nutrient-rich diet, while protecting your existing collagen with daily broad-spectrum sunscreen and avoiding smoking.

And in aesthetics, we can stimulate collagen with treatments such as microneedling, certain lasers and radiofrequency devices, biostimulators and selected injectable treatments — depending on the individual. ❤️

Beard rash

Also known as pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB).

CAUSES:
-the freshly cut hair curls back into the skin, triggering inflammation — particularly common in men with tightly curled or coarse hair.

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
• Redness and burning
• Itching or tenderness
• Tiny red or skin-coloured bumps
• Ingrown hairs
• Pus-filled spots if follicles become infected
• Dark marks or pigmentation after the inflammation settles

TREATMENT:
Give the razor a little holiday!
✔️ Avoid shaving over irritated skin
✔️ Use a gentle cleanser and moisturiser
✔️ salicylic acid or glycolic acid to help prevent blocked follicles
✔️ Topical anti-inflammatory treatment
✔️ prescription treatment such as topical retinoids or antibiotics
✔️ laser hair reduction

PREVENTION:
✨ Soften the beard with warm water first
✨ Use a clean, sharp razor
✨ Shave with the direction of hair growth
✨ Don’t stretch the skin while shaving
✨ Avoid repeated passes over the same area
✨ Don’t shave too closely
✨ Replace blades regularly
✨ Moisturise afterwards
✨ Avoid heavily fragranced aftershaves if your skin is sensitive

Plantar Fasciitis:
This is a thick band of tissue that runs from your heel to your toes, acting like a shock absorber and supporting the arch of your foot.
When it’s repeatedly overstretched, tiny tears develop, leading to irritation, inflammation and pain.

Who’s most likely to get it? 
-Runners and athletes.
 -People who spend hours standing or walking.
-overweight people
 -People with flat feet or very high arches.
 -Regular high-heel wearers—or those in unsupportive, worn-out shoes.
 -It’s also more common between the ages of 40 and 60.

The tell-tale signs:
-Sharp pain under the heel, especially with the first steps
-Pain that eases after walking a little but returns after prolonged standing or exercise.
-Tenderness on the underside of the heel.
-Tight calves and stiffness in the foot are common partners in crime.

How do you treat it?
✔️ Stretch your calves and plantar fascia daily.
✔️ Wear supportive footwear with good arch support.
✔️ Consider orthotics if your foot mechanics need correcting.
✔️ Ice the area for 15–20 minutes after activity.
✔️ Reduce high-impact exercise until symptoms settle.
✔️ Physiotherapy can improve flexibility and strengthen the foot and lower leg.
✔️ Persistent cases may benefit from shockwave therapy,  (PRP), orcorticosteroid injections. ✔️Surgery is rarely needed

Don’t ignore heel pain! Walking through the pain often changes the way you walk, which can lead to knee, hip and even back problems.
Your feet carry you through life—give them the support they deserve, and they’ll return the favour... one pain-free step at a time

Stopping your toxin injections does not make you look older. Remember the aging process continues either way and toxins are used to slow this down. ❤️

Psoriasis:
-a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory condition where the immune system increases skin-cell production resulting in thick, red, scaly patches.

Affects anyone and
all skin tones.

Triggers:
-Genetics
-stress
-infections
-smoking
-alcohol
-certain medications
-skin injuries
-cold weather

What does it look and feel like?
• Red, inflamed or darker patches with silvery-white scaling
• Itching, burning or soreness
• Commonly affects the elbows, knees, scalp and lower back
• Nail changes such as pitting, thickening or separation from the nail bed
• Sometimes the inflammation affects the joints too — psoriatic arthritis can cause pain, stiffness and swelling.

Treatment :
Depending on severity, options include moisturisers, topical corticosteroids, vitamin-D-based treatments,
phototherapy, oral medications and biologic therapies. The goal is to control inflammation, reduce flares and protect quality of life.

Management:
Moisturise regularly, identify your triggers, avoid picking or scratching, maintain a healthy lifestyle and treat infections promptly.
