Why does my skin go so red after Skin Needling? ❤️

It’s one of the most common questions we get…

“Is my skin supposed to look like this?”

The answer is yes. 🤍

That redness isn’t your skin being damaged—it’s your body doing exactly what it was designed to do.

During Skin Needling, thousands of tiny, controlled micro-channels are created in the skin. Your body immediately recognises these tiny injuries and switches into repair mode.

Blood flow increases.
Healing cells rush to the area.
Growth factors are released.
Collagen and elastin production is triggered.

That flushed, sunburn-like appearance is simply your skin saying:
“I’ve started rebuilding.”

It’s the beginning of one of the most incredible healing processes your body can perform.

Over the following weeks, your skin gets to work creating stronger collagen, improving texture, softening fine lines, reducing acne scars, fading pigmentation and restoring a healthier, more radiant complexion.

The redness is temporary…
But the changes happening underneath can last for months.

At Lilly, every treatment is tailored to your skin. We carefully adjust needle depth, technique and aftercare to ensure you’re getting the safest treatment with the best possible results.

Sometimes, the most beautiful skin begins with a little redness. ❤️✨

Have you ever had Skin Needling? What surprised you most about the healing process? 👇

Me getting ready for my Netflix documentary… 🍿😂

Because apparently one season includes:
✨ Building a business from the ground up
✨ Surviving a global pandemic
✨ Navigating internal theft
✨ Going through a divorce
✨ Hearing the words “you have cancer”
✨ Surgery & treatment
✨ And somehow… still showing up for my team, my clients and my family.

Life has a funny way of testing how much you can carry.

But here’s what I’ve learned…
You don’t always get to choose what happens to you.
You do get to choose whether it breaks you or builds you.

I’m still here.
Still standing.
Still dreaming bigger than ever.

And if my story helps just one person keep going when life feels impossible… then every chapter has been worth it. ❤️

Who’s binge-watching this series? 😅🍿

The cancer was almost 3 times the size that was measured via ultrasound and mammogram 😳

When we first found it, they thought the tumor was about 2 cm. Now we know it’s actually 7 x 3 x 2 cm—and 3 cm of it is aggressive cancer. Unfortunately, that means I start chemo in a couple of weeks.
I meet the oncologist on Monday to plan.

I definitely didn't think it would end up that way, but this isn't like end like we hoped 😮‍💨

To give you more insight for the people who want to know or understand the difference between cancers - my tumour was found with HER2-positive cancer, which are way more aggressive. The cells have extra HER2 proteins, which make them grow faster (hence the shock, because it was only diagnosed about 8 weeks ago).

Unlike hormone-positive cancers that rely on estrogen or progesterone, HER2 cancers don’t respond to hormone-blocking treatments. Instead, they’re treated with targeted therapies like chemotherapy and immuno-therapy, which specifically block HER2 receptors. This difference in biology means a more aggressive approach is often necessary, which is why my plan is shifting now. 💔

Ill be out of the clinic more and resting between treatments. If im feeling ok to come in, i can announce it. However, if youd just like to go on the waitlist them you definitely can do. Just DM us if you can't find the waitlist on our booking system.
Please don't just rely on the hopes that you might get an appointment, just incase you can't, please make sure you book in with my amazing team. Then will have everything covered & they have amazing skills and knowledge 👌

If you are wanting to help in any way forward, please share these posts, check your breasts and dont wait if you feel anything suspicious, make an appointment with my team members in the clinic, and donate to cancer research. Australia is leading the way when it comes to breasts cancer. This gives me a lot of confidence in our medical system 🙏

Ill see you Lilly Angels here and there. And book your next appointment to stay on top of your treatments ♥️♥️

Love always,

I HAVE A CONFESSION...
As the surgery date got closer and closer, I became more and more scared and nervous 😓

It was a big surgery!
I made a video or two to post on here with updates, progress, surgery decisions - but I just couldn't bring myself to make the edits or even just post the damn thing.

Anyway - here is the update after surgery last Wednesday! All went well so far, but please put cross your fingers with me on the hopes that the biopsy of the tumour and the lymph node that was removed is nothing to be of concern fingers 🤞

Thank you for all of the beautiful messages, flowers and gifts 🙏 I am truly grateful for all of your love and support ❤️

Love always,
Lauren xx

✨ “Why do we ask you to come back in 2 weeks?”

One of the questions we get asked all the time is…
“Why do I need a review appointment?”

In today’s video, our Senior Cosmetic Nurse Sophia explains exactly why that 2-week review is such an important part of your treatment.

It’s not because something has gone wrong—it’s because we’re committed to achieving the safest and best possible outcome for every client.

At your review appointment, we assess:
✨ How your muscles have responded
✨ Whether your treatment has settled as expected
✨ If any small adjustments are needed (where clinically appropriate)
✨ That you’re happy with your results

Everybody responds differently, which is why we don’t believe in a “treat and goodbye” approach. We believe in ongoing care, education, and making sure you’re supported throughout your journey.

That’s the Lilly difference. 💛
