One of the questions I’m asked most often is: “Why is it important to choose a registered nurse for your aesthetic treatments?”

For me, it comes down to one thing above all else: safety. 🤍

As a registered nurse, my training goes far beyond the treatment itself. I have an understanding of anatomy, physiology, patient care and how to recognise and manage potential complications; all of which are incredibly important when you’re treating someone’s face.

I don’t believe aesthetics should ever be about simply injecting or following a trend. It’s about understanding the individual in front of me, knowing when a treatment is appropriate (and when it isn’t), and making sure my clients feel safe and cared for throughout their journey.

I’m incredibly proud to be a nurse-led aesthetics practitioner, and I genuinely believe that who you choose to trust with your face matters.

If you’re considering aesthetic treatment, please do your research, ask questions and make sure you feel completely comfortable with the practitioner you choose. 🙌🏼

For the first video in our PYC: In Depth series, I wanted to talk more about different lip filler techniques I like to use! 💉

When you come for lip filler at Perfectly You Co, the approach is never one-size-fits-all.

The technique(s) we use are determined by your anatomy, your facial structure and your desired results.

It’s vital that your aesthetic practitioner not only knows how to carry out different injection techniques, but when they are and are not appropriate for that particular client.

I also touch on the importance of understanding facial anatomy, in particular the different arteries that come into play when injecting dermal filler.

Sometimes, the most important thing I can do as a practitioner is not carry out a treatment. 🤍

With my client’s consent, I wanted to share a situation where I made the decision not to go ahead with treatment because I could see that my client was struggling with her mental health.

For me, being a practitioner is about so much more than the treatment itself. It’s about looking at the person sitting in front of me, listening, noticing the little signs, and knowing when something doesn’t feel quite right.

We can become so focused on the procedure, the result and the appointment that it’s sometimes easy to look over the fact that there is a real person behind it all with their own emotions, struggles and circumstances.

I believe it’s my responsibility to put the person before the procedure, always.

Sometimes being there, having a conversation, listening without judgement and simply showing someone that you care is more important than any treatment I could provide. 🫶🏼

Running a fully-booked clinic whilst having a child under 1 is definitely not for the faint hearted, but this experience has for sure shaped me into the mum and business woman I am today 🤍

Over the last year, I’ve learnt so much about what it means to wear multiple (really important) hats, and also how much of a toll it can take on you when your energy is stretched thin.

So if you’re a mum who’s juggling lots of plates, I see you. You’re amazing and you deserve to look after yourself, too ✨
