The Cosmedic Company

When I trained in medical aesthetics, I knew my career would be very much about skill, safety and technique, but it’s also about so much more. 

People rarely sit down and talk only about a line or a bit of volume. They tell you about the divorce, the loss, the year that knocked them flat. You quickly realise you’re not just treating a face, you’re meeting someone at a particular moment in their life, and looking after that side of it matters as much as the treatment itself.

Also, saying no becomes one of your most important skills. Talking someone out of a treatment they don’t need is far harder than saying yes. But the patients who stay with you for years are almost always the ones you were honest with early on.

The longer I do this, the more I’ve noticed it doesn’t make you bolder. It makes you more careful, more honest, and more protective of the people in your chair.

If that’s the kind of care you’ve been looking for, you’re in the right place🤍

“Can you just fill these lines around my mouth?” It’s one of the most common things I’m asked, and the answer is usually no, not how you might expect.

Here’s the thing most people don’t realise: the lines around the mouth aren’t all the same problem. Some are caused by lost volume higher up in the cheek, so the skin has less support and starts to fold. Filling the crease directly is often the wrong move, and it’s exactly how a face starts to look heavy. Restore the support where it’s actually gone, and the line softens on its own.

The fine vertical lines on the lips are a different story again. Those are about skin quality, not volume, and they respond well to treatments that improve skin quality, often combined with a technique using a very thin dermal filler to soften the lines.

So the real answer is that it depends entirely on your face. Working out the cause before reaching for a treatment is the whole job, and it’s what protects you from that overfilled look.

There are a few things I hear almost every week, and nearly all of them start with a bit of worry 🤍

The one that comes up most is “I don’t want to look like I’ve had anything done.” Every time, it reassures me because it means we already want the same thing. When treatments are performed well, thoughtfully, and with your face in mind, people should just think you look well and not quite know why.

What sits underneath so many of these conversations is the same fear: that wanting to feel better about how you look is somehow silly or vain. It isn’t. For a lot of the women I see, it comes after a hard few years of putting themselves last, and wanting to feel like themselves again is one of the most human things there is.

You don’t need to arrive knowing what you want, or wait until it feels “bad enough,” or apologise for being there at all. That’s what the first conversation is for.

If any of this sounds familiar, book a consultation and let’s talk it through. No pressure, and always an honest answer 🤍
