Guernsey Medispa

I came across these photos, and they made me giggle, and immediately I thought of every woman who has ever said to me, “I just do a few pelvic floor exercises or some crazy poses and it will sort itself out”.

If you have been doing every pelvic floor exercise you can find, crossing your legs every time you sneeze, or planning your life around where the nearest toilet is there is a rather more comfortable solution.

The Emsella chair does the equivalent of eleven thousand pelvic floor contractions in a single twenty eight minute session. You sit fully clothed, you relax, and it does all the work for you.

No headstands required🤣

It is one of the treatments I am most passionate about at Guernsey Medispa because the difference it makes to women’s confidence and quality of life is genuinely remarkable. And yet so many women are still just getting on with it and assuming this is simply what life looks like now.

It really does not have to be!

DM us the word SKIN and we will tell you everything you need to know about whether Emsella might be right for you.

It is with great sadness that we make this post to tell you that Doctor Daniel Sister has passed away.

Daniel joined us in 2016 and became a much-loved part of Guernsey Medispa.

A leading light in aesthetic medicine, he brought exceptional knowledge, skill and thoughtfulness to his work. He was always willing to consider new ideas and clinical papers carefully, then explain them in clear, everyday language.

He was a wonderful mentor to me and taught me so much about platelet-rich plasma, his specialist field.

He loved training and teaching, was endlessly patient and unruffled with us, and always encouraged us to think things through.

Daniel had a wonderfully dry sense of humour and was our much-loved pretend grumpy Frenchman.

The girls, especially Helen, loved teasing him and it always made him laugh.

Ella would give him facials and tidy his eyebrows, then tell him that he was now her nurse and she was the doctor. He taught her how to inject Botox and even helped her with her French homework.

Daniel loved listening to Leonard Cohen and smoking ci**rs, and he and his cigar were rarely parted.

He was much more than a great doctor and colleague to us; he was our friend and mentor, and someone we will miss enormously.

Thank you, Daniel, for everything you gave to us and to the clinic.

Rest in peace 🩷

Would you wash this plate with just water? 👀

Of course not. Most of the debris, the grease and the residue would stay right there on the plate no matter how much water you ran over it.

Your skin works in exactly the same way.

That’s what I was thinking after my bacon and eggs yesterday morning.

Throughout the day, old skin cells, excess oil, pollution, SPF residue and everything else your skin encounters builds up on the surface. You cannot always see it, but it is absolutely there. And if you are cleansing with water alone, or with a cleanser that is not pH balanced, you are essentially rinsing the plate and hoping for the best.

A good pH balanced cleanser is not a luxury step in your routine. It is the foundation that everything else depends on. Your serums, your moisturiser, your SPF - none of them can work properly on skin that has not been properly cleansed first.

This is one of the simplest and most impactful changes you can make to your skincare routine, and it costs very little to get right.

If you would like to know what we recommend for menopausal skin specifically, simply DM us the word SKIN and we will come straight back to you.

The skincare we use at Guernsey Medispa has to do two things at once. It must be potent enough to work through the different layers of skin, and gentle enough not to destroy menopausal skin in the process.

One of the questions I get asked most often is why we use brands like ESK in our clinic rather than those you can order online without a professional.

It comes down to one thing - menopausal skin is in a genuinely difficult position. It needs active ingredients at concentrations that are high enough to make a real difference which you won’t find on the high street.

Your skin is also thinner, more sensitive and more reactive than it used to be, which means it cannot always tolerate the aggressive formulations that younger skin handles without a second thought.

ESK sits in that sweet spot and every product is built around peer reviewed, published science with active ingredients used at the concentrations they were actually studied at, rather than the token amounts that so many skincare brands use just to put them on the label.

I am also very pleased to tell you that two of the products we stock and recommend, the Enlighten Gold morning pigmentation moisturiser and the Ultimate A Gold evening Retinal cream, have just won Tatler Beauty Awards 2026.

Tatler's expert panel evaluates every product through rigorous independent clinical trials, which, for a range built on evidence rather than marketing is the kind of recognition worth celebrating.

I read a book last year and still to this day I think about it

Ultra-Processed People by Chris van Tulleken.

If you have not come across it yet, I would absolutely recommend picking it up, because it connected so many dots for me about what I see happening with women in the clinic every single week.

The women I am thinking of are the ones who come in with inflammation they cannot explain. Skin that is reactive, red or just somehow off despite a really good skincare routine. Women who are doing everything right by every measure and still not feeling the way they want to feel.

And then you look at the research. A study published in Maturitas confirmed what many of us working in this space had suspected for some time. The more ultra-processed food women consume, the worse their menopause symptoms become, and that includes vasomotor symptoms, cognitive changes, emotional wellbeing and more.

This is not about diet culture. It is about biology, and it is about the fact that we genuinely cannot separate how a woman looks from how she is eating, how her hormones are functioning and how much stress her system is under.

It’s why I have been evolving our approach to reflect exactly this. Yes, we offer advanced body sculpting and skin treatments, but we also work alongside nutritionists, support conversations around hormonal health and help women make changes that work with their whole system rather than just the surface of it.

Real transformation takes strategy, the right support and proper science behind it.

What other books on all things health, wellness and women’s health are you reading or have read this summer?
