Weight Loss Is Good For Your Health — But What About Your Face?

There is no question that achieving a healthy weight can have enormous health benefits.
Weight loss can:
✔ Reduce inflammation
✔ Improve metabolic health
✔ Lower the risk of diabetes and heart disease
✔ Improve energy and wellbeing

For many people, medications such as Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Mounjaro® have been incredibly valuable tools in achieving these goals.
At Skinfresh, we fully recognise the important role these medications can play in improving health as does Dr Frances Pitsilis

However, significant weight loss can sometimes lead to facial changes such as:
▪️ Hollow cheeks
▪️ Loss of facial volume
▪️ A more tired appearance
▪️ Increased skin laxity

The good news?
You don't have to choose between health and appearance.

Dr Frances Pitsilis combines expertise as both a Chronic illness Doctor and Cosmetic Doctor, helping patients optimise:

✨ Health and metabolism
✨ Weight management
✨ Skin quality
✨ Facial rejuvenation
✨ Healthy ageing

Our philosophy is simple: Lose weight. Improve health. Look great. Feel great.

⚠️ WARNING: EXOSOME TREATMENTS ⚠️ Exosome skin treatments are being heavily marketed as “natural” and “cutting-edge” for anti-ageing, pigmentation, hair loss and skin rejuvenation – but there are NO FDA‑approved exosome products for skin, and serious reactions have already been reported in medical literature.

One published case: A healthy 46‑year‑old had exosomes via microneedling and injections at a spa. Within days she developed multiple itchy lumps, granulomatous inflammation, foreign‑body and hypersensitivity reactions, early scarring, and needed oral steroids plus multiple steroid injections. This was not a minor reaction – and long‑term cosmetic consequences are possible.

Key concerns: • Many exosomes come from donor tissue – you are putting another person’s biological material into your skin • Long‑term safety is unknown • Product quality and contents can vary • Immune or inflammatory reactions may appear later Popularity does NOT equal proven safety.

If you want collagen stimulation and skin rejuvenation, there are safer, better‑studied options – for example, Platelet‑Rich Plasma (PRP) using your own blood, significantly reducing allergy and foreign‑body risk.

Before any “regenerative” treatment, always ask: “Do we have good evidence that this is BOTH safe and effective?” With exosomes, the answer is still no.

Any clinic offering exosome treatments is following fashion, not science. Please be careful with your skin and your health.

Profhilo® vs Dermal Fillers — What’s the Difference?

Many patients ask whether they need Profhilo or Dermal fillers.

Although both treatments use hyaluronic acid, they work very differently.

✨ Profhilo® improves skin quality by stimulating collagen and hydration.
✨ Dermal fillers restore volume and shape in areas such as cheeks, lips, and jawline.

Think of it this way:

✔ Profhilo = healthier, more radiant skin
✔ Fillers = restoring structure and contour

At Skinfresh in Milford, Dr Frances Pitsilis and her Nurses focus on natural, balanced results by choosing the treatment — or combination of treatments — that best suits your skin.

Many Women Prefer a Holistic Approach

Many cosmetic clinics focus only on external treatments.

However, skin health is closely connected to:
• Hormonal balance
• Metabolic function
• Nutrition
• Stress and inflammation

Skinfresh takes a holistic medical approach, recognising that improving internal health can often enhance the results of cosmetic treatments.

This integrated approach can be particularly valuable for women navigating menopause-related skin changes.

Skinfresh starts treatment from the inside and has been doing this since 2003
