Studio Aesthetics by Sarah Foley

For this client, a tailored combination of dermal filler and anti-wrinkle treatment, gently supporting jawline definition and overall facial balance.

The face changes over time, and not always in ways that are easy to name. Sometimes it's a softening along the jaw. Sometimes it's a shift in how the lower face sits in relation to the rest.

My approach is to look at the face as a whole, not feature by feature. Small, considered adjustments in the right places, rather than chasing one area in isolation.

Every plan is personal. Every approach is subtle.

If you'd like to explore what might suit you, a complimentary consultation is the place to start 🤍

The worry about looking frozen is something I hear all the time, and I understand it.

So much of how we recognise the people we love lives in the smallest movements. The way your brows lift when you're really listening. The soft crinkle at the corners of your eyes when you laugh.

None of that has to go anywhere. Anti-wrinkle treatments, used carefully, can soften the lines that have started to settle in without taking your expression with them. You still look like you. Just a little more rested.

That's why I take my time during a consultation. Every face is different, and so is what each person is hoping to feel when they look in the mirror.

If you've been holding back because you're worried about looking overdone, you're always welcome to come in for a conversation first 🤍

Most of the women who come to see me aren't looking to change their face.

They're looking for something quieter than that. A way to feel a little more like themselves again. Not younger, not different, just a bit more recognisable when they catch their reflection.

That's the kind of work I love most. Nothing dramatic. Nothing that announces itself. Just gentle, thoughtful support for the face that's already there.

If you feel like you can resonate, you're more than welcome to come in for a conversation first 🤍

A gentle anti-wrinkle treatment for this lovely client, used to soften the appearance of fine lines while keeping expression natural and unchanged.

I take a conservative approach with anti-wrinkle. The goal isn't to flatten or freeze. It's to soften what's been bothering someone, while leaving everything else exactly as it is.

A face that still moves, still feels, still looks entirely like the person it belongs to.

Whenever you're ready, a complimentary consultation is the first step 🤍

Most people assume it's simply age. And while time plays a part, what's actually happening is more layered than that.

Repeated muscle movement creases the skin over years. Volume gradually shifts and reduces, changing how the face sits. And the skin itself becomes thinner and less supported, making those changes more visible.

Each cause responds to something different.

Anti-wrinkle treatment addresses muscle movement. Dermal filler restores volume where the face has changed. Skin boosters work on skin quality and resilience from within, rather than targeting a specific line or area.

Most people don't need all three. The right approach depends entirely on what's actually happening in your face, and that's never the same for everyone.

That's why I always start with a conversation. Understanding what's driving the changes you're noticing is the only way to know what would genuinely help.

You're welcome to book a free consultation whenever you feel ready 🤍

Expression is what makes your face yours. It's also the first thing people worry about losing when they consider anti-wrinkle treatment. The frozen look. The inability to raise an eyebrow or show surprise. It's one of the most common concerns I hear and it's worth addressing honestly.

Botulinum toxin works by gently relaxing the specific muscles responsible for repeated movement. Lines form where the skin folds again and again over years. The treatment reduces that movement, which softens the crease over time.

When it's done well, expression is protected. You can still smile, frown, squint and raise your brows. What changes is the depth of the lines those movements create, not the movements themselves.

The frozen look comes from too much product, placed without enough care. It is not an inevitable outcome. It's what happens when the goal is elimination rather than softening.

My goal is always the latter.

If you're curious about what anti-wrinkle treatment could look like for you, a free consultation is a good place to start 🌷
