Yep. And before anyone asks, no, I haven’t got into the Halloween spirit early.

The Pumpkin Enzymes treatment is one I tend to reach for with thicker, more resilient skin, especially when there’s congestion or a rough buildup sitting on the surface. Here’s how it works.

• Pumpkin enzymes. They break down the proteins holding dead skin cells together on the surface, so those cells can be lifted away without any heavy scrubbing.
• Salicylic acid. It’s oil soluble, so it works its way into the pore lining to loosen trapped oil and debris.
• A finishing peel. I’ll choose either the Lactobotanical or Pomegranate Peel, depending on what your skin needs on the day.

It can go on as a full-face mask or as a spot treatment on the areas that need it.

And if you’d like to make more of the appointment, it can be paired with the Oxyglow Treatment too.

Not sure whether it suits your skin? That’s what a consultation’s for. Give me a call or book in and we’ll have a proper look.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗕𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 — 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗚𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝗻 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗻

I get asked about bruising a lot. And honestly, I love the question because once you understand what’s actually happening at a tissue level, it makes a lot more sense and feels a lot less alarming.

Here’s what’s going on.

Your face is a highly vascular environment. That means there are blood vessels - capillaries, venules, arterioles - running through every layer of tissue. They’re small, they’re fragile in places, and they sit within a complex web of connective tissue, fat, and muscle.

When any of those vessels are disturbed, even minimally, they can leak. The blood that escapes doesn’t stay put - it tracks through the surrounding tissue and eventually becomes visible at the skin’s surface as discolouration. That’s a bruise.

The colour progression you see is actually your body doing exactly what it’s supposed to:

• Red or purple at first, that’s fresh blood, still high in oxygen, sitting close to the surface.
•Blue or dark purple within a day or two - the haemoglobin in that blood starts to break down.
• Green, then yellow, then gone: your lymphatic system and macrophages are clearing the haemosiderin (the iron-containing byproduct) out of the tissue.

The whole process can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the size of the vessel involved, the depth of the tissue, your individual circulation, medications you’re taking (especially blood thinners or anti-inflammatories), and even genetics.

It’s worth knowing this isn’t a sign anything went wrong. It’s a normal physiological response, your body doing what bodies do.

If you’ve got questions about what to expect or how to minimise bruising risk before a treatment, I’m always happy to talk through it at a consultation.

Happy Birthday to my dear husband ❤️

𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮 𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴

"I thought I'd be done with this by now." I hear that one a lot. Usually from someone in their thirties or forties, slightly annoyed about it. Fair enough.

Adult breakouts are really common. Hormones, stress, a skincare routine that's quietly working against you... there's rarely just one reason.

One of the tools I use for breakout-prone skin is the Aerolase laser. Here's how it works:

It's a 1064 nm laser with a very short pulse of 650 microseconds
That energy is absorbed by its targets in the skin, including the bacteria associated with breakouts, before the surrounding tissue has time to heat up
No cooling system is needed, and the energy stays consistent throughout the session

Look, laser isn't the whole answer for everyone. Sometimes it's one part of a plan alongside peels or changes to your home care. Sometimes it's not the right fit at all. That's what the consultation is for.

What to expect when you come in:

A skin assessment and a proper chat about your history
Skin preparation before your first session
A plan built around your skin, not a one size fits all package

If you're in the "I thought I'd grown out of this" camp, come in and we'll work out what's going on. Book a consultation online or give me a call.

𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗻 🎂

Yesterday was Susan's birthday, and we couldn't let it pass without saying a proper thank you.

If you've called the clinic or walked through our door, you'll know Susan. She's the friendly voice on the phone, the warm welcome at the front desk, and the person who keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

We're so lucky to have her on the team. 💕

I hope you had a wonderful day, Susan. You deserve it.

Still celebrating our birthday girl Chloe, and getting in some early practice for Angus's 30th while we're at it. 🥂

More photos to come. Apparently we're not done yet.

The whole crew has flown up to Bali to celebrate, and I can't think of a better excuse for a bit of sunshine. 🌺

Thirty years of you. Where on earth did that go?

And Angus, don't think we've forgotten. Your 30th is just around the corner, so we're calling this a double celebration. Two birthdays, one island, and plenty of cocktails between now and then. 🍹

Love you both. Enjoy every minute of it.

Microneedling uses a device to create tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin. That controlled injury triggers the skin's own repair response, which can help to produce firmer looking skin. It's your skin doing the work. The device just prompts it.

The device we use is the SkinPen. I chose it specifically: it's the first FDA-cleared microneedling device in the world. That's not a marketing line. It means it's gone through the kind of clinical validation that a lot of devices in this space haven't.

It's adjustable in needle depth, which matters because skin isn't uniform and treatment shouldn't be either. And it's built for precision, which is what I want when I'm working on someone's face.

Over a course of several treatments, people commonly notice:
• Improved skin texture and smoothness
• Reduced appearance of acne scarring
• Finer-looking pores
• More even skin tone
• General improvement in skin quality and firmness

Winter is a particularly good time for microneedling. Post-treatment, your skin needs to stay out of direct sun while it heals. Our winters make that a lot more manageable.

If you've been curious, come in and we'll have a proper conversation about whether it's the right fit for you.
