Laura Aesthetics and PMU

Today is World Mental Health Day, and I couldn’t let it pass without an acknowledgement.

I love what I do, not just because it allows me to make people feel good about themselves. But because it means I can provide a listening ear. When my clients come in for a treatment, I want them to know it is a safe, judgment-free space.

So if you are struggling with your mental health, please speak up because people do care. I care.

There is only one reason that my client would be smiling this much: it’s brow top-up day.

Fresh, natural and framing the face to perfection! Have a great week, everyone.

Many treatments are better done during the colder months; microsclerotherapy is one of them.

Microsclerotherapy safely reduces the appearance of thread veins, which occur when capillaries (the smallest blood vessels) become permanently dilated and rupture, spreading blood to other capillaries. When done on the legs, you need to wear compression leggings for 1-2 weeks post-treatment, which is why it’s better timed for autumn/winter, when we usually hide our pins anyway!

This is a great before-and-after of a microsclerotherapy treatment that I carried out earlier in the year. The results were fantastic.

Today I am taking you on a little journey back to where it all started…

Yes, this is me. Young, sprightly and full of enthusiasm for the career ahead. Do I ever look back and regret my choices? Absolutely not.

That enthusiasm I had all those years ago is still here and grows by the day. I know I go on about this a lot, but I love learning, and it’s the nature of my industry, with ever-changing treatment options and legislation remaining a priority…the latter being a little less exciting.

I would love to say ‘I’m proud of my frown lines’ in the last photo, but that’s just not me. They had to go, and they did. Au revoir. Adios. Ciao.

Today, I am sharing something very exciting from my little corner of the internet. Yep, I am getting serious for a minute. I love learning and am a martyr to juggling too many things, but if I am not broadening my industry knowledge, then I get twitchy.

I am currently doing my MSc in aesthetic medicine. Hours of study. Hours of reading and learning. Hours of modules, tests and strong coffee! All while running my business and looking after my family! But is it paying off??

Of course it is. Last week I passed my written research paper with 100% distinction and scored 98% on my final exam for this module, with just one question wrong! I am a perfectionist, but with time, I can just about let that one go 🤭.

I am a nerd, but I genuinely love what I do and appreciate the support from my family, friends and loyal customers. Now, on to the next module…

Aesthetic treatments are popular for many reasons, and everyone has their own goals regarding what they want to achieve.

Lip filler, for example, isn’t just about making lips fuller (although that is a popular request); many clients come to me wanting a more even shape. Maybe they have always had lips that they didn’t love, or the shape has changed with age; there are many reasons.

This lovely lady felt her lips lacked definition and needed balancing due to lost volume. Problem solved, and her lips still look natural.

So many people have a favourite season, but I am here for them all.

Today marks the start of autumn, which means only one thing: pumpkin spiced lattes! Lies. I love them about as much as I love a matcha, which is very little.

Martin also thinks that autumn is my season; something about witches…I have no idea what he means, though.
