Natalie Jackson Advanced Skin Clinic

Monday took me to a beautiful village near Bournemouth, where I had the absolute pleasure of spending the day with Tania, a wonderful practitioner who was keen to build her knowledge, refine her techniques and gain even more confidence in advanced skin blemish removal.

We covered so much during our day together, and what I’m sharing here is really just a very small snippet of what we worked through!

Just to name a few…

We looked at dermoscopy and importantly, what we are actually looking for when we examine a lesion. We discussed symmetry, what normality can look like, the red flags we need to recognise and when something needs to be referred rather than treated.

We looked at how to differentiate between different types of lesions, particularly when they can present very similarly, such as distinguishing a mole from a skin tag when they appear alike, and recognising the difference between a solar lentigo and a freckle.

We then moved on to treatment techniques, including thread vein removal. We looked at probe selection, the angle of insertion, intensity, technique and aftercare, all with the aim of achieving an effective treatment while keeping the client’s comfort and healing at the forefront.

We also treated a complex lesion which was a collision of a seborrhoeic keratosis and a filiform lesion. This gave us the opportunity to explore why these lesions can behave so differently during treatment, including why filiform lesions can bleed whereas a seborrhoeic keratosis generally does not.

And this really is just a tiny glimpse of what we covered in one day!

Advanced skin blemish removal is incredibly involved. There is so much more to it than simply knowing how to use your epilator.

Your understanding of skin, lesions, dermoscopy, anatomy, treatment techniques, tissue response, healing and when not to treat all needs to come together.

Tania has such a lovely, gentle touch and I know her clients are in very safe, caring hands. It was a real privilege to meet some of her clients, work alongside her and help her develop her confidence and knowledge in this specialist area.

Thank you so much for having me, Tania! It was an absolute pleasure.

With entries for the Professional Beauty UK Awards 2027 closing next week, it got me thinking back to last year… ✨

I was delighted to be named Electrologist of the Year 2025 🏆 and this year, my lovely friend and fellow electrologist Debbie Wilkins took the title for 2026! 🥳

There are so many positives to putting yourself forward. Winning an award can raise your profile, build trust and credibility, help you stand out and create new opportunities and connections. Even the process of entering makes you take a really good look at your business and recognise what you’ve achieved.

So, if you’ve been thinking about entering but keep putting it off, you really have nothing to lose!

And now, in a real full-circle moment, I’m incredibly honoured to be returning as a judge for the Professional Beauty Awards 🥹✨

I can’t wait to see the incredible entries, the passion and dedication behind each one, and celebrate the amazing talent within our industry!

Thank you Professional Beauty UK & Gillian Elisabeth our sponsor for giving us this fantastic opportunity!
