My at home facial routine is basic and based on evidence .

SPF during the day - Stops the collagen break down and improves the life of our existing collagen .
It is the only thing you can do after injectables and even after a face lift to improve the longevity of your surgery .

Tretinoin - Is a prescription topical vitamin A derivative . It binds with special receptors on your skin and causes the cells to grow and mature resulting in healthier skin and reduced wrinkles .

Keep it simple but be consistent 😊

Reduced hormone levels, especially oestrogen levels and androgen imbalance as a result , causes changes not only in the skin at a cellular level but also changes in the circulation of the skin.

Some very common concerns which I see as a GP are

1️⃣ Appearance of fine lines- sandpaper skin due to lack of collagen and elastin .

2️⃣ Rashes and allergies due to broken skin berrier and reduced circulation .

3️⃣ Roascea and Acne due to androgen imbalance causes increased oil and inflammation in the skin

4️⃣ Pigmentation due to reduced cell turn over , years of sun exposure and lack of collagen .

and more .

However the right skin care and life style approach can help significantly.

1️⃣ Daily use of SPF reduces the collagen break down and cellular damage .

2️⃣ Tretinoin - improves skin barrier and increases cell turn over along with collagen production .

3️⃣ Viramin C - protects from free radical damage and also acts as a sun barrier .

4️⃣ Collagen boosting - radio frequency, micro needling and bio stimulatory injections .

5️⃣ Improvement in diet to to include more vitamins and proteins required to produce collagen and repair the cells .

6️⃣ Improve sleep and manage stress - lack of sleep and stress releases stress hormones causing increased inflammation.

The goal? A natural look where friends say:
“You look really well!” — not “Have you had Botox?” 😉

📅 Treatment takes around 10–15 minutes
💉 Minimal downtime
✨ Results develop gradually over 1–2 weeks

Because confidence never goes out of style.

Consistency in self care is the key to longer lasting results whether it is anti aging or exercise and good diet .

We are not only working on our selves for today but also for our future self.
whatever you chose to have done , whatever your budget - be consistent with the treatments and do it more regularly.

I am a fan of dermal fillers .
Having done over 3000 injections over the years , and having tried all the high end brands ,I have seen it all .

It remains my most favourite treatment of all and with the right technique and right choice of product the results are highly satisfying 😊
