Since incorporating vitamin C into my skin care ro

Since incorporating vitamin C into my skin care routine I’ve not looked back! This simple addition put my skin to the next level so much so I have to tell you all about it!!

I now recommend it to everybody particularly to those patients who exercise outside and especially if they live in an area where pollution compounds the oxidative stress on our skin.

So why do I love it so much ...😍😍 well...

⭐️it’s a powerful antioxidant for ageing prevention

⭐️it’s protective against sunburn

⭐️it stimulates collagen production

⭐️ it reduces pigmentation

⭐️it’s anti inflammatory

And ...

⭐️ It’s easy to use. It rarely causes issues with layering as most vitamin C products come in a lightweight serum format, so they take seconds to absorb. A definite tick on the efficiency versus efficacy front.

My favourite two vit c products are @alumiermduk Everactive c & e and @alumiermduk vitamin rich smoother. For a free skin assessment come and see me and I will recommend your perfect home and In clinic skin products to get your skin glowing ✨💫

So this happened today - a positive aspiration. 💉

This happened 3 seconds into aspirating as I was deep onto the periosteum injecting a beautiful patient’s cheek.

So this is exactly why I do aspirate - and I aspirate for a full 12 seconds - a habit that was instilled into me by some amazing mentor injectors. In doing so I know I’m injecting safely.

I know there are a lot of opinions on aspirating but as an aesthetic practitioner my patient’s safety always comes first - it’s imperative I take my time, I take extra care and precaution and do my job safely. Hence I aspirate:

⚠️ with every patient
⚠️ with every injection
⚠️every single time!

And here’s the proof to show it is well worth the extra time it takes to pull back on your plunger. I can sleep soundly tonight.

If your face looks like you're blushing and you ge

I can’t believe we’ve been back to work for 2

I can’t believe we’ve been back to work for 2 whole weeks - it’s absolutely flown by! ✈️And boy have I missed it! ❤️🥰

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t thank God for gifting me with a job that I love so very much🙏🏻😇

I am so privileged that I get to meet so many amazing, friendly, inspirational clients every day - who not only trust me with their beautiful faces - but who trust me with their stories - who open up and share with me their successes - their storms - their trials and their breakthroughs!

It was only 7 years ago when I found myself as a single mum of two small children - I was massively in debt, I was struggling to make ends meet, I had final demand letters sent to my address weekly, my family lived far away, I was going through a nasty divorce and my best friend was extremely poorly.

I was so embarrassed of my money situation that I would make excuses to meet up with friends - I’d cancel my direct debits knowing I had no money in my account to pay for them and took to selling clothes on eBay to just try and get some extra cash.

But without those tough times there’s no way I’d have ever been able to have reached this point I’m at now - to not only have my own clinic - but a fully booked one 💉- against all the odds!!! 👊🏻💪🏼

Those difficult times gave me the strength and resilience to keep going despite what was thrown at me. Out of those ashes did come beauty! And I can’t thank my clients enough for sticking by me - for their love and loyalty ❤️🥰

I remember praying for the days I have now. I remember how excited I was at getting a booking. I remember how I’d get a call at 5pm asking for me to see a client at 6pm and I’d have to put the kids in their car seats, with the beauty couch in the boot of my corsa 🚗 my bag of equipment in the passenger seat beside me driving 20 miles just to do a free consultation.

Dont get me wrong I am still far from where I want to be .. and I know I have a lot of hard work in front of me ... and I know there will be more trials ahead ... but equally I know I survived the storm, the hurricane - the tsunami - so a little bit of rain isn’t going to kill me☔️🌧🌈

Sadly with any injection there’s always a risk of swelling due to the body’s own inflammatory response.

But fear not - here are a few hacks I’ve put together to help reduce the risk of swelling following your non surgical cosmetic treatment.

Let me know if you’ve tried them ❤️💉

Anyone else put a few lockdown pounds on ? 🤦🏻‍♀️😳

If you’re wanting to shed some lockdown weight then why not get a kick start and let us help you 👊🏻💪🏼

We’re offering some fabulous discounts on our body contouring treatments to get your body summer ready for when (please God 🙏🏻) we can at last go on that long awaited holiday 🏝🍹☀️

Our Cryolipolysis machine is a form of non-surgical localised liposuction treatment that is applied to remove excess body fat from select body areas like inner thighs, hips, buttocks, tummy, arms and chin without incisions or injections.

The treatment involves the localised application of a low temperature device to break down and destroy stubborn fat cells. These dead cells are then transported by the lymphatic system, processed and eliminated by the body 👏🏻🙌🏼

And the best bit ... it has been shown that cryolipolysis can reduce subcutaneous fat at the treatment site by up to 25% after just one treatment 🤩

For more info on all our body contouring treatments why not check out our highlights and website page 👍🏼 or book in for a FREE consultation with our aesthetic therapist Sharon who will be happy to discuss the treatment process and answer any queries you may have 🥰

Well we made it ❤️ Tomorrow hopefully marks

Well we made it ❤️

Tomorrow hopefully marks the third and final time we have to reopen our doors. It’s been a tough journey but with the love, loyalty and support of all our lovely clients we got there in the end 🥰

Wishing all our fellow Aesthetic Practitioners, our Beauty Therapist and Hairdressing friends the very best of luck for your first day of reopening tomorrow ❤️🥰

Good injection technique matters 💉💪🏼

The key to a good injection technique is knowing the purpose of your injection - what aesthetic result is it that you want it to achieve? Is it to add definition? contour? to support? to lift? To add volume?

Once you know that then you determine what injection pattern you’d implement to achieve those aesthetic goals whilst also considering injection depth, angle and of course reducing complication risk.

This video I (with the help of my social media guru that is my 10 year old daughter @auriananaraghi ) created shows the popular injection patterns I use when injecting Dermal Filler💉

Oooh get me back to what I love doing the most ❤️🥰 20 hours and counting ⏰❤️🥰

Busy day at the clinic this afternoon getting ever

Busy day at the clinic this afternoon getting everything ready to welcome back all our gorgeous clients 🥰

Just to advise you on some guidance regarding Covid-19 vaccinations 💉

Like with any vaccine they trigger your immune response and as a result this could potentially cause fillers to swell. Whilst this is rare we are advising that no dermal filler treatment be carried out 3 weeks before or 3 weeks after receiving the Covid-19.

If you have received your invitation for your Covid-19 vaccine and you have already booked your appointment then please let us know we can re-arrange your appointment for you no problem.

Can’t wait to see you soon 🥰❤️

It’s the body’s largest organ and our first li

It’s the body’s largest organ and our first line of defense against the outside world so respecting this important organ with smart skincare habits is imperative if you want to keep your skin healthy and young looking.
⠀
Here’s my top 3 tips to adopt at home to care for your skin as best you can and decrease your skin years ... ⠀
⠀
1. Use a Retinoid ⠀
⠀
Hopefully, you’re diligent about applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily but there may have been a time in your past when you were not so careful — and those habits may catch up to you. While you may not be able to see it in the mirror, UV photos can reveal the sun damage simmering beneath your skin which will show up more with time. In addition to using products with SPF daily, to slow and reverse these effects I recommend using a retinol at night such as Alumier’s retinol resurfacing serum. Retinoids are skin-care products that can help treat acne, combat early signs of aging, and help heal sun-damaged skin. ⠀
⠀
2. Exfoliate⠀
⠀
The epidermis is the thin outer layer of your skin, which contains dead skin cells. It’s this epidermis that turns over every 28 days.⠀
You can also help clear these dead cells away and keep your skin looking bright by exfoliating your skin regularly. Opt for either a physical exfoliator, like Alumier lotus scrub which physically clears dead skin cells and other impurities from your skin, or a chemical exfoliator, which uses a mild acid to dissolve these dead cells such as Alumier’s Bright and Clear Solution or AHA Renewal Serum. ⠀
⠀
3. Moisturise⠀
⠀
Having a lizardlike texture to your skin is one thing, but the issue doesn’t end there. The skin needs to be a healthier barrier to prevent infections. Dry skin is basically a cracked, broken barrier. ⠀
⠀
Keep skin moisturised with products that contain hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or ceramides such as Alumier’s Hydradew moisturiser . Also try to cap showers to five minutes if you have sensitive skin and bathing with lukewarm water because long, hot dips can exacerbate dryness.⠀

For more advise on your skin health book a free consultation where we will be happy to tailor a complete skin program to suit your skin needs.

Ive had patients worry about how much filler is ne

Ive had patients worry about how much filler is needed for their treatments - many worrying that 1ml might be too much for them and that it may not look natural.

Sadly 0.5ml is not enough to treat your cheeks, jaw, lips and temples ! It really is a tiny amount. It may look a lot in the syringe but when squeezed out it really isn’t a lot 💉

I did this video earlier to show you just how small a amount 0.5ml actually is - smaller than a 20p and 1p piece!! 🪙

So how much filler do you need?

Well that depends upon the area being treated, the facial assessment and the desired outcome - each patient I treat is unique and anatomically different so where 1ml might be suitable for one patient it won’t be suitable for another. My treatments are bespoke and tailored to you the individual .. as the saying goes one size doesn’t fit all ❤️💉

There was a time in my life when I was so afraid a

There was a time in my life when I was so afraid about failing that I chose not to try. I was that child who would sit at the back too scared to put my hand up and answer a teacher’s question in case I got it wrong. I preferred to stay in the safe zone and avoid burning up with shame and ‘making a fool of myself’ in case I failed.

Years later I realised that this insecure mindset of mine was the exact reason that my dreams were not coming to fruition. It wasn’t helped by the fact that there were several people in my life at the time telling me I couldn’t achieve my hearts desires because I was too shy, too soft or that I just didn’t have the ability! They were just fuelling my insecure beliefs.

The truth is, most people are making choices based on avoiding what they fear rather than striving toward their goals. Like me as a child people spend the lion’s share of their energy focusing on problems, risks, and worst-case scenarios rather than how to win.

The fact is though if you can fail at something for long enough — and learn from your failures — you’ll eventually achieve true, lasting success on a large scale. A lot of people mistakenly think the world’s most successful people are the ones that have failed the least. The opposite is actually true — the experts have made more mistakes than anyone!

So next time you think you have ‘failed’ at something promise me you won’t become discouraged and allow it to upset you - instead let it inspire you and give you more drive and determination to succeed and live your dreams!💫👊🏻💪🏼

Injecting our beautiful patients isn’t as easy as some may think 💉

An in-depth knowledge of the facial anatomy is imperative for reducing the risk of complications and maximising results 👊🏻

Injecting the face is both an art and knowledge so choose your instructor wisely👍🏼❤️

Thread veins are often considered to be cosmetical

Thread veins are often considered to be cosmetically unsightly, depending on their location, and many people seek to have them removed. As these veins are too fine they can not be treated in the same way as larger veins.

At Adonia we use ThermaVein® which offers a clinically proven, instant, safe and effective treatment of spider or thread veins as well as other vascular blemishes, using a process of thermo-coagulation which seals the vein walls, causing them to instantly and permanently disappear 🤩

ThermaVein® also compliments the treatment of rosacea by treating the thread veins associated with this condition, and is best combined with micro-scelerotherapy for treating legs 💉

Equipped with a polarisation light system we introduce a fine needle over the vein and in most cases the vein disappears instantaneously.

Furthermore unlike IPL and Lasers, ThermaVein® cannot cause loss of pigmentation, is suitable for all skin types, and can be used on men and women. Prices start at just £50 🙌🏼

This lovely lady wanted to feel fresher and bright

This lovely lady wanted to feel fresher and brighter - using just one tiny teaspoon of HA Dermal Filler I was able to soften the nasolabial lines by adding volume to her mid face using a cannula technique and address the Peri-oral lines or smoker’s lines by using a flat blanching technique and creating a little natural volume and definition to both upper and lower lips.

In addition I also treated the marionette lines by adding product to the corners of the mouth which adds volume and helps to move the mouth corners forward so the lower lip is supported, creating a more upwards turned mouth corner.

Finally I added small amounts of Toxin to the Depressor Anguli Oris (A muscle which acts to depress the lateral corners of the mouth ) which in turn re-positions the corners of the mouth in a more cephalad position.

Don’t you just love a good before and after to end the working week on 🙌🏼 💉Have a fabulous weekend everyone 🥰

Throwback to this fabulous result that was achieve

Throwback to this fabulous result that was achieved with 4ml Ellansé®. The second picture was taken 12 weeks after the first.

Ellansé® is the first of a new class of fillers. Thanks to its unique properites, it not only corrects wrinkles and folds but also stimulates your own collagen production to restore volume loss and shape therefore really treating the underlying causes of facial ageing 👊🏻💪🏼💉

The effects are gradual and much longer-lasting producing a natural more youthful appearance.

Think this has to be up there with one of my favourite treatments 💫 - this patient was delighted with her results - What do you think ? 🤔❤️
