2018 LONDON INJECTABLES MASTERCLASS
I was thrilled and honoured to be invited to a 2-day Masterclass in London in early March, hosted by Allergan, the manufacturers of Botox® and Juvederm® dermal fillers. I was especially lucky to be able to get there in the snow – 100 delegates (out of the 250 invited in the UK) had been unable […]
IS YOUR SKIN OFTEN RED?
Rosacea can affect both the skin’s appearance and texture. It is easily recognisable if the skin is visibly pink or red in colour, however sometimes it can present as transient redness, such as flushing with spicy food or alcohol. Quite often with rosacea, there is also an increased number of visible telangiectasias – these usually […]

TEETH CLENCHING/ GRINDING AND JAW SLIMMING
Bruxism (grinding of the teeth/ jaw clenching) is the 3rd most common sleep disorder (after insomnia & snoring). It is often associated with a widened/ square-shaped lower face due to hypertrophy (enlargement) of the masseter (jaw) muscle. Treatment of this condition using a muscle relaxant (Botox) can be really helpful, providing relief from tense muscles […]
