Meet Abbie: Owner of Halo Aesthetics & Co
Abbie is the proud owner of Halo Aesthetics & Co, a newly opened clinic in Codnor. With an NHS background since 2010, mainly within the Accident and Emergency department, Abbie then pursed a paramedic science pathway. Abbie has since transitioned her passion for helping people into the world of aesthetics.
What Inspired You to Transition into Aesthetics?
Abbie’s journey into aesthetics was sparked by her own experience with cosmetic treatments. After being disappointed by a previous lip filler treatment, she decided to delve into the field herself. “I’m a bit of a perfectionist,” she admits. “I wanted to help people feel good about themselves, just like I wished I could have felt.” This desire to enhance confidence in others fuels her work.
What Kind of Training Have You Undertaken?
Abbie’s training in aesthetics included a in-depth training course after completing extensive qualifications in anatomy and physiology. These prior qualifications took two years to obtain, laying a solid foundation for her new career path.
What Are Your Favourite Treatments to Perform?
When it comes to her favourite treatments, Abbie’s top pick is lip fillers. She enjoys the immediate transformation clients experience, often seeing their excitement and joy reflected in the mirror right after the procedure. “Clients always leave with a big smile,” she says, which is incredibly rewarding for her.
Are There Any Treatments You’re Interested in Exploring?
Abbie is keen to expand her skills further, particularly in Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments, especially for hair restoration. She notes, “PRP is becoming increasingly popular as part of hair transplant protocols, and I want to offer clients pre- and post-treatment support.”
What Treatments Will You Avoid?
While Abbie is open to many aspects of aesthetics, she firmly avoids Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs), believing they pose too many risks. Her focus remains on providing safe, effective treatments that enhance her clients' natural beauty.
Can You Share a Memorable Client Experience?
One particularly touching experience stands out for Abbie: a client who had always been self-conscious about her thin upper lip. After Abbie’s treatment, the transformation not only enhanced her appearance but also her confidence. “She sends me pictures every few days, showing how happy she is,” Abbie shares. “It’s heartwarming to know I played a role in boosting her self-esteem.”
What Aftercare Do You Recommend?
Abbie emphasises the importance of proper aftercare following treatments. She has adopted AfterMED Lips, a product that not only provides aesthetic appeal but also contains beneficial ingredients like Arnica oil, which can aid in reducing swelling and bruising. Clients have reported significant relief and satisfaction with the product, praising its pleasant texture and effectiveness.
Why Is Infection Control Important in Aftercare?
In her practice, Abbie is highly aware of hygiene and infection control, particularly regarding aftercare products. She emphasises that using airless pumps like AfterMED Lips minimises contamination risks, making it a safer choice for her clients compared to traditional open jars or tubes.
Final Thoughts
Abbie is passionate about helping her clients feel their best and is dedicated to continuous learning in the aesthetics field. Her commitment to safe practices, effective treatments, and client happiness sets her apart in the industry. As she continues to grow Halo Aesthetics, Abbie looks forward to making a positive impact on her clients' lives, one smile at a time.
