Can you tell us a little about yourself and how you got into the aesthetics industry?

"Hi, my name is Milly, and I’m a mental health nurse. I’ve been working in mental health since 2017. Last year, I pursued my prescribing qualification because I wanted to venture into aesthetics. Interestingly, I found a job that offered to cover the costs of my prescribing training, which was a great opportunity. Balancing this with my responsibilities as a new mum—my son was just two months old at the time—was challenging, but I managed to get it done."

What inspired your transition into aesthetics?

"My motivation to enter the aesthetics field is somewhat personal. I’ve suffered from severe migraines and have received Botox treatments for them, which have really helped me. Additionally, I've faced challenges with my self-esteem, and experiencing the positive effects of aesthetics treatments firsthand made me realise how transformative they can be. I want to help others find that same confidence boost."

What do you enjoy most about working in aesthetics?

"I love being able to help people feel more confident in themselves. In my line of work, I often see how a person's self-esteem is tied to their appearance, especially when they’re feeling down. Being able to assist clients in regaining that confidence is incredibly rewarding. It’s a unique intersection of my mental health background and aesthetic practice, where I can support clients in both their physical and emotional well-being."

What’s your favourite treatment to perform, and why?

"My favourite treatment is dermal filler. It can dramatically enhance a person’s facial shape, which I’ve noticed personally during my weight loss journey. I've also seen great results with anti-wrinkle treatments, which I’ve been using for my migraines at a headache clinic for about seven years. Another favourite is polynucleotides because they produce fantastic regenerative results."

Can you share your thoughts on aftercare and why you chose AfterMED Lips?

"Previously, I would recommend basic options like Arnica oil for aftercare. However, I discovered AfterMED Lips during a training session at Fox Pharma, and I was intrigued. After trying it for my own lip treatment, I noticed significant improvement in swelling and bruising, which is particularly important for me as a diabetic who bruises easily. The results were impressive, and it made me confident in offering it to my clients."

What feedback have you received from your clients about AfterMED Lips?

"The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Most clients who receive lip treatments choose to use AfterMED Lips, and many have expressed satisfaction with how hydrating it is. They’ve reported less swelling and bruising, which is fantastic for both them and me as the injector. Clients appreciate that they don’t need to reach for lip gloss afterward since the product offers that shine."

What are the key benefits of using AfterMED Lips for your practice?

"One of the biggest advantages of AfterMED Lips is that it reduces client anxiety. I rarely get messages asking if a bruise is normal anymore, as clients see improvements quickly. The product is cooling and hydrating, which enhances their comfort post-treatment. The reassurance it provides is invaluable, and it clearly demonstrates that I take aftercare and my clients’ safety seriously."

How does AfterMED Lips differentiate your clinic from others?

"In a market flooded with clinics offering similar services, AfterMED Lips helps me stand out. I emphasise comprehensive aftercare, which goes beyond basic recommendations. While some clinics might offer generic products, I provide a tailored, effective aftercare solution that has proven results. This attention to detail reassures clients that their safety and satisfaction are my top priorities."

What unique features of AfterMED Lips Lips do you particularly appreciate?

"I love that AfterMED Lips comes in an airless pump, which prevents any bacteria from contaminating the product. Additionally, it has a gorgeous shine, allowing clients to leave the clinic looking polished without needing additional lip gloss. This encourages them to keep using the product rather than reverting to potentially less safe options."

In closing, what message would you like to share with those considering aesthetic treatments?

"Aesthetics treatments can be life-changing, not just physically but also emotionally. As a practitioner with a mental health background, I understand the deep connection between how we feel and how we look. My goal is to help each client feel their best, both inside and out. If you're considering treatment, know that the right approach and aftercare can make all the difference in your journey to confidence."
