How did you start working in aesthetics?

Paulina’s Aesthetics journey started in Poland when she won lip filler through a Facebook competition. After seeing the clinic, she quickly became inspired and did everything she could to find out how to become an Aesthetics Practitioner. Paulina delved straight into the world of Aesthetics through University courses and her passion quickly grew. Paulina’s love for adventure and her passion for the world of Aesthetics pushed her to move to the UK to continue developing her skills. After moving and working in many different clinics and academies, she landed in Altringham where she would begin building her own clinic.

How should clients pick a practitioner?

Paulina advises that clients pick their practitioner wisely. She suggests doing your own research first by booking a consultation. This should give your an opportunity to meet the practitioner, and have a feel whether they are the injector for you. Paulina suggests noting how they talk to you – are they willing to answer all the questions you have? Do they pay attention to your own wants and desires or are they upselling products to you?

Similarly, booking a consultation before having any treatment is an important step towards staying safe as it allows you to look at the clinic and the environment in which treatments are done. You should also enquire about the products that will be used, the safety and emergency measures they should have in place for any injectable treatments, and any clinical oversight they may have. Identifying clinical oversight is essential. For example, if the practitioner is a non-medic, they should have a medical practitioner available who could help with any prescriptions or complications, should they occur.

What aftercare do you provide?

Paulina previously provided her clients with decanted Arnica cream and lip-glosses as aftercare. However, she has since tried AfterMED Lips on clients and was very impressed. Paulina noted that that the areas which would usually be quite red and irritated post-lip filler, became visibly calmer and soothed once AfterMED Lips was applied. Her clients also described AfterMED as "a nice, cooling, and moisturising product".
