There is something about healthy-looking skin that instantly makes us feel better. Skin that looks smoother, brighter, more hydrated and gently plumped tends to make us look fresher and more rested — without necessarily looking as though we have had anything done at all. Not a different face. Not dramatically bigger cheeks or lips. Not skin that looks unnaturally tight or frozen. Simply lookinbg well, rested and refreshed — and still completely like yourself. For me, this is

It is probably one of the biggest fears I hear in clinic: “I don’t want to look….[uses hands to indicate chipmunk cheeks, a witchy chin and pouts to show duck lips!]” And believe me, I would never want to make you look like that either! Yes, you may want to look fresher. Less tired. A little more lifted. Perhaps you want to soften something that has been bothering you for years. But you still want to look like you. And yet we have all seen aesthetic treatments that somehow ma

One of the most common things I hear in clinic is: “I don’t necessarily want to look younger…” “I just don’t want to look so tired.” “ I want to look brighter” “ I don’t want things to be so saggy.” …”and I don’t want to look ‘odd’! “ Whether you can identify what has changed; you and have suddenly noticed your face feels heavier or less defined or duller, or you cannot pinpoint it, you just know something is different - for all of us, it actually rarely comes down to one rea

Polynucleotides have become one of the most talked-about injectable skin treatments over the last few years. Often described as a regenerative treatment, they are promoted for everything from dark circles and fine lines to rosacea, acne, hydration and general skin rejuvenation. And I do really like polynucleotides. But I don't think everybody needs them. In fact, one of the most common things I hear from patients who have previously had polynucleotides elsewhere is: “I’m not

Why regular medical facials can support healthier skin, prepare your skin for regenerative treatments and help you get more from your results Facials have traditionally been thought of as a treat. Something relaxing before a holiday, wedding or special occasion. And they absolutely can be that. But I also think we underestimate the role a really good facial can play in long-term skin health. Here, our approach has always been skin first. Whether you eventually choose regener

If your face is starting to look a little more tired, hollow or less defined, it can be tempting to assume that dermal filler is the answer. Whilst, filler is indeed the only option to replace significant structure or volume loss it is not the only option to firm, tighten and provide a more lifted and contoured effect to the face. This is because jowls, dark hollows, nose to mouth lines and facial sagging aren’t always caused by a simple loss of volume. Ageing happens at mult

A year has passed since your filler and, like clockwork you book in for a top up…! One of the most common misconceptions in aesthetics is that if you've had filler before, you simply need more filler to refresh your results. In reality, this is often the opposite of what creates a youthful, natural-looking face. Often I see patients who have had filler years ago, that has gradually been built up and built up then migrated, or sadly was miss placed or the wrong product used in

Looking fresher isn't about treating lines or filling in folds—it's about restoring facial balance in a way that is sympathetic to your features and age One of the biggest misconceptions in aesthetic medicine is that individual wrinkles or folds should be treated in isolation. It's understandable—as like many who are bothered by your tear troughs and under eye shadows, or find themselves pulling skin back to soften nasolabial folds or marionette lines, it's natural to assume

With so many ‘skin rejuvenation treatments’ out there, how do you choose? At the moment the big names are Sunekos, Profhilo, Polynucleotides and Redensity 1 (Teosyal Baby Glow), so what is the difference? Many patients ask me which one is "the best skin booster." The truth is, there isn't a one blanket answer. It is about choosing the right one for your skin needs. As much like skin care actives, injectable regenerative treatments vary in terms of how they improve the skin. A

‘Sunekos treatments’ are quickly becoming one of the most talked-about injectable skin treatments available. In particular there are a few key areas that I really blue Sunekos for. These are Sunekos as treatment for under eyes Sunekos as treatment for neck lines Sunekos for general skin laxity and colagen banking So, what makes Sunekos different? Unlike many injectable treatments that focus primarily on replacing lost volume or simply hydrating the skin, Sunekos works with yo

Pregnancy, Hormones and Skin: What Every Mum Should Know Firstly, congratulations. Pregnancy and new motherhood are exciting, life-changing experiences, but they can also feel overwhelming. Between morning sickness, a changing body, sleepless nights and caring for a tiny human, finding time for yourself can feel impossible. Many women expect their skin to simply glow throughout pregnancy. While some do experience the famous "pregnancy glow", the reality is often more complica

We are living in an age of optimisation. We can track our sleep, monitor our health markers, analyse our nutrition, personalise our skincare, and access more health information than ever before. Much of this is positive. A preventative approach to health and ageing is undoubtedly one of the most powerful investments we can make in our future selves. But there is a conversation that is often missing from the wellness and aesthetics space: Can the pursuit of optimisation someti

Rapid or dramatic weight loss can be life-changing in many positive ways — but for many people, the changes seen in the face can come as an unexpected shock and can be particularly disheartening if you have worked to loose weight but feel your face does not reflect this. Whilst for some, weight loss can be intentional after opting for treatment with GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic or Mounjaro, for others weight loss can be secondary to other underlying changes. Be this post

Finally ‘natural results’ and ‘preventative treatments’ are trending rather than ‘cut jaw’ or ‘a maxed look’. At the centre of this shift is something I’ve long advocated: a skin-first approach to aesthetics—combined with a deeper understanding that aging happens at every level of the face and body. So you’ve been searching for preventative aesthetic treatments, preventative skin treatments, or wondering how to achieve natural aesthetic results without looking overdone, you’r

Why a Skin-First Approach Has Always Been My Foundation For years, I’ve championed a skin-first approach to aesthetic medicine—long before it became a wider conversation in the industry. Because if we’re honest about how we age, it doesn’t happen in just one layer. Ageing shows up across: Skin (texture, hydration, laxity) Movement (muscle activity and expression) Shadows (volume loss and hollowing) Structure (bone and fat pad changes) To achieve truly holistic, natural result

They offer deep hydration, smoother skin, and natural rejuvenation without changing your facial features. At Dr Anatalia Aesthetics, we specialise in advanced skin boos

What is PDRN in skincare? PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a DNA-derived ingredient typically sourced from salmon. In skincare and aesthetic medicine, it’s used for its regenerative properties—helping to repair damaged skin, improve elasticity, and promote healing at a cellular level. Originally used in medical settings for wound healing, PDRN has now become a sought-after ingredient in both professional treatments and topical skincare products. What does PDRN do for your sk
