THE KEY TO A POSITIVE OUTCOME FOR CLIENTS IS A GOOD<br />
CONSULTATION AS THEY DON’T HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE TO<br />
KNOW WHAT TREATMENTS WILL OR WON’T WORK FOR THEM.<br />
SKIN<br />
WHAT DO YOU THINK<br />
ARE THE BIGGEST<br />
CHALLENGES<br />
FACING AESTHETIC<br />
PRACTITIONERS TODAY?<br />
A lot of people in the aesthetic<br />
industry seem to be concerned<br />
about meeting ‘unrealistic’ patient<br />
expectations. I felt this pressure<br />
in the past, but have worked on<br />
my consulting skills to minimise<br />
this pressure.<br />
The key to a positive outcome for<br />
clients is a good consultation as they<br />
don’t have the knowledge to know<br />
what treatments will or won’t work<br />
for them. It is up to us, the cosmetic<br />
practitioners, to be 100 percent<br />
honest with them when we explain<br />
their treatment options so that their<br />
expectations about the results (and<br />
pain and recovery time) are realistic<br />
before we start treating them.<br />
WHAT DO YOU THINK<br />
ARE THE BIGGEST<br />
AESTHETIC TRENDS?<br />
Trends come and go in this industry<br />
and a lot of the time the treatments<br />
don’t do what’s expected.<br />
The trend that’s apparent to me is<br />
that clients are now very happy to have<br />
regular maintenance treatments that<br />
are subtle but significant and don’t<br />
leave them looking frozen. They are<br />
happy to have some facial movement<br />
and aren’t demanding complete<br />
wrinkle erasing.<br />
There’s also much more investment<br />
in skin treatments with energy-based<br />
devices (lasers, radiofrequency, etc),<br />
which is great. We have always told<br />
clients that it looks incongruous to<br />
have a smooth wrinkle-free face with<br />
skin that looks unhealthy.<br />
WHAT’S THE LATEST<br />
TREATMENT/SERVICE ON<br />
OFFER AT NORTHERN<br />
SKIN STUDIO?<br />
We are very excited to be the first<br />
clinic in North Queensland offering<br />
NeoGraft hair restoration treatments.<br />
For a long time, we have known that<br />
hair loss is damaging to the confidence<br />
and self-esteem of so many of our<br />
patients, men and women, but until<br />
now we haven’t been able to offer<br />
them an effective solution.<br />
I am really happy that we can<br />
now offer such a minimally invasive<br />
procedure (no incisions or visible<br />
scarring) to help people get their<br />
natural hairlines – and their<br />
confidence – back.<br />
During the treatment, we use the<br />
NeoGraft device [which only arrived<br />
in Australia 18 months ago] to gently<br />
extract individual hair follicles from<br />
the patient’s donor site, usually the<br />
back of their head, and then implant<br />
them in balding areas.<br />
The patient is comfortable<br />
throughout the procedure as they<br />
are lightly sedated and can go home<br />
immediately afterwards.<br />
We all really look forward to not<br />
only performing the procedure on so<br />
many of our patients but also watching<br />
their physical and psychological<br />
transformation as their hair gradually<br />
grows back.<br />
WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS<br />
FOR NORTHERN SKIN<br />
STUDIOS IN THE NEXT 18<br />
MONTHS?<br />
I am going to continue doing what<br />
I have done since I first opened our<br />
doors – offer only the best, most<br />
up-to-date treatment options to our<br />
patients. I really think this is the key<br />
to the clinic’s success. I try not to get<br />
distracted by trends and just focus on<br />
providing treatments and services that<br />
I know are effective and only employ<br />
staff that have the skills and experience<br />
to do their jobs properly.<br />
It is very important that patients<br />
trust all of us, regardless of which<br />
treatments we are performing. And the<br />
only way we can have their trust is if<br />
we are 100 percent honest with them<br />
about the treatments every step of the<br />
way. CBM<br />
