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 />
