• Dragged along to London fashion week again, thanks @buzz_talent for having us. I also need to address Caroline Flack here. I’m angry. I’m angry that all her ‘celeb mates’ are only coming out now to talk about what a wonderful human she was and how unfairly she was treated. Where was their support when she was being vilified by the press? For months. I’m sorry, were you too scared to speak up in case you were ostracised yourself? I / HLA are all about authenticity. If someone is your mate, protect and defend them. If you see wrong, add your voice to make it right. Caroline’s choice is no ones fault, but let’s all be better people. Anyone who faults you for your vocal love and support of a friend is not worth having in your life. #love #support #bereal #dontletpeopletalkshitaboutyourmates #peace

  • So, these are my cheeks. I ran out of my Hydracalm (moisturiser) and only had enough for the right cheek, so thought I’d use the opportunity to demonstrate what dehydrated skin looks like - see the lovely pic on the left. If you use your finger to push your skin upwards, as you can see I have, and then you get the little lines that you can see on the left pic, your skin is dehydrated. This is also a good example of how skin changes in different environmental conditions. I don’t always use moisturiser, but at this time of year, when it’s so bitterly cold, my skin definitely needs the extra nourishment and I see this on most of my clients also. Nourish, nourish, nourish and also don’t be afraid to tweak your routine in the short term if the weather is making it more sensitive. I sometimes drop the bright and clear for a few days, occasionally the retinol, and then add them back in as I can. Always feel free to message me if you are unsure! #dehydratedskin #microneedling #chemicalpeel #alumiermd #skin #moisturise

  • New year, new face! Well, not a new face per se but gotta keep up with the collagen production, I’m not getting any younger 🥴 Today I’ve micro-needled myselfwith SkinPen and in a month or so it’s time for a Glow Peel. Meanwhile at home it’s retinol, vit c and a physical sunscreen. Honestly I don’t regret a single second or dime that I have invested into my skin and neither will you 💋 #skinpen #microneedling #dermapen #retinol #skincare #skinhydration #alumiermd #chemicalpeel

  • HLA psa - please lets all remember this, it’s prime time for holiday weight gain which often means self hatred and negative talk. Enough. You are perfect as you are. Photo credit to @ferncooke and inspired by IWeighCommunity. #stopthefattalk #youareenough #authenticity #equality #iweigh

  • Absolute gold star for this client 🌟 I believe she’s taped this inside her bathroom cupboard for quick and easy reference. As she builds up her tolerance to retinol, the ticks for which day to use it will increase...progressive, not aggressive! #goldstar #retinol #progressive #skinexpert #hertfordshire #alumiermd

  • Find an aesthetic practitioner who makes you as happy as this hotdog from The German Gymnasium makes me 😂 For those of you that live or work (or visit to ingest hotdogs) in polluted areas, such as any city, Alumier’s AGE is a must. When fossil fuels are burned they produce tiny particles called particulate matter. These teeny tiny particles measure 2.5 millionths of a meter in diameter. To put that in perspective the human hair measures 70. These particles can therefore enter the skin via your hair follicles and pores, and start attacking and degrading your collagen. The AGE acts as a bio-mimetic shield, blocking around 90% of these particles from entering your skin and thereby protecting your precious collagen. I actually wear it every day even though I live and work in Hertfordshire, there’s still pollution so why take the risk 💁🏼‍♀️ The next 2 clients who purchase a course of 5 peels, will receive one of these as an added extra. AGE is Alumier’s most expensive product at £95 so it’s an offer not to be missed! Please contact me to purchase. #thegermangymnasium #pollution #collagen #skin #climatechange #london #radlett #stalbans #watford

  • If you have Botox, then is it worth having microneedling? YES. Why? Botox paralyses the muscles, and is brilliant at what it does, but what it doesn’t do is force your body to produce collagen. Remember we stop producing this in our early 30’s and what you do have continues to degrade. Microneedling is the gold standard collagen induction therapy, it forces your body into producing collagen naturally, thereby giving the skin a young and plump appearance...so actually they work really well together. Botox for the outside and microneedling for the inside. Plus microneedling plumps the whole face as well as working on scarring or pigmentation. If one only had Botox, then the Botox treated area would be lovely and unlined, but what about the rest of the face or neck? No one wants to be 20 on the forehead but 40/50/60 on the rest of the face 😉 We use Skinpen which is the only FDA approved microneedling device available; don’t forget dermapen treatments have been banned in the UK. #skinpen #dermapen #microneedling #antiaging #scarring #pigmentation #aesthetics #radlett #hertfordshire #fda
