All Aesthetics by Megan

Yesterday I had the opportunity to spend the day doing some private advanced training with Dr Lucas de Siqueira | LDS Cosmetic Medicine, among side MELBOURNE COSMETIC & SKIN CLINIC.

When you work for yourself, it can be really easy to become comfortable doing things the way you know. You can see things from one perspective because that’s what you’ve learnt, what you’ve practised and what you’ve become confident in.

But there is always another way to look at something. Another approach. Another way of treating. Another little piece of knowledge that can change the way you see things.

Yesterday was such a good reminder of that for me.

I left feeling refreshed, but more importantly, I took home so much more knowledge than I had when I walked in.

I genuinely love that this industry is constantly evolving. There is always something new to learn, refine and improve on.

I never want to become complacent with my knowledge or think I know everything. I want to keep learning, keep questioning and keep upskilling so I can continue to give my patients the best care I can.

Very grateful for days like yesterday 🤍

September…. The month that flew by.

Crazy to think it’s over. It was jam packed with birthdays, a hens, booked weeks in the clinic and the studio, calisthenics, school holidays, small home improvements…. And I’m sure I’ve missed so much more.

Feels like everything has been a rush to the finishing line, but no finishing line? If that’s even a thing 😂

What’s happening in October?
• 1:1 training with a cosmetic doctor.
• Conference in Sydney
• Workshop in Sydney
• My first ever half marathon
• Calisthenics end of year concert
And I’m sure I’ll add to this list 🤪

I get asked how I have time to exercise, run a business, get 3 kids where they need to be and still have time for myself.

The honest answer is… I don’t magically have more time than anyone else.

I prioritise the things that are important to me.

If I want to exercise, I have to make it happen. If I want to get out the door on time, we need a bit of structure and routine. And if I can get something organised the night before, I do.

My kids know our routine. They know Mum has things she needs to do too. And I think that’s actually a really important thing for them to see.

It’s not perfect. Some mornings are absolute chaos 😂

But I’ve realised that waiting for life to slow down before I make time for myself just doesn’t work.

Sometimes you just have to make yourself part of the routine too 🙌

Bride-to-be glow up 👰

Just 1 teeth whitening treatment and look at that transformation.

For ultimate, long-lasting brightness, a second treatment is recommended, especially before a big event like a wedding.

But even after one… the difference speaks for itself.

If you’re getting married (or have a special event coming up), don’t forget to add teeth whitening to your to-do list 🙋‍♀️

I’m definitely not someone who has this whole “balance” thing figured out 😂

I have 3 kids, a business, a million things going on and most days there is always something that needs doing.

But I’ve realised that if I keep waiting for the perfect time to look after myself, make time for myself or do the things that make me feel good… it just won’t happen.

So I’m trying to prioritise myself too.

Not instead of my kids. Not instead of my business. But alongside them.

Sometimes that looks like getting up early to exercise. Sometimes it’s booking the appointment I’ve been putting off. Sometimes it’s simply taking an hour for myself without feeling guilty about it.

Because I want my kids to see me working hard and chasing my dreams, but I also want them to see that looking after yourself matters too.

And honestly… I’m still a work in progress 😂

This is something I find incredibly important to explain during a consultation.

Coming in for one treatment doesn’t mean you can neglect the other layers of the skin.

As we age, changes happen across different layers- the skin, fat, muscle and underlying structure….and each plays a role in how our face looks and feels.

When I’m planning treatments, I’m always looking at the bigger picture and considering what has changed, what your goals are and what may need support.

Because each layer plays a vital role, and they all work together to create a youthful, refreshed and balanced appearance.

It’s not about treating everything. It’s about understanding what you need and why.
