What do you think people with unlimited bank

accounts should be doing? Should they be going straight to the

surgeon to get the latest in surgery? What would you do if

money was not an issue for you? We need to give your skin time

for the skin cells to take on the effect of the treatment. How

I consult with my clients is to set an expectation for treatment

and what they need to understand when treating their skin.

Welcome to the holistic skin guru, where what's on the

surface is just as important as what's underneath. I'm your

host, Amina. Let's dive deep into the world of holistic

skincare. In today's episode, I'm going to give you my exact

recommendations on what you need to do if you are in your 40s and

have done little to no treatments in your life, and

you're having a little panic attack as you see the changes

happening in your skin, and don't know where to begin. Have

you seen Madonna lately, or Rachel from friends? I mean,

Jennifer Aniston will never look like she did on friends, but she

sure has matured in her features and would have been able to keep

her youthful appearance by simply avoiding fillers and

going the PRF route. Check out my video on PRP and PRF

treatments. PRF will give you the same results as filler

without the threat of migration of the filler. It uses your own

DNA to rejuvenate the skin, and the results are stunning.

Madonna, on the other hand, has had an overzealous doctor who

clearly has not advised their patient. Well, she could have

had some Botox, but why fill as much as they did to give her

that awful pillow face appearance? And before you come

at me and say, I'm bullying, please understand that I'm using

people in the public eye as points of reference to make a

point of what you should or should not be doing to your

skin. What do you think people with unlimited bank accounts

should be doing? Should they be going straight to the surgeon to

get the latest in surgery? What would you do if money was not an

issue for you? Leave a comment below and tell me what you think

of this trend to run to the doctor to create issues where

there really shouldn't be, and what you think you would do if

you were in their shoes. My ethos is always going to be

around holistic treatments, even though I'm not against filler or

Botox. I think there are so many alternatives, but the general

public are simply not aware of them, and the run of your meal.

Salons are offering treatments that can sometimes scare people

or don't provide any results. So how I consult with my clients is

to set an expectation for a treatment and what they need to

understand when treating their skin, lifestyle factors,

hormones, gut health and liver health, which all play a vital

role in results from your skin treatment. So many people come

into clinic expecting the world but they're not willing to put

in the work after the treatment to get their desired results.

You see, your skin is a living organ and functions through a 28

day cycle. So in general terms, when we go for a treatment, the

28 days after the treatment, the skin will respond to that

treatment. We live in a time of instant gratification, where we

want instant results. This is not always possible for skin

treatments. Even when you get Botox and fillers, you need to

wait at least a week to two weeks for the substance to

settle in the skin and for you to get your final result. So

when we are working with skin without foreign substances. When

we are using healing response treatments, we need to give your

skin time for the skin cells to take on the effect of the

treatment. It always baffles me when clients will go religiously

to their hairdresser and spend upwards of $400 per session

every six to eight weeks. But when they need a $90 serum to

improve the skin quality that will last them up to six months.

They will um and ah for ages, even when we explain why they

need it, the level of commitment is just not there. So next time

you walk into a treatment, I want you to ask yourself, Why am

I here? What is the real reason I came and what motivated me to

come into this session? What am I willing to do after this

session to get results that I'm looking for? Will you pay

attention to the skin therapist and her recommendations? Maybe

it's not even that. Maybe you don't know who to trust, or you

have bought products before and you think they don't work. In

that case, let me ask you this question, how long did you use

the product for and if your answer is not three months or

more, then I'm sorry that is not the fault of the product. It's

yours for not being consistent. On the flip side of this

scenario, we often get clients who do nothing, use nothing, and

come in for an advanced treatment with no intention of

correcting their daily care. It's craziness for those of you

who do this, you may as well throw your money in the bin,

because while your treatment is doing its job, you let yourself

down by not following through with supporting the skin's

journey, by nurturing it and helping yourself achieve the

results that you are after. So in short, F. Everything comes

back to your level of commitment and your motivation for change.

Think about it next time you're booking a treatment and ask

about product, ask yourself, Do I really want change? Am I

willing to follow through with the aftercare and commit to the

process, not just for a week or two, long term commitment? And

also ask yourself, why did I book this? What motivated me to

have this treatment, having an advanced treatment, and not

using the right home care after is the equivalent of going to

the gym three times a week and then eating McDonald's. You

would just never do that. I'd like to know your beliefs around

this. Do you book treatments and then not commit to the home

care? Is this something that you've done in the past? And I'd

like to know why? Leave your comments below. Thank you for
