This lovely lady came to me to ask if I could help minimising fine lines on her forehead, reducing redness and treating old scarring.

Swipe across to see if I managed to help 👉

I am so pleased with the results for her!

Wanna know what we did?

Her home skincare was really good, so we discussed the options and she agreed to try a course of medical microneedling.

This is just before her third and final session, so these results will have actually improved even more, which is amazing 🤩!

Here’s what I hope you can see in the pics:

💫 Fresher, brighter, plumper skin. It’s healthy and glowing, isn’t it?!!
💫 More even skin tone and reduction in pigmentation.
💫 Softening of lines on forehead and under the eyes-look at the close ups. They are not gone, granted, but they have definitely sooo improved.
💫 Reduced pore size due to increased collagen and elastin.
💫 Stronger skin, improved skin health and reduced redness from when she first came to see me.

Needling has always been and remains one of the best treatments we offer It works so well with skincare and can also be combined with other treatments if you want to.

If you’d like to book in for a chat about this or any other treatments, please head to the link in my bio to book a consultation and we can discuss this with you xx

Stretch marks X Medical Microneedling

I did a reel yesterday showing an actual treatment in progress, but promised to come back today to tell you all about this result, so here I am 🙋🏻‍♀️.

This lady had six sessions with (this was before her 6th, so this photo isn’t even the final result, it will get better over the next few weeks!).

Isn’t this result amazing?!

We’ve got a few ladies having this at the moment so I will hopefully bring you more pics soon.

So, how does it work?

💙 Microneedling stretchmarks helps break down and removal of old and damaged collagen and promotes new collagen and elastin growth

💙 The treatment induces keratinocyte growth, releasing growth factors that encourage collagen and elastin production by fibroblasts

💙 it also influences skin genes to restructure the support network, promoting healthy and youthful-looking skin by improving collagen and other vital component production.

The end result as you can see, is a reduction in the appearance of stretchmarks, firmer skin and also a huge reduction in the depth of the scarring underneath the skin.

If you’ve got any questions, as always drop me a message ⬇️

How do you feel about the way you look?

Often people come to me because they are unhappy with something that makes them feel a certain way. Often it’s attached to negative emotions such as looking sad, angry, tired or as my lady this morning sad “bedraggled” 🫣

When it comes to aesthetic treatments, people typically think of puffy lips, frozen faces and women who look a little bit weird and waxy...but for the vast majority of people - and there are millions of them having regular skin and aesthetic treatments - they just want a bit of help to look and feel their best.

So whilst it seems laced with vanity and self-obsession, in reality, skin treatments and injectables are just another tool in our armoury when it comes to looking great and ageing well.

If you’re curious about how I can help you look phenomenal 🫶🏻 and feel even better 💪, head to the link in the bio and book a consultation.

We will sit and discuss some options with you and you then get to go away and consider if you like the sound of any of them!

Stubborn pockets of fat that won’t disappear with diet or exercise? Looking for inch loss, body contouring and skin tightening?

We’ve got you covered!

We offer weekly courses (typically 8-12 sessions) to help with the device. This technology allows us to create bespoke plans that include a combination of:

💫 Cavitation (great for fat reduction, inch loss)
💫 Radiofrequency (great for skin tightening, fat melting and cellulite reduction)
💫 Shockwave (great for stubborn fat pockets, skin tightening and lymphatic drainage)
💫 Fat freezing (great for stubborn pockets of fat and body sculpting)

Treatments are often combined in a single session to give a bespoke plan for fat removal, skin tightening and cellulite reduction. Typical results are expected after an 8 wk course would be to drop a dress size or may lose 5-8 inches when inch loss combined per course. Some results are instant, whilst others take a few weeks or months to see a full result (fat freezing).

This gorgeous lady had lost a lot of weight, but was was struggling with some stubborn fat pockets and also wanted to get a bit of skin tightening going on too. She’s kindly let us share her results so you can see for yourself what is achievable 🙏🙌.

With age comes wisdom and often increased confidence, but sometimes also can result in feeling a little lost with those changes.

Perimenopause and menopause can be a whirlwind of physical, emotional and psychological change, and I often hear the sentiments of my patients missing their “old self”.

Some start to not recognise the person looking back at them in the mirror each morning. Or, maybe they recognise them, because it resembles their mother (which is now a bad thing of course)!

The fact is, we’re living longer than ever before and there are skincare products, in-clinic treatments and supplements that can really help you slow the pace of change...giving you time to adjust to the new you.

We have so many options to help you find your old self, or become more comfortable with this new version ❤️! These may range from skincare through to injectables-there’s so much to choose from to suit you.

Why not book a consultation, to see how we can help you get back to being you?

Naturally thinner top lip? 👄 No problem!

Just a tiny tweak can help you to feel happier and more confident about this 🪄 if it’s something that you would like to work on too.

Here you can see I’ve worked on enhancing the shape and size of these lovely lips, prioritising the top lip to give more balance and definition.

First time lip enhancement for this gorgeous lady and what a beautiful, soft and natural result-just as she’d asked for!

And rather than me harping on about 🫣🫣- swipe to see her amazing review 🫶🏻

I know it’s a big decision in who to trust with your lovely selves, it means such a lot to be the one you choose 🤩

Have a fab Wednesday everyone 🥳

Photos from FaceOxford's post 30/03/2024

A little bit of lip love for these two beauties 💋 that I thought I’d share with you from a few weeks back.

Both ladies have had filler before so this was just a little touch up, working on shape and a bit more definition. The no lip filler look-soft and subtle. Both used 0.7mls RHA Kiss by which is lovely for a natural result.

Hope you’re all having a fab Easter 🐣 weekend so far!

Annual microneedling session for my brother and his lovely wife. This is showing them straight after their treatments so you can see what the skin looks like afterwards and the way it varies from person to person. Normally my sis in law is way redder, this time it was my bro-this is totally normal!

It’s SUCH a fab treatment to help with so many different things and it’s GREAT for skin health!

There is lots of research to show it is a safe and effective treatment to give you plumper, firmer and glowing skin.

Hands down, it is my favourite treatment and I recommend it to pretty much EVERYONE!! (Myself and family included as you can see 😆).

It’s great for all skin types (not active acne or unstable rosacea), skin colours and all genders. My advice is if you’re human and you have skin, you’re in! ☺️

It helps to improve:
⭐️ Skin tone
⭐️ Wrinkles and fine lines
⭐️ Skin texture
⭐️ Large pores
⭐️ Acne scarring
⭐️ Scars e.g. burns/trauma//stretchmarks
⭐️ Discolouration (hyperpigmentation/melasma)

💋💋💋Lips pre any filler and a year later after a top up.

I always recommend a less is more approach and that to to where you want to be, sometimes it takes a couple sessions.

My lovely patient here is a perfect example of this-we’ve really worked on enhancing her shape and just the right amount of volume so they still look like her lips, just a little extra 🫶🏻

Find the answer to my MOST ASKED QUESTION ⬇️

Most of my consultations go like this…

“Hi Kat, I’ve been following you for a while and never done anything like this before so I’m really nervous, but I’ve suddenly noticed some new lines and I feel like I’m suddenly looking so much older. Can you help?”

Me: “Oh, ok, I’m sure I can help, no problem”

You: “I’m worried about looking fake though”

Me: “That’s definitely not my style either 😊, let’s run through some options for you to consider and here’s how I recommend we approach it”

If you swipe through the slides, you’ll see how I explain things and run through all the possible options, starting with skincare through to skin treatments and finally, if required and desired, injectables.

My final slide shows where I recommend you start and how to move through the stages. It’s literal gold dust, right here in a post! ✉️

I mean, how is it even fair that these lips aren’t mine 🤷‍♀️, they are so gorgeous!

They were lovely before of course, but with just this tiny bit of filler, they are just perfect 🤩

Totally gave myself lip envy giving these beauties a little plump and oh how I was happy when she said I could share them with you all 🫶🏻. It’s never a problem if you prefer not, but it’s sooooo much fun to show you what I’ve been up to!

I have the best job, doing something I love and where is can use both my artistic skills and my medical and aesthetic knowledge in one place. I truly believe it takes all three to do this job safely and beautifully.

I hope you all love these as much as we do ❤️

Happy New year 🥳 everyone!

Can’t say I’m not glad to see the end of that year and I think I could still do with another week off! Anyone else feel like this too?

There is no picture of me today, because quite frankly I’ve eaten too many mince pies and I’m still in my PJs 😆. Truth be told, I’m feeling a bit burned out with life in general at the moment and so I’m taking my time slowly getting back to it all.

There are so many energetic posts and NY resolutions out there on social media at the moment but this is a reminder that it’s ok if you’re not quite there yet. I’m not for sure, so let’s hang here together and just be happy with being here 🤩!

Take the time you need to rest and recharge and wind back into the new year in your own time.

I have got some exciting new packages launching soon and I’ve got some training in something new next week, so there is stuff to look forward to coming this way soon!

My kids don’t go back to school till Monday the 8th and we’re also moving into our new house that day so I’m not gonna promise too much content between now and then but I’ll see what I can do for you guys ❤️

“Softening” signs of ageing that can sometimes bother us is possible, as you can see in this picture.

This is a great example-it is really soft and result but one of the things I’m always asked to do is “make me look like me just me on a good day”. That’s what we’ve done here!

This was just a little bit of dermal filler placed directly into the area - by

Prepare to be amazed…..

This is the results from one YES ONE Microneedling treatment. This wonderful patient came to Emily wanting to reduce her scaring. As you can see, not only have we already had scaring improvements but also the pigmentation has already reduced.

We are so excited to see her skin transformation over the next 2 treatments and will be sure to share them with you.

This is why is this one of our favourite treatments and technologies in clinic

Absolutely incredible!

05/04/2023

We have been keeping a little secret 🤫

These absolutely incredible results were achieved at the start of 2023! After two body contouring packages, one on the lower stomach and one on the sides, just look what has been achieved! We are all literally blown away and are so excited to share them with you all!

Emily and her wonderful patient worked together for an hour a week, every week for 20 weeks! Let me explain how it works…..

💫 Fat freezing (stubborn pockets of fat and body sculpting)
💫 Cavitation (fat reduction, inch loss)
💫 Radiofrequency (skin tightening, fat melting and cellulite reduction)
💫 Shockwave (stubborn fat pockets, skin tightening and lymphatic drainage)

We can treat lots of areas on the body (but stomachs do work sooooo well) and some results are seen really quickly, whilst others take a few more weeks (fat freezing).

If you are wanting to find out more, grab yourself a consultation with Emily and you will absolutely be in great hands.

Lips are so unique and so every treatment is too.

For some people it’s a very subtle and natural enhancement, for some they are looki for and like a fuller look.

The most important thing is that I listen you and work with you always to find the perfect result for you and that you’re included in the process at every step.

Here are a few from the last week, hope you love them!

All using products from the amazing range by which allows me to deliver the perfect result for you 🫶🏻.

Happy Saturday guys!!

When your skin needs a little TLC and a reset but you don’t want the downtime of a chemical peel, why not have a totally bespoke and luxury targeted facial by ☺️

In just a single hour, this lovely lady had a skin reset, with a double cleanse, balancing solution to prep the skin, an enzymatic resurfacing treatment to gently exfoliate, followed not one but two masks-deep moisture and and intensely hydrating aqua infusion. We finished up with an antioxidant rich serum that also brightens the skin, and then finally recovery balm to soothe and protect and the all important SPF.

She had a beautiful instant result that you can see here, that will not only give her a long lasting result but also help her own skincare at home to work a bit better.

Just look at that GLOW!!!! ✨ ✨

Literally can’t stop looking at this photo and I’m so excited to be able to share this with you, with kind permission of our lovely client 🫶🏻.

As you can see in the top photo, this lady had a fair bit of scarring from acne and came to see me to see if there was anything we could do to help.

I first microneedled her a couple years ago and she had great results with a course of three sessions, but we knew it might take a few more to really help break down the scar tissue and trigger some fabulous remodelling of the skin and promotion of collagen growth.

She came back to see us and is currently having a second course and this time we’re getting serious with six sessions over six months.

This is about halfway through and we’re blown away with how things are looking. Emily and I couldn’t even wait for the end results 😆, so we asked if we could share now.

Who thinks this is INSANE and who can’t wait to see the progress pics at the end?! Let me know ⬇️!

Have you had a consultation with us?

Check out my pinned post on consultations to find out more, but here I’m gonna talk to you about a device we use in clinic called the Observ 520x by

Swipe to see more info about it and read on for more details!

🌟 We always give so much info at consultations and you often tell us that it can actually be tricky to remember it all.

🎯 We pop in loads of hints and tips too to help you maximise your skin health and achieve your goals.

🌟 We email you the report and plans for skincare and treatments after your consultation, so you are able to see exactly what I recommend and why and how we can make improvements over time.

⭐️ The cool thing is that the OBSERV will follow you throughout your treatment journey with us at Face Oxford, providing before and after pictures that literally help us to track progress and adapt if needed.

⭐️ Observ 520x is included with skin consultations (worth £50).

I’ve just been on some super extra training with to get me an even greater depth of understanding when looking at the pics, and I cannot wait to use these tomorrow in clinic! 🫶🏻

Well, well, well, apparently IG has fessed up to overdoing reels last year, so we’re now able to post some pic’s again- hallelujah!!

A couple people mentioned to me recently they were sad I stopped doing filler cos they liked my results……but I hadn’t, it was just that no one got shown them and we were all hounded into dancing round like fools on reels instead 🫣 (For anyone who liked seeing me making a fool of myself, don’t worry, I’ll keep a bit of both 😜).

Anyhoo, apparently the madness has now ended, so I can start sharing proper photos with you again!!

If this makes you happy, please do help me out here and drop a comment below. Would be super grateful!

Swipe to see her words on her skin progress so far and as she says, this is just the beginning.

Stay tuned for more updates as she progresses through her “amazing year of skin” subscription package with us. Great skin is not an overnight process but requires patience, consistency and dedication.

Our subscription includes three sessions each of , chemical peels and microneedling.

Starting the year sharing some insane results that we are so proud of 🥳.

Drop us a🖐️ below if you think they’re great too!

This lady already had a beautiful figure, of course, but was bothered by pockets of fat that didn’t improve no matter what she did with exercise, diet and a healthy lifestyle.

She came to see us and we came up with a bespoke course of treatments, clinically proven to help with fat reduction, skin tightening and inch loss.

Here’s how it works:

💫 Cavitation (fat reduction, inch loss)
💫 Radiofrequency (skin tightening, fat melting and cellulite reduction)
💫 Shockwave (stubborn fat pockets, skin tightening and lymphatic drainage)
💫 Fat freezing (stubborn pockets of fat and body sculpting)

We can treat lots of areas on the body (but stomachs do work sooooo well) and some results are seen really quickly, whilst others take a few weeks (fat freezing).

So happy with these early results for a very lovely lady, helping to smooth her skin, even out the texture, reduce pore size and soften acne scarring.

This was after just a single session of micro-needling, guys-amazing, hey?

Can’t wait to share more results as we go forward with her treatments.

02/12/2022

Lol, this is how much I am loving our new skin tightening radio frequency machine and the results were getting!!

To be fair, when I’m not singing (as per an old reel if you saw that one) this is often my excited and happy face whilst I’m doing treatments, cos I do love my work, but you guys have your eyes closed so you’ve never seen it 😂😂😂!

This particular beauty of this treatment helps to cause a lifting and tightening effect and can be done on the face and neck or on the body, with common areas being loose skin on arms, legs and as you can see here, we can also give you a lift in the old buttock region 🍑! I’ll start sharing some progress photos with you all soon to show you the type of results we can get.

Taking bookings for mid/late January now.

(Thanks for capturing this hilarious moment in time during our training 📸)
