Client Spotlight
Cy
Cy began her aesthetics journey with Age With Elegance Medical Aesthetics & Skin Clinic in 2019. While she did not have one specific concern, she was unhappy with her appearance and wanted to improve her skin quality and overall look. Consultation identified significant signs of ageing, sun damage, volume loss and deeper lines and wrinkles, so we agreed from the outset that her transformation would be a gradual journey over several months rather than a quick fix.
Skincare Regime
We introduced Cy to a medical-grade skincare routine using the Obagi Medical Anti-Oxidant System. Her tailored regimen included:
- Obagi C-Rx Cleansing Gel: to address congestion and dullness, helping reveal fresher-looking skin.
- Professional-C Microdermabrasion Polish + Mask: used 2–3 times weekly for exfoliation and Vitamin C infusion.
- Professional-C Serum 15%: for daily antioxidant protection and rejuvenation.
- Professional-C Peptide Complex: applied in the evenings to support firmness and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
- Hydrate Moisturiser: providing up to eight hours of hydration.
- Professional-C Suncare SPF30: broad-spectrum sun protection with added Vitamin C.
- Obagi 1% Retinol: introduced after several weeks to support skin renewal, texture and tone.
This comprehensive skincare plan has remained a key part of Cy's long-term maintenance routine.
Anti-Wrinkle Treatments & Volume Restoration
Cy underwent regular anti-wrinkle treatment with Botulinum Toxin A, initially around every three months and later extending to approximately four to five months as muscle activity became better controlled. Her frown lines, commonly known as the 11s, proved more resistant, so a soft dermal filler, Teosyal RHA 1, was introduced cautiously to soften the area.
We then addressed mid-face volume loss and deeper wrinkles using a combination of dermal fillers:
- Teosyal Ultra Deep and RHA 4: to restore cheek volume.
- Teosyal RHA 3 and RHA 2: for the nasolabial folds, marionette lines and perioral wrinkles.
- Teosyal RHA 2: to define the vermillion border and soften fine lines around the mouth.
Skin Texture Improvement
Four months into the treatment plan, significant improvements were already visible. To further support skin texture and elasticity, Cy underwent a course of Sunekos® consisting of one 1200 treatment and three 200 treatments, spaced one to two weeks apart.
This patented blend of Hyaluronic Acid and Amino Acids was selected to stimulate collagen and elastin production and support healthier-looking skin.
Skin Rejuvenation
We then focused on ongoing skin rejuvenation using:
- BioRePeel with Age With Elegance Signature Facials: performed monthly to support cell turnover.
- Skin Tech Easy TCA Classic Medium Depth Peel: used during the winter months to target photoageing, pigmentation and post-acne scarring.
This phase left Cy's skin visibly smoother and more radiant.
Maintenance
Cy now follows a personalised maintenance plan, visiting the clinic every few months for skin reviews and minor adjustments. Her routine includes:
- Anti-wrinkle treatments approximately every five months.
- Occasional small-volume dermal filler touch-ups.
- Skin boosters approximately every 9–12 months.
- Continued daily use of her Obagi Retinol and Anti-Oxidant skincare routine.
Looking ahead, Cy is interested in a course of 3D Dermaforce Microneedling with Radiofrequency to further improve lines around the mouth.

Cy's Review
“I met Cath a few years ago now and can honestly say, I have never met a kinder, more considerate, patient, honest woman who truly cares about people, not only in her day-to-day life, but also in how she makes you feel and truly listens to the goals you would like to achieve. Cath always gives an honest opinion of your goals and if achievable, even if you do not agree, which some may not.”
“I have found Cath to be super supportive in what I was trying to achieve and to help regain my confidence, which, may I add, she has superseded in both respects. I never expected to look the way I do now and all of this is down to Cath and her knowledge, skill, input, kindness and patience.”
“Cath has never let me down and always, always been honest about what is achievable for me because, let's be honest, once you start a journey like this, you always want more and more even if those goals are not practical. I have been quite ill for a number of years and the condition I had and the treatments I received have taken their toll on me quite badly. My confidence was, shall we say, shattered. I didn't see any point in anything anymore; I was just happy to be alive.”
“I was really down one day and a friend recommended I call and speak to Cath just for a chat to see if she could rebuild my confidence and help me. To be honest, I didn't think this was achievable — how wrong was I. If anybody is looking to rebuild their confidence, even a little, I would recommend you speak to Cath, even if you don't follow through with your goals, just to see what is achievable and for a listening ear. Thank you Cath for everything you have done for me so far and continue to do.”
