Transforming Ageing Skin
Few things light up a treatment room like the moment a client realises their skin really can look fresher, firmer and more luminous. Gillian’s finalist client said: “My skin is glowing and feels plumped and I’ve had many comments on how good it’s looking. I will continue with maintenance as it’s one of the best treatments I’ve had”.

We sat down with Gillian to discover how she guides clients from that very first consultation right through to entering the competition…
Hi Gillian, thanks for chatting to us today. First off, we want to know:
Q: What are clients’ main concerns? What are the issues clients want help with most?
“Clients of all ages, with various skin complaints come to me for help. Mostly clients have concerns with ageing skin. I would say most clients have concerns about fine lines, loss of elastin (resulting in sagging skin) and the loss of a youthful glow.”
Why Skin Changes With Age
As we age, the amount of collagen our body naturally creates starts to slow and we start to see changes to our skin including fine lines, uneven skin tone and sagging skin. The happy news is, of course, SkinBase therapists have the tools to help with these concerns!
Non-Invasive Treatments Delivering Real Results
SkinBase Collagen Lift, Microdermabrasion, and IPL Advanced can all help when transforming ageing skin, by improving skin tone and texture as well as boosting collagen and elastin production. Each of which are really important for our skin’s strength and elasticity.
We know that clients can feel really unsure about trying new treatments, so:
Q: how do you reassure clients who are nervous about trying non-invasive anti-ageing treatments for the first time?
“I reassure my clients by letting them see my previous before and after results, letting them know what the treatments involve and most importantly how they feel and what to expect during and after treatment.”
Gillian also tries out all treatments she offer first, because she wants to “know exactly what it feels like.”
Our SkinBase Therapists always want to make sure the treatments that they offer to clients do what they say on the tin, so trying out the treatments is the perfect way to ensure this.
Setting positive (and realistic!) expectations
With treatments like Collagen Lift, there are many biological and environmental factors that can affect results.
Q: How do you set realistic but positive expectations for clients about the results they might achieve?
“I am always realistic and let my clients understand that although our treatments are amazing everyone has different results. We will work to improve any areas of concern and I ensure them if nothing else they will look like a fresher version of themselves.“
Transforming Ageing Skin: Lifestyle Factors
It’s not just about treatments, your lifestyle plays a part too.
SkinBase treatments work best when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
Q: Do you discuss nutrition and hydration with your clients to help them achieve that radiant glow?
“I am always chatting to clients about ways to improve their overall health, leading to better skin. Ways in which diet and exercise can improve skin health and make results last longer. No one leaves me without being encouraged to drink more water at the very least.”
Why Hydration Matters for SkinBase Collagen Lift
We all know we are supposed to drink 2 litres of water a day, but the benefits of this should really not be underestimated. It’s also important before and after Collagen Lift treatments:
- Improves conductivity – allows the energy to travel more efficiently through hydrated tissues
- Supports your lymphatic system helping it manage cellular waste and repair
- Aids detoxification flushing out waste and reducing inflammation for better results
Gillian’s Top 3 Tips for Radiant Skin at Home
Wondering if it’s too late to start? It never is!
Q: What are your top three tips for maintaining youthful, radiant skin at home alongside professional treatments?
1. Drink plenty of water
2. Get enough sleep
3. Follow a skincare routine you can stick to!
Q: What would you say to someone in their 40s, 50s, or beyond who is unsure whether professional treatments can still make a visible difference to their skin?
“Many of my clients are 40-80+ years. It’s never too late to start making positive changes for your skin!”
Q: Can you share a moment when you saw a client’s confidence bloom as their skin started to look more radiant and youthful?
“I have many clients that walk through the door mid treatment plan looking so much more confident in their own skin. It’s like it gives people almost a new lease of life.”
Q: How does it feel to be a Transformation of the Year 2025 Finalist?
“I’m so excited for my client (and ourselves) to be a finalist. My clients results mean the world to me and my lovely client Joan, who has been my client for many years, really deserves to win. She has kept up with a treatment plan, works out and eats well. She is an inspiration to many.”
