Most medical aesthetic results don’t photograph well.
That doesn’t mean they don’t work. 👀

A lot of results are visible in real life.
They’re just subtle. Balanced. Natural.

I’ve lost count of how many before-and-after photos I’ve seen where you genuinely have to guess which is which.

That’s not bad work, it’s conservative, ethical practice doing exactly what it’s meant to do.

The patient can see it.
They feel it.
They’re over the moon.

The camera? Not so much.

And that’s where the panic sets in:

“If I don’t post before & afters, how do I show results?”
“What am I supposed to post instead?”
“Is my marketing broken?”

No.

The mistake is thinking transformation has to be proven visually.

When your work is designed to be discreet, the solution isn’t louder proof…it’s different proof.

That means marketing:
• your judgement, not just outcomes
• your restraint, not shock value
• the confidence patients gain, not the millimetres added

Because the tide has changed.

Patients don’t want to look done.
And ethical practitioners aren’t creating drastic changes just to make Instagram happy.

In medical aesthetics, the real transformation isn’t a before-and-after photo.
It’s the quiet return of someone’s confidence.

And subtle work needs marketing that understands that.

If you’re copying influencer marketing advice and still staring at gaps in your clinic diary… this is why 👀

You’ve done the trends.
You’ve tried the hooks.
You’ve probably even thought,
“Maybe it’s just me?”

It’s not.

For the last 3+ years, I’ve been helping UK medical aesthetic clinics turn Instagram into booked appointments -
and the pattern is always the same.

Generic strategies bring generic enquiries.
And trends without strategy just create noise.

Medical aesthetics isn’t a lifestyle brand.
It’s regulated.
It’s trust-led.
It’s local.

It needs strategy.

Everything I build here is about one thing:
visibility that turns into real patient demand for UK clinics.

If you want pretty posts, there really are cheaper options.
But if you want your diary filling without posting every day -
that’s my lane.

Save this if you’re done guessing.
DM MANAGE if you want Instagram to actually work for your clinic.

You’ve been trying to build a recliner chair… but the manual you’ve been following is for a kayak 🚣‍♀️ 😵‍💫

It’s not your fault.

Most “Instagram advice” out there was never written for medical aesthetic practitioners.

it was written for influencers, lifestyle creators, or anyone whose job isn’t actually treating patients.

So you’ve been:

• posting more instead of posting smarter

• copying what you think works

• polishing your grid like it’s a showroom

• wondering why bookings aren’t increasing

Your marketing isn’t broken, your manual is.

Because what grows an aesthetics clinic isn’t trends or aesthetics…

It’s search-friendly keywords, StoryBrand-level clarity, and content built for patient decision-making, not vanity metrics.

When you follow the right manual, everything feels lighter:

✔ your posts finally reach the right people

✔ your content becomes searchable on Instagram + Google

✔ your enquiries start increasing

✔ and no, you don’t have to post every day

If you’re tired of trying to assemble a business strategy with the wrong instructions…

I didn’t plan any of this 😅

In my 30s I thought I’d stay in my “safe job” forever.

The shifts, the exhaustion, living life around someone else’s rota.

It felt normal.

But something happens when you hit your 40s.

You start questioning everything.

And if you happen to be a 40+ aesthetic nurse prescriber or medical practitioner trying to grow your aesthetics business on Instagram… this will feel familiar.

You get braver.

You get louder.

You stop caring what anyone thinks. 🤷🏻‍♀️

There were so many moments where I almost quit.

The panic.

The “should I just go back to a normal job?” spirals.

The doubt from other people… and from myself.

I don’t miss the old life.

Not the night shifts.
Not the boss.
Not the feeling of being replaceable.

I like the freedom.

I like being home for my daughter.

I like building something that’s mine (even if some days I feel like I’m holding everything together with mocha and stubbornness.)

If you’re in your 40s, building an aesthetics business, second-guessing yourself daily… keep going.

You’re not late.

You’re not behind.

You’re not “too old”.

You’re just finally choosing you.

Three hashtags. One shot at discovery. If your clinic’s next post isn’t search-optimised, it’s invisible🫥

Instagram’s 3-Hashtag Rule is here to stay.

What does this mean for your clinic?

Keywords = king. Your hashtags now act as search labels, not just decor.

No strategy? You’ll lose visibility.

Intentional, SEO-driven content? You’ll stay seen - especially by local patients.

Want a quick win? DM VISIBLE and I’ll send:

• 3 tailored hashtags for your next post
• 1 name line keyword
• 1 fast SEO tweak for clinic discovery

(Save + share so your clinic stays visible. No panic-posting needed!)

I didn’t plan to take four months off Instagram. Life just got… life-y 😬

Client work ramped up, launches rolled in, and my own account quietly slipped to the bottom of the to-do list.

BUT!…
My account didn’t tank. It grew.

Steady link clicks, and new enquiries still coming in every month.

No panic-posting because someone on Reels said “the algorithm punishes you.”

And yes, I know that sentence just made a few marketers clutch their iced lattes 😶‍🌫️

The truth I want aesthetic practitioners to finally lean into is:

Consistency isn’t king. Strategy is.

My content kept working without me because it was designed to rank, to be searchable, and to stay discoverable even when I wasn’t online.

SEO-rich captions.
Search-friendly keywords.
Reels designed for saves.
Thumbnails built for Google.

Messaging that doesn’t confuse people into leaving.
A profile that converts views → clicks → enquiries.

That’s the stuff that quietly runs in the background while you’re doing actual life.

This is exactly what I build for my clients, so they can take time off without their business falling off a cliff.

If you want your content working for you even when you’re not, start here:

💗 Save this carousel

💗 DM PLAN and I’ll show you the strategy that keeps clinics visible…without the burnout.

Last week, I helped an injector who was spending two hours writing every caption. 🥺

Not because she didn’t know what she was doing -
but because they were overthinking every word of the hook.

And to be fair… they were right to.

Because if the first line doesn’t grab people, the rest of the caption doesn’t stand a chance.

So I made this:
20 fill-in-the-blank hooks that do two things really well:
💡 Grab attention fast
🔍 Help you show up in search

Save it for the next time you’re stuck staring at your notes app.

You don’t need to be a copywriter.
You just need better tools.

Instagram SEO has changed (as of July 10) 📢

Google is now showing more Instagram content, including your Reels, carousels, captions, and profiles.

That means your posts can appear in Google search results- not just the Explore feed.

✅ More visibility outside the app
✅ Longer shelf life (your post can rank for months)
✅ Patients searching “microneedling Manchester” could find YOUR CLINIC! 🤩

But only if you optimise your content for both Instagram AND search engines.

That means:
– Writing like you want to be found, not just seen
– Using real keywords like “tear trough filler Aylesbury”
– Adding text overlays to Reels + carousels
– Putting key phrases in the first 100 characters

I’m not a practitioner- but I write every post with your patients’ search terms in mind.

This is the exact SEO approach I use to help aesthetic clinics turn content into bookings, and it’s more important than ever now Google’s crawling IG.

✅ Your Instagram is now part of your wider SEO strategy.
❌ Stories, private accounts, and lazy captions won’t show up.

📄 Want the full breakdown?

Posting every day won’t get you booked. Here’s what will 👇🏼

She was doing everything right.
✅ Consistent posting
✅ Clean, professional feed
✅ Showing up in stories

But still? Only 1 new patient a month from Instagram.

Then we changed the strategy:
→ Fewer posts
→ Smarter structure
→ Every caption written to lead somewhere (aka the DMs)
→ And 90% of the content designed to connect, not just promote

Three months later?

She’s getting 5–6 new patients per month from Instagram.

Most weeks, her diary’s full.

Her content now speaks to patients who book, not just browse. 👀

Now, not everyone is ready for full content management.
But every aesthetic practitioner can benefit from a focused strategy call.

That’s exactly what my 1:1 FOCUS session is.

🎯 In 60 minutes, we’ll clarify what’s working, what’s not, and what content will actually book patients- based on your clinic, your audience, and your goals.

Because real bookings don’t come from viral views,
they come from connection, clarity, and content that’s written to convert.

💬 DM me the word FOCUS for a 1:1 session that shows you how to do it in your own account.
