Wellness & Supplements

Supporting your wellbeing from the inside out

At Angel Aesthetics I believe that looking after your skin and looking after your overall wellbeing can go hand in hand.

Our wellness options are designed around self care, nutrition and wellbeing support alongside our aesthetic treatments.

The focus is not on diagnosing or treating medical conditions. Instead I can provide information about selected wellness supplements that may complement a healthy lifestyle.

If you have symptoms, a suspected deficiency or an underlying health concern please speak to your GP or another appropriate healthcare professional rather than using our wellness services as a substitute for medical care.

Wellness supplements

There are many nutritional supplements available on the market and it can be difficult to know which products are worth considering.

I offer a small selection of supplements that I have chosen because they fit with my approach to skin health, nutrition and general wellbeing.

Supplements are intended to complement a healthy, balanced diet - not replace it.

Any supplement recommendations will be discussed in the context of your individual circumstances, and you should always check whether a supplement is appropriate if you take medication or have an underlying health condition.

Collagen supplements

Collagen is a structural protein found throughout the body, including in the skin.

As part of my approach to supporting skin health, I have spent time looking into what I feel are the best effective but affordable collagen supplements. I recommend Vida Glow and they have a range of different products, however my favourite is Vida Glow Pro Collagen +

Vida Glow ProCollagen+

Pro-Collagen+ is a collagen supplement designed to be incorporated easily into your daily routine. It can be mixed into drinks such as coffee or other beverages, making it a convenient option for busy lifestyles.

I like this because it is marine collagen (better for skin than bovine collagen), has a decent dose per serving (2.5g) and it is low Dalton weight (300). All of these factors affect how effective collagen supplements are.

If you're already following a skincare or aesthetic treatment programme, nutritional support may be considered as one part of a wider approach to looking after your skin.

 

As part of my research into Collagen Supplements I have published 2 blog articles with Save Face:

Wellness and aesthetic treatments

Wellness support may complement your aesthetic treatment plan, but it isn't a replacement for medical care.

For example, your wider approach to skin health might include:

Professional treatments
Such as chemical peels, skinboosters or other appropriate aesthetic treatments.

Home skincare
A consistent, personalised skincare routine to support the health and appearance of your skin.

Nutrition and supplements
Where appropriate, nutritional support alongside a balanced diet.

Lifestyle and self care
Sleep, hydration, nutrition, movement and taking time for yourself can all form part of looking after your overall wellbeing.

There is no single treatment or supplement that can do all of this for you.

A note about vitamin injections

I am currently not promoting vitamin injections as treatments for health conditions or nutritional deficiencies.

If you are concerned that you may be deficient in a vitamin, experiencing unexplained symptoms, or have been advised that you require vitamin replacement, please speak to your GP or an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

A suspected vitamin deficiency may require appropriate clinical assessment and, where indicated, blood testing and medical treatment and our wellness offering should not be used instead of this.

What wellness support can and cannot do

My wellness service is intended to support general wellbeing and self care.

It is not a diagnostic service and I do not use supplements to treat:

• Vitamin deficiencies
• Anaemia
• Fatigue or unexplained tiredness
• Anxiety or depression
• Hormonal conditions
• Diabetes
• Immune disorders
• Sleep disorders
• Pain conditions
• Hair loss conditions
• Other medical conditions

If you have concerns about any of these, please seek appropriate medical advice.

Your consultation

If you're interested in improving your skin, nutrition or general wellbeing but aren't sure where to start, you're welcome to discuss your goals with me.

I can explain the aesthetic treatments, skincare and wellness products I offer and help you understand which options may be appropriate.

Where your concerns suggest that you may need medical assessment rather than an aesthetic or wellness service I will advise you to speak to your GP or another appropriate healthcare professional.

A considered approach to wellbeing

I don't believe that looking after yourself needs to mean buying lots of treatments or supplements.

Sometimes the most useful place to start is with the basics: good nutrition, appropriate skincare, adequate sleep, movement and making time for yourself.

Where supplements or aesthetic treatments may have a place alongside those foundations, they can be considered as part of a wider, personalised approach.
