Early Intervention: First Steps to Boosting Skin, Body and Self-Esteem (Webinar)
“Prejuvenation” is becoming a buzzword in beauty – but when should we start, and what are the treatments that can boost our skin, body and self-esteem for the future?
This webinar brought together a panel of forward-thinking practitioners – including skin expert and founder of Adonia Medical Clinic, Dr Ifeoma Ejikeme; aesthetic doctor and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr Joanna Christou; and celebrity facialist, Abigail James – to discuss proactive ways to keep our complexions glowing, our collagen levels topped up, and our confidence high from early adulthood and beyond.
Together, we discovered how to stay looking – and feeling – youthful; while learning to celebrate our individuality and to preserve what is uniquely “us”. In doing so, we took the first steps towards positive optimisation… safely, but also sustainably.
In support of “Early Intervention”, we partnered with AlumierMD to gift one webinar attendee a virtual skincare consultation and suite of AlumierMD products.
