Hi there! Welcome to the blog of Fresh Faces Medical Aesthetics LTD, this is our first post and so it’s probably helpful if we introduce ourselves, so you can know who we are and what it is that we do –
Fresh Faces by Helen Blanchard is a cosmetic aesthetic clinic offering a range of skin rejuvenation and anti ageing treatments, we specialise in non surgical procedures that are clinically proven to give results. Patient safety and welfare are at the core of our practice.
The mainstay of the focus is helping patients look great for their age but not “done”. Helen feels the ultimate compliment is “you look well” or “you look great” not “what have you had done!?” We don’t subscribe to the done or false look for many different reasons.
Helen started her nursing career over 32 years ago qualifying as a general nurse in 1987 and midwife in 1996. Apon qualifying she staffed at Clatterbridge in the regional cancer centre before moving into the pharmaceutical industry. During this time maintaining her registration by working as a bank nurse in the community. Latterly she worked in General Practice as a practice nurse and also worked as a midwife on labour ward. Helen qualified as an Independent Nurse prescriber in 2009.
Helen made the move into the aesthetics industry in 2008 eventually setting Fresh Faces up in 2009. Initially she ran this along side her NHS role. As the clinic developed and grew Helen left the NHS in 2011 to concentrate full time on aesthetics. Helen was also responsible for setting up and running the nurse led aesthetics clinic at the Spire Hospital, Liverpool for 4 years.
Helen has been actively involved with the British Association of Cosmetic Nurse (BACN) setting up the North West regional group and The Northern Association of Aesthetic Practitoners (NAPG). She regularly attends meetings, participates in on going training and invests in her continuing professional education and development . Motivated by patient safety and safety of practitioners she has always been active in trying to improve standards, good practice and sharing knowledge. Helen is also one of the Nurse advisors on the Save Face advisory board. All of this she does in her own time and at her own cost.
