In this weeks episode Emily Ruse is joined by Dr. Hazel Parkinson a GP, aesthetic practitioner, dermatology expert and women’s health advocate. With over 20 years of NHS experience, postgraduate dermatology training and a thriving private clinic in Warwickshire, Dr. Hazel brings an exceptional depth of insight into the intersection of skin, hormones, menopause and whole-person care.

This conversation goes far beyond injectables. Dr. Hazel breaks down what truly impacts midlife skin, why stress and sleep matter just as much as skincare, and how hormone changes show up on the face long before patients recognise the symptoms. Her approach is refreshingly realistic and rooted in long-term, evidence-based care.

If you’re an aesthetic practitioner supporting women in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond, this episode will challenge how you think about treatment planning, consultation style and long-term results. It’s a grounded, insightful conversation that brings together dermatology, hormones and aesthetics in a way every practitioner needs to hear.
