For those living in Ipswich and wanting to turn back time, Elise Renata is their go-to woman for all treatments anti-ageing from cosmetic injectables to threads, skin boosters, and fat dissolving.
The registered nurse has been injecting at Esteem Clinic for about four years and says the best part of her job is getting to see her clients feel empowered and more confident.
“It‘s extremely rewarding to watch my clients transform, gain self-confidence and be a part of their ‘glow up’ journey.” Elise says.
She prides herself on the trusted relationships she has with each one of her clients who feel right at ease with her expertise.
“My goal is to tailor a specialised treatment plan for each individual client that doesn‘t change but enhances their own natural beauty.
“Treatments are about balancing proportions and creating symmetry, much like a jigsaw, we only treat and replace the pieces of the puzzle that are missing.
Elise feels there are many reasons for the popularity of injectables in recent years such as the accessibility of them – no longer just for the rich and famous, which has resulted in the stigma of undergoing injectables treatments disappearing.
“Treatments now are more affordable and relatively quick – they can even be performed in a lunch break,” the Esteem Clinic practitioner says.
“I also believe the rise in self-care and wellness has contributed to women and men investing in themselves.

The Registered Nurse of 11 years has spent the last five years in cosmetic nursing and loves getting the opportunity to enhance each client’s natural beauty.

“Our holistic approach means we achieve incredible results for all our clients, working from the inside out, head to toe.
