Meet Megan Dimmer: new to aesthetics, big on undetectable injectables, natural lips, and brave enough to say “that’s enough.”
Soft filler, softer hands
At the South London roadshow, after she’d run out of her usual stock, Megan tried HyaFilia Soft. First use, first win. It glides, hydrates, and lets you finesse borders and body without shouting about it. The universe nudged; she used it, and that was that.
“I couldn’t believe how much I loved it,” she said.
“It’s so soft and mouldable, and it hydrates straight into the tissue.”
You could see it in her case photos: edges defined, body smoothed, shape refined. Delicious.
“Be light on the plunger and watch the flow.”
Granulomas love pressure and speed. Technique matters more than millilitres. Go light on the trigger, keep your hand speed steady, lay small, tidy threads rather than heavy boluses, and let the product settle. If you bully a soft filler, it will bully you back; if you’re patient, your lips stay beautiful and look fresher.
Results over millilitres
Most of Megan’s clients are first-timers. They want tidy, undetectable results, not a new identity. She uses what the lip needs, lets the swelling settle, and reviews if required. Sometimes that’s 0.7–0.9 ml, sometimes the full syringe.
Here’s the grown-up part: she charges per syringe, full stop. You pay for the outcome, not a number on a label. We open one single-use syringe, use only what’s needed for a safe and natural result, and discard the remainder. No splitting syringes, no “saving it for later.” That’s how you maintain infection control, prevent cross-contamination, and ensure the work is accurate and reliable. A set price per syringe removes the “I paid for 1 ml, so cram it in” pressure, calms the room, and leads to better, safer results.
Training that respects the craft
Megan didn’t rush in and start jabbing. She chose a comprehensive, in-depth foundation course, built a proper base, then added focused masterclasses to refine technique. She keeps up her CPD because there’s always one small tip that changes everything. Providers who offer clear modules, revisitable digital resources and real aftercare are the ones to trust. The headline is simple: learn properly, then practise carefully.
And a word on stigma
There’s an oversimplified narrative that non-medical practitioners are a problem. It’s untrue and it’s unfair. Many of us have invested heavily in good training, taken it slowly, and built carefully to become the successes we are. The independent, non-medical side of aesthetics is thriving because of injection artistry, ethics, and client care.
We’re crystal clear that we’re not doctors, and that awareness makes the vast majority of us more diligent, not less: cleaner asepsis, gentler hands, lighter pressure, and a habit of stopping when “enough” is enough. Rogues exist in every field; they’re the exception, not the template. The truth is in the work: calm technique, safe standards, and results that hold up quietly in daylight.
The quiet turn to natural
Outside of injectables, Megan teaches lashes, brows and basic facials. She’s seeing what we’re seeing: less heavy “Russian volume”, more lash lifts, healthy texture, and features that still look like you. Social media can fuel extremes, but it also nudges people back to the centre once they see good, subtle work. Pair that with honest education, and clients choose what actually ages well.
Myths, mums and moderation
Many people still hear the term “lip filler” and picture the worst examples. That look takes too much product and the wrong plan. Done well, lips read as you on your best day. If your mum hates injectables, she’s probably only seen overdone faces. Bring her in for a calm consultation; quiet work changes minds.
Knowing when to stop
Megan’s superpower is knowing when a request won’t suit the face or won’t age well, and then redirecting or saying no. That isn’t lost money; it’s long-term thinking. This work is a relationship, not a one-night stand: you build trust, and, trust me, clients respect you for it. Every client is a walking advertisement; if you overfill, your name accompanies it. Keep it looking good and within enhancement and beautification parameters, and your clients will do your marketing for you. And those who don’t respect those boundaries? Let them move on. Your standards are part of your brand.
In my own clinic, I’ve won more business and kept more clients by being honest and avoiding a money-grabbing approach in the moment. If something isn’t needed, I say so. Many of those clients have stayed with me for years, cheering on the business because they trust that I want the best for them. We all want to make money, but I’d rather have ten long-term clients than two one-off big spends. Chasing quick cash is a false economy; if you’re building a real business, you need a solid foundation of returning clients.
What’s next for Megan
More injectables, done slowly and well. More skincare education for younger clients so they stop buying whatever went viral last night. More of the undetectable approach that lets individuality beat copy-and-paste trends. And more learning, always.
If you’re a client
Book in for natural lip shaping that suits your features, enhances your beauty, and has you looking your best, because a touch less is always more. We’ll use what you need, not what a comment thread insists upon. Expect hydration, balance, and that “can’t-quite-tell-but-you-look-great” finish.
If you’re a practitioner
Choose products that move with the tissue, not against it. Work gently. Set a clear per-syringe price and use only what’s needed. Learn well, keep learning, and be willing to say “that’s enough” when the face asks for it. Quiet, careful work holds up in daylight, that’s the Ageing Disgracefully way.
