Welcome to Face Facts. A podcast where aesthetics meets real life. Hosted by two friends, mums and aesthetics practitioners, Face Facts is a refreshingly honest conversation about faces, ageing, confidence, relationships, work, motherhood, wellness and everything else life throws our way. Some weeks we’ll be talking filler, Botox, industry myths and the latest trends. Other weeks we’ll be talking about friendships, hormones, business, parenting, products we’re loving, things we’re questioning and the realities of trying to juggle it all. We’ll be separating the facts from the b******t, sharing stories from clinic and beyond, debating hot takes and saying the things most people only admit behind closed doors. No scripts. No lectures. No pretending we’ve got it all figured out. Just honest conversations, strong opinions, plenty of laughs and the occasional uncomfortable truth. Because life isn’t just about how you look. But let’s be honest… sometimes it helps. Produced by Holly Rushton.

    Nightmare Clients, Temple Filler & Saying No - From Aesthetics After Dark to Advocating for Your Kids

    This week on Face Facts, we’re talking about the realities of working in aesthetics, from nightmare clients and unpaid treatments to knowing when to stand your ground. Gem and Faye share some of their worst client experiences, including abusive late-night messages, people trying to get away without paying and one particularly bizarre request involving fraudulent invoices. We’re also getting into consultations and why sometimes the best approach is to let the patient tell you what they actually want to change, rather than pointing out flaws they hadn’t even noticed. Then it’s time for the treatment talk. What should you actually be doing in your 20s and 30s? When should you introduce treatments like Sculptra and other biostimulators? What can help with volume loss as we age? And which treatments are seriously underrated? From preventative Botox, Retinal and microneedling to temple filler, skin boosters, dermal fillers and treating the neck and hands, we’re talking through what we’d actually recommend at different stages of life. And finally, things get more personal as Gem opens up about her son Bobby’s experience with autism, advocating for children and navigating schools and local authorities. Another episode full of honest conversations, strong opinions, practical advice and the things that don’t always get talked about. No b******t. Just Face Facts.

    Botox, Bruising & Beyoncé Real Results, Real Women & A Few Wild Theories

    This week on Face Facts, we’re covering a little bit of everything. Does Arnica actually help with bruising, or is pineapple extract the secret? Does Botox really relieve headaches? And why do none of our patients want to go to work looking like they’ve suddenly got a completely different head? We’re also talking about something that should be a complete no-brainer, photoshopping your clients’ before and afters. What happens when the results you’re showing online aren’t actually real? Then things get a little more personal as Gem shares a very funny story about standing up to an inappropriate man on a night out… which, bizarrely, ended with her meeting her husband. We’re talking about the reality of being a woman, the situations women find themselves in, and why sometimes you have to stand up for yourself. And finally… the Beyoncé Illuminati theory. Because somehow, naturally, we ended up there. Aesthetics, women, awkward situations, patient expectations, questionable internet theories and a lot of opinions. Real Results. Real Women. A Few Wild Theories. Add us on socials: Insta: @facefacts_podcast TikTok: @face.facts.podcas Facebook: @Facefacts Podcast Produced by Holly Rushton

    Complications, Copycats & Celebrity Injectors The Good, The Bad & The Unexpected

    This week on Face Facts, we're getting into the reality of aesthetics from every angle. We're talking complications in the clinic, what the recovery process can actually be like and the nerves that come with having your very first treatment. We get into the infamous “sausage lips”, what happens when filler doesn't quite go to plan and why knowing what is normal during the healing process is so important. We're also asking whether the clinic everyone and their mum, including celebrities, seems to be going to is actually the best clinic for you. Does a celebrity client list automatically mean you're in safe hands? Then things get a little more personal... What would you do if your husband didn't want you to have lip filler, but you really wanted it? Would you respect his opinion, or get the treatment anyway and keep quiet? And because apparently we haven't caused enough controversy, we're talking about copycats, being inspired versus being completely copied, and whether imitation really is the sincerest form of flattery. Plus, we're revealing our own dream treatments. From first-time nerves to complications, relationship dilemmas, celebrity clinics and sausage lips, this episode is another honest conversation about the things people don't always say out loud.

    Female Rage, Hormones & The Things Women Don’t Talk About

    This week on Face Facts, we’re going down a very honest (and slightly chaotic) rabbit hole. From hormones and ovulation to female rage, perimenopause and the moments where you genuinely question whether you’re in control of your own emotions… We’re talking about the things women experience but don’t always feel comfortable admitting. We dive into body dysmorphia, mental health, disordered eating, the pressure to look a certain way and the unrealistic standards women are constantly expected to meet. We also discuss celebrity culture, Katie Price, the public judgement women face, and why everyone suddenly becomes an expert when a woman changes her appearance. But it’s not all serious… We’re getting into everything from Soho Farmhouse, quitting alcohol, our biggest icks, biohacking, calories on menus, hair loss, our current favourite makeup products and the everyday things that make us feel like ourselves again. And of course… Gem proves once again why she has earned the title of queen of swearing. Because Face Facts isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about the conversations happening in real life, the ones we have with our friends, the ones we think about at 2am and the ones people are sometimes too scared to say out loud. No filters. No pretending. Just honest conversations about life, women, ageing and everything in between.

    Complications, Controversy & Cosmetic Tourism - What’s Really Going Wrong?

    BBLs. Botox. Bad injectors. And the conversations the aesthetics industry keeps trying to avoid. This week on Face Facts, we’re talking BBLs with dermal filler, the rise of “celebrity injectors”, surgery abroad, regulations, unrealistic expectations and the uncomfortable truths about the aesthetics industry. From the Lip King to the growing trend of liquid BBLs, we’re asking where the line is between innovation and irresponsibility. We get into why regulation can’t come soon enough, what happens when practitioners inject beyond their level of competence, and why so many complications could be prevented with better education, ethics and accountability. We’re also talking cosmetic surgery abroad, whether the horror stories tell the full picture, the reality of managing patient expectations, blacklisting patients, and why sometimes saying “no” is the best thing a practitioner can do. Oh… and yes, we’re talking about Kris Jenner too. This isn’t about scaremongering or shaming people for the choices they make. It’s about having the conversations the industry often whispers about instead of saying out loud. Because aesthetics shouldn’t be about chasing trends. It should be about putting patients first. If you’ve ever wondered what’s really going on behind the perfectly curated before-and-afters, this episode is for you.

    Fat Jabs, Kelly Osbourne & Keyboard Warriors - Too Fat. Too Thin. Never Right.

    Too Fat. Too Thin. Never Right. This week on Face Facts, we’re talking fat jabs, Sharon and Kelly Osbourne, body dysmorphia, online abuse and why everyone suddenly becomes an expert whenever a woman changes her appearance. We discuss the reality of weight loss injections, Faye’s personal experience using them, the impact they can have on the face, and the impossible standards women are expected to meet. Too big. Too small. Too old. Too young. Too much. Not enough. It seems no matter what women do, somebody has an opinion. From celebrity transformations to comment section cruelty, we’re unpacking the judgement, double standards and unrealistic expectations women face every single day. Because when it comes to women’s bodies, everyone seems to have an opinion. And somehow, we’re still getting it wrong.

    Things We Never Thought We'd Talk About Publicly - We Need to Talk About Designer Vaginas, Boob Jobs & Bonnie Blue

    Welcome to the very first episode of Face Facts. And we’re starting exactly where you’d expect… With vaginal rejuvenation, a boob job and Bonnie Blue. In this episode, Faye shares her experience of vaginal rejuvenation treatment, Gem talks about her boob job, and somehow we end up discussing one of the internet’s most controversial women. We chat honestly about confidence, ageing, body image, the things women are told they should and shouldn’t do, and why everyone suddenly seems to have an opinion on what other people choose to do with their own bodies. Nothing is off limits, very little is filtered, and we definitely don’t solve any of society’s problems. But we do have a laugh trying. Welcome to Face Facts.
