SIA
A.k.a - Skin Goddess
Our founder launched Beautyologist 20 years ago via a mobile business using her massage table. Her small self employed business then led her to lease a small space to then lease an even bigger one and launch Beautyologist in Balaclava, a 5 treatment room clinic.

Dip Therapeutic Massage, Dip Aromatherapy, Beauty Therapist and Final year of Dip Dermal Cosmetic Science.
Something Sia wishes she knew earlier in life:
The difference between all sun protection for example when you are outside versus when you are indoors.
Furthermore the importance of understanding what you are using on your skin, just because a product says 20% Vitamin C, does not mean that 20% penetrates your skin to create the change you require. Many promises and false hopes. You need to trust a professional and let them take responsibility for their recommendations and your results. We are educated professionals who not only study the ingredients but also delivery systems of those ingredients into the skin. This is where the magic of skincare is.
Her favourite treatment and why:
“The treatment that gives my clients what they need is my favourite”
“With my skin, I LOVE Enzyme Lymphatic, followed by genesis and then Skin Needling. Why? Firstly Lymphatic enzymes will give my skin a kick start and get the blood flowing and flushing. Genesis will target the collagen and elastin, tightening and strengthening the skin. Targets aging.
Finally Skin Needling will super charge the anti-aging process after genesis however it will also target pigmentation, pores and scarring. This is my favorite trifecta every month”.

A.k.a Angel Hands
Our Colombian beauty queen has a long history in laser therapies and skin perfecting. Raquel loves deep diving into skins which require brightening and pigmentation support.

Her favorite treatment and why:
“Lymphatic Enzyme Therapy and Dermafrac. Every skin treatment should start with enzyme therapy. We add a compression therapy mask from your decolletage up incorporating your lymph nodes found in your underarms right up to your neck and face. The results are incredible!
