Your Schedule Is Busy — Your Self-Care Should Still Fit

Between work, family, meetings, practices and everything else competing for our attention, taking care of ourselves is often the first thing pushed to the bottom of the list. We hear it all the time at Esteem Aesthetics: “I’ve been meaning to make an appointment, but I can’t get away during the day.”

That is exactly why we created Esteem After Hours: extended evening and Saturday appointments designed especially for busy professionals and anyone who needs more flexibility.

Our After Hours schedule includes appointments on Thursdays until 7 p.m. and select Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Whether you are coming straight from the office or finally have a free Saturday morning, you can receive the same personalized care and elevated experience Esteem is known for—at a time that works better for you.

Meet Kimberly Bolin, APRN, MSN, FNP-C

We are excited to welcome Kimberly Bolin to the Esteem team. Kimberly is a board certified nurse practitioner and experienced aesthetic injector who previously practiced at Studio Medical Aesthetics in Georgetown. Now, she is bringing her passion for aesthetics back home to London.

Kimberly will work alongside Esteem owner and licensed aesthetician Shonda Durham during After Hours. Together, they will offer a thoughtful, comprehensive approach to healthy aging, combining advanced skin treatments with injectable services when appropriate.

After Hours appointments may include Botox or Dysport, dermal filler, laser treatments, microneedling, corrective facials, skincare consultations and personalized treatment planning.

Kimberly shares our belief that aesthetic care should enhance your natural beauty, not change what makes you look like you. Every treatment begins with listening, education and a plan designed around your individual goals. Our goal is never perfection. It is helping you look refreshed, feel confident and age well through every season of life.

October Is the Time to Repair and Prepare

Summer may be over, but it often leaves its receipts on our skin.

By October, many people begin noticing more visible sunspots, uneven tone, dryness, rough texture and fine lines. Even when we cannot immediately see all the damage, months of sun exposure can contribute to collagen breakdown beneath the surface.

Fall is an ideal time to begin correcting that damage. With less intense sun exposure and cooler temperatures, treatments such as Ultra Laser, IPL, microneedling, chemical peels and corrective facials can help improve tone, texture, pigmentation and overall skin quality.

October is also the time to begin preparing for holiday events. The best results are rarely created by waiting until the week before a party, family gathering or holiday photo. Many treatments need time to work, and some deliver their most beautiful results gradually.

Biostimulators such as Sculptra and Radiesse encourage collagen production over time. Dermal filler may need a few weeks to settle. Laser treatments and chemical peels should be scheduled early enough to allow for healing and continued improvement. Even a new home-care routine needs consistency before you begin seeing meaningful changes.

When you start in October, we can create a personalized treatment plan that considers your goals, your schedule and the events that matter most to you. Instead of guessing which treatment to book, you will leave with a clear sequence, recommended timing and a long-term maintenance plan.
