The businesses of Bayside have a beautiful way of emerging from a deeply personal moment of clarity, and Gemma from @glowstudio_aesthetics is a perfect example of turning professional expertise into something far more meaningful. With 15 years of nursing experience behind her and a growing frustration with overdone, unnatural cosmetic work, Gemma created the kind of clinic she wished had always existed — one built entirely on trust, integrity, and the art of less being more.
How long have you been in business?
Since May 2025
What inspired you to start your business?
This is something I had wanted to do for years. After noticing a surge in overdone cosmetic work, I visited a clinic myself with concerns about my frown line—and was so impressed with the natural-looking results. With over 15 years of experience as a nurse, I saw a growing shift toward ‘undetectable injectables’. People are no longer looking for dramatic changes—they want to feel refreshed, not transformed. And with advancements in skin technology, it’s no longer just about wrinkle reduction—it’s also about full skin rejuvenation, including natural collagen stimulation which I also specialise in.
What is the magic that sets your business apart?
With over 15 years of nursing experience, I bring a clinical, considered approach to every treatment. I’m not here to sell or upsell—I’m here to listen. As a solo operator, I offer a personalised experience without the pressure of corporate targets or hard sales. I specialise in just four carefully selected services so I can focus on delivering exceptional results in the areas I know best. It’s all about trust, integrity, and making clients feel heard, supported, and confident in their choices.
What does community mean to you?
Since setting up my business locally, I’ve truly come to appreciate just how powerful community support is. Word of mouth is everything—and it’s not just about growing a business, it’s about building genuine relationships.
