Say hello to Sally Gilder, founder of Fig Aesthetics Fig Aesthetics . She shares our passion for building people’s confidence and does this by working wonders on their skin health. Our co-founder Emma has first-hand experience of this and was blown away by the difference the micro-needling and chemical peels made to her skin.
As well from being an expert in her field, Sally is warm, easy to chat to and incredibly professional, so you really are in safe hands.
What’s your one line elevator pitch?
To create confidence in everyone, so that they can feel good in their own skin.
Why are you passionate about what you do?
I love building relationships with my patients, seeing their transformations, and watching their confidence grow. As a result, their skin becomes healthier and stronger through better ongoing care.
Who is your ideal customer?
Anyone who wants to improve their skin health or has a concern they’d like to address — whether it’s pigmentation, ageing, acne, texture — really, anyone.
What can Dapper clients expect in a discovery call with you?
They’ll get more clarity on their current skincare routine. If they need advice on how to address specific concerns, I can suggest active ingredients or brands to consider — whether it’s something they can buy from Clicks or Dis-Chem (or the equivalent where they are based), or from a professional practice, like Fig Aesthetics.
Tell us a bit about your career to date?
With 20 years of experience in the industry, I’ve worked as a therapist, been an employee, a rep for a medical cosmeceutical company, and I now own Fig Aesthetics.
I absolutely love the industry — the people, the products, the technology, the innovation. I’ve witnessed the advancements over the years in the aesthetic industry— cutting-edge innovations with medical-grade standards. My best thing to do is educate my patients on these treatments and skincare solutions, empowering them to achieve results and optimum skin health.
What brings you joy/ energises you?
I love anything outdoors from mountain trails to the surf. Socialising with friends while working out. And a good coffee!
What do you enjoy about collaborating with Dapper?
They are an amazing team to partner with, and I really enjoy meeting new people from the Dapper network and having the opportunity to guide them to get the best out of their skins.
Tell us something not many people know about you?
I’m a coffee snob!
