Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Skin treatments work amazingly well alongside injectable treatments for this concern. Consistent at home skin care routines including retinol combined with collagen stimulating in- clinic treatments can help skin look smoother and revitalised helping to prolong the results of injectable anti-wrinkle treatments. 

Pigmentation and
Sun damage

Hyperpigmentation on the face is where skin develops darker patches due to excess melanin production. Melasma, age spots, freckles and uneven skin tone are common pigmentation concerns. These can be caused by sun exposure, post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), hormonal changes or genetics. Management requires consistency over time and includes a combination of sun protection, certain skincare ingredients and products like vitamin C and professional treatments like chemical peels.

Acne / Breakouts

Acne and breakouts are usually caused by a mix of excess oil, clogged pores, inflammation, hormones and sometimes the wrong skincare. At home we can manage mild acne with simple steps like using an appropriate skin cleanser, introducing salicyclic acid and avoiding heavy or comedogenic products. In clinic, we can go further with targeted treatments such as chemical peels. A full skin consultation can determine a personalised plan to calm inflammation, clear congestion and prevent future breakouts. 

Skin Texture and
Enlarged Pores

Roughness, scarring, unevenness and enlarged visible pores are common complaints that can be improved with the right routine and treatments. Consistent exfoliation and good hydration can make the skin look more refined. In clinic treatments like chemical peels, microneedling and skin boosters can stimulate collagen production which tightens the appearance of pores and create a smoother more even surface. Combine these with at home ingredients such as retinol and AHA’s/BHA’s to help keep pores clear and skin looking noticeably more refined. 

Dryness and Dehydration

As we age our skin produces less sebum, which can lead to dryness. The most common skin complaint among women around the time of the menopause is dry skin as estrogen is required for your skin’s natural hydration mechanisms. Environmental factors such as cold or dry weather, central heating, washing habits, harsh products and underlying skin conditions are other causes of dehydrated skin. Adopting gentle non foaming cleansers, and appropriate occlusive moisturisers with ingredients such as glycerin in combination with injectable skin boosters can greatly improve the appearance and feel of dry skin.

Redness and sensitivity

Rosacea, reactive skin and compromised skin barriers are complicated conditions that can worsen as we age. Rosacea appears to be more common in women particularly during the menopause. Symptoms usually arise after the age of 30. Lifestyle factors can trigger symptoms such as sun exposure, stress, alcohol consumption and hormonal changes. Treatment of rosacea varies from person to person but focuses on relieving or reducing symptoms and preventing them from getting worse. A full skin consultation and medical history is required to determine the best treatment options. A referral to a dermatologist may be required.
