Crepey skin
Crepey skin has a delicate, finely wrinkled texture most commonly seen on areas that have experienced long-term sun exposure such as the neck, chest, and arms. It typically arises with age as collagen and elastin diminish, although those with fair or sun-damaged skin may notice it earlier. Treatment focuses on supporting the dermis through regenerative options such as polynucleotides, HArmonyCa, skin boosters and microneedling, alongside consistent use of topical retinoids.
Acne
Acne is a complex inflammatory condition that can manifest at any stage of life, though it's often associated with adolescence. In adulthood, it's particularly common in women and is often influenced by hormonal fluctuations — it may present as blocked pores, inflamed bumps, or deeper cysts. Effective management involves calming inflammation, regulating oil production, and encouraging healthy cell turnover, which can be achieved through topical treatments, chemical peels, and Celluma light therapy.
Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterised by facial redness, flushing, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like breakouts. It commonly affects women between 30 and 50, particularly those with fair skin. Though it's a long-term condition, symptoms can be managed with LED, skincare, prescription topicals, and lifestyle adjustments including diet. For some, micro Botox may help reduce visible redness and flare-ups.
Hyperpigmentation
This common concern involves areas of darkened skin, often triggered by sun exposure, inflammation, or hormonal shifts. It can present as melasma, post-inflammatory marks, or more general unevenness. A gentle but consistent approach that combines brightening ingredients such as Vitamin C, sun protection, and in-clinic treatments including microneedling or resurfacing facials can all help to reduce the condition.
Scarring
Scars are the visible result of the skin's natural healing process following injury, acne, or surgery. Their appearance varies depending on how the body repairs itself — some may be raised (hypertrophic), while others appear indented (atrophic). Treatments such as microneedling and Celluma light therapy help to remodel scar tissue, gradually improving skin texture and tone over time.
Enlarged pores
Often linked to oily skin, ageing, and sun damage, enlarged pores can become more noticeable as collagen production declines. While we can't shrink pores entirely, we can refine their appearance through treatments that tighten surrounding tissue and support skin structure. Micro Botox can provide an effective solution, as well as microneedling, peels and personalised skincare.
Sun spots
Also known as solar lentigines, sun spots are flat, pigmented areas that develop due to prolonged UV exposure. They're most often seen on the face, hands, and chest and, while harmless, can be of aesthetic concern to our patients. Chemical peels, resurfacing facials and targeted skincare can help to reduce their appearance and encourage a more even complexion.
Milia / milk spots
Milia are small, firm white bumps formed when keratin becomes trapped beneath the skin's surface, often around the eyes and cheeks. They are harmless but can be stubborn. They can be gently removed in clinic using CryoPen or lancet extraction, alongside skincare to support healthy cell turnover.
Skin tags
These soft, skin-coloured growths tend to appear in areas where skin rubs together such as the neck, underarms, and eyelids. Completely benign, they're often associated with hormonal changes or insulin resistance. Removal is simple and low-risk, using methods such as CryoPen.
Moles
Moles are clusters of pigment-producing cells (melanocytes). While most are benign, any changes in size, colour, or shape should be checked. For those seeking removal of non-suspicious moles for aesthetic reasons, options such as CryoPen are available, always with careful assessment beforehand.
Warts
Warts are benign growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They often appear as rough, raised bumps and can affect anyone, though they're more common in children and those with reduced immunity. While many warts resolve naturally, treatments such as CryoPen can be used if they persist or cause discomfort.
Cherry angiomas
These small, bright red spots are clusters of dilated blood vessels. They're completely harmless and tend to increase with age. While no treatment is necessary, removal via CryoPen is effective if desired for cosmetic reasons.
