The modality
What this discipline actually covers.
Skin treatments work on the scaffold beneath the surface. Texture, pore size, dullness and shallow scarring are all downstream of the collagen network in the dermis, which is why creams improve the top layer of the picture and in-clinic work is needed to change the rest of it.
Our programme runs from medical facials and dermaplaning, which maintain and brighten, through to microneedling and resurfacing, which remodel. Most people do best on a course of three or four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, judged at three to six months, on top of a home routine we will help you simplify.
We photograph in standardised lighting at every visit, because month-to-month change in skin is slow enough that memory is an unreliable witness in both directions.

What it addresses
Start from the concern, not the product.
These are the things people come in about that this discipline is a reasonable answer to. Each one explains the mechanism before it names a treatment.
- Fine Lines & WrinklesThe first lines to appear are usually the ones you make on purpose. Softening them is a question of movement, not erasure.
- Skin Texture & ScarringEnlarged pores, roughness and the shallow craters left by acne are all scaffold problems, and the scaffold sits below where any cream can reach.
- Pigmentation & Uneven ToneSun spots, melasma and post-acne marks look alike and behave nothing alike. Treating the wrong one can leave you worse off than before.
