Understand your skin

Skin Concerns

Most people come to us knowing something has changed, but not always why. Each page explains a common concern in plain terms, and how we approach it.

The right treatment depends on what is driving your concern. These pages are a starting point, and our clinical team takes the time to understand your skin properly before recommending anything. A consultation with Nurse Petta, Nurse Candice, Nurse Meg, or Heather, our Dermal Clinician, is always the first step.

Expression Lines

The lines that form with movement, and over time at rest. Understanding why they appear and what shapes their progression.

Skin Laxity

A gradual reduction in skin firmness that many people first notice in their 30s. More common than most people realise.

Pigmentation

Uneven skin tone and dark spots driven by sun exposure, hormones or inflammation. One of the most common concerns we see.

Menopausal Skin Changes

Perimenopause and menopause bring significant shifts in skin, hair, and facial structure. Often the least discussed, and among the most meaningful.

Jaw Tension

Chronic clenching and grinding that many people aren't fully aware of. Often felt before it's seen, with effects that reach beyond the jaw.

Hair Thinning

A change in hair density or growth rate that develops gradually. Driven by hormones, genetics, stress, and the scalp environment.

Acne & Acne Scarring

Breakouts and the textural changes they can leave behind, triggered by hormones, stress and skincare choices at any age.

Rosacea

Persistent redness and flushing that come and go in flares, often set off by triggers unique to your skin.

Sun Damage

The cumulative effect of UV exposure on tone, texture and firmness. One of the most preventable drivers of visible ageing.

Melasma

Matching patches of pigment linked to hormones and light. It tends to recur, so a gentle, long-term approach matters.

Excessive Sweating

Sweating beyond what the body needs to stay cool. It often starts early in life and is more common than most people realise.

Scarring & Stretch Marks

Marks left as the skin repairs injury or adapts to rapid stretching. How they respond depends on their type and age.
