Sensitive skin

There can be many reasons why your skin is sensitive – the weather, certain foods or skin care ingredients. Whatever the symptoms, Rachel will discuss them all during your consultation, addressing any potential causes and give you her expert advice. It can take time but your skin is in the best hands!

Rosacea or suspected Rosacea

Rosacea is a diagnosed inflammatory condition characterized by cycles of flare-ups and remissions, triggered by various internal and external factors such as spicy food, alcohol, sun and extreme weather.

Eventhough as a non-medic it is not Rachel’s place to diagnose rosacea, she is well placed to support you and your skin in a holistic and functional manner. Rosacea cannot be cured, however, corneotherapy and rosacea are the perfect match and Rachel can help you to manage your symptoms and feel better about your skin.

Technology such as the Neurotris Microcurrent has the ability to lift, tone and sculpt along with Celluma LED - both proven to benefit the skin as we age. Microneedling is also very effective at treating the signs of ageing.

Sun damage and Pigmentation

Photoaging refers to any premature ageing symptoms caused by UV. Sun damage can show itself as pigmentation as well as fine lines, wrinkles, loss of volume, skin lesions and broken capillaries.

Pigmentation can be caused by many things other than UV exposure, for example hormones (melasma), medication, HRT and post acne scars.  It is during Consultation Rachel will discuss the symptoms and address possible causes and give you her advice as to how you can proceed. Treating pigmentation can take time but with the right homecare and in-clinic treatments you can take pro-active steps together.

Acne

Acne, breakouts and spots can affect anyone at any age and can be caused by many factors such as hormones, a poor diet, poor skin health and medication.

Treatments can be very affective alongside good homecare and a holistic approach to skin health from the inside as well as the outside.
