There is a common misconception that microneedling leaves skin bleeding, raw or unpresentable ❌.

In reality, when it is performed professionally, even when paired with the Uber Pro Peel the skin’s response is controlled, not damaging or dramatic.

Yes, there are times we want to see pinpoint bleeding during treatment, depending on what we are targeting; but it’s short lived and completely normal.

Here is what it really looks like 👇

That post treatment redness you see is actually a sign of effective dermal stimulation.

The Uber Pro Peel then steps in to enhance brightening and cellular turnover, while keeping the skin barrier intact.

Within minutes, redness starts to settle as peptides and humectants calm and rebalance the skin 💧.

Most patients leave the clinic with a fresh, healthy glow and are genuinely surprised by how their skin looks straight away ✨.

The goal is not to cause visible trauma, it’s to trigger a precise healing cascade for long-term collagen renewal 💫

Controlled micro-injury = collagen induction without compromising skin integrity.

🩺 Treatments are personalised to each patient, please book a consultation to assess suitability.

A huge thank you to my lovely patient for allowing me to share part of her skin journey 🙏.

We first met two years ago, when her skin was highly inflamed and breaking out. Through consistency, evidence-based skincare and lifestyle support, she’s achieved longer-term stability; no quick fixes, just patience and medical guidance. A testament to her commitment and consistency ✨.

The photo on the right was taken a few weeks ago, before her first treatment in the next phase of her care, where we are focusing on texture, scarring and post-inflammatory change with The Perfect Peel and medical microneedling (Dermapen 4) with safe intervals between these.

Microneedling and medium-depth peels work by stimulating controlled skin renewal and collagen remodelling to improve skin quality, texture and tone.

Consistency with recommended skincare, nutrition and lifestyle changes remain the foundation for sustained skin health.

Images are of course shared with patient consent. Individual responses vary; outcomes depend on skin type, adherence and ongoing care.

If you’d like to explore evidence-based options to support your skin health, you’re welcome to book a consultation and see how we can work together.

Throwback to CCR London in September! Kept forgetting to take my camera out 🙈, but it was such an insightful first day with hubby. Loved exploring regenerative medicine and treatments; especially Dr. Christie’s informative talk on exosomes for hair regeneration, showing how extracellular vesicles support cellular communication and repair. Fascinating discussions on the ethical and responsible use of AI in aesthetic medicine; catching up with my favourite skincare brands, discovering the latest evidence-based innovations and connecting with colleagues during so many inspiring talks. ✨

IG is full of transformations ✨ - from troublesome skin to clearer, healthier skin. Today, I’m sharing the opposite. I’ve thought over it again and again; do I share or not? What will people think? But in the end, I realised this is part of my skin journey too.

I’m not sharing for sympathy and I know there are far more serious things and atrocities happening around us. But it’s a reminder, not just for myself, but for all of us not to neglect our health - physical, emotional or mental. Please set boundaries when you need to. It’s easy to neglect oneself when there is so much going on; but there is always a cost.

The past few months have been rough. My eczema flare started small a couple of months ago, over the forehead, then the neck, a tiny patch affecting the right eyelid and one morning, I woke up and it had exploded all over my face. That’s why I have been quiet.

This flare has been painful, literally. My skin feels hot, tight and unbearably itchy 🔥. It cracks when I lift my neck. It’s sore around my mouth when eating. Even water burns. It’s easy to forget how intense and relentless eczema can be.

It’s also a reminder of why I do what I do 👩🏻‍⚕️; to help people gain or regain confidence in their skin, improve their skin health and feel seen and understood.

In the past, I was judged, I heard cruel and hurtful comments about my skin. Today, I feel blessed by the love, understanding and support I have received 🙏. I know it’s not pleasant to see, but I’m not ashamed to share this part of my skin journey. It’s okay to have ups and downs as nothing is static.

I’m sharing this because if you’re having a tough time with your skin, you’re not alone 🩵. I see it and I get it. I’d love to hear how you get through it and any little things that help you feel a bit better.

P.S. I’ve slowed things right down, sought professional help and am on prescription treatment (no self-prescribing). ❤️

Hyperpigmentation and melasma are some of the trickiest skin concerns to treat, but also very rewarding when managed well.

I’m so grateful to my wonderful patient for allowing me to share her photos. No filters or edits. She’s been consistently committed to her personalised plan and the results speak for themselves 😊.

In my next post, I’ll be sharing some of the options and key factors that can make a difference in treatment, so stay tuned.

Thank you to my wonderful patient for allowing me to share her skin journey 🙏.

When we see before and after photos, it’s easy to assume the improvements and transformation happened overnight.

But real progress looks different for everyone. It takes time, patience and consistency👌.

I know how much commitment it takes to persist through the tough phases, the purging, the dryness, when all you want is clearer skin. The improvement you see here is a true reflection of her dedication to herself and her skin health 🌟.

There’s so much that can be achieved with a personalised, targeted skincare and treatment plan, along with support, guidance and lifestyle advice. I’m always grateful for the opportunity to support patients who choose to invest in their long term skin goals.

Now that her active acne is much more settled, the next phase would be to focus on refining texture and addressing pitted scarring. Maintenance remains key.

If you’re on a skin journey yourself, ready to commit but feel unsure of where to start, one to one support and structure that goes beyond products can make all the difference. Feel free to get in touch to see how we can work together to support you.

Grateful to my lovely patient for allowing me to share her photos 🙏.

At our first consultation her main concern was redness and irritation, likely triggered by a new skincare product.

We initially focused on calming her skin and supporting the barrier. About six weeks later, she had an unexpected acne flare-up. She was understandably upset. It had been several years since she’d had anything like this.

I’m so grateful for her trust. Started her on a treatment plan and within 10 weeks her skin had improved significantly. We are now working on the next phase targeting post-acne marks and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

This was a real reminder that the skin journey isn’t static. It can shift, change and needs ongoing care. Trust, consistency and the right support help get the best results.

If you’re struggling with acne or need help with your skin, I’d love to support you.

This is a before and after from one of my lovely patients whom I’ve been consulting with online. When we first met, she had already tried multiple over the counter skin care products and was feeling frustrated by the lack of improvement. With so much conflicting information online; the countless product claims, influencers, and social media trends, she felt confused and overwhelmed.

The first and most important step was education; understanding what was going on with her skin, identifying what would actually help and exploring all the factors that could be impacting her skin health. We created a personalised plan that she has followed consistently. The results speak for themselves. From inflamed skin and breakouts to calmer, clearer, more radiant and youthful looking skin 🌺.

At the start, I find that many patients are eager to jump into treatments and in clinic interventions. These can certainly enhance results and offer deeper skin benefits, but daily skincare is essential and non-negotiable 🧴. A combination approach works best 🌟.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed and frustrated with your skincare routine or not seeing improvements, I’d love to help you take the guesswork out of it ❔DM or book a consultation using the link in the bio to start your own personalised skin journey!

Prepping for one of my favourite treatments this afternoon!

Microneedling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy), is a minimally invasive treatment that addresses a wide range of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne, acne scars, pigmentation, photo damage, and rosacea.

It works by stimulating the skin’s natural healing and repair process. By creating controlled micro-trauma, we trigger collagen production amongst other things, and when paired with the right active ingredients, it can target specific skin concerns.

The best part? No anaesthetic is required! While some people describe the sensation as a bit “bitey,” most of my patients find it much more comfortable than they expected.

Depending on your skin concern, I recommend 4-6 sessions spaced 3-6 weeks apart to see the benefits. Maintenance treatments are also recommended to help maintain and build on those results over time.

If you have any questions about microneedling or how it works, feel free to ask in the comments below ⬇️.

To find out if this treatment is right for you, I’d love to arrange a consultation to discuss your options and advise.

Thank you to my patient for such a lovely testimonial 🙏. This is what it’s all about - helping my patients feel more confident about their skin and to love their skin ❤️.

I completely appreciate the frustration when you want your skin to settle down. She’s summed it up perfectly; it can take time to see improvements. As a rule of thumb give a new skincare product about 12 weeks to see its effect; depending on the actives, it can take less or more.

If you’d like advice and guidance finding skincare that’s suitable for you, I’d love to help you. You can get started by booking an online consultation via the link in my bio 😊. If you’d prefer to be seen in person, please send me a DM.
