Introducing medical acupuncture, designed to help you move better, feel stronger, and live with less pain ✨

Launching week commencing 17th November, we’re introducing medical acupuncture with Dr Ru, a treatment that combines modern medical understanding with a holistic approach to pain management.

Used alongside PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, it offers an evidence-based, regenerative solution for both chronic and acute joint or muscle pain.

Whether you’re living with long-term discomfort, recovering from an injury, or simply looking for a natural, non-surgical alternative to pain relief, these treatments work with your body’s own healing response to restore comfort, mobility and balance.

We all know the importance of SPF when it comes to protecting our skin from ageing, but there’s another culprit that quietly does just as much damage, and it’s one many people overlook every single day.

Sugar.

A diet high in sugar doesn’t just affect your waistline, it affects your skin’s architecture. When sugar binds to proteins in your body, it forms something called advanced glycation end products (AGEs). These break down collagen and elastin, the very fibres that keep your skin firm, bouncy and youthful. The result? Skin that looks dull, tired and loses its structure far sooner than it should.

What’s tricky is that this damage happens slowly and consistently, every single day - far more often than the odd day of sun exposure. So, while sunscreen protects from the outside, managing your sugar intake protects your skin from the inside.

If you’re serious about ageing well, start looking beyond your skincare shelf and think about what’s on your plate too. Healthy skin begins with daily habits.

If you’d like personalised advice on how to support your skin health from every angle - from diet to skincare and clinical treatments - book a skin consultation and we’ll create a plan that truly works for you 🤍

Ever catch yourself wishing your skin looked fresher, smoother, and more radiant, but without changing the way you look?

It’s one of the most common requests we hear in clinic: patients don’t necessarily want to alter their features, but they do want their skin to look healthier, plumper and more youthful day to day.

That’s exactly where Skinvive comes in. Unlike traditional fillers, it’s not about adding volume or reshaping your face.

Instead, it works beneath the surface to improve your skin quality from the inside out, deeply hydrating, smoothing texture, softening fine lines and bringing back that natural glow that’s so hard to achieve with skincare alone.

Think of it as a treatment that makes your skin look like it’s had a full night’s rest, a holiday, and a really great skincare routine, all at once.

Here’s why Skinvive is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about treatments in aesthetics…

A drop of filler in the cheeks can be a fantastic solution for addressing multiple signs of ageing on the face. 💉 With advancements in techniques, even a small amount of filler – often just 1ml or less – can create a subtle yet impactful lift. This gentle enhancement helps soften nose-to-mouth lines, slightly lift drooping jowls, and redefine the natural curve of the cheek for a refreshed, youthful look.

Here are the three main reasons people seek cheek enhancement:

1. Lost Volume Due to Age: With time, we naturally lose collagen and fat pads, leading to a decrease in youthful fullness in the midface. Re-volumising the cheeks with filler can restore that lost shape and help smooth out wrinkles.

2. Pronounced Nasolabial Fold: One of the most common signs of ageing is the deepening of the nasolabial folds, caused by volume loss and skin sagging. Filler in the cheeks helps lift the midface, reducing the appearance of these lines.

3. Balance and Definition: Cheek filler isn’t just for those noticing signs of ageing. Many people seek this treatment for added volume and definition, enhancing their natural bone structure and creating a more sculpted look.

4. Rejuvenating the Under-Eye Area: Filler in the cheeks doesn’t just enhance the midface. By providing subtle lift, it also supports and rejuvenates the under-eye area, reducing the appearance of hollows or dark circles without directly injecting the delicate under-eye skin. This indirect improvement offers a fresh, rested look.

Curious about Emface but wondering what happens after your first session?

It’s a question we hear often, especially from patients trying this treatment for the very first time. When you’re investing in your skin, you want to know how you’ll look and feel afterwards, and whether you’ll need any downtime.

The beauty of Emface is that it’s completely non-invasive and needle-free, so there’s no recovery period to worry about.

Most people leave the clinic with skin that feels tighter and fresher, and are able to get straight back to work, exercise, or social plans the very same day.

Here’s what you can expect after your very first Emface treatment, and how the results continue to build with each session ➡️

Not every treatment that makes the biggest difference is the one you hear about most.

While injectables and facelifts often get all the attention, there are quieter, less talked-about options that can transform your skin just as powerfully, sometimes even more so.

These are the treatments that work behind the scenes to restore balance, strengthen your skin, and create that fresh, glowing look people notice straight away (without ever guessing what you’ve had done).

Here are three of the most underrated treatments we believe deliver the biggest impact 👉🏼

The lift, the definition, the glow, all without needles ✨

This is the result after just 4 sessions of Emface.

By combining radiofrequency (to stimulate collagen and elastin) with HIFES technology (to lift and tone facial muscles), Emface works on both the skin and the underlying structure of the face.

The result? A natural lift through the cheeks and brows, smoother skin, and an overall fresher, more youthful appearance, with zero downtime.
