Meet Karen

ORA is unique in its approach to aesthetics. Taking a truly holistic, healthy and graceful approach to helping our clients love the skin they are in through every stage.

We understand that looking and feeling our best takes consistency and commitment and we searched high and low for the perfect addition to our team to help our clients achieve just this. Our criteria was to find someone as passionate about achieving beautiful skin as each of our doctors is, someone who could seamlessly blend aesthetic skill with holistic relaxation so that clients left nourished but informed.

Karen fulfilled this brief and more. She joined our team as lead aesthetician and laser therapist in April and has been the most incredible addition to our small but mighty team. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience having spent many years as the lead aesthetician in a high profile dermatology clinic in London.

Karen is here to help our clients achieve essential consistency with their skin routines, to maintain their glow between doctor appointments and her skill has seen her quickly becoming one of Dublin’s best kept skin secrets.

Our laser suite reopens in September after a summer siesta and Karen will be your go-to expert to zap redness and capillaries, refine texture and pores with the power of our ExcelV+, Genesis and Byonik lasers. We will be reaching out to current laser clients this month to secure their autumn/winter slots, thereafter appointments for laser will go on general release

Karen’s diary is currently open for corrective peel, byonik and ORA facial appointments: www.oraskinclinic.ie

(Not a drill- She books up very fast but once you meet her, you will know why!)

Acids are key to healthy glowing skin but choosing the right acid can be tricky.

There are two broad categories: AHA’s & BHA’s and he right category for you will depend on your skin type.

For oily or blemish prone skin, choose a BHA. This will be labelled as “salicylic acid” in the ingredients list.

For Normal- dehydrated skin choose an AHA. If you are not sensitive, glycolic is a great AHA. If you are redness or sensitivity prone then consider lactic acid as your AHA of choice.

You will find cleanser, toner and serum formulations with theee ingredients. Regardless of the form you choose, we don’t recommend using your acids more than 3/week unless you are targeting active acne.

For an extra exfoliative treat, you can layer acid formulations. One of our favourite routines includes:
Acid cleanser followed by acid serum twice per week.

Top product choices:
Normal - dehydrated: skinceuticals glycolic cleanser and glycolic 10 renewal serum

Normal - sensitive: alumier aha renewal

Normal - oily: skinceuticals blemish & age cleanser

Oily/acne: Obagi clenziderm & Obagi pore therapy

Ps: 15% off all products on our website for the months of August www.oraskinclinic.ie

Do you need facial oils, serums or both?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Serums are generally made of smaller molecules and pe*****te deeper within the skin allowing their potent active ingredients to reach the living cell layers. Serums should be applied early on in your skin routine. My favourite serum is hydrating B5⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In contrast, oils act on the upper layer of the skin and can create a moisture rich barrier. They should be applied last (before SPF) in your routine. Don’t forget that some oils are notorious pore-cloggers. If your skin is congestion prone, avoid mineral oil, coconut and argan oils. Proceed cautiously but jojoba oil can be a good oil option for oily skin types.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am currently trying out face oil. I will report back 😉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s your favourite oil?

We have waited a very very long time to find an aesthetic doctor as talented as Dr Emma. In fact, Dr Edel has been on the search for a passionate, kind, skilled and experienced colleague over 16 months and it has taken until now for us to say that we have found our perfect fit. Dr Emma brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to ORA. She qualified as a medical doctor in 2014 and her aesthetic training has since taken her as far afield as Australia. During her time in Australia she became known for achieving subtle, refreshed results for her patients. By creatively incorporating anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, effective prescription skincare and advanced in-clinic techniques, she helps patients achieve the best and most natural results which makes her a very valuable part of the ORA team. Dr Emma’s continues to advance her training and alongside Dr Edel she is currently undertaking the renowned MSc in Skin Ageing and Aesthetic Medicine at the University of Manchester.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are absolutely thrilled to have her on board and we know that you will love her just as much as we do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Hello 👋 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A little message to say that though our doors are closed we are very much open behind the scenes. We are busy with virtual consultations, product orders and making plans for reopening as soon as possible. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As I am sure many of you have, I too have been struck by worry and doubt over the past few months. Wondering whether a dream really is enough and if I can actually do it all. Maybe we never get an answer to these questions and that diving in is always with an element of self doubt and trepidation. I have to say though that all of your support and the incredible emails and messages that I have received have blown me away. It seemed as though each message had a serendipitous way of landing in front of me every time I had to make a big decision about my little business over the past few months. For this I will be eternally grateful and I honestly cannot wait to see you all again and tell you about all that’s been going on BTS! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fingers crossed it’s not too long but until then stay safe, be kind to yourself and know that this too will pass. If in the meantime, I can be of any help with skin care advice or tackling a skin or aesthetic problem please do reach out hello@oraskinclinic.ie⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For those on my mailing list, a little self-care surprise is on its way to you today.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
