Skin Conditions and Concerns

Acne

Acne is a common skin condition that affects most people at some point, and may cause a lack of confidence. It causes spots, oily skin and sometimes skin that's hot or painful to touch.

Acne Scarring

Once acne has been successfully treated, it can leave behind scars and uneven skin tone. We can suggest the best solution to treat these and return skin to its former condition. 

Age Spots / Sun Spots

Age and sun spots can happen as a result of sun damage and become more prominent as we age. These can be very successfully treated to make them less visible and often completely disappear. 

Blackheads

Also called comedones, these are blocked hair follicles on the skin. The dark colour occurs due to the plug being exposed to the air.

Cheeks

Cheeks give structure to the face. Ageing causes a loss of volume to this area, causing hollowing and sagging. Volume can be subtly added to this area to add definition, lift and tighten.

Décolletage

The décolletage - and neck are often forgotten in our anti-ageing regimes. This can cause wrinkles, thin skin and pigmentation. Vicki can suggest treatments to smooth and tighten.

Eyes

Wrinkles, loose skin and dark circles to the eyes can be treated to smooth, tighten, reduce excess skin and dark circles.

Gummy Smile

A gummy smile - is one that shows an excessive amount of gum when smiling.

Hands

Hands are one of the biggest telltale signs of our age. Treatments to this area can re-hydrate, plump and smooth keeping hands looking young.

Hyperhidrosis - Excessive Sweating

Excessive sweating can be a very distressing condition causing great anxiety and sometimes massively impacting on people's lives. 

Jawline

The jawline area loses its sharp features creating sagging skin and formation of jowls. We can suggest treatments to re-define, lift and tighten.

Jowls

The ageing process means that volume is lost from the face structure, allowing the skin to sag.

Keratosis Pilaris - Chicken Skin

Keratosis Pilaris, often called ‘chicken skin’ is most commonly seen on the backs of arms. We can suggest treatments to treat and enhance the appearance. 

Lips

Some of us naturally have small lips, but the size of our lips also reduces with age. Subtle improvements can make a big difference to the way we feel about them.

Melasma / Chloasma

Dark discoursed patches on the skin. If this occurs during pregnancy it is called Chloasma and often referred to as a ‘mask of pregnancy’. This can happen to anyone but is more predominant in darker skin tones.

Milia - Milk Spots

These are caused by trapped dead skin cells (keratin) clogging the sweat ducts. These are very common, usually around the eyes and nose, but can occur anywhere. They are usually due to reduced exfoliation of the skin, overuse of moisturisers packing the dead skin cells together and not allowing them to slough away.

Mouth to Chin Lines - Frown Lines

Volume loss to the overall face during the normal ageing process along with loss of elasticity can create deeper lines to this area.

Neck

The neck is often forgotten in our anti-ageing regimes. We can suggest treatments to smooth and tighten. 

Nose to Mouth Lines

Volume loss to the overall face during the normal ageing process along with loss of skin elasticity can create deeper lines to the area between your nose and your mouth. 

Pigmentation

Hyper-pigmention is over-production of melanin causing darker patches of skin and is often caused by sun damage. Hypo-pigmentation is a reduction in the production of melanin causing lighter patches. We can assess your pigmentation and suggest future treatment options to address and control.

Poor Skin Texture

Poor skin texture problems can be caused by many factors, environment, sun damage, oily skin, ageing, excessive dead skin to the surface of the skin

Pores

The skin's overall appearance is affected by enlarged pores. There can be many causes; environmental, sun damage, ageing, genetics

Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic condition that can cause symptoms such as flushing, reddening of the face, broken veins, pustules. If left untreated this can worsen. There is no known cure but the symptoms are manageable if treated correctly. We can suggest a number of treatments to help stabilise this condition.

Skin Laxity / General Ageing

As we age, a reduction in collagen and elastin fibres in the skin causes volume loss to the face. We can offer solutions to help reduce skin laxity, encourage collagen and elastic production and give volume back to the face.

Skin Tags

Skin tags are very common and can vary in size. Often caused by friction and found around the collar line on the neck, bra strap areas, under the arms and groin. Removal is a quick and simple procedure.

Spider Naevi

Spider Naevi is a swollen vein beneath the skin surface, usually has a small central spot with red extension radiating from it.

Stretch Marks

Stretch marks can often occur during puberty or fluctuations in weight and often happen during pregnancy. They initially look purple or red but settle and leave a silvery white mark on the skin.

Thread Veins

Thread veins are small dilated veins sitting just below the skin's surface. These are very common and thought to affect more than 50% of the adult population. They can occur anywhere on the body but can cause distress when on the face.

Xanthelasma

Xanthelasma - are yellow flat plaques usually found on the upper or lower eyelids. These are often hereditary but can sometimes be an indication of raised cholesterol levels and are more common in older men and women. Ideally patients with these should have their bloods checked before any cosmetic treatments to remove to ensure they do not require medical treatment. However, these plaques are very easily removed if required.
