What is a skin consultation treatment like?

Getting to know you and your skin

Your practitioner will start the consultation by asking you about your medical history, lifestyle and experience of skincare in the past. They’ll also ask you what aspects of your skin’s appearance and texture you’d like to improve.

Skin examination

You’ll then lie back on our couch while your practitioner examines your skin. They’ll assess its type and various factors such as elasticity, hydration, texture and tone.

Recommendations

Armed with this detailed understanding of your skin, your practitioner will recommend a course of treatment and/or skin care products to address any concerns you have and enhance the overall health and appearance of your skin. There is no obligation to go ahead with any of the recommendations.

Skin consultations – your questions answered

What happens during a skin consultation?

Firstly, your practitioner will discuss your medical history and how you would like to improve the condition of your skin.

Your practitioner will then analyse and assess your skin.

Based upon this analysis, and your desired outcomes, your practitioner will recommend a course of treatment to improve the health and appearance of your skin.

What treatments will be recommended?

Every patient is different, so what we recommend will depend on the results you’re looking for and your practitioner’s assessment of your skin. Each patient is recommended a bespoke skincare regime for their personal needs. This might include prescription skin care products, chemical peels, homecare plans and anti-ageing treatments.

There is no obligation to go ahead with any of the recommended treatments. If you do wish to go ahead, treatments can usually be carried out in the same appointment and skin care products purchased at the clinic.

How long will the appointment take?

The skin consultation will take approximately 20 minutes. If you choose to go ahead with any treatments straight away, the appointment will take longer.

How quickly will your skin improve?

Skincare is a long-term investment, so we don’t promise overnight results. However, it is one of the best investments you’ll ever make.

What if skin care products haven't worked in the past?

The world of skin care products is a huge and confusing one (and expensive!). There are so many treatments and products out there – choosing the right combination for your skin can be very difficult without professional advice.

Our expert analysis of your skin will help us identify the best combination of products to suit your needs. This may include medical-grade products provided on prescription, which can achieve far better results than shop-bought treatments.

At what age should I have a skin consultation?

A professional skin consultation is important at any age. Keeping your skin healthy when you’re young will help to delay the signs of ageing in later life. And, if you are already experiencing ageing skin, then an expertly guided skincare regime can reduce the signs of ageing and improve the overall quality of your skin.
