Acne
Characterised by visible blackheads, whiteheads, redness and cysts, acne can occur at any age and can be unsightly and distressing for its sufferers.
Our Treatments
Acne Scars
Acne scars are caused when nodules or cysts burst, damaging the surrounding skin, and can also be caused by squeezing or picking your spots. This results in irregularities in the skin’s surface.
Our Treatments
Age Spots and Liver Spots
Age spots, also known as liver spots, are small dark patches which occur in sun-exposed areas of the skin.
Our Treatments
Ageing Neck
Sagging and crepey skin as well as wrinkles are just some of the tells of an ageing neck. These are caused by a decrease in collagen levels, which steadily starts declining from around the age of thirty.
Our Treatments
Crow’s Feet & Under Eye Wrinkles
The thin skin around our eyes is particularly prone to wrinkling, and crow’s feet (also known as laughter lines) and under eye wrinkles are a common sign of ageing.
Our Treatments
Excess Hair
Excess hair can be caused by genetic or hormonal factors, and can be embarrassing and inconvenient when it’s unwanted.
Our Treatments
Excess Fat
A person may accumulate excess fat anywhere on their body, but certain areas are notoriously difficult to shed fat from. The hips, inner thighs, lower belly, armpits, chin and face can all be tricky areas for fat loss.
Our Treatments
Facial Fat
A person may accumulate excess fat anywhere on their body, but facial fat may be genetic and is notoriously difficult to reach through diet and exercise.
Our Treatments
Frown Lines
Frown lines, or forehead lines, occur as a result of skin thinning, sun damage and repetitive expressions over the years. They can be exacerbated by lifestyle choices, but are a natural consequence of ageing.
Our Treatments
Hyperpigmentation, Sun Damage and Spots
Uneven pigmentation (colouring) of the skin occurs when melanin production is stimulated in the cells, often as a result of sun damage or hormonal changes.
Our Treatments
Large Pores
Genetics and oily skin can both cause enlarged pores. Age-related loss of elasticity in the skin that supports our pores is another common culprit.
Our Treatments
Low immune function
If you often fall ill or catch infections, it may be a sign that your immune system is in need of a boost.
Our Treatments
Sagging Skin
Collagen is our skin’s key protein and is vital to maintain its structure. Our collagen levels steadily decline from around the age of thirty, leading to loss of firmness, sagging skin and wrinkles.
Our Treatments
Scars
Scars occur as a result of trauma to the skin, and are formed when the skin produces an excess of collagen to heal a wound. They generally start off being red or purple in colour, then fade to a pale shade over time.
Our Treatments
Stretch Marks
Stretch marks occur when fibres in the dermis break down, revealing the blood vessels beneath the skin. This happens when the skin is over-stretched; for example during rapid weight gain, pregnancy, or growth.
Our Treatments
Thin Lips
Reduced lip volume is a common sign of ageing, caused by decreased collagen and skin thinning.
Our Treatments
Thread/Spider Veins
Thread veins are visible blood vessels beneath the skin which branch out, hence their alternative name, spider veins. Their visibility is caused due to thinning in the skin and subcutaneous tissue as we age.
Our Treatments
Tired/Dull Skin
Inadequate sleep, dehydration, pollution, stress and lifestyle factors such as alcohol intake can all lead to dull, tired-looking skin which has lost its lustre.
Our Treatments
Under Eye Bags/Circles
Periorbital hyperpigmentation, or under eye circles, can be caused by prominent veins (which become more visible as the skin thins due to age), skin laxity, a structural loss of subcutaneous fat, or extra melanin in the skin.
Our Treatments
Vaginal Laxity
Decreased estrogen levels after menopause leads to thinning of the vaginal walls, vaginal dryness and shortening and tightening of the vaginal canal, which can make intercourse painful.
Our Treatments
Wrinkles
Fine lines and wrinkles are the most common age-related concern, and are caused by decreased collagen and elasticity, repetitive facial factors, sun damage and lifestyle factors such as smoking and drinking.
