I am a skilled Advanced Skin Specialist and Level 5 Electrologist in Advanced Cosmetic Procedures.
Before I even began my training I knew I wanted specialise in advanced skin treatments such as Electrolysis which I have now trained in up to the highest possible degree equivalent level, I specialise in this and spend 95% of my time removing skin blemishes.
I completed levels 2, 3, 4 as a qualified Advanced Therapist then did my Level 5 in Advanced Electrolysis Blemish Removal. I have extensive qualifications in many skin treatments, skincare brands and technologies and clients travel to me from allover the UK and abroad.
However, it is my constant passion, education and research that has made me the skin specialist I am today, alot of that is unlearning what was previously taught.
My knowledge is knowing not what to do and delivering life changing skin transformations for any concern.
I invest constantly in education training with world leaders in their fields and refining my skills enabling me to get life changing results for you.
I understand the skin, corneotherapy, safe and effective treatments, techniques and technology i'm use only the best brands available to get results.
No, i'm not a Dr and any infromation provided by me should not be taken as medical advice. I regularly advise clients go get things checked. I get shown a lot of body parts completely unrelated to actual treatments as clients recognise I likely have a bit of knowledge to point them in the right direction.
I don't offer any beauty treatments, I stick to what i'm good at.

Treatments ...
Please drop me a message or fill out any of the forms on this website and I will advise you based on your specific skin concerns.
No, skin treatments can help tighten, tone, create new Collagen and Elastin and help reduce future ageing.
The reality is that the only way to remove an excess of skin is facelift surgery. No machine, treatment or skincare can remove excess skin.
Treatments such as HIFU and Morpheus use high temperatures to melt the fat pads (SMAS) of the face. There is evidence of skin issues caused by these treatments when used incorrectly, causing an accelerated ageing appearance.
Why Ultrasound and heat based treatments are risky:
We need the fat in our skin and cheeks to make us appear youthful, this is why our face starts to sag and we get jowls as we age the fat pad and structure of the face is lost with age.
For those wanting non -surgical treatments and skincare can reduce the signs of ageing.
Yes, however your skin must be suitable and if I think an alternative would be more effective I will advise.
I will not carry out any treatment unless I believe it is the right one and safe for you. Sadly our industry is filled with therapists and beauty salons who do not understand skin and will carry out what the client wants. I am a knowledgable and ethical skin professional, my clients like that I don't pull any punches. If I do not think a treatment is right for you - you are not having it!
No. It is critical to understand fillers and toxins are not antiageing treatments. Effective skincare products and in clinic skin treatments are necessary for antiageing.
Without healthy skin you will not get the best results from fillers and toxins.
I believe only medics should perform these procedures.
No, I hate it with a passion! I am a Corneotherapist's who works by repairing and maintaining the skin barrier.
Why is dermaplaning bad? It's harmful to the skin destroying the skin barrier and can lead to skin problems.
Microdermabrasion- this is mechanical exfoliation (metal textured disks/abrasives blasts away your skin barrier.
No, skin treatments can help tighten, tone, create new Collagen and Elastin and help reduce future ageing. The most effective way to impove this is eye sagging surgery (Bhlepharoplasty).
Eye sagging causes:
As we age we lose collagen and Elastin these are responsible for the structure and elasticity of our skin, as these are depleting the tissue begins to sag. In the case of excessive bulging under eyes top the top of the cheek these may be Malar bags or Festoons. Essentially the under eye area herniates allowing the tissues to bulge out.
Non surgical eye treatment:
For those not looking to go under the knife non surgical Eye treatment and skincare can reduce the signs of ageing.
In clinic eye treatments: Our Mesotherapy Eye treatment effectively improves the eye area including Crows feet, fine lines, crepey skin, dark circles and dehyrated skin. A course of 3 treatments is recommended with maintainance treatments.
Eye Creams: I can prescribe pHformula Eye creams are formulated to improve your eye concerns.
Buying skincare...
Yes!
