Analysing the pigmentation on a woman's face

Stretch Marks

Stretch marks are narrow lines that form on the skin when it stretches or shrinks quickly. This rapid change causes tearing in the dermis, leading to visible streaks on the skin’s surface.

They are extremely common, harmless and occur in both men and women of all ages.

What Do Stretch Marks Look Like?

Early Stretch Marks

  • Pink, red, purple, or dark streaks
  • Slightly raised or itchy
  • Easier to treat at this stage

Older Stretch Marks

  • Pale, white, or silvery lines
  • Slightly sunken or textured
  • More resistant but still treatable

What Causes Stretch Marks?

Stretch marks are caused by tension and rapid stretching of the skin. Common triggers include:

Physical Causes

  • Pregnancy
    Rapid weight gain or loss
  • Growth spurts during puberty
  • Muscle building
  • Genetic predisposition

Biological Factors

  • Reduced collagen and elastin
  • Hormonal changes (cortisol levels can affect skin elasticity)

Décolletage

The décolletage is the area of skin covering the chest which has some of the thinnest and most delicate skin on the body. It is frequently exposed to sun, fragrance, and environmental stress but often receives less skincare attention than the face.

Over time, this can lead to visible signs of ageing, pigmentation and textural changes.

Common Concerns in the Décolletage Area

  • Fine lines and crepey skin
  • Pigmentation and sunspots
  • Redness or broken capillaries
  • Uneven texture
  • Sagging or laxity
  • Chest wrinkles from side-sleeping
  • Dull, dehydrated skin

Acne & Acne Scarring

Acne is a common skin condition caused by the clogging and inflammation of hair follicles due to excess oil, dead skin cells and bacteria.

Acne can affect the face, chest, back, and shoulders and often varies in severity from mild to severe.

There are a number of reasons why acne can develop but it can be due to a number of factors including increased oil production, hormonal changes, bacteria growth, genetics and lifestyle factors.

Acne scars form when inflammation damages the skin’s deeper layers and post inflammatory hyper pigmentation can also develop after the acne heals.

Active Acne Treatment

Volume Loss

Volume loss in our face is a normal part of the ageing process. These changes to our face can affect the shape, contour and overall youthfulness of the face.

Volume loss refers to the gradual reduction of fat, collagen, elastin, and bone structure in the face. 

These components give the face its shape and support. As they diminish, the face can appear less firm, less full and less defined.

Common signs of facial volume loss include:

  • Flattening of the cheeks
  • Sunken eyes
  • Prominent Nasolabial folds
  • Deep marionette lines
  • Thinning of the lips
  • Jowls

Treatments

There are a number of number of treatments than can help improve the symptoms of facial volume loss.

Dermal Fillers

These help by restoring loss volume to the areas of volume loss and can help to soften lines and folds. Dermal fillers provide immediate results with little downtime.

Skin Boosters

Jaw Grinding

Jaw grinding is a common condition where you unconsciously clench or grind your teeth. This often happens at night but can occur through the day.
Jaw grinding can cause headaches, teeth damage and enlargement of the jaw muscles.

This condition is often linked to stress but can also be caused by sleep disorders, genetics and habitual muscle tension.

Treatment for this condition is by carefully placed muscle relaxing injections placed into the masseter. This helps by reducing clenching and grinding, eases jaw tension, reduces further wear on the teeth and can slim the face.

Under Eye Area

The under eye area is one of the first areas to show the signs of ageing. This is due to the skin being thinner and more delicate in this area and can contribute to Volume loss, Pigmentation, Fine lines and crepiness, Fluid retention and Shadowing from bone structure.

Common Under Eye Concerns

Dark Circles

Dark circles can come from pigmentation, visible blood vessels, genetics, or shadowing from hollowness. They often give the eyes a tired or sunken look.

Tear Trough Hollows / Volume Loss

As collagen and fat diminish with age, the under-eye can appear deeper, causing prominent shadows and enhancing dark circles.

Puffiness or Under-Eye Bags

This can come from fluid retention, allergies, lack of sleep, or the natural movement of fat pads under the eye.

Fine Lines & Crepey Texture

Repeated facial expressions, sun damage, and reduced collagen contribute to wrinkles and poor texture

Treatments

There are a variety of treatments designed to improve the under-eye area safely and naturally.

Polynucleotides

Work on a cellular level by stimulating new cell growth which helps improve the quality of skin to this region

Skin Boosters

Like redensity 1 which contains hyaluronic acid help hydrate the skin directly from within and improve texture, brightness, fine lines and wrinkles.

Microneedling

This treatment stimulates collagen, to improve firmness and reduce pigmentation which is Ideal for crepiness and fine lines.

Medical-Grade Skincare

Thin Lips

Thin lips can affect confidence and how you express yourself.

There are a number of factors that contribute to thin lips but sometimes people are just born lips on the thin side. As we age we also lose collagen and elastin in the lips which causes them to loose structure and volume.
Lifestyle factors such as smoking and repetitive movement can contribute to fine lines in and around the lips.

There are a number of concerns associated with thin lips including a lack of definition at the lip border, a flat appearance of the lip, uneven proportions, lines above the lips and difficulty applying lipstick.

There are a couple of ways of treating thin lips in clinic with the most effective treatment being dermal fillers.

This treatment adds natural looking volume to enhance the lip shape and improves hydration and symmetry.

Another common treatment is placing a very small amount of muscle relaxing injections around the top of the lip to create a smoother fuller lip.

Understanding Jowls

The jowl area of the face refers to the sagging of skin that develops along the jawline as we age.
There are multiple reasons for these developing as we age but is mainly caused by the decline of collagen and elastin over time, causing the skin to lose its ability to stay firm. Also volume loss in the mid cheek area creates an heaviness in our lower face, resulting in a less defined jawline.

Our Jowl-Targeting Treatments

We offer personalised treatment plans designed to lift, tighten, and refine the jawline. Depending on your needs, your treatment may include:

Dermal Fillers

Filler strategically placed in the midface, chin, or jawline helps restore support, lift sagging tissue, and sharpen facial contours.

Bio stimulators ( Sculptra/ Radiesse )

Biostimulators trigger your skin to produce new collagen and elastin over weeks to months. This will benefit the jowls by improving skin firmness along the jawline, subtle restoring mid face volume loss and create a stronger, fresher looking skin

Polynucleotides

Polynucleotides work on a cellular level by improving fibroblast activation resulting in more collagen and elastin. These treatments can help improve the jowl area by improving firmness and bounce to the skin.

Profhilo

Profhilo is an injectable skin booster that stimulates collagen and elastin whilst adding deep hydration to the skin. This treatment can benefit the jowls by increasing skin elasticity in the lower face.

Microneedling

Microneedling works by creating tiny micro- channels in the skin that stimulate collagen production which creates skin tightening overtime. This treatment can help with jowling by tightening and firming skin around the jawline.

Medical-Grade Skincare

Professional retinoids, peptides, and collagen-boosting products can improve skin quality when combined with in-clinic treatments. Following treatments patients will typically notice a more defined sculpted jawline, a reduction to the heaviness of the lower face and a more fresher youthful appearance
