Do I need a consultation before booking?

Yes. All new clients begin with a consultation. This is a 60-minute assessment at my Edinburgh West End practice. Investment £95, credited in full if you proceed to a Skin Journey.

Do you work with clients who have Botox or fillers?

Yes. I work with many clients who have had injectables. I recommend allowing around four weeks after treatment so everything has settled properly before we begin.

Are you against Botox and fillers?

No. My work sits alongside injectables. For clients who choose both, the two approaches can complement each other well. Consistent skin conditioning improves the quality and resilience of the skin that injectables work with.

Do you use fillers or injectable treatments?

No. The micro-injections I use in treatments such as mesotherapy deliver concentrated ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamins, minerals and peptides directly into the skin.

Do you offer one-off treatments?

All new clients begin with a consultation. From there, some clients move into a Skin Journey, while others choose to book individual treatments.

Are any of your treatments uncomfortable?

Some treatments, including IPL and HIFU, may involve mild discomfort. We will discuss this in advance at your consultation, and where appropriate, I will carry out a patch test beforehand.

How long before I see results?

That depends on your skin and your goals. Most clients notice early changes within a few sessions, but meaningful, lasting improvement comes from a consistent, structured approach over time. This is why I work in programmes rather than one-off appointments; results that accumulate are results that hold.

Every Skin Journey begins with a consultation. You can book directly via the consultation page, or get in touch through the contact page if you’d like to ask a question first.

The tools, and how I choose them

Over 30 years, I have worked with a great many technologies. The ones here are those I trust, because they do something specific and do it well.

None of them is a treatment you choose from a list. Each is a tool, selected for what your skin needs at a particular stage, and sequenced with others so they work together. Below, I explain what each one does and where it fits.
