Medical-Grade Skincare

Medical-Grade Skincare

Evidence-led skincare at strengths the high street cannot offer, prescribed and planned around your skin at consultation, not sold off a shelf.

What it is

Medical-grade skincare uses ingredients at clinically meaningful concentrations, including, where appropriate, prescription-only preparations, selected for your skin at a consultation. It is the foundation of almost every good skin plan, and sometimes it is the whole plan.

What it may help with

  • Pigmentation and uneven tone
  • Acne-prone and congested skin
  • Dullness, texture and early lines
  • Redness-prone skin, with careful product selection
  • Protecting results from in-clinic treatments

Who it may be suitable for

Anyone over 18 who wants their skincare to actually do something, whether starting from scratch or auditing a cluttered routine.

Who it may not be suitable for

Certain actives are unsuitable in pregnancy or breastfeeding, alongside some medications, allergies and skin conditions. Your consultation screens for all of these.

What to expect

A skincare consultation reviews your current routine honestly, including what to stop buying. You leave with a written regime, realistic timescales and a review point. Prescription items, where appropriate, are issued only after assessment by our prescriber.

Consultation & safety

Strong skincare misused causes real problems. We introduce actives gradually, explain the adjustment period, and remain contactable if your skin reacts unexpectedly.

Aftercare

Your regime comes with clear usage instructions and an adjustment plan. Reviews at six to twelve weeks let us refine strengths and sequences as your skin adapts.

Possible side effects & risks

Actives such as retinoids and acids commonly cause temporary dryness, flaking or sensitivity during adjustment. Allergy is uncommon. Guidance on managing the adjustment period is provided in writing.

All treatments carry some degree of risk. Your practitioner will discuss potential side effects with you at consultation so you can make an informed decision. Results vary between individuals and no specific outcome can be guaranteed.
