Preparing Your Skin for Laser Treatment ✨

Thinking about laser treatment? The best results start before you even go under the laser. Proper preparation helps protect your skin, improve comfort, and ensure your treatment can be carried out as safely as possible.

☀️ 14 Days Before Treatment

Avoid sun exposure, sunbeds and fake tan on your face for at least 14 days before your appointment.

Even a light tan can affect laser treatment. The laser needs to distinguish between your natural skin and the target tissue, so tanned skin can increase the risk of unwanted epidermal damage.

💧 Consider a Deep-Cleansing Facial

I often recommend a professional Hydrofacial 1–2 weeks before beginning a major aesthetics journey.

A deep cleanse can help remove impurities and leave the skin feeling clear and well prepared for treatment.

🚫 Pause Strong Actives

Around 7 days before treatment, you may need to stop harsh or potentially sensitising skincare ingredients, particularly:

• Prescription retinoids such as tretinoin
• Strong exfoliating acids
• Other products that may compromise or over-sensitise the skin barrier

Your exact preparation should always be confirmed with at your treatment plan.

🩺 On the Day: What to Expect

Allow around 30–45 minutes for your in-clinic preparation before treatment.

1. Thorough cleansing & de-greasing
Your skin needs to be completely clean and free from makeup, oils, heavy moisturisers and foundation so the laser can be applied correctly.

2. Numbing cream
For some more intense treatments using a prescription-strength topical numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area. This is typically left in place for around 20–30 minutes to maximise your comfort.
Some light "Airbrush" settings require no numbing.

3. Eye protection
You’ll be fitted with appropriate laser safety goggles to protect your eyes during treatment.

🔬 The Mandatory First Step: Test Patch & Consultation

Before booking your treatment, you’ll need to attend a Laser Test Patch & Consultation (£20).

During this approximately 30-minute appointment, your practitioner will:
✔️ Assess your skin
✔️ Discuss your concerns and treatment goals
✔️ Create your personalised preparation plan
✔️ Carry out test pulses on a suitable area, such as the jawline, to assess your skin’s response

Your laser journey should always begin with a proper consultation and skin assessment. Never skip the preparation stage—it’s an important part of safe, effective treatment.

📍 Chatsworth Road Clinic
💬 Contact the clinic to arrange your Laser Test Patch & Consultation.

Please note: Preparation requirements can vary depending on your skin type, medical history and the laser being used. Always follow the specific instructions provided by your qualified practitioner.

✨ Subtle support, beautiful results.

This lovely patient had a subtle cheek treatment designed to restore support where it matters most — helping to gently lift and support the under-eye area, enhance her natural cheekbones and soften the appearance of the outer eye/crow’s feet area.

Combined with carefully placed Botulinum Toxin, the aim was to keep the area looking smooth, refreshed and youthful, while still maintaining natural movement and expression.

For me, it’s never about changing someone’s face — it’s about strategic, refined treatment that enhances what’s already there. 🤍

If you’re noticing tired-looking eyes, loss of cheek definition or changes around the outer eye area, get in touch to book a consultation and we can discuss what would be right for you.

What a HOT one! 🥵☀️
I’m back after a week away and WOW… it’s been CRAZY busy! 😅
Thankfully, my treatment room is much cooler, so I think you’ve all been surprisingly comfortable on my treatment couch — even in this heat! 😂
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has kept me so busy and, as always, trusted me with your faces. 💓 It really does mean so much.
After a day in this heat, my perfect evening looks something like:
🚿 Cool shower
👗 Flowy kaftan
🍷 A glass of wine
🍦 Some ice cream
…and absolutely NO cooking! 😂
I don’t seem to have much appetite when it’s this hot anyway!
So tell me… how are YOU coping with the heat? ☀️🥵

The Neck… and that little turkey waddle 🦃😬
No jowls? Great. But what about that little bit of loose skin under the chin that seems to appear from nowhere?
So many of you tell me you hate it — and it’s incredibly common, particularly after weight loss. Double trouble if you’ve lost weight and your skin has started to lax. 😬
So… what can we actually do about it?
Let’s get real.
The neck is a delicate area, and I’m not going to promise that injectables or devices will magically shrink moderate-to-severe laxity.
For mild laxity, however, we can often improve skin quality, texture and firmness with the right treatment — and in my experience, combination treatments can work particularly well.
But there’s a catch…
👉 It’s not a “one and done”.
👉 Each treatment builds on the last.
👉 Results need maintaining.
👉 And yes, you may have temporary bumps, redness and sometimes bruising afterwards because this is a delicate area.
So, now we’ve been honest… here are some of the options we can consider:
✨ Neck Skin Booster / Mesotherapy — £130 per session
Helps nourish, hydrate and improve the quality of the skin.
✨ Laser Tightening — £150 per session
✨ Wrinkle Relaxation
Can sometimes help soften and tighten prominent neck bands — the ones that can give that hammock-like appearance.
✨ Profhilo — £225 per session
✨ Polynucleotides — £150 per session
✨ Polynucleotides + Skin Booster Combination — £270 per session.

Most treatment plans will require at least 3 sessions, depending on your starting point and what we're trying to achieve.
The aim isn't to make your neck look “done”.
It's to improve the quality, firmness and appearance of the skin gradually and naturally.
If you're fed up with your little turkey neck, come and have a proper assessment. I'll tell you honestly what I think will — and won't — help.
