Skin Concerns & Solutions
Not sure what to book?
Are you completely baffled as to which treatments or products are going to help you with your personal skin concerns, that’s what I am here for!
Here at the Skin Lab, I don’t just treat skin, I create personalised treatment plans based on your concerns, lifestyle and long term goals.
Below you’ll find guidance for common skin concerns and how I approach them.
Signs of Skin Ageing, Wrinkles & Loss of Firmness
As collagen naturally declines, skin can appear thinner, less firm and more lined. For me, the best approach is to stimulate collagen while maintaining skin health.
Focusing on:
* Boosting your own collagen production
* Improving texture and elasticity, skin’s natural bounce
* Enhancing glow and smoothness, refining the texture of the skin
* Long term skin strength
Solutions:
After an in-depth skin analysis and consultation, I would normally recommend a detailed plan that would include the following treatments, work on a timeframe and budget that suits you:
* Microneedling
* LED Light Therapy
* Homecare that supports the in-salon treatments
Acne
Whether you’re dealing with occasional hormonal breakouts or persistent acne (male & female), it’s rarely just bad skin. Breakouts can be triggered by not only hormones but stress, incorrect product, congestions or compromised skin barrier.
Focusing on:
* Reducing inflammation
* Decongesting and refining pores
* Supporting the skin’s natural barrier
* Preventing and reducing post-acne pigmentation and scarring
Solutions:
After skin consultation and analysis, we will discuss a detailed plan to suit time-frame and budget, I would usually recommend the following:
* Targeted chemical peel (Dermalogica pro power peel)
* Liquid Microneedling can work wonders at calming active acne and breakouts
* LED Light therapy
* Prescribed homecare
Pigmentation, Uneven Skin Tone and General Dullness
Pigmentation can appear as sun spots, melasma, post acne marks or dull, uneven tone. Treating pigmentation safely requires a strategic approach, especially with Irish skin types, we are prone to sensitivity.
Focusing on:
* Gradual brightening
* Controlling pigment triggers
* Strengthening the skin before advance treatments
* Prevention of further damage
Solutions:
* As with all plans, we would start with skin analysis and consultation with in-depth before and after pics.
* Brightening chemical peels (Dermalogica pro power peel)
* Microneedling with specific Dermalogica advance serums
* LED Light therapy
* Professional grade home care to back up treatments in the salon
Rosacea, Sensitivity, Redness & Reactive Skin
If your skin feels tight, irritated, inflamed, flushed or unpredictable then it can be a number of different things, rosacea, sensitized or sensitive.
Focusing on:
* Repairing the skin barrier
* Reduce inflammation
* Strengthen resilience
* Simplify your routine
Solutions:
Like the other skin concerns, we would always start with a tailored skin analysis and consultation and make a plan that will suit your time-frame and budget:
* LED Light Therapy
* Gentle, customised skin treatments
* When the skin is a little stronger and we feel its ready, liquid microneedling is an option
* Targeted homecare products to reinforce the skin and making it more resilient
It is also normal to be totally unsure as to which catagory you fit in to, which is why we carry out an in-depth consultation and skin analysis, taking images of your skin and seeing what is happening underneath and allowing us to track progress and making sure we are on the right path.
Your skin is unique. Your plan should be too.
