Skin Health
Skin health, explained clearly.
Clinical guides to how skin ages, and how a treatment plan works on the surface and on the structure underneath it. Dr Shahe Boghossian reviews each one before we publish it.
Each guide here explains the mechanism behind a change in your skin.
One mechanism per guide, followed to the end: why a laser wavelength finds one structure in the skin and leaves what surrounds it, or why rapid weight loss empties the deep fat pads faster than the skin over them can retract. They are long, because a mechanism takes that long to explain.
If you want the practical answer, what a treatment costs, how long you will be red for and whether it suits you, that is in the advice library. Come here first if you would rather understand the problem before you choose what to do about it.
Dr Shahe Boghossian, the clinic's Medical Consultant, GMC 5204600, reviews every guide. Our clinical governance sets out the standards that review works to, and who answers for them.
Skin Architecture
How skin ages at each layer, and how a clinical plan addresses surface, dermal quality, structural support and selective volume.
Read the guide ExplainerWhy Rapid Weight Loss Ages the Face
Weight-loss injections empty the deep fat pads faster than skin can retract over them. What that does to the face, and the order a clinical plan rebuilds it.
Read the guide ExplainerLess Filler, More Biology
Practitioners are moving from adding volume to prompting the skin to make its own collagen. The evidence for that shift, and how a plan is built around it.

Why a wavelength finds one structure and spares the rest. Selective photothermolysis, the four settings behind every laser treatment, and why the room itself is licensed.
