Clearing adult breakouts, and the marks they left
Tomi came to us after years of harsh products. A consultation, a six-peel mandelic course two weeks apart and a pared-back home routine settled her skin without a single day off work.

Recognition is a by-product.
Good skin is the point.
Every award on this page started with a client’s result. We keep the menu short, the advice straight and the follow-up personal. When the industry notices, it’s usually because our clients told them first.

Salve/ A client’s story
A quiet room
Every visit starts here: forty-five minutes, one practitioner, no rush.
An honest look
Leah had tried everything for the redness. First, we looked properly at her skin.
Calm light, twice a month
Six LED sessions with a practitioner beside her, and not one day off work.
A shorter shelf
Five products out, three in. A routine she could actually keep.
Evenings, simply
One serum at night, and SPF every morning after.
Twelve weeks on
Calmer, even skin, and a check-in whenever she needs one.

Trained in medicine,
not in selling,
and it shows
in the results.

Have queries? Need help?
The questions we hear most, answered plainly. If yours isn’t here, message us and a practitioner will reply within a working day.
Book a Skin Consultation. It takes 45 minutes, you leave with a written plan, and the fee comes off your first treatment.
Yes, a £50 deposit holds your appointment and comes off the final price. It is refundable if you give us 48 hours’ notice.
Of course. Move it with at least 48 hours’ notice and your deposit carries over. Later changes may lose the deposit.
Only our medical director, Dr Amara Reid, after a medical consultation. We never inject on the same day as a first consultation.
Most feel like very little. For microneedling and injectables we use numbing cream first, and we check in with you throughout.
Yes, with the right choices. Some lasers and IPL are not suitable for deeper skin, so we will recommend peels and microneedling set for your skin instead.
Some facials and LED are fine. We do not offer peels, laser, IPL or injectables during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
