SkinPen microneedling
SkinPen is a medical-grade microneedling device. It creates thousands of tiny, controlled channels in the skin, which trigger the body's natural healing response and the production of new collagen. Over a course of treatments, skin looks smoother and firmer.
It is a good choice for:
- Acne scarring and uneven texture.
- Enlarged pores and dullness.
- Fine lines on the face and neck.
The skin is numbed first. Afterwards it looks pink, like mild sunburn, for a day or two. Most people need a course of sessions a few weeks apart.
Chemical peels
A chemical peel uses carefully chosen acids to remove dull, damaged surface cells and encourage fresher skin underneath. Trisha offers:
- Obagi peels. Medical-grade peels for tone, texture and sun damage. Autumn and winter are "peel season", when there is less sun to protect against while skin renews.
- BioRePeel. A peel designed to improve texture and brightness with minimal downtime, suitable for most skin types.
Peels can also help men with congested, uneven skin. Think of a peel as a deep clean for the face.
Strict sun protection is part of every skin plan. Trisha will tell you exactly what to use while your skin recovers.
Obagi medical-grade skincare
Results last longer when your home routine supports them. Trisha stocks Obagi medical-grade skincare in clinic, including the lightweight Hydrate Light gel cream, and keeps learning about new medical-grade ranges. She'll suggest a short routine to suit your skin, not a shelf of products.
Combining treatments
Skin treatments work well alongside injectables. A common plan is a course of skin boosters for hydration, with microneedling or peels for texture, timed so that each has time to settle. Trisha will map out what to do and when.
Before your treatment
Some skincare products, recent sun exposure, certain medicines and active skin infections affect whether a peel or microneedling is safe. These are all checked at your consultation, and you may be asked to prepare your skin for a week or two beforehand.
