Skin Concerns

Acne is a common skin condition characterised by the formation of pustules, blackheads, and cysts, primarily affecting areas with high sebaceous (oil) gland activity. Managing acne involves a comprehensive approach that includes understanding the condition, utilising appropriate skincare products, considering medications, and exploring in-clinic treatments.

Benign skin lesions, including seborrheic keratoses (seb K), skin tags, milia, and sebaceous hyperplasia, are non-cancerous growths. Although these lesions are not harmful, patients request treatment for aesthetic reasons, or because they cause discomfort. There are various options available to remove or reduce these skin lesions.

Broken capillaries, also known as spider veins or telangiectasia, are small, dilated blood vessels that appear near the surface of the skin. These vessels often form web-like patterns and are commonly found on the face around the nose, cheeks, and chin. They can be caused by various factors, including genetics, sun exposure, ageing, rosacea, and minor injuries. While generally harmless, broken capillaries can be a cosmetic concern for many individuals.

Melasma is a common skin condition characterised by pigmentation, primarily
affecting areas such as the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip. It is often triggered by hormonal changes, such as pregnancy, the use of birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy, or prolonged sun exposure.

Perimenopause is a phase of life marked by hormonal changes that can significantly affect the skin. Common concerns include dryness, loss of elasticity, fine lines, uneven pigmentation, and increased sensitivity. At O’Skin, we offer consultations to address your concerns during this period. Our customised care plans address your unique needs, ensuring you feel confident in the skin you’re in.

Pigmentation concerns, including melasma, sunspots, and post-inflammatory
hyperpigmentation, are common skin issues caused by factors such as sun
exposure, hormonal changes, and ageing. A combination of advanced skin care products, chemical peels, and laser treatments can effectively address pigmentation concerns. At O’Skin we offer tailored approaches to ensure safe and optimal results for everyone.

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that can affect individuals at any age.
Characterised by redness, flushing, burning sensations, broken capillaries, and
papules, it often flares in response to triggers such as environmental factors, stress, certain foods and drinks, and skincare products. While rosacea cannot be cured, a multifactorial approach can help manage symptoms effectively.

At O’Skin we specialise in helping individuals manage and reduce the appearance of scars, including acne scarring. Our expert team provides personalised care and advanced treatments to address recent scars and those that have been with you for years.

Tattoo removal technology has come a long way, and picosecond lasers like PicoWay offer the most advanced, effective, and safe solution available today. Unlike traditional nanosecond lasers, which rely on heat to break down tattoo ink, picosecond lasers use ultra-fast picosecond pulses (one trillionth of a second) to shatter ink into tiny particles. This means Faster ink clearance with fewer sessions, more effective removal of stubborn colours like blues and greens and less heat damage, reducing discomfort and lowering the risk of scarring.
