Medical Skin Care
A medical lens on the skin — for the concerns that don’t belong on an aesthetic menu.
Why This Exists
A lot of skin concerns sit in a quiet middle ground — not quite a cosmetic problem, not yet an emergency, but real enough to be on your mind. Patients often don’t know who to ask.
That’s the gap this side of the practice exists to fill. We evaluate skin concerns properly, tell you what’s going on, and either treat it ourselves or guide you to the right next step.
Concerns We Commonly See
- Acne and post-acne marks. Assessment and a clear treatment plan — including options for the texture and pigment left behind after acne has cleared.
- Rosacea and reactive skin. Identifying the triggers, calming the surface, and building a routine the skin can tolerate.
- Pigmentation, melasma and sun damage. A staged plan: protect, calm, then treat. Pigmentation is one of the most rewarding things to treat correctly — and one of the easiest to make worse with the wrong approach.
- Suspicious moles and spots. Evaluation of marks that are new, changing or simply worrying you. If something needs further care, we'll tell you and refer appropriately.
- Sensitive and compromised skin. Routine resets for skin that has been over-treated, over-stripped, or stuck in a flare.
- Hair, scalp and nail concerns. Assessment and care for the most common conditions affecting the scalp, nails and surrounding skin.
In Person, Or By Video
Many medical skin concerns can be evaluated by secure video visit — particularly first appointments and follow-ups. Others need to be seen in person. We’ll guide you to whichever is appropriate, and we’ll say so honestly.
What To Expect
- Book a consultation describing your concern in your own words.
- Send any photos requested before the visit (for video visits).
- Meet with the same clinician who'll see you again — not a different provider every time.
- Leave with a written plan and clear next steps.
Common Questions
Can I be seen by video, or do I need to come in?
It depends on the concern. Many skin conditions, acne, rosacea, pigmentation, routine reviews, can be assessed very well by secure video visit, especially when you send photos in advance. Some things genuinely need to be seen in person: moles that require hands-on assessment, anything that may need a biopsy, and conditions where examination matters more than conversation. We’ll tell you which applies to your situation before you book.
I'm not sure what I have. Can I still book?
Yes. Describe your concern in your own words when you book, that’s enough. You don’t need a diagnosis to start the conversation. Our job is to work out what’s going on and give you a plan, not the other way around.
What if something I have needs to go to a dermatologist or specialist?
We’ll tell you, and we’ll guide the referral. Not every concern is something we treat in-house, and we won’t pretend otherwise. If you need a higher level of care or a different specialist, we’ll make that clear and help you get there.
Do you prescribe topicals and medications?
Where appropriate, yes, for conditions like acne, rosacea, pigmentation and other common skin presentations, prescription treatment is often part of the plan. We discuss this during your consultation and explain what’s being recommended and why before prescribing anything.
Can I book medical skin care alongside an aesthetic treatment?
Often, yes. Many patients combine a skin concern visit with an aesthetic consultation in the same appointment. The two are more connected than most practices treat them, healthy skin is the foundation of any aesthetic result.
