Most skincare problems come down to treating the wrong thing. A professional skin analysis gives us a proper baseline — your actual skin type, what's going on beneath the surface, and what's most likely to make a difference. From there, treatment recommendations are based on evidence rather than guesswork.
Book Your Skin Analysis Service
Imaging technology picks up developing sun damage, pigmentation forming beneath the skin, and early signs of ageing that aren't yet visible to the naked eye — often the most important things to address first.
Without a proper assessment, treatment recommendations are educated guesses. With one, everything we suggest is directly relevant to what your skin actually needs.
Choosing treatments without understanding your skin type and concerns is how people end up spending money on products and procedures that do nothing — or occasionally make things worse.
Baseline photographs and detailed records mean you can see improvement clearly as treatment progresses — useful for motivation and for adjusting the plan if needed.
Your appointment starts with a consultation about your skin history, current concerns, and anything you're already using. We then examine the skin under specialised lighting and may use imaging technology to pick up things that aren't obvious to the naked eye — underlying sun damage, developing pigmentation, hydration levels, and texture issues. We look at skin type, oiliness, dehydration, congestion, signs of ageing, and overall skin health, and take photographs for comparison and progress tracking. The whole assessment takes around 30 minutes. Afterwards, we talk through what we've found — what's actually happening with your skin and why — then put together a realistic treatment plan with suggested products and an honest timeline for results. It removes the guesswork from everything that comes next.
Treatment suggestions come from the assessment findings, not assumptions. If the analysis shows dehydration rather than oiliness, for example, the recommended approach changes entirely.
Knowing exactly what your skin needs means you're not trying things at random. It's a more direct route to results, which saves money over time.
Every treatment you have after a proper analysis works from a more informed position. It's the difference between following a plan and experimenting.
We'll tell you what's realistic for your skin and roughly how long it's likely to take. That's more useful than vague reassurances, and means you're less likely to be disappointed.

"I booked very last minute as I had a voucher my friends got me for my birthday back in October. I felt really stressed out after the holiday and Christmas lead up and booked in a massage and facial on Boxing Day as a last minute bit of much needed ‘me time’. Kimberley didn’t disappoint. The aromatherapy massage was utterly soothing and relaxing and my facial….out of this world!!! I felt like me again so thank you Kimberley. ♥️"
