Appointment length: 30 minutes

This appointment builds on our standard Advanced Skincare Consultation with the addition of an AI-powered skin analysis, carried out using an AI Skin Detection Mirror. The mirror uses multispectral transdermal imaging to photograph your skin and analyse eight major skin concerns, comparing your results to others of the same age and gender and marking areas of concern directly on your images. It also gives an indication of how your skin may look in 5–7 years if no preventative steps are taken, purely as a tool for education and discussion — not a diagnosis. You'll receive a personalised report combining this analysis with tailored product and treatment recommendations, which can be used to track any improvement over time. As with our standard skincare consultation, we'll also assess your skin, discuss your goals and any concerns, and build a personalised, realistic plan to improve skin health and appearance over time. This service is for adults who want a structured routine, product recommendations and professional support. It may not be suitable if you have a rapidly worsening rash, suspected skin infection, severe eczema/psoriasis flare, or a new or changing mole/lesion — these should be assessed by your GP/pharmacist/dermatology first. Skincare advice can also be limited during pregnancy/breastfeeding and when using certain prescription medicines, so we'll tailor recommendations accordingly.

Why Choose a Registered Nurse Prescriber?

Because your safety means everything to me.

  • Over 17 years of NHS experience
  • A degree in adult nursing
  • A Master's in Advanced Clinical Practice
  • Registered as a non-medical prescriber with a V300 qualification
  • Level 7 qualification in History Taking and Physical Examination for Advancing Practice

What Happens During Treatment

We start with a consultation covering your main concerns, goals, lifestyle, budget, and what you're currently using (including any prescription or active products). We'll review relevant medical history, allergies and sensitivities. The AI Skin Detection Mirror then takes a short series of photos (around 10 seconds) and analyses eight major skin dimensions using its imaging algorithm, marking any problem areas on the images and comparing them to peers of the same age and gender. Your skin is also assessed in good lighting and, where helpful, with magnification for progress tracking. We'll explain what may be contributing to your concerns, talk through your personalised report, and outline a step-by-step routine (AM/PM), including which actives to introduce, when to use them, and how to reduce irritation risk. You'll leave with your report, a recommended regime and product recommendations, and future visits can be compared against it to track progress.

Expected Results

You can expect improved clarity and confidence in your routine straight away. Visible skin changes are typically gradual: some people notice improvements in 2–4 weeks, with more meaningful changes often taking 6–12 weeks, depending on the concern and consistency.

How long results may last: Results are maintained with ongoing use and may need reviews as your skin, seasons, or goals change.

Downtime & Recovery

There's no downtime. Occasionally, if you start new active ingredients, you may experience mild dryness, tightness, tingling, redness, or a short "purge" of spots as your skin adjusts. These effects are usually temporary and can often be reduced by pacing introductions and adjusting product frequency.

Side Effects, Risks & Contraindications

Possible side effects

  • Mild dryness, tightness or tingling when starting new active ingredients
  • Temporary redness
  • A short "purge" of spots as your skin adjusts

Risks

  • Irritant or allergic contact dermatitis, stinging, or excessive dryness if products are used incorrectly or too frequently
  • Barrier disruption, or a flare of acne or rosacea
  • Pigment irritation, particularly with retinoids, acids and brightening agents used without adequate sun protection

Contraindications

  • We do not provide medical diagnosis — any severe, spreading, blistering, infected, or rapidly worsening skin problem needs medical assessment first
  • Some products are unsuitable in pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Advice may be limited if you are under dermatology care, using prescription treatments (e.g. isotretinoin), or have a history of significant allergies — appropriate referral will be advised where needed

Aftercare

Follow the routine exactly as advised, introducing new actives slowly (e.g. every other night at first) and stopping if you develop significant irritation. Use a gentle cleanser and moisturiser to support your skin barrier. Wear broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 daily, and avoid sunbeds. Don't add extra new products for at least 2–4 weeks unless discussed, as this makes it harder to identify triggers. Avoid over-exfoliating, harsh scrubs, or mixing multiple strong actives together unless specifically advised. If you have persistent burning, swelling, hives, blistering, or signs of infection, stop the product and arrange a review.
