Understanding your skin is key to understanding how best to treat it.
Whether you’re thinking about professional treatments such as laser or injectables, or committing to a professional skincare routine, having a real insight into what’s going on at every level of your skin means that you’re making informed decisions about what issues you’re working on and what results you can expect.
What do we see in the mirror?
We all have our daily routines and most likely we all start our day by looking in the mirror, where we see a reflection of our faces.
Our face is one of our most important features. It is key to our identity and also the dynamic canvas through which we communicate and convey our emotions.
However, there are limits to what you can see with the naked eye.
What don’t we see in the mirror?
Our skin is continuously exposed to different risk factors that may damage our skin instantly or show the damages over time, such as:
- History of poor or no skincare
- Allergic reactions to cosmetics
- Side effects from medications
- Exposure to environmental factors such as UV rays and extreme temperatures
- Hormonal changes such as puberty, pregnancy, menopause
- Poor diet, insufficient hydration
- Smoking
- Limited sleep
- Stress
While you may see some signs of damage, not everything is immediately visible and there could be a lot more going on beneath the surface of the skin, which will be noticeable in years to come.

While some clinics use the consultation for cursory checks, for us the consultation is absolutely key to the high quality of care and service we’re known for.
Dr John Quinn MB, BCH, BAO, BACD says:
“It’s about trying to help you you be the best that you can be. Sometimes that means not even having treatment and that’s fine too.
“We charge for consultations and I don’t apologise for that, that’s why. We give good advice, you won’t come across a sales person no one here works to targets, no one gets commission based on what they sell – it’s not how we work.”
“If you’re thinking about coming into have a chat with us, I understand it’s really intimidating. Most people consider whether they want to have these procedures for actually a few years before they ever pick up the phone and talk to a human being about it.”
“When you come to see us, we are here to help. We’re not here to give you a sales push. We will offer impartial advice on everything we offer to the best of our ability. If it isn’t best we just don’t offer it.”
