 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an appointment with Kylie for skin tag removal, and this was my second visit to the clinic but my first time being treated by her.

At first, I was quite nervous and didn’t feel very confident about the procedure. However, as soon as Kylie started explaining the process and what to expect, she immediately put me at ease. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and clearly knows exactly what she’s doing.

I chose to have the procedure without numbing cream, and to my surprise, I hardly felt any discomfort at all. As soon as the treatment was finished, I could already see excellent results.

I would definitely recommend Kylie to anyone considering skin tag removal , ACP Treatment ..

Thank you all !

See before and immediate after 🥰 great job

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been a client of this clinic for a couple of years now and always find Kate extremely knowledgeable, personable and top tier customer service. I can see why she is in charge of running the clinic. I have had many microneedling and chemical peel treatments with Ellen and whilst I kept going back because she was so patient, skilled and knowledgeable, I also always enjoyed the little chats we'd have and the giggles. She always made the whole experience enjoyable. I am now a patient with the dermatology doctor and miss the ladies on the other side of the clinic! I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone interested in treatments

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had a consultation with Flor to discuss some loose skin on my eyelids, as well as skin tightening for my chin and jawline. She is clearly very experienced and knowledgeable, and took the time to explain my options while giving honest, realistic advice about what could actually be achieved.

What I appreciated most was that I never felt like I was being sold a treatment. Instead, Flor genuinely listened to my concerns and recommended what she felt would be the most suitable approach for me. It was so refreshing to speak with someone who prioritises giving honest guidance over making a sale.

I left the consultation feeling informed, reassured, and confident about my next steps.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was very skeptical of having laser as I did. It know what to expect. Leigh was very reassuring and approachable in making the whole experience comfortable. She even gave me a feel for the laser before my appointment in September by removing one cherry angioma. Now that’s great customer expectations!  I have an appointment booked for September!

— About

What are fine lines and wrinkles?

Fine lines and wrinkles tend to appear around your eyes and mouth from your mid-20s, as a result of a natural breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin.

Furrow lines – these can be classified as dynamic or static. They usually appear as two deep grooves between the eyebrows, or horizontal lines across the forehead.

Frown lines – these can look very similar to furrows and appear on the forehead between the eyebrows. Frown lines can arise as a result of a repeated facial expression.

Crow’s feet – These appear as multiple fine lines around the eyes due to smiling and the activity of the eyelid muscles.

Worry lines – These appear across the forehead as a result of the same facial expression when raising the eyebrows. Eventually these can become permanent lines.

— Causes

Causes of lines and wrinkles

Wrinkles arise as a result of a decrease in the amount of water held by the epidermis with age, which leads to an irregular thickening of the dermis. Triggers for this process include sun damage and exposure, and environmental toxins including smoking.

Repeated muscle movement can cause certain types of wrinkles to appear. Skin also loses elasticity over time due to a reduction in fat cells under the skin, and a loss of collagen and elastin fibres, resulting in lacklustre and flaccid skin with age.

— Who can get them

Who can develop fine lines and wrinkles?

The simple answer. Everyone.

Usually from the mid-20s onwards, we start to notice fine-lines and wrinkles. Drier skin tends to develop fine lines and wrinkles earlier than in more oily skin types.

— Treatment Options

Treating lines and wrinkles

Although there is no miracle cure to prevent our skin ageing, there are treatments available which can improve your skin’s appearance, and reduce and minimise fine lines and wrinkles.

Prevention is better than cure and so reducing sun exposure through the use of a daily sunblock, avoiding smoking, and enjoying a healthy balanced diet including healthy fats and minimising alcohol consumption will all help minimise fine lines and wrinkles.

— Aesthetic treatments which can help minimise fine lines and wrinkles include the following:

Skincare Consultations

Provide a personalised skincare regime to prevent premature ageing of the skin through protecting the skin and improving the visible appearance of the skin. Long-term use of retinoid creams, Vitamin-C and products containing alpha-hydroxy acids have been proven to reduce fine lines on the face.

Dermal Fillers

Can fill deeper lines and wrinkles on the face. The results are almost immediate and can last for up to 12 months.

Facial Rejuvenation

Facial rejuvenation laser treatment can reduce fine lines and tighten the skin through removing the top layer of the skin and revealing fresher underlying skin.

Medical-grade Skin Peels

Can help the skin become tighter and smoother through removing surface skin cells and stimulating skin renewal. Normally a course of six peels is required in order to see longer lasting benefits.

Anti-wrinkle Injections

Can improve the appearance of permanent dynamic lines such as frown lines. By limiting the muscles responsible for frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines the muscles relax and the area becomes smoother with less defined lines. Results are normally seen within two weeks and can last for up to 4 months.
