Within 24–48 hours a small protective blister may form, which is a normal and expected part of the healing process. Over the following 7–14 days this will dry into a scab and naturally fall away, revealing fresh pink skin underneath. The most important thing you can do to minimise the risk of scarring is to allow this to heal naturally and avoid picking the area.</span></p>\",\"00524f8a-98d9-4f47-b5d0-b4c407115118\":[4888],\"fb812f21-7614-47e0-b55a-8ed5607b5f4b\":false,\"556a3ac6-956d-48f1-b64a-184871e63dde\":\"Why doctor-led cryotherapy matters\",\"c38db626-85ba-4201-9240-e8c2b19beb5e\":\"<p><span style=\\\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\\\">Here is something many people do not realise: cryotherapy is a medical procedure, not a beauty treatment.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style=\\\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\\\">The skill is not simply in applying cold to the skin, but in understanding <i>what</i> is being treated and <i>whether</i> cryotherapy is the right option.

Many patients come to me at a point where their confidence is at its lowest - frustrated by persistent concerns such as acne breakouts, scarring, inflamed skin, pigmentation problems, textural irregularities, visible ageing, or skin that feels dull, dry, or fatigued. Skin has a powerful impact on how we see ourselves, and goes far beyond how it looks.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style=\\\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\\\">I carry out a thorough face-to-face assessment, exploring your medical and aesthetic history in detail, because your skin is completely unique,  and your plan going forward should be too.

For some patients, this develops into ongoing, structured support through the Skin Coach Club, while others choose a Radiance Collection programme - both providing clear direction, regular reviews, and a strategic long-term approach to skin health.

Beneath this lies the dermis - the living layer of the skin. This is where fibroblasts produce collagen and elastin, where hydration is retained, and where true skin strength, elasticity and resilience are determined. Many over-the-counter products, regardless of price, are not formulated to meaningfully influence this deeper layer.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style=\\\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\\\">Skin boosters bypass this limitation entirely. Using ultra-fine needles or cannula, I deliver non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid directly into the dermis through a series of micro-injections distributed evenly across the treatment area. This allows hydration and bio-remodelling to take place exactly where skin quality is determined.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style=\\\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\\\">This is also what differentiates skin boosters from dermal fillers. Fillers use cross-linked hyaluronic acid designed to add structure and volume. Skin boosters use non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid that disperses throughout the dermis, attracting water, improving skin density and supporting collagen and elastin production without altering facial shape.</span></p>\",\"00524f8a-98d9-4f47-b5d0-b4c407115118\":[4537],\"fb812f21-7614-47e0-b55a-8ed5607b5f4b\":false,\"556a3ac6-956d-48f1-b64a-184871e63dde\":\"Dr Rachel  - Why Doctor-Led Matters\",\"c38db626-85ba-4201-9240-e8c2b19beb5e\":\"<p><span style=\\\"background-color:transparent;\\\">Skin booster treatments may appear straightforward, but delivering hundreds of precise micro-injections across the face requires detailed anatomical knowledge, clinical judgement and meticulous technique.

It is not just the occasional spot before a big event. For many people, it is a persistent medical condition that can last for months or even years, affecting not only your skin, but often your confidence and how you feel day to day.</p><p> </p><p>Acne can present in several different ways, and most people experience a mixture of these at the same time. You might notice blackheads, where blocked pores remain open at the surface and appear dark due to a reaction between oil and air, alongside whiteheads, where the blockage sits just beneath the skin as small flesh-coloured bumps. Some breakouts appear as papules, which are small red inflamed spots that can feel sore to touch, while others develop into pustules, the more familiar spots with a visible white or yellow centre caused by inflammation within the pore. In more persistent or severe cases, acne can also form nodules or cysts, which are deeper, more painful lumps beneath the skin that can last for weeks and may increase the risk of scarring if not properly managed.</p><p> </p><p>Acne most commonly affects the face, but it can also develop on the chest, back and shoulders. The location, pattern and type of breakouts you experience often provide important clues about what may be driving your acne. Understanding this is what allows me to recommend treatments that are not just effective, but also appropriate for your skin.</p>\",\"7509c6f1-b682-433b-9708-0d83e83f3a1f\":[7014]}',1,'2026-04-07 19:20:04','2026-04-07 19:20:04','915d902b-d6e0-455d-9d1b-0fc9a8880d3d'),

Androgens, the hormones that rise during puberty and fluctuate throughout adult life, can stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce more oil, increasing the likelihood of blocked pores and inflammation.</span></p><h3> </h3><h3><span style=\\\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\\\">Stress </span></h3><p> </p><p><span style=\\\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\\\">Stress can also play a significant role. When you are under prolonged stress, your body produces higher levels of cortisol. This can increase oil production, worsen inflammation and slow skin healing, which is why many people notice their skin worsening during particularly busy or difficult periods.</span></p><p> </p><h3><span style=\\\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\\\">Genetics  </span></h3><p> </p><p><span style=\\\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\\\">If your parents experienced acne, you may be more likely to develop it too.

As we move through our 30s, 40s and beyond, several structural changes happen at the same time. We gradually lose facial volume as the fat that once supported youthful contours reduces and shifts downwards.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style=\\\"color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\\\">Collagen production also slows, meaning the skin becomes less firm and elastic. The underlying bone structure changes too, particularly through the cheeks and jawline, subtly altering the framework that supports the face. At the same time, levels of hyaluronic acid decline, meaning the skin holds less moisture and can start to look less plump and radiant.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style=\\\"color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\\\">In youth, the face is often shaped like an inverted triangle, with fullness through the cheeks and gentle tapering towards the chin. This is sometimes called the <i>triangle of youth</i>. As these changes occur, that triangle gradually reverses. Volume is lost from the mid-face, the lower face can appear heavier, and shadows begin to form where light once reflected smoothly. This is often when people notice they look more tired, even when they feel well.</span></p>\",\"00524f8a-98d9-4f47-b5d0-b4c407115118\":[4753],\"fb812f21-7614-47e0-b55a-8ed5607b5f4b\":false,\"556a3ac6-956d-48f1-b64a-184871e63dde\":\"Dr Rachel  - Why doctor-led dermal fillers matter\",\"c38db626-85ba-4201-9240-e8c2b19beb5e\":\"<p><span style=\\\"color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\\\">There is something many people are not aware of in the aesthetics industry: dermal fillers are medical devices, yet they are sometimes administered in settings without medical oversight.

Treatment techniques and product placement, therefore, need to be carefully adapted. I tailor each treatment to respect these anatomical differences, focusing on proportion, structure, and natural results. Male aesthetics is a growing area of practice, and I welcome male patients looking for discreet, professional, doctor-led facial rejuvenation.</p>\"}',1,'2026-04-13 09:29:39','2026-04-13 09:29:39','1d67e202-0009-4ff0-8ced-02fe607335ed'),

Neauvia Hydro Deluxe uses non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid combined with calcium hydroxyapatite. It is delivered in a grid pattern of micro-injections across the treatment area to deeply hydrate the dermis and support collagen stimulation. This approach focuses on improving hydration, resilience and overall skin quality, especially in areas prone to dehydration and texture loss. Profhilo® is a high-concentration hyaluronic acid formulation that is injected at fewer strategic points (typically 5 on each side of your face). Once placed, it spreads naturally through the tissue, promoting bio-remodelling by stimulating multiple types of collagen and elastin. This leads to improved tissue firmness and a subtle lifting effect alongside enhanced hydration. Many patients benefit from a strategic combination of both, tailored to their individual skin goals and skin quality.</p>\"}',1,'2026-04-13 09:34:35','2026-04-13 09:34:35','877cb5e7-a5a1-43d1-bb02-586ebcee0687'),

Elastin, which allows skin to stretch and recoil, also declines. Levels of hyaluronic acid reduce, meaning the skin holds less moisture and appears less plump and radiant. Together, these changes lead to thinner skin, fine lines, and increased skin laxity. </span></p><p> </p><p><span style=\\\"background-color:transparent;color:#333333;\\\">Ageing also affects the deeper framework of the face. Facial fat pads gradually lose volume and descend, reducing soft tissue support. Over time, the facial skeleton undergoes slow, subtle reshaping as bone is gradually broken down and rebuilt in different areas. This leads to a gentle loss of overall facial bone volume and changes in contour, which reduces the support available for the soft tissues above. </span></p>\",\"7509c6f1-b682-433b-9708-0d83e83f3a1f\":[6567]}',1,'2026-04-13 09:39:48','2026-04-13 09:39:48','ff512aaf-1969-42be-95e9-4f24fde5d28d'),

Treatment is carefully tailored, including needle depth, technique and aftercare, to suit your skin type and individual needs. When planned and delivered appropriately, microneedling can be a safe and effective option for improving skin texture, scarring and overall skin quality in darker skin tones.\"}',1,'2026-04-13 13:01:09','2026-04-13 13:01:09','178c918f-6898-41e3-b38a-5a51922cdf9b'),

Medical microneedling is an effective treatment for atrophic acne scars, such as rolling, boxcar and ice-pick scars, particularly when paired with advanced clinical-grade serums. By creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, microneedling stimulates collagen production, helping to gradually soften and improve the appearance of scar tissue. Improvements develop over time, with the most visible changes typically seen from around 12 weeks onwards. For more established or deeper scarring, microneedling is often combined with regenerative treatments such as <a href=\\\"{entry:4593@1:url||https://hermeswp.xyz/rachel/web/treatments/polynucleotides}\\\">polynucleotides</a>, <a href=\\\"{entry:4203@1:url||https://hermeswp.xyz/rachel/web/treatments/julaine-bio-stimulators}\\\">biostimulators</a> like JULAINE™ and <a href=\\\"{entry:4303@1:url||https://hermeswp.xyz/rachel/web/treatments/chemical-peels}\\\">chemical resurfacing</a>, which support collagen quality and tissue repair.

Avoid retinoids, acids and other active ingredients for around 5-7 days, and avoid makeup for 12-24 hours.
