It is important to consider your skin’s health at a micro-level. Keeping your skin clean, balanced, and hydrated can contribute to your overall health.
Both men and women should pay attention to their skin’s health, as it forms part of our overall health and well-being. Even small lifestyle changes, such as dietary nutrition and hydration, can have a positive effect on the skin.
Your skin contains fibres called collagen and elastin, which are vital proteins responsible for keeping your skin firm and elastic. The number of collagen and elastin fibres in your skin decreases every year after about the age of 20, which means our skin starts to become thinner and more fragile.

With the right care for your skin type, you can treat dryness, cleanse your face from oils and debris, reduce large pores, and treat a variety of conditions, such as acne, eczema, rosacea, and others.
Your personal consultation is the first step to finding the right procedure for you. Dr Jeremy Richardson is a highly skilled clinician, dedicated to providing quality results and a positive patient experience.
