Sensitive skin

• Stinging or burning after applying products
• Frequent flushing or redness
• Tightness, dryness or flaking
• Reactions to fragrance, exfoliants or strong active ingredients
• Skin that changes quickly with weather or heat
• Increased sensitivity after another treatment

Persistent redness, itching, rash or discomfort can be associated with medical skin conditions. We may recommend GP or dermatology review if diagnosis is needed.

The outermost layer of skin helps limit water loss and protect against irritants. When this barrier is disrupted, skin can feel dry, inflamed and less tolerant.

Barrier support may involve reducing unnecessary active products, using a gentle cleanser and moisturiser, and protecting the skin from UV exposure. The goal is not to add as many calming products as possible; it is to create a routine your skin can use consistently.

Depending on the condition of your skin, we may recommend:

• LED light therapy within gentle recovery or redness-support plans
• Neo Facials adapted for hydration, comfort and minimal irritation
• Professional home care selected around barrier support and tolerance
• A pause from advanced treatment while the skin stabilises

Light, laser, peel and needling treatments are not automatically excluded, but suitability should be assessed carefully and may require preparation or patch testing.

For reactive skin, success may mean greater comfort, fewer unexpected reactions and improved tolerance rather than an immediate visual transformation. Once the barrier is more stable, other concerns can be reviewed without overwhelming the skin.
