MEET THE TEAM

We all pride ourselves on honesty, results and education; that skin health should be accessible for all (not just the elite) and we genuinely invest in our patients and their skin journey and this is where we are different! 

No nonsense

Amber Danson BSc, MSC

Clinical Director

Amber is our Clinical Director and founder of Advanced Skin. With Degrees in Forensic Science, Physiology and Anatomy and Aesthetic Medicine she has gone on to complete her Masters in Advanced Facial Anatomy and Immunology.
 
Advanced Skin was created after Amber became disillusioned with the industry and the way it exploited people’s self esteem issues for monetary gain – rather than correcting them. Combining her extensive experience of anatomy, physiology, immunology, pathology, dissection and clinical services; she has become one of the leaders in her field. Currently considered one of the leading experts in teen skin and acne, as well as specialising in inflammatory skin conditions has led to patients travelling internationally for our services, advice and care.
 
Amber is a qualified trainer and winner of multiple industry awards, which has led to her offering professional development support, as well as training other practitioners in advanced aesthetic practices. Along with being a contributing columnist for various health and wellbeing publications.
 
Amber’s primary goal is to teach people that skin is an important organ (not a vanity); to make skin health, education and care accessible to all, to educate teens and above all, to stop people wasting their money on ridiculously priced, ineffective products. Ethics, Integrity and results are the foundation of Advanced Skin Cheltenham, and we aren’t afraid to say “No” when its needed!

Our skins appearance has a huge psychological impact that can last a lifetime and the misinformation given {solely to make money} doesn’t help. I vow to offer no nonsense advice and to educate people on what works. My clients know I care, that I am available when needed and I am as invested in their journey as they are.

She has worked closely and trained with our founder and Clinical Director to ensure her training, knowledge and skills are not only exceptional but to the highest standard.

I want to teach people that perfection doesn’t exist. We live in a world full of filters, airbrushing and make up, which only contributes to mental health issues in both teens and adults. We have lost sight of what is normal and healthy behaviour in our skin and I want to not only teach my clients the importance of health over perfection, but how to love themselves too!
