INDUSTRY EXPERTS AND SPECIALISTS

Proven results

“

I became a mummy recently and I really needed something to boost my confidence and give me some “me” time….

Then I found Advanced Skin! I have struggled with my skin and complexion for a long time and it effected my confidence. In the time I have been seeing the team, the difference in my skin is AMAZING, the advice I have received has been priceless too… plus, they’re so lovely! I can’t thank you enough!
I’m so glad I found Advanced Skin. My skin looks and feels so much better thanks to my personalised skin care routine and monthly dermaplaning. The products she recommended are amazing and more ecological than the Clarins I used to use and they have made such a huge impact on my skin! They have also done an amazing job correcting my deep lip lines and large sun damage patches on my cheeks (which have bothered me for years).

I have no hesitation in recommending Advanced Skin, and the added bonus they’re hilarious and great to talk to!
I wanted to drop you a note as it has been 6 weeks since my online skin consultation with you. My skin has changed dramatically for the better, my acne has almost all but gone and my face now has a constant healthy glow. I can’t believe after all these years of trying expensive and ineffective products my skin is the best it has ever looked after chatting to you for just one hour – the best money I have spent in a very long time!

Thank You!
I had had plasma before at a different clinic but the results had been underwhelming. It just goes to show the difference the plasma pen makes in award winning hands though, as having it with Amber was a whole different story! Not only were the results immediate, but I couldn’t feel a thing throughout and better still her after care is second to none. No where else keeps such a close and caring eye on you with the perfect aftercare package coming as standard!

Thank you so much, Amber!
