Five Common Skin Care Mistakes
Skin care mistakes that are easily made There’s so much information out there telling us what we should and shouldn’t be doing, it can become
Would you love to to have more lifted and firmer skin, but don’t fancy the pain (or cost) of a face lift? Then you’ll love your HIFU Treatment, hailed the ultimate non surgical face lift treatment!
HIFU stands for HIGH INTENSITY FOCUSED ULTRASOUND. During your HIFU treatment, the ultrasound waves are targeting different layers of the skin, heating it to around 65 degrees (it’s very safe, more on that later!).
In response to the thermal stimulation, your skin contracts and tightens immediately. But the magic doesn’t stop there! The beauty of your HIFU treatment is that it continues to work long after you’ve left my clinic.
In response to the minor controlled trauma, your collagen and elastin production is stimulated within your skin. During this healing time, something called ‘dermal remodelling’ takes place, which helps your skin to become firmer, tighter and more lifted over the following 3-6 months.
HIFU can target the layer of the skin that plastic surgeons work on when they perform facelifts. This is why it’s a popular choice if you’re looking to target jowls, double chin, ‘ turkey neck ‘ or over skin laxity.
Your HIFU treatment can help you with specific areas. It’s a great treatment for a full non surgical face lift, but also to spot target specific areas of concerns on your face and body. Get in touch to book a complementary consultation at my clinic in Alton, Hampshire, right on the Surrey border.
Your safety is something I take very seriously! That’s why I use Lynton Focus Dual for your HIFU Treatment. Lynton are so trustworthy, that our own NHS use them! Their HIFU technology is no exception, with a Medical CE certificate, you can be confident that you’ll get excellent, clinically proven results, in a safe and relaxed environment.
Great care is taken throughout your appointment, and you’ll be given full pre and post treatment information. It is essential that you provide accurate health information, to ensure you’re not having treatment if you have a contraindication (you can see more on these below).
Would you like to transform your skin, both now and for the long term? Then you’ll love the combination of RF Microneedling and HIFU treatment together. Get ready to discover more youthful, lifted and glowing skin!
There’s a reason that the clever team at Lynton bought out the Focus Dual, which combines the power of HIFU wiht RF Microneedling. If you’re wondering about the powers of RF Microneedling, then Google Judy Murray’s skin transformation!
Combining RF Microneedling with HIFU will give you incredible results that will give you long term results.
Well, you can decide for yourself with this picture! My lovely client has had 2 IPL IllumiFacial treatments and this picture was taken just 4 weeks after her first HIFU session!
We have just started a course of RF Microneedling treatments to help improve the deeper lines, and then we will carry out another HIFU treatment to the face and neck.
These results speak for themselves – I love that these results are a combination of my amazing Focus Dual and 3Juve skin rejuvenation systems from Lynton Aesthetics! Combining these systems means that I can create entirely bespoke treatment packages, to help you achieve results you’ll really love!
I’m sure my client won’t mind me telling you that she’s mid 70’s – doesn’t she look absolutely incredible! There is NO makeup in the after picture (other than some lippy and mascara) and no filter!
Having a background in nutritional therapy means that I will work with you to support your skin from the inside out, during your treatment program.
Supplements are an incredibly helpful way to help boost your skin’s natural ability to produce collagen, support healthy skin cell production and reduce inflammation.
I recommend taking supplement during a course of treatments, as they help to ensure you achieve the best possible results. We will also talk about simple and sustainable lifestyle and nutrition changes that you can make, to help support your skin too. Working from the outside in and inside out will ensure you get the best possible results, both in the short and long term.
I prescribe Advanced Nutrition Programme supplements, as they are perfect for helping you achieve your long term skin goals.
These are the contraindications for treatment. Please get in touch to discuss if you answer YES to any of these.
• Open wounds or lesions on the face and/or neck inc active herpes
• Active acne on the face and/or neck
• Skin pigmentation problems (e.g. Melasma or Vitiligo)
• Pacemakers and electronic device implants
• Metal implants / piercings in the treatment area
• Heart conditions or cardiovascular disease

I have been passionate about skin (read ‘obsessed’) for the best part of a decade. Whilst I love products & treatments, I know that there is a lot more to beautiful skin than these alone.
As a qualified Nutritional Therapist, I know that what you put into your body is equally as powerful and effective as what you put onto your skin.
Being in my mid forties, I understand the challenges you have with your skin and I know how much it can affect your confidence. I would love to be able to help you achieve beautiful skin for life, in a simple and enjoyable way.
I know that sometimes the thought of making changes to our routines and lifestyle can be daunting, but I promise you there’s nothing radical here, it’s about helping you to create small, incremental changes for the long term. I have nearly 15 years experience as a coach, helping individuals to achieve their goals, so rest assured I will be there to help you through your transformation.
I have a small boutique clinic in Alton, Hampshire – which is right on the Hampshire / Surrey border. Farnham is only 10 miles in one direction, and Basingstoke around 11 miles in the other direction. I am also at the end of the line for direct trains in from London Waterloo (takes around 1 hour and 10 minutes). There is extremely cheap parking right around the corner and I’m a 5 minute walk from the train station.
My clinic is private and by appointment only, so you can be confident that it’s just you and I in my clinic. Please get in touch if you’d like to know more, or you can book a complementary Zoom consultation online. I look forward to supporting you on your skin transformation journey. Kindest, Nikki
