Skin Concerns
At Skinology, we understand that every person's skin concerns are unique. That's why we offer a range of approaches to address various skin problems. Whether you're dealing with acne, sun damage, or signs of ageing, we have a solution that can help.
Most common skin concerns
Uneven skin tone is a very common concern and can show up in many ways, from sunspots and patches of pigmentation to marks left behind after breakouts (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). It can also include areas of dryness, rough texture, or fine lines where the skin doesn’t reflect light evenly.
There are many reasons why skin tone becomes uneven. Sun exposure, hormones, genetics, inflammation, and even daily environmental stressors like pollution can all play a part. While the causes may vary from person to person, the good news is that uneven skin tone can be safely and effectively improved with the right treatment plan.
Our Approach.
The face, hands and chest are often the first areas to show signs of ageing and pigmentation because they are exposed to sunlight every day. That’s why prevention—especially daily SPF—is key.
At Skinology, we look at the type, depth and cause of your pigmentation to create a tailored plan. Depending on your needs, we may recommend laser treatments, targeted skin therapies, or medical-grade skincare to deliver the best possible results.
We use the M22 Stellar IPL and ResurFX, considered the gold-standard technologies for treating pigmentation and uneven skin tone. M22 IPL targets sunspots, redness and discoloration, while ResurFX stimulates collagen and resurfaces the skin to improve texture, tone and overall clarity.
Often, combining treatments gives the most effective and long-lasting results
Treatment Options May Include:
-
M22 Stellar IPL – Ideal for sunspots, age spots, redness and general pigmentation on the face and body.
-
ResurFX Laser Resurfacing – Treats uneven tone and texture while boosting collagen for brighter, smoother skin.
-
Targeted Laser Pigmentation Removal – Treats individual dark spots with precision.
-
Chemical Peels – Great for overall sun damage and dullness on the face, hands, chest and body.
-
Fraxel Ablative Laser – Treats both deep and superficial pigmentation while renewing overall skin quality.

Years of sun exposure without proper SPF protection can lead to unwanted brown spots, sunspots, age spots, and freckles on areas like the face, neck, chest, and hands. Pigmentation occurs when the skin produces excess melanin, often due to sun exposure, genetics, hormonal changes, or simply the natural ageing process.
Pigmentation can appear as age spots, freckles, darker patches, or general uneven skin tone, and while it’s very common, it can affect confidence and make skin look older or duller than it is.
Our Approach
At Skinology, we tailor each treatment plan to your skin type and pigmentation concerns. During your consultation, we assess the depth, location, and type of pigmentation to recommend the most effective treatment for you.
We use M22 Stellar IPL and ResurFX, the gold-standard treatments for pigmentation, for safe, effective, and long-lasting results. M22 IPL targets sunspots, freckles, and other discoloration, while ResurFX resurfaces the skin, improves texture, and boosts collagen for a brighter, more even complexion.
Often, the best results are achieved with a combination of treatments, supported by medical-grade skincare and daily SPF to protect your skin and maintain results.
Treatment Options May Include:
-
M22 Stellar IPL – Treats sunspots, freckles, age spots, and general pigmentation on the face and body.

Enlarged pores are a common concern and are usually caused by two main factors:
-
Excess Oil Production – People with oily skin have more active sebaceous glands. The more sebum these glands produce, the more likely pores are to appear larger or become clogged.
-
Ageing Skin – As we age, collagen—a key supporting structure in the skin—naturally diminishes. Without enough collagen, pores lose support and can appear enlarged, making the skin look less smooth.
Pores are essential for healthy skin, allowing oils and other substances to be released. However, excess sebum, clogged pores, and reduced skin elasticity can contribute to blackheads, whiteheads, and the visible appearance of larger pores.
Our Approach
At Skinology, we tailor treatments for enlarged pores based on your skin type and concerns. Your journey usually begins with medical-grade skincare that you can use at home to target blocked and enlarged pores. Products with active ingredients like retinol and glycolic acid help reduce pore size and maintain results after treatment. We offer a range of exclusive medical-grade brands, including Obagi and SkinCeuticals.
In-clinic treatments can enhance these results:
-
Obagi Blue Peel Radiance – A professional peel that improves texture, refines pores, and boosts overall radiance.
-
M22 Stellar IPL – Helps improve skin tone and texture, reducing the appearance of enlarged pores while targeting underlying pigmentation and redness.
-
ResurFX Laser – Stimulates collagen production, tightening pores and improving overall skin smoothness.
Often, combining professional treatments with a consistent medical-grade skincare routine gives the most effective and long-lasting results.

Age spots—also known as liver spots or sunspots—are flat, brown, or black areas that typically appear on sun-exposed areas such as the face, hands, shoulders, and chest. They are most often caused by years of cumulative sun exposure, but genetics, hormonal changes, and natural ageing can also play a role.
While age spots are harmless, they can be frustrating and make the skin appear older or uneven in tone. The good news is that modern treatments can dramatically improve their appearance, helping you achieve a smoother, more even complexion.
Our Approach
At Skinology, we assess the type, location, and depth of age spots to create a tailored treatment plan for your skin. Combining professional treatments with medical-grade skincare gives the best long-term results.
We use M22 Stellar IPL and ResurFX, considered the gold-standard treatments for pigmentation:
-
M22 Stellar IPL – Targets sun-induced pigmentation, including age spots, freckles, and redness, for a more even skin tone.
-
ResurFX Laser – Stimulates collagen, resurfaces the skin, and reduces the appearance of spots while improving overall texture.
-
TCA Chemical Peel – A professional peel that lightens pigmentation, refreshes the skin, and improves clarity.
-
Medical-Grade Skincare – Professional products, including Obagi and SkinCeuticals, help maintain results and prevent further pigmentation from forming.
Often, a combination of treatments provides the most effective results, targeting both surface and deeper pigmentation while enhancing overall skin health.

Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes redness, flushing, visible blood vessels, and sometimes small bumps or irritation, typically on the face. While the exact cause is not fully understood, triggers can include sun exposure, stress, hot drinks, spicy foods, and environmental factors.
Our Approach
At Skinology, we take a careful and gentle approach to treating rosacea. Repairing the skin barrier is the first and most crucial step before any in-clinic treatments, including IPL. A compromised barrier can make rosacea worse if the skin is exposed to aggressive treatments too early. We use medical-grade skincare products to calm inflammation, strengthen the skin barrier, and reduce sensitivity.
Once the skin barrier is healthy and stable, we use M22 Stellar IPL, which is highly effective in treating persistent redness and visible blood vessels without aggravating the skin.
By combining medical-grade products with IPL, we achieve long-lasting improvement in skin tone, reduce flushing, and restore a calm, balanced complexion.
Visible red veins and broken capillaries are common concerns that can appear on the face, particularly around the cheeks, nose, and chin. They are caused by weakened blood vessels, sun exposure, hormonal changes, ageing, or skin sensitivity. While harmless, they can be frustrating and affect the overall appearance of your skin.
Our Approach
At Skinology, we focus on gentle, effective treatments to reduce visible veins and restore a smoother complexion. Repairing and maintaining a healthy skin barrier is essential before any in-clinic treatment. A strong, calm skin barrier reduces the risk of irritation and ensures your skin responds well to therapy.
We treat red veins and capillaries using:
-
M22 Stellar IPL – The gold-standard treatment for vascular concerns, IPL targets and reduces visible blood vessels while improving overall skin tone without damaging surrounding tissue.
-
Medical-Grade Skincare – Calming and barrier-repairing products strengthen the skin, reduce redness, and prevent flare-ups.
By combining IPL with the right skincare, we can improve the appearance of red veins and capillaries, leaving your skin looking calmer, clearer, and healthier.

Acne is a common skin concern that can affect people at different stages of life. It occurs when excess sebum combines with dead skin cells, blocking pores and creating the perfect environment for inflammation. Sebaceous glands naturally produce sebum to moisturize and protect the skin, but when overactive, they can contribute to breakouts.
Acne can range from mild whiteheads and blackheads to more severe inflammation, where the skin appears red, irritated, or raised due to bacteria trapped in blocked follicles.
Symptoms of Acne
There are several types of acne:
-
Cystic Acne – Deep, painful nodules that can lead to scarring.
-
Hormonal Acne – Caused by overproduction of sebum regulated by hormones.
-
Fungal Acne – Caused by yeast or candida buildup in hair follicles, often itchy or inflamed, commonly appearing on the face, chest, back, or neck.
Our Approach
At Skinology, we start by assessing your skin and recommending a tailored treatment plan. The foundation of treatment is medical-grade skincare, designed to be used at home between treatments and after your course of acne therapy to maintain clear skin and prevent future breakouts.
Professional treatments we offer include:
-
Chemical Peels (Salicylic or TCA Peels) – Target blocked pores, reduce inflammation, and improve skin texture. The choice of peel depends on the severity and type of acne and will be discussed during your consultation.
-
M22 Stellar IPL – The gold-standard laser for acne scarring, IPL can reduce redness, minimize scars, and improve overall skin tone and texture.
By combining professional treatments with medical-grade skincare, we can control active acne, prevent future breakouts, and minimize scarring, leaving your skin clearer, smoother, and healthier.

Fine lines and wrinkles are often the first visible signs of ageing. They commonly appear as crow’s feet around the eyes, laughter lines, frown lines, forehead lines, nasolabial folds (nose-to-mouth lines), and lip lines.
At Skinology, we offer a range of advanced treatments to address your specific concern areas. Whether your goal is to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles or restore lost volume, our experts will create a bespoke treatment plan tailored to your skin and goals.
As we age, collagen and elastin levels naturally decline, causing a loss of elasticity, fullness, and the youthful appearance of skin. Repeated facial movements such as smiling, frowning, or laughing can cause creases to form and deepen over time. Combined with the natural weakening of skin, these factors contribute to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
Our Approach
We specialise in delivering advanced anti-ageing treatments designed to smooth, firm, and rejuvenate the skin. Our treatments are FDA-approved and personalised to ensure optimal results for your unique concerns.
We use a combination of professional in-clinic treatments and medical-grade skincare to target both surface lines and deeper structural changes, helping to restore a youthful, radiant appearance.
