I came here to receive medical Botox, for both bruxism (grinding of the teeth) and chronic headaches. I cannot fault the professionalism of the staff as well as how friendly they were! I’m scared of needles and was put at ease instantly. I highly recommend the usage of Botox for the easing of the symptoms I was experiencing. Thank you so much!

Thank you dr Farmah. After having underarm sweating treatment I am now a free man. I can wear whatever colour t shirt that I want. I don’t have to worry about taking other clothes with me or worrying if others will see my sweat patches. The treatment was painless and started working within 3 days. I’m hooked, no other deodorant or chemical product has changed my life so much.

Dr Farmah is a kind and honest medical professional to work with. He is honest about what treatments will help to address your concerned areas, and asks what you want to work on, and never suggests any area to work on unless you do, which I think is very kind. He doesn't make you feel that you have to do anything but is happy to help you feel comfortable with the areas you are unhappy with. I"m super happy with the derma fillers and botox that I had done with him.

After struggling all my life with heavy sweating I decided to try my luck with botox injection and is, without doubt, the best decision I have ever made. The procedure was painless and fast, every detail was explained to me beforehand, the staff was professional and extremely helpful. The results were noticeable after two days as the sweating decreased significantly and on the fifth day there almost no sweat at all. I couldn't be happier about the result and I will definitely continue the treatment. A big thank you to Dr Aesthetica for making my life so much easier!

Such a friendly team! They went out of their way to accommodate me with appointment times and explained the details of the treatment really clearly as it was the first time i'd had Botox. Results are really natural, and I'm thrilled with the results.

My account has come up under my uncles google account but this is my review; I went to dr aesthetica as I've always been self conscious about my nose which is quite bulbous and had no real definition I was wanted to look like my filter! Dr explained that filters are not a realistic image of beauty and that whilst he could improve my nose significantly a filter is not realistic. I went ahead and despite a little discomfort I must say tht my first impression was amazing ! Better than I expected my nose looked fantastic better than a filter and complimented my favs hugely. Today is the second day and I'm quite swollen so not looking as fantastic as I did yesterday but this is normal and can take up to two weeks to subside for you to get the full results of the liquid rhinoplasty. The service was lovely from both Dr and Steph. I'm looking forward to my swelling subsiding and taking pictures without the filters. I will keep updated about my progress and I must say if you are considering any non surgical procedure then please see dr aesthetica he cares about the patients happiness not the money and will advise you in the beat way possible prior to operating on you. Again I'm glad I made the correct choice. Miss Walker

What is dry skin?

What is dry skin

Dry skin is a prevalent condition whereby the skin fails to retain the sufficient moisture it needs. Even if your skin tends to be oily, you can develop dry skin from time to time. Common symptoms of dry skin include inflammation, itching, cracked, flaky or red skin.

What causes dry skin?

It’s important to note, dry skin can affect any part of the body. It can also be due to a number of factors, such as a pre-existing medical condition, changes in weather or diet, medication, and changes in skincare products. For example, a harsh detergent may strip oil and moisture off your skin and cause it to dry out. Researcher shows that in some instances, dry skin can be inherited. In rare cases, dry skin can be caused by an allergic reaction or eczema, and if left untreated, the skin may result in irritation, inflammation, and skin infections.

How do I take care of my skin at home? How do I prevent dry skin?

It is a good idea to avoid taking long hot showers/baths as they dry the skin further. Remember to pat dry and not rub the skin when drying so as to retain some moisture. Don’t forget to apply a good hydrating serum or moisturiser immediately after bathing.

Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water can also help ease dryness.

For dry skin, it is always best to avoid products that contain fragrance, alcohol, parabens or sulphates as this can dry the skin out further, causing irritation.

Hot, dry, indoor air can trigger dry skin and worsen itching and flaking. Using a home humidifier will add moisture to the air inside your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I keep my skin hydrated and moisturised?

Moisturising dry skin is not just about applying creams when you feel dry but also using the correct ingredients to attract moisture into the epidermis and keeping it there. AlumierMD has a fantastic range of products that do exactly that. They have humectant properties which means that they will help hold moisture in the skin and prevent it from drying out frequently. These products are rich in consistency and contain key active ingredients that are free from parabens, sulphates, phthalates, petrolatum, artificial fragrances and dyes. With AlumierMD, we can create a highly customised skincare treatment plan that will tackle dry skin and other skin conditions that you may have. Talk to one of our specialists today.

What’s the difference between Dry skin and Rosacea?

Rosacea is a chronic condition that presents as flushing or redness of the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin. On the other hand, dry skin can appear on any part of the body and appears as scaly, itchy skin. Rosacea is usually caused by genetics but can be easily aggravated by lifestyle choices and improper skincare. With Rosacea sufferers, the hydrolipidic barrier (protective film on skins surface made up of sebum, lipids, water and sweat) is impaired, making the skin sensitive; leading to redness and visible blood vessels. For example, chronic dry skin can compromise the hydrolipidic layer resulting in rosacea.

Professional Treatment for Dry skin?

Skin Peels offer an effective way to help restore hydration and maximise the moisture within the skin layers. Each Peel is hyper customised to your skin exact condition on the day of treatment. A light peel would help with surface-level problems of the skin, such as dry skin, and the procedure takes a very short time. It will rapidly work on removing dead, dry skin as well as cleaning out clogged pores. This leaves the skin clean, even-toned and glowing. There is also minimal downtime with Skin Peels, though all this will be discussed with you during the initial consultation with our skin specialist. We will also provide you with an aftercare kit post-treatment.
