What it is
Skin at Lumière is dermatology-informed: a doctor who is qualified to tell a cosmetic concern from a medical one assesses your skin before any treatment is chosen. That is the difference between a skin clinic and a beauty business.
Treatment spans medical needling, regenerative treatments, clinical peels, laser and energy-based treatment for pigment, redness and texture, and LED — almost always as a planned course rather than a single session, and timed around your sun exposure.
Covers: Medical needling, regenerative treatments, peels, laser and energy-based treatment for pigment, redness and texture, LED.
Who it suits — and who it doesn't
It suits
- Pigmentation, sun damage or uneven tone
- Redness, visible capillaries or rosacea-prone skin
- Texture, scarring or dullness
- Anyone wanting a diagnosis before a treatment
It doesn't
- Anyone with an undiagnosed changing lesion — that gets examined first
- Patients expecting one session to fix a long-standing concern
What happens on the day
- 1Skin assessment with a doctor
- 2A written course plan, mapped to the season and your sun exposure
- 3Treatment sessions with our doctor or practice nurse
- 4Review and honest readout of response
Recovery and aftercare
- Peels range from no visible peeling to several days of shedding
- Needling causes one to two days of redness
- Laser after-effects depend on the target and are set out in your plan
- Sun protection is non-negotiable between sessions
Risks and what to expect
- Temporary redness, swelling or peeling
- Post-inflammatory pigmentation, especially in darker skin types
- Reactivation of cold sores with some treatments
- Any energy-based treatment carries a small risk of burns or pigment change — which is why settings are chosen conservatively and reviewed
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
