Clinical Articles & Insights
CellDerma
In this article, I explore the science behind CellDerma's barrier-first approach to skin health and why supporting the skin barrier is fundamental to achieving healthy, resilient skin. I discuss the role of chronic inflammation, barrier dysfunction and how these underlying processes contribute to concerns such as acne, rosacea, skin sensitivity and premature skin ageing.

Shaping Perception
In this article, I explore how aesthetic medicine extends beyond physical appearance to influence confidence, self-perception and the way we are perceived by others.

Loss of Biological Synchrony in Skin Ageing
