Skin hydration consultations in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham

When your skin feels dry or looks less supple, it helps to understand what is causing the change. At LUMEN in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, Marie will assess your skin and talk through your routine before discussing whether the clinic’s skin hydrator treatment could be suitable.
Understanding your skin
Dryness can be influenced by skincare, weather and the condition of the skin barrier.
Some concerns need medical assessment rather than an aesthetic procedure. Your consultation is a chance to explore the cause and consider the most appropriate next step.

Your questions answered
Questions, answered.
Is this the same as a moisturiser?
That depends on the treatment offered. Ask Marie to explain how the clinic’s method differs from topical skincare and why it might be considered.
Is a skin hydrator different from a skin booster?
These terms are sometimes used for similar treatments. The meaningful distinction is the product, technique and intended use, which Marie will explain.
Will treatment resolve persistent dry skin?
An aesthetic treatment cannot be assumed to resolve dryness or an underlying skin condition. Marie may recommend skincare changes or medical advice instead.
