What are your Skin Concerns ?
At Skindeep Aesthetics, we recognise that skin concerns can vary, including changes related to ageing, acne, pigmentation, sensitivity dehydration, and scarring. Our team is here to discuss the range of cosmetic treatments that may be considered to support overall skin health and improve the appearance of these concerns. Our focus is on providing appropriate treatment options within a professional setting, with an emphasis on maintaining and supporting skin quality over time.
Understanding Your Skin Concerns
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TREATMENTS ....
Skin concerns vary from person to person, but common issues include fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, scarring, rosacea, dehydration and loss of elasticity. Effective skin treatments are based on understanding individual skin needs and selecting appropriate, evidence-based solutions. Skin is incredibly diverse, varying in type, colour, texture and thickness based on genetics, ethnicity and environmental factors. Understanding these differences helps in choosing the right skin care, makeup and treatments for suitable skin health. Skin colour is determined by melanin, produced by melanocytes.
The Fitzpatrick Skin Scale is a clinical classification system used to categorise skin types based on how the skin responds to UV (sun) exposure — particularly how easily it burns or tans.
It was developed by Thomas B. Fitzpatrick and is widely used in dermatology and aesthetic medicine to guide treatment selection, laser settings, and risk assessment (e.g. pigmentation risk).
The 6 Fitzpatrick Skin Types
Type I
Very fair skin
Always burns, never tans
Type II
Fair skin
Usually burns, tans minimally
Type III
Medium skin
May burn, gradually tans
Type IV
Olive skin
Rarely burns, tans easily
Type V
Brown skin
Very rarely burns, tans easily
Type VI
Dark brown to black skin
Almost never burns
Another interesting factor about skin is its thickness and texture : Ethnicity palys a role in skin thickness, oil production and ageing patterns. - this all helps tailor skincare treatments.
Q. Have you really ever thought about what type of skin you have and what it needs?
Q.What is in the type of makeup and skincare you put on your skin & how this effects the Skin Barrier ?
These days we are over whelmed with choice - It's important to understand the ingredients in your products, as formulations can vary significantly. Makeup plays a big role in how our skin looks and feels, but the wrong formulas can weaken the skin barrier, leading to dryness, breakouts and irritation, Understanding different types of makeup and their impact can help you choose skin-friendly options.
