Micro needling , one of my all time favourite treatments, I like to think of it as banking my collagen.

Microneedling is one of the most powerful skin treatments out there — and the reason is simple: it works with your body, not against it
By creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin, microneedling activates your body’s natural repair system. This triggers the production of new collagen and elastin, the building blocks of firm, smooth, youthful skin.
No shortcuts. No artificial fillers. Just your skin doing what it was designed to do - heal, rebuild, and strengthen itself.

• Improves texture and tone
• Softens fine lines and wrinkles
• Reduces acne scarring and pigmentation
* Creates healthier, more resilient skin

Because microneedling relies on your body’s own collagen production, results look natural, improve over time, and continue long after your treatment.

Microneedling is not a one-and-done treatment
For best results, most clients need 3-4 microneedling sessions or more if treating deep scarring, spaced out over time. Why? Because microneedling works by stimulating your skin’s natural healing response - and collagen takes time to rebuild.
Each session builds on the last.
Improvements continue for months, not days.
Consistency is key.
And just as important as the treatments themselves is what you do between sessions, most importantly a good, consistent, home care routine.

When it comes to long term skin health, Micro needling isn’t just a treatment it’s an investment in your skin. ✨

I’m walking into the year new with a clear intention, to keep learning, keep evolving and elevating my skill set.
Education is my main focus this year so I can continue to offer the best and most effective treatments for your skin.

I’ve invested in training I’ve been looking into for the last year with some of the industries best mentors which enables me to help clients with their skin on a deeper level. Education fuels growth and your skin deserves nothing less.

We have a new treatment coming very soon and of course completing my home studio with a few finishing touches inside and completing the exterior and surrounding ground works over the next few weeks are at the top of my to do list.

Here’s to growth, progress and never stopping the learning journey.Excited for the year ahead and to treating your skin. 💕

Another beautiful winter bride from 2024 that trusted me with her skin in preparation for her big day. Mary began her skin journey seven months prior to her big day, giving us time to curate the perfect plan for her skin.

We began most importantly with a refined home skin care plan choosing products with ingredients that were essential to specifically treat Mary’s skin with what it needed to achieve her best skin.

We performed curated facials along with medical grade peels and a course of micro-needling, “AKA” collagen induction therapy to truly rejuvenate the skin on a deeper level. The results speak for themselves, a beautiful, radiant bride who was an absolute pleasure to work with.

As we only opened our doors, it was time to close them again for the festive break. I have been blown away with the support over the last few weeks from my old clients to the new faces that came into my new studio, from bookings, product purchases in clinic and online to purchasing vouchers for loved ones, it means the world to me that you choose my small business and I’m beyond greatful .

I look forward to what 2026 will bring and for another year of all things skin. Wishing you all a merry Christmas and prosperous 2026. Rachel 💕🥂

Re opening

It’s been the busiest 6 months I can remember but worth every minute. When we decided to build a home studio to achieve a perfect home life balance I thought it was a simple process and I’d be ready for opening doors in a few months, how wrong I was and how I completely underestimated how much there was to this project, especially when my hubby was doing it all himself.

Every weekend making progress and of course encountering a few stumbling blocks along the way, a lot of late nights finishing D.I.Y., painting, assembling, laying floors but with a couple of breaks in between to enjoy life, a trip to the big apple making memories with friends and back to the UK to spend time with family.

Lots still to do on the exterior which will be completed in January whilst the landscaping, planting of foliage and laying pathways will be into the spring whilst we await dry weather 🙏. I opened doors on Friday and it was so lovely to see familiar faces again and get back to what I love doing the most and I look forward to the new year and seeing lots more familiar faces and treating skin again.

Thanks as always for your continued support I’m forever grateful 💕

It’s already been 7 months since saying farewell to enjoy my maternity leave with my little love and how the time has flown. Thank you so much for the continued support with all of your online purchases, it’s so much appreciated.
With many of you now messaging me to ask how I’m getting on and when and if I’ll be returning to work, the answer is 100% yes. As a small business owner and working alone I’m grateful to how fortunate I am to of been able to have taken this long stretch of time off to enjoy with my family and our new arrival but I’m also now looking forward to getting back to what I love doing most which is “skin”.

Behind the scenes over the last few months I have been upskilling my qualifications and experimenting with new products, techniques and treatments. We are aiming to have our new skin studio ready for August in a brand new, luxury location but don’t worry we will still be based in Oughterard, only 5 minutes drive from our old location in the business centre. Again thankyou so much for all of your messages and kind words they truly are appreciated.

All existing clients will be notified when we have a definitive opening date and the diary is open for appointment bookings. Looking forward to seeing you all soon.
