Results
Real skin. Real consent.
Results are personal, so we show them carefully: only our own patients, only with their written permission, and never retouched. Here is what we show, how to judge any before-and-after photo, and what your own result will depend on.
Before & after
Our gallery is being put together, one consent at a time.
We are gathering photos from patients who have agreed in writing to share them. Instead of filling this space with stock pictures or computer-made faces, we would rather show nothing until it is real.
Until then, these pages explain what each concern usually needs and what to expect:
How to read a before & after.
A photo can flatter skin without the skin changing at all. Switch on the tricks below and watch the “after” improve while the skin stays the same. Then use the same eye on any results you see, ours included.
Fair comparison. Same light, same angle, bare skin: what changed is the skin itself, and the change is modest and real.Now part of the difference is the camera. The skin is exactly as it was a moment ago.Most of this “result” is the photo, not the treatment. This is why we never edit or filter our pictures.

Our photo standards
Six rules every photo must pass.
If a picture fails any one of them, it does not go on this page.
Written consent
Every photo is published only with the patient’s signed permission, which they can withdraw at any time.
Same light, same angle
Before and after are taken in the same room, light and position, so the comparison is fair.
No editing, no filters
Photos are cropped for privacy and nothing else: no retouching, smoothing or colour tricks.
Treatment and sessions named
Each case says what was done, how many sessions it took and how far apart they were.
Identity protected
Faces are cropped to the treated area unless the patient chooses otherwise.
Typical, not exceptional
We show cases that reflect what most people can expect, not only our best ones.
What your result depends on.
Two people can have the same treatment and different results. At your consultation the dermatologist will talk you through what is realistic for your skin, including when a treatment is unlikely to help.
- 01
Your skin
Skin type, tone and how your skin heals all shape both the plan and the result. Brown skin needs settings chosen to avoid pigment rebound.
- 02
The concern itself
Shallow pigment fades faster than deep melasma; rolling scars respond differently from ice-pick scars. Depth and age matter.
- 03
The full course
Most treatments work over several sessions spaced weeks apart. Stopping halfway usually means a halfway result.
- 04
Care between visits
Sun protection, prescribed creams and avoiding picking or waxing make a real difference, especially with pigment and acne.
