At our laser skin clinic near Hampstead, we don’t just offer laser treatments. We also offer a range of facial aesthetics, and our dermatologists are experts in identifying and relieving a range of skin concerns – such as through rosacea treatment.
Our skin is our body’s largest organ and will physically represent us and our lifestyle for the rest of our lives, but what about if we suffer from rosacea? Does this skin condition jeopardise our largest organ’s health? Contrary to what some people may believe, rosacea doesn’t actually affect the health of our skin, but it can become uncomfortable at times and can appear embarrassing or unsightly.
It’s the New Year and we’ve just entered some of the coldest and most miserable months of the year. Rates of depression are on their way up and the temperatures are on their way down. Are you ready for a holiday? If so, you’re not alone.
This is the time of year when newspapers and magazines advertise the benefits of a January sun holiday, far from the UK winter and post-Christmas come down. Could it be time for you to escape North London for warmer weather? If it is, you might be interested in our cutting edge laser hair removal treatment.
Rosacea is a skin condition that has lots of myths associated with it. It is believed that 1 in 10 people in the UK suffers with it to some degree, but despite its ubiquity, few people understand why it occurs, or how serious it can become when left untreated.
Here at our North London clinic we treat rosacea with laser treatment. This will improve the condition of your skin and give you more confidence in your appearance. Rosacea flares up when your skin is exposed to whatever triggers flushing; the most common symptom of rosacea. It might be hot or cold temperatures, skin care products to which you have a reaction, or certain foods.
If you’ve ever had a tattoo you now regret, you’re certainly not alone. According to numerous surveys, approximately a third of people who have had a tattoo go on to regret it at some point. Perhaps you had the name of an ex-partner written on your arm at a moment when it felt like you’d be together forever? Or, perhaps your design depicts a former club of which you once a member, or interest that now feels dated.
You wouldn’t believe the amount of hasty, spontaneous tattoos we see, all of which represented something meaningful at the time of their application, but may have taken just minutes for the wearer to realise that their embarrassing ink is permanent!
There’s a chance you might experience the odd single thread vein in your late thirties, or early forties, particularly if you drink a lot of alcohol, or sunbathe excessively. However, it’s when you reach your late forties and early fifties that thread veins have a tendency to proliferate. These spidery red veins, close to the surface of your skin, affect men and women.
As well as being unsightly, they can also be a tell-tale sign of how old you are, given that they are so frequently an age-related skin condition. It is logical then, that removing thread veins will make you look younger than your years. How many of them you have is often related to your genetics, but luckily our cutting edge thread vein removal techniques will rid you of each of them, one by one.
Summer is a time for holidays, sun and making memories with our loved ones. It’s also a time where we particularly strive to look our best, but when you feel insecure about wrinkles, lines or lack-lustre skin, it can stop you from feeling your most confident. There are things you can do to improve the general quality of your skin, but for effective, youthful results The Private Skin Laser Clinic offer Dermal Fillers.
You’d be surprised how many people are walking around London with a tattoo they regret. Every time they catch sight of it their heart sinks and it makes them miserable, because they’ve moved on and they’re not the same person who thought it would be appropriate to cover themselves in that particular design. For that reason they can either cover it up or seek laser tattoo removal, which is one of the most effective ways to remove unwanted tattoos.
Scars, whether due to injury, acne, surgery, or other means, can have a terrible psychological impact on those who have them. Getting a scar, particularly on your face, can alter the way you view your looks, lower your self esteem and decrease the confidence you have in your appearance.
To others your scar might be no big deal, but if it really bothers you, then there is plenty that can be done to remove it, or at least reduce how visible it is. Here at The Private Skin Laser Clinic in London we see scars of all sorts of sizes, some red, some flesh-coloured, some raised and some close to the skin. It’s unlikely that we won’t have seen, or treated a scar like yours before.
If you live in the North London area and you’re concerned about your skin, there’s a chance our expert team at The Private Skin Laser Clinic can help. We are located in the dermatology department of the Royal Free hospital and have many years of experience in providing safe and effective laser treatment for a large range of skin complaints.
If you’re reading this, you’ve probably just discovered your first facial thread vein and you’re wondering if the expert team here at our North London clinic can help? We can! Facial thread veins appear as tiny red streaks on the face, which are bright enough to resist being covered by subtle makeup and prominent enough to annoy us when we look in the mirror. We can remove them by exposing them to a laser, which will heat them out of existence.
Rosacea sounds like a harmless enough condition to those not familiar with it. So perhaps you eat something that triggers the condition and you blush? What’s the big deal – it goes away again. So perhaps you have a red rash on your skin after a hot shower or walk in the freezing wind? It only lasts a few minutes, can it really be that bad? Yes, it can be! For those who suffer from it, it can be deeply unsettling and upsetting.
Many people have tattoos that they later regret, or which grow to irritate them. Here at our North London clinic, we see tattoos of all different shapes, sizes and colours, with a view to removing them from people who have grown tired of them.
The success of laser tattoo removal treatment largely depends on each individual design and a person’s skin type, so to help you have realistic expectations of the treatment time and methods involved, we’ve put together a list of factors you need to bear in mind:
From Dermatological Surgery, March 2016:
Enlarged pores is a common cosmetic problem affecting the face of male and female individuals. Potential factors that contribute to enlarged skin pores include excessive sebum, decreased elasticity around pores, and increased hair follicle volume.
Because various factors cause enlarged facial pores, it is important to identify the underlying causes to be able to select the appropriate treatment.
Treatment options include topical and oral treatments to reduce sebum production, light and laser treatments targeting sebaceous glands or hair follicles and intradermal botulinum toxin injections.

WASHINGTON, DC — An investigational anticholinergic topical gel is safe and effective for the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis, according to results from a phase 2b study.
Sofpironium bromide (BBI-4000, Brickell Biotech) is one of several topical products currently being investigated in clinical trials, said David Pariser, MD, professor of dermatology at the Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, who is founding president of the International Hyperhidrosis Society.
