Skin Concerns

Sensitive Skins

Sensitive skin is a common issue but not a medical diagnosis in itself. The term generally refers to skin that is more prone to inflammation or adverse reactions. People with sensitive skin may have strong reactions to chemicals, dyes, and fragrances present in products that come into contact with the skin.

The term generally refers to skin that is more prone to inflammation or adverse reactions. People with sensitive skin may have strong reactions to chemicals, dyes, and fragrances present in products that come into contact with the skin. Sometimes, a person may have ‘naturally’ sensitive skin with no underlying health condition.

In this case, their skin will become irritated more easily. Many experience irritation after exposure to:

  • Sunlight
  • Heavy winds
  • Very cold temperatures
  • Very hot temperatures 
  • The symptoms of sensitive or reactive skin may appear in numerous ways, including:
  • Rashes or hives
  • Patches of redness
  • Breaking out
  • stinging or burning sensations, with or without noticeable changes in the skin
  • sunburns

Treating sensitive skin typically involves finding and eliminating any triggers, as well as using home remedies or prescription medications to treat symptoms. There are a number of treatments at The London Skin Clinic for those with sensitive skin.

Langham Luxury Hydration Facial

This luxury hydration treatment uses ultrasonic technology combined with negative ions to deliver bio-nutrients from our luxury skincare deep into the skin’s dermal layers. Tired, dry and dull skin is transformed into supple, hydrated, silky smooth skin.

Oxford O2 Facial 

Oxygen is nature’s most powerful healing element and has been used in the medical industry on various skin concerns for many years. It was introduced in the aesthetic industry in the 1990’s. The unique difference of our oxygen treatment apart from the oxygen being medical grade (more effective) is the serum we have developed. A vitamin enriched formula with high percentages of important micronutrients that leave the skin looking years younger.
