Cosmeceutical Skin Regime

Good skin care should be a baseline treatment for everyone

If you suffer from problems relating to acne, rosacea, sun damage, sensitive skin, or you just want to look after your skin, then very often proper skincare should be the first place to look, as it offers an effective and cost-effective option. It is never too early or too late to benefit.

Skincare is very often our first recommendation for anyone with problem skin or a skin condition, and we frequently treat successfully long-standing problems that have not responded to traditional NHS treatments. Skincare is cheaper and safer, and often more effective than options like laser and peels.

From our experience there is no question that a good skincare regime can make a world of difference to how your skin looks, feels and behaves, and is often overlooked in this world of quick fixes.

Our Ranges

ZO Skin Health

ZO Skin Health is now our preferred choice for the majority of clients as it offers excellent results for a wide range of conditions. We  have offered these products for many years and the benefits of the ZO approach have been genuinely life-changing for many of our patients.

CellDerma

CellDerma is an advanced skincare line based on the latest scientific research and backed by clinical studies.

It is a potential ‘treatment in a bottle’ where just 1-2 products can achieve remarkable transformative results on a range of conditions and concerns.

CellDerma range

obagi logoObagi Medical Products offer the Nu-Derm range and the CRX range – see sections for further detail.

We have used these very successfully since we opened our clinic in 2003. However, in recent years, we have found that ZO Medical and ZO Skin Health products offer a more flexible and cost-effective alternative and allow us to treat a wider range of problems.

Most of our clients that were previously using Obagi Nu-Derm are now happily using ZO Medical products.

We do still have a few patients that continue with the Nu-Derm regime – if you are using it and wish to continue doing so we can advise and supply you with these. However there may be a case for looking at less aggressive alternatives if you have been using it for some time. If you are using Nu-Derm and would like advice on the ZO equivalent alternatives please get in touch and we will be happy to advise you.

obagiThe Obagi Nu-Derm range was developed over 20 years ago by Dr Zein Obagi, a dermatologist from Beverley Hills. There have been some recent modifications to the range that have made the system simpler and more cost-effective.

There is evidence from clinical trials that shows that people who use Obagi Nu-Derm gain better results from any other cosmetic treatment they may have done, whether it is BOTOX, fillers or laser.

obagi-crxOBAGI CRX is a range that offers protection in a younger age group who are seeking to look after their skin before signs of sun damage and ageing start to occur.

How to Choose Prescription Skincare

Skincare FAQ

There is now convincing scientific data that shows that certain prescription-only skincare treatments, in the correct formulation, applied to the skin regularly really do make a difference in the short and long term.

Prescription skincare can be used for as a very effective anti-ageing programme, starting at any age.

Clients who’ve struggled for years with conditions including acne problems or rosacea have found that the right skincare can make a dramatic difference.

An appropriate skincare regime is now our preferred treatment for a number of problems as it is in fact more effective and more cost-effective than other options.

Even if laser treatment proves effective many skin conditions will recur after treatment. It therefore makes sense to have an ongoing programme which can both treat the initial problem and offer continuing protection.

Skin peels range from a pleasant lunchtime treatment which will give a short term brightening effect, to a full-on treatment that will give a major improvement but is likely to require 7 or 10 days off work for recovery. This makes a tailored skincare regime a better choice for most people. We generally expect to deliver results that are much better than a light peel, and often as good or better than deeper peels, but with fewer side-effects.

If necessary one or a series of peels can be used to boost or accelerate the results we can achieve with skincare.

Once the skin problem has been improved and the intended benefit has been achieved, we can review the regime and develop a maintenance treatment programme to prevent recurrence of the problem.

Usually people we see have tried all sorts of (often very expensive!) creams over the counter or internet before coming to see us, so this is a common and understandable question.

The products used here are available on prescription only due to the potency of ingredients, so by definition have a proven effect and will be unlike anything you will have purchased previously.

For us the real proof of effectiveness is the number of people who start using prescription skincare and within a few weeks their mother / daughter / sister contact us asking for the same treatment!

If you want photographic evidence of what is possible book a consultation and we can show you examples of real people we have treated who have kindly allowed us to use their photographs as part of the consultation process.

Mulberry House Clinic offers a number of cosmetology options to suit the needs of all skin types. We are very happy to go through which are likely to suit you best at an individual consultation.

Of course the answer depends on what you have been using up to now. We are interested in helping you look after your skin and will advise on cost-effective ways of doing so.

For general skincare you are likely to find that it will cost a little more than you are used to but the results should be more than worth the difference.

For treatment of more complex issues such as acne the cost can be more, but still less than most alternatives. Once we have gained control of the problem the cost of ongoing maintenance is usually modest.
