A reminder that skin health is healthcare.

Your skin isn’t just surface level; it’s a living organ, and, therefore, a reflection of your general health.

Skin function is driven by cellular health, hormones and metabolism, and when these systems are under strain, your skin will tell the story.

From inflammation and pigmentation to loss of collagen and impaired healing, cosmetic correction alone cannot override that biology.

Thrive prioritises biological change over cosmetic camouflage. Our work starts by addressing the underlying metabolic and hormonal factors contributing to your skin concerns.

From there, we provide a specialist-led medical assessment, an evidence-based home care protocol, and an in-clinic treatment plan that aligns with your skin’s needs.

Our aim isn’t to freeze or fill. It’s to nourish the skin and improve cellular health as part of a long-term, sophisticated approach.

If you're seeking care that reflects that, this approach may be right for you.

Perimenopausal skin deserves thorough assessment, not guesswork.

As oestrogen fluctuates, the skin’s structure, hydration and repair mechanisms all shift. This is often why products and treatments that once worked reliably can begin to underperform, or may suddenly cause irritation.

In this stage, skin shouldn’t be treated with trial and error. It requires medical assessment before moving on to treatment, so decisions are based on physiology, not assumptions.

For many patients, the priority isn’t a single in-clinic procedure.
It’s understanding where the skin is now and creating a plan that can adapt as hormones continue to change.

Perimenopause isn’t a moment. It’s a transition.
And effective skin care during this time is about long-term planning over ad-hoc treatments.

If you’d like to explore a personalised approach for your skin during perimenopause, you can book a consultation with Dr Grant by sending us a DM with the word “Consult”.

The facial combination that does more than just hydration.

HydraFacial™ is often thought of as a “hydrating facial,” but clinically, it’s far more than that.

Using patented vortex-fusion technology, HydraFacial deeply cleanses and exfoliates while simultaneously extracting debris from pores and infusing targeted serums.

This controlled, vacuum-assisted extraction is often more effective than traditional manual or surface-level facials, making it exceptional for pore management and monthly maintenance.

In our clinical experience, however, HydraFacial™ may be most effective when combined with heat in the form of our Low Energy Laser treatment.

This combination can offer:

✔️ Superior exfoliation and pore extraction.
✔️ Gentle thermal stimulation to support collagen production.
✔️ Reduction in pore appearance and pigmentation over time.
✔️ Improved texture and overall skin resilience.

This treatment pairing is ideal for patients focused on proactive age management, particularly those wishing to avoid synthetic injectables.

DM us with the word "CONSULT" to book your HydraFacial™ consultation with Dr Grant this January.

Hormonal skin vs ageing skin. What’s the difference?

If your skin suddenly feels different, more sensitive, reactive or breakout-prone, it may not be “just ageing”.

Skin changes tend to occur through two different pathways.

One is hormonal.
Fluctuations in oestrogen, progesterone and androgens can affect the skin barrier, oil production and inflammation, sometimes quite suddenly.

The other is chronological ageing.
A slower process involving gradual collagen loss and reduced cellular turnover over time.

These pathways often overlap, but they don’t behave the same. And they don’t always respond to the same treatments.

Understanding why your skin is changing is the first step to supporting it properly. This is where medical oversight matters, guiding care that works with your skin’s biology rather than overwhelming it.

Your skin tells a story. The right treatment starts by listening.

If you’d like support in understanding what’s driving your skin changes, send us a DM with the word CONSULT.

Concerns around lower-face laxity are common from our 40s onwards, particularly around the jowl area.

For many patients, the goal isn’t dramatic change, but subtle structural support without committing to more intensive pathways.

UltraClear™ is one of the non-surgical laser options we may consider when skin laxity is related to collagen loss rather than surface texture alone. Using mid-infrared fibre technology, it allows for precise control over treatment depth and coverage, enabling a targeted approach in areas such as the lower face and jawline.

At Thrive Skin Clinic, UltraClear™ is never a default recommendation. Every treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess skin quality, anatomy, recovery tolerance, and whether this modality is appropriate for the individual.

Where results are shown, they reflect a personalised, longer-term treatment plan that may involve multiple modalities, not a single procedure.

Outcomes develop progressively as collagen remodelling occurs, and suitability varies between patients.

Images shown were taken 12 weeks apart. Results vary between individuals.

To learn more about UltraClear™ and whether it may be suitable for your skin, send us a DM with the word ULTRACLEAR to receive our information guide.

3D Miracl™ sits in the space that many patients are looking for.

Between no-downtime facials and high-downtime ablative lasers.

It’s designed to support collagen stimulation and skin strengthening without the prolonged recovery associated with more aggressive treatments. This makes it a good option for those wanting visible results without stepping away from daily life.

3D Miracl™ is also valuable for collagen banking.
From our late 30s onwards, collagen preservation becomes increasingly important, with levels dropping significantly in the years surrounding menopause.

Supporting collagen while oestrogen levels are still present can make a meaningful difference to long-term skin health.

If you’d like to discuss whether 3D Miracl™ is appropriate for your skin, send us a DM with the word CONSULT to arrange your January assessment.

Laser Genesis works differently to ablative lasers.

Rather than creating controlled injury on the surface of the skin, it delivers gentle heat to the deeper dermal layers. This thermal energy stimulates fibroblast activity, supporting collagen production and microcirculation without compromising the skin barrier.

Over a series of treatments, patients may notice improved texture, reduced redness, refined pore appearance, and a gradual strengthening of the skin’s structure.

Laser Genesis is particularly well-suited to reactive or barrier-compromised skin, and for patients who prefer a low-downtime, supportive approach. It also works beautifully as a foundational treatment before progressing to more intensive modalities such as UltraClear™.

This isn’t about dramatic change. It’s about working with your skin’s natural repair processes, at a pace it can comfortably tolerate.

To learn whether Laser Genesis is appropriate for your skin, send us a DM with the word LASER or book a consultation via the link in bio.

Vitamin A is one of the most evidence-backed ingredients in skin health, but results aren’t determined by retinol alone. They’re shaped by how it’s formulated.

What matters most is delivery, dose and stability.
A well-designed formula allows Vitamin A to reach the skin gradually, supporting collagen renewal and cellular turnover without overwhelming the barrier.

Medical-grade stabilisation and a skin-compatible pH help maintain consistent performance, while barrier-supportive ingredients improve tolerance and reduce irritation.

This is why Synergie’s Vitamin A serums are designed to deliver results without the harshness that often discourages long-term use.

Why consistent care is the path to healthy skin.

Glowing skin is rarely created in one appointment, but it can be built through consistent care.

Collagen remodelling, barrier strengthening, and cellular renewal all occur gradually, not overnight. When treatments are sporadic, progress can stall.

Monthly treatments are effective because they support the skin as it’s designed to function; building on results rather than starting over.

At Thrive, we follow a structured approach:

✔️ An intensive phase (every 2 weeks for 12 weeks) to nurture the skin, restore the barrier, and address active concerns.

✔️ Followed by monthly maintenance to support and maintain skin health.

The Luxury Facial Membership is our long-term skin health strategy. Our Signature facial combines Synergie Skin professional treatments, lymphatic drainage and facial massage, gentle laser and Healite LED.

Every journey begins with an individual plan and gentle progression to more active treatments over time, supported by consistent care from your clinician

Laser Genesis is often misunderstood as a one-off treatment. In reality, it’s designed for skin that needs calm, consistency, and time.

It works by gently targeting haemoglobin within dilated capillaries, encouraging gradual vessel remodelling and supporting collagen in the upper dermis. This helps reduce redness while strengthening the skin over time.

Because the process is progressive, Laser Genesis is delivered as a series rather than a single intensive treatment. For vascular and reactive skin, consistency matters more than intensity.

This is why Laser Genesis often forms part of an ongoing treatment plan within our Luxury Facial Membership. This structure supports regular care, continuity, and skin health over time.

If you’d like to understand whether Laser Genesis or our Luxury Facial Membership is appropriate for your skin, send us a DM with the word CONSULT to arrange a comprehensive assessment.

Perimenopause can change how your skin behaves, sometimes quite suddenly.

For many women, perimenopausal skin can feel unfamiliar; suddenly reactive, breakout-prone or inflamed. This unpredictability isn’t a failure of your skincare; it’s a reflection of a natural hormonal fluctuation.

During perimenopause, hormones don’t decline in a straight line. They fluctuate, sometimes dramatically, and skin concerns are a response to this.

✔️ Fluctuating oestrogen patterns:
Oestrogen supports collagen, hydration and barrier function. Hormonal fluctuations can lead to sudden dryness and loss of skin firmness.

✔️ Progesterone decline:
Lower progesterone reduces the skin’s calming influence, often increasing sensitivity and redness.

✔️ Shifts in testosterone levels:
As oestrogen and progesterone fluctuate, relative androgen activity may increase, stimulating sebum production and contributing to a breakout of adult acne.

✔️ Cortisol dysregulation:
Chronic stress and disrupted sleep can elevate cortisol, amplifying inflammation and worsening conditions such as rosacea.

Perimenopausal skin is, by its nature, inconsistent. Understanding this biology is the first step toward supporting it effectively. This is where Thrive specialises.

Our 12-week Holistic Skin Programme is designed to address both the internal and external drivers of change, supporting concerns such as inflammatory acne and barrier disruption.

Niacinamide is one of the most reliable ingredients in clinical skincare.

It’s well tolerated, versatile, and supports several skin functions at once, which is why it’s a foundation ingredient in many treatment plans.

It helps strengthen the skin barrier by supporting ceramide production, reducing unnecessary water loss and sensitivity.
It also assists with oil regulation, helping pores stay clearer without stripping the skin.

For reactive or acne-prone skin, niacinamide plays an important role in calming inflammatory pathways and reducing redness.
It also helps regulate pigment transfer within the skin, supporting a more even tone over time.

At a cellular level, niacinamide supports NAD+ production, which is essential for repair and healthy skin ageing. This becomes increasingly relevant as our natural repair capacity slows.

This is why niacinamide isn’t a “trend” ingredient. It’s a foundational one.

In clinic, Synergie Skin Vitamin B is often my serum of choice because it’s consistently tolerated and clinically formulated to support real skin function.

If you’d like guidance on how to use niacinamide appropriately within your home-care routine, send us a DM with the word CONSULT.
