  • For as long as I can remember I’ve had ‘bad’ skin.

    I had breakouts as a teenager, and as I got older my skin became red and blotchy and I’d experience both dry patches and spots. I had all kinds of facials and tried all kinds of products and nothing seemed to improve my skin for any length of time. My skin being like this always knocked my confidence and sometimes got me really really down.

    I began to read more about skincare, tried some different things and started to see improvements. However something still wasn’t right so I figured I needed to learn exactly what I needed for my skin so I had a consultation with a top Aesthetician they told me things about my skin I had never been told before and it made so much sense. I made the changes suggested and my skin drastically improved over the following months.

    I was shocked no facialist i had seen had actually told me what was wrong with my skin. I had spent £1000’s over the years on facials and products in salons that i didn’t need. I thoroughly enjoyed my skin consultation, and found the science behind it so interesting…so this got me thinking, wouldn’t it be great to provide a service locally to help people understand their skin and how it works, to help them make better skincare choices, and receive treatments that are tailored to their skin needs. And so Waves Skin Therapy was born!

    My personal mission is to strive to be as well educated in the science of skin and skin treatments as I can, in order to pass this knowledge on to my clients. I have worked extremely hard to obtain the qualifications I have, and i am continually learning and working towards new levels of qualification.

    I hope that at Waves, I can help people in my community to learn about their skin and how to take care of it, and go on the achieve the best skin they can, and most importantly feel amazing about about their skin.

  • Looking to achieve truly healthy skin? Waves Skin Therapy will get you there.

    At Waves we don't believe in treatment menus. No two people have the same skin type, or skin condition so it doesn’t make sense to pick a facial for acne, or a facial for dry skin - what if you have both!? Everything we do at Waves Skin Therapy is bespoke – we take you on a journey tailored to your skin, your concerns and your goals.

    From our in depth consultations, through any treatments to our advice on home skincare, we take a holistic approach. Your physical and emotional health play a huge part in the condition of the skin so we help you understand this and support you in making any necessary changes to your lifestyle. 80% of skin health is achieved at home so it’s important to us that we arm you with all the knowledge you need to take care of your skin and enhance the results from treatments.

    We only use the very best devices and products that have been clinically proven to achieve real results. We don’t jump on any bandwagons or carry out treatments just for the sake of it - everything we do is science led and results driven. Even our relaxation treatments use cosmeceutical products and massage techniques proven to improve skin health.

    Skin is our passion and we love helping you to achieve your dream skin!
