The EQ Lift Philosophy — Beyond Traditional Treatments
A key highlight of Natasha’s presentation will be the EQ Lift, a comprehensive treatment philosophy developed through years of clinical experience treating complex ageing patterns.

 

Rather than addressing isolated areas, the EQ Lift approach evaluates the face holistically, focusing on:
  • Structural support and facial vector lifting
  • Collagen regeneration and skin quality improvement
  • Advanced tissue repositioning using minimally invasive techniques
  • Harmonisation of jawline, midface, temples, and periorbital regions
This integrated strategy allows practitioners to achieve full-face rejuvenation while preserving individuality — a principle central to Natasha’s clinical ethos.

 

Busting Myths Around PDO Threads
PDO threads remain one of the most misunderstood treatments within aesthetics, and Natasha has built a reputation for transforming industry perceptions through education and evidence-based practice.

 

During the masterclass, she will address:
  • Common misconceptions about thread lifts
  • Safety protocols and complication avoidance
  • Patient selection and anatomical considerations
  • Long-term collagen stimulation benefits
  • Why advanced technique makes the difference between average and exceptional outcomes
Her previous live demonstrations have been widely praised for challenging outdated narratives and showing the true potential of modern thread technology when performed by experienced clinicians.

 

Advancing the Future of Regenerative Aesthetics
Natasha’s work reflects a broader shift within aesthetics towards regenerative medicine and biohacking principles — combining techniques such as threads, energy-based devices, and regenerative injectables to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.

 

Her presentation emphasises:
    • Skin quality enhancement alongside structural lifting
    • Collagen and elastin stimulation
    • Non-surgical facial remodelling
    • Patient-centred treatment planning for longevity rather than quick fixes

A Re-Introduction to Natasha Gordana Murray Clinical Director of EQlibrium Clinic | Harley Street & Surrey Regenerative Aesthetic Specialist https://eqlibrium.co.uk/blog/a-re-introduction-to-natasha-gordana-murray-clinical-director-of-eqlibrium-clinic-harley-street-surrey-regenerative-aesthetic-specialist Tue, 24 Feb 2026 04:16:44 +0000 https://eqlibrium.co.uk/?p=4536 Introduction

For those discovering EQlibrium Clinic for the first time — welcome. I’m Natasha Gordana Murray, Clinical Director of EQlibrium Clinic, advanced aesthetic and regenerative specialist, and founder of EQlibrium Skincare. With clinics across Harley Street, Surrey and surrounding locations, I specialise in advanced, science-led aesthetic treatments designed to restore structure, stimulate collagen and optimise long-term skin health. Over the years, my work has been recognised within the aesthetics industry and featured in professional publications. However, beyond titles and recognition, my focus remains simple: delivering refined, structural and regenerative outcomes that enhance confidence without compromising natural identity.

Harley Street & Surrey Regenerative Aesthetics

Modern aesthetics has evolved beyond traditional filler-led approaches. True rejuvenation requires understanding anatomy, biomechanics and tissue biology. At EQlibrium Clinic, we take a structural, full-face approach to ageing. Ageing involves ligament laxity, fat pad descent, bone remodelling, collagen depletion and skin barrier changes. Rather than treating isolated concerns, we assess facial structure, tissue quality and long-term ageing patterns to create bespoke treatment plans tailored to each individual.

Signature Specialism: PDO Thread Lifting

PDO thread lifting remains one of my signature treatments. Threads act as collagen stimulators and structural scaffolding devices. PDO threads can lift jowls, redefine the jawline, elevate brows, restore mid-face support, improve neck laxity and enhance skin density through collagen biostimulation. Results continue to improve over time as collagen regenerates.

Signature Specialism: Exosome Therapy & Regenerative

Exosomes are another core specialism within my clinical practice and represent the future of regenerative aesthetics. Exosome therapy works at a cellular level by delivering powerful signalling molecules that support tissue repair, collagen and elastin production, improved skin quality, accelerated healing, reduced inflammation and enhanced longevity. Treatments may be used alone or combined with advanced procedures to optimise results.

Structural Facial Repositioning & Dermal Remodelling

Our philosophy centres around structural facial repositioning — restoring alignment rather than simply adding volume. Treatment plans may include PDO threads, exosome-supported regenerative protocols, polynucleotides, advanced dermal remodelling injectables and energy-based technologies to achieve natural facial harmonisation.

A Multidisciplinary Team Approach

While I lead the clinical vision at EQlibrium Clinic, we are supported by an exceptional team across several locations including medical prescribing practitioners, advanced aesthetic clinicians, laser specialists and nutritionists. Our nutritionists support collagen synthesis, hormonal balance, gut health, inflammation management and metabolic optimisation — because regenerative aesthetics is not only external, it is systemic.

EQlibrium Skincare

Alongside clinical work, I founded EQlibrium Skincare to bridge the gap between in-clinic treatments and daily skin optimisation. The range focuses on regeneration, barrier support and long-term skin health.

Your Consultation

Every journey begins with a personalised consultation assessing facial structure, skin integrity, ageing patterns and lifestyle factors. From there we create a bespoke plan designed to restore alignment with the strongest, most confident version of yourself. Appointments are available at our Harley Street and Surrey locations.

How to Treat Neck Wrinkles: Advanced Non-Surgical Neck Rejuvenation in Surrey & Harley Street London https://eqlibrium.co.uk/blog/how-to-treat-neck-wrinkles-advanced-non-surgical-neck-rejuvenation-in-surrey-harley-street-london Sat, 21 Feb 2026 09:58:53 +0000 https://eqlibrium.co.uk/?p=4491 Introduction
Neck wrinkles are one of the most common concerns seen in aesthetic clinics today. Horizontal lines, skin laxity, crepey texture, and visible banding can make the neck appear older even when the face remains youthful. At advanced aesthetic clinics in Surrey and Harley Street London, non-surgical neck rejuvenation treatments now offer highly effective solutions without the need for invasive surgery. By combining regenerative treatments, skin quality improvement, and structural support, it is possible to achieve smoother, tighter, more youthful-looking skin.

Why Neck Wrinkles Develop
The neck ages differently from the face due to thinner skin and constant movement. Common causes include collagen and elastin loss, sun damage, muscle activity from the platysma muscle, reduced hydration, and structural support loss beneath the skin. Understanding the cause of neck ageing allows practitioners to design personalised treatment plans that address both skin quality and underlying structure.

Medical-Grade Skincare for Neck Rejuvenation
Professional skincare is often the first step in treating neck wrinkles. Key ingredients include retinoids or bakuchiol for collagen stimulation, vitamin C antioxidants, peptides for skin repair, hyaluronic acid for hydration, and daily SPF protection. While skincare alone may not reverse advanced ageing, it enhances and maintains professional treatment results.

Skin Boosters for Neck Lines and Crepey Skin
Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to improve skin quality rather than change facial structure. Benefits include deep hydration, improved elasticity, smoother skin texture, reduction in fine lines, and natural-looking results. They are ideal for early to moderate neck ageing and often combined with other treatments for enhanced outcomes.

Wrinkle-Relaxing Treatments for Platysmal Bands
Muscle activity in the neck contributes to visible vertical bands and dynamic wrinkles. Muscle-relaxing treatments may soften neck banding, improve jawline contour, reduce tension in the platysma muscle, and create a smoother neck appearance.

PDO Threads for Non-Surgical Neck Lift and Skin Tightening
PDO thread treatments are among the most advanced non-surgical solutions for neck rejuvenation. They provide internal support, stimulate collagen production, improve skin firmness, and reduce sagging and horizontal lines. Strategically placed threads create a natural lifting effect while encouraging long-term regeneration.

Radio Frequency Microneedling for Neck Tightening
Radio frequency microneedling stimulates collagen at multiple depths, helping tighten and firm the skin. Benefits include reduction of crepey texture, improvement in fine lines, enhanced elasticity, and minimal downtime compared to more aggressive procedures.

Combination Treatments: The Modern Gold Standard
Advanced practitioners increasingly use combination approaches to achieve optimal results. Examples include skin boosters with RF microneedling for hydration and firmness, muscle treatments combined with threads for structural correction, and medical-grade skincare to maintain long-term results.

Conclusion
Neck rejuvenation has evolved significantly. Patients now have access to advanced regenerative treatments that restore skin quality, support structure, and improve overall appearance without surgery. Personalised treatment plans ensure natural-looking results tailored to each individual.

Aesthetics After Ozempic, Mounjaro & Wegovy: Managing Facial Volume Loss and Skin Laxity After GLP-1 Weight Loss Harley Street London & Surrey Regenerative Aesthetic Expertise https://eqlibrium.co.uk/blog/aesthetics-after-ozempic-mounjaro-wegovy-managing-facial-volume-loss-and-skin-laxity-after-glp-1-weight-loss-harley-street-london-surrey-regenerative-aesthetic-expertise Fri, 06 Feb 2026 06:23:00 +0000 https://eqlibrium.co.uk/?p=4186 GLP-1 medications including Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy have revolutionised medical weight loss worldwide. Patients are achieving significant health improvements and rapid body transformation — but alongside these benefits, aesthetic practitioners are seeing a new pattern of facial ageing linked to accelerated fat loss.

At advanced aesthetic clinics across Harley Street and Surrey, there has been a noticeable increase in patients seeking support for facial changes following GLP-1 medication use. These changes are often referred to in the media as “Ozempic face,” but medically they represent a combination of volume loss, tissue descent, and reduced skin elasticity.

Understanding these changes — and treating them correctly — requires a regenerative, structural approach rather than simply replacing lost volume.

What Happens to the Face After Ozempic, Mounjaro or Wegovy?

GLP-1 medications promote weight loss by reducing appetite and altering metabolic processes. However, rapid fat reduction affects facial tissues as well as the body. Facial fat compartments provide structural support, softness, and youthful contour. When fat reduces quickly, the skin may struggle to retract particularly in patients over 35 or those with reduced collagen reserves.

Common aesthetic concerns include hollowed or flattened midface, loss of cheek support, jawline softening or early jowling, deepening folds around the mouth, neck laxity and crepey skin, and a tired or gaunt appearance despite feeling healthier.

Why “Ozempic Face” Is Not Just About Volume Loss

A key misconception is that facial ageing after GLP-1 medications is simply a lack of volume. In reality, several factors occur simultaneously including fat pad deflation altering structural balance, ligament support weakening as volume reduces, skin elasticity struggling to adapt to rapid change, and collagen production already declining due to age.

This means that simply adding filler is rarely the correct first step. Overfilling can lead to heaviness, distortion, or an unnatural aesthetic outcome — particularly when the underlying skin quality and structural support have not been addressed.

The Modern Regenerative Approach After GLP-1 Weight Loss

A successful post-GLP aesthetic plan focuses on rebuilding, not masking.

Skin Quality First

Rapid weight loss often reveals underlying skin thinning or dehydration. Regenerative treatments help restore dermal thickness, hydration levels, elasticity and resilience, and natural glow and luminosity.

Biostimulation Rather Than Overfilling
Biostimulatory treatments encourage collagen regeneration over time, allowing subtle lifting and improved skin firmness without adding excessive bulk.

Structural Support and Strategic Lift
When necessary, carefully placed structural support can restore harmony to the face. This is not about replacing every gram of lost fat, but about supporting the midface, restoring jawline definition, and improving facial proportions.

Skin Tightening Technologies

Energy-based treatments play a powerful role in managing skin laxity after Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Wegovy weight loss. These treatments stimulate collagen contraction and long-term tightening.

When Should You Start Aesthetic Treatments After GLP-1 Medications?

Timing is highly individual. Regenerative treatments can begin during weight loss, while structural treatments are often best once weight stabilises.

The Future of Aesthetics in the GLP-1 Era

As GLP-1 medications become increasingly mainstream, aesthetic medicine is adapting rapidly. The future focuses on supporting skin health, stimulating collagen, and maintaining natural facial harmony.

Final Thoughts

GLP-1 medications have changed lives — but they have also changed faces. Addressing these changes requires expertise, restraint, and a deep understanding of facial anatomy, ageing, and skin biology. Aesthetic treatment after Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Wegovy should restore confidence without compromising natural beauty.

Can Skincare Lift the Skin on Its Own? https://eqlibrium.co.uk/blog/can-skincare-lift-the-skin-on-its-own Thu, 22 Jan 2026 09:20:27 +0000 https://eqlibrium.co.uk/?p=4108
Advanced anti-ageing skincare absolutely can create visible lifting effects. By strengthening the dermal matrix, improving collagen quality, enhancing elasticity and supporting cellular regeneration, skincare is capable of producing firmer, more supported, more contoured skin over time.
However, the most profound lifting transformations occur when regenerative skincare is used in conjunction with advanced aesthetic treatments.
Because in-clinic treatments actively stimulate change — and skincare determines the quality, strength and longevity of that change.

Why Skincare + Advanced Aesthetic Treatments Create the Strongest Lift
When corrective skincare is combined with exosomes, polynucleotides, skin boosters and thread lift techniques, we are able to influence the skin on multiple biological levels:
•Exosomes support cellular communication, tissue signalling and regenerative pathways.
•Polynucleotides improve skin quality, hydration dynamics and fibroblast activity, enhancing dermal strength and elasticity.
•Thread lifts provide mechanical support while stimulating collagen production and tissue remodelling.
•Regenerative skincare (including copper peptides GHK-Cu, bakuchiol, vitamin C, niacinamide and advanced hydrators) continuously supports the skin’s repair processes at home.
By improving the quality, strength and regenerative capacity of the skin, this combined approach frequently achieves such visible lift, support and rejuvenation that many clients are able to delay — and in some cases avoid — surgical intervention.
This is not one-dimensional aesthetics.
This is structural rejuvenation.

The EQLibrium Philosophy
At EQLibrium, skincare is never separate from treatment.
It is an integral part of every lifting and rejuvenation programme.
We use skincare to:
• prepare the skin
• optimise treatment responses
• accelerate recovery
• strengthen long-term outcomes
• and maintain lift, firmness and skin quality
This is how we build results that last — and skin that continues to improve.

Discover the Non-Surgical Alternative in London, Surrey and Hampshire

If you are searching for facelift alternatives, non-surgical facelifts, or PDO thread lifts in London,
Surrey or Hampshire, you are not alone.

At EQLibrium Clinic, led by Natasha Gordana-Murray and her specialist medical team, we are
recognised as leading experts in non-surgical facial lifting and regenerative aesthetics. We are
proud winners of Best Non-Surgical Facelift in the UK, reflecting our advanced techniques, clinical
outcomes, and commitment to natural, structural facial rejuvenation.

We treat our clients from our bases in Harley Street London, Chertsey and Weybridge in Surrey,
and Hampshire, welcoming patients from Portsmouth and the surrounding areas. Many of our
patients come to us believing surgery is their only option. What they often discover is that modern
advanced PDO thread lifting can, in the right candidate, deliver results that rival surgery, without
general anaesthetic, visible scars, or prolonged downtime.

What Does a Surgical Facelift Actually Do?

A surgical facelift is designed to reposition deeper facial tissues, remove excess skin, and reset
facial tension. It can be transformative and remains an excellent option in cases of advanced
ageing or significant skin excess. However, it also involves general anaesthetic, incisions, scars,
surgical risk, prolonged swelling, and weeks to months of recovery. For many modern clients, the
hesitation is not whether surgery works, but whether they are ready for everything that comes with
it.

The Rise of Advanced PDO Thread Lifting

Thread lifting today is not what it was a decade ago. Advanced PDO thread procedures are no
longer simple tightening treatments. They are structural, regenerative, and strategically designed to
reposition tissue, rebuild internal support, and stimulate your own collagen production.
At EQLibrium Clinic, Natasha Gordana-Murray and her clinical team perform advanced thread lifting
for patients from London, Surrey, Hampshire and surrounding areas. Our treatments are designed
to reposition descended fat pads, restore facial support, lift the jawline and cheeks, improve
lower-face contour, and strengthen skin structure while triggering long-term collagen and elastin
production.

Why More People Are Choosing Thread Lifts Instead of Surgery

For the right candidate, a PDO thread lift can often produce results that appear as impactful as
surgery while being far less invasive. Thread lifting allows facial lifting without general anaesthetic,
with minimal downtime, and without surgical scars. The skin is repositioned rather than removed,
preserving facial expression and identity. PDO threads also stimulate collagen production, meaning
the skin continues to improve in firmness, density, and quality for months after treatment.

Can a Non-Surgical Facelift Replace Surgery?

Sometimes yes, and sometimes no. Threads cannot remove large volumes of excess skin and
cannot replace surgery in very advanced ageing. However, in early to moderate laxity, advanced
PDO thread lifting can lift the jawline, restore cheek position, improve neck contour, rebuild internal
support, and dramatically improve skin quality. When performed by experienced practitioners,
results can be balanced, natural, and highly effective.

The Regenerative Advantage of PDO Threads

A facelift changes position. PDO threads change both position and tissue quality. Once placed,
threads act as a biostimulatory scaffold, stimulating collagen formation, increasing dermal
thickness, improving elasticity, and strengthening facial support structures. This is why many
patients say they not only look lifted, but healthier and more youthful.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Non-Surgical Facelift?

Thread lifting is particularly effective for people noticing early to moderate facial sagging, jowls,
jawline softening, or cheek descent, and who want lifting without surgery and minimal downtime.
Age is less important than tissue quality, facial anatomy, and realistic expectations.

Book Your Expert Consultation

If you are considering a facelift, the most powerful first step is not surgery, but a proper structural
consultation. At EQLibrium Clinic, led by award-winning practitioner Natasha Gordana-Murray and
her specialist team, consultations are designed to determine whether you are suitable for a
non-surgical facelift and how to create a long-term facial rejuvenation plan.

We proudly serve clients from our bases in Harley Street London, Chertsey and Weybridge in

Gentle PDO Thread Recovery and Aftercare https://eqlibrium.co.uk/blog/gentle-pdo-thread-recovery-and-aftercare Fri, 16 Jan 2026 07:17:51 +0000 https://eqlibrium.co.uk/?p=3971 PDO Threads Harley Street | PDO Threads London | PDO Threads Surrey

When clients search for PDO threads in London or PDO threads in Surrey, what they are often really looking for is not just a result, but reassurance. At EQLibrium, PDO thread treatments are designed to feel calm, comfortable, and carefully supported. Whether you are visiting us for PDO threads on Harley Street in London, or for PDO threads in Weybridge or Chertsey in Surrey, your experience is created to feel gentle, unrushed, and nurturing from beginning to end. PDO threads are often spoken about in a way that can sound intimidating. In reality, when performed by experienced practitioners, in the right environment and with thoughtful preparation, PDO threads can feel surprisingly comfortable and relaxed. At EQLibrium, we do not approach PDO threads as a harsh procedure, but as part of a regenerative journey designed to support the skin and the person.

PDO Threads in London and Surrey – a calm, comfort focused experience

From the moment you arrive, your comfort is our priority. Your skin is carefully prepared and numbed, the treatment is performed slowly and thoughtfully, and the entire appointment is structured to feel relaxed and reassuring. Many clients are genuinely surprised by how gentle their PDO thread treatment feels. PDO threads at EQLibrium are always carried out by experienced practitioners, with techniques focused on both results and comfort. Most clients leave feeling calm, well, and excited rather than sore or overwhelmed.

What recovery after PDO threads is really like

Recovery after PDO threads is usually far softer than most people expect. Your skin begins a natural settling and collagen building process. You may notice mild redness, slight swelling, tenderness, or small areas of bruising. Some clients feel a gentle tightness or awareness. These sensations are completely normal and temporary. For most clients, this stage fits easily around everyday life as the skin gradually softens and calms.

What to do after PDO threads – a gentle guide to healing beautifully

After your PDO thread treatment, your skin does not need anything complicated. It simply needs kindness, protection, and rest. Aftercare is designed to feel simple and nurturing. On the first day, cleanse gently, avoid rubbing or pressure, and use cool compresses if soothing. Avoid makeup and active skincare for the first 24 hours. Over the first week, allow the tissues to rest, avoid strenuous exercise, exaggerated facial movements, heavy chewing, heat exposure, and alcohol. Sleep on your back where possible and focus on hydration and gentle care.


Skincare after PDO threads

Use gentle cleansers, simple moisturisers, and the products in your aftercare pack. These support healing and reduce tenderness or bruising. Active products can be gradually reintroduced when advised. Daily SPF is very important to protect the skin and support healthy regeneration.

The following weeks – quiet regeneration

As the weeks pass, the skin continues to soften and strengthen. PDO threads encourage collagen production beneath the surface, allowing firmness, support, and skin quality to improve gradually. Strong facial massage and heat based treatments should be avoided in the treated areas until advised. You will be guided clearly on when other treatments can be safely resumed.

Your personalised PDO thread care pack

Every client receiving PDO threads in Harley Street, London or PDO threads in Surrey receives a full aftercare care pack. This is curated to soothe the skin, support healing, and minimise bruising or tenderness, allowing you to feel supported from the moment you leave the clinic.

Exceptional aftercare support for PDO threads

All PDO thread clients receive direct WhatsApp aftercare support, ongoing check ins, and video calls if ever needed. Whether you have PDO threads in London or PDO threads in Surrey, you are never on your own. Support is always available for reassurance, questions, or guidance.

PDO threads at EQLibrium – London and Surrey

We proudly provide PDO threads at Harley Street in London, Weybridge and Chertsey in Surrey, and Waterlooville and Portsmouth in Hampshire. If you are looking for PDO threads in London or PDO threads in Surrey and want an experience known for comfort, experienced practitioners, and exceptional aftercare, we welcome you to book a consultation. Your skin deserves expertise. But you deserve comfort too.

Bakuchiol vs Retinol: The Anti-Ageing Switch I’m Making as a Harley Street Leading Expert https://eqlibrium.co.uk/blog/bakuchiol-vs-retinol-the-anti-ageing-switch-im-making-as-a-harley-street-leading-expert Fri, 16 Jan 2026 07:07:04 +0000 https://eqlibrium.co.uk/?p=3966 For years, retinol has been crowned the hero of anti-ageing skincare. And yes — retinoids can transform skin.
But as a Harley Street leading anti-ageing expert, clinical director, and regenerative aesthetics specialist, I also see what doesn’t make it into glossy magazines.
Every week in clinic I treat skin that has been chronically inflamed, thinned and sensitised, trapped in redness cycles, struggling with pigmentation, and ageing faster because its barrier is broken.
Skin that’s been pushed — not supported.
And that is exactly why I’m now recommending a smarter, more skin-intelligent alternative: Bakuchiol.
Not as a natural trend. Not as a compromise. But as a new generation anti-ageing active that works with the skin’s biology instead of against it.
This is not about quick fixes. This is about skin longevity.

The Real Problem with Retinol

Retinol works by forcing rapid cell turnover. While this can improve lines and texture, it often comes at a cost: chronic inflammation, barrier breakdown, rebound pigmentation, long-term sensitivity, and accelerated collagen loss.
Inflammation is not rejuvenation. Inflammation is one of the fastest ways to age skin.
Yet so many people stay trapped in a cycle of damage, peel, repair, repeat. Great
short-term glow. Poor long-term skin health.

What Makes Bakuchiol Different

Bakuchiol is a plant-derived bioactive compound extracted from Psoralea corylifolia. Clinically, it behaves like retinol at a genetic level.
Studies show bakuchiol activates the same pathways responsible for collagen production, improved elasticity, wrinkle reduction, refined skin texture, and even tone.
But here is the difference that matters: it does this without triggering inflammation, without thinning the skin, and without damaging the barrier.
Instead of forcing change, bakuchiol signals regeneration.

Bakuchiol vs Retinol: What I See Clinically

Retinol often creates change through stress. Bakuchiol creates change through communication.
Bakuchiol upregulates collagen genes COL1A1 and COL3A1 and activates retinoic acid receptors in a far more skin-respectful way.
This makes it ideal if you struggle with retinol, have sensitive or reactive skin, are peri- or post-menopausal, experience pigmentation easily, invest in in-clinic treatments, or want long-term anti-ageing rather than short-term peeling.

What Bakuchiol Does for the Skin

Collagen without inflammation: Firmer skin, better elasticity, improved density, slower visible ageing.
Wrinkle reduction without irritation: Comparable wrinkle improvement to retinol with higher tolerance.
Brighter, more even skin: Improved tone, reduced sun and hormonal pigmentation.
Barrier repair and resilience: Less sensitivity, stronger, more youthful skin behaviour.
Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial action: Calmer skin, fewer flare-ups, improved clarity alongside anti-ageing.


Why Modern Anti-Ageing Is Moving Beyond Retinol Alone

The future of aesthetics is regenerative. We are no longer chasing peel-and-repair skin. We are building collagen signalling, barrier longevity, cellular communication, inflammation control, and consistent skin health.
Bakuchiol fits perfectly into this new era and integrates beautifully with RF microneedling, polynucleotides, exosomes and copper peptides.

Why Bakuchiol Is Now a Core Part of My Skin Philosophy

Every ingredient I recommend must earn its place in clinic.
Bakuchiol delivers visible anti-ageing results, stronger skin quality, better treatment outcomes, improved tolerance, and long-term resilience.
Which is why it has become a cornerstone of my advanced anti-ageing skincare approach across Harley Street, Surrey and Hampshire.
