TREATMENTS

OBAGI BLUE PEEL

The Obagi Blue Peel is used in conjunction with the Nu-Derm System to enhance and potentiate the anti-ageing effects on the skin. It utilises TCA (trichloroacetic acid) mixed with a non-ionic blue glycerin base that allows precise depth control. Richard has 12 years of experience with Obagi and now is the lead northeast ambassador for Obagi.

TESTIMONIALS

I have been seeing Richard for about 11 years. He is a complete professional and has a weight of knowledge about the procedures he uses. He advises as to what would be appropriate to do and administers his work in a way that is calm. I have no hesitation in saying that if anyone wants work done, talk to Richard and he will help. I have recommended him to others, all of whom have been delighted with the outcome.

FELICITY, JESMOND

Richard has a vast experience in his field which for me is why it was very important to book in with somebody who is greatly experienced in the cosmetic industry. His knowledge, manor and what he puts you at ease in his consultation was a very important factor in deciding to go ahead with a treatment, which i am very glad i did as i am very happy with the results.
