What Dermatitis do I have?

Atopic dermatitis is the most common type of dermatitis, and it typically appears in childhood. It is characterized by dry, itchy, and scaly skin that can become red and irritated when scratched. The exact cause of atopic dermatitis is not known, but it is thought to be related to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Contact dermatitis is caused by direct contact with an irritant or allergen, such as a chemical, soap, or fragrance. It typically appears as a red, itchy rash where the skin came into contact with the irritant or allergen. Seborrheic dermatitis is a type of dermatitis that affects the scalp, face, and chest. It is characterized by red, scaly patches of skin that can be itchy and flaky. The exact cause of seborrheic dermatitis is not known, but it is thought to be related to an overgrowth of a yeast that lives on the skin.

How Dermatitis is Treated?

Treatments for dermatitis depend on the type and severity of the condition. Topical creams and ointments that contain corticosteroids, antibiotics, or anti-fungal medications can be effective in reducing inflammation and itching.

Questions people ask before booking

Is the consultation really free?

Yes. About 40 minutes, in person, in London, Birmingham or Manchester. You leave with a written plan and the price. No obligation.

How much will it cost?

It depends on what your skin needs. Your figure is written into your plan at the free consultation, before you decide, and there are flexible instalment options with no interest or admin fees.

How many visits, and how long?

A standard course is three to six visits over six to ten weeks. If there is a date you are working to, count back ten weeks and tell us.

Does it hurt?

Most treatments feel like warmth, tingling or a quick sting rather than pain, and numbing cream is used where it helps. The practitioner tells you exactly what to expect for your treatment before you decide, and you can stop at any point.

How many visits will I need?

It depends on the treatment and on your skin. Many plans are three to six visits over six to ten weeks; some single treatments are one visit. Your written plan says the number before you pay for anything.

When will I see a difference, and how long does it last?

Some treatments show a change within days; those that work by building collagen take six to twelve weeks to show fully. How long results last depends on the treatment, your skin and how well it is protected from the sun. The practitioner gives you a realistic timeline rather than a promise.

What is the downtime?

Anything from none to a few days of redness or peeling, depending on the treatment. Each treatment page says what to expect, and the plan is timed around your diary where it matters, for example before an event.

Is it safe for darker skin?

Darker skin has more active pigment cells and marks more easily, so settings and treatments are chosen for your skin type and some are avoided. Tell us your skin type at the consultation and the plan is built around it.

Who should not have it?

Pregnancy, some medications, active infections and certain medical conditions rule some treatments out. The consultation goes through this with you, and if a treatment is not suitable the practitioner says so and suggests what will work instead.

Can I combine treatments?

Often, and the programmes are built that way. The order matters: active acne is calmed before scarring is treated, for example. The practitioner sets the sequence.
