I’m frequently asked 'what are the best treatment combinations available at the moment?’   One of my favourite combinations is by combining Polynucleotides around the eyes with Botox.   Polynucleotides can be used to treat the quality of the skin around the eyes and helps with the fine lines, with Botox being used to help relax the muscle that goes around the eyes.   By combining both treatments, you are able to achieve a really nice non-surgical result that improves the appearance of the eyes.   #dermatology #mythbusting #skincareadvice #skinadvice #education #ama #botox #polynucleotides #antiageing

I’m delighted to announce that Dr Ophelia Ltd. has been awarded 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒/𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 at the Corporate LiveWire Global Awards.

It's always been instilled in me that it was very important to contribute to society, whilst doing what you're good at.   During my time at the London teaching schools I decided I wanted to do dermatology mainly because the skin is so accessible.    Every patient is different and no two days are ever the same - It's also hugely rewarding due to the impact skin conditions have on people's psychological health.   #dermatology #skincare #ama #education #skincareeducation
