Welcome — I'm Karen. Let's take proper care of your skin.

I spent twenty-five years studying facial anatomy before I ever picked up a needle — so my advice is honest, my results are subtle, and if you don't need a treatment, I'll tell you. It all starts with a free consultation: a conversation, not a commitment.

Anti-wrinkle treatment

30 minReview at 2 weeks

Small, precisely placed doses soften the muscle activity behind expression lines — forehead, frown and around the eyes — while leaving your expressions themselves alone.

Karen's approach is deliberately conservative: enough to soften, never enough to freeze. Results appear gradually over one to two weeks and typically last three to four months.

This is a prescription-only treatment: it requires a consultation and is subject to prescriber approval.

Common questions

Will I look frozen?

No — the aim is softening, not stopping. You'll still move, smile and frown; the lines just won't dig in.

Does it hurt?

Most clients describe a small scratch lasting seconds. No numbing needed.

Why do I need a consultation first?

It's a prescription-only medicine, so a face-to-face assessment is a legal requirement — and it's how Karen makes sure it's actually the right treatment for you.

Microneedling

60 minCourse of 6 available

Thousands of controlled micro-channels prompt your skin to rebuild itself — recruiting fresh collagen to improve tone, acne scarring, pore size and fine texture.

Best results come as a course: most clients book six sessions, four to six weeks apart. Buy the course upfront and the price per session drops — and every session earns points.

Price

£120per session · course of 6: £600

Downtime24–48h redness

Course interval4–6 weeks

Points✦ 120 per session

Common questions

Does it hurt?

Numbing cream goes on first — most clients feel warmth and vibration rather than pain.

What will I look like after?

Pink to red for a day or two, like mild sunburn. Most clients are back to normal skincare within 48 hours.

When will I see results?

A glow within a week; the structural improvements build over the course as new collagen forms.

Polynucleotides: why everyone's asking about them

Karen McBarrons · August 2026

If you've heard the word "polynucleotides" lately and nodded along without knowing what it meant — you're not alone. It's the treatment I'm asked about most this year, so here's the honest version.

What they actually are

Polynucleotides are purified DNA fragments that act as a signal to your skin: repair, hydrate, rebuild. Rather than adding volume the way a filler does, they improve the quality of the skin itself — elasticity, texture and tone.

That makes them particularly good where skin is thin and tired-looking. The under-eye area is the classic example: somewhere filler can easily look wrong, but where better skin quality makes a genuine difference.

Who they suit

Anyone whose concern is "my skin looks tired" rather than "I want this line gone". They're a course treatment — usually two or three sessions a few weeks apart — and the results build gradually and look entirely natural.

They're not for everyone, and at your consultation I'll tell you honestly if something simpler would serve you better. That's the whole point of starting with a conversation.

Curious whether polynucleotides are right for you?
