4–6 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart are common, depending on the treatment type and skin condition.

Yes, when performed by certified dermatologists using FDA-approved technology, treatments are completely safe.

Absolutely. The goal is to refresh and enhance natural features, not drastically change your appearance.

Most procedures have little to no downtime, allowing you to resume daily activities the same day.

If only one intervention were possible, a prescription retinoid combined with daily SPF 50 would deliver the most evidence-backed anti-ageing benefit. Tretinoin has decades of research demonstrating its ability to stimulate collagen production, accelerate cell turnover, reduce pigmentation, and improve skin texture. SPF prevents the UV damage that drives roughly 80 percent of visible facial ageing.

Preventive skincare — retinoid use, sun protection, antioxidant application — can start in the early to mid-twenties when collagen production begins its gradual decline. Professional treatments like microneedling or light chemical peels are appropriate from the late twenties to early thirties as early signs of textural and tonal change appear.

Costs vary depending on the specific treatments included and the number of sessions required. A basic programme focused on skin quality — retinoid prescription, a series of peels or microneedling sessions, and SPF — is considerably less expensive than a multi-modal protocol that also includes fillers, neuromodulators, and laser.

When treatments are selected and dosed correctly, the result should look like well-maintained skin — not like someone who has had work done. At Claire Derma, our dermatologists follow a philosophy of gradual, balanced improvement. Volume is restored to match your natural facial proportions rather than creating exaggerated features. Neuromodulators are dosed to soften lines while preserving movement.
