Lorraine's

Why choose Lorraine’s Skin & Laser Clinic?

There are lots of places you can go for a facial, a skin treatment or a beauty treatment. But I believe what makes Lorraine’s different is the person behind the treatment.

I’ve been working in the beauty and skincare industry since 1989, with over 37 years of experience, ongoing professional training and a real passion for helping people understand and look after their skin.

At Lorraine’s, you’re not simply booked in for a treatment.
I take the time to listen, assess and understand your skin, your concerns, your lifestyle and what you would genuinely like to achieve.
From there, I can create a treatment and homecare plan that is tailored specifically to you.

No one size fits all. No unnecessary treatments. No pressure to buy products you don’t need.
Just honest, professional advice and treatments chosen because I believe they are right for your skin and your goals.
I offer a wide range of advanced skin treatments including Dermalogica treatments, microneedling, nanoinfusion, IPL, peels, LED and other advanced skin technologies, alongside massage and beauty treatments.
And because Lorraine’s is my private, one to one clinic, you have my full attention from the moment you arrive.
It’s calm, discreet and personal.

My aim has always been to build a genuine relationship with my clients, so that you feel comfortable coming to me, confident in my advice and know that your skin is in experienced hands.

If you’ve been thinking about doing something for your skin, perhaps October is the month to start.
I’d love to welcome you to Lorraine’s Skin & Laser Clinic in Marlow.

Why I’m particularly excited about this event

I wanted to share a little more about why I’ve invited
Dr Othman to Lorraine’s this Friday.
Othman isn’t someone I’ve simply met professionally. He has personally looked after my smile and guided me through my Invisalign journey, and the difference it has made to my confidence has been huge.
So when we talked about bringing his facial aesthetics work to my clinic, it felt like a really natural collaboration.

This Friday, you’ll have the opportunity to meet Othman, find out more about Botox, dermal fillers, teeth whitening and cosmetic dentistry, and ask questions in a relaxed environment.
There will also be a live Botox demonstration, giving you the opportunity to see how he assesses different facial concerns and explains how treatments can be tailored to the individual.

Friday 2nd October
From 1pm onwards
19 Sunnybank, Marlow

There will also be exclusive event offers on selected treatments booked at the event.

If you’ve been curious about facial aesthetics but have never really known where to start, this is a lovely opportunity to come along, meet Othman and simply find out more.
Places are limited. Message me if you would like to join us.

There will also be a live Botox demonstration, so you can see first hand how he assesses different facial concerns and explains how treatment can be tailored to the individual.

Why an IPL consultation matters

IPL treatment isn't simply a case of turning up and getting started

Before carrying out IPL treatment, there are several important factors I need to consider.
IPL treatment needs to be tailored to the individual, and suitability can depend on a number of things.

Medication
Some medications can make the skin more sensitive to light, which may mean IPL isn't suitable or treatment needs to be postponed.

Recent sun exposure or a tan
Whether your skin has recently been exposed to the sun or has developed a tan is an important consideration before IPL treatment.

Skin tone and skin type
Different skin tones respond differently to IPL, so this needs to be carefully assessed when deciding whether treatment is suitable and which settings can be used.

Hair colour and hair type
For IPL hair removal, the colour, thickness and type of hair can all affect how well the treatment may respond.

Your medical history and individual skin concerns
Your health, skin history and the particular concern you would like treated all need to be considered too.

This is why I always carry out a thorough consultation before beginning an IPL course.
There is no one setting, treatment plan or approach that is right for everyone.

The more I know about your skin and your individual circumstances, the better I can assess whether IPL is appropriate and create a treatment plan tailored to you.

Did you know IPL isn’t just for hair removal?

When people hear IPL, they often immediately think of hair removal.

However, IPL can also be used to help improve the appearance of a number of skin concerns, including:

Pigmentation
Visible vessels and redness
Rosacea-related redness
Uneven skin tone
Some signs of photo-ageing
Acne and acne blemishes

At Lorraine’s Skin and Laser Clinic, I use the Lynton Excelight IPL system, which has different treatment heads designed to target different concerns.
The 650 nm treatment head is used for hair removal. Depending on an individual skin assessment, it may also be suitable for treating some darker skin types.
The 585 nm treatment head is used for vascular and pigmented concerns, including visible vessels, redness and some forms of pigmentation. It may also help improve the appearance of uneven skin tone.

IPL works by delivering controlled pulses of light into the skin. The wavelength, settings and treatment approach are selected according to the concern being treated and your individual skin type.

IPL is not suitable for everyone, and not every skin concern should be treated in the same way. That’s why consultation is so important.
I’ll assess your skin, discuss your concerns and decide whether IPL is appropriate for you, or whether another treatment would be more suitable.

As we reach the end of summer, it can also be a good time to start thinking about IPL, ready for the months ahead when sun exposure is lower.

Has summer made your pigmentation more noticeable?

You may have noticed that some areas of pigmentation seem darker or more noticeable after the summer.
Even when we’re careful with SPF, increased sun exposure can stimulate pigmentation, and it can become particularly noticeable after holidays, days at the beach and time spent outdoors.

You might be noticing:
Brown patches — areas of skin that appear darker because of increased melanin production. This can be caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation or previous skin injury.
Sun spots — small, flat areas of pigmentation that develop after repeated exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. They’re often more noticeable on areas such as the face, chest and hands.
Uneven skin tone — a combination of lighter and darker areas caused by differences in melanin production, sun exposure, inflammation, scarring or hormonal changes.
Pigmentation that seems darker than before — this can happen when UV exposure stimulates the skin to produce more melanin, or when existing pigmentation is affected by hormonal changes, heat or inflammation.

The first step isn’t necessarily to reach for another product or book a treatment.
It’s to understand what type of pigmentation you have and what may be contributing to it.

At Lorraine’s, I’ll assess your skin and discuss your concerns before recommending the most appropriate approach. Depending on your skin and the type of pigmentation, this may include professional skincare, peels or IPL treatments.

And of course, continuing to protect your skin with a good SPF is an important part of managing pigmentation.
If your skin looks a little different after summer, September is a lovely time to reassess it.

Could September be the month you start preparing your skin for advanced treatments?

When you’re considering an advanced skin treatment, the preparation beforehand is just as important as the treatment itself.
Whether you’re thinking about skin peels, IPL laser , Nano Infusion or Microneedling treatments, I always want to make sure your skin is in the best possible condition before we begin.

A strong, healthy and resilient lipid barrier helps your skin cope with treatments and can support better results.
That’s why I don’t believe in simply choosing a treatment and getting started. I assess your skin, your concerns, your lifestyle and how your skin is responding before deciding what is right for you.

Your treatment journey may involve starting with a gentler treatment and gradually progressing through different strengths and intensities as your skin becomes more prepared and resilient. Over time, we may be able to build up to more advanced treatments, always taking into account how your skin responds and what will be most suitable for you.
Sometimes we may start gently and build up over time. Other times, a different treatment may be more appropriate to begin with.

There really is no one-size-fits-all approach to advanced skin treatments.

My aim is always to get your skin prepared, comfortable and resilient, whilst working towards realistic results that are right for you.
If you’ve been thinking about starting an advanced treatment, September could be the perfect time to begin your skin preparation.

Sometimes the best treatment isn’t the one you had in mind

When you come to see me at Lorraine’s, I don’t believe in simply choosing a treatment from a list and getting on with it.
After all these years working with skin, I know that every person and every skin is different. We all have different skin types and concerns, influenced by our age, genetics, skin colour, lifestyle and the environment around us. What worked for you a few years ago might not be what your skin needs now.

That’s why I always like to take the time to properly assess your skin and have a chat with you.
I want to understand what is bothering you, what you would like to improve, what you have tried before and what fits into your lifestyle.

Do you ever feel like you don’t know what your skin needs?
My job is to look at your skin, listen to you and then advise you on what I genuinely feel is going to be most appropriate.
That might mean a treatment in the clinic, or it could simply be a change to your homecare routine. Sometimes doing less, or doing something differently, is exactly what your skin needs.

I’ve never believed in a one size fits all approach. We are all individuals, and our skin is individual too. I’d much rather take the time to get to know you and your skin and work with you to create a plan that is realistic, achievable and right for you.

Your skin is individual. Your treatment should be too.

What did summer do to your skin?

Summer might be coming to an end, but your skin could still be feeling the effects of everything it has been through over the last few months.
- Sun exposure - Heat - Flying and travelling - Beach holidays - Swimming in the sea or pool - Air conditioning - Changes to your usual skincare routine

All of these can leave your skin feeling - Dehydrated and tight - Dull and lacking radiance - More congested - More sensitive or reactive - Uneven in tone - And you may notice pigmentation becoming more visible.

And sometimes, after a holiday, we can mistake dehydrated skin for dry skin or think we need to add lots more products when actually our skin needs a little reassessment.

September is a great time to take a closer look at your skin and work out what it actually needs.
Whether that means a professional skin treatment, a change to your home care routine, or simply some advice on how to get your skin feeling comfortable and healthy again, that's where my personalised approach can make all the difference.

Your skin has had a busy summer. Now let's help it get ready for autumn.
