SCI-U Clinic

Sebaceous filaments aren’t the enemy, but they don’t have to be the main event either ❌

Those tiny dots across your nose? Completely normal. They’re sebaceous filaments natural structures that keep oil moving to the skin’s surface, not blackheads (I know right!)

Here’s the bit most people don’t realise: extractions won’t get rid of them. They refill, because they’re simply part of how your skin works. So the goal isn’t to eliminate them, it’s to minimise their appearance and keep your skin balanced long term. 🤗

That’s exactly where we come in. Through treatments like HydraFacial, skin boosters and a tailored home care plan, we target oil regulation, pore congestion and texture at the source, so results actually last, rather than resetting every few weeks.

DM us “SKIN” and we’ll help you build a plan around what your skin actually needs 🤍

RF microneedling is not one size fits all. And more aggressive does not automatically mean better. 👀

At Sci U, we are selective about the technology we use, because different devices behave differently in the skin, especially when treating concerns like pigmentation, redness, melasma, inflammation, texture and long term collagen health.

Sylfirm X is the world’s first and only dual wave RF microneedling device, FDA cleared to deliver both pulsed wave and continuous wave radiofrequency.

That combination allows it to address collagen stimulation and skin texture, as well as the vascular and inflammatory pathways that many traditional RF microneedling devices are not built to target. 🎯

Why does that matter. Concerns like redness, rosacea, melasma and reactive skin are often deeper than the surface. Treating them aggressively without considering inflammation can create more instability, not less. 🤌🏼

This is also why sequencing matters. At Sci U, Sylfirm X is rarely treated as a standalone treatment. It is integrated intentionally within a wider skin strategy, alongside healing windows, barrier support, regenerative treatments, laser and structural work, because long term skin quality is built through cadence, not chaos.

The goal is not simply stronger treatment. It is smarter, sequenced treatment.👏

Loss of jawline definition. Increased facial hair. Breakouts that appear for the first time in your 40s. Skin that suddenly feels thin and reactive.

These are all menopausal skin changes driven by hormonal shifts, and all of them respond to clinical treatment.

At Sci U, we offer menopausal skin assessments that identify what is changing and build a treatment plan around it. 🤗

Menopause changes your skin before it changes anything else. Falling oestrogen levels lead to collagen loss, dehydration and reduced skin elasticity, which is why so many women notice their skin feeling different years before they connect it to menopause itself.✨

We treat menopausal skin with a combination of Profhilo, skin boosters and polynucleotides to restore hydration and skin quality, alongside PRP and medical microneedling to stimulate the collagen production your skin naturally slows down during this stage. 💉

Every treatment plan is tailored to your skin’s individual needs, rather than a one size fits all approach.

If your skin has changed and you are not sure why, book a consultation with us in Wilmslow and we will talk you through the right combination of treatments for you. 📲

Postpartum hair loss can feel overwhelming, especially at a time when your body is already going through so much change 😪

It is driven by the sharp drop in oestrogen after birth, which pushes hair follicles that were held in a longer growth phase during pregnancy into shedding all at once, usually most noticeable between three and six months postpartum 🤰

At Sci U, we start with a full consultation and blood testing to check for the deficiencies commonly linked to postpartum shedding, including iron, ferritin, vitamin D and thyroid function, alongside a scalp assessment to understand what is driving the loss 🧬

From there, we build a tailored plan that may include PRP hair restoration to stimulate follicle activity and support regrowth, alongside guidance on nutrition and weight management, since rapid postpartum weight changes can extend or worsen shedding.

One thing we always tell our mums: do not skip washes out of fear of losing more hair. Shedding happens regardless of how often you wash, and infrequent washing can affect scalp health and slow recovery.

Rosacea affects around 10% of the population, yet the majority of sufferers have never had a clinical assessment 😮

They have been managing symptoms rather than treating the condition.

This is what a full clinical rosacea treatment plan at Sci U looks like, from first consultation to final result. 🧪

Every plan starts with a proper skin assessment to identify subtype, whether that is the persistent redness and visible vessels of vascular rosacea, or the papules and pustules of inflammatory rosacea. Treatment is built around this diagnosis, not applied as a blanket protocol.

In clinic, we use the Cytoceuticals Rosagate Professional Treatment Kit, a targeted system developed specifically for rosacea. A functional solution is applied and left to absorb, calming the overactive immune response behind flushing, redness and breakouts, followed by a leave on mask that seals in barrier repairing actives. Clinical data shows erythema control (flushing depth, frequency and duration) improving by over 40% after a course of treatment, alongside a marked increase in hydration and reduction in water loss. 🧫

Where broken capillaries and vascular damage are present, this is paired with Mandelic acid peeling, the only Mandelic acid licensed specifically for vascular rosacea, to strengthen blood vessel function and prevent further vessel damage.
Results continue to build for weeks after the course ends, and most clients return for a further round around three months later, with control extending each time. 🧬

Combined with a tailored at home routine, this is rosacea treated at the root, not just the redness covered up.

Hormonal acne typically appears along the jawline, chin and lower cheeks 😪

It flares cyclically, often in the week before a period, or worsens during perimenopause. No cleanser is going to fix a hormonal driver!

At Sci U, we treat hormonal acne at the source, not just on the surface. Our clinical protocols combine medical grade microneedling to regulate oil production and calm inflammation, professional skin treatments to rebalance congested, cycle affected skin, and ongoing skincare prescribing tailored to hormonal fluctuation, not a generic routine.

But skin rarely tells the whole story on its own. Hormonal acne is often a signal from the gut. Through our partnership with Nourish, we go beyond the treatment room.

Working alongside Sarah, SARAH GRIFFITHS | GUT | HORMONES | ROOT CAUSE | ADULT & CHILD our in house gut health expert, we offer microbiome and DNA testing to identify what’s actually driving the inflammation internally, whether that’s gut dysbiosis, blood sugar imbalance or nutrient depletion.

Healing the gut lining and rebalancing the microbiome reduces the systemic inflammation that shows up on the skin, so the results from your in clinic treatments last 🧬

This is what treating the cause, not the symptom, actually looks like at Sci U.
