Amba Morris, a mother of two and up and coming health and beauty blogger, visited Dr. Warner’s Oxfordshire clinic, Skin Solutions Oxford, for acne treatment recently and has been smiling ever since.

After giving birth to her two children, Amba found that her skin became significantly oilier, her pores were enlarged and she experienced very sore breakouts. As an adult, Amba had not previously suffered with problem skin making her condition that much more troubling and harder on her self-confidence.

While there is no such thing as an overnight solution, Dr. Warner was confident that Amba’s acne would respond well to a combination of CosMedix skin care products and bespoke treatment.

Having tried other cosmeceutical lines and products including face peels, it was a huge relief for Amba to be told that something would finally work on her skin, especially after having previously suffered reactions to growth factors and vitamins A and C.

Amba's Treatment Programme

Cleanser: CosMedix Purity Clean Exfoliating cleanser

Dr. Alison Warner’s wide range of medical aesthetic skin peels help a variety of skin conditions like Amba’s, as well as sun damage, lines & wrinkles and pigmentation problems. Carefully selected for the best possible results, the non-invasive peels create as little to no downtime.

Promoting healthy skin restoration, the peels stimulate collagen production through the skins natural healing process.

Feedback - Amba

“I love the peels”, commented Amba. ”They don't leave your skin heavily peeling or bright red, they gently do their job. It is a bit of pain being bright orange with the Purity Peel but I have had worse looking fake tans, and if you’re clever, you can plan to do them at the end of the day so you don't have to be seen. Once you wash the peel off it’s so simple to carry on the treatment at home. The post peel kits are great; they give you everything you need and are not massive bottles so nothing is wasted.”

“The Pure Enzymes exfoliating mask is my ultimate choice” says Amba. “It really removes dead skin cells but without the harshness or grains and grit of my previous exfoliates. These just resulted in irritating my skin and dragging the bacteria from my spots around my face.”

Since being treated by Dr Warner, Amba’s skin has changed dramatically. Now less oily, her pores are smaller, she has minimal breakouts and her acne scars are slowly fading.

Amba explained, “I definitely feel more confident, and when I apply makeup it is not taking as long to hide the imperfections. I am so happy with my skin now.”

Amba’s best advice to those with skin issues is not to try too much at once, but to work one or two products and be conscious that using less is really more! She said, “Dr. Warner approaches your skin care concerns with honest advice – no harsh sale. She makes sure that you know that your skin won’t change overnight, but a course of targeted treatments and correct home care can help discover what works best for each skin type. Dr Warner even rings you 24 to 48 hours after the treatment to ensure there are no complications, and to discuss how you want to approach your new skin care regime. The power and control is given to you, and there is nothing more reassuring that that.”

Feedback - Dr. Warner

Dr. Warner was delighted with the results of the treatment. She said, “Amba and I worked together to decide on a series of suitable products, with our final selection to use the Purity Peel then Timeless Peels. For the homecare regime I recommended Purity Clean, Purity Balance, Clarity Serum, Mystic, Serum 24, Pure Enzymes and Reflect SPF 30 products. This was the best treatment outcome for Amba.”
