“I always look forward to my appointments at Skinsation. The facials are so relaxing and I always leave feeling refreshed. Leanne is very knowledgeable and friendly. She puts me at ease about any skin concerns I come to her with and working with her on my skin programme these last few months I’ve been seeing great improvements :)”

“Martina and the girls gave me perfect skin for my wedding. The make up artist even said she never saw a bridal party with such good skin . Martina gave me a day and night routine to stick to along with treatments to make my skin glow . The Dermalux treatment is my favourite thing in the world now. Thanks so much to the team in skinsation!!”

"I had my first IPL treatment done with Leanne recently in Skinsation. She had me totally at ease and i was not worried about a thing. She was very knowledgeable about the treatment & answered all my questions. I just cant get over that all the thread veins that were present on my nose and surrounding areas have disappeared after my first IPL treatment. I would definetly recommend Skinsation and Leanne to my family & friends. Looking forward to my next treatment 🙂🙂"

SHARON

"Ashling has just been absolutely incredible. From the moment I did the initial skin consultation I knew my skin was in for a treat. Not only has Ashling taught me so much about my skin, but it's only been my 3rd visit & the difference in my skin is incredible. The goal/plan that we discussed for me is really having a positive effect on my overall confidence as my skin continues to improve. If I could give Ashling 10 stars I would. So friendly, professional and so talented at what she does. My skin is glowing 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟"
