Skin Secrets Pudsey

This is what PH Formula's A.C.N.E. resurfacing treatment can do.

The before shows grade 3 acne — inflamed papules, pustules and significant congestion across the forehead. The after shows the same skin after a course of treatment.

No harsh stripping. No aggressive peeling. Just targeted, controlled resurfacing that works with the skin to reduce inflammation, regulate sebum and stimulate cell regeneration.

Acne is one of the most emotionally difficult skin concerns I see. It affects confidence, it affects daily life, and it's so often dismissed with a prescription and nothing else.

This is a different approach. A clinical one. And the results speak for themselves.

If acne — or acne scarring — is something you struggle with, let's talk. Consultations via link in bio 🔗

First treatment this morning for a client with Fungal nail. (Onychomycosis)

Below are different types of fungal nail that we can cure with laser treatment.

What happens during the procedure?

1. Assessment
* The clinician examines the nail and may take a nail sample to confirm it’s a fungal infection.
2. Preparation
* The nail is trimmed and, if very thick, may be filed down. This helps the laser pe*****te more effectively.
* No general anaesthetic is usually needed.
3. Laser treatment
* The laser is passed over the infected nail and sometimes the surrounding skin.
* You may feel warmth, a hot pinprick sensation, or mild discomfort. Most people tolerate it without needing pain relief.
* Treatment usually takes 10–20 minutes, depending on how many nails are being treated.
4. After the session
* You can usually walk out immediately and resume normal activities.
* There is little or no downtime.

Healing and recovery

The laser doesn’t make the damaged nail look normal straight away. Instead, it targets the fungus, and then the nail has to grow out.

Typical timeline:

* First few days: The toe may feel slightly warm or tender, but most people have little discomfort.
* 1–3 months: A thin strip of healthy-looking nail may begin growing from the base.
* 3–6 months: More healthy nail becomes visible as the damaged nail grows toward the tip.
* 6–12 months: Many toenails show noticeable improvement.
* 9–18 months: A big toenail may take this long to completely replace the damaged nail.

Aftercare

To reduce the chance of reinfection:

* Keep feet clean and dry.
* Wear clean socks daily.
* Disinfect or replace old shoes if recommended.
* Treat any athlete’s foot at the same time.
* Trim nails regularly.

Some clinics also recommend using a topical antifungal after laser treatment to improve the chance of success.

How many treatments are needed?

This varies by clinic and the severity of the infection. Many people have 1–4 laser sessions, spaced several weeks apart, although some need more.

Stubborn warts don't have to stay. ❄️

A fantastic result after just 2 CryoPen treatments, with Salactol used for 4 weeks before the first treatment and continued between treatments.
