Dr Vy at Skinfluencer

There is no shortage of aesthetic doctors but finding the right one that suits you, is great at their work and that you trust will do what you want and not what they think would look good, can be challenging.  Dr Vy is all these and more.   She marries an extensive academic background with a wealth of expertise in skincare, anti-ageing and facial aesthetics. She graduated as a dentist from King’s College London (which I’m told make the best injectors as they understand the atatomy of the face better than most doctors), and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Sciences and a Master’s degree in Immunology.  Not to mention her passion about raising the safety profile and ethics in the aesthetics industry and pioneering the highest levels of standard through her teaching and mentorships.  She is the real deal!  What also gives her that extra seal of approval is that she is working at the incredible Skinfluencer on Fulham Road in London.   I have to say that every time I have visited this place my skin thanks me for it.  

I popped in to see Dr Vy and decided to try some Profhilo with her to see what her needle work is like.  Known for her gentle touch, I wasn’t surprised that she took her time to perfectly place the solution in the correct points checking how I was each time.   She is super gentle (all those needle phobes out there will love her), knowledgeable and put me at ease knowing I was in safe hands.   Profilo is an injectable hyaluronic acid which is a remodelling treatment that can be used on the face, neck, decolletage and hands and is basically a wonder product as it improves the appearance of fine lines, creepy skin and general plumping and brightening.   The needle points sting a bit more than Botox injections but the whole process is over pretty quick as there are only five points to inject on each side of the face.   You need two treatments 4 weeks apart to see the full results but I was out the next day after the first session and people were already making comments about how good my skin looked. 

I was having Profhilo as part of a treatment at Skinfluencer called the ‘Skin whisper’ which combines Profhilo and Ultraforma (which is a HIFU treatment) for skin tightening so will post that review up next…
