Harley Street Skincare Specialists

Why not make a resolution this new year to treat your skin to some luxury skincare?

Harley Street Skin Care is a range of advanced skin care products launched in 2007 by Dr. Aamer Khan and Lesley Reynolds-Khan The well-known skin and anti-aging experts developed their own brand after identifying the need for a high performance range that covers all of their patients’ skin care needs and is directed towards achieving visible results.

Harley Street Skin Care products are formulated with the most advanced ingredients to treat acne, rosacea and all signs of aging. For a more custom consultation, you can visit the Harley Street Medical Skincare Clinic. The clinic offers the very latest high-tech skin and body treatments – but only those which Dr Khan and Lesley Reynolds Khan, its founders, have personally evaluated and found to be effective. That means whatever your skin concerns, whether you want to reverse the signs of ageing or to tackle acne scarring, pigmentation, cellulite or saggy jowls, there is an established treatment protocol to help you get the very best results.

Every patient is then given a “Skin MOT” using the latest Visia imaging technology, which gives an instant snapshot of the state of the skin, from the extent of wrinkling, to hydration levels, and the presence of bacteria within the skin.

What Dr Khan’s patients love about his work is that he tends to be rather conservative: when it comes to injectibles, less is more, especially when adding volume to cheeks or lips, or damping down expression lines. “We would never overdo it,” adds Lesley Reynolds Khan, “because we look after plenty of celebrities and well-known faces from television that can’t suddenly change their looks overnight on camera.”

Add in the knowledge of what skincare will best treat and enhance the skin condition, and you have an all-round package that can be tailored to suit your budget.

A Closer Look at Hyperpigmentation (Series)

Who doesn’t want clearer, more “translucent” skin overall? Translucent skin refers to a glowing, blemish-free complexion. Many cosmetic lines are capitalizing on this concern by offering light-reflective makeup (think about all the new HD and “photo ready” foundations on the market) and skincare products targeted at correcting the look of hyperpigmentation. Hyperpigmentation is probably the biggest concern that stands in the way of having translucent skin.

What exactly is hyperpigmentation? According to Wikipedia, it is “the darkening of an area of skin or nails caused by increased melanin.”
