Why Personalised Skin Care Matters
Generic skin treatments follow a standard protocol regardless of who sits in the chair. A personalised approach begins with a conversation about your skin history, current concerns and goals, and adapts the treatment accordingly.
At Ruth Targino Beauty Clinic in Stockwell, every treatment starts with an assessment. This is not a formality. It genuinely shapes which products, techniques and sequences are used in your session.
What Happens Before a Treatment
Before your treatment begins, your practitioner will ask about your skin history. This includes any previous treatments, current skincare products, known sensitivities and your main concern for the session.
If it is your first visit, this conversation is longer. Returning clients are checked in with briefly to understand whether anything has changed since their last session.
How Goals Are Assessed
Skin goals are often layered. A client may want brighter skin but also has sensitivity concerns. Another may want to address congestion without disrupting a delicate skin barrier.
The practitioner assesses what is achievable within a single session and, where appropriate, recommends a treatment course that builds results over time.
Why One Treatment Does Not Fit Everyone
Skin is individual. Two clients with the same surface concern may need entirely different approaches depending on their skin type, lifestyle and sensitivities.
A treatment that works well for one person may aggravate another. Personalisation ensures that your session supports your skin rather than disrupting it.
When to Ask About Suitability First
If you have a complex skin history, previous reactions or a concern that may affect treatment suitability, contact the clinic before booking an advanced treatment.
Some more advanced treatments may require an assessment before treatment is confirmed. The clinic will explain any requirement when you book.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an assessment before a facial? Not for every facial. Some advanced treatments may require additional suitability information before treatment is confirmed.
What should I tell the practitioner? Share your main concern, any known sensitivities, products you currently use and any relevant skin history such as previous reactions or ongoing skin conditions.
Can the treatment plan change between sessions? Yes. The practitioner will reassess your skin at each visit and adjust the approach based on how your skin has responded.
