The 12-Week Skin Reset

The first step for every skin.

Most of my patients start here. Maybe you’re new to skin treatments, or maybe you’ve had beauty treatments elsewhere and you’re ready for more. Either way, the Reset gives your skin the foundation it needs. That’s the beauty of the programme: it’s customised to your skin type, your concerns and the downtime you can manage.

Before we reach for corrective home care, lasers or peels, we start with the basics. Your skin needs nurturing: gentle treatments and home care that repair the barrier, restore hydration and feed the skin with antioxidants and evidence-based topical vitamins. Once your skin is calm and strong, it’s ready for stronger, corrective treatments, and you’ll have a simple routine that fits your life.

If you’re in perimenopause

If your skin has changed in perimenopause, you’re not imagining it. As oestrogen levels shift, the skin makes less collagen and hyaluronic acid, so it becomes thinner and drier. The barrier is more easily disrupted, which is why products you’ve used for years can suddenly sting. Redness and flushing often increase, and cell turnover slows, so skin looks duller and doesn’t absorb active skincare as well. This is where the Reset really comes into its own, because skin at this stage responds well to steady, structured care.

How the Reset works

Your consultation with me. Every Reset starts with a consultation, so I can understand your skin, health and history before anything is planned. You can choose a 30-minute skin consultation, or a 60-minute integrated consultation that also covers hormones and metabolic health. Before you see me, one of our team does a 30-minute skin assessment with clinical photos, so I have everything in front of me.

Your skincare. I'll prescribe a home routine using the Synergie Skin Cult Classics kit, with a cleanser matched to your skin. Our team will show you how to use it, and in what order, before your first treatment.

Six Signature Treatments. You'll have a Thrive Signature Treatment every two weeks for 12 weeks. Each one combines a hydrating peel with a gentle long-pulsed laser, adjusted on the day to your skin and the downtime you can manage. We start gently and step the settings up as your skin becomes more resilient. There's minimal downtime, so you can go straight back to your day.

Your Week 14 review. Two weeks after your last treatment, you'll come back for a complimentary review. We repeat your photos and skin assessment, compare them with where you started, review your products and plan what's next.

Who looks after you

I design and oversee your programme, and our experienced dermal therapy team delivers your treatments. You'll see the same faces at each visit, in one small clinic, so we get to know your skin as it changes.

What's included

Six Thrive Signature Treatments, the full-sized Synergie Skin Cult Classics kit (Ultimate A, Vitamin B, Effica C, Dermiotic and UberZinc) with a cleanser matched to your skin, and your Week 14 review. The programme is $2,500. Your consultation with me is booked and paid for separately; see our consultation details and fees. Payment plans are available, and we'll talk you through the options after your consultation.

After the Reset

The Reset is the foundation, not the finish line. At your Week 14 review we'll talk about what comes next. Many women continue with a monthly Signature Treatment membership to keep their results. Others move on to corrective laser treatments, such as IPL, vascular laser, UltraClear or Laser Coring, once their skin is ready. There's no obligation, and we'll go at a pace that suits you.

Things to know

Results vary from person to person, depending on your skin, your home routine, hormones, sun exposure and general health. All treatments carry some risk, and I'll talk you through the risks that apply to you at your consultation.

How do I start?

Every Reset starts with a consultation with me. Choose a 30-minute skin consultation if you’re coming for your skin, or a 60-minute integrated consultation if you’re in perimenopause and want a comprehensive approach to your hormones, skin and metabolic health. A skin check is needed before laser, to assess any pigmented lesions.

If it’s mostly about how your skin looks, the 30-minute consultation is the right fit. If you’re also noticing changes in how you feel, such as your energy, sleep, cycle or weight, the 60-minute consultation gives us time to look at those too, so your skin plan sits within a plan for your overall health.
