Skincare that works at a deeper level
At Ashtree House Dental, we offer medical-grade skincare products as part of our facial aesthetics services. Medical-grade skincare differs from high-street cosmetic products in that it contains active ingredients at clinically effective concentrations — formulated to penetrate below the surface of the skin and address specific concerns at a cellular level.
We believe that effective skincare is not just an add-on to aesthetic treatments — it is an important foundation. The right skincare regimen can help maintain and extend the results of treatments such as chemical peels or skin boosters, and address ongoing concerns such as pigmentation, acne, dryness or premature ageing.
We welcome patients from Wooburn Green, Beaconsfield, High Wycombe, Flackwell Heath and surrounding areas.
Medical-grade skincare refers to products that are formulated and tested to pharmaceutical standards, with active ingredients at concentrations not typically available in over-the-counter cosmetic products. These products are recommended by a trained practitioner following a thorough skin assessment, and are selected specifically for your skin type, condition and goals.
Unlike many cosmetic skincare ranges, medical-grade products undergo rigorous clinical testing to support their efficacy claims. They are designed to work in conjunction with in-clinic treatments or as a standalone regimen to improve skin health over time.
At Ashtree House Dental, we work with established, reputable brands to offer products suited to a range of skin concerns. Your practitioner will recommend the most appropriate products following a skin consultation.
Medical-grade skincare products can be used to help manage:
Our practitioner will discuss your specific concerns and recommend products appropriate for your skin.
Many patients ask why medical-grade skincare differs from products available in pharmacies or beauty counters. The key differences are:
Active ingredient concentration — medical-grade products contain higher concentrations of clinically validated actives such as retinol, vitamin C, alpha-hydroxy acids and growth factors.
Formulation and penetration — medical-grade products are formulated to ensure active ingredients reach the layers of skin where they can have a meaningful effect, rather than sitting on the surface.
Clinical evidence — reputable medical-grade brands are supported by clinical studies on their formulations, not just on individual ingredients.
Personalised recommendation — medical-grade products are selected and recommended by a trained practitioner following assessment of your skin, rather than chosen from a shelf.
It is important to note that results from skincare products take time, consistency and patience. Our team will set realistic expectations with you and advise how best to use and combine products.
Some active ingredients in medical-grade skincare — particularly higher-strength retinoids — require a gradual introduction to the skin and should only be used under professional guidance. Our practitioner will advise on correct usage, application frequency, and how to minimise the risk of irritation.
Sun protection is an essential part of any medical-grade skincare programme, particularly when using products containing retinoids, AHAs or brightening agents. We always recommend a broad-spectrum SPF as a daily non-negotiable.
During a skincare consultation, our practitioner will assess your skin type, identify your primary concerns, and discuss your current skincare routine, lifestyle and any medications or allergies. This allows us to recommend a regimen that is appropriate, safe and effective for you.
Based on your assessment, we will recommend a tailored skincare programme. This may include a combination of cleansers, active serums, moisturisers and SPF. We explain each product, how and when to use it, and what to expect.
Good skincare is a long-term commitment. We are happy to review your progress, adjust your regimen as your skin changes, and discuss how in-clinic treatments such as chemical peels or skin boosters may complement your at-home routine.
Good skincare guidance starts with getting to know your skin and your concerns. Here is what you can expect from us:
Clinician-led treatment — your skincare consultation is planned and delivered by an experienced clinician, ensuring clinical quality and safety at every stage.
Thorough consultations — we take time to understand your concerns, assess your suitability carefully, and answer all of your questions before any treatment is planned.
Personalised treatment planning — every treatment plan is tailored to your individual circumstances, anatomy and goals. No two patients are the same, and our recommendations reflect that.
Honest advice — we will always tell you honestly whether a treatment is suitable for you, discuss alternatives where relevant, and provide a full written cost plan before anything begins.
Ongoing aftercare and support — we provide written aftercare guidance and remain available to answer questions after your treatment. Regular reviews and maintenance appointments are encouraged.
If you are interested in improving your skin health with a professionally guided regimen in Wooburn Green, Beaconsfield, High Wycombe or Flackwell Heath, our team would be happy to help.
We offer a calm, professional environment and always focus on realistic, evidence-informed advice — never a hard sell.
Results depend on the products used and the concern being addressed. Hydration improvements can be felt relatively quickly, while changes to pigmentation or signs of ageing typically take consistent use over several weeks to months. Our practitioner will set realistic expectations with you.
Yes — in many cases, a tailored skincare regimen enhances and prolongs the results of in-clinic treatments. We can advise on which products to pause or avoid around the time of any procedure.
There are medical-grade formulations designed specifically for sensitive or reactive skin. Our practitioner will assess your skin type and recommend products with appropriate actives and concentrations for you.
A skin consultation with our practitioner is recommended before we supply products, to ensure appropriate selection for your skin. We would not recommend purchasing active skincare products without professional guidance, as using the wrong products can exacerbate some skin concerns.
Product costs vary depending on the brand and specific items recommended. We will always give you a clear overview of costs before you commit. A phased approach is perfectly reasonable — our practitioner can advise on which products to prioritise.
