With spring sunshine comes the quest for glowing skin – the sort that’s luminous enough to meet the longer, warmer days.
_____
The answer lies in maintenance — a routine that incorporates a thoughtful combination of treatments and protection aided by regular nourishment from the inside out.
“A glowing complexion comes primarily from a healthy skin barrier, maintained by practicing sun protection” says Dr O’Gorman, who also cites habits such as a healthy diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management as integral to looking radiant.
Should those bases be covered, a menu of treatments that resurface, hydrate and brighten will transform the dullest of skin to a surface far more lustrous.
Where to start? There are laser treatments, LED light therapy, facials, chemical peels, botulinum toxin injections (botox), IPL photo rejuvenation, skinboosters, to name a few options. It can make the process of finding the treatment that best suits our skin overwhelming and even daunting.
Below, we’ve curated the best treatments that are proven to get glowing, spring skin.

The Yearly Facial
There’s nothing quite as rejuvenating, restorative and effective as Dr O’Gorman’s signature Yearly Facial. This facial is one like no other, designed to deliver results that eliminate the need for repeat treatments over the following 12 months.
The treatment starts with a diagnostic process to ascertain the underlying skin concerns to ensure a highly efficacious, bespoke treatment.
The 10-step Yearly Facial includes cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, infusion into the skin of vitamins A, B, C and E and clarifying extracts, advanced administration of hyaluronic acid and bioactive proteins plus growth factors from your own blood, collagen induction therapy, followed by a calming mask.
“If you only have one facial this year, make sure it’s a Yearly Facial.”
— Dr O’Gorman

Botulinum Toxin Injections
Anti-wrinkle injections are a safe, rapid and reliable way to look younger. They help maintain a fresh appearance to the skin and reduce the depth of facial lines caused by the repeated contraction of facial muscles. When done well – by a highly qualified cosmetic doctor – anti-wrinkle injections can rebalance the pull of certain muscles against others which creates a more youthful appearance.
The light reflection and radiance of the skin also improves. Fine lines can disappear, pores shrink, and deeper lines over time are dramatically improved which creates a glowing effect. People also credit this treatment to an uplift in wellbeing – feeling happier and more confident.

Collagen Stimulating Injections
Collagen stimulating injections, or biostimulators, work by stimulating the build-up of the body’s natural collagen and elastin.
Injected below the surface of the skin, they induce renewal of facial collagen fibres to tone and lift problem facial areas.
This treatment will not correct the underlying cause of the facial fat loss but will help improve the appearance by increasing skin thickness in the treated area to help smooth out lines and wrinkles for a fuller, younger and fresher looking face.
_____
Skin Boosters
Skin boosters (otherwise known as skin hydration mesotherapy injections) work by using a hyaluronic acid based solution that is injected into the skin to improve the appearance of skin on your face, neck, décolletage and hands. They provide optimal results due to their ability to work from the inside out, awakening the cells of your skin to replenish, revive and rejuvenate.
“Skin boosters are clinically proven to stimulate new collagen formation and increase elastin levels that have been depleted due to age or environmental factors. They have the added bonus of diminishing fine lines and improving glow, hydrating the skin from within to leave skin looking fresh and radiant”, explains Dr O’Gorman.
_____
Laser Treatments
IPL laser treatments work by targeting the surface of the skin including the treatment of redness and inflammation caused by ageing, sun damage, pigmentation, sagging skin, acne, rosacea, broken capillaries and spider veins. Our YAG based Laser Genesis is great for shrinking pores, reducing redness, and improving elasticity. And for more sun damaged skin, our Pearl Erbium-Yag laser provides a 100% superficial resurfacing of the skin.
Essentially, laser treatments even out your skin tone to create a glow and to tighten lax skin.
Our investment in the latest medical grade laser and IPL technology means we can be confident in having the right technology to meet your skin needs, and we can also be confident in achieving the results required.
