THE 4S is not a traditional consultation. It's a complete analysis, four parts, one conversation, built to create a treatment strategy that is precise, personalised, and progressive, rather than a single fix for a single concern.
Each stage analyses a different part of your face and skin, building toward a single, sequenced strategy, not a one-off fix.
Before anything else, Richard assesses the underlying structure and proportions of your face, symmetry, contour balance, and the natural framework everything is built on. This is the reference point every later recommendation is measured against, so the plan fits your face specifically, not a generic template.
We use the MEICET MC88, a diagnostic imaging system built specifically for clinical skin analysis, to see past what's visible to the naked eye. It captures your skin through 5 separate light spectra, RGB, cross-polarised, parallel-polarised, UV, and Wood's light, each revealing something different: surface texture, sub-surface pigmentation, sebum activity, and early signs standard lighting simply can't show.
The system maps sensitivity, pigmentation, wrinkles, deep spots, pores, and acne activity, then compares your results against its clinical database to project your skin's likely trajectory 5 to 7 years ahead, so your plan works with where your skin is heading, not just where it is today.
Your structure, your MEICET data, and your own goals come together into a single, sequenced strategy, which treatments, in which order, and why. Nothing is recommended in isolation, so results build naturally over months and years instead of competing with each other.
A clinical skin diagnostic system that images your skin across 5 light spectra, including UV and Wood's light, to reveal sensitivity, pigmentation, wrinkles, deep spots, pores, and acne activity that aren't visible with the naked eye, then compares it against a database of 5 million real skin cases to project how your skin is likely to age.
It's not compulsory, but it's how Richard designs a coherent, sequenced plan rather than treating one concern at a time in isolation.
A clear picture of your facial structure and skin health, plus a personalised treatment and skincare strategy, in the right order for natural, progressive results.
This is confirmed at booking, please ask when you schedule your session.
No. Traditional consultations are a conversation. THE 4S combines that conversation with structural assessment, digital skin imaging, and a written strategy.
