Why Quick Fixes Fail: The Long Game of Skin Health

Written By Sylvie Veit

In a world obsessed with instant results, it's easy to be seduced by trending products or treatments promising “overnight” changes. But when it comes to true skin health, there are no shortcuts. At The Dermal Clinic, we don’t offer temporary solutions. We create long-term change through medically backed treatments tailored to your skin’s unique needs.

The Problem With Quick Fixes

Most skin concerns—whether it’s pigmentation, acne, redness, scarring, or signs of ageing—are the result of years of internal and external factors. And while social media might suggest otherwise, there is no single serum or “miracle machine” that can fix it all in one go. Quick fixes might provide a fleeting glow, but they rarely address the underlying cause. Without a thorough understanding of the skin’s condition, these superficial approaches can even do more harm than good.

A Clinical Approach That Works

At The Dermal Clinic, every skin journey starts with a full consultation and in-depth analysis using the MoreMe diagnostic device. This gives us a deeper understanding of your skin’s condition and allows us to tailor your treatment plan using only evidence-based modalities.

Our suite of medical-grade devices and treatments includes:

  • Laser Genesis for texture, tone and collagen stimulation

  • iS Clinical peels (P2 and P3) for pigmentation and ageing

  • LimeLight IPL for sun damage, capillaries and redness

  • Harmony Facial (Oncology-safe) for compromised skin

  • ND:YAG 1064 Laser for vascular lesions and hair removal

  • HydraFacial for deep cleansing, exfoliation and hydration

  • Pearl & Pearl Fractional laser resurfacing for more intensive revision work

What is ND: YAG 1064 and Why Do We Use It?

ND: YAG 1064 refers to a specific laser wavelength—1064 nanometres—used in aesthetic medicine to treat a wide range of vascular and pigmentary skin conditions. It’s a powerful tool in our clinic because of its ability to penetrate deeply into the skin while remaining safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones.

We use the ND: YAG 1064 for:

  • Vascular treatments: It effectively targets and collapses broken capillaries, spider veins, and facial redness by heating the blood within vessels, allowing your body to naturally clear them.

  • Hair reduction: As a long-pulse laser, it's one of the safest and most effective options for laser hair removal—even for clients with deeper skin tones.

  • Skin rejuvenation: The heat energy from the ND:YAG stimulates collagen, improves skin tone, and can soften fine lines over time.

Because this wavelength bypasses the upper layers of the skin, it’s ideal for treating deeper issues without compromising the surface—minimising the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation and making it a safer choice compared to other wavelengths.

We’re Not Here for Trends. We’re Here for Results.

If you're tired of chasing one treatment after the next without seeing lasting results, we hear you. Our mission is to educate, empower, and treat—not to sell. Your skin deserves more than a quick fix.
