Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Leonie Thorne Skin Studio treatments different?Leonie Thorne Skin Studio works at a cellular level, rather than focusing on surface-only results. Treatments are designed to create a synergistic cellular response, combining advanced technology, regenerative techniques, and hands-on expertise to target the root cause of skin concerns. This approach supports optimal cell function, skin communication, and long-term skin health rather than temporary cosmetic improvement.

Every treatment is customised following an in-depth skin health consultation to address the root cause of your concerns at a cellular level.

This treatment encourages skin regeneration with minimal downtime and is suitable for most skin types.

How is your acne treatment approach different?At Leonie Thorne Skin Studio, acne treatments work at a cellular level, creating a synergistic cellular response that supports repair, reduces inflammation, and improves overall skin function. This approach targets the real cause of acne and scarring, rather than offering short-term, surface-level solutions.
Can acne scarring be improved?Yes. Acne scarring can be improved with targeted, collagen-stimulating and regenerative treatments. Our approach focuses on improving skin texture, supporting skin renewal, and strengthening the skin structure over time.
