In addition to our new treatment range, we’re thrilled to welcome an expert skin practitioner to our team. Meet India Bonwick, who brings her expertise and passion for skincare to The Academy Clinic. Get to know the face behind your treatments.
What is your skincare background?
I’ve always had a passion for skincare and enjoy understanding the science behind how different products work best together and for various skin types. I take great care with my own skin routine.
I’ve been in the skincare industry for 6 years and hold qualifications in Beauty Therapy at Levels 2, 3, and 4, along with specialised training in managing acne and rosacea. Additionally, I completed the Harley Academy course in cosmetic dermatology. My experience includes providing a range of skin treatments, such as Hydrafacial, chemical peels, RF microneedling, and various laser modalities for treating pigmentation, vascular conditions, and tattoo removal.
What treatments are you offering at The Academy Clinic?
I am offering a specialist skin analysis using a top of the range OBSERV 520x machine, this enables me to devise a tailored skincare routine using SVR products and a bespoke treatment plan. Alongside skin analysis, I am also administering a range of chemical peels, Hydrafacials, and microneedling.
Why is skin analysis important?
Skin analysis has enhanced the consultation process, by providing an accurate diagnosis of skin conditions that may not be visible to the naked eye. Our skin analysis allows us to gain a deeper understanding of your skin, enabling us to recommend the most suitable products and treatments tailored to your specific needs.
Skincare can be complex and sometimes overwhelming. Our goal is to make it as straightforward as possible for you to understand. The skin analysis helps us show and explain your skin’s unique needs, so you feel informed and confident in your skincare journey.
What is a Hydrafacial?
Hydrafacial is a rejuvenating, results-driven facial that’s perfect for giving your skin an instant boost. It’s especially popular ahead of special events or weddings – ideal for brides or anyone wanting that signature glow.
Beyond events, Hydrafacial is also an excellent option for prepping the skin before more invasive treatments, helping to clear congestion, deeply hydrate, and prime the skin for enhanced results.
Hydrafacial Treatment Steps:
Deep Cleanse & Exfoliation
Using unique vortex technology, the treatment begins by removing the top three layers of dead skin cells, leaving the skin clean and refreshed.Gentle Chemical Peel
A mild chemical solution is applied to help loosen debris and further exfoliate the skin without irritation.Painless Extractions
Impurities and congestion are gently removed using a suction-based extraction tool, clearing pores without discomfort.Hydration & Glow
A nourishing serum is infused into the skin to deeply hydrate and enhance radiance, leaving you with the signature Hydrafacial glow.
How does Hydrafacail compare to other facials?
Compared to other facials, Hydrafacial delivers immediate results with no downtime and it is suitable for all skin types. I love using the Hydrafacial to prep patients skins for a more advanced treatment, or to simply improve the barrier function and hydrate the skin.
Why did we opt for SVR Laboratories skincare products at The Academy Clinic?
We decided on SVR skincare products for The Academy Clinic after a lot of research into the brand and it’s ingredients. A French couple, both pharmacists, founded SVR in 1962 and began making skincare products for their local village. They carefully select each product’s ingredients, package them beautifully, and price them affordably. We especially liked the range of active ingredients that can provide both gentle and effective treatment for all skin types.
What are you most excited about working at The Academy Clinic?
I am so excited to work closely with patients and help them achieve their skin goals. Everyone’s skin is unique and it’s amazing how small adjustments can transform the way people feel about themselves.
