Founded by visionary Fatma Shaheen, Skin Design London’s clinical treatments are born from her pioneering leadership in no-downtime, non-invasive skin innovation. Renowned as the “Titan of Tightening” (Financial Times) and the “Skin Designer of the Stars” (L’Officiel), and featured in Forbes and The Times, Fatma is the go-to expert for red-carpet, instant skin transformations.
With over 18 years of expertise in advanced skin technology and the treatment of hyperpigmentation, acne and non-surgical facial lifting, Fatma has consistently set new standards for the industry. Her dual mastery of clinical devices and formulation science allows her to design protocols that deliver high-performance results while preserving and strengthening the integrity of the skin, supporting collagen wellness and long-term skin function.
As the inventor of Designer Cosmeceuticals® and a recognised authority in regenerative skin design, Fatma has reshaped what modern skincare can achieve. While much of the industry relied on aggressive, trauma-based techniques, her philosophy charted a new path: intelligent regeneration that strengthens the skin rather than breaking it down supporting skin longevity instead of short-term results.
Skin Design London continues to lead this evolution, merging clinical precision, non-invasive technology and advanced formulation expertise to create treatments that deliver exceptional, long-lasting results without compromising skin health.

Yes. All SDL treatments and technologies are designed to work in sync with the skin’s natural physiology. Whether your skin is dry, oily, sensitive, acne-prone, or mature, every protocol is adapted to your unique needs.
Our approach focuses on strengthening the skin barrier - not inflaming it - which is why every treatment is safe across all skin tones and conditions.
No. Skin Design London treatments are known for their clinical-level results with zero downtime.
You can expect skin to look refreshed, lifted, and glowing immediately after your session, making our treatments perfect before events, travel, or long days.
Our methods are built for all skin types, meaning each formula and technology is engineered to reduce irritation while delivering maximum results.
Some treatments may leave a light flush (a sign of increased circulation), but this settles quickly. There is no prolonged redness, sensitivity, or peeling.
Our microcurrent uses gentle, low-level electrical currents to tone and sculpt facial muscles.
It is safe for all skin types because it:
Works with the skin’s natural bioelectricity
Does not disrupt the barrier
Provides immediate lifting and contouring
It’s often called a “natural facelift effect” with zero irritation.
Moving beyond traditional dermal rejuvenation, this exclusive device
combines microneedling with electroporation to feed the skin with Skin Design London’s
targeted formulas. The results-driven actives are delivered into the deeper layers, where
they work to bring about longer-term improvements. Custom-depth needling improves acne scarring, rough texture and fine lines without downtime.
Absolutely - SDL treatment plans are often designed to complement the use of retinoids and actives. However, we advise pausing strong actives 24–48 hours before treatment depending on your skin’s condition. Your therapist will guide you.
Most SDL treatments offer instant results - lifting, smoothing, and glow - visible right after your session. Long-term benefits such as improved firmness, texture, and clarity build progressively over time.
Not at all. Our protocols focus on comfort, precision, and skin harmony.
Most clients describe the treatments as:
- Warming
- Sculpting
- Relaxing
- Luxuriously restorative
Never abrasive, never aggressive. Results without downtime and irritation.
Yes. Skin Design London is known for the Event-Ready Glow with:
No downtime
No redness
No irritation
No peeling
You’ll leave looking lifted, smooth, and radiant.
Many of our treatments are pregnancy-safe, especially hydrating, sculpting, and LED protocols. However, certain technologies (like RF) may be avoided.
Your therapist will customise a treatment plan tailored to your stage and comfort.
SDL treatments are based on Fatma Shaheen’s pioneering Designer Cosmeceuticals:
Clinical actives that require no downtime.
Non-invasive technologies that deliver maximum results with zero irritation.
Bespoke protocols tailored to every skin type.
Clinical performance fused with modern luxury.
We treat the skin from the inside-out, delivering long-term results.
Your recommended treatment frequency depends on your skin goals and the type of treatment you’re receiving.
Your therapist will work with you to design a treatment plan for your needs.
