The analysis

What the analysis covers

A conversation and a look under the lamp: 20 minutes on its own, or the first part of a first visit. It comes before your first facial.

How you shave
With what, how often and at what time of day.
Your skin
How it feels after a shave, and what it does the next day.
What you use afterward
Bring it or photograph it. Rodrick goes through it with you.
What you'd like
A simpler routine, a quiet hour, a plan you can keep. He says what a facial can and can't do.
The note
He writes down what he noted and gives you a copy, so the next visit starts there.
Your questions
Ask anything about the visits or the room before you decide.

When to see a dermatologist

We'll suggest a dermatologist when

A facial can't do everything, and Rodrick would rather say so than keep booking you. He will suggest a dermatologist, or your doctor, when:

Skin that is hot, swollen or oozing
Rodrick will ask you to see a doctor before booking again.
A spot or mole that is changing
Anything that grows, bleeds or changes color goes to a doctor, not a facial.
Bumps that are deep, painful or lumpy
These sit deeper than a facial reaches, so a facial isn't the right next step.
A mark that lingers, or a scar forming
He will note it and suggest someone who can look at it properly.
A rash that started suddenly
Especially after a new medicine or a new product.
Skin that looks the same visit after visit
If your notes don't change, he says so and suggests who to ask next.

Choose a time on Rodrick's booking page, or send a message and he'll reply by text or email.
