How does Skin Resurfacing work?
pHformula is a dermalogical Skin Resurfacing system completely unlike any other treatment or technology, harnessing controlled Proton Energy.
The unique encapsulated delivery system enables full potency delivery to target cells providing maximum results without skin irritation or downtime.
This makes Skin Resurfacing unique delivering maximum results with no pain or downtime. prevents ingredient oxidation allowing actives to reach target cells in the deep skin layers without loss of potency, once exposed to the air unlike traditional formulations. The formulation targets the key cells responsible for our skin appearance and stimulating cell turnover, regeneration and helping to reduce and prevent hyperpigmentation.
Medical Grade Skincare Treatments
The active formulas are encapsulated this serves several functions unique to other treatments:
- Painless, no irritation, peeling or downtime
- Actives retain potency on air exposure meaning advanced results.
- Unique formulation allows actives to reach key cells required that are responsible for cell functioning.
- Leave on formulas continue working after you leave the clinic.
pHfomula is completely unique, tailored to every inch of your skin. Multiple simultaneous, unique treatments are performed at once.
Traditional skin treatments focus on one main concern meaning you are still left with your other issues.

£50Why is Non Laser Skin Resurfacing better?
pHformula Skin Resurfacing does not use Laser, it was developed from laser science to deliver the same results without the risks such as pain, downtime, increased pigmentation and increased hair growth.
Skin rejuvenation is suitable for all skin types and concerns. The treatment from the inside out delivering key ingredients deep within the skin increasing cellular regeneration and improving cell functioning.
F.A.Q
All skin types and concerns: Ageing, Redness and Rosacea, Pigmentation, Acne, it is highly suitable for Eczema, Psoriasis and a host of other skin conditions. As one of the most advanced skincare brands available pHformula delivers outstanding results on any skin.
Yes, the formulation delivers full strength ingredients deep within the skin with no pain or downtime and outstanding results.
pHformula Skin Resurfacing is a no laser treatment, it is safe to use on all skin.
Phformula was developed from laser science principles to be equally powerful, yet no downtime.
Laser risks
- downtime
- pain
- peeling and redness
- increased pigmentation
- increased hair growth.
Laser induced Hyperpigmentation: Areas of pigmentation (brown marks) or Hypopigmentation (loss of pigment/white skin areas)
There is no other brand on the market with the same technology as pHformula.
pHformula is a Pharma-cosmeceutical meaning it bridges the gap between medical treatments. Typical salon skincare brands contain around 10% active ingredients whereas pHformula contains approximately 50-60% making it close in strength to medical skin treatments but without the risks and downsides.
No, peeling or more than minimal downtime is rare with pHformula.
There may be mild (like dandruff) flaking a few days after your chemical skin resurfacing treatment, this is a signal that your skin is regenerating, you are seeing the skin cycle turn over faster. Using your pHformula skincare reduces appearance.
Not all Skin Resurfacing treatments require supporting homecare.
With some skin conditions it os vital to supporting your transformation with skincare at home.
SPF use is mandatory with all Skin Resurfacing treatments.
No, completely painless unlike laser resurfacing.
There is minimal sensation to a bit spicy at most. These Advanced Facials are relaxing and loved by clients!
Before each treatment a skin analysis is completed this shows any current sensitivity and we can adapt your session accordingly. We build up your skin tolerance gradually increasing layers and as required meaning every treatment is completely bespoke.
Results, dramatic results.
I'm ridiculously passionate about making you confident and my clients are so happy they tell others!
Loud skin clinic is the authorised pHfomula skin specialist for the Bolton and Westhoughton area and my knowledge and passion gives outstanding results.
Yes, I'd suggest a couple of days prior to prevent the slim chance of over stimulation. Please stop only your "active" treatments this includes pHformula "Active", Synergy, Vita A etc.
You should continue with your standard routine including Exfo, Recovery, Serums, Post/B3 etc. Please ask if you are unsure.
After treatment: please wait a day or two before continuing the use of Actives.
No, I advise to completely stop using other skincare or treatments.
By mixing brands you are undoing our work. I have no control over how non-professional products will react with my very powerful medical grade ones, you can potentially have bad reactions and at minimum are making your treatments ineffective .
I would suggest if intend to mix other products it is better wait until you are fully committed to transforming your skin. Please remember it is often the basics that can cause real issues in your skin routine (think cleansers, exfoliator), if you are not using the right product for your skin this is where the trouble begins.
Using "Hot" anything on your skin disrupts your skin barrier, we definately don't want that.
It is also key to remember that pores are not doors, they do not open and close it is more effective to use the right products to cleanse your skin by attracting and dissolving them. Remember EXFO cleanse can also be used as a facemask treatment and dissolves impurities and dead skin using gentle, natural enzymes.
Yes, straight away is fine unless you have had Microneedling or Nanoneedling included in your treatment that day.
pHformula CC Cream (it's lovely) and other makeup products are formulated to be safe to use immediately after treatment. You can see some of the pHformula range here

You can view some of the pHformula range here
No, to be effective many formulations are medical grade and must be personally prescribed to you.
Contact me no-obligation for information on the best skincare for your skin and prices.
pHformula prices start at £21, several products are stocked in clinic to take away with you on the day or can be ordered in.
pHformula is prohibited to be sold online and must be prescribed and ordered via skin specialist.
Skin resurfacing reverses the signs of ageing and corrects skin problems, naturally our body continues to age in the same way that you would post facelift.
If you have problem skin such as Rosacea, Acne or Melasma I will support you to reduce the condition and provide lifestyle guidance however you still need to maintain your new skin and prevent problems from re-occuring this means continuining the use of some level supportive home skincare use.
I recommend maintenance treatments as these are more powerful than skincare alone.
No, Skin Resurfacing exposes new cells on the skin surface, these are prone to sun damage and pigmentation therefore it is crital that you avoid the sun, sunbathing and sunbeds particularly if you have pigmentation already.
Having treatments then direct sun exposure can mean your pigment gets darker (hyperpigmentation).
A big hat, shade and reapply a broad spectrum SPF regularly.
Each treatment is unique as this is a layer and leave as skin becomes stronger we can add additional layers into your session, Advanced skin resurfacing for transformation takes approx 60 mins, this can extend with the use of certain masks or resurfacing variants.
Allow extra time where Microneedling/ nanoneedling/ LED Light therapy is included.
I would suggest leaving yourself 2 hours so I can give you the works.
14 days apart unless you are having my strongest Skin Resurfacing unrivalled TCA treatment which is spaced 4 weekly.
You can leave longer between treatments but ensure you have enough skincare remaining at home to support each treatment.
pHformula works comletely unlike any other skincare range there is literally nothing to compare it to. As these products are formulated to treat the skin you only need a small amount, many products such as the EXFO cleanse are available in large 200ml sizes too so you get a good few months use.
I would suggest EXFO cleanse available from the clinic and a good broad spectrum SPF as bare minimum products.
Exfo is my hero product, all my resurfacing clients use it. A gentle enyzme cleanser it protects your skin barrier using EXFO alone form pHformula will make your skin healthier. It can be used as a face mask and even removes eye makeup.
No, it will dramatically improve your skin health.
Clients message me as soon as they begin homecare blown away with the rapid changes to thier skin.
Treatments are relaxing, enjoyable and pain free with no downtime.
With my knowledge, use of bespoke personalised skin treatments and pHfomula's exceptional formulation I can ensure transformative results.
Lou is the best in what she does, I would highly recommend her. She is so knowledgeable and very professional in what she does.
Another appointment had with Lou and this time for IPL hair removal. Lou is fantastic at what she does and always puts you at ease. I cannot recommend her highly enough and am looking forward to many future appointments and some more pleasing results.
IPL Illumi Facial
I had my first full treatment a week ago and have already noticed a real improvement — my skin looks brighter and more even, and some pigmentation has visibly lifted. I’m really happy with the results, even after just one session.
As before, Lou was brilliant — calm, professional, and really reassuring.
The treatment itself is all about delivering results, I felt completely at ease and well looked after throughout.
Highly recommend!
I’ve followed Loud Skin clinic for a while now and took advantage of an initial offer for Illumifacial skin rejuvenation treatment as I have Rosacea/skin redness and age spots.
My first appointment was a patch test; the second being for full treatment. Lou kept me informed of all the procedures she carried out throughout the appointments and what to expect afterwards. I found Lou to be very friendly and down to earth. The clinic is spotlessly clean. Highly recommend ⭐
Lou is so good at what she does.
Her knowledge and expertise is clear to see, she is so passionate about all things skin. I felt safe and at ease when I had my first consultation at the clinic.
The treatments she offers are effective, they may not be ‘fluffy’ or gentle but she gets results by tailoring the treatments to suit your skin type. No false promises. I appreciate how honest, realistic and practical she is.
I just wish I had known about this clinic sooner but so glad I did find her on Facebook.
I look forward to continuing with the Illumi treatments and skin tightening
See you again very soon.
PS I promise to smother myself in Factor 50 at all times I know it makes sense ❤️

Skin Clinic Reviews...
Lou has really transformed the skin on my face … I’ve tried all sorts of products in the past but nothing has ever worked until going to Lou. I suffer with bad spider veins, skin pigment, chronic redness and some age spots but since having just two of the electrolysis treatments immediately felt more confident and decided to go with the ‘Advanced Skin Resurfacing’ that Lou offers and WOW it made such a difference!! Not only did I relax and enjoy a tip top facial and LED treatment, I can finally feel confident enough to go out wearing just the CC cream that Lou tailored to my skin following treatment! If I’ve ever got any questions loud skin clinic gets back to me and always checks in on me after treatment… Can’t wait to go for my second treatment tomorrow and see yet more progress on my journey to great skin. I also love the PH Formula products that Lou prescribed to me…. Feeling fresh faced and confident! Thanks so much Lou x
Lou is the best at what she does! My face feel’s so much clearer after only 2 treatments of advanced electrolysis! She’s so professional also and made sure she checked in with me afterwards. Thanks again Lou x
Lou was so lovely and reassuring during my appointment. I was nervous but it was a very relaxing atmosphere and she adjusted the machine so as not to put me in unnecessary pain, and checked in with me throughout the treatment. Really happy with the results and very reasonably priced. Thank you!
