Skin consultation
A full assessment of your skin, your history and your goals, with an honest view of what will and won't help. The starting point for everything else.
Suitability — Open to everyone. Required before any clinical treatment.
NurtureDerm is Michelle Starr's practice inside Starr Studio. Michelle is an NMC registered nurse, and she takes a holistic route to skin — working out what your skin actually needs before anything is booked, rather than selling you a treatment off a list.
Everything here starts with a consultation and a suitability assessment. Some people leave with a treatment plan; plenty leave with a skincare routine and nothing else, because that was the honest answer.


Michelle is a nurse registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, the UK regulator for nursing. Every treatment starts with a face-to-face consultation and a suitability assessment.
Michelle has been a trained nurse for over 15 years.
Michelle also practises as nurturederm.co.uk, where you'll find more detail on her clinical work.
Nothing is booked as a treatment on day one. You'll talk through your skin history, your goals and anything that might rule a treatment out, and leave with a plan rather than a purchase.
Skin responds to sleep, stress, sun and what you put on it at home as much as to anything done in clinic. Michelle builds a routine around the whole picture instead of treating one line in isolation.
Nurse-led, with the record-keeping, aftercare and follow-up you'd expect from a clinical setting — not a beauty add-on.
Treatments are discussed and assessed in person, so nothing here is priced or sold from a menu. Book a consultation and you'll get a straight answer about what's suitable for you.
A full assessment of your skin, your history and your goals, with an honest view of what will and won't help. The starting point for everything else.
Suitability — Open to everyone. Required before any clinical treatment.
Hydrating treatments that work into the skin rather than sitting on top of it, aimed at quality, texture and glow rather than volume.
Suitability — Discussed and assessed at consultation. Suitability depends on your skin, your medical history and your goals.
Relaxing treatments for expression lines, provided by a registered nurse. These are prescription-only medicines, so they cannot be advertised, priced or promoted publicly, and they are never sold from a menu. They follow a consultation and a suitability assessment, and are only ever provided where clinically appropriate.
Suitability — Assessed in person by a prescriber. Not suitable for everyone, and not available on request without consultation.
A home routine built around your skin and actually sustainable — what to use, in what order, and what to stop wasting money on.
Suitability — Open to everyone.
Consultations are booked directly with Michelle. Message the studio or NurtureDerm directly and Michelle will come back to you about availability.
