Opening Summary
Ageing rarely begins with deep wrinkles or sagging skin. More often, it starts quietly — in the loss of glow, the change in skin texture, or the way makeup no longer sits quite as smoothly. These are the subtle signs of ageing that many women in Mayfair and Central London overlook until they suddenly realise they look more tired than they feel.
At Alcove Aesthetics by Dr Goziem Onuchukwu, a doctor-led aesthetics clinic on Pall Mall, early detection and prevention are at the heart of every treatment. By addressing these initial changes with regenerative, collagen-stimulating treatments such as Polynucleotides, PRP and Sculptra, you can maintain naturally youthful, healthy skin long before visible ageing appears.
Introduction
Many women visit the clinic saying, “I just don’t look as fresh as I used to.” These early signs of ageing often have nothing to do with wrinkles. They begin with a subtle change in the skin’s brightness, texture, or structure.
Dr Goziem Onuchukwu, a GDC-registered dentist with a Master’s in Aesthetic Medicine, has over seven years of experience and has treated more than 1,000 patients. His approach focuses on prevention through regeneration — restoring your skin’s vitality before lines and laxity develop.
What It Is and How It Works
From your late twenties onward, your body begins to produce less collagen and elastin. Skin renewal slows down, hydration levels drop, and facial support structures become less firm. The result is a quiet but noticeable shift in how the skin looks and feels.
Subtle signs of ageing often include:
- Dull or uneven skin tone
- Finer texture or dryness around cheeks and eyes
- Early under-eye hollows or shadowing
- Lines that linger longer after smiling
- Slight loss of contour in the jawline or cheeks
At Alcove Aesthetics, regenerative treatments are designed to stimulate the skin from within rather than disguise these changes.
- Polynucleotides repair and strengthen the skin’s structure by stimulating fibroblast activity.
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses your own plasma to accelerate healing and collagen production.
- Sculptra rebuilds lost volume by encouraging your body to create new collagen gradually.
These treatments improve the underlying quality of your skin, helping it look fresher and stronger naturally.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if my skin is beginning to age?
When your complexion looks duller, feels rougher, or appears more tired than before, collagen and hydration levels may be dropping.
Are regenerative treatments safe?
Yes. All treatments are medically approved and performed by Dr Goziem in a clinical setting.
Will the results look natural?
Yes. Treatments such as Polynucleotides, PRP and Sculptra enhance your skin’s own function rather than altering your facial features.
Can I combine treatments?
Yes. Combination therapy often delivers the best results, for example pairing PRP with Polynucleotides for enhanced skin repair.
How often should I repeat the treatment?
Most patients repeat treatment courses every 6 to 12 months, depending on age, skin health and lifestyle.
