Harper's Bazaar - Tweak or Treat

Dr Joseph Hkeik Featured in Harper’s BAZAAR on the Future of Integrated Skincare

As skincare continues to evolve, the conversation has shifted beyond choosing between professional treatments and topical products. Increasingly, experts agree that the most effective approach combines both, creating personalised treatment plans that address skin health from multiple angles.

In the Harper’s BAZAAR feature “Tweak or Treat?”, Dr Joseph Hkeik joins leading Australian skincare experts to discuss the growing role of integrated skincare - combining professional aesthetic treatments with medical-grade skincare to achieve healthier, longer-lasting results.

Rather than viewing in-clinic procedures and home skincare as separate approaches, the feature explores how they work together to support skin quality, texture, pigmentation and the visible signs of ageing.




A Personalised, Long-Term Approach

Within the feature, Dr Joseph Hkeik explains that successful treatment plans are tailored to each individual’s skin concerns, goals and lifestyle.

Rather than focusing on quick fixes or isolated procedures, treatment plans are developed around long-term skin health. Depending on a patient’s concerns, this may involve combining advanced energy-based devices, medical-grade skincare and carefully selected aesthetic treatments to improve skin quality while maintaining natural-looking results over time.

This personalised philosophy has remained central to All Saint Clinic since its founding and continues to guide every consultation and treatment recommendation.

 

Professional Treatments and Medical-Grade Skincare

The Harper’s BAZAAR article highlights a growing industry consensus that professional treatments and topical skincare should complement one another rather than compete.

While advanced in-clinic technologies can address concerns such as pigmentation, acne scarring, redness, collagen loss and skin texture, medical-grade skincare plays an important supporting role by preparing the skin, maintaining results and protecting long-term skin health.

Together, they create a more comprehensive treatment plan than either approach alone.

Dr Joseph Hkeik’s contribution reflects All Saint Clinic’s long-standing philosophy of evidence-informed, personalised care.

By combining clinical expertise with tailored treatment planning and medical-grade skincare, patients are supported through every stage of their skin journey with recommendations designed around their individual needs rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

As aesthetic medicine continues to advance, integrated skincare remains one of the most effective ways to achieve healthier, stronger and more radiant skin over time.
