Doctor and Pharmacist-led Skin Clinic in Hove, Brighton

Skin, considered differently.

Our work is centred on skin longevity: preserving and optimising the function, resilience and appearance of your skin throughout life.

We bring medical rigour to evidence-based assessment, prevention, monitoring and treatment – caring for the skin you have now while anticipating how its needs may change over time.

Why the consultation comes first

Treatment is not the starting point.

The Noaem Skin Consultation gives us the time to understand your skin properly. It combines clinical assessment with Observ520x imaging, revealing changes that may not be visible in ordinary light and establishing a baseline against which progress can be monitored.

Your plan may include skincare, treatment or both. It may also mean deciding that intervention is not appropriate or needed yet.

Healthy skin is more than an appearance

Skin longevity is concerned with how well skin continues to function, renew and recover, as well as how it looks.

Looking younger may be a welcome consequence of healthier skin, but it is not the sole measure of success. The aim is to help your skin remain resilient and behave well over time through consistent care and focused treatment where it can add genuine value.

Start with what you have noticed

You do not need to choose a treatment before contacting Noaem. Begin with the changes you have seen or the way your skin has started to behave.

Meet Iki and Dr Chris

Noaem was founded by prescribing pharmacist Iki Rhode and Dr Christopher Vary to bring medical rigour to the long-term care of skin.

Iki is a GPhC-registered pharmacist and independent prescriber with more than 20 years of clinical experience. Dr Chris is a GMC-registered doctor with a background in anaesthesia and critical care. Every consultation and treatment is carried out by one of them, with recommendations based on clinical judgement rather than a predetermined treatment pathway.

Patient evidence

What patients notice

Patients often describe their first consultation as more thorough than they expected. They mention how much they learned and that the recommendations were based on what their skin needed rather than what could be sold to them.

“Iki was able to immediately put me at ease, which was no mean feat as I was feeling anxious that a treatment/ intervention would be suggested at that appointment. Instead Iki spent over 1.5 hours with me exploring my concerns and talking through the options. Iki identified the importance of strengthening my skin barrier, and I left the clinic feeling reassured and heard.”

“Amazing consultation from Iki. She explained what was happening with my skin both on and below the surface and gave me very practical advice on how to help me feel confident again. I felt very comfortable and safe in Iki's hands - hugely beneficial that Iki and Chris are both medically trained.”

"Thank you Iki for a brilliant and informative consultation. You listened to what my skin needs were and now we have a plan in place. I felt totally at ease and I totally felt safe and happy with the outcome. Highly recommended and a big thank you."

"From the first consultation I have felt at ease and totally invested in the treatments and products Iki recommends. Time, attention and detail is very thorough and tailored to my skins needs. The results I have received are incredible. So much so I signed back up for another course of treatments. Dr Chris is also an absolute master with the needle. Again, very honest and thorough in assessing your skins needs with absolutely no pressure to have any treatments unless really needed. Highly recommended for their honesty, knowledge and passion in making people feel good about their skin without unnecessary extras or procedures."

From the Noaem Journal

The Noaem Journal brings together clear explanations of skin concerns, the evidence behind the treatments we offer and practical guidance on caring for your skin at home. Written by Iki and Dr Chris, it is also where we share clinical observations, new treatments and developments from the clinic, alongside occasional insight into how we care for our own skin.
