Welcome, I'm Carla Pooran, founder of SkinRenewal Clinic in Colchester, Essex - and a passionate advocate for long-term skin health, barrier repair, and expert-led skincare that delivers visible, lasting results.
With over 20 years of hands-on experience in the beauty and aesthetics industry, I've dedicated my career to helping people feel confident in their skin.
I've worked at some of the UK's most prestigious clinics, including the renowned Woodford Medical Clinic in London's Harley Street and an award-winning flagship clinic here in Essex. Along the way, I've worked with high-profile clients, beauty editors, journalists and bloggers - many of whom regularly feature the results of the treatments I provided.
I was also fortunate to train under Dr Carl Thornfeldt, one of the top dermatologists in the US. His pioneering approach to skin barrier repair (Corneotherapy) completely shaped my philosophy on skincare. Treating the skin barrier first is the foundation of everything I do – and it’s why my clients achieve long-term, visible results.
I know how it feels to struggle with your skin.
As someone who personally struggled with acne throughout my teenage years and into adulthood, I know first-hand just how deeply our skin can affect our self-confidence. This isn’t just my work - it’s my passion, my purpose, and something I truly understand.
After years of building a client base and training other professionals - including doctors, nurses and aesthetic therapists - I followed my lifelong dream and launched SkinRenewal Clinic in 2020.
I wanted to create a private, boutique skin clinic in Colchester – a place where I could deliver advanced skincare treatments, personalised one-to-one care, and truly expert advice.
I also wanted flexibility for my family – and a business built on passion, integrity, and results.
When the pandemic disrupted my original launch plans, I pivoted quickly. I began offering virtual skincare consultations and partnered with Get Harley, a platform that allowed me to recommend and deliver skincare globally. I built strong relationships with beauty bloggers, local communities, and clients who wanted not just skincare products, but the right advice.
Over the years, I’ve continued to invest in the clinic – bringing a little piece of Harley Street to Colchester and offering the most advanced, evidence-backed skin treatments in Essex and Suffolk.
SkinRenewalsproud to of been the first clinic in Essex to offer the multi-award-winning Byonik Laser® - a pain-free, celebrity-favoured treatment trusted by top London clinics - as well as the Sylfirm X RF microneedling device, a breakthrough technology for skin tightening, scarring, and pigmentation.
I’ve also introduced:
