Meet Megan…
With over a decade of experience in the beauty and skincare industry, Megan has cultivated a deep understanding of skin health, combining hands-on expertise with advanced aesthetic knowledge. Her journey began in 2013 after qualifying in Beauty Therapy, Facial Electrical Treatments, and Holistic Therapies at Gainfort Academy in Wexford. Eager to expand her skills, she moved to Dublin, where her passion for skincare truly flourished.
Megan’s love for skin took shape in Vedas Beauty Day Spa in South Dublin in 2014, where she decided to specialize in advanced skincare after falling in love with the methodology of the iconic French brand, Biologique Recherche. She then joined Biologique Recherche as a National Trainer, educating professionals on the brand’s renowned techniques. Her expertise deepened further at the Institute of Dermatologists, where she worked alongside aesthetic nurses and consultant dermatologists, gaining extensive training in laser and light treatments, chemical peels, PRP, radiofrequency, and skin needling.
Now leading The Skin Studio, Megan has come full circle—returning to her roots in facial treatments while bringing with her a wealth of knowledge from the aesthetic world.
“I’ve worked with all the technology—machines, needles, high-tech treatments—but I always come back to the balance of a facial. It’s a simple yet powerful combination of results-driven products and physical touch, something that is so often overlooked.”
Her personal experience with hypersensitive skin has given her a unique perspective on the connection between lifestyle, emotions, and skin health. Megan believes skincare should be approached much like fitness—through consistency, education, and habit-building. “We’re told to move our bodies to maintain strength and function, but what about the muscles in our face? Use it or lose it applies here too.”
At The Skin Studio, Megan’s goal is to create a space where skincare is both effective and enjoyable, blending high-performance treatments with a mindful approach. In her other role, as a part of Real Skin Solutions, she is also committed to fostering a sense of community amongst skincare therapists—“I don’t want to be an island. Supporting each other, learning together, and making skincare feel less overwhelming is what truly matters.”
“Stress and overstimulation show up on our skin in ways we often don’t realize. Skincare isn’t just about the products we use—it’s about creating moments of care and relaxation, tuning into what our skin really needs.”

What to Expect:
Prior to your treatment, your skin expert will assess your skin and discuss your goals to advise you on what to expect. With a wide range of actives to choose from, your downtime may vary, here is why;
Larger molecule ingredients such as Phytic Acid have an antioxidant effect and encourage a healthy skin barrier with little to no downtime post-treatment. While other, smaller molecule acids such as Glycolic Acid excel at exfoliation and renewing the skin surface resulting in light shedding/peeling of the skin post-treatment.
