and I’m an Aesthetician & Electrologist and founder of Emerald Skin Studio.
I specialise in the removal of unwanted skin blemishes. I can help you achieve your skin goals in a relaxed and licensed clinic.
Emerald Skin Studio has lovely clinic rooms in Livingston and in Edinburgh.
“Amazing treatment very happy with the results. Honestly if I could give Derna 20 stars I would. She is just a lovely person who always put me at ease.”

“Derna’s service was absolutely fantastic. I had felt insecure for years about the skin tags under my eyes, so I was referred to Derna’s clinic for electrolysis treatment. Derna was so professional and made me feel completely at ease during the procedure. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, highly recommend ☺️”

“After my husband visited Derna to have a skin tag removed from just under his eye. He was so confident and recommended that we visit Derna at Emerald Skin Studio. We both booked appointments with Derna to have some Skin Tags removed from our neck. I was so impressed by how quickly and carefully she worked. She made me feel calm and at ease, explaining before and during what she was doing.
Thank you, for giving me confidence show off my neck!”
