Gender-Neutral Beauty Treatments: Why They’re the Future of Skin Health

The beauty industry is quietly rewriting its own rules. Gender neutral skin treatments — once niche — are now the new normal, delivering science backed results without labels or stereotypes. At the forefront of this shift is Registered Nurse Jamal Ammar, founder of Skin x Lulu in Camperdown, whose approach to laser facials, chemical peels and advanced skin therapies is resonating with Australians nationwide.

“Healthy skin doesn’t belong to one gender,” Jamal says. “Dryness, pigmentation, sensitivity — these aren’t male or female issues. Our treatments focus on authenticity: results that feel natural, no matter your age, identity or concern.”

Why Gender Neutral Beauty Is Booming

Consumers are increasingly rejecting gendered marketing and embracing personalised treatments that speak to their actual needs. Global search data shows a surge in queries like “skin barrier repair”, “laser facial benefits,” and glass skin treatments reflect a hunger for inclusive, results driven care rather than pink or blue packaging.

But inclusivity isn’t just about gender. It’s also about recognising mental wellbeing and self confidence.

“When people feel included and understood, it changes the way they see themselves,” Jamal explains. “Skin treatments can be empowering — it’s self care, not vanity. Removing the stigma around who ‘should’ book a facial opens the door for everyone to prioritise their skin health.”

Beyond Labels: The Science of Personalisation

Gender neutral doesn’t mean one size fits all. In fact, Jamal’s treatments are highly individualised. His signature Skin Glow facials and chemical peels are tailored to each client’s unique skin concerns — addressing hydration, tone, skin redness or acne — rather than assumed gender differences.

“Every face tells a different story,” Jamal says. “We customise based on what the skin actually needs, not what we think someone should want because of their gender.”

This clinical yet inclusive approach is resonating with clients from all walks of life — from professionals and creatives to parents and athletes — each seeking treatments that deliver visible, realistic results without feeling exclusionary.

Prescription Skincare, Designed Just for You
One of Skin x Lulu’s biggest differentiators is its use of custom-blended skincare, offering clients a completely tailored at-home routine to support clinical results.

The clinic formulates bespoke serums in-house using Universkin, a French medical skincare system trusted by dermatologists globally. Each formula is designed from scratch, combining active ingredients like niacinamide, azelaic acid or peptides, based on what your skin needs at that exact moment — whether it’s melasma, breakouts, or compromised barrier function.

Alongside Universkin, Jamal also works with iS Clinical, the cult-favourite clinical brand known for its antioxidant-rich serums and reparative formulas. Favoured by Hollywood facialists and medical professionals alike, iS Clinical products work synergistically with in-clinic treatments to maintain results and protect long-term skin health.

“Skincare is the foundation of everything,” Jamal says. “Once we’ve established that base, we build a treatment plan that aligns with the client’s lifestyle and goals — then we move into in-clinic therapies, and finally into a maintenance and prevention phase.”

“The consultation is where it all begins. It’s about truly understanding the client’s skin and creating something realistic, sustainable and effective — not just what’s trending on social media.”

A Philosophy of Enhancing, Not Distorting

At Skin x Lulu, the guiding principle is simple: celebrate what’s already there. Treatments aim to enhance natural features, creating results that are seamless and undetectable — a fresh, confident version of yourself rather than a “different” face.

Why It Matters to Cream Readers
