Welcome to the official website of Dr Terry Loong (often known as Dr Terry by her patients).
Dr Terry is a qualified doctor for more than 18 years, having graduated from King’s College London in 2002. She first trained as a surgeon before specialising in Aesthetic Medicine in 2007. She started out her career, inspired by her late mother who suffered from hormonal acne and acne scars which led to her first book “The Hormonal Acne Solution”.
When Dr Terry was 30 years old, she was diagnosed with early stage cervical cancer which led her down the path of nutrition, lifestyle medicine and hormonal balance. Her philosophy as an Integrative Aesthetic and Hormone Doctor is to help her patients look and feel their best, with each passing year, naturally and holistically.

I have been treated by Dr Terry since 2010 she is an excellent Doctor who takes a real interest in her patients and any concerns that they have. Dr Terry is incredibly skilled at making you look as natural as possible , people know that you look good and an improved version of yourself – but they have no idea why. I like to see it as maintenance ! Over the years I have recommended Dr Terry to various friends of mine who like me have had excellent results. Dr Terry has the combination of being both technically skilled with what I call in the design world ” a good eye ” I cannot recommend her highly enough and I would not go anywhere else.

Dr Terry is an outstanding skin doctor. I have been a patient of hers for over 10 years and her perfectionism and accuracy of every treatment I’ve been given has been excellent, with each result being extremely natural and with hardly any downtime. This shows the first class skill and knowledge she has about all aesthetic and non aesthetic procedures.
I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Terry to anyone who wishes to look after their skin and maintain a youthful natural look regardless of their age.
I have also been following a recommended skin plan from Dr Terry and I can wholeheartedly say the products I’ve been using have made a remarkable difference to my skin.

I know we can get carried away on what to eat for clearer skin and balanced hormones but it’s also important to ensure we properly absorb much of the nutrients we are consuming
✨
So how can you improve absorption?
🔹 chew your food slowly so you’re breaking down the food as much as possible before swallowing
🔹 ensure you have enough stomach acid (HCL) to break down the food even more. Important for digesting protein.
One way to check is doing the Baking Soda Test
~ Dilute a spoonful of baking soda in water.
~ drink the water and wait for about 5 minutes
~ if you have enough stomach acid, this would create gas and you will burp within a few minutes
~ if it takes a long time or no burp, you may have low stomach acid
~ you may need to add betaine HCL to supplement
🔹ensure you have enough digestive enzymes to complete digestion. If you feel bloated, burping or reflux often after eating, you may be low in digestive enzymes. You may need to add a digestive enzyme to supplement
🔹Limit the amount of water you drink during eating because it can dilute the digestive enzymes
✨
If you’re eating healthy but still breaking out, try the tips above to ensure you’re absorbing the nutrients you’re consuming. Save this post for your future reminder 💪

This is the final post in the series - 5 hormonal imbalances that can causes acne. You can look back at my previous post to learn more about the other 4:-

Testing if high testosterone could be a contributing factor if you have acne
✨
As you go through the carousel post, there is some results which are my own so I know even if I do still break out, testosterone is not the cause for my breakouts
✨
If you find this useful. If you have any questions, let me know

What would you tell your younger self?
✨
I started my business at 29 years old, and I have never looked back. But if I could go back and tell that spring chicken ONE thing, it would be:-
“Creating a career outside the traditional box isn’t for the faint of heart, but you have to trust you're on to something good and don’t let anyone discouraged you from your dreams.”
If I knew that, I’d have more courage, stopped doubting myself and created better boundaries so I didn’t give my energy away so freely
✨
However, I’m thankful for my journey... it made me into the Integrative Aesthetic & Hormone Doctor I am today
✨
How about you? What would you tell your younger self?

Which comes first?
✨
Do you need to heal your skin before you love it or do you need to love your skin before it heals?
✨
I wonder about this as I see women struggling with skin concerns especially acne. I can see 2 women with almost identical circumstance but one heals and the other doesn’t.
We know there is a connection of the mind and the skin but I also believe there’s an energetic element to it. Your skin can feel your emotions and thoughts when you look at it or touch it.
Yes it’s important what products you use or the food you eat but how you talk to your skin is equally important. Skin cells are basically vibrational atoms which emits and absorb energy. If you speak to it lovingly, it is more likely to heal than if you speak negatively to it. It’s similar to speaking to flowers or plants and seeing it flourish when it knows it’s being cared for and not an inconvenience
✨
What is your view on this?

💪Healthy swaps 💪
What is one area in your life you can improve on that would contribute to being the BEST version of you?
✨
Is it:
A. Focusing on your health
B. Working on personal development (this includes self-love, self-care and being kind to yourself)
C. Prioritising your schedule?
✨
For me, it’s definitely A: focusing on my health. If I’m healthy, I have more resilience in dealing with all the pressures and responsibilities of modern life (on top of what’s going on around the world 😢)
✨
This week, I'm starting on a 21 day digestive reset, removing all sugar, gluten, dairy, peanuts and soy. These foods can be inflammatory, poke holes in our gut and throw our hormones out of balance. It’s something I teach my patients to help with their skin and hormones. I try to do a reset myself once every quarter. The aim is to crowd out the bad with good so we feel more nourished, rather than depleted
✨
What will you be working on to improve this week

Do you know what satisfies my sweet tooth?
✨
My sweet “clients” of course - Sorry but not sorry for being a little cheesy so early in the week 😂
Received this sweet message from Leanne on IG, saying
"Hi Dr Terry, I just want to say a big thank you. Thanks to your advice and for your book. I've pretty cleared my acne.
I can't thank you enough,"
It’s people like her that inspire me to do what I do.
✨
Who inspires you in your job?
