Hands Are Valuable, Amazing, Powerful and Life Affirming
Once upon a time, there was a novel narrated by Enzo, a dog who applied racing techniques learned from his master, Denny (a race car driver), to navigating life’s challenges, love, and loss. One of Enzo the dog’s wishes is that in his next life, he will come back as a human and have hands with opposable thumbs. Our hands, these precision tools, are so much a part of us that we probably take them for granted, yet as much as they give us huge flexibility, they can also help with our health.

Opposable Thumbs.
Primates, Marsupials, Giant Pandas and even some frogs and birds have thumbs or ‘pseudo-thumbs’. Not quite fully as humans who have the highest level of ‘biomechanical efficiency’, i.e. how well the mechanical principles of bones, tendons, and ligaments work together to aid us in moving.
Hands Up
In fact, we probably don’t think twice, but our hands can perform intricate tasks; think writing, sewing, cooking, opening doors, driving a manual car, scrolling on our phones, alongside manipulating small objects, creating complex tools, playing musical instruments, and forming a closed fist. We probably don’t think twice when it comes to using our hands, but how often do we stop to think about what they do or even can give us back? Did you know, for example, your hand can be used as an identification tool to highlight your medical health?
Palm Reading
You’ve heard of palm reading for your fortune, but what about palm reading as a wellness check? The future is here, by scanning the palm of your hand, it assesses mineral deficiencies, heavy metals, antioxidants and vitamin levels in your body, giving an overall health guide. Now being used in health, skin care and overall wellness, it is more precise than a blood test, quicker and, of course, far less invasive.

This new technology treatment is a data-rich health profile that highlights the hidden imbalances influencing skin ageing, dullness, inflammation, fatigue and overall wellbeing. It is called OligoScan Advanced Cellular Tests
OligoScan Advanced Cellular Tests
OligoScan Advanced Cellular Tests are a non-invasive, rapid diagnostic tool using spectrophotometry to measure intracellular levels of minerals, trace elements, and heavy metals directly in the skin tissue.
Spectrophotometer
By scanning the palm, it provides instant results on 34-43 elements, including mineral deficiencies and heavy metal toxicity, bypassing the need for blood samples. Created via a Spectrophotometer, the instrument used measures the intensity of light as a function of the wavelength. Determining the concentration of solutions, analysing enzyme-catalysed reactions, and performing a purity assessment. Alongside analysing blood or tissue, such as determining oxygen saturation (SpO2) using pulse oximeters, as well as testing water quality for pollutants or heavy metals.
Head over to the heart of Knightsbridge, to the discreet location of Clinicbe by Dr Barbara Kubicka, where, before any treatment is taken, the team utilises this technology to ensure each and every patient is in the right health to have any kind of treatment. But taking it further, the clinic will not just analyse the result, they will sort out a program to heal what may be an issue, long before a doctor is able to see the manifestations of any dis-ease.
Firstly, after having the hand scanned, which takes only a few minutes, a report is compiled, and from here, a discussion takes place on the readings of the information. For example, too many heavy metals in your system, the clinic can help with that. What about Calcium, Magnesium or Iron? Not having the right amounts in your system causes an imbalance, leading to poor health and, in the long term, serious health problems.
‘Most people don’t realise their skin issues are rooted in deficiencies or toxic overload. With OligoScan, we finally get the full picture and can treat problems at the source, not the surface.’
Dr Kubicka
The scan allows Dr Kubicka to create highly personalised, medically-led plans that go far beyond standard skincare. From targeted supplementation and nutritional optimisation, tailored IV vitamin therapy, regenerative aesthetic protocols informed by biological data, detox strategies for heavy-metal exposure and anti-ageing plans based on measurable cellular findings.
The centre is run by Founder, Director and Lead Aesthetic Physician Dr Barbara Kubicka, MD, CIME/ICAM, MBCAM, who established the space to integrate her own unique concept in integrated skin and healthcare. She trained at the International College of Aesthetic Medicine, Paris, and she personally carries out a range of cosmetic and medical skin treatments

Other practitioners include Dr Severine Leonet, MD, CIME/ICAM, who has a career dedicated exclusively to aesthetic medicine from the outset, and has extensive experience and expertise in injectable treatments, energy-based technologies, and regenerative therapies. Renowned for undetectable, refined results, delivered with a gentle hand and a patient-centred approach. Alongside are Anna Jedrzejczak and Evita Smirnova, both of whom are Medical Therapists. The clinic has a large offering, including Cosmetic treatments, including Botox, fillers, peels, as well as mesotherapy, medical treatment for hyperhidrosis, hyperpigmentation, and thread-veins. The clinic was completely refurbished and opened in May 2013 with beautiful, luxurious furnishings and the latest equipment.
We may want to rethink our own hands and what incredible tools they are, with the combination of opposable thumbs, dexterous fingers, and a high concentration of nerve endings, which allows humans to perform amazing tasks. But let’s also consider how others’ hands can also be healing tools for us, with specific actions, especially here with medical and healthcare professionals. At Clinicbe by Dr Barbara Kubicka, it’s good to know you are not just in safe hands, healing hands, but also medically forward-thinking ones, too.
