Hydrafacial
Hydrafacial is a non-invasive, multi-step facial treatment that combines exfoliation, deep cleansing, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection. This advanced skincare technique is designed to improve overall skin health and address various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, congested pores, and uneven skin texture.
Hydrafacial treatments are popular for their versatility, gentle approach, and minimal downtime, making them suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns.
-
The Hydrafacial treatment typically involves several steps, including cleansing and exfoliation, gentle acid peel, painless extractions, hydration with nourishing serums, and protection with antioxidants. The process is customisable to address individual skin concerns and goals.
-
Yes, Hydrafacial is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. The treatment can be customised to address specific skin concerns and sensitivities, making it a versatile option for a wide range of individuals.
-
One of the benefits of Hydrafacial is the minimal downtime. Most individuals are able to return to their regular activities immediately after the treatment, as it typically does not cause significant irritation or redness.
-
The frequency of Hydrafacial treatments can vary based on individual skin concerns and goals. For optimal results, a series of treatments may be recommended initially, followed by maintenance sessions every 4-6 weeks.
Skin Needling
Skin needling, also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. This process stimulates the skin's natural healing response, promoting collagen production, improving skin texture, and reducing the appearance of various skin concerns such as wrinkles, scars, and hyperpigmentation.
-
Skin needling works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which triggers the body's natural healing process. This leads to the formation of new collagen and elastin, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
-
Skin needling can improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture. It can also help enhance overall skin tone and elasticity.
-
The level of discomfort experienced during a skin needling procedure can vary depending on individual pain tolerance. Most patients report mild discomfort during the treatment, which can be managed with the use of topical anaesthesia.
-
The number of skin needling sessions needed to achieve optimal results varies depending on individual skin concerns and goals. Typically, a series of treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended for best results.
-
Some redness, swelling, and mild sensitivity may be experienced immediately after a skin needling treatment, but these side effects usually subside within a few days. Sun protection and gentle skincare are recommended during the healing process.
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently exfoliate the top layer of the skin, removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). This process promotes smoother skin texture, improved skin tone, and enhanced product penetration.
-
Dermaplaning works by manually exfoliating the skin's surface using a surgical-grade scalpel. This gentle scraping action helps to remove dead skin cells, peach fuzz, and other impurities, revealing smoother, more luminous skin underneath.
-
Benefits of dermaplaning include smoother skin texture, improved skin tone, increased product absorption, reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and a brighter complexion. It also helps makeup to glide on more smoothly for a flawless finish.
-
Dermaplaning is a painless procedure that is often described as feeling like a gentle scraping sensation on the skin. Most individuals find it to be a comfortable and relaxing treatment.
-
The frequency of dermaplaning treatments can vary depending on individual skin concerns and goals. Generally, dermaplaning treatments can be done every 3-4 weeks to maintain optimal results.
-
There is typically no downtime after a dermaplaning treatment, and most individuals can return to their daily activities immediately. It is important to use sunscreen and follow a gentle skincare routine to protect and nourish the skin post-treatment.
LED Light Therapy
LED (Light Emitting Diode) light therapy is a skincare treatment that uses various wavelengths of light to address different skin concerns. The different colours of light can penetrate the skin at varying depths, stimulating cellular processes and promoting a range of benefits such as collagen production, reducing inflammation, and improving overall skin tone.
-
LED light therapy works by emitting specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by the skin's cells. This stimulates cellular activity, promoting the production of collagen and elastin, reducing inflammation, and accelerating the skin’s natural rejuvenation processes.
-
The benefits of LED light therapy include reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin tone and texture, reducing inflammation and redness, accelerating skin healing, and promoting overall skin rejuvenation. Different colours of light are used to target specific skin concerns.
-
LED light therapy is considered suitable for all skin types and tones. It is a non-invasive and gentle treatment that does not produce heat or UV radiation, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
-
The number of LED light therapy sessions needed to see results can vary based on individual skin concerns. Some individuals may see improvements after a single session, but a series of treatments is often recommended for optimal results.
-
LED light therapy is a painless treatment and is often described as feeling relaxing and soothing. The light wavelengths used in the treatment do not produce any heat or discomfort during the session.
-
There is no downtime after an LED light therapy session. Most individuals can resume their regular activities immediately after the treatment.
Medical Grade Peels
Medical grade peels are professional skincare treatments that use a combination of exfoliating agents, such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and trichloroacetic acid (TCA), to address various skin concerns. These peels can help improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
-
Medical grade peels work by applying a chemical solution to the skin to remove the outermost layers, promoting exfoliation and shedding of dead skin cells. This process stimulates the production of new skin cells, leading to smoother, more radiant skin.
-
The benefits of medical grade peels include improving skin texture and tone, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, minimising the appearance of pores, addressing hyperpigmentation and sun damage, and promoting overall skin rejuvenation.
-
The downtime after a medical grade peel can vary depending on the depth and intensity of the peel. Superficial peels usually have minimal downtime, with some redness and flaking, while medium to deep peels may require several days to a week of downtime as the skin peels and heals.
-
The number of medical grade peel treatments needed to see results depends on individual skin concerns and the type of peel being used. A series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results, and maintenance treatments may be necessary to sustain the benefits.
