SKIN GLOW – Hydrafacial

The perfect way to begin your skin journey. Our Skin Glow treatment brightens dull skin, improves uneven tone, elasticity, moisturizes and removes both blackheads and whiteheads. This treatment is perfect for those with oily skin and maximizes the effects of skincare products and other professional treatments like Skin Light, Skin Tight and Skin Resurface.

The perfect city skin facial for deep cleaning pores and removing buildup like dead skin cells and pollution. There is no downtime with this treatment and almost all skin types are appropriate for treatment.

SPF must be worn post treatment.

SKIN LIGHT – IPL

As we age, our skin starts to lose its elasticity resulting in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and sagging. But not everyone ages the same, some people find that their skin starts to sag a little whereas others may notice pigmentation and/or dryness.

Lifestyle plays a part when it comes to the noticeable signs of ageing, particularly diet and exercise, but other factors also play a role like the weather and climate in which we live, and of course, genetics.

Our skin is exposed to many aggressions as we age. UV rays, harsh weather conditions and pollution, alongside bad personal habits, can cause serious damage to our skin.

We cannot avoid ageing, but there are many things that we can do to help reduce its signs and maintain a youthful, fresh and glowing complexion for much longer.

Patch test is required prior to treatment.

Skin Light is perfect for those wanting glowing, younger-looking skin.

This treatment helps reduce visible signs of ageing like fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, brown spots, visible veins, discoloration and uneven skin tone.

From the first treatment, IPL uses precise bursts of intense pulsed light to improve the appearance of your skin.

This is a safe and effective solution for premature ageing skin with no surgery or downtime. The light targets and reduces haemoglobin pigment inside visible blood vessels and dark pigmented spots.

IPL penetrates deep into the dermis layers rather than focussing on the top, resulting in less damage or harm to the skin. As skin cells absorb light energy, the heat it protrudes will help to tackle areas such as freckles and pigmentation spots.

This treatment is suitable for all areas of the body and anyone with scarring.

How the treatment is performed

The use of protective dark glasses is mandatory during the treatment.

Your Skin specialist will start by cleaning the area and applying a cooling gel. Then the IPL will apply light pulses to the skin. It may sting a little, or you may feel tightness.

Treatment can take around 30 minutes to complete, but this depends on the size of the treatment area.

Treatment times and courses vary. An improvement can be seen from one treatment. Typically a course of 4-6 treatments is needed for best results.

SPF must be worn post treatment.

SKIN TIGHT – Radiofrequency

This is a non-invasive, comfortable treatment that kick-starts collagen production. Skin Tight reduces fine lines and wrinkles, tightening skin around the cheeks, jaw and neck as well as reducing cellulite so that you’re left looking and feeling refreshed and vibrant.

But what is Collagen?

Collagen is a very important protein, essential for helping to keep our skin looking youthful, firm, glowing and healthy. It is found in connective tissue throughout the body, such as in tendons, skin, veins, bones and muscles.

Why is Collagen necessary for the skin?

As we age, we start to produce less of it and the loss of Collagen results in a lack of elasticity of the skin. It begins to sag and wrinkle, losing its thickness and firmness. Collagen is also necessary for skin cell repair and renewal and to keep the skin moist.

Other areas of the body will also suffer due to the lack of Collagen, the most commonly noted being  joint pain and stiffness surrounding the knees.

This is why Collagen is vital for helping to prolong our physical health as well as maintaining healthy, firm skin. In addition to a more youthful appearance, Collagen provides higher strength and resistance for the skin, leaving it toned and fighting the effects of ageing.

SKIN RESURFACE – Fractional Radiofrequency

Skin Resurface is a treatment used to diminish the signs of ageing, plus any noticeable skin damage that you may have.

It’s a suitable method for all skin types and the perfect solution for treating textural irregularities and scars, diminish stretch marks, reduce and manage rosacea, shrink enlarged pores and smooth deep wrinkles.

Skin Resurface rejuvenates and resurfaces the skin, while also reducing wrinkles and tightening your skin.

Skin Resurface uses a 160 micro-pin applicator to deliver nano fractional radiofrequency deep into the skin’s dermis. Your body then sets to work to heal these tiny wounds by stimulating and rebuilding Collagen to smooth out imperfections and correct uneven texture.

This revolutionary, aesthetic procedure is taking the world by storm, and it’s proven to be an excellent alternative to surgical procedures.

Patch test is required prior to treatment.

How does the system work?

Using Nano Fractional radio frequencies, alongside SmartScan Technologies, this treatment uses 160 micro pins to deliver thermal energy deep into the layers of the skin. The treatment works by initiating changes to the skin resulting in tissue regeneration as well as the collagen remodelling. The final result offers a fresher and more youthful skin.

The Patented Tip Technology allows energy to pass through, penetrating more deeply; it delivers around 700 pulses (largest spot in the industry) enabling 160 micro pins to pass through the Stratum Corneum with ease.

The technique is designed to enhance skin tone as well as facilitate changes to the skin, improving texture and tone plus any other problematic areas.

It’s an entirely safe method suitable for all types of skin and all ages being a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures.

The results are long-lasting, and this revolutionary solution can work wonders for anyone who suffers from acne, scarring, wrinkles and stretch marks, pigmentation or any other skin tone problems.

Unlike other procedures such as Laser treatments, which can often burn the surface of the skin, this technique deeply heats but doesn’t burn, resulting in quicker recovery times and speedy rejuvenation.

Do I need to have multiple treatments to see results?

The more treatments you undertake, the better the results. Clients usually see a noticeable difference around 2 to 6 months, following treatment. This is based on approximately four treatments (targeting specific areas) at four-week intervals, but since ageing is an ongoing process, it’s recommended to have at least two maintenance treatments per year to maintain benefits.

What problems would this treatment help to improve?

The treatment is designed to tackle most skin problems regardless of age, colour or sex. The most commonly sought treatment is for problem areas such as:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles due to ageing.
  • Irregularities to the skin surface.
  • Scarring from acne and surgeries.
  • Pigmentation, UV damage, brown spots, Melasma, Rosacea, Redness.
  • Saggy loose skin, stretch marks and open pores.

What about recovery afterwards?

One of the great things about Skin Resurface treatment is that the recovery times are much quicker than previously designed systems.

The treatment offers fast results at a rapid recovery rate. The system targets the deeper layers of the epidermis and the majority of the ablation is within, rather than on the surface.

Patients will endure a feeling of heat or warmth, similar to a sunburn (but relatively mild) immediately after, but this tends to only last for a short period, usually a few hours.

After around 36 hours recovery is pretty much complete but due to some slight sensitivity, it’s recommended not to apply anything to the skin for 48 hours and not to go out into the sun for around 72.
