High Frequency Facial
-
High Frequency Facial Treatment is a non-invasive therapy that uses a high-frequency electrical current to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process. The treatment can help reduce inflammation, kill bacteria, and regenerate collagen, resulting in smoother, healthier-looking skin. The electrical current is applied to the skin via a glass electrode wand, which emits a mild current to the surface of the skin.
Benefits include:
Deep cleansing and disinfection of pores to prevent acne breakouts
Increased blood circulation and cell renewal to boost collagen production
Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles for smoother, firmer skin
Fading of hyperpigmentation and reduction of acne scars

Radio Frequency Facial
-
During Radio Frequency (RF) skin tightening, providers use an electromagnetic device that generates heat to stimulate the production of collagen, elastin and new skin cells. This nonsurgical facelift firms and lifts sagging skin. The results are temporary, but they're similar to a surgical facelift.
Radio frequency (RF) skin tightening can give you a more youthful appearance without the need for a surgical procedure like a facelift. Heat from a radio frequency device penetrates deep into your skin. It stimulates the production of collagen, elastin and new skin cells. Helps combat wrinkles, sun damage and contouring the face.
-
How long do the effects last?
RF skin tightening is a treatment with long lasting results, as it works to trigger the body's own natural healing process to increase collagen production. As a result, the effects of the treatment can last for between one to two years before patients will start to notice increased skin laxity again.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are typically minimal and short-lived, limited to mild and temporary swelling, redness, and tingling
How often will I need this treatment?
Every 3-4 weeks
How many sessions will I need?
3-6 sessions

Microdermabrasion Facial
-
Microdermabrasion offers deep pore cleansing and exfoliation. It gently removes the top layers of skin, whisking away dead and damaged cells, impurities, and debris. After a session, your skin will appear smoother, more vibrant, and be softer to touch.
Microdermabrasion is an effective treatment for a range of skin concerns, including:
Congested skin
Sun-damaged skin
Enlarged pores
Pigmentation
Fine lines & wrinkles
Excess oil production
-
Does it hurt?
No. You will experience mild scratching on the surface of your skin, but some clients have described this feeling as similar to the sensation of a rough lick of a cat’s tongue. Microdermabrasion is non-invasive and pain-free.
How to Prepare for Microdermabrasion?
There is little to no preparation required.
In the week before your session, you should take steps to avoid sunburns by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen during periods of sun exposure. You should also avoid harsh skincare products or other cosmetic procedures that make your skin more sensitive.
On the day of your microdermabrasion session, your skin should be product-free.
What Can I Expect After Treatment?
Immediately after treatment, your skin may appear pinkish and feel more tender than usual. This should fade within a few hours. There is a risk of bruising, but this is rare when an experienced practitioner performs the microdermabrasion.
Over the next couple of days, you may experience a sensation similar to mild sunburn. There is no downtime, and you can go straight back to your regular routine after a microdermabrasion treatment.
Aftercare
Microdermabrasion stimulates cell renewal by buffing away the tired and dull-looking surface layers of skin. To achieve optimal results, you need to follow the aftercare instructions your practitioner provides.
The following microdermabrasion aftercare tips help protect your skin and speed up the healing process for smoother, younger-looking skin.
Use Sunscreen
It’s important to protect your skin from the sun’s powerful UV rays. During the first few days following treatment, your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight. You should try to avoid direct sun exposure if possible and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Avoid Products That Could Cause Irritation
You should avoid exfoliating products and products containing harsh ingredients that could irritate your skin for at least 72 hours following microdermabrasion. It’s also important to avoid rubbing or picking your skin during this time.
Keep Your Skin Hydrated
After a microdermabrasion session, your new skin will feel softer and smoother than ever. It will also be more receptive to moisturisers. You can keep your skin feeling smooth and aid the healing process by using a gentle moisturiser as needed throughout the day.
Avoid Strenuous Exercise
A good workout can lift your mood and give your skin a healthy glow, but you should avoid pushing yourself for a few days following microdermabrasion. Your skin will be more sensitive post-treatment, and sweating could lead to irritation.
For the same reason, you should also avoid saunas and hot baths for a few days until your skin has fully healed.
Don’t Use Blood-Thinning Medications
Aspirin and ibuprofen both have a blood-thinning effect that can slow down the healing process. You should avoid these medications and others that thin the blood for 48 hours post-treatment. It’s also advisable to avoid alcohol consumption until your skin has fully recovered.
Dermaplaning Facial
-
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses a specific surgical blade that is designed to glide across the skins surface to remove any dead skin cells alongside removing peach fuzz. This gentle treatment reveals a fresh, healthy and glowing complexion. Dermaplaning is suitable for all skin types and is an excellent treatment to get rid of dead skin cells to promote healthy skin and improve texture. Depending on your skin, we typically recommend this skin treatment every 2-4 weeks to maintain the many benefits.
-
How is dermaplaning done?
Using a scalpel and delicate touch, the technician simply abrades the surface of the skin using light feathering strokes.
