Dermaplaning
What is it?
Dermaplaning is a skin treatment that uses an exfoliating blade to skim dead skin cells and hair from your face.
Dermaplaning aims to make your skin’s surface smooth, youthful, and radiant.
Your skin is exposed on a daily basis to harsh environmental toxins, irritants, and sun damage. This can cause the top layer of your skin to appear dull, and it can make you look aged. Dermaplaning clears away those damaged skin cells so newer skin cells are what you see when you look in the mirror.
What to expect?
You don’t need to plan any downtime to recover from a dermaplaning treatment. You may experience slight redness initially depending on your skin sensitivity right after the procedure.
You may notice that your skin looks brighter immediately after you’re finished with a dermaplaning treatment, but it often takes a few days to appreciate the full results.
What to expect after?
After a dermaplaning treatment, you’ll need to be extra careful about sun exposure., don’t leave the house without wearing sunscreen on your face.

What is it and what is it for?
This technique is an advanced electrolysis procedure developed to treat specific unwanted skin blemishes using shortwave diathermy. Problems such as sunspots, warts, skin tags, red veins, moles and other various types of skin blemishes can be safely removed or reduced and effectively treated.

What to expect after?
Depending on what has been treated the skin can take approximately 7 to 10 days to heal.
Initially the skin can be red as a surface layer may have been removed or cauterised this will form a scab or crust and this will shed naturally. When this has healed the skin can be slightly pink and will take a little time to rejuvenate and repair. It may appear lighter until it’s had light exposure and eventually will fade into your normal skin colour.

Radio Frequency
What is this new treatment you are doing?
It’s a three in one treatment- Radio frequency, LED and Vacum suction.
What is radio frequency?
The RF treatment uses a device that heats the deeper layers of skin to produce collagen. It uses Multi-Polar Radio-Frequency Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields (PEMF) that are completely safe and stimulate collagen growth, reducing wrinkles, sagging skin, and fine lines.
Because skin laxity happens around 35-40 years old, and the collagen levels begin to decline, RF therapy is recommended to preserve skin elasticity and induce fibroblast proliferation.
How does it work?
The Positively charged ions in the water molecules within your cells, try to line up with the negative poles
This causes the water molecules to crash back and forth against each other, generating heat between them causing friction which heats up the skin
Is it safe?
Since RF energy produces an electrical current instead of a light source, tissue damage can be minimised and epidermal melanin is also not damaged.
Who is it for?
Our Radiofrequency Skin Tightening treatment, also known as RF Skin Tightening, is suitable for all skin types 1 – 6 and for anyone looking to tighten, tone, create a contouring effect or firm up their skin. It’s a non-invasive, totally pain-free and relaxing treatment that delivers impressive results.
How many treatments will I need?
We recommend a course of 6-10 treatments depending on the concern and area of the face or body
The key to the RF Skin Tightening treatment is repetition. For the treatment to be effective, RF Skin Tightening must be performed at least once a week during the initial treatment period. After the initial course of 6 treatments, we recommend a maintenance treatment every 4 weeks.
What can I expect after the treatment?
Because the RF Skin Tightening treatment is non-invasive and pain free, side effects are minimal. You can expect some redness and warmth in the treatment area but this settles quite quickly after your treatment. Even better, there is no recovery time after RF Skin Tightening, so you can hit the ground running.
Does it hurt?
No, not at all. The great thing about RF Skin Tightening is that it’s non-invasive and pain free. The treatment works by warming the skin, which most people find to be pleasant and relaxing, similar to a warm stone massage. The skin heats up to around 40degrees.
Why do I need a course?
Initial results of a radiofrequency skin tightening treatment may start to be seen immediately and up to 2 weeks after the session, although it can take 6 weeks or even longer for full results to become evident. Collagen levels build gradually after treatment, which in turn produces skin improvement.
What areas can I have this done?
We can do all areas of the face including eyes and neck. We can also treat the body giving amazing results to upper arms, thighs, tummy tightening and bum lift!
Aftercare
One of the most asked questions is: “Can I wash my face after Radio-Frequency treatment?“. The answer is yes, you are allowed to GENTLY wash your skin after the procedure, but you are not permitted in any way to use scrubs or rub your skin.
Do NOT use any chemical or laser treatments after the RF therapy. Also, microdermabrasion or waxing, use of depilatories are not recommended for the next 3-4 weeks.
After the sessions, you might experience swelling, redness, warmth that usually settles within 24 hours depending on your skin sensitivity. We are happy to advise the best skincare routine following your for treatment if you want to experience 100% effectiveness of Radio-Frequency therapy.
Better hydration is also a must for great results to help with the transfer of heat into the skin.
A daily spf is also recommended
What is vacuum suction?
Vacuum suction helps lymphatic drainage, helping to detoxify, improve lymph circulation, reduce puffiness, reduce fluid retention, increase blood flow, aid cellular regeneration as well as encouraging toning and lifting in the skin.
Vacuum suction increases blood circulation and is effective to release tight muscles & fascia. By using vacuum this helps to reduce tension on the skin and tissues underneath which can soften and tone tight muscles, loosen and lift knots and connective tissue.
