Epidermal Levelling Facia l

This non-invasive treatment involves the use of a surgical blade to gently exfoliate the topmost layer of the skin, specifically the epidermis. It removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair (commonly called “peach fuzz“), leaving the skin smoother and brighter.

Here's an overview:

Benefits of epidermal levelling can include:

  • Improved skin texture and tone.
  • Better absorption of skincare products.
  • A smoother base for makeup application.

The treatment is generally safe for most skin types when performed by a trained professional, but it may not be suitable for individuals with active acne or highly sensitive skin.

Microdermabrasion Facial

A microdermabrasion facial is a deeply rejuvenating skin treatment that exfoliates the outer layer of your skin, promoting a fresher and more radiant complexion. It’s a non-invasive procedure ideal for addressing various skin concerns.

Here's an overview:

  1. Refines Skin Texture: Reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.
  2. Brightens Complexion: Reveals a more youthful and glowing look by removing dull, dead skin cells.
  3. Minimises Pores: Helps clear clogged pores and reduce their size.
  4. Reduces Acne Scars: Smooths mild acne scars and other imperfections.
  5. Stimulates Collagen: Encourages collagen production for firmer, healthier-looking skin.

Treatment Process:

  1. Preparation: Your face is thoroughly cleansed to remove makeup and impurities.
  2. Exfoliation: A microdermabrasion device gently sands or sprays fine particles across your skin while suctioning away debris.
  3. Hydration: A soothing serum or moisturiser is applied to replenish hydration.
  4. Protection: Sunscreen is applied to protect the skin post-treatment.

This facial is suitable for most skin types, and the results are visible after just one session. However, for more pronounced results, a series of treatments is often recommended.

Lactic Peel

A lactic acid peel is a type of chemical exfoliation treatment that uses lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from milk. It’s known for being one of the gentler chemical peels, making it suitable for sensitive skin types.

Here's an overview:

Benefits of a Lactic Acid Peel:

  • Exfoliation: Removes dead skin cells, promoting smoother and brighter skin.
  • Hydration: Helps retain moisture, making it ideal for dry or dehydrated skin.
  • Improved Skin Tone: Reduces hyperpigmentation, age spots, and uneven skin tone.
  • Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Minimises the appearance of early signs of aging.

The peel is applied to the skin for a short duration, during which it loosens the bonds between dead skin cells. This allows the outer layer of skin to shed, revealing fresher, healthier skin underneath. The concentration of lactic acid can vary, with higher concentrations offering deeper exfoliation.

  • Use sunscreen diligently, as your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays.
  • Avoid harsh skincare products for a few days post-treatment.
  • Keep your skin moisturised to maintain its hydration.

Pigment Peel

A pigment peel is a type of chemical peel designed to target hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone. It typically contains active ingredients like lactic acid, kojic acid, and niacinamide, which work to reduce pigmentation by preventing melanin transfer to skin cells.

Here's an overview:

Benefits of a Pigment Peel are: 

  • Brightens skin tone and reduces discolouration.
  • Improves skin texture by exfoliating the outer layer.
  • Stimulates collagen production, promoting a youthful appearance.

The treatment involves applying a chemical solution to the skin, which exfoliates and encourages cell turnover. It can be used on the face and other areas with pigmentation concerns. After the peel, the skin may feel tight or appear slightly red, but these effects usually subside within a few days.

  • Use a high SPF sunscreen to protect the skin.
  • Avoid picking or scratching the skin to prevent scarring.
  • Stay hydrated and follow any skincare regimen recommended by your therapist.

Scarring Peel

A salicylic acid peel is a chemical exfoliation treatment that uses salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), to deeply cleanse and rejuvenate the skin. It is especially effective for oily and acne-prone skin types, as it penetrates the pores to dissolve excess oil and debris.

Here's an overview:

Benefits of a Salicylic Acid Peel:

  • Acne Control: Clears clogged pores, reducing blackheads, whiteheads, and breakouts.
  • Oil Regulation: Reduces sebum production, making it ideal for managing oily skin.
  • Improved Texture: Smooths the skin by removing dead skin cells.
  • Hyperpigmentation Reduction: Helps lighten dark spots and even out skin tone.

The peel is applied to the skin for a brief period, during which it works to loosen dead skin cells and impurities. This helps to promote exfoliation and encourages cell turnover, revealing a fresher layer of skin.

  • Avoid direct sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen, as the skin will be more sensitive.
  • Keep the skin moisturised to maintain its hydration balance.
  • Avoid harsh skincare products, like retinol or scrubs, for a few days after the peel

  • Minimises Pores: Helps clear clogged pores and reduce their size.
  • Reduces Acne Scars: Smooths out mild scars, especially those caused by acne.

  • Preparation: The skin is cleansed, and makeup is removed.
  • Exfoliation: A handheld device gently sands away the outer layer of skin or sprays fine particles with suction.
  • Moisturisers and sunscreen are applied to protect the skin.
