Anti-wrinkle injections
Anti-wrinkle injections are commonly referred to as Botox. Botox is however a brand name.
These injections are used to relax muscles in the face that cause wrinkles to occur, this results in a more youthful appearance.
This medical cosmetic treatment is completely safe when administered by trained professionals.
The effect is seen within 14 days and lasts for approximately 3-4 months on average.
It is a quick procedure using tiny micro needles so discomfort is minimal. Normal activities can be resumed after treatment.
Consultations are required prior to treatment to assess suitability for this prescription only medicine.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal Fillers are made from naturally occuring hyalauronic acid. They are injected into soft tissue to help with facial wrinkles, replace lost volume, contour, define or add volume to facial features.
There are many brands of fillers, some of the ones you may recognise are: Juvederm, Restylane, Teosyal, and Belotero.
Dermal fillers are temporary as they are naturally absorbed by the body. The length of time a filler lasts depends on the individual, filler used and area of the face that it is injected in to.
Dermal fillers are safe but do carry some risks, albeit small risks and it is therefore imperative to have a consultation before treatment with a qualified medical professional who can deal with any complications should they arise.
Lip Fillers
Lip Fillers are dermal fillers which are made from naturally occurring hyaluronic acid. Every lip is different. Lip fillers can enhance the shape of the natural lip and add volume but it's not possible to change the shape of the lip completely. A set of lips on one person wont look right on another person because it's important to maintain natural beauty ratios with the rest of the face.
There are many brands of fillers, some of the ones you may recognise are: Juvederm, Restylane, Teosyal, and Belotero. Each brand has a variety of fillers which vary in the results they will produce, for example some are much softer than others.
Lip fillers are also injected using different injection techniques, this impacts the end of result and whether it looks natural or not.
Lip fillers are temporary as they are naturally absorbed by the body. Lip fillers tend to last 4-6 months on average.
Lip fillers are safe but do carry some risks, albeit small risks and it is therefore imperative to have a consultation before treatment with a qualified medical professional who can deal with any complications should they arise.

Electrolysis Hair Removal
Electrolysis is the only FDA approved method of permanent removal.
Unlike IPL/lasers that can offer permanent reduction is hair growth, electrolysis destroys the hair follicle so that hair removal is permanent.
Electrolysis is not limited by skin tone or dark hair like IPL/lasers and can therefore remove white and fair hair as well as dark ones.
The number of treatments required will depend on the size of the hair to be treated and where the hair is in the growth cycle.
Profacial
There are 3 options for our pro facial treatment:
1) Deep cleanse with aqua peel and extraction - This involves firstly infusing aqua peeling into the skin and then extracting impurities.
2) Collagen boost and lifting electrical stimulation - This involves a number of electrical stimulations to the face and neck:
Multipolar radiofrequency on the face and neck to remodel collagen and improve skin elasticity.
Ultrasound melts fat and cellulite cells, giving a smoother skin texture and helps to boost collagen & elastin. It also promotes blood circulation and lymphatic drainage.
Ion Lifting which stimulates skin tissue and muscles to improve skin elasticity.
Hydrating anti-ageing mask

- Make up literally glides on afterwards and sits more smoothly.
Dermaplaning is not aimed at shaving the face, the aim is exfoliation.. Vellus hair (peach fuzz) is removed during the treatment but this is an added benefit. Contrary to popular belief the hair on a female face will not grow back thicker, darker, coarser etc.
