Specialised Facial Treatments

Microdermabrasion – Using a Diamond Head wand, the skin is gently resurfaced with no down time and no messy dust or crystals working through mechanical exfoliation, and it is beneficial to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by removing outer layers of dead skin. When the outer layers of dead skin are removed, it will stimulate new cell growth so that fresh and new skin pushes forth. This can begin to remove many existing deep fine lines and wrinkles, as well as to prevent new signs of age from appearing on the skin. Microdermabrasion is also used to reduce deep scars and acne scarring, while evening out the skin tone. A series of microdermabrasion treatments will work to remove this dark and damaged skin and hyper pigmentation so that the skin tone looks even overall. Microdermabrasion is perfect for rejuvenating the skin, and helping the complexion to look younger.

Ultrasonic Skin Scrubber – Is a safe and gentle device using “Sonic” frequencies which creates vibrations that is used for deep cleansing, soft peeling, extractions, exfoliation, massage, product penetration and even improve fine lines or wrinkle prevention. The Ultrasonic Skin Scrubber removes dead skin cells, dirt, excess sebum and debris. A thin metal spatula vibrates ultrasonically to extract pores without pain. It also prepares the skin for the infusion mode. The blade or spatula is a stainless steel blade that oscillates and glides over the skin. A flat side can be moved over a cream or serum to help it penetrate. Offering retexturing results with smoother texture, deep cleaning of the skin of face, neck and decollete, increased circulation which improves oxygenation for complete facial rejuvenation.

High Frequency – is used to help treat and prevent stubborn acne, shrink enlarged pores, reduced the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, decongest puffy eyes, fade dark circles, rejuvenate the condition of the scalp and nourish hair follicles for healthier hair.

Sparking – This has antibacterial and germicidal benefits, decongest keratinized follicles and healing pustules, papules and comedones more rapidly.

Effluvation – This method uses a glass electrode which is moved slowly over the skin, using gauze to control the amount of ozone that the skin is being exposed to. This technique creates a warming sensation increasing skin temperature stimulating circulation and increases sebum,improves hydration, calms the sensory nerves, increases cell metabolism, speeds up the elimination of waste and toxins and is used as a preventative treatment.

Galvanic – Is used to restore and rejuvenate mature skin and help reduce present wrinkles by tightening and clarifying skin and benefiting younger skin by promoting cellular health, helping it to stave off free-radical damage and premature ageing. Galvanic has two parts: Iontophoresis to penetrate water soluble ionised active ingredients deep into the epidermal dermal junction then Disincrustation which saponifies hardened sebum deposits.

Iontophoresis benefits include:produces an acid reaction to the skin, decreases blood supply, soothes facial nerves, warms and hardens facial tissue, restores acid mantle and refines pores.

Disincrustation benefits include: produces alkaline reaction, increases blood supply, softens facial tissue, breaks down acid mantle, relaxes pores, saponifies and has a drying effect on the skin.

Sonophoresis – Is used with ultrasound waves to stimulate micro-vibrations within the skin’s lipid bilayer and increase the overall kinetics energy of
molecules promoting transdermal delivery into the bloodstream. Depending on the products used during treatment, active ingredients are released deep down into the dermis to target the signs of ageing, dehydrated skin, photo damage, pigmentation, poor skin texture & acne.

Suitable skin conditions for Sonophoresis: • Photo ageing • Ageing • Acne • Rosacea • Psoriasis • Eczema • Wound healing • Erythema
