    Fractional RF Laser Treatments

    Fractional RF Laser Treatments combine the delivery of Radio Frequency technology and micro-needles. As micro-wounds are created, this triggers cellular renewal and repair. RF Technology simultaneously stimulates collagen production to improve elasticity, texture, skin tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines. Our innovative technology can also address priorities such as 

    • Stretch marks on the body and acne scarring on the face
    • Reduce the size of enlarged pores 
    • Congestion 
    • Dull and lacklustre skin
    • Uneven skin tone

    Skin Needling

    Skin Needling uses Dermapen technology to gently and safely penetrate the skin. Containing micro needles on a motorised head, tiny micro wounds are created. This controlled trauma triggers cellular renewal and stimulates collagen production resulting in the overall rejuvenation of the skin. 

    Combined with the LED Light Therapy Treatment, the rejuvenation process is accelerated where yellow/clear LED light promotes healing, reducing your downtime. For optimum results and dependant on skin priorities, we recommend 4 to 6 treatments.

    Exfoliating products and DIY Scrubs 

    With ingredients easily available at home, DIY scrubs are easy to whip up, literally. However, there have been case studies where physical scrubs using natural ground up seeds directly contributed to irritation and unhealed microscopic tears. 

    Further up the price range, physical and chemical exfoliating products such as acids and scrubs can be easily purchased anywhere. With chemical exfoliating products, results often take several months to take effect and there’s always the temptation to increase the concentration level 

    Unlike DIY Scrubs and chemical exfoliant, Fractional RF Laser Treatments come with support before and after the appointment. 

    Dry Skin Causes

    As tempting as staying in the shower forever seems to be, exposure to hot water for long periods of time strips the body of its natural oils, resulting in dry skin. Decrease your chances of dry skin by limiting the time spent in the shower as well as moisturising afterwards. By excessively cleansing, the skin’s natural oils are depleted which leaves the skin feeling dry and compromises its ability to function. Increased exposure to the sun results in drying the skin of its natural oils.
