Sonophoresis is a safe, gentle treatment that uses ultrasonic technology, warmth and motion energy to significantly increase the depth and absorption rate of active ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin. Ideal for both face and body use. 

The skin’s natural waterproofing barrier can often impede the absorption of active ingredients. The oil/water bi-layers in the stratum corneum act as a defence barrier that serve to protect the lower layers of the dermis. Sonophoresis works by using ultrasonic technology to relax this natural barrier by opening up the intracellular pathways to allow the active ingredients to be absorbed.

Peels can significantly improve the appearance of skin imperfections such as, fine lines and wrinkles, irregular texture, dull and sallow skin hyperpigmentation and acne. Exfoliation of the skin is key to maintaining healthy functioning skin.

The skin naturally reproduces cells and brings new cells to the surface, however as we age this process slows down resulting in an abnormal buildup of cells. A peel provides a deeper exfoliation of the outer most layer of the stratum corneum, which in turn stimulates both cellular turnover and the internal structure of the skin, to activate and energise fibroblasts and collagen synthesis. Exfoliation of the skin also allows for optimal penetration of subsequently applied active ingredients.

Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical, safe and gentle procedure that deeply exfoliates and polishes the skin on the face and body to stimulate new cell growth. 

Combining a gentle vacuum system and diamond tips, Microdermabrasion removes dead skin cells and unclogs pores, to reveal a younger, fresher complexion. It is a non-invasive, pain free procedure which can be used to treat a number of skincare concerns, requires no down time and can easily be incorporated into any salon treatment menu. 

Dermaplaning is a skin treatment that removes dead skin cells and vellus hair which also increases product absorption. The results are instantly glowing, smooth skin and it makes makeup go on smoother.

Collagen induction therapy is also known as micro-needling/skin needling, it involves repetitive puncturing of the skin with sterilised micro-needles. The needles penetrate the skin (stratum corneum) and create small micro-channels with minimum damage to the epidermis. This leads to the formation of growth factors, stimulating neo-collagenesis and elastin in the papillary dermis. This occurs when the natural wound healing cascade is stimulated, which intern stimulates fibroblast to make new baby collagen. 

Skin Needling stimulates the production of your collagen to create smoother, healthier skin. It reduces acne scarring, stretch marks, fine lines, pigmentation, enlarged pores, blackheads and scarring.

Lympthatic Therapy is a tightening treatment mask for clinic and salon use. It’s designed to work with your circulatory system - an often overlooked, but vital component of optimal skin health. This organ system is responsible for removing waste via our lymphatics, and nourishing our cells and tissues via our blood supply. These systems always work together, taking and giving, maintaining homeostasis. The circulatory system plays a key role in a holistic approach to skin health. When our blood circulates around our body it provides nutrients (such as amino acids), water and oxygen to our cells and tissues. 

However during the capillary fluid exchange (where water, amino acids, and oxygen cross the capillary wall into the extracellular fluid), fluids don’t travel very far into the surrounding tissue, and even less when there are roadblocks. Which is why there needs to be a ‘clear road’, free from debris, so that these nutrients can get to their target. This is why lymphatic drainage is important to the health of your skin! It’s not only what goes into the body, it’s what goes into the cell.
