Skin Peels-img

Skin Peels  /

Clinical peels work by exfoliating skin cells and delivering active ingredients. Recovery time varies between individuals. We offer a range of peels that may address congestion, blemishes, acne scarring and pigmentation. A typical protocol involves four to six sessions, though individual requirements vary.

  • Salicylic Peel: This lipid-based peel may be suitable for individuals with oily, congested, and acne-prone skin. Its formulation includes properties that may address redness and inflammation associated with breakouts.
  • Glycolic Acid Peel: Using glycolic acid, this peel exfoliates the skin's top layer. It may target concerns about skin texture, fine lines, acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation.
  • Lactic Acid Peel: A milder alternative formulated with lactic acid. This peel may address signs of ageing, acne and hyperpigmentation, and affect hydration levels.

Healite II  /

Our Healite II is a medical-grade Low-level Light Therapy (LLLT) treatment. It uses a combination of red light and blue light. It may assist with acne and inflammation by targeting cellular processes.

Healite II can be used for individuals with rosacea or active acne, and as a post-treatment following invasive skin procedures. Multiple treatments may be necessary. Consultation required to discuss individual suitability, potential risks, and expected outcomes.

HydraFacials involve a three-step facial regimen to treat and prevent congestion and breakouts. The HydraFacial device uses water-based technology to deeply cleanse impurities from the pores while exfoliating and infusing the skin with ingredients.

  • Signature HydraFacial: A Signature HydraFacial involves a three-step facial regimen to cleanse, exfoliate and infuse.
  • Deluxe HydraFacial: This option combines a serum booster selected for your skin concerns with LED Light Therapy. LED Light Therapy may have anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, which can help to target acne and reduce redness.
