That's what your consultation is for. I'll assess your skin, understand what you're trying to achieve and recommend the treatments I think are appropriate for you.
I won't recommend a treatment simply because it's popular or because you've seen somebody else having it.
-
That depends on your skin, what we're treating and the results you're looking for.
Some treatments work best as a course, while others are suitable as occasional treatments. I'll explain what I recommend and why before we go ahead.
-
That depends on the treatment.
SkinPen microneedling: This has the most significant downtime of the treatments I offer. Expect redness, similar to sunburn, for approximately 24–48 hours, sometimes longer. You may also experience dryness, tightness or flaking over the following days. You'll need to avoid exercise that causes sweating, saunas, steam rooms and other sources of excessive heat for the period specified in your aftercare instructions.
AlumierMD chemical peels: Downtime depends on the peel used. You may experience redness, dryness, flaking or peeling over the following days. You'll also need to avoid excessive heat, sweating and certain skincare products while your skin recovers.
Mesotherapy, nappage and skin boosters: You may experience redness, small bumps or swelling around the injection sites. These normally settle within a few hours.
Dermaplaning: Usually minimal downtime, although some temporary redness or sensitivity is possible.
Relaxing Face Massage & Deep Cleanse: No downtime.
I'll explain the aftercare requirements before your treatment so you know what to expect and can plan accordingly.
-
Some treatments are more uncomfortable than others, but I'll always explain what to expect beforehand.
SkinPen microneedling may cause some discomfort, depending on the area being treated and the depth of treatment.
Mesotherapy and skin boosters involve small injections, so you will feel those. Chemical peels may cause tingling or warmth, depending on the formulation.
Dermaplaning and the relaxing face massage are generally comfortable treatments.
-
Yes, for corrective professional skin treatments.
I need to assess your skin, understand what you're trying to achieve and make sure the treatment is appropriate before going ahead.
Dermaplaning and the relaxing face massage and deep cleanse are available as standalone treatments.
-
That depends entirely on which treatment you're having.
Some treatments require you to stop using certain skincare ingredients beforehand, while others have specific aftercare instructions around makeup, exercise, heat and sun exposure.
I'll give you the relevant preparation and aftercare instructions for your treatment.
Professional Skin Treatments
Once we've established your personalised at home internal and external skin protocol, this is where professional treatments come in.
These are treatments you can't and shouldn't be doing yourself at home. They work at a level that skincare products can't reach and stimulate processes like collagen production, cellular regeneration and tissue repair that are vital for improving the overall structure and appearance of your skin.
They also carry inherent risks, which is why the equipment, the products being used and the experience of the person performing the treatment are so important, and why you should never try to carry these out yourself at home.
I don't believe every client needs every treatment.
What I recommend will depend on your skin, what we're trying to achieve and whether your skin is in the right position to benefit from it.
SkinPen Microneedling
Microneedling is my all time favourite treatment for stimulating collagen production, improving skin texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines and acne scarring, and improving overall skin quality.
I use SkinPen, an FDA cleared, medical grade microneedling device.
Mesotherapy, Skin Boosters & Nappage
Mesotherapy and skin boosters are treatments used to improve skin hydration, texture, elasticity and overall skin quality.
The formulation I use will depend on your skin and what we're trying to achieve. I don't use the same product or protocol on everybody.
AlumierMD Chemical Peels
Chemical peels use carefully selected acids to encourage skin cell turnover, improve skin texture and reveal fresher, healthier looking skin.
I use AlumierMD professional chemical peels, which can be tailored to address concerns including pigmentation, congestion, dullness, uneven skin tone and fine lines.
Modern chemical peels don't necessarily involve the dramatic peeling or downtime people often associate with them. Depending on the formulation, they can provide effective skin resurfacing with relatively little disruption to your normal routine.
Chemical peels aren't something I automatically include in a skin treatment plan. I'll recommend one when I believe it's the most appropriate treatment for your skin and what we're trying to achieve.
Dermaplaning
For me, dermaplaning is about removing excess vellus hair, commonly known as peach fuzz, particularly if you’re getting ready for a wedding, special event or big night out.
Makeup sits beautifully after dermaplaning.
Relaxing Face Massage & Deep Cleanse
Not every skin treatment needs to be corrective. Sometimes a relaxing facial is exactly what your body needs.
This is a deeply relaxing treatment that's great for both your nervous system and your skin.
You'll enjoy a gorgeous face massage followed by a deep cleanse, with appropriate serums and masks selected for your skin.
Clients always leave feeling relaxed and loving how their skin looks and feels.
It's not designed to correct underlying skin concerns. It's simply a really lovely facial treatment, and sometimes that's exactly what you want.
