OBSERV 520 – Skin Analysis
The skin is much more complex than what can be seen with the naked eye – that’s why we have chosen the Observ 520 skin diagnostic system for our professional skin analysis at Aesthetic Skin Co.
This state-of-the-art skin analysing system allows for advanced skin analysis at both the epidermal and dermal layer using skin fluorescence technology and six observation modes.
1. Daylight – The skin is seen in a controlled, natural daylight environment
2. Parallel Polarised – An enhanced view of the skins surface, fine lines, wrinkles, texture & pores
3. Cross Polarised – Suppresses surface shine for an unobstructed view of dermal structures, vascular conditions, inflammation and pigmentation
4. True UV – Exposes skin abnormalities on the surface and in deeper skin layers creating distinguishable fluorescent patterns
5. Stimulated Woods Light – Adjusts the spectrum of light to reveal diagnostic dimensions such as dehydration and oiliness
6. Complexion Analysis – Reveals inhomogeneities in skin tone, pigmentation and irregularities

Visible results will be seen between six to 12 weeks post-treatment and continue for up to 6 months. The first thing people notice is an improvement in skin turgor and elasticity. Collagen production can take up to three months to occur and the results can differ depending on the individual.
-
How many PRP sessions does one need?Depending on the size of the area, along with the desired results, we recommend a series of 3 to 4 treatments with 6-8 weeks between treatments. And there after maintains every 6-12 months when you start to notice dull texture returning.

-
What is Sweat?Perspiration (or sweating) is the human body’s way to regulate temperature and to cool itself down. Sweat is mostly made up of salty water, and in normal circumstances provides an evaporative cooling effect. As the moisture evaporates and disappears, the sensation of coolness quickly follows. This process however is not so simple for all people, whilst most of our bodies may experience the occasional sweaty situation such as nervous palms, some adults can sweat up to 14 litres of perspiration in just one day.
-
What causes excessive sweating?What is causing your excessive sweating will depend on the category of hyperhidrosis. There are two categories: primary and secondary. Primary hyperhidrosis is the most common, and the cause is still unknown. Primary hyperhidrosis typically starts in childhood and there is usually a family history of the condition. Secondary hyperhidrosis is when the sweating is caused by an underlying medical condition and may affect the whole body. Possible causes include hyperthyroidism, menopause, medications or obesity. Although treatment and technique is the same, dosage is individualised. This will be discussed with you during your consultation.
-
Who is hyperhidrosis best for?Hyperhidrosis affects both males and females. The most common area affected by primary Hyperhidrosis is the underarms. This treatment is best suited to those suffering from excessive sweating.

How often will I require treatment?Usually every 6-12 months depending on individual patient concerns and treatment.
-
How long does it take for the treatment to start working?It will generally take between 2-3 days for the injected anti-wrinkle treatment to settle into the target region.

-
How long do results last?Hyperhidrosis is not a permanent solution; however, patients report anywhere from 6 to 12 months relief.
-
If I get my underarms treated, will I create more sweat in other areas?No, Despite common belief, sweat is not transferred to another gland, creating further problems. Hyperhidrosis Injections regulate the over-production of sweat and it will not stimulate production in other areas.
-
What does the treatment involve?The nurse will first identify where the sweat glands are most active. This is done by applying iodine solution to the treatment area, then dusting with powder. The area turns blue/black where there is sweat. The area is marked with a surgical pen, then cleaned prior to injection. Injections are spaced approximately 2cm apart to treat the area. The needles are tiny, the injections are not deep and most patients report tolerable discomfort rather than pain.
-
Treatment preparationPlease shave underarms and avoid using over the counter antiperspirants or deodorants 24 hours before. It is advisable to avoid aspirin and non-steroidal medication, vitamin E and St. John’s Wort for at least 24 hours prior to treatment as these may increase the risk of bleeding and bruising. If you have been prescribed aspirin for a medical reason, it is best to continue this. If you have a bleeding disorder, or are taking Warfarin, discuss this with the nurse prior to receiving treatment.
-
Do I need to see a GP before treatment?It is advised to have a consultation with your GP before hyperhidrosis treatment. This is to exclude any underlying medical condition which requires treatment. Your GP will check for potential causes of secondary hyperhidrosis to avoid symptomatic treatment of hyperhidrosis without the diagnosis or treatment of the underlying disease.

Will my hair grow back thicker afterwards?No. It is a common misconception that your facial hair will grow back darker or thicker after dermaplaning. Dermaplaning does not interfere with the follicular structure of the hair, thus having no effect on hair growth whatsoever. The hair will eventually grow back, but it won’t change colour or thickness.
-
Does the treatment hurt & is it safe?Dermaplaning is effective by performing a gentle scraping motion across the skin’s surface, which is entirely painless. This treatment is extremely safe when performed by a properly trained skincare professional.
-
What are the benefits of Dermaplaning treatments?Removal of build-up of dead skin cells that cause your skin to look dry, dull & textured Improved penetration of cosmeceutical skincare A great alternative for those too sensitive for peels or hydrodermabrasion Assists in a smoother makeup application Rejuvenates the skin for a fresher look & instant glow Helps to fade away acne scars Minimises the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles Non-invasive, painless with no downtime Can be performed every 4 weeks Can be combined with other treatments such as skin peels
-
How often can I have a dermaplaning treatment?Dermaplaning treatments can safely be performed every 2-4 weeks.
-
What is the benefit of adding a chemical peel with Dermaplaning?Hyperkeratosis is a build-up of dead skin cells on the skin’s surface. By removing this initial layer, a chemical peel is able to penetrate deeper into the dermis resulting in a more effective treatment. The conjunction of dermaplaning and a chemical peel leaves the skin refreshed and rejuvenated. Together they promote new skin growth and target problems such as aging, sun spots and environmental damage.
-
What to do after Dermaplaning?· Avoid direct sun exposure / extreme heat for 3 days · Avoid chlorine for 1 week · Do not use scrubs or other exfoliators for 5-7 days · Apply skincare prescribed by your therapist · Use sunscreen over SPF 30+

How does the Venus viva RF work?
Venus Viva RF skin resurfacing treatments work by using an applicator that contains 160 tiny pins (without any needles required), these tiny pins safely deliver heat into the surface of the skin, to create a pathway in order to deliver Nano Fractional Radio Frequency through the outermost layers of the skin which then travel down through all layers of the epidermis, and through to the dermis beneath.
The Nano-Fractional Radio Frequency and Smart-Scan technology works to effectively stimulate new fibroblasts growth and rebuild collagen, whilst simultaneously working to resurface the outer layers of the epidermis. This process is designed to resurface the skin, which helps reduce the appearance of acne scars and other scars, stretch marks, rosacea, fine lines and deep wrinkles, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture and pigmentation achieving an overall smoother and clearer skin complexion.
The Venus Viva RF is an advanced, non-surgical solution for face resurfacing that works to deliver total skin rejuvenation to decrease visible pores for even skin texture, reduce signs of ageing for a more youthful look, even out textural irregularities for refined skin, reduce acne scars for a clearer complexions, reduce deep lines and wrinkles for younger looking skin and tighten and firm the face, neck and decolletage areas.
Venus Viva RF skin rejuvenation treatment
Venus Viva is designed to deliver columns of radio frequency energy in order to damage the existing collagen and stimulate the healing response in the body. Once the collagen has been damaged the body begins to repair by forming new collagen. The radio frequency also stimulates the body to produce new fibroblasts cells these cells make up two types of proteins such as collagen and elastin helping to achieve overall skin rejuvenation.
The wound healing response creates a smoother appearance to the skin to reduce pore size, plump up fine lines and wrinkles, treats acne scars, and reduces pigmented lesions and textural irregularities of the skin.
General skin improvement can be seen within a matter of days. However, as collagen remodelling happens in the deeper layers of the skin, total skin improvement including smoothing and tightening can take several months to occur. Gradual improvement can continue to occur for up to a year following a series of treatments.

Venus Viva Scar Revision
The Venus Viva utilises nano fractional RF (Radio Frequency) technology without needling to remodel collagen and gentle resurface the skin, to minimise surgical and traumatic scars.
How The Venus RF works on scars?
The device works by piercing the skin with micro columns of RF energy deep into the layers of the skin, leaving surrounding tissues in-tact and rapidly stimulating the body’s natural healing responses. These dermal injuries can perforate fibrous scar tissue which lifts depressions (scars and fine lines) from the bottom up, whilst the tissue heating causes tissues to contract, resulting in a softer, smoother and firmer looking skin.

-
Acne scars

-
What is Sweat?Perspiration (or sweating) is the human body’s way to regulate temperature and to cool itself down. Sweat is mostly made up of salty water, and in normal circumstances provides an evaporative cooling effect. As the moisture evaporates and disappears, the sensation of coolness quickly follows. This process however is not so simple for all people, whilst most of our bodies may experience the occasional sweaty situation such as nervous palms, some adults can sweat up to 14 litres of perspiration in just one day.
-
What causes excessive sweating?What is causing your excessive sweating will depend on the category of hyperhidrosis. There are two categories: primary and secondary. Primary hyperhidrosis is the most common, and the cause is still unknown. Primary hyperhidrosis typically starts in childhood and there is usually a family history of the condition. Secondary hyperhidrosis is when the sweating is caused by an underlying medical condition and may affect the whole body. Possible causes include hyperthyroidism, menopause, medications or obesity. Although treatment and technique is the same, dosage is individualised. This will be discussed with you during your consultation.
-

-
How long does it take for the treatment to start working?It will generally take between 2-3 days for the injected anti-wrinkle treatment to settle into the target region. Therefore it is important during this time to refrain from massaging, rubbing or applying heavy pressure to the treatment areas. It is also best to abstain from exercise for 48 hours post treatment
-
How long do results last?Hyperhidrosis is not a permanent solution; however, patients report anywhere from 6 to 12 months relief.
-
If I get my underarms treated, will I create more sweat in other areas?No, Despite common belief, sweat is not transferred to another gland, creating further problems. Hyperhidrosis Injections regulate the over-production of sweat and it will not stimulate production in other areas.
-
What does the treatment involve?The nurse will first identify where the sweat glands are most active. This is done by applying iodine solution to the treatment area, then dusting with powder. The area turns blue/black where there is sweat. The area is marked with a surgical pen, then cleaned prior to injection. Injections are spaced approximately 2cm apart to treat the area. The needles are tiny, the injections are not deep and most patients report tolerable discomfort rather than pain.
-
Treatment preparationPlease shave underarms and avoid using over the counter antiperspirants or deodorants 24 hours before. It is advisable to avoid aspirin and non-steroidal medication, vitamin E and St. John’s Wort for at least 24 hours prior to treatment as these may increase the risk of bleeding and bruising. If you have been prescribed aspirin for a medical reason, it is best to continue this. If you have a bleeding disorder, or are taking Warfarin, discuss this with the nurse prior to receiving treatment.
-
Do I need to see a GP before treatment?It is advised to have a consultation with your GP before hyperhidrosis treatment. This is to exclude any underlying medical condition which requires treatment. Your GP will check for potential causes of secondary hyperhidrosis to avoid symptomatic treatment of hyperhidrosis without the diagnosis or treatment of the underlying disease.
-

Some improvement will be seen after each peel, but it typically takes a series of 6-8 peels to see the full effect.
-
Can I combine peels with other treatments?A selection of our Medical Grade Peels can be safely be combined with other skin treatments including Hydrodermabrasion, Dermaplaning, LED Light Therapy and Micro-needling.

How will I know which peel is best suited to me?There are many peels that are suitable for different skin conditions and skin types. In order to determine the most suitable peel for your skin type it is important to book in for a OBSERV 520 skin analysis with one of our highly trained skin therapists.
-
How do I prepare for a chemical peel?Depending on the chemical peel being performed, you may be required to use prescribed cosmeceutical skin care for approximately two weeks prior to your treatment. This ensures the patients skin is adequately prepped for the treatment and helps our Skin Therapist’s to evaluate and determine any potential sensitivities that can be avoided. Prepping the skin with cosmeceutical skincare prior to undergoing treatment will ensure you receive the best possible result with minimal downtime. You will also be required to stop using any exfoliants/scrubs or undergo any waxing or threading for a least 3 days prior to your treatment.
-
What do I do after receiving a chemical peel?Depending on the type of peel, you may notice that the skin is more red than usual for a few hours afterwards, you may also notice that the skin feels tight or dry and or you may experience some mild flaky skin for a few days. It is important not to pick or peel any skin, but to let any flaking skin fall off naturally. It is important to use the skincare prescribed by your therapist post treatment to ensure the best possible results. - Avoid excessive heat to the area such as hot showers, exercise, saunas, spas for 24 hours - Avoid using any exfoliants on the skin for 5-7 days - Avoid waxing or plucking the area treated for 10 days - The use of an SPF 50+ every day is essential - Only use Cosmeceutical skincare prescribed from your Skin Therapist

What are the symptoms of hay fever?The most common symptoms of hay fever sufferers are nasal symptoms such as congestion, runny nose or blocked nose, sneezing, nasal itching, sinus pain or discomfort and loss of smell. Eye itching, eye redness, eye watering, headaches and even daytime lethargy are common symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
-
What are the benefits?Most hay fever sufferers will take hay fever medication daily, especially during the spring and summer months when airborne grass pollens are most prevalent.

Some patients may opt to have this type of treatment to avoid side effects they may be experiencing from oral medication and nasal sprays.
-
How do I prepare for the treatment?For optimal results we recommend performing a FESS® nasal & sinus wash gentle strength 1 hour prior to your treatment appointment. These can be purchased from most pharmacies. Performing the nasal rinse prior to treatment allows the medication to have better contact with the nasal passage, and in turn, allows more of the product to reach and target the nerves that trigger your hay fever symptoms. Do not use any nasal sprays for 24hours prior to the procedure.
-
What is the treatment process like and is it painful?The process is very quick and without any discomfort. The product is sprayed into each nostril using an atomiser designed specifically for the nasal passage. No needles or injections required.

-
Are there any side effects?The treatment is very safe and effective. No side effects have been reported after this treatment.
-
How many treatments will I need?Often patients opt to have one treatment at the commencement of hay fever season. Some patients will have a repeat treatment after 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the severity of the hay fever season and their symptoms.

Will my hair grow back thicker afterwards?No. It is a common misconception that your facial hair will grow back darker or thicker after dermaplaning. Dermaplaning does not interfere with the follicular structure of the hair, thus having no effect on hair growth whatsoever. The hair will eventually grow back, but it won’t change colour or thickness.
-
Does the treatment hurt & is it safe?Dermaplaning is effective by performing a gentle scraping motion across the skin’s surface, which is entirely painless. This treatment is extremely safe when performed by a properly trained skincare professional.
-
What are the benefits of Dermaplaning treatments?Removal of build-up of dead skin cells that cause your skin to look dry, dull & textured Improved penetration of cosmeceutical skincare A great alternative for those too sensitive for peels or hydrodermabrasion Assists in a smoother makeup application Rejuvenates the skin for a fresher look & instant glow Helps to fade away acne scars Minimises the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles Non-invasive, painless with no downtime Can be performed every 4 weeks Can be combined with other treatments such as skin peels
-
How often can I have a dermaplaning treatment?Dermaplaning treatments can safely be performed every 2-4 weeks.
-
What is the benefit of adding a chemical peel with Dermaplaning?Hyperkeratosis is a build-up of dead skin cells on the skin’s surface. By removing this initial layer, a chemical peel is able to penetrate deeper into the dermis resulting in a more effective treatment. The conjunction of dermaplaning and a chemical peel leaves the skin refreshed and rejuvenated. Together they promote new skin growth and target problems such as aging, sun spots and environmental damage.
-
What to do after Dermaplaning?· Avoid direct sun exposure / extreme heat for 3 days · Avoid chlorine for 1 week · Do not use scrubs or other exfoliators for 5-7 days · Apply skincare prescribed by your therapist · Use sunscreen over SPF 30+
-

Troubled by skin laxity, wrinkles or ageing facial contours? Venus Viva is one of the most sophisticated radiofrequency devices on the market. Noninvasive skin tightening with the Venus DiamondPolar applicator produces a therapeutic “heat matrix” that firms early signs of sagging skin and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. The Venus DiamondPolar applicator can be used on its own or as a complement to the Venus Viva NanoFractional Radiofrequency treatment for enhanced results.
How does the DiamondPolar work?
Venus DiamondPolar combines Multi Polar Radio Frequency and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields that deliver heat into the tissue. The heat causes the skin’s collagen fibers to contract and tighten, stimulating new collagen and elastin production through the release of the growth factors which results in tighter, smoother skin and a firmer, more toned appearance, giving you an immediate healthy glow. The procedure is painless, and patients typically experience a warm, comfortable sensation during the treatment.
The DiamondPolar features advanced technology:
What Is Multi-Polar Radiofrequency (RF)?
Multi-polar RF generates a precise controlled radio frequency energy at optimal tissue depths, stimulating the body’s natural healing response. This results in increased production of fibroblasts, elastin and collagen. Over time, the remodelling process gives rise to firmer skin that looks noticeably smoother and more youthful.
What Is Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Technology?
PEMF is a non-thermal technology that serves multiple purposes in the Venus DiamondPolar treatment. PEMF is known to induce new collagen production, increase blood flow to the skin, and reduce pain and inflammation. It assists in overall repairing and improving the quality of the skin.
Venus DiamondPolar can Treat:
-
Jawline & jowl tightening
-
Eyebrow lifting
-
Facial contouring
-
Skin Laxity
-
Fine lines & wrinkles

Benefits of PRPPRP treatments dramatically boost your natural collagen production to help stimulate a youthful glow – improving. Fine lines and wrinkles Uneven skin tone and texture Dull or dry skin Loss of volume Acne scarring Post Traumatic scars
-
How it works?Our highly trained registered nurse begins the PRP treatment by taking the client’s blood and placing it in a specialised centrifuge device. From here, we extract the most nutrient rich properties (The plasma) many injectors call this liquid Gold! The plasma component is then placed just under the skin by superficial injections. By placing these natural healing substances back into the area of concern will stimulate repair and regenerate damaged skin for a healthier and more refreshed, glowing appearance.
-
Who is this treatment suitable for?Most people benefit from PRP treatment, although there are a few medical conditions that are contraindications to treatment. However before treatment begins a consultation is undertaken to discuss your medical and cosmetic history, this will help us to determine suitability for treatment.
-
When can results be seen?PRP will begin working under the skin immediately, making new cells to help improve the surface layers of skin. Visible results will be seen between six to 12 weeks post-treatment and continue for up to 6 months. The first thing people notice is an improvement in skin turgor and elasticity. Collagen production can take up to three months to occur and the results can differ depending on the individual.
-
How many PRP sessions does one need?Depending on the size of the area, along with the desired results, we recommend a series of 3 to 4 treatments with 6-8 weeks between treatments. And there after maintains every 6-12 months when you start to notice dull texture returning.
-

Your past and present medical history, as well as your past cosmetic history will be assessed during your consultation to determine your suitability.
-
What is Sweat?Perspiration (or sweating) is the human body’s way to regulate temperature and to cool itself down. Sweat is mostly made up of salty water, and in normal circumstances provides an evaporative cooling effect. As the moisture evaporates and disappears, the sensation of coolness quickly follows. This process however is not so simple for all people, whilst most of our bodies may experience the occasional sweaty situation such as nervous palms, some adults can sweat up to 14 litres of perspiration in just one day.
-
What causes excessive sweating?What is causing your excessive sweating will depend on the category of hyperhidrosis. There are two categories: primary and secondary. Primary hyperhidrosis is the most common, and the cause is still unknown. Primary hyperhidrosis typically starts in childhood and there is usually a family history of the condition. Secondary hyperhidrosis is when the sweating is caused by an underlying medical condition and may affect the whole body. Possible causes include hyperthyroidism, menopause, medications or obesity. Although treatment and technique is the same, dosage is individualised. This will be discussed with you during your consultation.
-
Who is hyperhidrosis best for?Hyperhidrosis affects both males and females. The most common area affected by primary Hyperhidrosis is the underarms. This treatment is best suited to those suffering from excessive sweating.
-
How often will I require treatment?Usually every 6-12 months depending on individual patient concerns and treatment.
-
How long does it take for the treatment to start working?It will generally take between 2-3 days for the injected anti-wrinkle treatment to settle into the target region. Therefore it is important during this time to refrain from massaging, rubbing or applying heavy pressure to the treatment areas. It is also best to abstain from exercise for 48 hours post treatment
-
How long do results last?Hyperhidrosis is not a permanent solution; however, patients report anywhere from 6 to 12 months relief.
-
If I get my underarms treated, will I create more sweat in other areas?No, Despite common belief, sweat is not transferred to another gland, creating further problems. Hyperhidrosis Injections regulate the over-production of sweat and it will not stimulate production in other areas.
-
What does the treatment involve?The nurse will first identify where the sweat glands are most active. This is done by applying iodine solution to the treatment area, then dusting with powder. The area turns blue/black where there is sweat. The area is marked with a surgical pen, then cleaned prior to injection. Injections are spaced approximately 2cm apart to treat the area. The needles are tiny, the injections are not deep and most patients report tolerable discomfort rather than pain.
-
Treatment preparationPlease shave underarms and avoid using over the counter antiperspirants or deodorants 24 hours before. It is advisable to avoid aspirin and non-steroidal medication, vitamin E and St. John’s Wort for at least 24 hours prior to treatment as these may increase the risk of bleeding and bruising. If you have been prescribed aspirin for a medical reason, it is best to continue this. If you have a bleeding disorder, or are taking Warfarin, discuss this with the nurse prior to receiving treatment.
-
Do I need to see a GP before treatment?It is advised to have a consultation with your GP before hyperhidrosis treatment. This is to exclude any underlying medical condition which requires treatment. Your GP will check for potential causes of secondary hyperhidrosis to avoid symptomatic treatment of hyperhidrosis without the diagnosis or treatment of the underlying disease.
-

Together they promote new skin growth and target problems such as aging, sun spots and environmental damage.

Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a skin rejuvenation treatment designed to promote radiant, glowing skin by removing dead skin cells, fine vellus hair and bacteria from the surface of the skin using a sterile surgical blade.
The surgical blade is gently worked over the skin on a 45-degree angle, removing the outer layers of dead skin cells as well as removing fine vellus hairs or ‘peach fuzz’.
Dermaplaning can be used as an alternative to chemical peel treatments and Hydrodermabrasion or alongside them for enhanced results. This procedure will give your skin a more radiant appearance and smooth texture. Following the treatment, makeup application is smoother and other skincare products are able to penetrate deeper into the skin in turn, making them more effective.
Dermaplaning can also address:
- Dry or rough skin
- Blonde hair that cannot be laser treated
- Sensitive skin types
- Ingrown hairs after waxing treatments
- Slow cell turnover rate
- Dull/uneven skin

Sweat is mostly made up of salty water, and in normal circumstances provides an evaporative cooling effect. As the moisture evaporates and disappears, the sensation of coolness quickly follows. This process however is not so simple for all people, whilst most of our bodies may experience the occasional sweaty situation such as nervous palms, some adults can sweat up to 14 litres of perspiration in just one day.
-
What causes excessive sweating?What is causing your excessive sweating will depend on the category of hyperhidrosis. There are two categories: primary and secondary. Primary hyperhidrosis is the most common, and the cause is still unknown. Primary hyperhidrosis typically starts in childhood and there is usually a family history of the condition. Secondary hyperhidrosis is when the sweating is caused by an underlying medical condition and may affect the whole body. Possible causes include hyperthyroidism, menopause, medications or obesity. Although treatment and technique is the same, dosage is individualised. This will be discussed with you during your consultation.
-
Who is hyperhidrosis best for?Hyperhidrosis affects both males and females. The most common area affected by primary Hyperhidrosis is the underarms. This treatment is best suited to those suffering from excessive sweating.
-
How often will I require treatment?Usually every 6-12 months depending on individual patient concerns and treatment.
-
How long does it take for the treatment to start working?It will generally take between 2-3 days for the injected anti-wrinkle treatment to settle into the target region. Therefore it is important during this time to refrain from massaging, rubbing or applying heavy pressure to the treatment areas. It is also best to abstain from exercise for 48 hours post treatment
-
How long do results last?Hyperhidrosis is not a permanent solution; however, patients report anywhere from 6 to 12 months relief.
-
If I get my underarms treated, will I create more sweat in other areas?No, Despite common belief, sweat is not transferred to another gland, creating further problems. Hyperhidrosis Injections regulate the over-production of sweat and it will not stimulate production in other areas.
-
What does the treatment involve?The nurse will first identify where the sweat glands are most active. This is done by applying iodine solution to the treatment area, then dusting with powder. The area turns blue/black where there is sweat. The area is marked with a surgical pen, then cleaned prior to injection. Injections are spaced approximately 2cm apart to treat the area. The needles are tiny, the injections are not deep and most patients report tolerable discomfort rather than pain.
-
Treatment preparationPlease shave underarms and avoid using over the counter antiperspirants or deodorants 24 hours before. It is advisable to avoid aspirin and non-steroidal medication, vitamin E and St. John’s Wort for at least 24 hours prior to treatment as these may increase the risk of bleeding and bruising. If you have been prescribed aspirin for a medical reason, it is best to continue this. If you have a bleeding disorder, or are taking Warfarin, discuss this with the nurse prior to receiving treatment.
-
Do I need to see a GP before treatment?It is advised to have a consultation with your GP before hyperhidrosis treatment. This is to exclude any underlying medical condition which requires treatment. Your GP will check for potential causes of secondary hyperhidrosis to avoid symptomatic treatment of hyperhidrosis without the diagnosis or treatment of the underlying disease.
-
What is the skin needling procedure like?The procedure is well tolerated.

-
How many skin needling procedures will I need?The number of treatments depends on the individual skin condition, area size and desired outcome.

Eye itching, eye redness, eye watering, headaches and even daytime lethargy are common symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
-
What are the benefits?Most hay fever sufferers will take hay fever medication daily, especially during the spring and summer months when airborne grass pollens are most prevalent.

-
How do I prepare for the treatment?For optimal results we recommend performing a FESS® nasal & sinus wash gentle strength 1 hour prior to your treatment appointment. These can be purchased from most pharmacies. Performing the nasal rinse prior to treatment allows the medication to have better contact with the nasal passage, and in turn, allows more of the product to reach and target the nerves that trigger your hay fever symptoms. Do not use any nasal sprays for 24hours prior to the procedure.

-
Will my hair grow back thicker afterwards?No. It is a common misconception that your facial hair will grow back darker or thicker after dermaplaning. Dermaplaning does not interfere with the follicular structure of the hair, thus having no effect on hair growth whatsoever. The hair will eventually grow back, but it won’t change colour or thickness.
-
Does the treatment hurt & is it safe?Dermaplaning is effective by performing a gentle scraping motion across the skin’s surface, which is entirely painless. This treatment is extremely safe when performed by a properly trained skincare professional.
-

-
How often can I have a dermaplaning treatment?Dermaplaning treatments can safely be performed every 2-4 weeks.
-
What is the benefit of adding a chemical peel with Dermaplaning?Hyperkeratosis is a build-up of dead skin cells on the skin’s surface. By removing this initial layer, a chemical peel is able to penetrate deeper into the dermis resulting in a more effective treatment. The conjunction of dermaplaning and a chemical peel leaves the skin refreshed and rejuvenated. Together they promote new skin growth and target problems such as aging, sun spots and environmental damage.
-
What to do after Dermaplaning?· Avoid direct sun exposure / extreme heat for 3 days · Avoid chlorine for 1 week · Do not use scrubs or other exfoliators for 5-7 days · Apply skincare prescribed by your therapist · Use sunscreen over SPF 30+

-
How it works?Our highly trained registered nurse begins the PRP treatment by taking the client’s blood and placing it in a specialised centrifuge device. From here, we extract the most nutrient rich properties (The plasma) many injectors call this liquid Gold! The plasma component is then placed just under the skin by superficial injections. By placing these natural healing substances back into the area of concern will stimulate repair and regenerate damaged skin for a healthier and more refreshed, glowing appearance.
-
Who is this treatment suitable for?Most people benefit from PRP treatment, although there are a few medical conditions that are contraindications to treatment. However before treatment begins a consultation is undertaken to discuss your medical and cosmetic history, this will help us to determine suitability for treatment.
-
When can results be seen?PRP will begin working under the skin immediately, making new cells to help improve the surface layers of skin. Visible results will be seen between six to 12 weeks post-treatment and continue for up to 6 months. The first thing people notice is an improvement in skin turgor and elasticity. Collagen production can take up to three months to occur and the results can differ depending on the individual.
-
How many PRP sessions does one need?Depending on the size of the area, along with the desired results, we recommend a series of 3 to 4 treatments with 6-8 weeks between treatments. And there after maintains every 6-12 months when you start to notice dull texture returning.
-
How long do results last?Depending on the area and condition treated, results can last from 18 months and a series of three or more treatments can yield results for up to two years. We also recommend following our pre and post treatment guidelines which will help with longevity of the treatment.
-
How long does the procedure take?The entire procedure takes about 45 minutes to one hour. And there is little to no down time post procedure.
-

This treatment is also not recommended for people taking anti-coagulation medication, people suffering from autoimmune conditions, as well as acute and chronic infections; or those who have suffered any type of cancer. Your past and present medical history, as well as your past cosmetic history will be assessed during your consultation to determine your suitability.
-
What is Sweat?Perspiration (or sweating) is the human body’s way to regulate temperature and to cool itself down. Sweat is mostly made up of salty water, and in normal circumstances provides an evaporative cooling effect. As the moisture evaporates and disappears, the sensation of coolness quickly follows. This process however is not so simple for all people, whilst most of our bodies may experience the occasional sweaty situation such as nervous palms, some adults can sweat up to 14 litres of perspiration in just one day.
-
What causes excessive sweating?What is causing your excessive sweating will depend on the category of hyperhidrosis. There are two categories: primary and secondary. Primary hyperhidrosis is the most common, and the cause is still unknown. Primary hyperhidrosis typically starts in childhood and there is usually a family history of the condition. Secondary hyperhidrosis is when the sweating is caused by an underlying medical condition and may affect the whole body. Possible causes include hyperthyroidism, menopause, medications or obesity. Although treatment and technique is the same, dosage is individualised. This will be discussed with you during your consultation.
-
Who is hyperhidrosis best for?Hyperhidrosis affects both males and females. The most common area affected by primary Hyperhidrosis is the underarms. This treatment is best suited to those suffering from excessive sweating.
-
How often will I require treatment?Usually every 6-12 months depending on individual patient concerns and treatment.
-
How long does it take for the treatment to start working?It will generally take between 2-3 days for the injected anti-wrinkle treatment to settle into the target region. Therefore it is important during this time to refrain from massaging, rubbing or applying heavy pressure to the treatment areas. It is also best to abstain from exercise for 48 hours post treatment
-
How long do results last?Hyperhidrosis is not a permanent solution; however, patients report anywhere from 6 to 12 months relief.
-
If I get my underarms treated, will I create more sweat in other areas?No, Despite common belief, sweat is not transferred to another gland, creating further problems. Hyperhidrosis Injections regulate the over-production of sweat and it will not stimulate production in other areas.
-
What does the treatment involve?The nurse will first identify where the sweat glands are most active. This is done by applying iodine solution to the treatment area, then dusting with powder. The area turns blue/black where there is sweat. The area is marked with a surgical pen, then cleaned prior to injection. Injections are spaced approximately 2cm apart to treat the area. The needles are tiny, the injections are not deep and most patients report tolerable discomfort rather than pain.
-
Treatment preparationPlease shave underarms and avoid using over the counter antiperspirants or deodorants 24 hours before. It is advisable to avoid aspirin and non-steroidal medication, vitamin E and St. John’s Wort for at least 24 hours prior to treatment as these may increase the risk of bleeding and bruising. If you have been prescribed aspirin for a medical reason, it is best to continue this. If you have a bleeding disorder, or are taking Warfarin, discuss this with the nurse prior to receiving treatment.
-
Do I need to see a GP before treatment?It is advised to have a consultation with your GP before hyperhidrosis treatment. This is to exclude any underlying medical condition which requires treatment. Your GP will check for potential causes of secondary hyperhidrosis to avoid symptomatic treatment of hyperhidrosis without the diagnosis or treatment of the underlying disease.
-
What is the skin needling procedure like?The procedure is well tolerated.

-
How do I prepare for the treatment?For optimal results we recommend performing a FESS® nasal & sinus wash gentle strength 1 hour prior to your treatment appointment.

-
Will my hair grow back thicker afterwards?No. It is a common misconception that your facial hair will grow back darker or thicker after dermaplaning. Dermaplaning does not interfere with the follicular structure of the hair, thus having no effect on hair growth whatsoever. The hair will eventually grow back, but it won’t change colour or thickness.
-

-
How often can I have a dermaplaning treatment?Dermaplaning treatments can safely be performed every 2-4 weeks.
-
What is the benefit of adding a chemical peel with Dermaplaning?Hyperkeratosis is a build-up of dead skin cells on the skin’s surface. By removing this initial layer, a chemical peel is able to penetrate deeper into the dermis resulting in a more effective treatment. The conjunction of dermaplaning and a chemical peel leaves the skin refreshed and rejuvenated. Together they promote new skin growth and target problems such as aging, sun spots and environmental damage.
-
What to do after Dermaplaning?· Avoid direct sun exposure / extreme heat for 3 days · Avoid chlorine for 1 week · Do not use scrubs or other exfoliators for 5-7 days · Apply skincare prescribed by your therapist · Use sunscreen over SPF 30+

What is Sweat?Perspiration (or sweating) is the human body’s way to regulate temperature and to cool itself down. Sweat is mostly made up of salty water, and in normal circumstances provides an evaporative cooling effect. As the moisture evaporates and disappears, the sensation of coolness quickly follows. This process however is not so simple for all people, whilst most of our bodies may experience the occasional sweaty situation such as nervous palms, some adults can sweat up to 14 litres of perspiration in just one day.
-
What causes excessive sweating?What is causing your excessive sweating will depend on the category of hyperhidrosis. There are two categories: primary and secondary. Primary hyperhidrosis is the most common, and the cause is still unknown. Primary hyperhidrosis typically starts in childhood and there is usually a family history of the condition. Secondary hyperhidrosis is when the sweating is caused by an underlying medical condition and may affect the whole body. Possible causes include hyperthyroidism, menopause, medications or obesity. Although treatment and technique is the same, dosage is individualised. This will be discussed with you during your consultation.

-
How long do results last?Hyperhidrosis is not a permanent solution; however, patients report anywhere from 6 to 12 months relief.
-
If I get my underarms treated, will I create more sweat in other areas?No, Despite common belief, sweat is not transferred to another gland, creating further problems. Hyperhidrosis Injections regulate the over-production of sweat and it will not stimulate production in other areas.
-
What does the treatment involve?The nurse will first identify where the sweat glands are most active. This is done by applying iodine solution to the treatment area, then dusting with powder. The area turns blue/black where there is sweat. The area is marked with a surgical pen, then cleaned prior to injection. Injections are spaced approximately 2cm apart to treat the area. The needles are tiny, the injections are not deep and most patients report tolerable discomfort rather than pain.
-
Treatment preparationPlease shave underarms and avoid using over the counter antiperspirants or deodorants 24 hours before. It is advisable to avoid aspirin and non-steroidal medication, vitamin E and St. John’s Wort for at least 24 hours prior to treatment as these may increase the risk of bleeding and bruising. If you have been prescribed aspirin for a medical reason, it is best to continue this. If you have a bleeding disorder, or are taking Warfarin, discuss this with the nurse prior to receiving treatment.
-
Do I need to see a GP before treatment?It is advised to have a consultation with your GP before hyperhidrosis treatment. This is to exclude any underlying medical condition which requires treatment.

Will my hair grow back thicker afterwards?No. It is a common misconception that your facial hair will grow back darker or thicker after dermaplaning. Dermaplaning does not interfere with the follicular structure of the hair, thus having no effect on hair growth whatsoever. The hair will eventually grow back, but it won’t change colour or thickness.
-

What is the benefit of adding a chemical peel with Dermaplaning?Hyperkeratosis is a build-up of dead skin cells on the skin’s surface. By removing this initial layer, a chemical peel is able to penetrate deeper into the dermis resulting in a more effective treatment. The conjunction of dermaplaning and a chemical peel leaves the skin refreshed and rejuvenated. Together they promote new skin growth and target problems such as aging, sun spots and environmental damage.

Skin Needling / Collagen Induction Therapy
‘Your skin is now ready for a textural turnover!’
The change in seasons, sun exposure, environmental pollutants and certain lifestyle factors, combined with the body’s natural ageing process can contribute to the loss of your natural elastin, hyaluronic acid, and collagen production. This can lead to a decline in overall skin health and the appearance of your skin.
Skin Needling also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), is a non-invasive, non-surgical and safe procedure designed to improve overall skin health and appearance by resurfacing and reviving your skin’s natural rejuvenation process.
Aesthetic Skin Co. By Lilly uses The Skin Pen Precision for all Skin Needling procedures.
The Skin Pen is a medical grade, micro-needling device which can only be purchased by medical professionals.
The Skin Pen Micro Needling device creates over 3 million microchannels per treatment, which is unmatched compared to any other micro-needling device on the market.
The Skin Pen creates hundreds of temporary micro-sized controlled injuries in the outer layer of the skin. This initiates the natural wound healing response that our body reacts to after an injury, resulting in a stimulation and remodelling of new collagen and elastin formation. This process assists in the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, pigmentation, enlarged pores, texture and stretch marks.

What is Sweat?Perspiration (or sweating) is the human body’s way to regulate temperature and to cool itself down. Sweat is mostly made up of salty water, and in normal circumstances provides an evaporative cooling effect. As the moisture evaporates and disappears, the sensation of coolness quickly follows. This process however is not so simple for all people, whilst most of our bodies may experience the occasional sweaty situation such as nervous palms, some adults can sweat up to 14 litres of perspiration in just one day.
-
What causes excessive sweating?What is causing your excessive sweating will depend on the category of hyperhidrosis. There are two categories: primary and secondary. Primary hyperhidrosis is the most common, and the cause is still unknown. Primary hyperhidrosis typically starts in childhood and there is usually a family history of the condition. Secondary hyperhidrosis is when the sweating is caused by an underlying medical condition and may affect the whole body. Possible causes include hyperthyroidism, menopause, medications or obesity. Although treatment and technique is the same, dosage is individualised. This will be discussed with you during your consultation.

-
How long do results last?Hyperhidrosis is not a permanent solution; however, patients report anywhere from 6 to 12 months relief.
-
If I get my underarms treated, will I create more sweat in other areas?No, Despite common belief, sweat is not transferred to another gland, creating further problems. Hyperhidrosis Injections regulate the over-production of sweat and it will not stimulate production in other areas.
-
What does the treatment involve?The nurse will first identify where the sweat glands are most active. This is done by applying iodine solution to the treatment area, then dusting with powder. The area turns blue/black where there is sweat. The area is marked with a surgical pen, then cleaned prior to injection. Injections are spaced approximately 2cm apart to treat the area. The needles are tiny, the injections are not deep and most patients report tolerable discomfort rather than pain.
-
Treatment preparationPlease shave underarms and avoid using over the counter antiperspirants or deodorants 24 hours before. It is advisable to avoid aspirin and non-steroidal medication, vitamin E and St. John’s Wort for at least 24 hours prior to treatment as these may increase the risk of bleeding and bruising. If you have been prescribed aspirin for a medical reason, it is best to continue this. If you have a bleeding disorder, or are taking Warfarin, discuss this with the nurse prior to receiving treatment.
-
Do I need to see a GP before treatment?It is advised to have a consultation with your GP before hyperhidrosis treatment. This is to exclude any underlying medical condition which requires treatment.

Will my hair grow back thicker afterwards?No. It is a common misconception that your facial hair will grow back darker or thicker after dermaplaning. Dermaplaning does not interfere with the follicular structure of the hair, thus having no effect on hair growth whatsoever. The hair will eventually grow back, but it won’t change colour or thickness.
-
Does the treatment hurt & is it safe?Dermaplaning is effective by performing a gentle scraping motion across the skin’s surface, which is entirely painless. This treatment is extremely safe when performed by a properly trained skincare professional.

-
How often can I have a dermaplaning treatment?Dermaplaning treatments can safely be performed every 2-4 weeks.
-
What is the benefit of adding a chemical peel with Dermaplaning?Hyperkeratosis is a build-up of dead skin cells on the skin’s surface. By removing this initial layer, a chemical peel is able to penetrate deeper into the dermis resulting in a more effective treatment. The conjunction of dermaplaning and a chemical peel leaves the skin refreshed and rejuvenated. Together they promote new skin growth and target problems such as aging, sun spots and environmental damage.
-
What to do after Dermaplaning?· Avoid direct sun exposure / extreme heat for 3 days · Avoid chlorine for 1 week · Do not use scrubs or other exfoliators for 5-7 days · Apply skincare prescribed by your therapist · Use sunscreen over SPF 30+

What is Sweat?Perspiration (or sweating) is the human body’s way to regulate temperature and to cool itself down. Sweat is mostly made up of salty water, and in normal circumstances provides an evaporative cooling effect. As the moisture evaporates and disappears, the sensation of coolness quickly follows. This process however is not so simple for all people, whilst most of our bodies may experience the occasional sweaty situation such as nervous palms, some adults can sweat up to 14 litres of perspiration in just one day.
-
What causes excessive sweating?What is causing your excessive sweating will depend on the category of hyperhidrosis. There are two categories: primary and secondary. Primary hyperhidrosis is the most common, and the cause is still unknown. Primary hyperhidrosis typically starts in childhood and there is usually a family history of the condition. Secondary hyperhidrosis is when the sweating is caused by an underlying medical condition and may affect the whole body. Possible causes include hyperthyroidism, menopause, medications or obesity. Although treatment and technique is the same, dosage is individualised. This will be discussed with you during your consultation.

-
How long do results last?Hyperhidrosis is not a permanent solution; however, patients report anywhere from 6 to 12 months relief.
-
If I get my underarms treated, will I create more sweat in other areas?No, Despite common belief, sweat is not transferred to another gland, creating further problems. Hyperhidrosis Injections regulate the over-production of sweat and it will not stimulate production in other areas.
-
What does the treatment involve?The nurse will first identify where the sweat glands are most active. This is done by applying iodine solution to the treatment area, then dusting with powder. The area turns blue/black where there is sweat. The area is marked with a surgical pen, then cleaned prior to injection. Injections are spaced approximately 2cm apart to treat the area. The needles are tiny, the injections are not deep and most patients report tolerable discomfort rather than pain.
-
Treatment preparationPlease shave underarms and avoid using over the counter antiperspirants or deodorants 24 hours before. It is advisable to avoid aspirin and non-steroidal medication, vitamin E and St. John’s Wort for at least 24 hours prior to treatment as these may increase the risk of bleeding and bruising. If you have been prescribed aspirin for a medical reason, it is best to continue this. If you have a bleeding disorder, or are taking Warfarin, discuss this with the nurse prior to receiving treatment.
-
Do I need to see a GP before treatment?It is advised to have a consultation with your GP before hyperhidrosis treatment. This is to exclude any underlying medical condition which requires treatment. Your GP will check for potential causes of secondary hyperhidrosis to avoid symptomatic treatment of hyperhidrosis without the diagnosis or treatment of the underlying disease.

Will my hair grow back thicker afterwards?No. It is a common misconception that your facial hair will grow back darker or thicker after dermaplaning. Dermaplaning does not interfere with the follicular structure of the hair, thus having no effect on hair growth whatsoever. The hair will eventually grow back, but it won’t change colour or thickness.
-
Does the treatment hurt & is it safe?Dermaplaning is effective by performing a gentle scraping motion across the skin’s surface, which is entirely painless. This treatment is extremely safe when performed by a properly trained skincare professional.
-
What are the benefits of Dermaplaning treatments?Removal of build-up of dead skin cells that cause your skin to look dry, dull & textured Improved penetration of cosmeceutical skincare A great alternative for those too sensitive for peels or hydrodermabrasion Assists in a smoother makeup application Rejuvenates the skin for a fresher look & instant glow Helps to fade away acne scars Minimises the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles Non-invasive, painless with no downtime Can be performed every 4 weeks Can be combined with other treatments such as skin peels
-
How often can I have a dermaplaning treatment?Dermaplaning treatments can safely be performed every 2-4 weeks.
-
What is the benefit of adding a chemical peel with Dermaplaning?Hyperkeratosis is a build-up of dead skin cells on the skin’s surface. By removing this initial layer, a chemical peel is able to penetrate deeper into the dermis resulting in a more effective treatment. The conjunction of dermaplaning and a chemical peel leaves the skin refreshed and rejuvenated. Together they promote new skin growth and target problems such as aging, sun spots and environmental damage.
-
What to do after Dermaplaning?· Avoid direct sun exposure / extreme heat for 3 days · Avoid chlorine for 1 week · Do not use scrubs or other exfoliators for 5-7 days · Apply skincare prescribed by your therapist · Use sunscreen over SPF 30+
-

-
What is Sweat?Perspiration (or sweating) is the human body’s way to regulate temperature and to cool itself down. Sweat is mostly made up of salty water, and in normal circumstances provides an evaporative cooling effect. As the moisture evaporates and disappears, the sensation of coolness quickly follows. This process however is not so simple for all people, whilst most of our bodies may experience the occasional sweaty situation such as nervous palms, some adults can sweat up to 14 litres of perspiration in just one day.
-
What causes excessive sweating?What is causing your excessive sweating will depend on the category of hyperhidrosis. There are two categories: primary and secondary. Primary hyperhidrosis is the most common, and the cause is still unknown. Primary hyperhidrosis typically starts in childhood and there is usually a family history of the condition. Secondary hyperhidrosis is when the sweating is caused by an underlying medical condition and may affect the whole body. Possible causes include hyperthyroidism, menopause, medications or obesity. Although treatment and technique is the same, dosage is individualised. This will be discussed with you during your consultation.
-
Who is hyperhidrosis best for?Hyperhidrosis affects both males and females. The most common area affected by primary Hyperhidrosis is the underarms. This treatment is best suited to those suffering from excessive sweating.

-
How long does it take for the treatment to start working?It will generally take between 2-3 days for the injected anti-wrinkle treatment to settle into the target region.

-
How long do results last?Hyperhidrosis is not a permanent solution; however, patients report anywhere from 6 to 12 months relief.
-
If I get my underarms treated, will I create more sweat in other areas?No, Despite common belief, sweat is not transferred to another gland, creating further problems. Hyperhidrosis Injections regulate the over-production of sweat and it will not stimulate production in other areas.
-
What does the treatment involve?The nurse will first identify where the sweat glands are most active. This is done by applying iodine solution to the treatment area, then dusting with powder. The area turns blue/black where there is sweat. The area is marked with a surgical pen, then cleaned prior to injection. Injections are spaced approximately 2cm apart to treat the area. The needles are tiny, the injections are not deep and most patients report tolerable discomfort rather than pain.
-
Treatment preparationPlease shave underarms and avoid using over the counter antiperspirants or deodorants 24 hours before. It is advisable to avoid aspirin and non-steroidal medication, vitamin E and St. John’s Wort for at least 24 hours prior to treatment as these may increase the risk of bleeding and bruising. If you have been prescribed aspirin for a medical reason, it is best to continue this. If you have a bleeding disorder, or are taking Warfarin, discuss this with the nurse prior to receiving treatment.
-
Do I need to see a GP before treatment?It is advised to have a consultation with your GP before hyperhidrosis treatment. This is to exclude any underlying medical condition which requires treatment. Your GP will check for potential causes of secondary hyperhidrosis to avoid symptomatic treatment of hyperhidrosis without the diagnosis or treatment of the underlying disease.
-
What is the skin needling procedure like?The procedure is well tolerated.

What are the symptoms of hay fever?The most common symptoms of hay fever sufferers are nasal symptoms such as congestion, runny nose or blocked nose, sneezing, nasal itching, sinus pain or discomfort and loss of smell. Eye itching, eye redness, eye watering, headaches and even daytime lethargy are common symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
-
What are the benefits?Most hay fever sufferers will take hay fever medication daily, especially during the spring and summer months when airborne grass pollens are most prevalent.

This treatment suits patients who want a longer-term solution to their hay fever symptoms. Some patients may opt to have this type of treatment to avoid side effects they may be experiencing from oral medication and nasal sprays.
-
How do I prepare for the treatment?For optimal results we recommend performing a FESS® nasal & sinus wash gentle strength 1 hour prior to your treatment appointment. These can be purchased from most pharmacies. Performing the nasal rinse prior to treatment allows the medication to have better contact with the nasal passage, and in turn, allows more of the product to reach and target the nerves that trigger your hay fever symptoms. Do not use any nasal sprays for 24hours prior to the procedure.
-
What is the treatment process like and is it painful?The process is very quick and without any discomfort. The product is sprayed into each nostril using an atomiser designed specifically for the nasal passage. No needles or injections required.

-
Are there any side effects?The treatment is very safe and effective. No side effects have been reported after this treatment.
-
How many treatments will I need?Often patients opt to have one treatment at the commencement of hay fever season. Some patients will have a repeat treatment after 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the severity of the hay fever season and their symptoms.

Will my hair grow back thicker afterwards?No. It is a common misconception that your facial hair will grow back darker or thicker after dermaplaning. Dermaplaning does not interfere with the follicular structure of the hair, thus having no effect on hair growth whatsoever. The hair will eventually grow back, but it won’t change colour or thickness.
-
Does the treatment hurt & is it safe?Dermaplaning is effective by performing a gentle scraping motion across the skin’s surface, which is entirely painless. This treatment is extremely safe when performed by a properly trained skincare professional.
-
What are the benefits of Dermaplaning treatments?Removal of build-up of dead skin cells that cause your skin to look dry, dull & textured Improved penetration of cosmeceutical skincare A great alternative for those too sensitive for peels or hydrodermabrasion Assists in a smoother makeup application Rejuvenates the skin for a fresher look & instant glow Helps to fade away acne scars Minimises the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles Non-invasive, painless with no downtime Can be performed every 4 weeks Can be combined with other treatments such as skin peels
-
How often can I have a dermaplaning treatment?Dermaplaning treatments can safely be performed every 2-4 weeks.
-
What is the benefit of adding a chemical peel with Dermaplaning?Hyperkeratosis is a build-up of dead skin cells on the skin’s surface. By removing this initial layer, a chemical peel is able to penetrate deeper into the dermis resulting in a more effective treatment. The conjunction of dermaplaning and a chemical peel leaves the skin refreshed and rejuvenated. Together they promote new skin growth and target problems such as aging, sun spots and environmental damage.
-
What to do after Dermaplaning?· Avoid direct sun exposure / extreme heat for 3 days · Avoid chlorine for 1 week · Do not use scrubs or other exfoliators for 5-7 days · Apply skincare prescribed by your therapist · Use sunscreen over SPF 30+
