When we give you a dermaplaning treatment, we use a sterile blade to scrape away the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair - also known as peach fuzz - to reveal beautiful, vibrant skin underneath!

Botox is actually just a brand name for botulinum toxin type a. We also use other brands if requested.
Botox is a prescribed drug.
Botox is a protein, when injected blocks the signal from nerves to the muscles to stop muscle movement.
It has been used for decades in the medical world for a vast number of conditions.
It is important you go to a medical professional to have botox treatment as it is a potent medication and the injector must know their anatomy.
As with all needles; bruising, bleeding and minor pain.
There is a risk of hitting the wrong muscle and causing unwanted effects. This is why you need to come to us! Highly trained medical professionals wo know the muscles in your face to fine detail.

botox

It is a multi stage facial using difference acids based on your skin issues.
These acids clear out your pores and hair follicles of grime and loosen the top layer of dead skin cells, uncovering the brighter more vibrant skin underneath.
They are also a great way to treat:
- fine lines and wrinkles
- hyperpigmentation
- uneven skin texture
- acne
- scarring
Yes, when applied by a trained professional.
We keep a close eye on you during the process and can neutralise the peel at any time.
There are many stages to a peel, and we tailor the peel to your specific skin type, but the main ingredients are salicylic acid and lactic acid, both of which are safe for applying to the skin.
However, peels are to be avoided if you are pregnant or have an allergy to aspirin.
You will have an instant glow!
Then over the next 1-4 days, your skin will begin to flake away, revealing the soft new skin underneath.
A course of peels, and then maintenance, will ensure your skin stays glowy and radiant!
No - this is a non-invasive treatment, so no needles - hurrah!
It is possible to feel a slight sting on application, but this will only last for a couple of minutes.
The great news is you can go back to your day to day routine immediately afterwards.
However, you may notice your skin start to peel or break out for up to a week after as the cell turnover increases. For that reason, we always advise you to book a peel 2-3 weeks before any big event.
Yes, it's true!
It is a fantastic treatment for acne, not only does it clear out your skin but it also prevent the build u of sebum.
It can help to reduce acne scarring also.

chemical peels

Polynucleotides (full name polydeoxyribonucleotides) are a chain of DNA and RNA molecules, and are derived from fragments of fish DNA (yes, you read that right!)
Because they resemble human DNA, they have the ability to function as a biostimulator, kick-starting regeneration in the skin. Not only are they anti-inflammatory (thanks to their antioxidant properties), but they increase collagen production, resulting in a thicker, healthier epidermis - making your skin act like it did when you were younger!
Get polynucleotides to treat:
- scarring
- stretch marks
- crepey skin
- fine-lines and wrinkles
- under eye circles
- dull-looking skin
We apply numbing cream before treatment as it can be quite nippy!
Anywhere from 2 hours to one week.
It depends on the area you're having treated, your skin type and what strength of polynucleotides you opt for. We will discuss this with you at booking.
This is not an instant fix - the treatment is basically encouraging your own body to change and improve itself, which can take anywhere from 30-90 days.
We suggest a course of 3-4 sessions, administered 2-4 weeks apart, then a top up every 9 months after that.
