MICRONEEDLING (Collagen Induction Therapy)
Is an effective non-surgical anti ageing innovation for the treatment of the appearance of fine lines, acne scars and the improvement of the skin's texture, tone and colour. During this procedure, the microneedling pen is used to create micro-injuries to the skin in order to aid in the production of collagen and elastin. The skin’s repair process results in a thicker epidermis with a softer appearance of wrinkles. This procedure also creates micro-channels that allow topical gels, creams and serums to be absorbed more effectively, enhancing the effects in deeper layers of the skin. The results are smoother, firmer, younger looking skin.

Platelet Rich Plasma PRP/ Skin rejuvenation treatment
A PRP facial rejuvenation, also known as a vampire facial, is an advanced skincare treatment method that harnesses your body’s own natural power to heal itself. It is often called a vampire facial because during the procedure a small sample of your blood is drawn, which is then spun in a centrifuge for approximately 5 minutes to separate the plasma from the other blood particles. This platelet-rich plasma referred to as (liquid gold) is then reinjected back into the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin properties leaving a glowing, rejuvenated, and more youthful-looking complexion. It is the non surgical treatment of choice for many clients that suffer from sun damaged skin, wrinkles and scars and dark under-eye circles.
