Frequently Asked Questions:
Which facial treatment is right for me?
Initially all you have to do is select a time that suits you. Our ProSkin30 is 30 minutes, ProSkin60 is 60 minutes (see what we did there!), or a FaceFits is just 10 minutes. Our facial treatments are bespoke, meaning they are tailored for you. After a thorough consultation discussing your concerns, your current routine, time and budget considerations, and the outcome you would like, our professional skin therapists create a Skin Fitness Plan for you including professional treatments, homecare and lifestyle advice to assist you on your best skin journey. In salon we utilise professional electrical modalities such as LED light therapy, microdermabrasion, and microcurrent, in conjunction with Dermalogica skincare, to ensure you receive the best outcomes possible.
What is Microdermabrasion?
Crystal microdermabrasion is the non-invasive, gentle process of using crystals accelerated at high velocity, like sandblasting, onto the skin’s surface to abrade and mechanically exfoliate dead and damaged layers of skin cells. This causes micro trauma on the skin’s surface and stimulates the flow of fresh oxygenated blood to the surface. This starts the collagen stimulation, healing and rejuvenating processes. A vacuum suction whisks away the abraded skin particles and crystals in addition to improving the lymphatic function in the skin. This helps to leave the skin looking and feeling smoother, brighter, firmer and blemish free. The result is a polished fresh, exfoliated skin with increased cellular function and renewal.
Microdermabrasion is not only an excellent maintenance treatment for normal skin, it is also a desirable option to treat acne and the signs of premature ageing. For acne sufferers, fortnightly to monthly treatments can put you back in control of your skin.
What is LED Light Therapy?
LED light therapy enhances your body’s natural cellular recovery, improving healing, relieving inflammation, subsiding active acne and promoting skin rejuvenation.
LED light therapy is a highly effective way to achieve total facial rejuvenation. LED light therapy delivers light emitting diodes (LED), which do not produce any heat. The device delivers LED in precise wavelengths over the skin to stimulate naturally occurring regeneration and repair processes.
This 20-minute painless and highly relaxing treatment is not only cost effective but gives amazing results when consistently used. Not to mention it is safe and suitable for most skin types.
LED light therapy treatments can be used on their own or in conjunction with other treatments, especially to aid in the rejuvenation process with no downtime.
Results occur gradually with an initial series of treatments recommended to achieve optimal results that last up to one month. Regular treatments will maintain results.
Prior to your first treatment, our professional skin therapist will consult with you to assess your suitability for LED light therapy and discuss any concerns or questions you may have.
The treatment may involve a gentle exfoliant being applied to your skin before the LED device is placed over the treatment area. The process is comfortable with many clients finding it relaxing and similar to lying on a beach.
What is Microcurrent?
Microcurrent facial toning devices send soft, gentle waves to the muscles in your face that help relax overly tightened muscles and strengthen under-worked muscles. In essence, microcurrent facial toning “re-educates” the facial muscles and works to restore them back to their original state. When this happens the face is lifted, firmed and toned to a more youthful appearance. At the same time, the microcurrent improves circulation to your face which stimulates production of collagen, improves tone and texture, and eliminates fine lines. The machine we use also aids in penetration of products into the skin.
Is the Pro Power Peel the right treatment for me?
Prior to a Pro Power Peel treatment we would recommend coming into salon for a ProSkin treatment. In this way we can do a thorough consultation and prescribe a Skin Fitness Plan combining professional treatments, which may include peels, with a homecare routine to assist you on your best skin journey.
