SKIN TREATMENTS

ADVANCED SKIN REGENERATION

Life happens, we all age but you also might have sunbathed, worked, smoked, stressed or simply not looked after your skin as good as you could have. Certain environmental factors change our skin. No longer do we enjoy the baby fine smoothness of youth as sun damage, smog, pollution, cigarette smoke and other toxins make contact with our skin and it becomes discoloured, uneven, acne ridden and filled with broken capillaries. Even the simple act of ageing can cause open pores, spots and discolouration. One of the easiest and least invasive ways to really fix these issues is with photo rejuvenation.

MEDICAL-GRADE CHEMICAL PEELS

TCA stands for tri-chloroacetic acid and is one of the original skin rejuvenation peels. They are recommended for men and women of all ages wanting to improve moderate to severe sun damage and or signs of ageing.

Superficial TCA Peels are designed as mild to moderate peels. Their strength, and therefore peeling effects can be increased, by layering the applications. The peel depth is dependent on the patient’s skin type, skin condition and desired outcome, though you will see a noticeable improvement after each peel.

VAMPIRE FACE LIFT (PLATELET RICH PLASMA & DERMAPEN SKIN NEEDLING)

Blood is made of RBC (Red Blood Cells), WBC (White Blood Cells), Plasma, and Platelets. When in their resting state, platelets look like sea sponges and when activated form branches. Platelets were initially known to be responsible for blood clotting. In the last 20 years we have learned that when activated in the body, platelets release healing proteins called growth factors.

PRP is virtually a cocktail of many proteins that collectively stimulate repair and regeneration. However there are some proteins included in PRP that we can now selectively isolate to promote anti-inflammatory effects and pain reduction.
