COLLAGEN INDUCTION
SKINPEN® MICRONEEDLING
Skinpen for its proven safety and results. It is the first FDA-approved microneedling device and a CE marked medical device, trusted by leading dermatologists, aestheticians, and other skincare professionals.
By stimulating a natural healing response from the skin, this induces new collagen and elastin production.
Indicated for fine lines and wrinkles, texture and pigmentation concerns, enlarged pores, scarring and stretch marks, this device produces results in as little as one treatment.
WHAT IS SKINPEN® MICRONEEDLING?
Medical microneeding is a form of collagen-induction therapy.
Many skin concerns, including texture, scarring and the signs of ageing are often compounded by a lack of collagen. Collagen is an essential component in healthy skin and the body's ability to produce it reduces over time.
There are various ways to boost collagen within the skin, however medical microneedling with SkinPen® is a clinically proven method of collagen induction therapy, that involves the use of the handheld device containing 14 fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural wound healing processes, leading to increased production of collagen and elastin, which are proteins responsible for maintaining the skin's structure and elasticity.
Not only does the treatment stimulate collagen production, it also enhances the absorption of topical skincare products, as the micro-channels created by the needles allow for better penetration of active ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin.
Microneedling is not limited to the face - it an be performed on the neck, décolletage, and other parts of the body to improve various skin concerns, as well as a solution to thinning hair.

PLATELET-RICH GF
A 'Vampire Facial', Platelet-Rich GF is a natural way to optimise results.
These platelets are obtained from a blood sample, and contain various growth factors including PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, EGF, FGF, IGF, CTGF and HGF, responsible for the regulation of various cellular processes including cell growth, as well as the formation of blood vessels.
GROWTH FACTOR SOLUTION
The power of growth factors – packed into an easy, convenient treatment vial.
Designed to mimic our body’s natural biosignals, the Growth Factor Solution contains various growth factors and cytosignals which further your results and reduce downtime. It also contains synthesised human TGF-B3 to reduce redness and promote recovery and a high grade hyaluronic acid that promotes rapid re-hydration and volume enhancement within the upper layers of the skin.
BRIGHTENING GROWTH FACTOR SOLUTION
The power of growth factors – packed into an easy, convenient treatment vial.
Designed to mimic our body’s natural bio-signals, the Brightening Growth Factor Solution contains all the benefits of the Growth Factor Solution, with added Tranexamic Acid. Tranexamic Acid acts as a tyrosinase inhibitor, which stops the activity of melanocytes responsible for pigmentation.
PRX-T33 DERMAL REJUVENATION
Termed the 'No-Peel Peel', PRX-T33 is a dermal rejuvenation treatment that combines TCA, Kojic Acid and Hydrogen Peroxide for a glass finish facial.
Best for: Sun-Damaged Skin, Pigmentation, Blemish-prone and ageing skin types.
EXOSOMES
Exosomes are a exciting rejuvenating innovation, which is taking the aesthetic medicine industry by storm.
Containing 10 billion exosome nanospheres of revitalising proteins, exosomes are naturally occuring vesicles, released by stem cells within the body. Responsible for cell communication and protein exchange, exosomes are now widely used in non-surgical and surgical procedures to improve cells and tissue.
Exosomes stimulate angiogenesis - the formation of new blood vessels, resulting in an enhanced blood supply in which growth factors are released. More growth factors - enhanced repair. They also have an anti-inflammatory action, encouraging an optimal environment for healthy skin cells to thrive.
DERMALUX LED PHOTOTHERAPY
Complimentary with each hair rejuvenation treatment, red light LED therapy is a noninvasive, pain-free treatment that uses low-intensity light to stimulate various cells that are key in skin rejuvenation including fibroblasts; the cells that produce collagen and elastin
Our tri-wave Dermalux LED device can also utilise blue wavelengths to effectively kill bacteria as well as near-infrared wavelengths to reduce inflammation.

SkinPen® Precision Microneedling
Prior to procedure, we have a full consultation to discuss your skin concerns and treatment goals.
Your skin will be cleansed and topical anaesthetic applied to minimise discomfort during treatment. The SkinPen device is glided across the prepared treatment areas, adjusting the depth throughout the treatment according to indication. Immediately after the treatment, skin will feel taut and may be red.
The microneedling process is quick however please allow 1 hour for your appointment. You will be given post treatment directions, explained during the consultation.
The procedure is not painless, however the level of discomfort is minimised as numbing cream is applied prior. The level of discomfort also differs depending on the needle depth used, which varies depending on the indication of treatment.
SkinPen Microneedling can treat a range of conditions, with some of the most common including:
Mild to moderate acne scarring
Fine lines and wrinkles
Pigmentation concerns
Uneven skin texture
Enlarged pores
Dullness
Surgical scars
Stretch marks
The first two days post-treatment, the skin may feel taut and red. The skin may feel tender for a few days and you may notice mild swelling, particularly around the eyes.
Make up products should be avoided for the first 48 hours. Thereafter, dryness and flaking may occur.
Downtime does not typically last longer than 5-7 days.
Results can be seen after the first treatment! Depending on the skin concern, a treatment course may be advised.
Your skin will appear more radiant within two weeks of treatment, however collagen induction is a process that continues over time, with the best results seen up to six months after completion of course of treatment.
This treatment is suitable for all skin types and tones.
You cannot have this treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
It is very important that you avoid using retinoids (vitamin A) for 3-5 days prior to your treatment. If you have sensitive skin, we recommend stopping these products 7 days pre-treatment. It is also important to avoid intense sun exposure for 2 weeks pre-treatment, as well as any other skin, beauty or aesthetic treatments in the two weeks before prior.
Depending on the indication for treatment, a course of 4-6 treatments may be recommended, every 4-6 weeks.
