FACIAL TREATMENTS
Baseline Treatments
Baseline peels and microdermabrasion’s are great ways to start your skin journey to a healthier skin, that looks and feels great!
When treating skin concerns it is best to start with a course of three treatments, we recommend that your do your initial treatments close together to create a biological change in your skin. Once this has been achieved and you have reached your skin goals we then re assess and work out a maintenance plan for you in order for this change to be maintained long term.
Depending on your skin concerns and how long they have been present on the skin indicates what they are caused from and helps us to determine how many treatments you will need. Normally we are looking at 3 to 12 treatments, to target those concerns then follow with a maintenance plan. Please know that we want to help each and every one of you achieve your skin goals and together, by trusting one another, we can achieve this.
Regardless of what facial treatment we go with we believe in still making the experience as relaxing and calming as possible, providing clinical treatments within a calming space.
Once having completed a course of baseline facials we canlook at advancing your facials to ensure you always get consistent results. Our skin naturally becomes used to certain treatments and products over time, so it is important that we change things up, so we can keep seeing results
Dehydrated/Dry/Oily/Congested/Acne/Ageing/Redness/Sensitive
Signature facials are a great treatment for someone who is not so concerned about changing their skin. The process generally starts with cleansing, then exfoliating, followed by a facial massage and finishing with a mask. The products are tailored to each individuals skin type and if needed it will include extractions, steam or incorporate sonophoresis into the treatment.

LED light therapy is unlike anything you have known. This non-invasive treatment is ideal as an addition to any service or a stand-alone treatment as it has many benefits. We have the Photonsmart LED Machine with an extra inbuilt feature of infrared therapy technology, and we are the only stockist in Adelaide with this advanced machine.
Light therapy works different to other treatments, as it can penetrate into the lower layers of the skin and stimulate cells on a deeper level, without any disruption to the surface layer of skin.
For people who suffer dermatitis, allergies, sensitive skin, rosacea, psoriasis, this works wonderfully to heal from within as skin with these symptoms are very hard to treat because they are normally quite reactive to almost anything and everything. We need to be able to take a gentler yet effective approach to these skins, which is where LED has become a hero treatment in the world of skin. LED has different lights for different reasons:
Blue light – Antibacterial
- Can help with psoriasis, dermatitis, acne breakouts and soothes sebaceous glands.
Green light – Calming
- Helps to calm red or inflamed skin, rosacea, eczema, pigmentation and red capillaries.
Red light – Skin rejuvenation
- Help to stimulate collagen production, increase circulation, reduce fines lines and wrinkles.
Infrared – Infrared goes deeper into the skin, more than LED alone can. This makes for a deeper, more concentrated and beneficial treatment.
- Helps with wound healing, reducing the appearance of scars, hair growth, skin rejuvenation. It also increases the circulation and cell repair in the skin whilst, stimulating collagen production.
This is a superior treatment that targets the skin from deep within the layers. Completely regenerating your skin cells to produce a more youthful, plump, even and supple skin. Skin needling can be used to target concerns from fine lines, wrinkles, acne, rosacea, pigmentation, uneven skin, congestion and scarring. It works on the principle that by causing controlled trauma to the skin it promotes cell renewal and stimulates new skin cells. ‘Getting rid of the old and in with the new’ – getting rid of tired cells, build up and congestion allows room for new healthy cells to come through and this in turn creates a much healthier and stronger skin. As far as treatments go you can treat any spot on your body you are feeling self-conscious about. This is something we go through during a consultation, to ensure you are getting the most out of your treatments and also to show you it is not limited to just your face.
When treating acne and pigmentation we are working STRICTLY on the surface of your skin and only looking for a mild flushed response – no blood. When we are treating wrinkles, scarring and rosacea we are working deeper within your skin layers and are looking for minimal blood spotting to ensure we have reached the area of the skin we need to be in, in order for the treatment to be effectively targeting the right concern.
As a therapist with your best intention at heart, please understand that due to the risks associated with topical anaesthetic creams I have decided not to use them. Be assured this treatment is quick, any discomfort is only temporary so do not be deterred by this. Included in this treatment is a 20-minute LED light treatment and mask.
