Dermaplaning: Exfoliates dead skin cells and removes fine facial hair, enhancing product penetration and leaving the skin brighter and more radiant.

IPL can treat a variety of skin conditions, including sun damage, age spots, rosacea, fine lines, and unwanted hair. IPL can be used on the face, neck, chest, back, hands, and other areas.
Fraxel®: Fraxel® treatment resurfaces your skin by stimulating the growth of new, healthy skin cells from the inside out. It reduces fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin texture and tone, minimizes the appearance of acne scars and sun damage, and promotes collagen production.
Thermage® FLX: The Thermage® system is a non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) therapy that can help smooth, tighten and contour skin for an overall younger-looking appearance.

What is Fraxel Laser Treatment?

A noticeably younger look without surgery

Fraxel® treatment improves tone, texture and radiance for ageing, sun-damaged or scarred skin.

Fraxel® is for people who want to look younger without dramatic changes or extended downtime.

Fraxel® laser treatments target ageing and sun-damaged skin with microscopic laser columns that penetrate deep into your skin to expedite your body’s remodelling of collagen. And since the laser only treats a fraction of tissue at a time, it leaves the surrounding tissue intact, which promotes very rapid healing. Fraxel® treatment resurfaces your skin by stimulating the growth of new, healthy skin cells from the inside out.
