Just a few pricks and your skin will be smooth, even, and glowing — it's seriously magical.
We promise it's not as scary as it sounds! This minimally invasive treatment creates invisible “micro-injuries” in the surface of the skin, triggering collagen and elastin production, working hard on texture, minimising scarring and pigmented spots, reducing wrinkles, lifting contours in a natural and progressive way, and encouraging a healthy glow. Get ready for a transformation in skin smoothness, tone and luminosity.
The truth is that microneedling isn't as popular as newer,trendier, or more exciting procedures, but it works.We cool the skin and accelerate healing with 10 mins under the cold laser (equivalent to 45 mins under LED).
We'll call you before your appointment to book you in, discuss your skin, and conduct a short consultation. Let us know when you are free for treatments and when we can schedule a time to talk with you. Thank you.
A cold laser works with directed photon absorption and not photo thermal damage
➢Cold laser will not burn or remove colour from or damage skin tissue, nor create heat on the skin.
➢No risk of pain, scarring, pigmentary changes or infection.
➢Cells are energised to promote a healing response.
Using SkinPen precision technology allows us to reach a more intense and more comfortable level of treatment than is possible with a traditional manual derma roller. Best of all, SkinPen doesn't rely on heat so the results are natural and safe for all skin tones and types.
More energy in your cells means more cellular repair and regeneration, and an improved ability to fight decline, damage and disease or poor lifestyle choices.
LED light is non-coherent so it scatters over skin and some light is therefore lost into the atmosphere before reaching the skin, so this dilutes the intensity and limits the depth of penetration. You don’t get this dilution with laser beams.
Medical LEDs also cannot deliver actives deep into the skin. The shine from skincare will cause a reflection, meaning the wavelengths of the light won’t penetrate as deeply and will bounce off skin.
The Byonik laser is able to achieve deep levels of photon absorption due to coherent beam delivery and able to drive products and hyaluronic and skin nutrition into the skin, giving a filler effect and improving cell health.
Lasers are the most powerful light therapy used for more targeted skin-care concerns, as well as those that are more stubborn or advanced. Laser photo beams directly into the skin and works directly within the cells at all levels of the skin.
The BYONIK is a cold laser Red and NIR and so it’s the only machine that can detoxify collagen and elastic fibres (stiff glycated wrinkle and sagging forming fibres). It promotes lymph drainage and decongests and also energises skin so effectively. Other lasers are thermal and can cause fat loss and pigmentation issues. Skin cells that are detoxified, energised and nourished function better and can renew up to 200% faster accelerating regeneration and repair.
The effect of the LED really depends on the amount of energy available for absorption at the surface of the skin. Home masks are unlikely to be worth the price tag. Unless you’re investing in a serious bit of kit like the Celluma Pro or Dermalux Flex MD, which is medically certified, and mostly used in clinic but also available for home use, you’re probably better off not bothering. This is because most portable LED devices that are designed for home use simply aren’t powerful enough to really deliver. That being said, there are a lot of people who love their at-home LED masks and say they see noticeable improvements in their skin while using it consistently. One such improvement we hear about a lot is the general ‘glow’ these masks give, but this just indicates that the energy coming off the mask’s bulbs has simply stirred up the blood supply in the skin. Compare that to how your skin looks after a session of professional-strength LED… because once this has worked its magic and reduced inflammation in the skin, your skin actually looks paler and calmer than when you walked in – this is exactly why LED is commonly layered with treatments like peels and microneedling which cause controlled trauma – to calm the skin down afterwards and remove redness. Home blue light is however effective. LED is cumulative so rather than once a month in clinic a home medical LED would be a good investment ie like going to the gym once a month or 3 times a week.
Unlike traditional chemical peels, the No Peel, Peel uses a combination of acids that regenerate skin without causing exfoliation of the skin (ie the dry, flaking, scabbing and peeling you might expect). As the name suggests it doesn't actually peel the skin - it does everything beneath the surface which means limited to no downtime.
We offer a numbing cream to minimise any discomfort during treatment. You won't feel any pain, however, you may feel a slight stinging sensation and some discomfort and vibrations from the microneedling pen.
Depending on the treatment you'll notice plump glowing treatments from day one up to two weeks. Results are cumulative, so a series of treatments will give you best results. Typically we recommend 4-6 sessions spaced 2-6 weeks apart.
After our Face Fitness and No filler Facial you”ll want to*. After microneedling and the No-peel peel your skin will be more sensitive than normal, but any redness and warmth should only last up to 72 hours. We also include cold laser with all treatments to minimise any post treatment inflammation so you might find your skin is calmer sooner. *Our energising laser stimulates healing and detoxification which in some cases can present as flushing - a signal that the treatment is working for you and not to be confused with inflammation.
We select skincare appropriate for the treatment and your skin condition to help you achieve the best possible version of your skin. We use a combination of core cleansing and moisturising and mask and targeted formulas from Esse, Gym For Your Skin, Byonik, Exo|e.
All appointment times include a 15 minutes consultation and time for you to change. eg. a 1hr appointment includes 45 minutes treatment time

Your appointment time is reserved just for you. Please let us know 48 hours in advance if there are any changes or should you not be able to attend. Thank you. Late cancellations mean costs and a hole in the dairy that could have been filled by another client. As such, if you provide less than 48 hours notice, or miss your appointment, we do charge for the full appointment.
For all series treatments we will book your first treatment in and thereafter we will book the next at your appointment. That way we can assess your skin and recommend the frequency interval knowing your skin. We have a limited number of appointments and don't want to be unable to fit you in at short notice.
