Laser Hair Removal
Our laser hair removal utilises medical-grade technology for permanent hair reduction across all skin types. The treatment targets hair follicles with precision, minimising regrowth while maintaining skin integrity. Clients typically achieve optimal results after six to eight sessions, with each appointment spaced four to six weeks apart. This service addresses unwanted hair on facial and body areas, offering long-term solutions for both men and women.
Wrinkle Injections
Botulinum toxin injections temporarily relax facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. Administered by qualified medical professionals, this treatment effectively reduces crow's feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. Results become visible within three to seven days, with effects lasting up to four months. The procedure takes 15-20 minutes, requiring no downtime for patients.
Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers restore lost volume and smooth deep facial lines. This injectable treatment addresses nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and lip contours with natural-looking results. The effects are immediate and last between six to eighteen months depending on the product used. All procedures follow strict safety protocols to ensure optimal aesthetic outcomes.
Obagi Treatments
The Obagi Nu-Derm system combines prescription-strength tretinoin with vitamin C to improve skin texture and tone. This medical-grade regimen addresses hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, and early signs of photoageing. Clinical photography documents visible improvements within six weeks of consistent use, with full results apparent after three months of treatment.
ZO Skin Care
ZO Skin Health formulations deliver advanced solutions for sun-damaged and ageing skin. These prescription-only products contain retinoids, antioxidants, and exfoliating agents to promote cellular renewal. The system includes daily care regimens and intensive treatment protocols, all developed under the guidance of dermatological expert Dr Zein Obagi.
