Services
Electrolysis
Electrolysis is the only medically approved method for permanent hair removal. Our technicians use sterile, disposable probes to target hair follicles with precision, ensuring safe and effective results. Clients benefit from tailored treatment plans addressing unwanted hair on the face, body, or sensitive areas. With over 35 years of expertise, we combine advanced techniques with a commitment to client comfort and hygiene.
IPL Skin Rejuvenation
IPL/VPL technology stimulates collagen production to address ageing, pigmentation, and vascular concerns. This non-invasive treatment improves skin texture, reduces redness, and minimises sun damage. Ideal for clients seeking a refreshed appearance, it targets conditions like rosacea and acne scarring. Sessions are customised to individual skin types, ensuring optimal results with minimal downtime.
CACI Non-surgical Facelift
The CACI system uses microcurrents to tone facial muscles, reducing wrinkles and lifting sagging skin. This award-winning treatment offers a natural alternative to surgery, with visible improvements after one session. A course of ten treatments enhances elasticity and firmness, addressing forehead lines, crows feet, and jowls. Its ideal for clients seeking a youthful, revitalised complexion without invasive procedures.
Advanced Electrolysis
Specialist electrolysis techniques safely remove benign skin blemishes like moles, warts, and thread veins. Treatments are performed with precision to avoid scarring, often requiring just one session. Our therapists are accredited by the MascED programme, ensuring expertise in skin cancer awareness and safe lesion removal. Clients report high satisfaction with results for conditions like sebaceous hyperplasia and xanthelasma.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion exfoliates dead skin cells, revealing smoother, brighter skin. Using a diamond wand and vacuum suction, it addresses fine lines, blackheads, and uneven tone. Regular sessions stimulate collagen production, improving texture and reducing acne scarring. A six-treatment course is recommended for lasting results, with maintenance sessions every four weeks to sustain skin health and radiance.
