What are the benefits of this treatment?
It provides younger, healthy, radiant-looking skin. It softens fine lines and wrinkles and helps smooth out skin texture. It can help to build collagen, which gives skin its youthful appearance. The treatments also make it easier for skin care products to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin.
The emergence of newer cells results in a more youthful-looking and brighter complexion that greatly improves the following skin issues.
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Pigmentation
- Acne Scarring
- Enlarged pores and dull skin
- Congested skin
- Stretch marks
- Dehydrated skin

What is an LED facial?
An LED facial involves the use of a remarkable LED mask that emits varying wavelengths of LED light to target specific concerns. Based on the modality used, the mask is capable of:
- Increasing collagen synthesis
- Improving blood circulation
- Treating acne
- Minimising redness
- Deep cleansing
- Toning the skin
The skin is thoroughly cleansed and toned and any blackheads are extracted then the LED light is applied. The colour selected depends on your skin type and problem
What is a dermaplanning facial?
Dermaplanning is a physical skin rejuvenation treatment that removes dead skin and vellus facial hair (peach fuzz), producing more radiant, smooth skin. A sterile blade is used along the surface of the skin to “shave” off unwanted cells and hair.
This is followed by the application of a superficial skin peel and then the service is then finished up with intensive moisturizing serums to promote hydration and an SPF cream.
Dermaplanning takes precision and must be performed by an experienced professional
It is important to shield your skin from the sun after the treatment. Wear a gentle sunscreen, even if it’s cloudy outside, during all four seasons. Apply sunscreen until at least 48 hours after the treatment and avoid swimming pools and heavy exercising for a few days.
Treatments are generally recommended approximately every four weeks to accommodate the normal skin-growth cycle.
