Including monopolar, bipolar fractionated needle including for skin rejuvenation, acne scarring

• Cutaneous energy-based drug and cosmeceutical delivery
• Laser-assisted photodynamic therapy

Long pulsed and short pulsed options to address various vascular and rejuvenation issues

BroadBand Light technology for skin rejuvenation and vascular/pigment conditions.

Body contouring and muscle building with electromagnetic energy and radiofrequency.

Acne treatment using 1740nm laser to target sebaceous glands and reduce sebum production.

Skin resurfacing/rejuvenation and lesion removal.

Hydrodermabrasion system (cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate) for deep cleansing, improved texture, and hydration.

Pigmentation and tattoo removal; also used for melasma, freckles, sunspots, PIHP, and overall skin rejuvenation. 

Fractional RF microneedling for skin renewal.

SECRET RF combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and improve overall skin quality.

Advanced Vascular Laser Treatment.

The Vbeam perfecta uses pulsed dye laser technology to treat vascular and pigmented lesions with precision and minimal downtime.

Best for treating: pigmentation, sun damage, redness, skin rejuvenation.

IPL/BBL use the power of light to correct a variety of benign skin conditions such as hyperpigmentation, freckles, photo-ageing, fine wrinkles, flat birthmarks, facial skin imperfections, broken capillaries, small surface veins and other blemishes.

Best for treating: Sun-damaged pre-cancerous lesions called solar (or actinic) keratoses, sun spots, sun damage, fine lines, pigmentation and skin texture.

Photodynamic Therapy is a treatment performed using a topical photosensitising agent which is activated by a light source such as Aktilite or IPL/BBL (Intense Pulsed Light/broad band light).

Best for treating: sun damage, moderate to deep lines or wrinkles, ageing skin.

The Erbium laser emits light that is absorbed by water as the light hits the skin. The tissue that contains water is vaporised. As skin cells are mostly composed of water, the heat produced by the laser light is scattered over the skin. The object is to damage the skin to stimulate it just enough to promote healing.

Best for treating: Facial lines and wrinkles, rejuvenation, scarring.

Fractional-resurfacing technology uses the light of a laser to improve skin texture and remove pigmentation. Applied to a small fraction of skin at a given time, the energy of the laser system stimulates collagen in the skin and rejuvenates the skin cells below the skin’s surface.

Best for treating: Rosacea, facial veins, spider veins, naevi, age spots, scars& red stretch marks, port wine stains.

Pulse dyed lasers deliver an intense burst of light into select areas. The laser penetrates the skin to reach the targeted blood vessels, the energy is absorbed by oxyhaemaglobin to coagulate and clear vessels

Treatment varies depending on the condition being treated and your skins response to the treatment. For redness and telangiectasia it is typically 2-3 treatments. Conditions such as port wine stains often require more than 6 treatments.

Following treatment you may experience redness & swelling which can take a few days to subside Sometimes bruising occurs which may take a little longer to subside.

Medical grade chemical peels are an effective way of reducing the visible appearance of ageing, fine lines, acne and pigmentation, providing you with a clearer complexion. They are great for skin rejuvenation and for brightening up the appearance of your skin.

Chemical peels work by gently removing the outer layers of the skin, along with any blemishes that exist in those outer layers, such as skin pigmentation or fine lines. Different facial peels are available to achieve a wide range of results. Lighter peels provide modest improvements in skin texture, while deeper chemical peels deliver more substantial results.

Skin needling refers to the technique where by a micron needling pen (Dermapen) is used to create microscopic pinpoint “wounds” in the skin. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin which is then directed to the microscopic wound region. It is a safe and effective treatment and generally has very few side effects.

It helps in treating pigmentation and scarring

On average it takes about 2-4 days for the skin to go back to normal and a full week to see the results.
