Treatments and Services

Dermal fillers are made up of a synthetic form of a naturally occurring substance in the body, Hyaluronic Acid. There are different levels of thickness, ranging from a thin consistency commonly used for areas such as the lips and tear trough, to a medium thickness and a very thick form which is used for the cheek area.

An initial consultation will involve gathering some information about your health to assess your suitability for treatment. Assessment of the areas of concern and establishing a treatment plan to help improve these. You will be educated on the expected outcome and we will answer any questions you may have. The treatment generally involves the application of a topical anesthetic and cold compress to help reduce discomfort.

The product may be administered either through a fine needle or a cannula and takes approximately 30 minutes depending on the area. There will be an immediate result, however, the filler itself can take at least a couple of weeks to fully integrate into the tissues. Therefore, the best results are seen after two weeks.

Swelling and redness are expected immediately post procedure which will reside after a day or two. Bruising may occur and generally settles after 3-5 days. Mineral makeup can be used and most patients are able to resume their daily activities straight away. We do recommend a review appointment at 2 weeks.

Depending upon what sort of filler has been used, results can last from up to 1-2 years. This can vary depending upon the individual parents metabolic rate and area treated. Dermal Fillers are commonly used in conjunction with muscle relaxants. Other skin rejuvenation treatments can also be used in combination with these and for best results, use an active skincare range.

There are risks associated with the treatment, therefore we perform a comprehensive consultation prior to treatment and the treatment is under the guided instruction of an accredited doctor.

The Dermapen uses advanced oscillating vertical needling technology, which means that multiple needles penetrate the skin as it vibrates across the surface.

The efficacy of this technology means that there is less pain for the patient and less unnecessary skin trauma.
The treatment causes an inflammatory response which stimulates natural collagen reproduction.

It may be used in combination with topical nutrients to deliver them deeper into the skin.

The treatment involves gently cleansing the skin, passing the device over the skin and a gentle cooling afterwards.

The Dermapen looks as it sounds, it is a pen-like device which fits comfortably in the hand of your clinician. The device has multiple depth settings which will be adjusted according to the areas being treated.

It can be expected for there to be pinpoint bleeding on the areas treated.
Redness immediately post-treatment is expected which subsides.
There may be some flaking of the skin over the following 2-5 days.

Treatments may be performed every 4-6 weeks.
Dermapen can be used in conjunction with dermal fillers and muscle relaxant injections to more effectively reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It is also safe to use with Micro-dermabrasion, LED and chemical peels.

For best results, we can recommend an at home skin regime designed specifically for your skin type and concerns.

The gentle vacuum system combined with a diamond tip handpiece helps to increase the turnover of skin cells, making it a great treatment for anti-aging, pigmentation, acne, clogged pores, fine lines, and dull complexions.

The treatment takes approximately 45 minutes, is pain-free and safe to use in conjunction with other procedures.
This can be performed weekly and/or in combination with Chemical Peels.

For best results, we can recommend an at home skin regime designed specifically for your skin type and concerns.

The treatment takes only minutes and there is no downtime (depending on the type of chemical peel). It involves cleansing the skin, applying the chemical peel for the prescribed time and then removing it.

Your skin may feel a slight tingle when the peel is applied and feel very fresh and clean afterwards. Chemical peels can be performed once a week for 6-8 weeks per treatment course.

It is important to combine Chemical Peels with a prescribed home skin regime and always ensure your skin is protected from the sun. We like to keep things simple so will develop the best plan to work for you. Chemical Peels can be used in combination with micro-dermabrasion and micro-needling treatments to increase the results.

Hair Removal – A course of IPL treatments can significantly reduce hair growth. The ideal candidate to obtain the best results would have darker, course hair and a fair complexion.

During the treatment, the hand piece is held against the skin and the pulses of light are delivered at a setting that targets melanin. The bulb of the hair follicle is where the most melanin is located, so this is where the light is absorbed. The bulb and hair shaft are heated to a point which destroys the hair-producing papilla.

Generally, clients will require 6-8 treatments and these treatments are conducted 4-6 weeks apart. The treatments will not totally eliminate all hair in the area treated.

It is best performed on freshly shaven skin which is free from sunburn, rash or other inflammation.
This treatment is only suitable for people with light to medium skin tones and works best on dark hair.

During your consultation, we will obtain your general health history to determine whether you are suitable for treatment.

Photo-rejuvenation and Pigmentation – IPL can be used to treat skin pigmentation, sun damage and thread (or “spider”) veins.

When set to a specific wavelength, the pulsed light will target the pigmented, effectively breaking it down over a series of sessions.
The inflammatory response created increases the production of collagen, creating skin tightening and improving elasticity.

The IPL can be combined with other cosmetic treatments and we can discuss your options and develop your treatment plan during your consultation.

CoolTech works by freezing the fat cells, causing a controlled cell death.

The technology of CoolTech allows the areas being treated to be cooled to -8 degrees Celsius. The client will feel an initial suction sensation and then a slight cool feeling, but the treatment itself should not cause discomfort.

Depending on the area, the treatment may take up to 70 minutes. Once the hand-piece is removed, the area is massaged.

We recommend 2 treatments approximately 12 weeks apart. The effect of the treatment will work gradually over these weeks.
It is possible to treat 4 areas in one session and return for other areas at a later date.

Whist having the CoolTech treatment, why not treat yourself to a Microdermabrasion to freshen up your face, neck and décolletage? Or reap the rewards of a Dermapen treatment. Both are totally safe to do at the same time.

For best results, maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating well, exercising and drinking plenty of water.

The treatment is performed by taking a sample of your blood, placing it in a centrifuge which spins the blood at a high rate, separating the blood cells from the plasma and platelets. These are then re-injected into the skin to stimulate collagen production and generate more skin cells.

All treatments involve some degree of risk, however, the wonderful thing with PRP is that we are using your own platelets, so this eliminates the risk of allergic reaction.

Treatment areas are decided through consultation. General areas include the face, neck, décolletage, and hands.

You can expect a degree of swelling in the area treated. In some cases, there may be bruising which takes a few days to subside.

Treatments can be performed at 4-6 week intervals. As collagen production takes up to three months to occur, over this time you will notice improvements in your skin’s texture and elasticity.

Of course, we are utilising your body’s own stem cells. This means that your own inner health will affect the quality of those collected. It’s always important to maintain a well-balanced diet and drink plenty of water, and in this treatment, we encourage that more than ever.

Smoking, illness and stress will all play a part in reducing the quality of the cells extracted. During the consultation, we will collect some health history to ensure you are a suitable candidate for the treatment.

The treatment can be combined with anti-wrinkle and dermal filler injections, chemical peels, IPL rejuvenation, and Dermapen.

The areas of the body that the Viora can target include; full face (including eye area), neck and décolletage to tighten skin by increasing collagen and elastin production; arms and legs and abdomen.
The arms, legs and abdomen for circumferential reduction, cellulite treatment, skin tightening for stretch marks and body contouring.

The treatment involves the application of a gel to the skin and then placing the tip of the handpiece against the skin. The tip releases a pulse of thermal heat, penetrating energy deep into the layer that contains collagen. Between pulses, the tip cools to ensure the skin is protected from too much heat.
During the body contouring and cellulite treatments, the handpiece will also utilise the vacuum function whilst delivering the thermal energy. The vacuum function allows the energy to be delivered deeper into the tissue where the triglycerides and fatty acids are located. It helps to shift these fat cells away to be excreted through the lymphatic system.
The feeling to the patient can be likened to a deep tissue massage with mild added heat.

The treatment time varies depending on what area is being targeted, but generally 30-60 minutes.

We recommend anywhere between 3-7 treatments – depending on the desired outcome.
Then one treatment every 4-6 months for maintenance.

The wonderful news to patients is that there is no downtime! The time taken to notice results will also vary, and can take up to 3 months to see the full effect.

Unlike other rejuvenation mechanisms such as IPL and laser, LED phototherapy does not involve any direct contact with the skin and does not use any heat to deliver the treatment. It is therefore very safe to use on all skin types and all skin conditions, with no recovery time.

Our LED light can be set at specific wavelengths (3 different wavelengths including red, blue and infra-red, alone or combined) for skin rejuvenation, inflammation reduction and to promote healing. It can also be used to treat acne.

The treatment itself generally takes 20 minutes and you simply lay back and relax whilst the machine delivers the required light.

When treating for skin rejuvenation, we use the red LED light and aim for treatments to be done every 1 to 4 weeks.
The treatment can be combined with facial microdermabrasion, skin peels, and Dermapen treatments.
When treating acne, we use both the blue and red LED light and treatments should be twice a week for 8 weeks and then once a week for 4 weeks. This regime will help to reduce the bacteria and inflammation which in turn reduces the active acne lesions.

The LED can also be used post-surgical procedures to help promote healing.
