DERMAL FILLERS
Learn more
Dermal filler treatment is a cosmetic procedure designed to restore volume and smoothness to the skin, primarily in areas where wrinkles, fine lines, or volume loss have occurred due to aging or other factors. The goal of dermal filler treatment is to achieve a natural-looking result by strategically injecting a gel-like substance into targeted areas of the face or body. This substance, typically composed of hyaluronic acid helps to plump up the skin, fill in wrinkles and lines, and enhance facial contours.
The emphasis on achieving a natural-looking result is crucial in dermal filler treatments to ensure that the enhancement complements the individual’s unique features without appearing overly exaggerated or artificial. Achieving this delicate balance requires both skill and artistry on the part of the medical professional performing the procedure.
It’s essential for dermal filler treatments to be performed by a qualified medical professional because dermal fillers are classified as medical devices. These professionals have the expertise to assess each patient’s specific needs, determine the most suitable type and amount of filler, and administer the injections safely and effectively. Moreover, they can manage any potential complications or adverse reactions that may arise during or after the treatment.
Anti-Wrinkle

Botulinum toxin treatment, commonly known as Botox®, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily paralyzing the underlying muscles. The goal of botulinum toxin treatment for aesthetic purposes is to achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance by targeting specific areas of the face where wrinkles and lines commonly form, such as the forehead, glabella (between the eyebrows), and crow’s feet. The aim is to soften wrinkles and lines while preserving the natural mobility and expressiveness of the face, allowing patients to look refreshed and rejuvenated without appearing “overdone.”
Botulinum toxin injections, such as Botox®, are classified as prescription-only drugs. This means that they can only be obtained and administered by qualified medical professionals who have the necessary prescribing authority. It is legally and technically mandatory for patients to be evaluated by a prescriber before undergoing botulinum toxin treatment.
During this evaluation, the prescriber assesses the patient’s medical history, evaluates their facial anatomy, and discusses their aesthetic goals and expectations. Based on this assessment, the prescriber develops a customized treatment plan tailored to the patient’s specific needs.
SKIN BOOSTER
Learn more
The goal of hyaluronic acid-based injectable skin boosters, exemplified by well-known products like Profhilo®, is to rejuvenate and enhance the skin’s appearance by delivering deep hydration and improving overall skin quality. These injectable treatments consist of highly purified hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that plays a crucial role in maintaining skin hydration, elasticity, and firmness.
By carefully injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin’s deeper layers, injectable skin boosters work to replenish lost moisture, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and restore volume and elasticity. This helps to smooth fine lines, wrinkles, and crepey skin, while also improving skin texture and radiance.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers that focus on adding volume to specific areas, hyaluronic acid-based skin boosters such as Profhilo® are designed to provide comprehensive hydration and rejuvenation throughout the treated area. They target multiple concerns simultaneously, offering a holistic approach to skin revitalisation.
The result is a more youthful, plump, and radiant complexion, with improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall hydration. With regular treatment sessions, patients can enjoy long-lasting benefits and a natural-looking enhancement that enhances their confidence and beauty.
POLYNUCLEOTIDES
Learn more
Polynucleotide injections offer an innovative approach to skin rejuvenation, providing a comprehensive solution for enhancing skin quality and promoting a more youthful appearance. Polynucleotides are chains of nucleic acids sourced from natural origins such as trout or salmon DNA.
By administering polynucleotide injections into the skin, the treatment stimulates the skin’s inherent regenerative processes. This encourages collagen and elastin production, enhances cellular turnover, and improves skin texture, firmness, and elasticity. Additionally, polynucleotide injections can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation, effectively addressing a range of skin concerns.
Distinguishing themselves from traditional fillers and other injectable treatments, polynucleotide injections work at a cellular level. They target the underlying causes of skin aging rather than merely masking its effects. This makes them particularly effective for addressing various concerns, including sun damage, loss of skin tone, overall skin laxity, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation.
The results of polynucleotide injections are gradual and natural-looking, with improvements continuing to develop over time as the skin’s regenerative processes are activated. Moreover, as polynucleotides are derived from natural sources, they are biocompatible and generally well-tolerated by the skin.
Overall, polynucleotide injections offer a holistic approach to skin rejuvenation. They provide patients with long-lasting results and a refreshed, revitalized complexion. With their ability to address multiple aspects of skin aging, including acne scars and hyperpigmentation, they represent a promising option for those seeking to restore and enhance their natural beauty.
CHEMICAL PEEL
Learn more
These non-invasive treatments are meticulously formulated to delicately exfoliate the skin’s outermost layer, targeting common concerns such as dullness, fine lines, and minor imperfections.
Superficial chemical peels work by applying a carefully selected blend of acids, typically alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), to the skin’s surface. These acids work to break down dead skin cells and stimulate cell turnover, revealing fresher, smoother skin beneath. By encouraging the shedding of dull, damaged cells, superficial peels help to refine texture, even out tone, and promote a youthful glow.
One of the key benefits of superficial chemical peels is their minimal downtime. Unlike deeper chemical peels, which may require several days of recovery, superficial peels typically involve little to no downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities with ease. This makes them an ideal option for busy individuals seeking quick yet noticeable improvements in their skin’s appearance.
It’s important to note the distinction between over the counter, at-home superficial peels and those administered by medical professionals. While over-the-counter options may offer mild exfoliation and temporary improvements, medical-grade superficial peels are formulated with higher concentrations of active ingredients and are performed under the supervision of trained professionals. This ensures both safety and efficacy, as well as the ability to tailor the treatment to your specific skin concerns and goals.
In contrast, medium-depth chemical peels penetrate deeper into the skin, targeting more significant concerns such as moderate wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven pigmentation. While these peels offer more pronounced results, they also entail a longer recovery period.
Whether you’re looking to refresh your skin for a special occasion or maintain a healthy, radiant complexion year-round, superficial chemical peels provide a convenient, effective solution. Our expertly tailored treatments are designed to address your specific skincare needs, helping you achieve the smooth, glowing skin you’ve always desired.
MICRONEEDLING
Learn more
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves the use of fine, sterile needles to create microscopic channels in the skin’s surface.
These tiny punctures stimulate the skin’s natural healing response, triggering the production of collagen and elastin – the building blocks of healthy, youthful skin. As collagen and elastin levels increase, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more radiant, with improvements in texture, tone, and overall quality.
Microneedling is highly versatile and can be tailored to address a wide range of skincare concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven pigmentation, and dullness. Additionally, the controlled injury created by the microneedles allows for better penetration of topical skincare products, enhancing their efficacy and results.
Unlike more invasive procedures, microneedling is minimally invasive and requires little to no downtime. While some redness and mild swelling may occur immediately following treatment, these side effects typically subside within a few days, leaving you with a refreshed, revitalised complexion.
It’s important to note that microneedling is most effective when performed by a trained skincare professional using medical-grade devices. This ensures both safety and optimal results, as well as the ability to customise the treatment to your unique skin concerns and goals.
Whether you’re seeking to address specific skincare issues or simply want to maintain a healthy, youthful complexion, microneedling offers a safe, effective solution. Discover the transformative power of microneedling and unlock the radiant skin you’ve always dreamed of.
BIO SPICULE THERAPY
Learn more
Bio Spicule Therapy also called Bio Microneedling is a non-invasive treatment that uses natural micro-needles, or “spicules,” derived from marine-based materials or botanical sources. These tiny spicules are embedded into a specialized serum and gently massaged into the skin. Acting as microscopic needles, the spicules stimulate the skin’s regenerative processes, improving cell turnover, collagen production, and skin texture.
This therapy offers the benefits of traditional microneedling without the need for mechanical devices, making it an ideal option for those seeking a gentle yet powerful approach to skin rejuvenation.
Effectively targets a range of issues, including:
- Acne and acne scars
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone
- Enlarged pores
- Dull or tired-looking skin
