Tell us about the advanced technology you use and what makes your treatments unique.
We offer advanced aesthetic treatments powered by cutting-edge Biotech technology. These treatments are designed to provide superior results for skin rejuvenation, anti-aging and overall skin health. They include:
Biotech Innofacial: This is the only hydra-dermabrasion procedure that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction and hydration together with antioxidant protection, resulting in clearer and more beautiful skin. The treatment is soothing, non-invasive and non-irritating. It’s also combined in some of our advanced facial treatments.
Biotech Quad Laser: This is a 4-in-1 wavelength technology consisting of Alexandrite laser, two frequency Diodes and ND Yag with an advanced cooling system. It targets to permanently remove unwanted body and facial hair by using focused laser light that targets the hair follicles, effectively damaging them to inhibit future hair growth. It’s an innovative laser hair removal solution for both women and men of all ages, starting from early teens.
Biotech Radio-frequency Vacuum Microneedling: This is a machine that uses gold-plated insulated needles that deliver high intensity radiofrequency energy and create tiny, controlled micro-injuries to encourage skin repair, smooth texture and enhance the absorption of serums that are used during the treatment. Radiofrequency RF energy also heats the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin. It’s ideal for addressing sagging skin, fine lines and overall skin laxity. When combined, RF and microneedling target both the superficial and deeper layers of the skin, delivering exceptional results for tightening, texture improvement and scar reduction.
All our machines are manufactured in South Korea.
How do you choose the right treatment for a client during a consultation?
Our consultation begins with a skin analysis with a medical grade skin analyser that provides a detailed assessment of the skin’s surface and deeper layers, measuring hydration levels, oil production, texture, pore size and pigmentation. It helps identify issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, acne, pore congestion, skin tone unevenness and skin aging. This real-time analysis plays a crucial role in raising awareness about the health of an individual’s skin and helps educate them on how to take better care of it, after which products and treatments are tailored to the client according to what their skin needs.
For clients undergoing multi-step treatments, the analyser helps monitor the progression of how the skin is improving over time.
How do you personalise your treatments to each client?
Our treatments are customised to address unique skin concerns, consisting of our latest FDA-approved medical-grade equipment and professional skincare products that work hand in hand to improve skin quality, texture and tone from within, providing safe, effective and long lasting results.
We offer a curated selection of professional skincare products that contain higher concentrations of active ingredients, designed to target a variety of skin concerns with proven efficacy. This ensures that the results of your in-clinic treatments are supported and enhanced at home. We believe in not just treating surface-level concerns but addressing the overall health of your skin.
What are the benefits of laser hair removal versus other depilatory methods?
One of the biggest advantages is its ability to provide long-term hair reduction. Most traditional hair removal methods, such as shaving, waxing and depilatory creams, only provide temporary solutions. These methods remove hair at the surface level, but they don’t address the hair follicle, so hair regrows relatively quickly.
The laser targets the hair follicle with precise light energy, damaging it to inhibit future hair growth. After several sessions (usually six to eight weeks) permanent hair reduction can be achieved, meaning most clients will experience a significant decrease in hair growth, and some may even see complete hair removal.
What skincare range do you use for your treatments?
Awarded ZO Skin by Dr Zain Obagi. Lamelle and DermaFix, both manufactured in South Africa.
What is the difference between cosmetic and derma-cosmeceutical products?
Cosmetic products are intended for general beautification and hygiene. They provide temporary cosmetic improvements that work on the skin’s surface, while derma-cosmeceuticals are more scientifically advanced, often containing higher concentrations of active ingredients that penetrate deeper into the skin and can lead to more substantial improvements in the skin’s health and appearance over time.
What are the signature treatments that new clients definitely try?
Our Innofacial treatment is highly recommended! The hydra-dermabrasion procedure (unlike traditional microdermabrasion that uses crystals to exfoliate the skin) uses water and combined serums such as AHA, BHA and Butylene glyco to exfoliate more gently and effectively, leaving the skin smooth, refreshed and deeply hydrated. It’s suitable for sensitive skin and provides a non-irritating exfoliation and extraction of blackheads using the same technique.
