Botulinum Toxin/Botox®:
Also known as anti-wrinkle or tox, Botulinum toxin is injected into the muscle to prevent muscle movement causing lines in the skin. I use Botox®, the most commonly known brand. Common treatment areas include Frown, Forehead, Crow’s Feet or Platysma, also know as a “Nefertiti neck lift”. I can also treat under arms for excessive sweating, also known as Hyperhidrosis. Queries about other areas can be discussed during your complementary consultation.
Dermal Filler:
Juvederm® filler is used to treat different areas on the face. It is a temporary filler made from Hyaluronic Acid. It can be used to restore lost volume and fill lines in the skin or augmenting and defining areas on the face. Filler is used to treat Cheeks, Lips, Periorals/Lip lines (Smoker’s lines), Marionettes, Nasolabial folds, Chin & Jawline.
Please note: I do not offer tear trough, nose or temple filler
Microneedling:
Microneedling, also known as Derma needling or Collagen Induction Therapy, uses micro needles to penetrate the skin to trigger the body’s own natural healing response, which boosts collagen production. It is great for improving fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture, pigmentation, reducing pore size and helps with acne scarring. Optional add ons of either NCTF or prescription growth factor.
NCTF is a hyaluronic acid serum containing vitamins and minerals to give an extra boost to the treatment.
Prescription growth factor is a topical growth factor applied to increase healing time and boost results. Ideal for acne scarring and fine lines.
Biostimulator:
HArmonyCa is a dual-effect injectable that combines Hyaluronic Acid with Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHa). The hyaluronic acid provides volume for an immediate lifting effect and the CaHa is a collagen biostimulator, which improves skin quality. It interacts with collagen-producing cells in the skin and encourages them to make more natural collagen, which helps to improve the skins structure from within.
You’ll notice a lifted effect straight away, whilst the CaHa takes time to work on the collagen stimulation and can last up to a year.
Skin Booster/Hydrafiller:
Anti-aging injectable treatment made of Hyaluronic Acid to improve skin hydration and skin quality. Provides intense hydration and a powerful moisturising effect that leaves the skin smooth, plump and glowing. Can help with fine lines, crepey skin, texture and hydration. Lasts 6-9 months. A great treatment to do in conjunction with Botox.
Chemical Peels:
PCA Skin chemical peels are professional-grade treatments designed to improve skin tone, texture and clarity – with minimal downtime. These advanced formulations use carefully blended acids to gently exfoliate the skin, stimulate renewal and reveal a brighter, smoother complexion. Unlike traditional “one-size-fits-all” peels, PCA Skin peels are customised to your skin type and concerns making them safe and effective for all skin types.
Can treat acne & congestion, pigmentation & sun damage, fine lines & early signs of aging, uneven skin tone, dull & tired skin.
PCA Skin is a globally recognised, medical-grade skincare brand known for science-backed formulations and consistent results.
