Microdermabrasion – The ultimate exfoliating treatment

Microdermabrasion treatment uses tiny exfoliating crystals and a powerful vacuum action to both resurface the skin and stimulate the blood flow, encouraging the skin to rejuvenate itself and produce collagen and elastin. A course of treatment followed by a monthly maintenance will keep skin in optimum condition. Find your nearest therapist here.

Radio Frequency

Dubbed the ‘Facelift’ facial this treatment uses radio frequency energy to heat the tissue causing a tightening and lifting of the skin. This non-surgical facial is a great alternative to fillers and injectables so if you don’t like needles but do like results, this could be the perfect treatment for you.

IPL Photorejuvenation

A SkinBase IPL Photorejuvenation facial removes the effects of premature ageing caused by repeat exposure to UV. This non-invasive treatment will help reduce wrinkles, redness, melasma and improve the texture and appearance of your skin for a more youthful appearance. Just make sure you start protecting skin with a high sun protection factor every day.
