Other devices
Looking for something extra? We offer a variety of skin techniques and treatments, customised to find they best way to achieve your goals. We are at your service providing the safest procedures and implementing the latest technologies in the market.
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy (aka. skin boosters) is a technique that uses micro-fine needles to inject vitamins, enzymes and plant extracts to intensely hydrate, rejuvenate and tighten the skin as well as brighten and remove pigmentation.
HIFU
HIFU is a highly sought skin tightening treatment due to its non-invasive nature and efficacy. It applies high intensity focused ultrasound to the layer under the skin to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenation. It is particularly effective for jowl lifting and tightening.
Skin Needling
Skin needling is particularly helpful in the treatment of ‘ice pick’ acne scarring. The process involves the use of tiny needles to stimulate the skin for collagen and elastin production. It also creates microchannels in the skin for deeper permeation of the chosen serum.
