High Frequency
A high-frequency facial, often referred to as a high-frequency treatment, combines a classic facial with the use of a high-frequency machine. This specialized facial treatment incorporates the benefits of high-frequency technology into the standard facial routine.
The high-frequency device is made up of a special glass electrode that can be filled with either neon or argon gas. A mild electrical current is passed through the neon or argon when we apply the electrode to your skin, causing a reaction that produces a violet ray (argon) or a red ray (neon). Thermal current is used to treat acne, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, cellulite, and under-eye circles, as the devices oxygenate the skin and kill bacteria.
Benefits of High-Frequency in the Facial:
- Acne Treatment: High-frequency treatment has powerful antibacterial properties, making it effective for treating acne. It helps to kill bacteria on the skin’s surface, reducing the frequency of breakouts.
- Improved Blood Circulation: The treatment stimulates blood circulation, which can give your skin a healthy, natural glow.
- Collagen and Elastin Production: High-frequency stimulation promotes the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining the skin’s elasticity and firmness.
- Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By stimulating collagen, high-frequency can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving your skin a more youthful look.
- Pore Reduction: The treatment can help tighten and tone the skin, leading to a reduction in the appearance of enlarged pores.
- Improves Product Absorption: High-frequency enhances the penetration and absorption of skincare products, allowing them to be more effective.

Hydro Facial
Hydrodermabrasion, or oxygen facial, is the most recent advancement in the skincare industry. This amazing treatment uses cutting-edge technology to remove dry, dead skin cells from the skin’s outer layer while simultaneously injecting hydro-serum into the skin and infusing it with ingredients tailored to the skin’s needs. This triple-advanced technology optimizes the entire treatment by stimulating blood circulation and lymphatic flow at the same time. This new technology combines water and exfoliation to exfoliate effortlessly and reveal a healthier, more radiant texture. Hydrodermabrasion has proven to be the best option for sensitive skin types seeking a gentle but hydrating exfoliation.

Diamond dermabrasion, also known as diamond microdermabrasion or diamond peel, is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that offers a gentle and effective way to exfoliate the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and uneven skin texture. Unlike traditional microdermabrasion, which uses abrasive crystals to exfoliate the skin, diamond dermabrasion employs a diamond-tipped wand to gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells.

Radio Frequency
Radiofrequency (RF) facials are non-invasive cosmetic procedures that use radiofrequency energy to heat the skin tissues and stimulate collagen production. These treatments are designed to improve skin tightness, reduce wrinkles, and enhance the overall appearance of the skin. RF facials are popular because they offer a non-surgical way to achieve a more youthful complexion. Here’s how RF facials work and their benefits:
How Radio Frequency Facials Work:
- Radiofrequency Energy: RF facials use a handheld device that emits radiofrequency waves. These waves penetrate the skin’s surface and heat the underlying layers of skin, causing controlled thermal damage.
- Collagen Stimulation: The heat from the RF waves stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibers in the skin. Collagen is a protein that provides structure and firmness to the skin, while elastin gives the skin its elasticity.
- Tissue Tightening: The stimulation of collagen and elastin leads to skin tightening and improved skin tone. This tightening effect helps reduce sagging and wrinkles, giving the skin a more youthful appearance.
Benefits of Radio Frequency Facials:
- Skin Tightening: RF facials can tighten loose or sagging skin, especially in areas like the face, neck, and jowls.
- Reduction of Wrinkles and Fine Lines: By stimulating collagen production, RF facials can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, making the skin smoother and more youthful-looking.
- Improvement in Skin Texture: RF treatments can improve skin texture, making it feel softer and more supple.
- Non-Invasive and Painless: RF facials are non-surgical and generally painless. You may experience a warming sensation during the procedure, but it’s typically well-tolerated.
- Minimal Downtime: There is usually little to no downtime associated with RF facials. You can resume your regular activities immediately after the treatment.
- No Needles or Incisions: Unlike some other cosmetic procedures, RF facials do not involve needles or incisions, making them a popular choice for those seeking non-invasive treatments.
- Long-Lasting Results: While multiple sessions are often recommended for optimal results, the effects of RF facials can be long-lasting, especially with proper skincare maintenance.

Microneedling
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. Microneedling can be performed on various areas of the body, but when specifically done on the face, it is often referred to as a microneedling facial. Here’s a detailed look at microneedling facials:
How Microneedling Facial Works:
- Preparation: Before the procedure, the skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize
- Microneedling: A microneedling device equipped with fine needles is used to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures stimulate the body’s natural healing response.
- Collagen and Elastin Production: The micro-injuries trigger the body to produce collagen and elastin, two proteins essential for maintaining skin structure and elasticity. Increased collagen and elastin improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and scars.
Benefits of Microneedling Facial:
- Improves Skin Texture: Microneedling helps smooth out rough skin texture, making the skin feel softer and more supple.
- Reduces Wrinkles and Fine Lines: By stimulating collagen production, microneedling can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, giving the skin a more youthful look.

- Evens Skin Tone: Microneedling can improve skin tone and reduce hyperpigmentation, creating a more even complexion.
- Minimizes Pore Size: The treatment can help minimize the appearance of enlarged pores.

Chemical Peel
A chemical peel facial is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin to remove its damaged outer layers. This controlled exfoliation prompts the skin to peel and regenerate, resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin. Chemical peels are used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, uneven skin tone, acne scars, and sun damage. Here’s what you need to know about chemical peel facials:
Types of Chemical Peels:
- Superficial Peels: These mild peels use gentle acids like alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) to exfoliate only the outermost layer of the skin. They are used to improve skin texture and treat mild skin discoloration.
- Medium Peels: Medium-depth peels penetrate deeper into the skin using acids like trichloroacetic acid (TCA). They are effective for treating moderate skin issues, such as deeper wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven pigmentation.
- Deep Peels: Deep peels use phenol or high concentrations of TCA to deeply penetrate the skin and address severe skin problems. They are suitable for deep wrinkles and extensive sun damage.
How Chemical Peel Facials Work:
- Cleansing: The facial starts with cleansing the skin to remove makeup, dirt, and excess oil.
- Application of Chemical Solution: The chemical solution is applied to the skin using a brush or cotton applicator. The type and strength of the solution used depend on the specific skin concerns being addressed.
- Peeling Process: Over the next few days, the skin will naturally peel, revealing new, healthier skin underneath.
Benefits of Chemical Peel Facial:
- Skin Renewal: Chemical peels remove damaged skin layers, encouraging new skin cell growth and promoting a rejuvenated complexion.
- Reduced Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Chemical peels can minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially with repeated treatments.

- Reduced Pore Size: Regular chemical peels can minimize the appearance of enlarged pores.
- Boosted Collagen Production: Peels stimulate collagen production, enhancing skin firmness and elasticity.

Non-injectable Botox Facial
Our Botox facial is non-injectable as we use a combination of argireline and enzyme. These can be beneficial for individuals looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines and promote a smoother complexion without invasive procedures. The enzyme facial provides exfoliation, preparing the skin to better absorb the argireline. The exfoliation can enhance the penetration of the Argireline, potentially improving its effectiveness in softening wrinkles and fine lines.
How Non-injectable Botox Facial Works:
- Preparation: Before the procedure, the skin is cleansed to remove makeup and oils.
- Enzyme Peel: This involves the use of specific enzyme formulations on the skin to exfoliate dead skin cells and promote a smoother, more radiant complexion. Enzymes used in facials are typically derived from natural sources like fruits (papaya, pineapple) or milk. These enzymes break down the protein bonds in dead skin cells, facilitating their removal without abrasive scrubbing.
- Argireline is a peptide compound that is often used in skincare products for its anti-aging properties. It’s a synthetic peptide that is applied topically to the skin. Argireline works by inhibiting the neurotransmitters that control facial muscle contractions. By reducing muscle movement, it helps to soften fine lines and wrinkles, particularly those caused by repetitive facial expressions.
Benefits of our Non-injectable Botox Facial
- Gentle Exfoliation: A gentle exfoliation method suitable for sensitive skin types that may not tolerate physical exfoliants well.
- Brighter Complexion: By removing dead skin cells and revealing a brighter complexion.
- Unclogs Pores: Helps in clearing out clogged pores, reducing the risk of acne and blackheads.
- Improved Texture: Regular use of enzymes can lead to smoother skin texture.
- Non-Abrasive: Unlike some physical exfoliants, enzymes do not cause microtears on the skin’s surface, making them non-abrasive.
- Reduction of Fine Lines: Argireline is known for its ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes and forehead.
- Non-Invasive: Unlike Botox, Argireline is a topical solution and offers a non-invasive way to address facial wrinkles.
- Prevention: It can be used preventatively to delay the onset of wrinkles in younger individuals.

Paraffin Wax Facial
Paraffin wax facial began as a beauty trend and gained popularity in the 1960s, during the heyday of holistic treatments. Even in ancient times, the Romans were known to use paraffin for facials, and it is said that the women of the time swore by the anti-aging and skin-brightening properties of the facials.
Paraffin wax facials are a great way to open up the pores of the skin by deep cleaning, moisturising, and lightening the complexion; these are just a few of the many benefits of paraffin treatments. Best treatment for dry and dull skin.
