Everything you should know prior to your first visit.
Treatment Information
What to expect during your skin journey
Step 1 - Skin Health Advisory Session
Each skin journey begins with a one-on-one Skin Health Advisory Session. This stage allows for a professional treatment plan and at home skincare regime to be prescribed to you to ensure your specific skin concerns are successfully addressed.
Please note, your skin and skincare regime will be continuously reassessed throughout your skin journey.
Step 2 - Skin Preparation Treatments
An essential stage of your skin journey, this stage focuses on creating healthy functioning skin in preparation for corrective treatments designed to treat specific skin concerns.
If the skin is properly prepared during this stage, the skin will respond better to the 'Corrective Skin Treatments' stage and your results will be visibly enhanced.
Step 3 - Corrective Skin Treatments
Once the skin has been adequately prepped, corrective skin treatments may begin. This stage is all about addressing your specific skin concerns.
Step 4 - Maintenance Treatments
After we have achieved your desired results, we then move onto the maintenance stage which will involve a treatment every 4-6 weeks to ensure your skin is kept healthy and functioning at its best.
It is important to understand that no two skins are alike so the timeframe for each stage may not be exactly the same for each person.
