Specialised needling methods to enhance the skin's appearance. Depth, oscillation control and medium are customised to each person's needs. Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses fine needles to create tiny micro-injuries in the skin. These stimulate the body's natural wound-healing process, promoting collagen and elastin, which are essential for the skin's structure, firmness and texture.

Commonly used for pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores and uneven skin tone. It is generally well tolerated, healing time is typically short, and it can be performed on the face and body for smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

A variety of medical-grade facial treatments for teens and adults, including the Korean glass facial and Carboxy facial, plus body treatments. Your therapist will recommend the right facial for your skin at consultation.

Medical-grade peels are classified by how deeply they penetrate:

• Superficial (light) peels target only the outermost layer of skin (epidermis), with minimal downtime. Used for mild concerns like dryness or slight discolouration.
• Medium-depth peels penetrate deeper and help with acne scars and moderate wrinkles. Recovery takes longer.
• Deep peels reach the deeper layers for deep wrinkles or pronounced sun damage, and need more downtime and aftercare.

They give stronger results than non-medical options because of higher concentrations of actives such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid or trichloroacetic acid (TCA). Redness, peeling and sensitivity may occur during recovery.

Exosome treatments harness the regenerative power of exosomes to stimulate healing, collagen production and cellular turnover.

• For skin: delivered with microneedling, which creates tiny channels so the solution penetrates deeply, or applied topically after peels or laser to speed healing.
• For hair: applied to the scalp where hair loss is present, often combined with microneedling or PRP, to stimulate dormant follicles, thicken existing hair, reduce shedding and improve scalp health, with no surgery involved.

Exosomes carry signalling molecules and growth factors that support collagen and elastin, hydration, tone, texture and elasticity, and help improve the appearance of scars.

PRP uses your own blood to promote healing, rejuvenation and tissue regeneration, harnessing the natural growth factors in platelets. It is used for hair restoration, skin rejuvenation, stretch marks and scars.

1. Blood collection. A small amount of blood is drawn by a doctor or nurse.
2. Processing. The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate a concentrated platelet-rich plasma.
3. Application. A qualified aesthetician microneedles or Turtlepins the PRP into the target area, such as the scalp or face.

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound uses ultrasound energy to tighten skin on the face, a popular alternative to surgery for tightening and lifting. It can:

• Treat early signs of ageing
• Contour facial features
• Redefine the jawline
• Improve skin elasticity
• Reduce wrinkles and fine lines
• Lift brows, cheeks and eyelids
• Tighten the décolletage

A minimally invasive treatment that uses ultrasound energy to destroy fat cells, contouring areas like the abdomen, love handles and thighs.

• High-intensity focused ultrasound energy targets fat cells under the skin
• The fat cells are destroyed while skin and other tissues are left unharmed
• The body's natural healing process eliminates the treated fat cells

If lifestyle changes are not enough, medical interventions may be necessary, particularly for people with obesity or other health conditions. Weight loss is highly individual, and combining a balanced diet, regular exercise, behavioural changes and possibly medical interventions is often the most effective route to sustainable results. A consultation always comes first, so you choose the safest and most appropriate method for your health and goals.

Concentrated laser light is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair and converted to heat, damaging the follicle and inhibiting future growth. Suitable for the face, legs, underarms, bikini line and back, and a longer-lasting alternative to shaving, waxing or tweezing.

• Long-lasting: reduced growth after a course of treatments; some people need periodic maintenance
• Precise: targets the follicle and leaves surrounding skin unharmed
• Fast: each pulse treats many hairs in a fraction of a second
• Comfortable: most people feel only slight discomfort

Alopecia affects both men and women and takes several forms:

• Alopecia areata: an autoimmune condition causing small, round patches of hair loss
• Androgenetic alopecia: male or female pattern hair loss, linked to genetics and hormones
• Alopecia totalis: complete hair loss on the scalp
• Telogen effluvium: temporary thinning triggered by stress, illness, hormonal changes, medication or nutritional deficiencies
• Traction alopecia: caused by tight hairstyles such as braids, ponytails or buns
• Scarring alopecia: inflammation replaces follicles with scar tissue

We offer a specialised microscopic scalp scan to build a personalised protocol, using EXO-hair and AQ Hair solutions.

A handheld laser delivers a concentrated beam of UVB light to the affected skin only, leaving healthy tissue untouched. Used for psoriasis, vitiligo, eczema, lichen planus, dermatitis and alopecia areata.

• Botulinum toxin blocks the nerve signals that make targeted muscles contract, softening expression lines from frowning, squinting or raising the eyebrows. Effects typically last 3 to 6 months.
• Dermal fillers restore volume, smooth wrinkles and enhance contours such as lips and cheekbones. Unlike botulinum toxin, fillers add volume and structure rather than relaxing muscles.

IV drips for skin deliver essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and hydration directly into the bloodstream. Because nutrients bypass the digestive system they are absorbed more efficiently than oral supplements, helping with ageing, dryness, pigmentation and dullness.
