LASER hair REMOVAL

Dermaplaning is not suitable for you if you have any of the following: Active acne Bleeding disorders or difficulty clotting Diabetes that is not under the control of medication or diet Skin cancers, cold sores/herpes, keloid scarring or eczema Cancer that is undergoing treatment, including chemotherapy or radiation

A dermaplaning treatment takes approximately 45 minutes, including skin prep and blading and a rejuvenating mask applied. The treatment can be repeated every 4-8 weeks.

There is no down time associated with derma planing however we recommend following these guidelines for best results: Wear a physical SPF daily. Avoid sun exposure for 5-7 days post treatment. Waxing and hair removal procedures should be avoided for 7-14 days post procedure. Facial treatments are not advised for a minimum of 7 days post procedure. Exfoliating products are not to be used for 3 -5 days.

Your hair will grow back exactly the same colour and structure as it was prior to Dermaplaning; this is because the actual hair follicles are not being impacted.

Significantly reduced hair growth after each treatment. Hair that does grow back is finer than the original hair. Multiple laser sessions are required at 4-8 week intervals. Typically 6-10 sessions may be required

Stay out of the sun for at least two weeks. Avoid using any spray tan or self-tanning lotion at least a week before treatment. Shave the area the night before or the day of treatment.

The area may feel like you have a mild sunburn for up to two hours. Application of cool towel or ice pack is advised. Always use SPF 50 on treated areas and avoid sun exposure. Do not wax between laser sessions; only shave if necessary.

People experiencing: pregnancy and breast feeding, roaccutane, papulopustular rosacea, active acne, cancer or radiation therapy, keloid scarring or abnormal wound healing, permanent fillers, recent fillers (within last 2 weeks), waxing (within 1 week), warfarin, herpes simplex, sunburn, open wounds of any kind, eczema, dermatitis, infections, recent facial surgery, warts, bacterial fungal infections, solar keratosis, haemophilia, should NOT get this treatment. Consult with a medical professional if you're unsure.

Rejuvenation: 4-6 treatments 4 weeks apart Acne Scarring: 6 treatments 6 weeks apart Stretch marks: 4-8 treatments 4-6 weeks apart

Patient After Care for the next 2-5 days following treatment Skin is to be kept as clean as possible to reduce infection. Avoid the use of moisturisers or lotions containing active ingredients such as retinol, glycolic acids, perfumes and colours. Do not exfoliate the skin or pick as this may cause infection or scaring Do not expose the skin to the sun as your skin will be a little more sensitive. Wear a hat and sunscreen daily Avoid vigorous exercise, saunas, chlorinated and salt water pools, steam baths and hot showers for 48 hours Do not wax, IPL, laser or depilatory creams for 2 weeks following your treatment Apply moisturiser as required. Contact the salon on 0437 207 756 if you have any further queries

Skin Preparation Healthy skin will respond far better to treatment than a weak skin therefore a skin care regime using active ingredients prior is always recommended. We can help you with this. Applying a numbing cream (purchased from a chemist) 45 minutes prior to a cleansed skin is optional for comfort.

Smoking reduces the capacity for skin to make collagen, as it is harder to stimulate growth factors. Therefore it also reduces the skins natural ability to heal. More bruising may occur following the needling process and therefore result may be limited

Each person experiences pain differently and needle lengths will vary over different areas of the face. You may feel a warmth or scratching sensation once the procedure starts. If you have opted to apply a numbing cream prior to your procedure you won’t feel much pain. Pin point bleeding is to be expected with some peoples treatments depending on the condition being treated however skin will not continue to bleed following the treatment.

You may experience facial redness, sensitivity and inflammation for 12-48 hours after the treatment. The skin can become tight and slightly uncomfortable. Bruising, crusting and light flaking may occur on the days following the procedure. Grazing and pustules may also occur but are not common. Application of a breathable camouflage will seal the skin and cover any redness for an immediate return to work. The wound healing response is the biological repair action that cascades within the skin after micro trauma. The microscopic puncture channels created by Dermapen™ create controlled regeneration. 3 Stages of wound healing The inflammation phase – first 48 hours to 5 days post treatment. Redness occurs, bacteria and debris are phagocytosed or removed. Platelets form to prevent further bleeding and release growth factors. Proliferation phase – day 2 – 21 post treatment. Angiogenesis, fibroblasts grow and form a new extra cellular matrix, by excreting collagen and fibronectin. Re-epithelisation of the epidermis occurs and epithelial cells proliferate and migrate to the wound providing protection for new tissue. Maturation – 20 days to 24 months. Collagen is remodelled and realigned. Type III collagen is replaced by type I. Scar tissue is flattened. Cells that are no longer needed are removed. ​ We highly recommend a hydrafacial or enzyme treatment 7-14 days following your treatment for elevated results to the skin!

Typically, you will see results after the first treatment. Lasting and more significant results will occur after 4 to 6 treatments (spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Your skin will continue to improve over the next 6-12 months after a course of treatments and when combined with the recommended post treatment care.

Results are immediate, with smooth, glowing, hydrated skin visible right after your session.

Expected changes over the next 7 days apart from healthy, hydrated glowing skin include: Day 1 to 3 – Your skin may experience tightness, redness and sensitivity (similar to a mild sunburn) Day 3 to 7 – Possible peeling or slight flaking lasting 2 to 5 days With the lymphatic system being stimulated your skin may purge for a few days following your initial treatment.

Avoid the use of moisturisers or lotions containing active ingredients such as retinol, glycolic acids, perfumes and colours for 3 days Your skin will be a little more sensitive to the sun so keep sun exposure to a minimum. Please wear a hat and sunscreen daily. This should be a regular routine for you anyway! Apply foundation as you wish Slight flaking may develop in some areas. If so please do not rub or pick the skin as this may lead to a scar.

You will notice a visible difference after just one session. Each session can range from 30 to 60 minutes; for best results, we recommend a 60-minute session to ensure thorough skin care infusion. As for treatment frequency, this can vary from weekly to every 8 weeks, depending on the treated area and your skin's response. To achieve optimal results, we advise a series of 6-8 treatments however we recommend consulting with your therapist for personalised recommendations.

Yes. Often a very challenging and risky condition to treat. SQT Bio microneedling gently breaks down the bond between pigmented cells, increases cell turnover to move these to the surface, and contains pigment-inhibiting ingredients to prevent future issues.

Many treatments cannot be done during pregnancy or while breastfeeding due to certain risks to the mother and/or baby. SQT Biomicroneedling does not use chemicals or devices that can cause harm to the mother or child. It is all-natural.

Depending on the specific skin condition. 3 x treatments are recommended. If more severe skin issues then 5-6 treatments.

Yes. SQT Biomicroneedling repairs and enhances the health of the skin barrier and can calm and balance rosacea and skin sensitivity.

The degree of peeling depends on the intensity of the facial massage and the pre-condition of skin (other treatments & products used prior) The peeling part indicates skin that is regenerating faster or dead cells that have accumilated over time. If peeling hasn't occured it does not mean the client will not see results. If erythema was induced then the collagen synthesis has been ingnited.

SQT Bio microneedling assists in killing the bacteria that cause acne, calms inflammation, and increases cell turnover to speed up skin resurfacing and healing.

Spicules are the endoskeleton of a sponge. They are a sharp, barbed like structure that contain important nutrients and minerals for the skin. SQT Spongilla spicule needles travel deep into the dermal layer of your skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin synthesis. It is a hydrolyte of the purest organism in the world, a raw material purified by a patented refining technology. The Spongilla therapy speeds up the cell turnover process to 5-7 days (regardless of your age) leaving your skin feeling smoother, more youthful, and vibrant. 3-5 million micro channels are created within 5 minutes of treatment application! The skin is being stimulated for up to 72 hours post treatment, providing nutrients to the skin and peeling off waste. It also improves the effectiveness of topical skin care products, enhancing their absorption by up to 3,000%.

Acne/pimple breakout. (All underlying congestion is pushed to the surface). Pigmentation can seem worse. (All existing pigmentation is pushed to the surface). Skin peeling and flaking. (The degree of peeling depends on the treatment’s intensity, the client’s skin condition, aftercare, and even the atmospheric moisture level. No two skins are alike and will react differently to different treatments). “Needles” inside the skin. (We have introduced millions of teeny tiny microscopic needles into the skin. This can be experienced as mild irritation for 2-3 days). Within the 2-3 day period, the SQT treatment may induce some redness, mild swelling, and itchiness at this time.

The sebaceous glands in the skin produce sebum, an oily substance that helps to lubricate and protect the skin. When the sebaceous glands produce too much sebum, which can be influenced by: Hormonal imbalances Gut health/Diet Genetics Certain Medications and Certain Medical Conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) the sebum then mixes with dead skin cells and plugs up the hair follicles, leading to the development of acne.

WHITEHEADS Occurs when a pore becomes clogged with a mix of dead skin cells and sebum. BLACKHEADS Blackheads get their name because they appear as dark spots in your skin. Like whiteheads, blackheads are caused by clogged pores that change colour when exposed to oxygen. PAPULES Swollen red bumps that so many of us imagine as “typical” breakouts. PUSTULES Essentially papules that fill with pus when your immune system kicks in. NODULES Appear similar to papules but start deeper within the layers of your skin CYSTS Like nodules, cysts resemble deep, red lumps. But unlike nodules, cysts are filled with pus or other liquids. MILIA Milia are small, light bumps that often crop up around your nose, cheeks, and eyes. They are caused by trapped skin flakes or keratin deposits. BOOK YOUR SKIN CONSULTATION HERE

Pigmentation refers to an uneven distribution of melanin in the skin, resulting in dark or light patches, spots, or areas. This condition can be caused by a range of factors, including genetics, sun exposure, hormonal changes, and skin inflammation or injury. Common types of pigmentation include melasma, age spots, freckles, and post- inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Can be cause by: Skin inflammation (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) Use of certain drugs (such as minocycline, certain cancer chemotherapies, and birth control pills) Hormone system diseases such as Addison Disease. Hemochromatosis (iron overload) Sun exposure. Pregnancy (melasma, or mask of pregnancy) Trauma (physical and heat)

Freckles​ These develop after repeated exposure to sunlight. Heredity also influences freckling Melasma​ ​Sits deeper in the skin’s dermis. Appears on the face as larger brown patches with a non-distinct border. Often stimulated by hormones. The condition is made worse with UV exposure, some medications, pregnancy and stress. Solar Lentigines​ ​Also referred to as liver spots or sun spots, these are pigmented spots with a clearly defined edge. They may occur anywhere on the body and vary in colour from light brown to black. These spots are caused by UV sun exposure and the degree depends on how much UV light these melanin pigments are exposed to. These must be monitored as they may develop into skin cancer and melanoma. Post Inflammatory Hyper-pigmentation​ ​This is a response to injury of the skin and can be the result of acne, burns, friction or aggressive clinical treatments such as chemical peels, dermabrasion, laser and IPL. This condition often resolves with time and generally responds to topical products, although it can recur.
