Frequently Asked Questions

Skin Needling and Fractional RF are similar in the sense they both cause a controlled wound which then triggers a healing response where new collagen and elastin fibres are produced. Skin Needling is an organic way of stimulating Collagen and Elastin production whereas Fractional RF uses a combination of dermal stamping and Radio Frequency. Radio Frequency uses deep thermal effects which result in contraction of the collagen fibres. This will give a tightening effect after the treatment.

This treatment is suitable for clients with light to medium skin tones (Fitzpatrick 1-4).

There is minimal downtime with this treatment. You may experience some redness, swelling, and slight bruising on the treated areas. This is completely normal and will usually subside within 3-5 days when you follow the recommended aftercare directions. Scabbing may occur for treated angiomas and this will usually appear 5-7 days after the treatment.

For optimum results, we recommend a minimum of 4-6 treatments done at monthly intervals. Maintenance treatments are recommended to upkeep results. Our experienced team of Skin Therapists will tailor a treatment plan to deliver on your skin goals.

Both treatments have minimal discomfort due to the application of a topical aesthetic prior to the treatment.

Combine your treatments with LED Light Therapy and Skinstitut™ cosmedical skin care.

The LED skin treatment works on a cellular level to fight active acne, and rosacea to leave your skin energised and youthful. The deep penetrating LED lights are designed to be soothing, target deep into skin cells to heighten their internal functions, photo-stimulate dermal blood flow and induce faster healing, reduce acne and treat rosacea.

Our Skinstitut™ cosmedical skin care is the latest and most effective category of skin products that can be purchased without a prescription. Often described as an advanced cosmeceutical, Cosmedicals have the ability to target not only present and past skin damage, but provide the skin with some preventative capacity for the future. Based on a medically and clinically proven blend of AHA, Retinoids, Vitamin C, Peptides, Antioxidants, and SPF technology, cosmedicals are not only reliant on a potent percentage of active ingredients but utilise carefully formulated base formulas, encapsulation technology, and penetration enhancers to deliver benefits as deep as possible into the skin. 

Depending on your skin type and condition, the treatments required may vary. Your Skin Therapist will assess the treatment area and provide a tailored program for you. Generally, we recommend a minimum of 6 treatments at fortnightly or monthly intervals. Maintenance treatments will be required to upkeep results.

Hydrojelly™ masks are suitable for all skin types and are pretty much safe for everyone.

Let us know if you have any allergies/ sensitivities, algae allergy or citric acid allergy. This mask contains oats, so we are careful to avoid the mouth area for Coeliacs.

The importance of preparation and aftercare is to ensure that you receive maximum results with minimal side effects from the treatments we offer. This includes our skin and laser treatments and can even be applied to cosmetic injections. For example, our 5 day home care pack has everything you need before and after your treatments. We'll tailor the 5 Skinstitut® products based on your skin type and the treatments you opt for.

Skinstitut® is founded on the belief that serious, high-end skincare should be accessible to everyone. For this reason, we offer the most cost-effective, cosmedical range in-clinic using top-quality, potent, cutting-edge ingredients that will maximise and prolong treatment results whilst helping heal the skin post-treatment.

Each procedure is different – our less invasive treatments (such as Microdermabrasion and superficial Cosmedical Grade Peels) give more immediate results, and our more invasive treatments (such as deeper Cosmedical Grade Peels) may take up to a month to see full results. These treatments, however, have more lasting impacts than our less invasive treatments. At your complementary skin consultation, your Skin Therapist will advise on a personalised treatment plan.

Typically, treatments take between 15 to 20 minutes depending on the type of LED light.

Yes, Cosmetic Grade Peels can enhance the results achieved from our other treatments. Cosmetic Grade Peels help improve product penetration and promote regeneration of the skin's surface layer.

Certain medications can cause the skin to be photosensitive. To avoid adverse reactions from occurring, we advise you to seek medical clearance from your GP prior to proceeding with the treatment.

Vascular Lesion Treatments are effective and improvements can frequently be seen after the first treatment. The number of required treatments will vary depending on the type and location of the vascular lesion. Broken capillaries on the facial area (usually on the cheeks, chin and around the nose), will typically require 2-4 treatments done 4-8 weeks apart.

Laser Skin Tightening is designed to stimulate dermal collagen production and help with the regeneration of damaged skin cells. Skin tightening works on both Type 1 + Type 3 collagen which is a fibrous protein, found in the extra cellular matrix (Dermis). This treatment involves heat energy being delivered into the skin to penetrate deep down whilst protecting the upper visible layers and keeping them intact. It does this by deep thermal effect within the dermis causing collagen contracture and denaturation. This will then induce growth factors and stimulate new collagen synthesis which will then replace the old collagen with new fibres that are more compact and organized to give a less wrinkled appearance. Results are seen 3 months post treatments.

No. In some circumstances, you may not experience visible peeling. This depends on your skin's condition at the time and/or the strength of the peel. You will still experience skin texture improvement due to the accelerated cell turnover rate the Cosmetic Grade Peel treatments produce.

This will depend on the type of peel used, the condition of the skin, medication was taken and general health and well-being. Certain medications and health issues may be a contradiction to a chemical peel as they can increase adverse side effects. Redness, inflammation, and mild to moderate peeling is usual for 1 – 5 days post peel. The stronger the peel, the more intense the redness, peeling, and downtime.

Many clients report seeing instantly visible improvements in skin tone or texture after just one treatment. The smooth results and hydration may last 5 to 7 days or even longer after the first treatment. As you have additional Hydrafacial treatments the result will last for longer each time.

Continued HydraFacial treatments are highly recommended to maintain skin health results.
