Fortunately, you don’t have to be rich or famous to schedule an affordable microneedling treatment with our highly trained aesthetic specialists. You can achieve the same dramatic results from your microneedling appointments that celebrities rely on to keep them looking years younger.

MICRONEEDLING REJUVENATES YOUR SKIN FROM WITHIN!

Perhaps one of the reasons microneedling is so popular with celebrities is its ability to regenerate healthy, new collagen cells; not many treatments can offer this! Our microneedling device doesn’t just erase the signs of ageing, but it promotes new collagen cells to grow from within the deeper layers of your skin. 

That means your skin retains its elasticity, similar to when you were younger and your skin was naturally full of collagen and elastin. These are the support structures that give you a more youthful appearance by keeping your skin firm and supple.  

The Rejuvapen NXT microneedling device uses a group of tiny needles to create microscopic punctures on the surface of your skin at various depths. We know that the idea of creating tiny pricks in the skin can seem ominous, but the punctures are more like pinpricks that enter only surface-level deep. Although the punctures are small, they’ll be enough to jumpstart the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in a plumped, more youthful appearance.

This procedure takes just about 30 minutes, which is perhaps another selling point for celebrities with packed schedules!

ALL THAT GAIN AND NO PAIN!

When performed by a professional, microneedling is not an uncomfortable treatment. You may feel pressure and perhaps a warm scratching feeling as the device moves across your skin. This pressure will be more noticeable in areas where the skin is thin, such as the forehead and around the nose, but the numbing cream we apply at the start of each treatment does a great job of keeping our clients comfortable. They are often surprised at just how gentle the treatment is!

MICRONEEDLING MINIMISES SCARS, AGE-SPOTS AND SO MUCH MORE

Science has shown that microneedling can achieve positive molecular changes in the skin (dermal remodelling) and that total healing from a procedure usually happens within five days.

Meanwhile, research has shown the procedure to be safe and effective in treating the following skin issues:

• Wrinkles: A 2018 study found four microneedling treatments spaced out every 30 days to improve wrinkles, skin laxity, and skin texture.
• Scars: Positive results have been seen with atrophic (indented) scars from acne or chickenpox, hypertrophic (raised) scars, and keloid (raised and larger than original wound) scars.
• Stretch marks(striae distensae): A 2019 review of seven studies found microneedling to be effective in improving stretch marks.
• Patchy hair loss(alopecia): Microneedling used along with drugs like minoxidil has been shown to yield more substantial hair growth than using minoxidil alone.
• Grey or brown skin patches(melasma): One review of 22 melasma cases treated with microneedling showed improvement in all cases.
• Absorption of topical skin applications: One of the biggest purported benefits of microneedling is its ability to help products like serums and moisturizers penetrate deeper and become more effective.

Microneedling has proven to be effective in treating people of all skin colours.

And, while your skin may be slightly pink, as if you have a mild sunburn immediately following treatment, it’s the best time to let your moisturiser really sink in and hydrate your skin from within.

Our Rejuvapen NXT Microneedling device works very well as a one-off skin rejuvenation treatment, however for most clients we recommend a series of sessions for maximum results. The recovery and skin regeneration process can be aided greatly by adding an LED session to your Rejuvapen NXT treatment.

To preserve the results of microneedling, it is important to take care of your skin through limiting sun exposure(with sunscreen or wearing protective clothing) and through a conscientious at-home beauty routine.

Brow lamination is essentially a perm for your eyebrows. By using the right products, your brow artist can restructure your brows in a way that fixes the hair vertically, keeping them in their desired shape. It gives the impression of fuller, thicker and fluffier brows with results that can last up to six weeks.

Our brow artists comb the hair upward, sideways or using the length of the brow hair to increase the width of the eyebrows. The technique will depend on your natural brows and your preferred finished result. By combing the brow hair in the direction you want, it is possible to cover gaps in your brows, making them appear fuller, and achieving the fluffy brow look that can be seen all over social media right now.

ARE ALL BROWS SUITABLE FOR LAMINATION?

Brow Lamination is a safe, temporary and affordable treatment and is suitable and safe for most people, as long as they have natural brow hair. If your brow concern is thinning, over-plucking, unevenness, gaps or unruliness, brow lamination is extremely effective at fixing these issues.

For the best results, you should ideally have hair throughout your entire brow area – brow lamination will fill out the brows but cannot cover up large gaps or patches of missing hair. While treatments such as Microblading offer a semi-permanent solution to thinner or sparse brow types, Brow Lamination is a great, pain-free alternative for creating the illusion of full, perfectly styled brows. It will enable you to cover small gaps in your brows and gives the illusion of full, feathered brows – all done in under an hour!

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A BROW LAMINATION TREATMENT?

At least 24 hours prior to a brow lamination treatment, you must have a consultation and patch test (similar to any treatment involving chemicals or dyes). The style and shape of your eyebrow will also be discussed beforehand to ensure you get the result that you want.

A cream solution is applied to your brows to lift and straighten the hair structure. A styling lotion is applied first to separate the bonds between the keratin clusters. This makes it easier to mould the hairs into a new shape. After this process is completed the lamination fixing lotion is applied; this is the most important step of the procedure as it rebuilds the bonds in the hairs and locks them into their new shape for up to six weeks!

Traditional brow services, such as waxing, threading and tinting can be added to the service afterwards, further perfecting the appearance of your brows. The treatment is then finished with a moisturising oil to soothe the skin and nourish the brows.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO AFTER A BROW LAMINATION TREATMENT?

For the first 24 hours, there are a few things that you must not do after you have had your eyebrows laminated.

• Wet your eyebrows – The moisture will prevent the products from working correctly and will not allow the hairs to set in the correct position. This could mean that you lose the shape of the eyebrows. 
• Rub your eyebrows – This is because there are many oils on your fingers that can clog the open pores near your eyebrows.
• Apply any cream or oils around the eyebrow area.
• Apply heavy makeup near your eyebrows(this means no concealer or foundation). 
• Take a sauna, steamy shower or sweat excessively.

A brow lamination treatment also works well together with many of our other services! You could absolutely pair your eyelash extension and lash lifts with brow lamination, so why not book in for a combo treatment and really treat yourself?
