Semi Permanent Make Up

Semi Permanent Make Up application is a non surgical procedure to infuse hypo-allergenic medical grade pigments into the dermal layer of the skin.

It can be used to create beautiful Semi Permanent Make Up, also known as Permanent Make Up or Cosmetic Tattoo procedures.

It is suitable for male and female clients over 18 years of age and is a refined form of tattooing.

Although often described as semi permanent it is actually classed as a permanent procedure because the pigments are being infused into the upper dermal layer of the skin and whilst they may fade with time - will always remain even if they not completely visible.

All treatments are carried out safely in a clinic environment following full consultation.

Victoria uses digital devices and single use disposable cartridges to apply all micropigmentation techniques.

Facial Treatments

Full skin analysis is carried out and treatment is tailored to each individual. Victoria uses facial electrical equipment and ultrasound to lift, firm, regenerate the skin and aid penetration of her high strength products.

A range of skin issues can be treated with great results.

Victoria uses Medik8 cosmeceuticals and the Aromatherapy Company products.

NuFACE Facial Fitness

Microcurrent works by targeting the muscles under the skin that cause our facial skin to wrinkle and sag. As we age, our muscles become accustomed to certain expressions and tend to “stick” in these positions. A great example of this is the furrow between the eyebrows. At the same time, other muscles in our face are hardly ever used, and they begin to atrophy, which leads to sagging. An example of this is around the jaw lines, chins and necks where we tend to develop sagging or loss of definition as we get older. Microcurrent facial toning devices send soft, gentle waves to the muscles in your face that help relax overly-tightened muscles and strengthen under-worked muscles. In essence, microcurrent facial toning “re-educates” the facial muscles and works to restore them back to their original state. When this happens the face is lifted, firmed and toned to a more youthful appearance. At the same time, the microcurrent improves circulation to your face which stimulates production of collagen, improves tone and texture and helps eliminate fine lines. Natural, Non-invasive Face-Lift The results can be so dramatic and immediate that microcurrent treatments are often referred to as “non-surgical face-lifts”, and known on the red carpet as “The 5 Minute Face-Lift.” No Downtime With Microcurrent Technology, there are no needles, no incisions, no need for anesthesia, and no recovery time.

Chemical Peels

A chemical peel exfoliates the dead superficial skin to allow the more vibrant skin underneath to glow through. It takes away the dull look and replaces it with a healthy glow. Without layers of dead skin cells blocking the pores, you will be less prone to breakouts, clogged pores and skincare products will penetrate better.

Peels can be used on the face or body, common areas of the body to be treated include the chest, back, and hands for skin rejuvenation, acne, or sun-damage.

The  term “chemical” peel may be deceiving. Although considered chemical peels, they are derived from natural ingredients, such as sugar cane, milk derivatives, and fruit acids. Peels have been around for centuries in a much more crude form and even Cleopatra knew the benefits of using peels to keep the skin glowing and at its best.

Treatment is not painful. There may be a mild tingling sensation and /or itchiness, depending on which peel that you have. This only lasts a few minutes and is supervised at all times, a fan can be used to alleviate any prickling. After a peel, the skin is sun-sensitive a sunscreen is applied immediately afterwards. A sun block minimum SPF 30 or more is recommended to use after your treatment.

These peel treatments, in conjunction with an effective home skincare regime of medical-grade skin care products, can be used to improve a range of skin concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation irregularities such as sun spots or age spots, enlarged pores,  acne and superficial  scarring can be addressed.

Chemical Peels will help improve:

• fine lines and wrinkles
• uneven skin texture
• acne
• dehydrated skin
• dull, sluggish skin
• sun damage and pigmentation problems
• rosacea
• congested skin
• enlarged pores
• elasticity
• the ability of the skin to absorb products

Preparing for your Peel

Prior to the procedure it is recommended that you discontinue any products with Glycolic acid or Retinol (vitamin A) for two to five days prior to the treatment. A serum should be applied daily for 2 weeks prior to treatment and it is  recommended that you stay out of the sun before treatments. If you are unsure, please contact Victoria prior to your visit.

During the Treatment

• your skin will be cleansed and examined
• your skin is prepped
• the correct peel for your skin is applied, and timed carefully
• the skin is neutralized
• an appropriate mask is applied and left on your skin 5-10 minutes
• an appropriate moisturizer and/or SPF 30 sunscreen is applied
• Glo mineral based make-up is applied if desired

Skin care products can be suggested to care for your skin after the treatment, if required.

What to expect after Treatment

There may be a mild pinkness to the skin immediately following the treatment due to stimulation to the area. This usually will subside within 10-20 minutes. You may have some sensitivity for a couple of days to certain procedures following the treatment such as waxing, electrolysis, and hair dyes, etc. Your skin will be sun-sensitive for up to two weeks so please use sun protection and sunscreen. A course of treatments is advised or to plan for a peel peel once every two to four weeks for up to six treatments for best results. Maintenance treatments would be recommended for once per month thereafter.

Microneedling (skin needling) and MCA (multi trepannic collagen actuation)

Safe and simple treatment for male and female skin targeting

- Wrinkles and lines

- Lack of skin firmness and elasticity

- Scarring, including acne and chickenpox scars

- Undereye bags and circles

- Enlarged pores

- Sun damage

- Pigmentation problems

- Stretch Marks

The concept of collagen induction therapy is based on the skins natural ability to repair itself whenever it encounters physical damage. Immediately after an injury occurs to the skin, the body removes the damaged collagen, elastin and other structures which are then replaced by new components. Skin needling allows for controlled induction of the skin’s self repair mechanism by creating micro injuries which trigger new, stronger collagen synthesis, yet does not pose a risk of permanent scarring. The result is smoother, firmer, younger looking skin and in the treatment of scarring, rejuvenated tissue resulting in the fading of scars. Results can be spectacular.
