Skin Treatments
Microdermabrasion
Medical Microdermabrasion is a non surgical method of rejuvenation by means of mechanical skin exfoliation without using chemicals or a laser. The treatment can be used on the face, chest, back or shoulders. An ideal treatment for anyone who wants to reduce the appearance of fine lines, scars and wrinkles, sun damaged and uneven skin tone, acne prone skin, blackheads, whiteheads, superficial age spots and hyperpigmentation and excessive oiliness or dry skin. How is the treatment performed? A highly controlled flow of medical grade crystals is then passed over the skin using a hand held device. These crystals, delivered at high velocity directly onto the skin’s surface are immediately vacuumed away, taking the top-most layer of dead skin cells with it. This mechanical exfoliation process improves both the tone and texture of the skin and also reveals the new, living skin cells that are soft and smooth. At the same time the underlying epidermis is also stimulated by the treatment, promoting new collagen, thickening the dermis and improving the resistance to the effects of ageing. At the HSJ Clinic we use the Dermagenesis Medical Microdermabrasion which is widely accepted to be the most powerful available thereby producing better, more reproducible results.
Chemical peels
Chemical peels are a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure that offers safe and controlled removal of the outer, dead layers of the skin. There are multiple types of chemicals peels available which differ depending upon their specific ingredients and their strengths. Chemical peels work by damaging the skin cells or breaking the bonds between cells; thus causing the outer layer of skin to be exfoliated. The depth of a chemical peel varies based upon the chemical used, strength of the solution, how long the solution remains on the skin and how heavily or aggressively they are applied. Deeper chemical peels will produce superior results with fewer treatments. However, the deeper the chemical peel, the more discomfort and possible complications. The end effect leaves your skin soft and supple, appearing more youthful, and will have fewer wrinkles and a more even pigmentation. Chemical peeling is truly an art! Chemical peels are used for the treatment of photo ageing (from sun damage), wrinkles, scarring, acne and discoloration including Melasma, freckles, and age spots. Following the consultation we will select the peel that will give you best results. With all types of peel you may need to use specified homecare products to Balance your skin for a minimum of 2 weeks before your treatment, to prepare your skin and so optimise the results. There are many different kinds of peels and each one is performed differently. In general, chemical peels usually begin with vigorous cleansing of the skin and application of appropriate chemical peel. The actual treatment takes approximately 30-40 minutes. A slight burning or stinging sensation may be felt during application but this usually subsides immediately once the solution is removed or neutralised – usually within 2 minutes. How many peels will I need? For Superficial Peels: 4 to 6 treatments (7-14 days apart) are recommended for maximum results. For maintenance: 1 treatment per month. For Medium to Deep Chemical Peels: more than one peel may be needed to achieve the desired result. This will be decided during your free consultation with the doctor.

MesoBioLift & Radiofrequency

Mesobiolift uses endo-thermal energy to firm and decongest the tissues. Its signal synchronises radiofrequency and direct current in order to activate the neogenesis of the skin cells and to penetrate active ingredients. Its action stimulates a control diathermy in deep tissues and at the same time penetrates our recommended active ingredients: argan stem cells, decongestant or firming ingredients. This is one of our most highly recommended treatment for non-invasive rejuvenation and improved skin laxity and firmness. It helps to redefine the face and improve skin quality. After just one session the skin is noticeably tighter and plumper. Anti-ageing Skin firming Improved tone and hydration Smoothed expression lines Redefinition of the oval of the face and neck Drainage and circulation-stimulating Relief of muscles tension The added benefit is that each treatment is extremely relaxing and effective, whilst also including LED Light Therapy to help further improve results.
Microneedling (+PRF)
Also known as Dermapen, dermal and skin needling, microneedling is a minimally-invasive and non-surgical treatment for facial rejuvenation that involves the use of a micro-needling device to create controlled injury to the skin. As each extremely fine needle punctures the skin, it creates a channel or micro-wound which encourages the skin to produce new collagen and elastic in the papillary dermis. To give it an extra boost, this treatment can be combined with our Skinseqnc Exosomes or PRF. Overall, microneedling leads to firmer, more hydrated and rejuvenated looking skin. What conditions can Microneedling treat? General skin laxity and sagging Fine lines and wrinkles Large pores Acne scaring Other scaring (traumatic, chicken pox, etc) Stretch Marks Crow’s feet (side of eyes)
Carbon laser peel

Kobido Lymphatic Drainage
Kobido is a centuries old Japanese facial massage technique that has gained popularity in the recent years for its rejuvenating effects. Dating back to the 15th century, this massage uses a combination of gentle, rhythmic strokes, acupressure, and stretches to stimulate circulation, increases lymphatic drainage, and tone the facial muscles. This helps to improve the complexion, reduce puffiness, and minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Body Treatments
Wood Therapy
Wood therapy is a vigorous body and facial massage technique that uses wooden, handheld tools, such as rolling pins and vacuum-suction cups. The century old Asian massage technique is used to treat the following: Eliminate or reduce cellulite Increase lymphatic circulation and drainage Reduce wrinkles Alleviate stress and tight muscles Reduce swelling and inflammation We use a variety of wooden instruments as well as specific herbal oils to promote lipolysis, a process that breaks down fats in the body. Each session lasts 1 hour and can be combined with the Pressure Therapy suit to further improve results. We recommend a course of 6-10 to see best results, however, benefits can be seen and felt after just 1 session.
EMSculpt
Emsculpt is an FDA-cleared, noninvasive body-sculpting procedure that builds muscle and burns fat. It delivers high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) pulses into the muscle tissue, creating supramaximal muscle contractions that activate more muscle fibers than what you can achieve through exercise alone. This nonsurgical treatment can tighten, tone, and strengthen the large muscle groups of the abdomen and buttocks as well as of smaller body areas, including the upper arms, thighs, and calves. The result is increased muscle definition and reduced circumference.
Ultrasound Cavitation
Ultrasound cavitation is a quick and easy treatment that uses sound waves to flush fat from the body without invasive surgery. How does it work? The low-frequency sound waves burst the fat cells on the treated areas through the use of heat and vibration. The pressure eventually causes the fat cells to liquefy and release their contents into the blood stream. The body then processes these fatty acids through the lymphatic system What areas can be treated? It is most commonly used on the following areas Stomach and flanks Inner thighs Buttocks Arms Is there any downtime? No. Slight redness may appear in the treated areas which subsides are a few hours. How many treatments do i need? We recommend between 6-10 treatments, 2-3 days apart to achieve optimum results. The exact number treatments needed varies due to age, weight and the different target areas. Is the treatment invasive or painful? No. It is neither invasive nor painful.
