Jennifer Harris is an experienced registered nurse specialising is skin aesthetics, who will guide you through suitability for this treatment. At the Health and Wellness Centre, we consider your face is a marvellous organic creation which is designed to work harmoniously as one unit. A full facial includes neck, forehead, eyebrow, inferior palpebra (under eye area), check and chin is recommended. This is a wholistic and complete healthcare approach to the “HIFU non-surgical face lift” procedure to ensure best results. Spa outlets which deliver partial facial area treatments and reduced shot delivery procedures, extend treatments and fail to produce optimal results.

The feeling experienced by the person receiving the treatment, is a momentary stinging twinge or heat sensation. Skin temperature levels during a HIFU treatment rise to between 65-70 degrees. Generally, it is well tolerated. Heat insulating gel is applied to the skin treatment areas prior to treating and is easily removed after the procedure. Using less energy and lower heat settings to reduce any discomfort, will reduce the clinical result and vary the outcomes. In other words, there is no gain to be made without momentary pain.

High Frequency Ultrasound skin tightening is generally considered a safe and effective procedure with few risks or side effects. However, as with any medical procedure, there is a small risk of complications such as swelling, bruising  or skin irritation. These side effects are usually temporary and resolve on their own within a few days.

A comprehensive health assessment is necessary to inform the aesthetician of your personal health or allergies. A treatment plan for your specific skin care needs will be made for you at the clinic. You are advised to avoid skincare creams containing retinoids and sun exposure (either artificial tanning or sunlight tanning) 30 days prior to the procedure. Depending on your genetic makeup and general health plus the  efficacy and  dedication to a prescriptive daily skincare regime, a repeat treatment would be only be advised according to your personal preference and skin health requirements. 

uses High Frequency Ultrasound (7 D HIFU) and Micro and Macro Focused Ultra-sound (MMFU).

There are several clinical trials have found HIFU and MMFU a very effective method for facial lifting and refining wrinkles. People see immediate results and further improvements a few months after treatment.

60 minutes for each session delivers 2000 + shots depending on individual requirements.  A second treatment should not be necessary as results last from 1.5 to 2 years depending on your genetic makeup and general health efficacy of your dedication to a prescriptive daily skincare regime. A repeat treatment would be advised according to your personal preference and skin health requirements.

  • Avoid excessive sun exposure & protect your skin from the sun.
  • Don’t expect immediate miracles, and say no to Exfoliants and harsh products
  • An uncomfortable feeling during treatment tolerable by most people.

Benefits of Ultrasound Facial Therapy

Ultrasound Facial therapy is a nourishing, pro-ageing facial treatment step, and an add-on to the deep-cleansing facial, as well as microdermabrasion treatment.It is one of the most comprehensive methods in the 21st century to supply the skin with active agents.

How does ultrasound facial therapy work?
  • During an ultrasound (also known as ultrasonic) facial, high level sound wave technology is used to penetrate deep below the surface of the skin.
  • This facial therapy promotes cellular renewal and repair, tones facial muscles, increases blood circulation, encourages lymphatic drainage, combats puffiness and swelling and improves skin care product penetration.
  • Facilitates both water and fat-soluble active substances to more easily enter the skin.
  • Applying ultrasound, intensifies skin metabolic processes, to increase nutrients and oxygen supply of the cells therefore the skin becomes tighter and youthfully elastic.
  • The heat generated during ultrasonic treatment increases blood flow, nutrient and oxygen supply to cells.
  • Increased permeability of the cell membrane, resulting in better product penetration into the deeper layers of the skin.
  • Ultrasound therapy acts to boost skin microcirculation and cell metabolism.
  • Results in increased lymph drainage due to the mechanical effect.
  • Normalises acid base balance of dermis and tones muscles.
  • Lines, acne and scars are visibly reduced.

Benefits of Facial Brushing with Routine Skincare Therapy

The purpose of skin brushing is to adjust the nature of the skin to make it smooth and clear the pores. A mechanical facial brush is typically a battery operated, or a handheld device with a bristle head that moves continuously.

Benefits of facial scrubbing or brushing?

The constant pressure features, make facial cleansing more effective than the sleepy soapy facewash that we sometimes resort to late at night or in the early morning. When combined with an effective cleanser, brushes cleanse deep into pores, so you’ll need fewer extractions during your next facial.

So, there are two considerations to think about:-  avoiding soap and frequency of brushing.At Glen Aplin Health & Wellness we use a sterilised “Joiken” brush head device with all manual facials with customer informed consent.

Aesthetics maintain that brushing is essential for puffed and clogged skin because it improves facial circulation and lymphatic drainage.  As a pro-aging practice, exfoliating brushing prepares skin to better absorb hydrating serums.  

Despite the seemingly endless list of benefits, cleansing brushes are not right for everyone. 

Especially never use them to remove makeup as they may push makeup deeper into your pores! So…..Cleanse first.

Used incorrectly it can cause dryness. Exfoliating too aggressively and too often can cause dryness and disrupt the skin’s acid base balance and lipid barrier, which depletes the protective acid mantle and can cause increased oil production. This allows moisture to seep out of the cells more easily, causing them to get dehydrated.

Again, if you’re using a cleansing with a stiff brush or too frequently , can create inflammation—even the kind that’s not visible, because stiff bristles damage delicate capillaries and cause trauma or micro-abrasions. It’s continually setting up a cascade of free radical damage that triggers premature aging.

Which could ultimately result in increased skin discoloration. You must use caution with all physical exfoliants including cleansing brushes, wash cloths, and facial scrubs. For skin that is extremely reactive to stimulation, you need to it gently to avoid post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

  • It removes that top layer of dead skin to improve skin tone.It can be used on both your face and neck, and to stimulate circulation to create firmer skin.
  • The result? Reduced wrinkles, soft, healthier skin and a massaging routine that makes for a relaxing end to your day.
  • Facial brushes are better than anti-aging creams. It works in the same fashion, peeling off dead skin to reveal the youthful glow beneath.
  • So, in a nutshell, facial brushes produce fresh, young skin in the most affordable and natural way possible.
  • Professional aesthetics sterilise equipment between each customer.
  • If you’re using a facial brush at home – don’t use an exfoliant scrub or chemical exfoliant with your brush device.
  • The don’t use it too often. Observe effects on yourself dial up or down as necessary.
  • It’s recommended that you brush your face, along with a cleanser, two days out of the week. If your skin dries out and your skin tone becomes uneven, take it down to just once a week. If you feel this routine isn’t effective, do it three days a week.
  • Listen to your skin.
  • And if you’re using a facial brush at home, DON’T let anyone else use it.
  • The best time to use your facial brush is at night. This way, you remove the slough and environmental pollution from the day.

Hydrafacial

Starting from $90

Using an exfoliating tip paired with suction to remove dead skin cells from the surface of your face.  After skin is exfoliated, serums are infused into the skin.

How Does a Hydrafacial Work Exactly?

This is an instrument which gently moves over  your skin, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer.The aesthetician moves different treatment tips gently over your skin for each stage of the facial. Using an exfoliating tip paired with suction to remove dead skin cells from the surface of your face.  After skin is exfoliated, serums are infused into the skin. There is no pain nor any downtime — a common word for recovery time in dermatology — and the entire treatment can be done in as little as 60 minutes.

This is the resurfacing step, when skin is exfoliated. “Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the outer layer of the skin. It has long been known to have beneficial skin effects, including leaving the skin looking brighter, unclogging pores, increasing collagen production. This generates a fluid vortex over the skin that gently dislodges impurities and dead skin cells.

The tip gets waste matter out of pores and delivers topical moisturizers simultaneously.

Your treatment will finish with natural “boosters,” or serums. These are geared toward your skin goal, which may include reducing the appearance of pigmentation or fine lines and wrinkles, dull skin, or enlarged pores. The treatment is entirely customisable through these “boost” serums.
