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.

The Geneo Treatment system is the ultimate platform for achieving firmer, fresher & naturally healthier-looking skin and visible results. This therapy stimulates natural skin oxygenation, leading to immediately noticeable, youthful, rejuvenated skin and a radiant glow.
When our body sends oxygen to the skin from within, it is far more effective and long lasting than external oxygenation, meaning, much higher levels of skin oxygenation.
Treatments involving combinations of body areas are calculated at time of your health assessment.
Geneo™ treatments generate an abundance of CO2 bubbles that permeate the upper skin layer to remove dead cells, open clogged pores, smooth the surface and renew the skin.
Geneo™ treatments nourish the skin with nutrients, vitamins and other active ingredients which keep it healthy and glowing for the long term.
The 4-in-1 Super Skin makeover is an innovative treatment that provides three actions in one:
EXFOLIATION , OXYGENATION of the skin & plus NOURISHMENT with pure active ingredients which lift and plump with Tripolar radio frequency. Natural oxygenation during treatment produces an abundance of CO2 bubbles on the skin. The CO2 draws oxygen from within the body, resulting in immediate & long-term skin oxygenation.
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.
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.
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.

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.
