Acne
Acne is considered an obstructive disorder of the skin and can be caused by any number of factors.
Ageing Skin
The natural ageing process plays a key role in the appearance of our skin over time.
Broken or Dilated Capillaries
These tiny, reddish blemishes occur when the capillary walls expand and contract too quickly.
Blackheads
Commonly misunderstood, and therefore mistreated, blackheads are in fact a form of acne.
Double Chin
Sitting just underneath the jawline, submental fat, or double chin, is usually caused by ageing, genetics or weight gain.
Dry Skin
Whether it’s caused by an underling skin condition, ageing or other factors, having dry skin is an incredibly common concern.
Excessive Sweating
Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) is a condition most commonly seen on the soles of the feet, palms and underarms.
Excessive or Unwanted Hair
If you have excessive hair on any part of your body, or your simply prefer to be silky-smooth, we have treatments that can help.
Facial Volume Loss
As skin fibres start to break down and the skin loses its support system, lines and wrinkles can become a permanent feature.
Lines and Wrinkles
Crows Feet or dynamic lines are caused by movement of the facial muscles whilst static lines are caused by a combination of aging and sun damage or weight loss.
Loose and Sagging Skin
Loose or sagging skin can be a major problem as we age. Somehow our skin just doesn’t bounce back like it used to!
Melasma
There are many factors that can cause abnormal pigment in the skin. One of the most common is melasma (or chloasma).
Open Pores
Open pores are usually the result of ageing and loss of elastin in the skin, which causes the skin structure around the pore to open more widely.
Pigmentation
As soon as we are exposed to sunshine, we begin to see the emergence of freckles and a darkening of the skin (a sun tan).
Redness and Rosacea
Redness and rosacea are common conditions and often caused by dilated capillaries, resulting in an appearance of general redness.
Scarring
The four main types of scars are acne scars, hypertrophic scars, contracture scars and keloid scars.
Shaving Rash
Shaving rash is an itchy and uncomfortable side effect of shaving. The solution? Laser hair removal.
Smile Lines
At some time or other we all end up with deeper lines that run from the sides of our nose to the corners of our mouth.
Sun Damage
Sun damaged skin is simply a fact of life when living in the wonderful climate of Australia. Fortunately, there are treatments that can help.
Stretch Marks
Stretch marks, or striae, occur after a period of intense growth where the skin is stretched rapidly – such as pregnancy or adolescence.
Teeth Grinding
Sufferers from teeth grinding (particularly while asleep) can wake-up with sore teeth or an aching jaw.
Thinning or Uneven Lips
Sadly as we age, our gums and bones recede causing our top lip to drop, turn inward and look thinner.
Under-Eye Bags
The eye contour has the thinnest and most sensitive skin on the entire face – lacking in the all-important elements that give our skin the plump, healthy glow.
