Byonik Pulse Triggered Laser

After years of teaching in our Beauty School in Dublin, I devised the Tween Masterclass when I felt Byonik is the world’s first laser which rejuvenates, repairs, and protects your skin from inside the skin cells and is used in combination with hyaluronic acid and antioxidants to help improve numerous skin concerns, for all skin types and colours. Guided by your own pulse, this revolutionary cold laser re-energises and repairs your skin cells, collagen, and elastin to preserve youthfulness; improve signs of ageing skin; reduce redness; promote skin healing; reduce inflammation and deeply hydrate the skin from within the skin cells, not just around them.

Dermalux Light Therapy

Harnessing the beneficial power of light, Dermalux LED uses phototherapy to treat a number of skin concerns such as a dull, dry complexion, redness, acne, scarring and inflammation. With no downtime or discomfort, Dermalux LED uses low levels of light energy at different wavelengths to stimulate cellular processes. Your aesthetician will select the right light (Red, Blue and Near Infra-Red) and/or combination of light to treat your skin whilst you lie back and relax. A course of treatments is recommended for long-lasting results.

Radio Frequency

Radio Frequency is a very safe painless way of using heat to stimulate collagen and elastin within the skin. A water-based gel is applied, and the applicator is passed over the treatment area to gently heat the skin and trigger the production of new collagen and elastin. Benefits of radio frequency treatment include tighter, smoother, and plumper skin, a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles and a more youthful glow. With no downtime or pain, radio frequency will give an instant lifting and plumping effect, with a course of treatments recommended for long lasting results.

Medical Microneedling

Medical microneedling or collagen induction therapy, as it is also known is scientifically proven to regenerate dermal cells, resulting in healthier, smoother, younger looking, more resilient skin. Using very small, sterilised needles to create small, microscopic channels within the upper layers of the dermis, needling results in a natural regeneration and healing response. In aesthetics it is used to rejuvenate the skin as it triggers the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in a more youthful looking appearance. It also allows for the deep penetration of professional serums packed with peptides, actives, and hydrating actives to target cell renewal and repair the areas within the dermis where they can be most effective.

High Frequency

High Frequency treatment is very beneficial for acne prone skin as it helps reduce bacteria on the surface of the skin. The treatment is very comfortable, and the high frequency current produces a germicidal effect whilst stimulating localised blood flow, encouraging the delivery of nutrients to the skin. This is a very comfortable treatment with. No downtime.

Chemical Peels

Peels use gentle chemicals to remove the outermost layers of the skin, revealing the more youthful, glowing skin beneath. Depending on your desired outcome, a specific peel will be applied directly to the face for a short period of time to allow the breakdown of dead skin cells and resurfacing to occur. Your peel will be selected after a full consultation and your skin may feel tighter immediately after the procedure. Downtime is minimal to zero depending on what peel is applied and the results are subtle yet noticeable, leaving you with more even-toned skin, a reduction in pigmentation and brown spots, less visible pores, and less redness.
