Rejuran is a polynucleotide (PN) injectable treatment derived from salmon DNA. It is administered via fine injections into the skin and is used to address a range of skin quality concerns.

What it may assist with:

• Skin texture and surface irregularities

• Skin hydration and quality

• Fine lines and skin laxity

• General skin health

What to expect: Treatment involves a series of small injections across the treatment area. A topical anaesthetic is applied prior to the procedure to support comfort. Sessions typically take 30 to 60 minutes.

How many treatments are needed: A course of 3 sessions is generally recommended, spaced 4 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments may be discussed at follow-up. Individual treatment plans are determined at consultation.

Aftercare:

• Avoid touching or applying pressure to the treated area for 24 hours

• Avoid makeup for 24 hours following treatment

• Avoid strenuous exercise, heat exposure and swimming for 48 hours

• Use gentle skincare and broad spectrum SPF daily

Risks and considerations: As with any injectable treatment, risks include redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness and temporary discomfort at the injection sites. Less common risks include infection, allergic reaction and skin irregularities. All risks are discussed in full at your consultation.

Is it right for me? Suitability is assessed at consultation. Rejuran is not appropriate for everyone and your practitioner will discuss your medical history, skin concerns and goals before recommending any treatment.

Exosome therapy is an advanced treatment option that uses exosome-based preparations applied to or administered into the skin. It is often used in conjunction with other skin treatments and is discussed in full at consultation.

What it may assist with:

• Skin quality and texture

• Skin recovery following other procedures

• General skin health concerns

What to expect: Treatment method and process varies depending on how exosomes are applied or administered. Your practitioner will explain the full procedure, including preparation, the treatment itself and what to expect in the days following.

How many treatments are needed: The number of sessions recommended varies depending on the individual and the concerns being addressed. This is discussed and agreed upon at consultation. Exosomes are also commonly used as an add-on to other treatments.

Aftercare:

• Avoid touching the treated area for 24 hours

• Avoid makeup, active skincare ingredients and swimming for 24 to 48 hours

• Avoid strenuous exercise and heat exposure for 48 hours

• Apply broad spectrum SPF daily and avoid direct sun exposure

Risks and considerations: Risks depend on the method of application and may include redness, swelling, sensitivity and temporary skin reaction. As with any skin treatment, infection and unexpected skin response are possible. All risks are discussed in full prior to proceeding.

Is it right for me? Suitability is assessed on an individual basis. Your practitioner will conduct a full skin assessment and discuss whether exosome therapy is an appropriate option for your concerns and skin type.

Skin Needling

Skin needling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a procedure that uses a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-channels across the surface of the skin.

What it may assist with:

• Skin texture and surface irregularities

• Acne scarring and post-inflammatory marks

• General skin quality and hydration

• Fine lines and skin laxity

What to expect: A topical anaesthetic is applied prior to treatment to support comfort. The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the area being treated. Redness and sensitivity in the days following treatment is normal and expected.

How many treatments are needed: A course of 3 to 6 sessions is generally recommended, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The number of sessions required depends on the concern being addressed and is discussed at consultation. Maintenance treatments may be recommended ongoing.

Aftercare:

• Avoid touching, rubbing or applying pressure to the treated area for 24 hours

• Avoid makeup and active skincare ingredients such as retinol, AHAs and BHAs for at least 48 hours

• Avoid strenuous exercise, swimming, saunas and heat exposure for 48 hours

• Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser and broad spectrum SPF daily

• Avoid direct sun exposure for a minimum of 2 weeks following treatment

• Peeling and redness in the days following treatment is normal and should not be picked or forced

• Your practitioner will provide a full aftercare plan at your appointment

Risks and considerations: Common side effects include redness, swelling, sensitivity, peeling and temporary skin irritation. Less common risks include infection, post-inflammatory pigmentation, prolonged redness and scarring. Those with certain skin conditions, active acne or a history of keloid scarring may not be suitable candidates. All risks and contraindications are discussed at consultation.

Is it right for me? Skin needling is not suitable for everyone. Your practitioner will conduct a thorough skin assessment and review your medical history before recommending this treatment.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are professional skin treatments that use exfoliating agents applied to the skin to address a range of surface and deeper skin concerns. Peel type and strength are selected based on your individual skin assessment.

What it may assist with:

• Pigmentation and uneven skin tone

• Acne, congestion and post-acne marks

• Skin texture and surface irregularities

• Skin dullness and general skin quality

• Rosacea and skin sensitivity (select peel types only)

What to expect: Treatment involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which is left for a specified time before being neutralised or removed. Depending on the peel type, you may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation during the procedure. Some peeling, redness and sensitivity in the days following is normal and varies depending on the peel strength selected.

How many treatments are needed: This depends on the peel type and the concern being addressed. Lighter peels may be recommended as a course of 4 to 6 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. Deeper peels may require fewer sessions with longer recovery periods in between. Your practitioner will recommend a plan suited to your skin at consultation.

Aftercare:

• Do not pick, rub or force any peeling skin

• Avoid makeup for 24 hours or as directed by your practitioner

• Avoid active skincare ingredients including retinol, AHAs and BHAs until the skin has fully settled

• Avoid strenuous exercise, swimming, saunas and heat exposure for 48 hours

• Apply broad spectrum SPF daily and avoid direct sun exposure for a minimum of 2 weeks

• Keep the skin well moisturised with a gentle, fragrance-free product during the recovery period

• Your practitioner will provide specific aftercare instructions based on the peel used

Risks and considerations: Risks include redness, peeling, dryness, sensitivity to sun exposure and temporary changes in skin tone. Less common risks include post-inflammatory pigmentation, infection, prolonged irritation and scarring. Stronger peels carry greater risk and require a longer recovery period. Chemical peels are not appropriate for all skin types or tones and contraindications are assessed at consultation.

Is it right for me? Peel selection is entirely based on your skin type, concerns and assessment findings. Your practitioner will discuss the most appropriate option for you, including alternatives, and will not proceed without your informed consent.
