Hair Removal
IPL Hair Removal
We use the Lumenis M22 IPL machine for hair removal - it's safe and effective and has selective filters to target different hair and skin colours and treatment depths.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology targets melanin - the pigment that gives hair its colour. The darker the hair the more melanin.
The light and heat is absorbed by the melanin and passes down to the hair bulb where it cauterises the blood supply. This procedure is suitable for all skin colours and we can treat all areas of the face and body.
A course of treatments is required to catch the hairs in the active growing stage - usually 5 treatments at 6 weeks apart - a complimentary sixth treatment is given if needed.
A free consultation is necessary prior to treatment
Price on consultation - dependent on area to be treated
Dermaquest™ Treatments
DERMAQUEST™ Peels
The DERMAQUEST™ journey begins by restoring and balancing the skin. A dehydrated, irritated skin will have micro cracks and can often react to strong ingredients so the philosophy is to repair the damage and balance the skin - then treatment with more active ingredients can begin.
DERMAQUEST™ peels are rich in botanical stem cells, peptides and vitamins. These results-driven professional peel formulations are proven to revive and rejuvenate to achieve maximum skin health.

Skin Rejuvenation
IPL Photorejuvenation
Lumenis M22 IPL technology uses light from specific ranges of the light spectrum. Specialised filters can be selected to target pigmentation (melanin), redness, rosacea and broken capillaries (haemoglobin).
Over time, and with exposure to environmental conditions such as sunlight - especially the harsh New Zealand sun - changes occur in the texture of the skin resulting in fine lines and uneven skin tone often with discolourations, brown spots and broken capillaries.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is an effective method of rejuvenating the skin. Light is absorbed by the coloured pigment and capillaries - the pigmentation darkens and naturally exfoliates over a few days, the capillaries are cauterised.
Further benefits come from stimulation of collagen production making the skin appear plumper and delaying further ageing.
As this technology targets the pigment in the skin it is better suited to paler skins. Popular areas to be treated are the face, neck, back of hands and decolletage.
A series of treatments is recommended for the best results - usually 3 to 5 treatments at 4 weekly intervals.

DERMASTAMP™ - Collagen Induction Therapy
We chose the German-made Dermastamp™ for our collagen induction therapy. This is a motor driven system, electronically controlled and engineered to provide a consistent and effective treatment.
Collagen induction is a non-surgical skin regeneration procedure that can significantly improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, aged skin, acne scarring, enlarged pores and stretch marks. This technology works by using fine needles to create micro-channels in the skin to promote stimulation of the natural healing processes and regenerate the skin.
The needle length is adjustable and can be changed easily throughout the procedure to customise the treatment depth for maximum benefit.
The procedure is comfortable as a topical numbing cream is applied prior to treating. Hyaluronic acid is infused into the skin throughout the treatment followed by an intensive hyaluronic and peptide moisture mask for further hydration.
The resulting increase in collagen levels is effective in improving the elasticity, firmness and overall tone of the skin.
Dermastamp™ is suitable for all skin colours.
A series of 3 to 5 treatments with 6 weeks between treatments is usually recommended for maximum benefit.

OMNILUX™ revive Light Therapy
OMNILUX™ is a world leader in light therapy. Initial clinical trials showed the red light emitted by the original Paterson Therapy lamp had a rejuvenating effect on the skin and the medical grade OMNILUX™ revive was developed to utilise this effect. This technology has a strong medical heritage - it was pioneered as a non-invasive alternative to laser.
Cells within the body contain receptors that absorb light naturally - when exposed to red light the cells are stimulated to produce collagen and elastin. Blood flow is also increased helping to de-toxify the skin.
This is a good treatment for tired, dull and stressed skin. It can be used for both the face and body and is suitable for all skin types. It is good too for those who want an alternative to more invasive treatments. Though this light is bright - there are 1700 LED's in the revive head - there is no excessive heat, just a soothing warmth.
A treatment programme of 9 treatments spread over 3 weeks is recommended to get the maximum long-term benefit from this therapy. 20 minutes under the light can be added to other treatments such as microhydrabrasion, photorejuvenation or a peel to soothe and promote natural healing.
Price $100 (30 mins)
Add-on to other treatments $70
Microhydrabrasion
At SKIN SCIENCE we use the hydrabrasion system - chosen for it's gentleness and thoroughness.
Hydrabrasion gives the skin a resurfacing exfoliation and the deepest clean.
It is effective in refining open pores, clearing congestion and reducing oil and breakouts. It also helps with superficial pigmentation and generally improves and brightens skin texture.
It is a two-stage process. The first stage is a dry diamond tip exfoliation combined with a gentle vacuum that clears debris from the pores and reduces the dead skin layer. The second stage is a further exfoliation with a diamond tip combined with distilled water to flush out and deep clean every pore.
Price $120 (45 mins)
IPL Acne Therapy
We use the Lumenis M22 IPL machine to treat acne. It has a dedicated acne filter which uses light from two different wavelengths. The lower wavelength light kills the bacteria on the skin and the higher wavelength penetrates to the sebaceous glands to help destroy the bacteria's environment.
Acne results from over-productive sebaceous glands. The accumulated sebum leads to the multiplication of bacterium P.acnes which is the actual cause of the acne. The colonies of bacteria on the skin produce porphyrin - if light of a specific wavelength is directed on to the skin it is absorbed by the porphyrin causing oxygen to be released which destroys the bacteria.
We can treat acne on the face and on the body.
