Professional Cosmetic Services

Consultations for lines & wrinkles

Many clients come to us with concerns about facial lines or wrinkles. At your appointment, Ryan will conduct a health-practitioner-led consultation: history, examination, and discussion of any treatment options available to you. Whether a treatment is appropriate is a clinical decision and, where the law requires it, depends on assessment and prescription by a medical practitioner. Some clients leave with a treatment plan; others leave with information to consider.

Consultations for facial volume and contour

Some clients ask us about loss of volume in the face as part of natural change over time. At your appointment, Ryan will conduct a health-practitioner-led consultation to understand your concerns and discuss any options that may be appropriate for you. Where treatment options require a prescription, an assessment and prescription by a medical practitioner is part of the pathway.

Pricing

Treatment pricing is discussed during your consultation. Pricing varies based on clinical assessment and the agreed treatment plan, and is provided privately between the practitioner and the patient.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy

Using IPL technology, we deliver a precise amount of light energy to the skin, which means that collagen production is stimulated while causing blood vessels under the skin to contract. This is a treatment that is used to treat a variety of benign skin conditions, such as photo damage, broken capillaries, pigmentation, or other blemishes. Our staff are trained in the most advanced systems for IPL Rejuvenation.

Services start at $299 and vary depending on number of treatment areas.

How does IPL Skin Rejuvenation work?

IPL treatments use targeted Intense Pulse Lights that are specifically designed to rejuvenate and address common skin imperfections. When this light is delivered to the skin, it is absorbed by pigmentation and small vessels, which are heated to the point of destruction. During this treatment, the skin’s collagen and elastin production process is also ignited for firmer skin and a reduced pore size.

What are the benefits of IPL Skin Rejuvenation?

Our IPL Skin Rejuvenation treatments can effectively combat a number of skin concerns including:

Freckles, sunspots and unwanted pigmentation
Acne (the light works to destroy acne-causing bacteria)
Unwanted redness and broken capillaries
Uneven skin tone and texture
Pore size

What happens during my treatment?

All R&D Aesthetics skin treatments begin with a comprehensive consultation where you’ll share your medical history, background and treatment goals. Together, we’ll formulate a treatment plan to achieve your objectives, which may include other treatments and skincare.

To begin your IPL Skin Rejuvenation treatment, a cool gel is applied to the treatment area and protective eyewear is placed over your eyes. Your clinician will apply the IPL handpiece to your skin where you’ll experience bright flashes of light. This will continue until the entire treatment area has been covered. Once your concern has been sufficiently treated, your clinician will remove the excess gel and apply protective SPF.

Generally, IPL Skin Rejuvenation takes 30 minutes to complete depending on the number of areas being treated.

What can be treated with IPL?

IPL can be used to target a number of skin concerns, however, we only use this device for the following as we have other devices which work better for other conditions:

• SHR (Super Hair Removal) – Although we have a laser machine, SHR is great for those who are wanting large areas done such as full legs or back. The treatment is much faster than laser and just as effective. SHR is also great for those who do not tolerate pain well as this treatment is generally well tolerated – most clients feel only a gentle warmth and you will just feel a warm heating of the skin.

• Vascular & Rosacea – Vascular conditions such as red veins can be treated quickly with IPL, flushing from Rosacea can also be managed and reduced.

• Acne Management – Active acne can be quite hard to treat. Often having active acne rules a lot of treatments out, which is why IPL is a great choice. The IPL helps kill bacteria in the skin causing lesions to heal and it also has a healing effect on the overall skin, so it will reduce acne scarring.

• Rejuvenation – There’s nothing quite like IPL for rejuvenation. With minimal downtime, this treatment is fantastic for anyone who wants full face rejuvenation without the price tag of expensive laser treatments and the downtime associated with them.
