Dermal Needling is one of the few treatments that actually penetrate the skin down deep into the dermis, where it triggers the body's natural healing response, resulting in a boost of collagen & elastin.
​
* Collagen plumps our skin & elastin helps with the "sag & bag" we all start noticing as we age. 
​
* At Beauty & Elegance I only use the "Genosys" medical grade needling products, which are used in Dermatologists & Plastic Surgeon rooms through New Zealand & overseas. ​
​
*  Reduce fine lines & wrinkles.
​
*  Improve skin tone,  texture &
    pigmentation.
​
*  Diminish scarring.
​
*  Tighten loose ageing skin. 
​
*  All needling sessions are treated 
    with the utmost care along with
    stringent sterilisation
    techniques, to not only ensure
    your safety but to also ensure you
    obtain the best results.

Microdermabrasion has been used for over 30years & is still one of the most sought after treatments in salon's & clinic's all over the world.
 
 
It's a relatively painless treatment with little to no downtime & . 
​
Here at Beauty & Elegance, 
diamond tip heads are used  to exfoliate the clients skin while the attached vacuum system allows the therapist to also perform Lymphatic Drainage as well during the entire process.  This results in the following:
 
*  Helps reduce fine lines 
*  Help smooth the texture of                  minor scars 
*  Helps reduce the look of
    wrinkles and age spots,
*  Makes the skin feel smoother
    and look brighter. 
Prior to treatment: 
**MUST NOT have new permanent makeup or injectables on or near the treatment area. Please ensure you have allowed adequate time (at least 2 weeks) since injectables or permanent makeup for the areas to heal and settle.
**USE SUNSCREEN with an SPF of at least 30 daily. Excessively tanned or burned skin cannot be treated. Sun exposure must be avoided two weeks prior to treatment. **
**AVOID any irritants on and around the area, such as any products containing Hydroquinone, bleaching creams, RetinA, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic/salicylic acids or astringents for at least two weeks prior to treatment.
**DO NOT use self-tanning agents for at least two weeks before any treatment. If you have used these products, thoroughly cleanse the area with an abrasive/exfoliating scrub to remove all product two weeks prior to treatment.
**DO NOT pluck or wax the area at least one week prior to Microdermabrasion.
**DO NOT use bleach or “Nair”-type products on the area for two weeks prior to treatment. This can cause irritation and burns to the skin.   

Nano needling is performed using a Microneedling pen - however unlike Microneedling, the usual needle cartridge is swapped out for a Nano Needling cartridge. 
Nano needling cartridges are silicone tipped & are gentler on the skin. This is because Nano Needling only penetrates the skin to a 0.25mm depth & is designed to exfoliate the skin & stimulate cell turnover, rather than to penetrate deep into the dermis as Microneedling does. 
When the silicone tipped pins gently touch the skin, they create thousands of Nano channels, which allow your skincare products to penetrate deeper & have a greater effect on the skin. Within 15 minutes after Nano Needling, the Nano channels close themselves. 
This can be had a full facial treatment to improve product absorption or as an add to any facial to specific areas such as the upper lip or the sides of the eyes etc...
The "Upper Lip" Facial option is a great treat, or add on, for "Smokers Lines" & results are usually seen after 4-6 treatments. 

What is Hydradermabrasion? It basically utilizes the healing powers of oxygen, water & skin care solutions  to leave the skin exfoliated. 
It also leaves your skin  deeply hydrated & drains those nasty toxins that build up in your lymph vessels, along to your lymph nodes for disposal through lymphatic drainage. One more advantage of this facial is the blood circulation is improved & this leads to faster collage production. Beauty & Elegance use the latest Hydradermabrasion Machine which incorporates a 2 step treatment. The first pass uses a lactic acid based fluid to cleanse deep into the skin, the second pass incorporates VitA & VitE to help moisturize & calm sensitive skin or, if you have inflamed skin, the 2nd pass uses aloe-vera & soy extract, green tea extract, cypress leaf extract, etc., to penetrate deep into the skin, restore damaged skin cells, effectively help regeneration, improve skin's immunity, brighten skin tone & bring a luster to the skins surface. 

A facial like no other for ageing skin. Serums are electrically drawn deep into the dermal layer of your skin where they can't usually be reach when simply applying them topically. It is in this dermal layer where these serums can actively excite your collagen & elastin. 

Your body is positively charged (no danger)  while a hydrating serum comprising negatively charged ions is drawn deep into the dermal layer by a negatively charged roller.
Once this serum is infused into your dermal layer it plumps your skin making it feel more hydrated than ever before. 
This is one of my favourite facials.
