Tell-tale signs of ageing

Taking good care of your facial skin? Great. How about the backs of your hands?
One of the first places to give away the secret of your age.

The very least thing you can do is be religious about applying sunscreen - not just when you are outdoors in the sun, but when you are driving the car as well. Did you know that the right hand side of the face always has more sun damage than the left due to the UV exposure when driving? And what is resting on the top of the steering wheel getting a full UV blast....?

Microdermabrasion is a process that refines the skin through exfoliating the dry, dull surface layer of the skin through gently abrading with crystals combined with suction. It also stimulates collagen production and has a double anti-ageing benefit. It is great for the face, but also decollete and backs of hands.

Special Offer: Purchase a course of 3 microdermabrasion treatments for your face for $249 and we will treat your hands for free. Microdermabrasion exfoliates the surface layer of the skin, revealing a softer new complexion. Valid to 31 August 2010.

Get Buffed! Hot salt body scrub and back massage

Is your winter skin looking more alligator than baby soft? Spring is JUST around the corner and so why not give your body a little TLC in anticipation of bare legs and smooth summer skin. Our aromatherapy oil infused hot salt scrub will buff and soften your skin, ready for a relaxing back massage to deal with knots, stress and tension. Just $99 or if you add it to a one hour facial just $79.

Valid to 31 August 2010.

What's New? Micro Needling

Needles - not the thing most of us love the sound of.... Try Micro-Needles. And really, they are more like micro-spikes than needles.

Who's it for? Anyone that has concerns about the appearance of scars, fine lines, open pores and even stretch marks on the body.

How does it work? This new treatment involves a personal roller with 200 sterilised tiny needles that we gently roll onto the skin to produce Micro channels. This then creates a reaction underneath the skin's surface, thereby producing more collagen. The skin plumps and thickens in response to this. Product penetration is more efficient and is increased by 70% after using the roller.

How much? How many? We get you to purchase your roller ($149), and then we seal it and store it for you at the spa, available just for you and your treatments. Treatments are $149 and take 30 minutes - for best results treatments are conducted every 2 weeks for a course of 6 treatments.

Special Offer: Purchase your roller and have a treatment and we will give you a complimentary Lumiere anti-ageing treatment following your Micro-Needling treatment valued at $98. Available now at Auckland spas - Wellington/Ngaio coming soon.

IPL - if you don't like waxing or shaving, you should read this

By now lots of people have heard the term IPL, and that it has to do with hair removal, but not necessarily just how GREAT it is!

Here is IPL in a nutshell:

  • It is a permanent method of hair reduction, using Intense Pulsed Light
  • Treatments are quick for small areas like bikini, underarms, chin, taking less than 15 minutes
  • Most people need 5-8 treatments but it can be less or more depending on your hair growth
  • It stings a little but is bearable - most of our clients who start with one area do additional areas as they are so pleased with the results
  • Fantastic for anyone with ingrown hairs
  • Imagine being smooth without the hassle
  • While the per treatment costs are more than waxing, if you consider that you may only need one touch up treatment every year or two, in the long run it is very economical

Special offer: Prepay 5 treatments and receive 25% discount

Prepay price: 5 Underarm treatments $375; 5 bikini treatments $484; 5 chin treatments $375
