COLLAGEN STIMULATION / REJUVENATION
What is it?
Collagen is a key structural protein responsible for skin firmness, elasticity, and overall tone. From our mid-20s, collagen production naturally declines, contributing to the development of fine lines, wrinkles, thinning skin, and volume loss. Collagen stimulation treatments aim to encourage your body’s natural repair processes, resulting in healthier, firmer skin over time.
Treatment Options
We take a layered approach tailored to your needs, which may include:
- Fractional laser or hybrid laser treatments (e.g. 1570 Alma Hybrid) to resurface and stimulate deeper collagen production
- Non-ablative lasers like Laser Genesis, Revlite q-switch YAG, Clear and brilliant laser, Alma Hybrid for gentle collagen support over multiple sessions
- Topical and oral skincare support, including antioxidants and peptides to optimise skin quality
- LED light therapy and microneedling may be used as adjuncts
All treatments are performed after a consultation with a qualified health practitioner.
Expected outcomes
- Improved skin texture, tone and elasticity
- Gradual, natural-looking results

- Can be used preventatively or correctively
Recovery & Downtime
Downtime varies depending on the treatment method:
- Laser and injectable options may involve mild swelling or redness for 24–72 hours
- Non-invasive options like Laser Genesis have minimal to no downtime
- Ablative Lasers -5/7 days downtime
Treatment Time
Sessions typically take 30–90 minutes, depending on the approach. For optimal results, a series of treatments spaced over time may be recommended.
Risk
All treatments carry some risk, which will be discussed with you during your consultation to ensure that you make a fully informed and balanced decision.
ACNE SCARRING
What is it?
Acne scarring occurs when the skin’s healing response to inflammation leads to changes in texture, such as pitting, rolling scars, or discolouration. It’s a common long-term result of moderate to severe acne.

Precancerous Lesions & Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)
What is it?
Precancerous lesions, such as actinic keratoses, are areas of sun-damaged skin that may have the potential to progress if left untreated. These are often rough, scaly patches commonly found on sun-exposed areas like the face, scalp, chest, and hands.
How does PDT work?
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a targeted approach that uses a light-activated topical product followed by exposure to a specific wavelength of light. The process selectively targets damaged or abnormal cells while preserving surrounding healthy tissue.
All treatments are performed after a consultation with a qualified health practitioner. We recommend that you have regular skin checks by your GP or dermatologist to identify/diagnose any suspicious lesions. We do not offer skin cancer checks but can direct you to the best people.
Expected outcomes
- Non-invasive, no cutting or stitches
- Minimal downtime compared to surgical options
- Targets multiple lesions in one session
- Promotes clearer, healthier skin texture
Recovery & Downtime
Expect redness, swelling, and peeling in the treated areas for a few days. Sun protection is essential during the recovery period. Recovery 7-10 days
Treatment Duration
A typical session may take 60–90 minutes, including preparation, application, and light activation.
Risk
All treatments carry some risk, which will be discussed with you during your consultation to ensure that you make a fully informed and balanced decision.

Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
What is it?
Teeth grinding—also known as bruxism—is a common condition in which individuals unconsciously grind or clench their teeth, often during sleep or periods of stress. Over time, it can lead to jaw discomfort, worn-down teeth, headaches, and even facial muscle tension.
Treatment Options
A tailored treatment approach may involve muscle relaxant treatments to reduce excessive muscle activity in the jaw. A qualified healthcare professional performs these and aim to ease the force and frequency of clenching. Supportive therapies may also include stress management, splints or guards (fitted by a dental professional), and jaw physiotherapy.
All treatments are performed after a consultation with a qualified health practitioner.
Expected Outcomes
- May reduce jaw tension and discomfort

WHAT IS PLANTAR FASCIITIS?
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It involves inflammation or irritation of the plantar fascia — the thick band of connective tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot, supporting the arch and absorbing shock with each step.
Common Symptoms
- Sharp or stabbing heel pain, especially with the first steps in the morning
- Pain after prolonged standing or getting up after sitting
- Tightness or tenderness through the arch of the foot
Treatment Options
Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and restoring flexibility and strength.
Conservative Approaches first line with podiatrist
- Footwear & Orthotics: Supportive shoes and custom orthotics can reduce pressure and improve foot mechanics.
- Rest & Ice: Reduces inflammation and gives the tissue time to heal.
- Stretching & Strengthening Exercises: Target the calf muscles, Achilles tendon, and plantar fascia to relieve tension.
- Massage Therapy or Rolling: Using a massage ball or frozen water bottle under the foot can help release tight tissue.
- Taping or Strapping: Offloads tension from the plantar fascia temporarily.
Medical Interventions
- Low Level laser – Laser Genesis 3 treatments 2 to 4 weeks apart
Treatment Time & Recovery
- Most people improve with conservative care within 6 to 12 weeks.
