Let the pampering begin!
1. Dermapen Micro-needling
Dermapen micro-needling is a skin renewal procedure that treats a variety of conditions. Conradie explains that they use the Dermapen 4, a medical micro-needling device. “The Dermapen 4 glides across the skin, creating millions of fine, fractional channels 104% faster than other micro-needling pens”, she adds. According to Conradie, micro-injuries initiate a natural repair process that increases collagen and elastin production while visibly improving skin conditions such as acne, aging skin, stretch marks, scars, pigmentation, and enlarged pores.
2. Radio Frequency
Rondebosch Aesthetics offers radio frequency skin tightening treatments for the face and neck. "In this treatment, we use an electromagnetic device that generates heat to stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and new skin cells," says Dr Asmal. "This nonsurgical facelift firming and lifting sagging skin requires 6 to 10 treatments every four weeks," she adds.

3. LED Light Therapy
LED light therapy is a skincare treatment that uses varying wavelengths of light, including red, blue and green to help treat skin issues says Dr. Asmal. Here she explains how each light colour penetrates the skin at different depths: - Red light is said to have anti-aging and collagen-boosting properties. Blue light is antibacterial and aids in the healing of acne and scarring. Green light soothes and brightens rosacea-prone skin while also helping to lighten pigmentation.
4. Chemical Peel
Dr. Asmal recommends chemical peels if you want to reduce fine lines around the eyes and mouth. "It also helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles caused by sun damage and aging." A very thin layer of your skin's top layer peels away during this treatment, revealing a clearer layer of skin”. According to Dr. Asmal, the treatment is available in a variety of mild to intense peeling sessions that can be tailored to your specific needs. It also reduces age spots and dark patches caused by pregnancy or birth control pills, she adds.
5. Melanoff Pigmentation Peel
Melan Off Depigmentation Treatment is a topical whitening procedure used for the elimination and reduction of all types of hyperpigmentation says Dr Asmal. "It's a quick, safe, and effective treatment that brightens the skin, evens out the skin tone, and restores elasticity'“.
