SKIN TREATMENT FAQ's

Have a question? Chances are, we’ve been asked before. Here are some FAQ’s

Skin Treatment packages at Calm Waters

Which skin treatment is right for me?

This depends on your skin type and concerns – no two faces are the same, so we won’t be able to make proper recommendations until we have our initial consultation. For all new clients we recommend booking in for the initial appointment. 

How long do the treatments take?

It depends on the treatment – read more about the skin treatment times on our treatments page.  

Is LED light therapy safe?

Absolutely, we wouldn’t use it if it wasn’t! The LED energises the skin cells in a similar way that the sun energises plants through photosynthesis. During LED Light Therapy, low intensity light waves of specific parameters combine with light activated cellular chromophores to increase natural collagen, elasticity and skin thickness, while decreasing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

It’s non-invasive and doesn’t cause any damage to the skin or your overall health. There is no heat, pain, or risk involved.

What is skin needling?

Skin needling also known as CIT (Collagen Induction Therapy) is an advanced treatment that uses very fine medical-grade needles to help break down old scar tissue and stimulate the growth new collagen; resulting in smoother and more youthful looking skin.

It is safe to use on all skin types with minimal downtime.

Other cosmetic benefits- 

skin regeneration 

increase natural collagen formation 

minimise fine lines 

reduce pore size and improve skin texture 

 

I’ve never seen a skin specialist before; what should I expect?

How exciting – don’t be nervous! We’re here to help, free of judgement. We’ll invite you in for an initial treatment customised to your skin and concerns where we will assess your skin, as well as discuss your lifestyle, your skin history, your diet and other factors that may affect your skin. We’ll also chat about your desired results before making a personalised plan to restore your skin to health! 

What will happen to my skin after the treatment?

It will become healthier, of course! The exact post-treatment effects depend on the individual treatment. For more information, visit our treatments page or give us a call. We’ll of course discuss this all in our first consultation, too!
