I have a lot of clients ask me how to get rid of skin tags?

Skin tags are extremely common and are just benign skin legions composed of normal skin tissue! They are not a sign of cancer, so they aren’t a source of medical concern and are generally very easy to remove. In saying this it is still very important to get any growth checked! Before any skin tag removal you must have the growth checked and cleared by a medical professional!

BUT WHAT EXACTLY ARE SKIN TAGS?
Skin tags are extremely common and completely benign fleshy overgrowths of the skin. While not dangerous at all, they are often cosmetically bothersome especially if located in an obvious location like the face or neck.

WHO CAN GET SKIN TAGS?
Anyone can get skin tags but they are much more common in adults and occur more frequently in areas of friction including the armpits, groin folds, inner thighs, and around the neck, as well as on the face, around the eyes, and under the breast. Skin tags, comprised of extra skin and fat, have a genetic component to them, and people whose parents had them are more likely to get them themselves. Obesity and pregnancy might contribute to the development of skin tags, as well.

DO I HAVE TO REMOVE THEM?
No you don't have to remove them if they don't aesthetically bother you however, they do grow, they can actually twist on themselves at the base of the stalk where they're attached to the skin, causing redness and pain. Skin tags can rub against clothing or get caught on jewelry, and then they can get really irritated and inflamed. Some people's skin tags even bleed, as they often form in areas of friction like the neck, under the arms, thighs, and even around the eyelids.

LAST MINUTE GIFT IDEAS

BEFORE THE PROCEDURE
For 1 to 2 days before the procedure, you’ll need to avoid alcohol and blood thinners like aspirin, which can make swelling worse.

DURING THE PROCEDURE
Here are a few things to know about the lip flip procedure itself:

• It should take only around 10 minutes.
• The nurse won’t numb your lips beforehand, because the procedure isn’t very painful. Some people have compared it to the sensation of having a pimple on your lip.
• The doctor will inject the anti-wrinkle into the center and corners of your upper lip.
  

AFTER THE PROCEDURE
Following a lip flip, you’ll be able to resume most daily activities, though your upper lip may feel slightly numb and look slightly swollen. Here are some post-procedure tips:

• Avoid smoking in the days after the procedure because it may increase the risk of infection.
• Keep from rubbing or massaging your lips, which can cause the product to spread.
• Try to sleep on your back for a few days so your lips don’t press against your pillow.

Skin care products are made to treat different skin types such as normal, oily, combination, or dry skins. But figuring out what your skin type is can be so confusing, right?
Here's a quick and easy way to work out your skin type from the comfort of your home... 

You have dry skin.

You have oily skin.

You have normal skin.

This means you have combination skin.

Well, we could say it's the "Microblading alternative" taking over Sydney that fills in gaps and gives brows the illusion of fullness and growth in a fast, noninvasive way ...AND a great "non permanent way" to test if Microblading is for you!

An innovative technique called brow lamination originated in Russia, and it's quickly making its way to the land down under. You may have noticed pictures of full, slicked-up brows with a high-shine finish taking over your Instagram page. Well, that's brow lamination. It's more or less semi-permanent soap brows.

So Glamorous brow experts, can't get enough of the dramatic results it creates. Brow lamination can quickly give you the arches of your favorite celebrity, no matter what state your brows are in. Also, if you scroll through the 623,000-plus posts with the hashtag #browlamination, you will find an archive of lamination styles from around the world!

Brow lamination takes your unruly or thinning brow hair and smoothes it out while also lifting the hair in a more vertical direction. The end result is super smooth brows that look like you have brow gel on them.

With brow lamination, we can raise a client's arch, extend their tails, give them a fuller brow by lifting the brow hair or give them a messy, fluffy brow.

The in salon treatment process starts off by:
//  brushing and gluing the brow hairs so that they are straight and lifted.
//  Then we apply the straightening solution onto the brow, which creates a chemical process that breaks down bonds in each hair, allowing them to be fixed into their new shape.
//  Next, the brow hairs are neutralised and safely set into their new shape.
//  From here, the brows may be tweezed, waxed, or tinted, depending on the look you're going for...

Then a nourishing oil is added to the brows to replenish their moisture after the chemical treatment process.

Brow Lamination is an hour treatment costing $95

Although you can expect your laminated brows to last up to two months, you can prolong the look with a clear brow wax, like the PONi Zebra Brow Gel which we conveniently sell in store and online.

I spent the weekend out in the wind watching my nieces play their netball grand finals!
I didn't realise at the time that I was getting wind burn but I certainly feel it now!

My skin is feeling dry, a little bit flakey and slightly sore to touch like mild sunburn... and overall its just not a good look!

So if this sounds like you... HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW...

Skin Needling is a procedure that uses a bunch of tiny needles to puncture the very first layer of skin. This process works to rejuvenate your skin by boosting collagen production, which in turn reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and elevates the overall texture of your skin.

We can select the exact depth best for your skin type and condition and use robotic precision delivery to go as deep as 3 millimeters at 0.1-millimeter increments—no other device can. We incorporate LED Light with our skin needling treatments:
BLUE light is helpful for those who suffer from acne, as the light and heat target bacteria that cause breakouts and
RED light increases cell production and restores cell function.

• Enhances texture of skin
• Stimulates collagen production
• Can help reduce scars and hyperpigmentation
• Can reduce the appearance of wrinkles

The biggest benefit of Skin Needling is its ability to radically enhance the texture of your skin. "Skin-Needling is a collagen-stimulating treatment great for general skin rejuvenation. It treats textural issues dealing with pores, acne scars, wrinkles, tightening sagging skin, and more,"

If you're using any intense topical treatments (such as those containing Retinol), stop using a few days before your treatment and 3 days post treatment!
Avoid direct sun exposure for about three days prior and three days following and ensure you wear your sunscreen!

THE NUMBER 1 QUESTION: Does it hurt?
In short, it is a little uncomfortable but NO it doesnt hurt.
After a deep cleanse, and thorough exfoliation we activate your skin cells under the LED Light, then a DERMAPEN full of micro needles continuously puncture your skin causing thousands of micro punctures causing deliberate micro trauma to the skin which will trigger the skins repair response which is.... COLLAGEN BUILDING!
Your forehead, hairline, and jawline will feel more sensitive than other areas. You will barely felt the needles pass over your cheeks, which is the deepest level of depth. 
After the needling, the procedure is followed with a soothing serum and hyaluronic face mask that will feel like heaven.

The great thing about this treatment is there's really no significant downtime. Immediately after your skin will appear slightly red - like mild sun burn but really, it's a no-downtime kind of treatment, so most people leave here a little bit red. A couple of hours later, you're pretty much back to normal, and the next day, you can resume your normal skincare (excluding actives) and normal activities.

Your topical products will penetrate even deeper after needling so, active ingredients will be working there magic at a deeper level. You will see major changes in the appearance of your skin tone and texture!

LED light therapy is a highly effective way to achieve total facial rejuvenation. Unlike intense pulsed light (IPL) and lasers that rely on thermal injury, LED light therapy delivers light emitting diodes, which do not produce any heat. The device delivers this light in precise wavelengths over the skin to regenerate, repair and heal.
The device uses three key forms of light that work to treat a range of skin concerns and conditions:    

This light works to stimulate cellular activity. Blood flow increases, leading to greater tissue oxygenation and detoxification. Post-treatment, your skin will appear clearer with less fine line. It will also look and feel more plump and hydrated.

The yellow light stimulates more deeply, leading to a softening of fine lines and improvement of skin tone and texture. This treatment can be combined with cosmetic injectables, chemical peels and other popular treatments to help repair the skin.

This light is great for treating acne-prone skin. Acne results from an obstruction, congestion and inflammation of hair follicles. The key bacteria responsible for the inflammation produces natural chemicals which are sensitive to light at different wavelengths. When stimulated by the blue light, these chemicals will neutralise the bacteria and as a result, the inflammation will subside.
