The machines and regenerative treatments that change skin quality itself, from collagen stimulation to resurfacing. Our salon is on 3 Prospect Street in Caversham, five minutes from Reading town centre.
Skin technology is the group of treatments that change skin quality itself rather than adding volume or relaxing muscle. They work by prompting your own repair: controlled injury from needling, heat from Tixel, focused ultrasound from HIFU, acid from a peel, or regenerative injectables like polynucleotides and Profhilo. Almost all of them work over a course rather than a single appointment, because collagen is laid down on your body's timeline and not on ours.
The common thread across these seventeen treatments is that they ask the skin to rebuild rather than doing the rebuilding for it. That has two consequences worth understanding before you book. The first is that results arrive slowly, usually peaking somewhere between six weeks and three months, so anyone promising a visible change tomorrow is describing something else. The second is that most of them work best as a course, with each session building on the last.
Choosing between them comes down to which layer needs work. Surface texture and dullness respond to exfoliation and resurfacing. Scarring and lines need collagen rebuilt in the dermis. Laxity needs energy delivered beneath the surface of the skin. Getting that wrong is how people spend money on the right treatment for somebody else's problem.

Where to start
You do not have to know the treatment name. Find the situation that sounds like yours.
That is surface. Removing the dead layer changes how skin reflects light immediately, which is why dermaplaning is so popular before an event. No downtime and you see it the same day.
That needs collagen rebuilt underneath. SkinPen microneedling with Bianca can be considered for the appearance of acne scarring, and several sessions may be advised.
Focused ultrasound works beneath the skin and may help mild to moderate laxity. Results build gradually over the following months rather than appearing at once.
Profhilo is an injectable used to improve hydration and aspects of skin quality, rather than to fill. Results build gradually and vary.
Inflammation first. Light therapy calms it without downtime and makes everything else more tolerable, then peels clear the congestion underneath.
Pigment needs the right diagnosis before treatment, because melasma and sun damage respond to opposite levels of aggression. We assess before we choose a depth.

The standard we work to
The assessment matters as much as the device. Depth on a peel is chosen for your skin type rather than taken off a chart, because the wrong depth on darker skin causes exactly the pigmentation people come in to treat. How many sessions you need is discussed at your consultation and depends on how your skin responds.
It depends on the treatment and your skin. Many work best as a course, and your practitioner will recommend a plan at your consultation.
Dermaplaning and LED have none. Peels flake for a few days. Microneedling leaves you red and warm for about forty-eight hours. We will talk you through it before you book.
Yes, with daily sun protection, which is not an upsell but part of the treatment. Treated skin pigments more easily, so skipping it wastes the course.
With the right depth and an experienced practitioner, yes. The assessment is what makes it safe, which is why we do not let you pick a peel strength off a menu.
Surface treatments the same day. Anything working through collagen takes six weeks to start and around three months to judge properly.
Consultations are free and carry no obligation. We will help you find the treatment that suits you.
