What is SkinWave?

SkinWave is an advanced hydradermabrasion treatment that combines an aqua-delivery system, skin revitalising solutions, and hydrogen therapy for a multi-dimensional skincare treatment. This innovative approach both cleanses and rejuvenates skin.

What results can I expect?

After a SkinWave treatment, patients can expect to see a noticeable improvement in skin hydration, texture, and overall tone. The treatment helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, diminishes pores, and enhances skin elasticity. Many report a brighter, more even complexion and a significant reduction in oiliness and acne. The results are typically immediate and can last for several weeks. For sustained improvements, regular sessions are recommended.

What are the potential risks / side effects of this procedure?

SkinWave is generally considered a safe treatment with minimal risk of side effects. However, as with any skin treatment, there are potential risks, albeit minor:

• Slight Redness and Irritation: Some individuals may experience temporary redness or irritation immediately after the treatment, typically subsiding within a few hours.
• Sensitivity: A mild increase in skin sensitivity may occur, especially in individuals with very sensitive skin. This is usually temporary.
• Allergic Reactions: Although rare, allergic reactions to the serums used during the treatment can occur. It is important to discuss any known allergies with your skincare specialist beforehand.

To minimise these risks, it is crucial to have SkinWave treatments performed by a qualified and experienced skincare professional.

How do I prepare for the treatment?

Preparing for a SkinWave treatment is fairly straightforward. In most cases, it will involve the following:

• Schedule a consultation with a skincare professional who will evaluate your skin type and discuss your skincare goals.
• You may want to adjust your skincare routine leading up to the treatment, avoiding products with harsh chemicals or exfoliants.
• Minimise sun exposure and use sunscreen to protect your skin, as this can help reduce sensitivity.
• Ensure you are well-hydrated in the days leading up to your treatment, as hydration is key for optimal skin health.

Following these steps can help maximise the effectiveness of the treatment and ensure your skin is in the best condition for the procedure.

What happens during treatment?

The skin is initially cleansed to remove any makeup or impurities. This is followed by hydrogen therapy, where hydrogen-rich water is used to further purify the skin and provide antioxidant benefits. The next stage involves gentle exfoliation through an aqua-delivery system, which removes dead skin cells and stimulates new cell growth. Customised serums are then infused into the skin using electroporation, enhancing hydration and nourishment. The final step is the use of a contouring roller, which massages the face to promote lymphatic drainage and contouring. Each phase is designed to be relaxing and rejuvenating, with the whole procedure typically taking 30 to 45 minutes.

What should I do after my treatment?

The post-treatment requirements for SkinWave are minimal. However, for the best results, it’s important to follow these guidelines:

• Continue to drink plenty of water to maintain hydration levels.
• Use a high-SPF sunscreen to protect the skin from UV damage, as the skin can be more sensitive post-treatment.
• Use mild, non-irritating skincare products and avoid exfoliating agents for a few days.
• It’s usually recommended to avoid wearing makeup for at least a few hours post-treatment to allow the skin to breathe.
• Adhere to any instructions given by your skincare specialist and schedule follow-up treatments as recommended to maintain the results.
