SKIN HEALTH & TREATMENTS

Our microdermabrasion treatment combines a diamond tip, water and controlled suction to exfoliate dead skin cells and surface debris, helping reveal smoother, cleaner and more refreshed-looking skin. It may assist with dullness, rough texture, congestion and uneven-looking skin tone and can be customised for different skin types.

Mild pinkness may occur after treatment and usually settles within a few hours. For enhanced results, microdermabrasion can be combined with a customised mask or professional peel selected to suit your skin.

Venus skin tightening utilises both radio frequency and PEMF. Radiofrequency works by selectively heating the tissue, from this heat our old unorganised collagen begins to breakdown leading the body to instigating a new refreshed bed of collagen. This allows the skin to feel instantly tighter, plumper and more rejuvenated. Radio frequency can be utilised on almost all areas of the body including face, arms, décolletage, legs, stomach and even back. For ultimate results we recommend weekly treatments for 6 weeks followed by maintenance as recommended by your clinician.

Venus Nano-Fractional Radiofrequency (RF) skin resurfacing is a non-invasive cosmetic skin treatment that employs controlled radiofrequency energy to rejuvenate the skin. This technique utilizes nanofractional technology, delivering RF energy in microscopic zones to stimulate collagen production and address skin concerns such as wrinkles and uneven tone. The procedure involves a handheld device with tiny pins or electrodes, creating controlled micro-injuries to trigger the skin's natural healing response. The benefits include improved skin elasticity and texture, with minimal downtime and temporary side effects like redness and swelling. The number of sessions required varies based on individual needs, and consulting with a skincare professional can help determine the suitability of this treatment for specific skin types and conditions.

Also known as collagen induction therapy this treatment utilises micro needles to stimulate your body's own healing process to promote collagen production and cell renewal. This treatment is suitable for all skin types and will treat concerns such as scarring, premature aging, pigmentation and overall skin rejuvenation. You can expect downtime of 24-48 hours after this treatment.

Intense Pulsed Light is a light-based treatment used to selectively treat pigmented and vascular lesions leaving a brighter clearer skin. A great option for treating vessels, sun damage including freckles and brown spots. Most IPL treatment plans may require up to six treatments depending on client concern. Sessions are performed every four weeks and a prescription skincare regimen to match is recommended. Upon treating any sun damage a full skin check is required by a professional.

IPL hair reduction uses Intense Pulsed Light to selectively heat and alter the hair follicle to reduce overall hair growth. This treatment can be performed on almost any of the body depending on the thickness and colour. During the first consultation we will do a test patch for your safety even if you have previous laser or IPL treatments to see if you are the right candidate for the treatment. During the treatment you may feel a warm sensation which may linger post treatment, which will subside in a few hours. We can apply some cool packs to reduce heat also if you are feeling uncomfortable.

At Platinum Cosmetics in Port Melbourne, we offer professional SkinCeuticals chemical peels that are selected and customised according to your skin type, concerns and treatment goals. These clinical peels may contain ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acids and beta hydroxy acids to exfoliate the skin and support a clearer, smoother and more refined complexion.

SkinCeuticals peels may help improve the appearance of dullness, congestion, uneven skin tone, rough texture, fine lines and sun-damaged skin. Different peel strengths allow our clinicians to tailor the depth and intensity of treatment to suit your skin and its tolerance.

During your skin consultation, your clinician will assess your skin and recommend an appropriate peel treatment plan. Depending on the peel selected, downtime may range from minimal to approximately 48 hours. For optimal results, treatments are generally recommended every two to four weeks as part of a personalised skin program.

Epidermal levelling uses a sterile blade to remove dead skin and peach fuzz on the face leaving your skin feeling as smooth and fresh. This treatment is available for all skin types and clients and has zero downtime. You may leave the clinic slightly pink however this will subside after an hour or so. This treatment is also perfect if you have a special event, being done 24 hours prior as the skin is so smooth the application of makeup will look effortless.

The Fotona SP Dynamis utilizes its Nd:YAG laser to perform a variety of aesthetic treatments, including skin rejuvenation, hair reduction, acne treatment, and vascular treatments. The Nd:YAG wavelength penetrates deeply into the skin, making it effective for targeting deeper skin layers and structures. This allows for treatments such as skin tightening, where the laser stimulates collagen production, and hair reduction, where it targets hair follicles to reduce hair growth. Additionally, the Nd:YAG laser is used for vascular treatments, addressing issues like spider veins and hemangiomas by coagulating blood vessels. Its versatility and depth of penetration make it a powerful tool for achieving comprehensive and long-lasting aesthetic results.

The Fotona SP Dynamis employs its Erbium:YAG laser for a range of aesthetic treatments focused on skin resurfacing and rejuvenation. This laser is highly effective for precise, micron-level ablation, making it ideal for treatments such as skin resurfacing, where it removes surface imperfections like fine lines, wrinkles, and scars. The Er:YAG laser is also used for fractional resurfacing, which targets specific areas of the skin to promote collagen remodeling and improve overall skin texture and tone. Additionally, it can perform light peels to refresh the skin's appearance and deep peels for more significant rejuvenation. The Er:YAG laser's ability to vaporize skin with minimal thermal damage ensures quick recovery and excellent results.

LED, or light-emitting diode, is a type of light therapy that uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin at varying depths. This non-invasive treatment can address a variety of skin concerns. For instance, red LED light therapy is known to reduce inflammation and stimulate collagen production, which helps in reducing wrinkles and improving skin texture. Blue LED light therapy, on the other hand, targets acne-causing bacteria, making it effective for treating acne. Overall, LED light therapy can enhance skin health by promoting healing, reducing signs of aging, and improving overall skin appearance.
