Dermaplaning 45mins
Dermaplaning is a painless, non-invasive, relaxing, exfoliating treatment for skin rejuvenation, using a medical grade scalpel and a special skin stretching technique. It is performed on dry skin, and only on the face. This process shaves away the outer layer of dead skin cells, debris, oils and peach fuzz (vellus hair), to stimulate the skin and leave it immediately feeling softer, smoother and glowing.
Dermaplaning is a great way to exfoliate the skin without the use of harsh chemicals, even for highly sensitive skin, rosacea, or visible facial veins. Exfoliating helps products to better penetrate the skin. It may also help to prevent wrinkles and reduce surface hyper-pigmentation over time, when performed regularly. It is a fantastic treatment to prepare the skin for chemical peels or laser, and it is just the perfect base for a professional make-up application, for special events or weddings. Good for rough, dry skin, superficial hyperpigmentation, mild acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles. It also stimulates collagen and elastin in the skin, to increase and preserve its elasticity.
Like most exfoliation techniques, Dermaplaning prevents breakouts rather than causing them. By removing the top layer of dead skin cells, dermaplaning prevents these cells from getting trapped inside the pores.
It has very little to zero down-time after treatment – some clients can expect to have some redness for a short time after their treatment.
It can be performed every 3-4 weeks for best long lasting results. It is 100% safe for darker skins. It does not irritate the skin and will not cause hyperpigmentation.
Aqua-Tip Dermabrasion 30mins
Aqua–Tip Dermabrasion is a customised dermabrasion skin treatment which uses a device to blast the skin with water based active solutions, to remove impurities, such as dead skin cells and sebum. It is less abrasive and more gentle than traditional microdermabrasion treatments.
During the treatment active serums are also infused into the skin to help stimulate the production of collagen.
The three major steps involved in the Aqua-Tip Dermabrasion skin Treatment are the following:
Cleanse and Peel – This is the resurfacing step, when the skin is exfoliated.
Extract and Hydrate – The spiral tip gets impurities out of pores and delivers topical active ingredients simultaneously.
Infuse and Protect – The treatment will finish with “boosters” or serums to help achieve the desired outcome, which may include reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, dull skin, or enlarged pores. The treatment is entirely customizable.
Diamond Tip Microdermabrasion 75 mins
Diamond tip dermabrasion, also known as microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive procedure, used to renew overall skin tone and texture. It can improve the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scarring, melasma, and other skin-related concerns and conditions.
It is not suitable however for people with hypersensitive skin, and those with a sensitive skin should have a patch test prior to having the treatment done.
The treatment can be done every 10-28 days. When performed regularly, it can help to replenish natural nutrients, restore cell activity, and promote skin health.
The treatment includes cleansing, toning, microdermabrasion, soothing mask and moisturizing.
Micro Skin Needling
Micro Skin Needling is also known as Collagen Induction Therapy. It treats skin problems by stimulating the body’s natural healing response. It does so by using small needles to create tiny puncture wounds in the skin.
Micro-needling requires a series of treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimum results as the body slowly regenerates collagen and elastin in the treatment area.
The skin needling pen has adjustable settings which allow the therapist to adjust and customize the procedure to the customer comfort level, as well as treat more troublesome areas, like deep wrinkles or acne scars.
In addition to stimulating the body’s healing response, the micro channels created by the skin needling pen allow for the penetration of serums such as hyaluronic acid. The needles will push the serum deeper into the skin as the puncture wounds are created, which aids the serum ingredients to penetrate deeper.
Micro-skin needling has many benefits that can improve the following skin conditions: enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles, loose or thin skin, mild acne scars, uneven skin tone, stretch marks
Recovery after a Micro-skin needling treatment is relatively short, with most redness and discomfort subsiding within 24-48 hours. Of course, every patient is different, and those with sensitive skin may experience prolonged discomfort. However, most individuals can resume their regular skin care and makeup routine after 48 hours.

The treatment time varies from 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the areas to be treated.

R/F Wave (Lift & Firm- available only at The AV Clinic)
It is an effective 3-in-1 system; results driven anti-ageing on the face and anti-cellulite & firming treatment for the body. The Radio Frequency treatment uses waves, which excite the molecular structure within the skin tissues generating heat. This thermal energy stimulates collagen production in the face, tightening and lifting the skin (non-surgical face lifting action).
When used on the body it helps break down fat cells reducing the appearance of cellulite. Radiofrequency is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment.
Tightens saggy skin and diminishes fine lines and wrinkles. Stimulates collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production. Creates a plump, firm and toned skin.

Fractional RF (available only at Ta’Xbiex)
Microneedling with radiofrequency is a minimally invasive treatment to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, scarring, and sagging skin. The addition of radiofrequency energy to the microneedling procedure helps to further stimulate the body’s natural collagen and healing processes revealing firmer, rejuvenated skin. Because the RF energy is delivered so deeply, it can produce faster and more dramatic results.
It is a non-surgical procedure with minimal pain, down time and side effects, that can effectively treat fine lines & wrinkles.

Plasma Pen Skin Tightening
The Plasma Pen therapy is an innovative anti-ageing treatment that stimulates the activity of collagen-producing cells in the connective tissue. This non-invasive, non-surgical cosmetic treatment targets fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin, and leaves a visibly rejuvenated, tighter, and lifted appearance.
It involves using a pen-like device that sends a controlled electric current or plasma arc to the skin. The provider holds the device about 1 mm above the surface of the skin while the electric current causes micro-injuries.
The scabs that appear due to the injury, also called carbon crusts, contract the skin and leave an instant tightening effect as the body produces more collagen and elastin to heal. The tiny scabs disappear after about ten days, while the treated area is left tightened, smoothed, and youthful.
Plasma Pen Benefits
Plasma Pen therapy provides many aesthetic advantages, much like those after surgical lifts but without knives and anesthesia: tighter and healthier skin, lifting, minimizing dark circles and puffiness in the undereye region, wrinkle reduction, scar tissue reduction, age and sun spots reduction.
Plasmaporation
Plasmaporation is also known as Electroporation, it is a non- invasively electromagnetic pulse that disrupts the skin’s intercellular connections allowing therapeutic substances and preparations to be absorbed deep into the dermal layers of the skin. Active substances such as Hyaluronic Acid, penetrate into the skin without the need for traditional injections (fillers).
With the use of the Electroporation current we can cause the stratum corneum to allow molecular weight serums to penetrate through the cell membranes in the skin and deep within the cell. Plasmaporation delivers short, small, electrical pulses into the skin.
Benefits of Plasmaporation: enhanced penetration of active ingredients for optimum skin health and extra strengthening, brighter, tighter more healthy skin, helps in the reduction of mild hyperpigmentation & melasma, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, brightens dull, ageing skins.
For optimum results 6 treatments are recommended every 3-4 weeks.
