Working in conjunction with Peter, Vivienne Ironside is a fully qualified Beautician (Cert 4 and Diploma in Beauty Therapy) providing a very personal service. Services include. Micro-dermabrasion & Hydrobrasion This is a simple procedure, which gives the skin a deep exfoliation. The machine sucks on the skin, at the same time removing dead cells from the surface. Exfoliating creates a micro injury to the skin which in turn causes a healing reaction. The healing reaction results in stimulation of more of your own collagen. The suction affects the capillaries which in turn release a hormone to stimulate the collagen producing cells to multiply, and work faster. More collagen equals firmer skin, it also attracts more water in the skin (more hydration) equalling fewer wrinkles. Vivienne utilises a new Micro-dermabrasion machine from Ultraceuticals. It has a diamond tip and does not spray the skin with particles. Combined with this is the new hydrating wand, allowing the skin to be deep cleansed during the procedure, or more importantly, allowing the deep infusion of vitamin serums, or even-skin tone serum. Using the hydrating wand, Vivienne can also apply a chemical peel at the same time. This gives a maximum exfoliating effect. As well as Micro-dermabrasion, Vivienne has an Ultraceuticals Sonophoresis machine. This uses ultrasound frequencies to deep cleanse, and also to infuse. Lactic Peels for improving skin texture, clarity and hydration. Vita Peels works on brightening pigmentation and sun spots leaving you with fresh glowing skin. Massage and Hot Stone Massage are great for whole body relaxation and rejuvenation. Waxing & Tinting are also available.
