My skin has been troubling me since I had kids. The hormonal changes I went through resulted in hyperpigmentation, melasma and acne. Not fun. For years, I have been trying absolutely every potion, lotion, ointment and cream.. some with temporary good results. Lately, I decided to invest in facials more – where I can SEE a result, a change! I was lucky enough to be told about this mother/daughter business and visited them for my second micro-needling treatment ever. I am so happy to say, the experience was good and the results – wonderful!
Mother and daughter team – Brashna and Sheihla offer me a warm welcome and I instantly feel relaxed with them. They tell me that they understand skin types, their needs, their response to various treatments and products. For this reason they customise treatment plans to meet individual needs without using toxins. They are phlebotomists and so have ample experience and knowledge medically and use only proven and safe procedures and products; ensuring the highest standard of care and safety.


Their main aim? To boost your collagen, turn back the time minimising wrinkles or reduce scars, including surgical scars; Microneedling and Platelet Rich Plasma (P.R.P.) treatments are highly sought after with amazing results. They also remove skin blemishes such as skin tags, warts, verrucae, age spots, sun spots and much moremusing Cryosurgery.  

As soon as I walked through the door, I felt looked after, nurtured in fact. They took the time to ask me all about my skin concerns and how we can work together to achieve the results I longed for. Clearer skin without acne scars and pigmentation.​​ Microneedling seems to be a game-changer for anyone seeking a smoother-looking complexion. It is a minimally invasive procedure, designed to promote collagen production which leads to a healthier, younger looking skin. So on top of the results I wanted, it’s also great for wrinkles. My face was sensitive for about a day and they gave me a couple of cooling gels which I popped in the fridge before using. After initial redness for a day or 2, my skin revealed it’s newer, plumper self in about a week.

I did wonder about cheaper microneedling devices on the market that I’d heard about people doing at home. Not only would I have no idea what I was doing but these can cause microscopic tears or injuries to skin and can actually drag more bacteria into your skin. No thanks. At SKIN:TONE they use the ‘SkinPen’ – the first FDA cleared microneedling device in the world. 

Using SkinPen, they create up to 1600 controlled micro-channels per second in your skin.  This microneedling device is manufactured so that it does not wear out and cause needless trauma to the skin during the treatment session.  This is because SkinPen’s controlling mechanism together with the puncturing pins, is encased in a disposable cartridge which we dispose off after each treatment. The micro-channels made in my skin stimulates it’s natural healing process.  This triggers the production of;

  • fibroblasts

  • collagen

  • elastin

Collagen and elastin scaffold the skin making it plumper and supple looking skin. As the skin renews itself, it becomes firm, and any scars or wrinkles noticeably fade further with repeat sessions.

It has been tested to work on;

  • Acne scars

  • Surgical scars

  • Wrinkles

  • Signs of ageing

  • Pigmentation,

 

I am impressed with this treatment; after a week my skin is plump and glowing, with an obvious reduction in melasma and acne scarring. I will be returning for another before Christmas!

​SKIN:TONE also provide many other treatments like lash lifts/tints, massage, facials, cryosurgery and plasma rich platelets. It’s clear why there are so many positive testimonials on their website. Recommended especially if it’s your first time having a particular treatment – you will feel confident in their experience and knowledge and inspired by their passion for beautiful skin!
