At Southern Cosmetics, we offer a range of medi-facials, chemical peels, facial infusions and galvanic facials to help ward off the signs of ageing and truly nourish your skin.
Medi-facials are facials that use medical grade skincare ingredients, but usually do not cause the skin to flake or peel. They are generally milder than chemical peels, but they will still improve the overall appearance of your skin, and often leave your skin feeling tighter and more radiant, but without any downtime.
Chemical peels exfoliate by using substances such as alpha-hydroxy acids (fruit acids) or beta-hydroxy acids (salicylic acid) to help improve the skin’s appearance.

DermaPen Skin Needling
Needling improves skin texture and aids in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. During this treatment, we use a sterile, single-use, pen-like device with adjustable fine surgical steel microneedles to create hundreds of tiny punctures in the skin. As these microneedles penetrate the upper (epidermis) and lower (dermis) layers of the skin at targeted and specific depths, they cause controlled microscopic wounds and pin-point bleeding. This process encourages the body’s own wound healing response, which results in an increase in activity of fibroblasts (collagen-producing cells) and improved skin texture.

When will you notice a change after DermaPen Skin Needling?
You can expect some redness and swelling for the first 24 to 48 hours, and it’s normal for your skin to feel warm and tight. If scarring is being treated, localised superficial bruising may occur.A hydrating moisturiser or balm is recommended to aid the flaking of surface skin cells and lessen dry skin for five to seven days after the treatment.Results may vary from person to person, but typically, you’ll notice an improvement after the first treatment. Lasting and more significant results will occur after several sessions.
How many sessions are usually required?
We usually recommend a course of three to six treatments of DermaPen Skin Needling for optimal results. These are usually spaced four to six weeks apart.
