At Select Skin we offer an array of specialised treatments to help you reach your skin goals. Our most popular treatments are:
Ultra former III– Ultraformer III is a non-surgical skin tightening treatment that incorporates high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy. This revolutionary system triggers the body’s natural regenerative process to lift and tighten the skin.
IPL – IPL treatments work with your skin to remove your any pigmentation and to stimulate deep collagen regeneration and elastic fibre production over a sequence of treatments.
Skin Needling – Skin needling increases collagen production, resulting in smoother, firmer looking skin. Acne scars, stretch marks, fine wrinkles, pigmentation, enlarged pores, and blackheads are also reduced.
LED Light Therapy Face & Body – LED Light Therapy is suitable for all skin types and delivers a range of health benefits to the whole body including muscle recovery, reduced inflammation and increased blood flow. Welcome to our new chic, modern, minimalist, bright clinic bringing you a new era of Select Skin history. It can benefit from increasing dermal moisture levels. The emphasis on this treatment is on boosting cellular activity, circulation, tissue oxygenation and detoxification to plump and firm the skin. The effects are cumulative and noticeable after each treatment.
Professional Peeling Systems : The Peeling system that we provide are formulated with acids that work on a multilayered approach to regenerate the skin from within while resurfacing and refining in superficial layers. These peels are designed to enhance the overall appearance of the skin via the activation of cellular level improvements.

To fully understand your skin needs and analyse your concerns we recommend booking in for a consultation & skin analysis, together with a prescriptive treatment, as this will allow us enough time to assess your skin condition and perform a treatment on the day to kick-start your results.
Your extensive consultation with a dermal clinician includes a warm welcome, then a skin analysis with our latest OBSERV skin diagnostic technology that allows us to assess your skin with pinpoint accuracy allowing in-depth scientific diagnosis of your skin condition. Then we precisely plan your treatments, long-term results and choose the right actives for your skin condition. We are open to all your questions regarding skin, treatments and products. The Select Skin team is here to support you in an uplifting, educating and non-judgmental way.
You are more than welcome to have a consultation and a skin treatment on the same appointment. This allows us to kick-start your results and get on top of your skin concerns right away, making you feel at ease.
The consultation fee is deductible if you choose to have a skin treatment or purchase products on the day of your consultation. The consultation fee will not be deducted for treatments booked or products purchased on another date than your consultation.
