Medical grade skin peels vary in strength and not all peels require downtime. 

Skin peels work to regenerate and resurface the skin. A gentle peel can be perfect for rejuvenating the skin.

Australian Skin Face Body has a range of popular skin peels from Dermaceutic.

There’s four peels to tailor to your needs – Mask Peel, Milk Peel, Cosmo Peel and Mela (Spot) Peel.

On a cellular level, the skin has a natural turnover cycle which slows with age. This leads to the skin’s appearance looking lack lustre as collagen levels become depleted and the top layer of the skin, the epidermis thins making the layer underneath, the dermis, more susceptible to UV exposure. This results in pigmentation, wrinkles, textural changes and dryness of the skin.

Plastic Surgeon, Mr Ian Holten (MED0001130662) MBBS MD FRACS FRCS (Plast) Lon, offers consultations for these conditions:

• Hypohidrosis (excessive sweating)

• TMJ (Teeth Grinding)

• Migraines / headaches

Sunscreen products can protect you from skin cancer and aid in the prevention of premature skin ageing.

Protection from the sun’s rays is the key to preventing photo-ageing – pigmentation, sunspots, rosacea, wrinkles, and of course, skin cancer. Without SPF the battle for healthy skin is lost. Let’s take a look at some of the facts around sunscreen.

At Australian Skin Face Body, we understand how frustrating and challenging acne can be, whether you’re a teenager dealing with sudden breakouts or an adult experiencing persistent or late-onset acne. Thankfully, with the advancements in professional skin treatments, there are drug-free solutions available to tackle even the most severe cases of acne.

At Australian Skin Face Body, we’re lucky to have an incredible team of passionate professionals who are dedicated to helping patients achieve their skin health goals.

Fiona recently shared her insights and journey in the dermal industry through this engaging Q&A.

As we age, our skin naturally undergoes changes that result in fine lines, loss of elasticity, and dullness. While wrinkles are the most visible sign of ageing, the process goes much deeper. UV exposure, diet, stress, and lifestyle choices all play a critical role in how our skin ages. Fortunately, advances in skin science and professional treatments provide effective ways to prevent and even slow down premature ageing.

At Australian Skin Face Body (ASFB), we take a scientific, personalised approach to skin health, using the latest technology and treatments to help restore and maintain youthful, healthy skin.

The road to firmer, more youthful-looking skin doesn’t necessarily involve a scalpel.

As the Summer days linger, we need to protect our skin from the harsh Australian sun.

The sun’s rays may give us what we call a “healthy glow”, but what it really happening to our skin?

The increase in melanin produced in our epidermis is what causes a sun tan. Ultraviolet (UV) rays trigger the melanocytes to produce melanin, resulting in an increase in pigmentation in the skin. Our skin responds this way because it’s trying to protect the DNA of the skin cells.

Have you noticed sagging skin around your jowls, jawline, and under the chin?

Troubled by loose skin around the eyelids or nasolabial folds, commonly known as “smile lines” or “laugh lines”?

Healthy skin always starts with a thorough skin consultation.
