Peels & Cavitation
Everything on this page does the same job by different means: clearing the dead surface layer so the skin underneath behaves. A peel does it chemically — I use BioRePeel, PRX-T33 and BHA peels depending on whether we are treating congestion, tone or texture. Cavitation does it with ultrasonic vibration and water, no acid at all, which makes it the option for skin too reactive for a peel. It also leaves the skin far more able to absorb whatever goes on next, so it often opens another treatment rather than standing alone.
- Duration
- 30–60 minutes
- Investment
- from $50
- — Congestion, blackheads and acne
- — Uneven tone and texture
- — Dullness and rough surface
- — Fine lines that sit on the surface
- — Reactive skin that cannot tolerate acids — cavitation only

01
Skin analysis
Whether you are having acid or ultrasound, and at what strength, is decided here rather than at booking.
-
02
Prep
Skin is cleansed and, for a peel, degreased so the acid works evenly.
-
03
Exfoliate
The peel is timed and neutralised, or the cavitation is worked section by section.
-
04
Calm and protect
Serum, sometimes a mask, always SPF. Freshly exfoliated skin burns easily.
Which one you need is decided after I look at your skin.
- Cavitation peeling with serum
- $50
- Regular peel
- $100–150
- BioRePeel
- $200
- PRX-T33
- $200
Book the entry level if you are unsure — it is easier to move you up on the day than to have you pay for more than your skin needs.
Peels & Cavitation, honestly
- Will my skin actually peel?
- It depends which one. Cavitation causes no peeling at all. A regular peel may give you light flaking around day three. BioRePeel and PRX-T33 are designed to work without heavy shedding, which is why I use them on people who cannot take visible downtime.
- Which should I have, a peel or cavitation?
- Cavitation if your skin is reactive, if you are pregnant, or if you simply cannot risk any flaking. A peel if we are treating pigmentation, established congestion or texture, because acids reach deeper than ultrasound does.
- How often can I have one?
- Cavitation every four weeks or so. Peels depend entirely on strength — a light peel can be monthly, stronger ones want longer between them. We plan the spacing at the first appointment.
- Do I need to stop my retinol first?
- Yes — pause retinol and any acids for about five days beforehand. Exfoliating skin that is already stripped is how people end up with a compromised barrier.
Microneedling
Collagen induction therapy that softens texture, scarring and fine lines by prompting the skin to rebuild itself.
Biostimulators
Regenerative actives driven deep into the skin by microneedling or electroporation — no injections — to rebuild where it has thinned.
High-Tech Treatments
Radiofrequency, cryotherapy, microcurrent and EMS — the treatments where the right device does something hands cannot.
