Autumn and winter are the best time of year to start a needling course. Here is why.
Skin needling stimulates collagen and elastin through controlled micro-injury, improving texture, scarring, pores and overall skin quality progressively over a series of treatments. The recovery period involves redness and some sensitivity, and cooler months with reduced UV exposure mean safer healing and better results.
Starting now means your skin has the full winter window to respond, and you will see the most significant changes by the time spring arrives.

LED therapy is one of the most versatile clinical tools available. Total Xen takes it beyond the face.
Delivering clinically proven light wavelengths across the entire body, Total Xen targets inflammation, supports muscle recovery, improves circulation and promotes cellular repair from head to toe. It is used for post-treatment recovery, chronic inflammation, general wellbeing and as a complement to a broader skin and health routine.
Most people notice a difference after a single session. A course produces lasting change.
Available exclusively at our Woden salon. Ask our team whether Total Xen is right for you.

Uneven skin tone? Let’s clear that up. 👏🏼
IPL is one of our go-to treatments for pigmentation, broken capillaries, redness and sun damage. It uses pulses of light to gently fade discolouration and reveal a more even, radiant complexion.
Results build over a course of treatments... and they’re worth it.

What does Venus Versa Pro actually treat? More than most people realise.
1️⃣ IPL Skin Rejuvenation clears pigmentation, redness, sun damage and broken capillaries using targeted pulses of light. Suitable for all skin types and one of the most effective treatments for overall tone and clarity.
2️⃣ DiamondPolar RF Tightening heats the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen and firm the tissue. No needles, no downtime and results that build progressively over a course.
3️⃣ NanoFractional RF Resurfacing targets texture, scarring, enlarged pores and deeper lines by triggering the skin’s natural repair response from within.
Three modalities. Each addressing a different layer of concern. A consultation determines the right approach for your skin.

Effective skincare is not complicated. It just needs to be right for your skin.
Men's skin is thicker and oilier than female skin, subject to daily shaving trauma and more prone to congestion, enlarged pores and ingrown hairs.
A facial at Essence addresses these concerns directly.
What a treatment typically involves:
• Deep cleansing to clear congestion and buildup
• Exfoliation to refine texture and reduce ingrown hairs
• Targeted hydration to restore barrier function after daily shaving
• LED therapy or extractions where needed
Results-focused and practical from start to finish.

3 reasons our brow appointments keep filling up:
1️⃣ The shape changes everything.
Arch placement, tail length and proportion directly influence how balanced and lifted the face appears. A small adjustment in the right place has a disproportionate impact on the overall look.
2️⃣ A tint does more than add colour.
It fills gaps, evens out tone and creates definition that makes the brows read clearly without any makeup. Subtle when done well and immediately noticeable.
3️⃣ It is low maintenance with a lasting result.
Under 30 minutes, no daily upkeep and a result that looks good for weeks.

The calmest way to change your skin. ✨
LED Light Therapy may look simple, but it works hard beneath the surface. Using clinically proven wavelengths, it helps:
• Reduce redness and inflammation
• Stimulate collagen
• Calm breakouts or reactive skin
• Support recovery after other treatments
It’s one of the most versatile tools in our treatment room, and there’s no downtime. Add LED to your next treatment or book a stand-alone session. 🤍

Firmer skin without needles, downtime or discomfort? Here is the science behind it 👇🏼
DiamondPolar RF uses a combination of Multi-Polar Radio Frequency and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields delivered simultaneously through the skin. The RF energy heats the dermal tissue, triggering fibroblast activity and stimulating collagen and elastin production. The PEMF component promotes circulation and fibroblast proliferation through FGF-2 growth factor, accelerating the remodelling process.
The skin responds progressively over a course of treatments. Firmness improves, fine lines soften and facial contours become more defined as collagen rebuilds from within.
It is one of the most effective non-invasive treatments available for elasticity loss and sagging.

The BABOR HY-ÖL two-phase cleansing routine pairs the HY-ÖL Cleanser with the Phyto Booster Calming to deep cleanse while actively supporting the skin barrier and microbiome.
Natural soy, sesame and peanut oils attract and lift oil and water-soluble impurities without stripping the lipid mantle. Vitamin E, bisabolol and Quillaja extract draw out residue at a deeper level.
The Phyto Booster Calming adds chamomile, arnica and calendula to soothe and nourish during the cleanse itself, while moringa seed protein helps protect against environmental stressors.
The result is skin that feels clean, balanced and calm. Ask our team about introducing the BABOR cleansing system into your routine. 🤍
