A 3D™ Bespoke Treatment combines three specialised techniques: a Chemical Peel, Medical Skin Needling or Mesotherapy, and a Specialised Mask with LED Light Therapy or Alginate Iontophoresis. This multi-modal approach is designed to comprehensively address a range of skin concerns in a single intensive session.

The treatment starts with a Chemical Peel to exfoliate and prepare the skin. This is followed by either Superficial Microneedling or Mesotherapy to rejuvenate and stimulate skin healing and regeneration, and to aid in the absorption of the selected active ingredients.

The final step is a specialised mask, chosen based on your specific skin needs, to soothe and enhance the treatment’s effectiveness, followed by the application of a moisturiser and SPF. Together, these steps improve skin texture, tone, and overall health, providing an extensive solution to a variety of skin concerns.

A 3D™ Bespoke Treatment is a comprehensive procedure involving several steps. The process begins with skin preparation, ensuring a clean and receptive surface.

The first phase is a Chemical Peel, tailored to your individual skin conditions. Depending on the requirements, either Superficial Microneedling or Mesotherapy is then performed, introducing active ingredients into the skin.

The final phase is the application of a specialised mask, in the form of either LED Light Therapy or Alginate Iontophoresis, to soothe, enhance, and finalise the treatment process.

This multi-step approach ensures a thorough and effective treatment tailored to each individual’s skincare needs.

The 3D™ Bespoke Treatment offers a wide range of benefits, and patients experience significant improvements in their skin’s health and appearance, with many seeing results within a few weeks of the treatment.

These are the key benefits of the 3D™ Bespoke Treatment:

• Targeted approach to specific skin concerns such as pigmentation, rosacea, acne, and signs of ageing
• Calming of inflammation and reduction in acne scarring
• Stimulation of cell regeneration, leading to a resurfaced, healthier, and smoother complexion
• Enhanced skin texture and tone, providing a more even and radiant appearance
• Significant improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Customised treatment plan, ensuring that your unique skincare needs are addressed effectively

The signature post-treatment glow is visible immediately after treatment! The full results, however, from a 3D™ Bespoke Treatment are typically visible within 2 to 4 weeks. The time frame varies based on the individual’s skin type and concerns, with ongoing improvements observed as the skin naturally regenerates. Regular maintenance treatments can enhance and prolong these benefits.

The number of 3D™ Bespoke Treatments required to see results varies across individuals. While some patients notice improvements after just one session, others with more complex issues like deep pigmentation or extensive skin damage may need 2 to 3 treatments for optimal outcomes.

The effectiveness of the treatment is also dependent on the patient’s adherence to the recommendations for post-treatment care and follow-up sessions. Follow-up treatments help to sustain and enhance the final results.

Typically, a single treatment can provide noticeable improvements, but for more comprehensive results or to address more complex skin concerns, additional sessions may be required. These follow-up treatments are usually spaced out, allowing the skin to heal and respond to the initial treatment before undergoing subsequent sessions.

Your Skincare Specialist will provide personalised advice on the ideal frequency of treatments for your specific skin needs, as well as guidance on any necessary maintenance sessions to sustain and enhance your results.

A single 3D™ Bespoke Treatment session typically takes between 90 and 120 minutes. This duration allows for the comprehensive and meticulous application of all three components of the treatment—Chemical Peel, Skin Needling or Mesotherapy, and the Specialised Mask. The time ensures that each step is performed with the utmost care and precision to target your specific skincare needs.

The recovery time following a 3D™ Bespoke Treatment is typically minimal, lasting about 2 – 5 days. Initially, patients may experience a sensation similar to sunburn, and the skin might appear reddened.

Within the first 48 hours, the skin can feel dry and might even flake, but this is a normal part of the healing process. Our post-treatment recovery pack is designed to minimise discomfort and aid in the skin’s recovery. As the skin heals, patients will begin to notice improvements in their skin’s texture and overall appearance.

It’s important to follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by the Skincare Specialist to ensure optimal healing and results.

After you consult with the Skincare Specialist, you will be quoted according to the size of the area being treated and the number of sessions required to treat your concerns.

You can however expect a cost of R 3 850 – R 4 850 per treatment.

The cost includes a bespoke aftercare pack consisting of relevant product minis to aid the recovery of your skin post-treatment.

While 3D Bespoke Treatments offer a comprehensive solution for various skin concerns, there are several other treatments available that can be considered as alternatives:

• 3D Medical Skin Needling: This advanced treatment combines Dermapen with active ingredients for collagen stimulation and skin rejuvenation. Tailor-made for each individual, this microneedling treatment enhances texture and tone, revealing youthful, vibrant skin. 
• Mesoéclat® Bespoke Treatments: These personalised skincare solutions are designed to rejuvenate the skin, addressing concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation. This treatment combines LUMECCA™ IPL, medical skin needling, and Forma Radiofrequency with the Mesoéclat system for a healthier, more youthful complexion.
• Glow Getter: The Glow Getter Facial is an innovative treatment that blends a Chemical Peel with Lumecca IPL and a hydrating Crystal Fibre Sheet Mask. This combination improves skin texture, reduces irregularities, and leaves the skin plumped, hydrated, and radiant.

Each of these treatments provides a unique approach to skincare and can be tailored to meet your individual needs and goals. For a more personalised solution, consult with our Skincare Specialists, who can evaluate your skin and design a bespoke treatment plan for you.

What to do before the 3D™ Bespoke Treatment

Preparing for your 3D™ Bespoke Treatment involves several key steps to ensure your skin is ready and to maximise the efficacy of the treatment:

• Stop any harsh facial treatments or exfoliating procedures at least one week prior to your appointment. This is to avoid any additional skin sensitivity or irritation.
• Reduce direct sun exposure and refrain from tanning sessions a week before your treatment to minimise the risk of adverse reactions and ensure an even skin tone.
• Compile a list of your current skincare products. This will assist your Skincare Specialist in understanding your routine and recommending products that complement the treatment.
• Disclose any current medications or health conditions to your Skincare Specialist, as these could impact the treatment’s effectiveness or cause unexpected reactions.
• If you’re planning for a significant event and are new to skincare treatments, it’s advised that you schedule your session at least 6 weeks in advance. This allows time for your skin to respond to the treatment and for any adjustments in your skincare regimen.
• Discuss any recent aesthetic procedures with your Skincare Specialist. Certain treatments might necessitate a waiting period before undergoing the 3D Bespoke Treatment to avoid complications and ensure the best results.

Day of the 3D™ Bespoke Treatment

If this is your first treatment session at the clinic, start by filling out a brief medical questionnaire. This step is key in assisting your Skincare Specialist to tailor a treatment plan that best suits your needs. You’ll need to have your face, neck, and shoulders accessible for the treatment, so changing into a robe will be required. The treatment steps include:

• A thorough cleansing of the skin
• Application of the Chemical Peel, Medical Skin Needling or Mesotherapy
• Use of a specialised mask, selected for your unique skin concerns

After the 3D™ Bespoke Treatment

After the treatment, you can expect mild redness and tightness, similar to sunburn. Peeling may occur as part of the skin’s rejuvenation. A quick recovery is aided by following the recommended aftercare, especially moisturising. Complete results will develop over the weeks as the skin renews. Initial redness, swelling, and darkening of lesions are typical, with full recovery often within 4 to 7 days.

AFTERCARE PRODUCTS AND ADVICE

• Cleanse twice daily with a gentle, antibacterial wash to keep the skin clean and reduce the risk of infection.
• Apply cooling gels as recommended to alleviate any discomfort or irritation.
• Moisturise your skin regularly with products specifically suggested by your Skincare Specialist to aid in the healing process and improve treatment outcomes.
• Protect your skin with a daily application of SPF 50 to shield against UV exposure, which can be more harmful to sensitised skin.
• Avoid facial waxing for at least one week after the treatment to prevent irritation.
• Limit your exposure to direct sunlight for the first week post-treatment to allow the skin to heal properly.
• Refrain from engaging in strenuous exercises or activities that induce excessive sweating for at least 24 hours following the treatment, as this can interfere with the healing process.
