Bespoke Recovery Booster Facial Treatment South Africa

At Dr Nerina Wilkinson + Associates, we believe effective skin recovery begins with understanding your skin.

Every treatment starts with a detailed consultation and computerised VISIA Skin Analysis, allowing your Skincare Specialist to assess your skin and design a protocol tailored to your specific needs and concerns.

From in-clinic treatment to aftercare guidance, each step is thoughtfully structured to support your skin’s natural healing process, with your comfort and results at the forefront.

At Dr Nerina Wilkinson + Associates, the Bespoke Recovery Booster Facial Treatment combines a targeted cleansing phase with the added benefit of Dermalux LED Light Therapy, creating a comprehensive in-clinic experience tailored to your skin’s specific needs.

Every session includes:

• Cleansing and gentle exfoliation to prepare the skin and remove impurities.
• Application of a pharmaceutical-grade serum containing a high concentration of natural growth factors, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans to support healing and cellular renewal.
• Dermalux LED Light Therapy using red, blue and near-infrared wavelengths to calm inflammation, reduce redness, combat bacteria and stimulate deep tissue repair.
• SPF application to protect and preserve results post-treatment.

Your Skincare Specialist will guide you through a recommended aftercare regimen to support your skin’s healing and maintain results between sessions.

The cleansing phase is built around the science of skin absorption.

Gentle exfoliation removes the superficial barrier of dead skin cells, allowing the pharmaceutical-grade serum to penetrate more effectively than standard skincare products.

The serum’s active ingredients work at a cellular level.

Proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans are naturally occurring molecules found in the skin’s extracellular matrix, responsible for retaining moisture, maintaining structural integrity and supporting the collagen-rich environment in which skin cells regenerate.

Pharmaceutical-grade growth factors further signal the skin to stimulate collagen production and accelerate its own repair processes, making this phase particularly effective for post-procedural recovery.

Book your consultation to find out how the cleansing phase can support your skin.

LED Light Therapy works by delivering specific wavelengths of light energy directly into the skin, where it is absorbed by cells and used to stimulate and regulate essential biological processes.

This process, known as photobiomodulation, energises the mitochondria in skin cells, thereby increasing their ability to produce energy and function optimally.

As a result, skin cells can renew up to 200% faster, accelerating repair, regeneration, and control of inflammation.

The Bespoke Recovery Booster Facial Treatment uses three clinically proven wavelengths:

• Red light to reduce redness, regulate oil production and improve circulation;
• Blue light for its powerful antibacterial properties to target acne and inflammatory conditions;
• And near-infrared light, the most deeply absorbed wavelength, to improve elasticity, smooth fine lines and reduce inflammation at a deeper tissue level.

The Bespoke Recovery Booster Facial Treatment is suited to individuals whose skin requires additional healing and support, whether following a procedure or as a result of an active skin concern.

• Experience dry, dehydrated, or sensitive skin; fine lines and wrinkles; acne breakouts; or inflammatory skin conditions such as rosacea.
• Are pregnant and seeking a safe, effective in-clinic facial to address concerns such as melasma or general skin sensitivity.

Many clients notice an immediate improvement in skin calmness, hydration and overall tone following a single session.

As the skin continues to respond to the growth factors and LED Light Therapy in the days that follow, these results are further enhanced.

For more significant or long-standing skin concerns, optimal results are typically achieved over a course of treatments. Your Skincare Specialist will outline a recommended treatment plan during your consultation, giving you a clear indication of the results and timeline you can expect.

Book your consultation to find out what results the Bespoke Recovery Booster Facial Treatment can deliver for your skin.

Results from a Bespoke Recovery Booster Facial Treatment are influenced by several factors, including your skin type, the concern being addressed and your home care regimen.

While many clients experience lasting improvements in hydration, calmness and skin tone, maintaining results over time is best supported by a consistent skincare routine and ongoing in-clinic treatments.

Your Skincare Specialist will recommend a suitable treatment frequency and home care regimen during your consultation, tailored to your skin’s specific needs and long-term goals.

Book your consultation to discuss how to maintain and build on your results over time.

The Bespoke Recovery Booster Facial Treatment is a safe, non-invasive in-clinic procedure with no downtime, suitable for all skin types, and explicitly approved for use during pregnancy.

The treatment uses pharmaceutical-grade growth factors, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans, naturally occurring biological molecules that work in harmony with the skin’s own healing processes rather than introducing foreign substances, thereby minimising the risk of adverse reactions.

Dermalux LED Light Therapy is a clinically proven, non-invasive technology with a well-established safety profile, used widely in medical and aesthetic settings to treat a range of skin conditions without causing irritation or disruption to the skin.

Side effects are rare and typically mild, with some clients experiencing temporary redness immediately following treatment that resolves shortly after. All treatments are performed by qualified Skincare Specialists in a safe, medical environment, following carefully structured protocols to ensure your comfort and safety throughout.

When performed by qualified Skincare Specialists, the Bespoke Recovery Booster Facial Treatment is well-tolerated by most clients and associated with minimal side effects. However, as with any in-clinic skin treatment, there are potential considerations to discuss during your consultation.

Bespoke Recovery Booster: Side Effects, Risks & Complications

• Temporary redness: Mild skin redness may occur immediately following treatment, particularly in sensitive skin types, and typically resolves within a few hours.
• Skin sensitivity: Some clients may experience mild sensitivity or tightness in the treated area, which generally subsides shortly after treatment.
• Allergic reaction: While rare, some individuals may experience a reaction to the serum ingredients. A thorough medical history review during your consultation will help identify any known sensitivities.
• LED Light sensitivity: Clients with heightened sensitivity to light may experience mild discomfort during the Dermalux LED Light Therapy component of the treatment.

A thorough consultation with your Skincare Specialist will determine your suitability for treatment and ensure all contraindications are identified prior to your session.
