V&S Aesthetics
Experience the Vein and Skin Signature Medical Facial featuring asap skincare, micro+ dermabrasion, sonophorosis and Omnilux LED red light therapy
At Vein & Skin Aesthetics, our Signature MediFacial is more than a facial — it’s a complete skin-health treatment designed to renew, clarify, and deeply revitalise your complexion. Combining advanced medical technology with a touch of luxury, this treatment delivers both instant radiance and long-term results.
Your experience begins with a thorough double cleanse using the ASAP Skincare range, removing impurities and preparing your skin for treatment. We use ultrasonic technology to gently loosen debris and congestion from the pores — leaving your skin fresh, clarified, and ready to absorb active ingredients.
A light AHA peel is then applied to renew and smooth the skin’s surface. This active exfoliation works to dissolve dull surface cells and promote healthy cell turnover, revealing a more even and luminous skin tone beneath.
Next comes the ASAP Micro+ Dermabrasion — a precision exfoliation that uses fine diamond-tipped abrasion and gentle suction to remove dead cells, unclog pores, and stimulate blood flow. The result: an instantly refined texture and a fresh, polished glow.
Now for the most indulgent phase. A tailored cocktail of ASAP serums — chosen to address your specific skin needs — is infused deep into the dermis using sonophoresis technology. Ultrasonic sound waves enhance penetration, allowing your skin to fully absorb the active ingredients for maximum hydration, repair, and rejuvenation.
Your MediFacial concludes with a 20-minute Omnilux Red Light LED session — a clinically proven light therapy that stimulates collagen production, accelerates healing, and improves skin tone and texture. It’s also profoundly relaxing; most clients drift off under the warm, therapeutic light.
After your MediFacial, your skin will feel smoother, firmer, and visibly brighter — with a renewed, healthy glow that lasts. Over time, regular treatments help to refine pores, soften fine lines, and support long-term skin vitality.
Unlike a traditional spa facial, the MediFacial integrates medical-grade technologies — microdermabrasion, sonophoresis, and LED light therapy — with the expertise of trained skin professionals. Each treatment is personally prescribed and adjusted for your skin’s unique condition, ensuring optimal results every time.
Acne can cause a lot of anxiety and strife for sufferers. It is hard to find a method of treatment which will work for you, with an abundance of ‘miracle creams’ and celebrity endorsed products.
At the Vein and Skin Clinic, we aim to work with you to provide results. We have a range of specifically targeted cosmeceuticals and medical devices which are designed to treat acne. We also have skin specialist doctors onsite, who are able to prescribe medication.
Hormonal acne is caused by a build up of sebum in the sebaceous gland. The overproduction leads to the excess oil and bacteria forming a pustule on the skin. Once the pustule is exposed to the air (ie – you’ve squeezed it) it is open to a host of infections. This can lead to scarring and permanent damage.
While acne is most common in teenagers, it also affects adults. It is a cause for much anxiety and ultimately depression.
Microdermabrasion clears away skin debris by using crystals. This is achieved by the projection of small calcium hydroxyapatite crystals on the skin surface. Suction is applied simultaneously to help clear blocked pores.
Microdermabrasion can be used in conjunction Blue light- Omnilux, IPL, Fraxel and Dermapen (including RF Dermapen)
Microdermabrasion improves the appearance of fine lines, superficial pigmentation, enlarged pores and uneven skin texture (including scarring and ageing).
Microdermabrasion is not a treatment to correct deeper lines or deeper skin pigmentation.
Vein and Skin Clinic recommends a series of six or more treatments, one week apart, for maximum results. Treatments last 30 minutes and are performed by one of the Vein and Skin Clinic’s experienced nurses.
A treatment plan involving mild peels, micro-dermabrasion and Fraxel is often recommended for post acne scarring.
Light therapy has long been used as a short term treatment for acne. iClear is a medical device that uses LED (Light Emitting Devices) technology which uses deep penetrating light therapy (405-420 nm), generated by purpose built flourescent lighting, dichroic bulbs, LEDs or lasers. iClear light therapy irradiates porphyrin (a toxin produced by P.acnes – acne bacteria). Free radicals are produced. If treatment is applied over several days, these free radicals can kill bacteria that cause acne.
Since porphyrins are not otherwise present in skin, and no UV (Ultra Violet) light is employed, it appears to be safe, and has been licensed by the U.S. FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration).
Used twice weekly, iClear can reduce the number of acne lesions. Results are even better if a mixture of iClear blue light and Omnilux red or yellow light is used. Few side effects are experienced. Results are longer lived when compared to topical or oral antibiotic acne treatments. Conjunction with microdermabrasion also improves results.
The cost of this procedure varies according to the areas that require treatment and whether the area is treated alone or in conjunction with other areas. (This is most common).
