Microneedling
Microneedling is a skin resurfacing procedure where a device is used to create micro injuries to the outermost layer of skin; thus encouraging the body's own inate ability to repair and heal itself.
The device is combined with specially selected active ingredients, which are applied and needled directly into deeper layers of skin during the procedure.
Novo is trained and certified with the renowned Dermapen device.
The results of this minimally invasive treatment is new collagen and elastin fibres resulting in
- Smoothing lines and tightening of skin
- Reduction of large pores
- Reduced hyperpigmentation
- Improving scarring
- Improved skin texture
Skin improvements can be noticed after 1 session but a course of treatment is recommended to get the best results.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peeling is a skin resurfacing procedure where a chemical is applied to the skin to remove the outermost layer of dead cells helping to promote new skin cell growth via collagen and elastin production.
The result are smoother, fresher looking skin with a glow. Other benefits include;

Chemical peels are typically split into 3 types of peel. Superficial, medium and deep.
- Superficial is exactly that, often purchased over the counter and performed at home with minimal impact.
- Medium is medical grade, only done by a trained healthcare professional.
- Deep is the type only done once, under general anaesthetic, as it removes multiple layers and leaves skin open and raw.
We offer MEDIUM grade chemical peeling.

Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides, put simply “poly” means many and “nucleotides” are the building blocks of DNA.
These hero molecules are extracted from salmon or trout DNA fragments, as they closely resemble our human DNA. They are then injected into the skin where our fibroblasts (skin cells) see them as food or medicine. The cells utilise them within our extracellular matrix (the layer of skin our fibroblast live in) to repair and increase collagen, elastin and help produce new skin cells.
This regenerates the skin cells from the inside out; by targeting fibroblasts, used in wound healing cascade to help skin cells become healthier and more abundant. This results in boosted hydration, reduced inflammation, improved texture, tone and firmness, meaning less visible lines and wrinkles and the reduction of hyperpigmentation.
This bio-stimulatory treatment can be injected pretty much anywhere across face and neck. Especially great for the very tricky under eye area. Finally something with reduced risks and reduced long term complications, in such a notoriously difficult to treat region. Polynucleotides around the eye are great for improving pigmentation (dark circles) fine line and wrinkles, creating thicker skin in the delicate under eye area.
Polynucleotides can used be a stand alone treatment, but for best results a course of at least two is recommended.
