Three of our favourite Sydney facialists share their best treatments to blast through pressing skin concerns and leave you glowing brighter than an LED lamp. Lock down your appointments now! 

What can we say? A visit to the salon no longer just consists of a lovely scrub and then a vitamin face mask – even your local suburban beauty spot has surely gone high tech with some LED equipment.

So, there is now a slew of treatments that are as close to surgery that you’ll ever get (not that you need it!!).

A beautiful marriage of smart radio frequency equipment and well-crafted skin care formulations means that a pop to the salon will firm, lift and plump your visage, get you party-ready quicker than a shot of vodka and slough away the winter layers…without discomfort, long recovery and even needles.

So what treatments are trending for skin in our favourite beauty spaces?

Body Sculpting Clinics – High-Performance RF

I love the High-Performance RF (stands for radio frequency) for a massive collagen boost and lift before going to a party. It’s quick, it’s effective – and it has amazing results. The treatment works by selectively heating skin tissue using RF technology to promote two responses from the dermal layer. Almost immediately, it contracts the collagen fibres which results in radiantly glowing skin.

We love popping into the new Westfield Bondi Junction clinic before an event for that “have you had work done!?” look that makes you look more like Elle after a holiday (and less like Kylie after too much filler). This salon itself is nekk-level architectural design and you’ll be sure to take lots of selfies in the light-installation hallway! As for the High-Performance RF treatment, its completely non-invasive, uber-relaxing and takes 30 minutes to achieve a plump and lifted complexion. What’s not to love?
