Skin Treatments Hydrafacial

Hydrafacial

Hydrafacial is a non-invasive, multi-step facial treatment that combines exfoliation, deep cleansing, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection. This advanced skincare technique is designed to improve overall skin health and address various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, congested pores, and uneven skin texture.

Hydrafacial treatments are popular for their versatility, gentle approach, and minimal downtime, making them suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns.

  • The Hydrafacial treatment typically involves several steps, including cleansing and exfoliation, gentle acid peel, painless extractions, hydration with nourishing serums, and protection with antioxidants. The process is customisable to address individual skin concerns and goals.

  • Yes, Hydrafacial is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. The treatment can be customised to address specific skin concerns and sensitivities, making it a versatile option for a wide range of individuals.

  • One of the benefits of Hydrafacial is the minimal downtime. Most individuals are able to return to their regular activities immediately after the treatment, as it typically does not cause significant irritation or redness.

  • The frequency of Hydrafacial treatments can vary based on individual skin concerns and goals. For optimal results, a series of treatments may be recommended initially, followed by maintenance sessions every 4-6 weeks.

Skin Treatments - Dermapen Microneedling

Skin Needling

Skin needling, also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. This process stimulates the skin's natural healing response, promoting collagen production, improving skin texture, and reducing the appearance of various skin concerns such as wrinkles, scars, and hyperpigmentation.

  • Skin needling works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which triggers the body's natural healing process. This leads to the formation of new collagen and elastin, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

  • Skin needling can improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture. It can also help enhance overall skin tone and elasticity.

  • The level of discomfort experienced during a skin needling procedure can vary depending on individual pain tolerance. Most patients report mild discomfort during the treatment, which can be managed with the use of topical anaesthesia.

  • The number of skin needling sessions needed to achieve optimal results varies depending on individual skin concerns and goals. Typically, a series of treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended for best results.

  • Some redness, swelling, and mild sensitivity may be experienced immediately after a skin needling treatment, but these side effects usually subside within a few days. Sun protection and gentle skincare are recommended during the healing process.

Skin Treatments - Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently exfoliate the top layer of the skin, removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). This process promotes smoother skin texture, improved skin tone, and enhanced product penetration.

  • Smoother skin texture

  • Improved skin tone

  • Increased product absorption

  • Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

  • Brighter complexion

  • Smoother makeup application

  • Dermaplaning works by manually exfoliating the skin's surface using a surgical-grade scalpel. This gentle scraping action helps to remove dead skin cells, peach fuzz, and other impurities, revealing smoother, more luminous skin underneath.

  • Dermaplaning is a painless procedure that is often described as feeling like a gentle scraping sensation on the skin. Most individuals find it to be a comfortable and relaxing treatment.

  • The frequency of dermaplaning treatments can vary depending on individual skin concerns and goals. Generally, dermaplaning treatments can be done every 3-4 weeks to maintain optimal results.

  • There is typically no downtime after a dermaplaning treatment, and most individuals can return to their daily activities immediately. It is important to use sunscreen and follow a gentle skincare routine to protect and nourish the skin post-treatment.

Skin Treatments - L:ED Light Therapy

LED Light Therapy

LED (Light Emitting Diode) light therapy is a skincare treatment that uses various wavelengths of light to address different skin concerns. The different colours of light can penetrate the skin at varying depths, stimulating cellular processes and promoting a range of benefits such as collagen production, reducing inflammation, and improving overall skin tone.

  • LED light therapy works by emitting specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by the skin's cells. This stimulates cellular activity, promoting the production of collagen and elastin, reducing inflammation, and accelerating the skin’s natural rejuvenation processes.

  • The benefits of LED light therapy include reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin tone and texture, reducing inflammation and redness, accelerating skin healing, and promoting overall skin rejuvenation. Different colours of light are used to target specific skin concerns.

  • LED light therapy is considered suitable for all skin types and tones. It is a non-invasive and gentle treatment that does not produce heat or UV radiation, making it suitable for sensitive skin.

  • The number of LED light therapy sessions needed to see results can vary based on individual skin concerns. Some individuals may see improvements after a single session, but a series of treatments is often recommended for optimal results.

  • LED light therapy is a painless treatment and is often described as feeling relaxing and soothing. The light wavelengths used in the treatment do not produce any heat or discomfort during the session.

  • There is no downtime after an LED light therapy session. Most individuals can resume their regular activities immediately after the treatment.

Skin Treatments - Medical Grade Peel

Medical Grade Peels

Medical grade peels are professional skincare treatments that use a combination of exfoliating agents, such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and trichloroacetic acid (TCA), to address various skin concerns. These peels can help improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.

  • Improves skin texture and tone

  • Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

  • Minimises the appearance of pores

  • Addresses hyperpigmentation and sun damage

  • Promotes overall skin rejuvenation

  • Medical grade peels work by applying a chemical solution to the skin to remove the outermost layers, promoting exfoliation and shedding of dead skin cells. This process stimulates the production of new skin cells, leading to smoother, more radiant skin.

  • The downtime after a medical grade peel can vary depending on the depth and intensity of the peel. Superficial peels usually have minimal downtime, with some redness and flaking, while medium to deep peels may require several days to a week of downtime as the skin peels and heals.

  • The number of medical grade peel treatments needed to see results depends on individual skin concerns and the type of peel being used. A series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results, and maintenance treatments may be necessary to sustain the benefits.

Fat Cavitation

Say goodbye to stubborn fat deposits and hello to smoother, more contoured curves — all without surgery or downtime. At Cosmetics by the Beach, we use the UltraLUX Pro by The Global Beauty Group, a cutting-edge aesthetic device combining ultrasound cavitation and radio frequency technology to deliver comfortable, reliable and non-invasive body sculpting.

Target Problem Areas: Abdomen, thighs, arms, hips, flanks (“love handles”) and more.

Smoother Silhouette: Contour and slim with visible results in just a few sessions.

Collagen Boost: The integrated radio frequency also stimulates collagen production, tightening and rejuvenating the skin.

Fast + Comfortable: Each session takes approximately 20–40 minutes.

  • Fat cavitation, also known as ultrasound lipolysis, is a body contouring treatment that targets localised fat pockets using low-frequency ultrasound waves. These waves break down fat cells beneath the skin, which are then naturally metabolised and eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system.

  • Its advanced ultrasonic technology allows for precise, customisable treatments across different body areas, with added benefits such as:

    • Non-invasive fat reduction

    • Improved skin tone and firmness

    • Cellulite smoothing

    • Suitable for all skin types

    • No pain or downtime

  • Fat cavitation is ideal for individuals close to their goal weight who want to target stubborn fat areas that are resistant to diet and exercise. It’s not suitable for significant weight loss or those with certain medical conditions. A consultation is always recommended.

  • Fat cells treated with ultrasound are permanently destroyed. However, maintaining results depends on a balanced lifestyle. A healthy diet and regular physical activity help prevent new fat accumulation.

  • Results vary depending on individual goals and body types. Most clients see noticeable improvement after 4–6 sessions, with optimal results achieved in 8–10 sessions.

  • The treatment is painless and comfortable. You may feel a warm sensation and hear a mild buzzing sound due to the ultrasound — both are completely normal.

hair reduction

Tired of shaving, waxing, or plucking? Experience long-lasting smoothness with IPL hair reduction powered by the advanced UltraLUX Pro system — a non-invasive, clinically-proven treatment that offers effective results for silky, hair-free skin.

At Cosmetics by the Beach, we use the UltraLUX Pro from The Global Beauty Group, one of Australia’s most trusted aesthetic platforms, to reduce unwanted hair across the face and body.

  • Long-term reduction in unwanted hair

  • Safe for most skin types (Fitzpatrick I–V)

  • Large treatment areas completed quickly

  • Minimal discomfort and no downtime

  • Targets coarse and fine hairs effectively

    • Legs

    • Underarms

    • Bikini line & Brazilian

    • Back & chest

    • Arms

    • Face (upper lip, chin, cheeks)

  • IPL uses a broad spectrum of light while laser uses a single wavelength. The UltraLUX Pro’s advanced IPL system is highly customisable and can treat larger areas more efficiently. It’s an ideal, cost-effective alternative to laser for many clients.

  • IPL significantly reduces hair growth. While individual results vary, most clients achieve 80–90% permanent hair reduction after a course of treatments. Occasional maintenance sessions may be needed.

  • On average, 6–10 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart are recommended. The exact number depends on the treatment area, hair density, and your individual response to the light.

  • The UltraLUX Pro is designed with comfort in mind. Most clients describe the sensation as a warm snap or flick of a rubber band. The handpiece is equipped with advanced cooling to keep the skin comfortable throughout treatment.

  • The UltraLUX Pro is suitable for most skin tones, especially types I–V on the Fitzpatrick Scale. A consultation and patch test will ensure the treatment is safe and effective for your unique skin and hair profile.

  • IPL hair reduction is non-invasive, so you can resume normal activities right away. Mild redness or sensitivity may occur but typically subsides within a few hours.

  • IPL is works best on dark hair with high melanin. It may not be suitable for blonde, red, or grey hairs, which contain less pigment. We’ll assess your hair type during your consultation.

  • Yes! In fact, shaving is recommended. However, avoid waxing, plucking, or epilation, which remove the hair root and disrupt the IPL process.

vascular concerns

Bothered by facial redness, spider veins, or broken capillaries? Discover a comfortable non-invasive solution with IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy using the cutting-edge UltraLUX Pro, designed to effectively reduce visible vascular concerns and restore a clearer, more even complexion.

At Cosmetics by the Beach, we use the trusted UltraLUX Pro system by The Global Beauty Group, one of Australia’s leading aesthetic platforms, to deliver advanced skin rejuvenation for vascular irregularities, all without needles or downtime.

  • Facial redness

  • Broken capillaries

  • Spider veins

  • Rosacea-related flushing

  • Telangiectasia (visible blood vessels)

  • IPL uses controlled pulses of light that are selectively absorbed by oxyhemoglobin in the blood vessels. This light energy gently heats and coagulates the targeted vessels without damaging the surrounding tissue. Over time, the treated vessels are safely reabsorbed by the body, visibly reducing:

    • Facial redness

    • Broken capillaries

    • Spider veins

    • Rosacea-related flushing

    • Telangiectasia (visible blood vessels)

    • Tailored wavelength filters for vascular precision

    • Gentle and non-invasive

    • Suitable for face, neck, chest, and body

    • Minimal discomfort, no downtime

    The UltraLUX Pro allows us to customise settings for your specific skin tone and vascular type, improving both comfort and results.

  • IPL can treat a range of vascular concerns including facial capillaries, redness, rosacea flushing, spider veins, and broken vessels on the face and upper body. It's especially suitable for people with fair to medium skin tones.

  • Most clients find the treatment very tolerable, describing the sensation as a light snap or warmth on the skin. The UltraLUX Pro handpiece features cooling technology to enhance comfort.

  • While some improvement may be seen after 1–2 sessions, most clients require a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart for optimal, long-lasting results.

  • There is minimal to no downtime. You can resume daily activities immediately. Mild redness or warmth may occur post-treatment, but this typically subsides within a few hours.

  • Many clients notice a visible improvement within a few days, with continued fading of vessels over several weeks as the body clears them. Full results become more apparent after the full course of treatments.

  • Treated vessels are permanently collapsed, but new vessels can form over time due to factors like sun exposure or genetics. Occasional maintenance treatments may be recommended.

  • Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and retinol products for 1–2 weeks before and after treatment. We also recommend using a broad-spectrum SPF to protect your results.

pigmentation

Uneven skin tone? Sun spots? Age spots? Reclaim your glow with IPL skin rejuvenation for pigmentation using the state-of-the-art UltraLUX Pro. This non-invasive treatment safely targets unwanted pigmentation to reveal clearer, more radiant, and evenly toned skin — with no downtime.

At Cosmetics by the Beach, we use the UltraLUX Pro, an advanced, medical-grade IPL device by The Global Beauty Group. Trusted by Australian clinics, it delivers targeted energy to treat pigmented lesions on the face and body.

  • Sun spots and freckles

  • Age spots

  • Hyperpigmentation

  • Melasma (mild cases)

  • Uneven skin tone

  • Post-inflammatory pigmentation (e.g. from acne)

  • IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) delivers broad-spectrum light into the skin, where it is absorbed by the excess melanin in pigmented lesions. The light heats and breaks down the pigment, which is then naturally removed by the body’s lymphatic system. Over time, dark spots fade, and skin becomes brighter and more even-toned.

    The UltraLUX Pro features specialised filters and settings to precisely target pigment while protecting surrounding skin — ensuring comfortable treatments and reliable results across a range of skin types.

    • Non-invasive with minimal discomfort

    • Fast treatments, minimal downtime

    • Visibly reduces dark spots and sun damage

    • Can treat face, hands, neck, décolletage, and body

    • Stimulates collagen for added skin rejuvenation

  • IPL treats sun spots, freckles, age spots, and general uneven tone. It can also help reduce mild melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, depending on your skin type and condition.

  • Most clients see visible improvement after 2–3 sessions, with optimal results achieved in 4–6 treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart. The number of sessions depends on your skin condition and the depth of pigmentation.

  • IPL is most suited tor lighter to medium skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–III). For deeper skin tones, alternate treatments may be recommended. A thorough consultation and patch test will help determine suitability.

  • You may feel a quick snap or warmth on the skin, similar to a rubber band flick. The UltraLUX Pro’s cooling handpiece helps reduce discomfort, and most clients find the treatment very tolerable.

  • There’s no major downtime. Mild redness or warmth may appear for a few hours. Dark spots may temporarily darken before fading and flaking off over the following days — a normal and expected part of the process.

  • IPL breaks down existing pigment, but new pigmentation can form due to sun exposure, aging, or hormonal factors. Long-term results are best maintained with sunscreen, good skincare, and occasional maintenance treatments.

ipl for acne

Struggling with persistent acne or post-acne marks? IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy offers a gentle, non-invasive way to target acne at the source while calming inflammation and restoring skin clarity. At Cosmetics by the Beach, we use the advanced UltraLUX Pro IPL system by The Global Beauty Group, trusted by skin professionals across Australia for its results and safety.

The UltraLUX Pro combines cutting-edge technology with medical-grade performance to reduce acne-causing bacteria and inflammation, helping you achieve a calmer, clearer, and more confident complexion.

  • IPL emits broad-spectrum light that penetrates the skin and targets the acne-causing bacteria (P. acnes). It also reduces inflammation and redness, helping to clear existing breakouts while preventing future ones.

  • IPL can be suitable for mild to moderate inflammatory acne. For deep cystic or severe hormonal acne, we may recommend a combination approach or refer you to a dermatologist. A consultation will help determine the best course of action.

  • Most clients see visible improvements after 3–4 treatments, with a full course typically requiring 6–8 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your skin type and severity of acne.

  • IPL is suitable for reducing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (red or dark marks left by acne). For deeper textural scarring (like pitted scars), alternative or complementary treatments may be recommended.

  • Most clients experience only mild warmth or a quick, gentle snap sensation. The UltraLUX Pro’s integrated cooling system keeps skin comfortable during treatment.

  • IPL for acne is non-invasive with little to no downtime. You may experience slight redness, but this usually resolves within a few hours.

  • Absolutely! IPL is ideal for acne on the face, chest, shoulders, and back — all common breakout areas.

  • IPL is ideal for those with mild to moderate acne and lighter skin types (Fitzpatrick I–III). A consultation is required to assess your skin and determine if IPL is right for you.

rf skin tightening

Looking to tighten loose skin, smooth fine lines, or enhance facial contours — without surgery or downtime? Radio Frequency (RF) skin tightening with the advanced UltraLUX Pro is a non-invasive solution to rejuvenate, firm and refresh your skin from the inside out.

At Cosmetics by the Beach, we use the UltraLUX Pro, a cutting-edge multi-technology platform from The Global Beauty Group, trusted by leading Australian clinics for its reliable, clinically-proven results in skin lifting, firming, and collagen stimulation.

  • Stimulates collagen and elastin production

  • RF skin tightening is suitable for:

    • Face (jawline, cheeks, under eyes, forehead)

    • Neck and décolletage

    • Abdomen

    • Upper arms

    • Thighs and buttocks

    • Knees and other areas of mild skin laxity

    • Non-surgical and non-invasive

    • Comfortable, relaxing treatment

    • Suitable for all skin types

      Progressive, long-lasting results

    • No downtime or recovery required

    • Can be combined with other treatments (e.g., IPL, cavitation)

  • RF energy heats the dermis (deep skin layer), stimulating collagen and elastin production. As collagen remodels and new fibres form, the skin becomes firmer, tighter, and smoother over time.

  • Most clients find RF skin tightening relaxing. You’ll feel a warm sensation as the handpiece glides over your skin. The UltraLUX Pro includes comfort-focused technology to keep heat levels gentle and comfortable.

  • A typical course includes 4–6 sessions spaced 1–2 weeks apart. Results develop gradually over several weeks, with ongoing improvement seen up to 3 months after your final session. Maintenance treatments every few months are recommended.

  • Some clients notice a subtle lift and smoothness after one treatment, but results are progressive. Collagen takes time to rebuild, so the best results appear over a series of treatments.

  • Yes! RF is colour-blind, meaning it’s suitable for all skin tones. It’s a great anti-ageing treatment for people of all complexions, including sensitive or mature skin.

  • You may experience mild redness, which typically fades within a few hours. You can return to normal activities straight after your appointment.

Tattoo Removal

Regret your ink? Whether it’s a faded design, an old decision, or you simply want a fresh canvas, Laser Tattoo Removal offers the most reliable, non-surgical method for removing unwanted tattoos. At Cosmetics by the Beach, we use medical-grade laser technology to fade and remove tattoos safely, with minimal discomfort and excellent results.

  • Clinically proven technology

  • Suitable for a wide range of tattoo colours, including black, red, blue, and green

  • Suitable for most skin tones

  • Minimal scarring risk when performed by trained professionals

  • Faster results with fewer sessions compared to IPL or dermabrasion

  • Most tattoos require 6–12 sessions, spaced 6–8 weeks apart. The number depends on the size, colour, age, depth, skin type, and ink density. We will provide a personalised plan after assessing your tattoo.

  • There is some discomfort, often compared to a hot rubber band snap. Treatments are quick, and we offer numbing cream to enhance comfort. Most clients tolerate the treatment well.

  • Black ink responds best, but modern laser systems also treat colours like red, blue, and green well. Some pastels and fluorescent inks may be more resistant but can still fade significantly with multiple sessions.

  • Most tattoos begin to fade after the first session, but full removal is gradual. The body needs time to process and eliminate the fragmented ink after each treatment.

  • Downtime is minimal. The treated area may be red, swollen, or scabbed for a few days. Avoid sun exposure, excessive sweating, and picking at the skin. We’ll provide complete aftercare instructions.

  • Laser tattoo removal is low-risk when performed correctly. Scarring is rare, but following aftercare is crucial to prevent infection or irritation.

  • Yes! Once your skin has healed and the ink is sufficiently cleared, you can safely tattoo over the area — perfect for clients preparing for a cover-up.
