Bliss skin & body

All facials, using Esthemax or Fleur de Mer skin care, are designed to meet your personal skin requirements. Relax, unwind and let your skin thank you.

Waxes are not recycled. Hot wax is used on facial and pubic areas. Strip wax is used on leg and arm areas. Skin is sanitised before treatment, and an antibacterial lotion is applied after to soothe, calm and minimise any skin reaction.

Electrolysis is the only proven method of permanent hair removal. A free consultation is compulsary and essential for all new clients to the salon. A treatment plan will be devised to suit your specific requirements and a test patch will be completed. Disposable probes are used for each treatment. This is a safe and effective way to rid yourself of unwanted hair in smaller areas.

Skin tags are commonly found on the neck, armpits, under the bust and sometimes in the groin area. They are small growths of skin that are pedunculated (elongated stalk attached to the body). Skin tags are treated successfully using advanced electrolysis. A fine needle is inserted into the base of the stalk of the skin tag and an electrical current is applied to cauterise the tissue. Within a few days, the skin tag will fall off. Sometimes a larger skin tag may require more than one treatment.

The type of hair, skin sensitivity, the amount and cause (heredity, hormonal, medications) help determine the number and length of treatments. Since hair is in several stages of growth, only the visible hair is treated at each point.

By adhering to a regular treatment schedule, you will achieve faster results than someone who has treatment sporadically. It is advisable to start by coming weekly or every two weeks in the beginning. As progress is made, you'll find your sessions becoming shorter and further apart.

Many clients are initially dismayed to find out the electrolysis is a process rather than an "instant fix". But remember that the time and money you spend on electrolysis is an investment in permanently removing unwanted hair. It's definitely worth the commitment if you hate that hair.

There may be some redness (erythema) and/or small welts that can last for varying times for each individual. Any irritation that you experience will be temporary. Tea tree lotion can be applied every 2-4hrs for the first 24hrs to help with calming of the skin and to assist in keeping the skin free from bacteria while the hair follicles are open. 

For clients who suffer from coldsores, there is a small chance the electrical current could trigger a coldsore to occur. This is not common but could happen.
