December Only Christmas Promotion

An elite skin treatment designed to maximise results and minimise expense.

PLASMA PEEL $129 (Usually $199)
December Exclusive: With complimentary Exosomes to boost recovery and results as a gift from Medacare for your valued support.

Exosomes are tiny messengers that tell your skin cells to repair, regenerate, and function better - helping treatments like Plasma Peel give faster, longer-lasting, and more noticeable results.

Can be performed as a single session, between other treatments to amplify results, or as a course of 6 sessions for progressive, cumulative optimal results.

This isn’t just resurfacing — it’s repair focused renewal

Why This Peel Is Different

Traditional peels rely on acids to break down the surface of the skin, forcing rapid shedding. While effective short term, they don’t address why the skin isn’t functioning optimally in the first place.

What “repair-focused” actually means:

Plasma energy delivers controlled energy to the skin that activates cellular repair pathways instead of wounding pathways, stimulates fibroblasts and keratinocytes without breaking down the barrier, enhances mitochondrial activity (ATP), improving the skin’s ability to repair itself, and modulates inflammation rather than triggering it

So the skin is encouraged to function better first, then renew.

How Plasma energy works:

Plasma is an ionised form of gas that delivers controlled energy to the skin, stimulating biological processes rather than chemically damaging tissue. When applied to the skin, plasma energy:

- Activates fibroblasts to support collagen and elastin production.
- Enhances mitochondrial energy (ATP), improving cellular repair and turnover.
- Modulates inflammation instead of triggering it.
- Strengthens the skin barrier while accelerating renewal.
- Improves cellular communication for more even pigmentation and texture

Rather than stripping the skin, plasma signals the skin to regenerate itself—making it ideal for sensitive, inflamed, ageing or relapse-prone skin.

The Result

- Smoother texture
- Brighter, more even tone
- Stronger barrier function
- Improved healing and long-term correction

This is a peel that goes beyond exfoliation. It resurfaces and regenerates — using your skin’s own biology.

What Exosomes are:

- Tiny extracellular vesicles released by cells (often stem cells or fibroblasts).
- Contain signalling molecules, including growth factors, cytokines, and microRNA.
- Act as cell-to-cell messengers, instructing recipient skin cells to repair, regenerate, and function better

How They Boost Treatment Results:

- Stimulate Skin Repair.
- Activate fibroblasts → more collagen and elastin production.
- Promote keratinocyte activity → faster epidermal renewal.
- Improve wound-healing pathways, reducing downtime
- Reduce chronic low-grade inflammation in the skin.
- Encourage regenerative rather than injury-driven healing
- Enhances cellular communication by telling skin cells how to behave: repair, regulate pigment, strengthen barrier.
- Coordinates multiple repair processes simultaneously
Improves longevity of results.
- Supports structural proteins and extracellular matrix → longer-lasting firmness, tone, and texture improvements

Synergistic with treatments like microneedling, plasma peels, or laser resurfacing

Why They Work Better Than Traditional Add-Ons:

Traditional serums or growth factors often remain on the surface; exosomes enter cells and trigger internal signalling

They don’t just mask damage—they directly activate repair pathways.

Introducing the Next Generation of Skin Regeneration

DERMAPEN MICRONEEDLING + EXOSOMES

Usually $599 → December Special $399 (Save $200)

Plus includes ALL procedural upgrades (MesoGlide, MesoPeel, Dermalux LED) - at no additional cost ($200+ worth of additional treatment)

This is newest and most advanced microneedling treatment, designed to regenerate skin by correcting how cells communicate, repair, and rebuild.

WHY MICRONEEDLING ALONE HAS ITS LIMITS

Microneedling works by creating controlled micro-injury, triggering the skin’s natural wound-healing response. This leads to:

➡ Growth factor release
➡ Collagen stimulation
➡ Improved texture and tone

However, microneedling alone relies entirely on the body’s existing signalling system.

If cellular communication is sluggish, disorganised, or damaged by age, inflammation, or environmental stress, the repair response can be slow or suboptimal.

In simple terms:
➡ Microneedling starts the repair process
➡ But it doesn’t control how well that repair occurs

WHY EXOSOME THERAPY CHANGES THE OUTCOME

Exosomes are microscopic messengers naturally used by cells to communicate instructions. They contain growth factors, peptides, lipids, and genetic signals that directly influence cell behaviour.

When exosomes are delivered immediately after microneedling:

✔ They override inefficient skin signalling
✔ They deliver clear instructions to cells
✔ They guide repair instead of leaving it to chance

Rather than relying on the skin to “figure it out,” exosomes direct keratinocytes, melanocytes, and fibroblasts to heal in a more organised, youthful way.

This results in:

✔Faster recovery and reduced inflammation
✔Higher-quality collagen formation
✔Improved pigmentation regulation
✔Stronger barrier repair
✔More visible and longer-lasting results

How the Combination Works

✔ Microneedling creates the stimulus and micro-channels
✔ Exosomes provide the biological instructions
✔ Procedural upgrades optimise the cellular environment

This creates a regenerative loop:
Stimulate → Signal → Supply → Recover → Strengthen

Every layer of skin is supported, not just the surface.

All Procedural Upgrades Included

To maximise the effect of exosomes, the christmas promotion include:

✔MesoPeel™ – Chemical stimulation to enhance cell turnover
✔MesoGlide™ – Targeted transdermal cellular nutrition
✔Dermalux LED – Low-level thermal activation (

ENZYME THERAPY "GLOW WITHOUT DOWNTIME"

Enzyme Therapy delivers natural, chemical-free exfoliation that instantly refreshes, brightens, and renews your skin - making it the ideal pre-Christmas skin boost.

Enzyme Therapy December Special $149
Includes a FREE Dermaviduals Lotion N (Worth $77)

Your Results:

✔ Instantly smoother, softer skin
✔ Deep-cleansed pores and reduced blemishes
✔ More even skin tone and refined texture
✔ Boosted collagen for better elasticity
✔ Gentle fading of pigmentation & scarring
✔ Healthier hydration and circulation
✔ Reduced inflammation for calmer, clearer skin

Perfect as a one-off revitalising facial, or even more powerful when repeated weekly, fortnightly, or monthly for long-term skin improvement.

WHY ENZYMES ARE DIFFERENT

Enzymes are natural biological catalysts that gently dissolve the bonds between old skin cells, clearing away dullness without irritation. They:

🌿 Improve cell turnover
🌿 Support the skin’s Natural Moisturising Factors (NMF)
🌿 Break down excess oils and congestion
🌿 Increase microcirculation for nourishment
🌿 Soften, smooth, and calm the skin
🌿 Promote long-term structural rejuvenation with consistent use

This makes Enzyme Therapy one of the safest and most effective treatments for restoring brightness, clarity, and balance—even for sensitive skin.

CORNEOTHERAPEUTIC BENEFITS

This treatment is also a true corneotherapy facial, working from the outside in to repair, restore, and rebuild the skin’s natural barrier. Instead of triggering inflammation (like many peels), it strengthens your skin’s intrinsic functions, laying the foundation for long-term skin health and visible radiance.

LOTION N

Lotion N feels like water, looks like milk, and sinks into the skin instantly without leaving an oily film. It’s enriched with essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are vital for smooth, soft, healthy skin—making it one of Dermaviduals’ most-loved formulations.

Dry or barrier-impaired skin needs higher oil content products to restore balance and correct fatty acid deficiencies. Lotion N helps:

✔ Regenerate and strengthen the natural skin barrier
✔ Prevent dry, dehydrated and neurodermatitic skin
✔ Support clearer skin by preventing impurities
✔ Improve dry adult acne (acne tarda), particularly in the “U-zone”

Your December treatment includes this beautiful product free—perfect for aftercare and boosting skin health after your Enzyme Therapy.

PLASMA PEEL + TRIAL KIT $199 (Save Over $200)

This is for those who want to do something meaningful for there skin.

I have opened up some late night and weekend appointments for this which can be booked online under Christmas Promotions.

The core of this treatment is a full face acid-free plasma peel. The Plasmage ionise's gases in the air to create a small electrical arc, similar to a tiny lightening bolt, which removes the outer layer of the skin and causes an instant contraction and tightening of skin fibres.

Combined with exosome therapy, this treatment will stimulate new cell development and activate the skins natural regenerative processes so all aspects of aging and damage are improved.

To further encourage improvement at home you must supply cells with all the essential building blocks they require in an amount adequate enough to improve the growth and productiveness of cells that directly effect skin structure formation and the physical condition of the skin, this is what Osmosis skincare is best known for.

INCLUDES:

A take home Osmosis Sensitive Trial Kit (Value $117) which includes there star products Rescue and StemFactor.

LOTION N

Lotion N feels like water, looks like milk and sinks into skin without leaving oily film. It is enriched with omega 3 and 6 that are vital for smooth, soft, healthy skin and for that reason it's one of Dermaviduals most popular products. Dry skin (and barrier disordered skin) requires products with high oil content to restore natural balance and treat fatty acid deficiencies. Lotion N can help regenerate the natural skin barrier and support the prevention of dry, dehydrated and neurodermatic skin. It is also recommended for the prevention of skin impurities and light forms of acne tarda.

HOW TO REINVENT AND MAINTAIN HEALTHY SKIN

Healthy skin is smooth, firm, evenly pigmented, well hydrated and free of damage, with an intact skin barrier defence system. The ideal skin rejuvenation program to achieve this needs to target 3 key cells (keratinocyte, melanocyte and fibroblast) and regulate there function.

Regulating cell function in order to optimise skin health, and therefore outward appearance requires at least two main points of intervention.

1). STIMULATION Increase cellular communication via growth factors and cytokines.

2). CONTRIBUTION Increase cellular nutrition.

In order to increase cellular communication for rejuvenation there must be a stimulus that manipulates cell function, for example the application of high dose retinoids or a procedure that causes controlled injury (i.e. physical, chemical, thermal). THIS STIMULATION MUST BE ADEQUATE enough to cause the release of growth factors which influence proliferation and differentiation of target cells, and cause the release of cytokines which are signalling molecules released by cells to communicate with other cells to tell cells what to do.

Second you must supply cells with all the essential building blocks they require (i.e. transdermal delivery of prescriptive solutions). THIS CONTRIBUTION MUST BE ADEQUATE enough to improve the growth and productiveness of cells that directly effect skin structure formation and the physical condition of the skin.

Microneedling is one a few treatments where with procedural upgrades we can address all of the above in one treatment including the delivery of retinoids, and targeting all three cells, to recover and maintain your appearance naturally.

+ MesoPeel™ (Chemical stimulus)

ILCSI FACIAL - AN ORGANIC HERBAL TREATMENT

A natural organic herbal treatment that will improve circulation, boost metabolism, detoxify your skin and deliver smooth glowing fresh looking skin.

The facial is based around the application of an AHA fruit pulp, where apple and grape extracts help to smooth and retexturise. A layer of thin Hessian is then placed over the skin if needed and the Paprika herbal treatment is applied over top. This is when it really starts to heat up, you feel hot but not uncomfortable. You can really feel your blood pumping. The mask stays on for 20 minutes.

The Paprika Herbal Treatment will cause the skin to become pinkish for about an hour post treatment. The results are amazing, your skin will feel soft, glowing and radiant.

This treatment is often prescribed for aging, acne, rosacea, inflammation or sensitive problematic skin as a desensitisation treatment and to flush problems from the skin so that is clearer, more youthful and healthy.

The Medacare Philosophy

A famous political prognosticator Nate Silver wrote a book called “The Signal and The Noise” with a chapter called “Becoming Less and Less and Less Wrong”. The purpose of this was to help understand we need to be clear about our assumptions, to always test them and improve them, especially in regards to health. This is so that over time we break down flawed framework, expose information we have accepted as true but is not, and in becoming less and less and less wrong, we can become more and more and more effective.

With the growth of research on the link between diet and skin disease, our understanding of these influences in dermatology and aesthetic medicine has grown. In a way science doesn't yet fully capture, nutrition has a significant role to play in treatment, driving every chemical reaction in our body, regulating both health and disease outcomes.

This is why Medacare has been established, to become more effective, specialising in research, education and treatment, through a wider perspective including diet, and in becoming less wrong, we can achieve daily for more people, healthier looking, better functioning skin for years to come.
