25.01.2022 When it comes to the health and integrity of your skin, dont let someone play guessing games with it. There are some things the human eye simply cant see so if your skin specialist isnt using technology like this, theyre guessing - plain and simple! Thats why weve invested in some of the best technology available - such as Observ (pictured). Observ is a skin imaging and diagnostic camera that not only removes a lot of guesswork and trial and error (which saves you a lo...t of time and money) but also ensures that we are on the right path and prescribing the correct products and treatments for your concerns. It may even help us catch some skin concerns before they become visible. As the saying goes - prevention is better than a cure. Observ also provides highly accurate and detailed before and after photos - so it keeps us honest. We cant hide anything. Each photo is taken in the exact same light, in the exact same position, each and every time. When you book in for your Skin Health Assessment (our comprehensive, in-depth and detailed skin consultation) Observ photos will be taken as a starting point/baseline. Every 3~ months we can take more photos, compare them side by side, and discuss the progress in person. Dont play guessing games with your skin. It will only waste your time and money. Visit a clinic that takes your skincare seriously. Get the right advice, the first time, with advanced technology to back it up.

23.01.2022 REOPENING - MONDAY 1ST JUNE That's right! Some great news came through this morning that as of 11.59pm on Sunday 31st of May, restrictions have been lifted for us. On that note, we will be re-opening the clinic from 10am on Monday 1st of June.... ONLINE BOOKINGS ARE OPEN NOW AND APPOINTMENTS CAN BE MADE VIA OUR WEBSITE - https://www.stellarskinbody.clinic If you're on our waitlist, you should have received a call from us by now. If not, you'll be receiving one VERY soon (we are working through the list) so we can get you book in at a time that suits. Alternatively, you're welcome to book online at your own convenience. You can also call us on 54001315.

23.01.2022 When you visit us for your laser treatments (or any treatment for that matter), you'll never have to worry about who's going to be looking after you. A personalised experience is what you'll get - from start to finish. We aren't an express service where the aim is to get you in and out as quickly as possible with as little care as possible. The practitioner that starts the journey with you will see it through to the end to ensure the very best results and experience.... You'll never have to worry about whether the next person you see is better or worse, relatable, caring, friendly and so on. All of those concerns disappear! So if you're tired of seeing a different practitioner every time. If you're not too keen on the 'unknown' experience you'll receive from one appointment to another. If you've had enough of the 'express' service you receive where you feel like just another number. Perhaps we're worth a visit!

23.01.2022 Laser Genesis The gold standard in non-ablative, pain free, no down time skin rejuventation. Perfect for targetting skin concerns such as:... Diffuse Redness Fine Lines & Wrinkles Ageing & Pigmentation Scarring Acne Scars Reducing Pore Size Improves Skin Texture Improves overall skin health If you're interested in learning more, feel free to contact us or book a Laser Consult if you're keen to get started right away!

23.01.2022 INTRO SPECIAL! For the month of July, purchase a course of peels (Buy 5, Get 1 Free) and you'll also receive a complimentary Post-Treatment Kit, Sanitiser Spray, and Vitamin B serum - valued at over $70.* How do I get started? It's super easy!... You need to book a Skin Consultation so that we can chat to you about your expectations and goals, and what you would ultimately like to achieve. It also helps us to determine suitability. We don't want to peeling barrier impaired, compromised skin after all. Photos will be taken with Observ so that we can accurately track progress and results. Remember, we are in the business of skin saving, not destroying - so we don't perform peels on anyone "just because we can". If we believe a peel is right for you, then you'll be recommended products to professionally and responsibly prepare your skin for the treatment. From there, it's usually a short 2-4 week wait before your first peel. What if I'm already on a skin program and/or using dermaviduals or Synergie? A Skin Consultation is still required but there shouldn't be much preparation involved. Good on you for taking such good care of your skin! We'll take some more photos with Observ and make sure your skin barrier is healthy, resilient and that a peel is actually suitable and beneficial. You should be able to book your first peel immediately post consult providing there are no issues we need to overcome first. * Strictly while allocated stock last.

22.01.2022 Acceler-A serum contains Synergie Skin's proprietary blend of 6% RetiGen complex. This essential night serum assists in regulating new cell production while reversing and preventing signs of ageing. This next generation Vitamin A is more bioavailable, potent, non-irritating and stable than traditional retinoid (Vitamin A) serums. A KEY INGREDIENT - Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR). HPR is a so-called retinoic acid ester, meaning that it's directly related to retinoic acid ...- the only form of Vitamin A that effects change (our skin cells can interpret and utilise). Other forms of retinoids (Vitamin A) have to be converted by our metabolic machinery in order to do something and with each conversion, efficacy is lost. That's not the case with HPR as it binds directly to the retinoid receptors of the skin cells to work its skincare magic. HPR is said to be similarly active as retinoic acid (no conversion needed) but without the irritation/side effects associated with retinoic acid. KEY BENEFITS ACCELER-A Increases skin cell proliferation and turnover to refine and smooth texture. Addresses sun damage by reversing and preventing UV induced genetic errors. Regulates melanogenesis to address hyperpigmentation, resulting in a bright and even skin tone. Regulates oil production to reduce blemishes and enlarged pores. Stimulates collagen and reduces its degradation by increasing dermal thickness, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. SYNERGIE SKIN - 100% Australian made, owned, formulated and located right here in Melbourne Australia.

21.01.2022 On June 1st we re-opened after a little over 2 months of being closed due to COVID-19. We don't usually open Monday's but we decided to open on June 1st (and 8th) and do a couple of 6 day weeks to ensure we could see as many clients as possible - and what an incredibly busy and equally rewarding 2 weeks it has been. From the moment we announced we were reopening, our calendar has been back-to-back every day and appointments are still coming in for the weeks ahead. Now more th...an ever its so important to book your appointments in advance. The support you've shown us and our local small business has been nothing short of exceptional - and we've loved seeing each and every one of you. We wouldn't still be here if it wasn't for the trust youve placed in us and your ongoing support. It's been wonderful to see and talk to everyone face to face again. We only hope that it continues and there is no need to go backwards. THANK YOU! We are taking the next 3 days off (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday), returning Wednesday 17th at 10am whereby our new working week and open hours will begin. In case you haven't seen yet, we will be closed on Monday and Tuesday moving forward - opening from Wednesday to Sunday instead (yes, Sunday)! Alysia Chick Naturopath is now also working from within our clinic every Tuesday and Thursday. We will be working closely with Alysia to further enhance many of our skin consultations and skincare journeys to ensure you get the absolute best Bendigo has to offer.

20.01.2022 Sydney based Dermatologist Dr Annika Smith, has a special interest in skin cancer diagnostics, management and prevention. Here she shares her top 5 tips for Summer: #1. Make these 5 elements your friends over summer: Sunscreen A broad brimmed hat... Sunglasses Sun protective clothing Shade (and avoiding sun during the peak UV periods in the middle of the day). #2. The best sunscreen is the one you will use TIP: Don’t rely on makeup to have the appropriate SPF or broad-spectrum protection needed. It is always best to wear sunscreen under makeup. #3. Don’t forget your eyes When choosing sunglasses, ensure they meet the Australian Standard for eye protection #4. Tanned skin is essentially a sign of distressed skin Tanned skin signals DNA damage to the skin cells which can serve as a precursor to skin cancer. #5. Know the skin you are in Regularly survey your skin (around once a month), be on the lookout for anything new or changing and get it seen to promptly by a trained medical professional, whether this be your GP or Dermatologist.

19.01.2022 Introducing AnteAGE This is a product we’ve been eyeing off for quite some time - and it really doesn’t get much more advanced than this. AnteAGE products are powered by the proteins (growth factors and cytokines) harvested from the adult human Bone Marrow Stem Cells (BMSC) from paid, extremely healthy, volunteer donors.... The BMSC is the master healing cell in the entire human body and it’s responsible for ALL controlled healing from the moment we’re born until the day we die. It is the only cell that will NATURALLY release a powerful payload of pro-healing, regenerative, and ANTI-INFLAMMATORY proteins. This is its predetermined genetic destiny! These can have a significantly huge impact on your skin - helping to bring it back to a more youthful state. In comparison to Fibroblast Cells which are mighty in their ability to produce collagen, they do NOT produce a lot of growth factors, and the ones they do produce tend to lean inflammatory. This is 20+ year old first generation growth factor technology. Adipose Stem Cells do produce a ton of growth factors, but they’re predominantly INFLAMMATORY, plus they release metabolically active hormones linked heavily to disease. The risks and safety concerns have not been fully elucidated, but a growing body of scientists (globally) are raising red flags. What is the difference between human and plant stem cells? Stay tuned! Will we provide more information on this topic in the coming days.

This is to ensure the very best in health and safety for all clients. More info: https://www.stellarskinbody.clinic/laser/

15.01.2022 Toxic Skincare - does it really exist? There are a lot of skincare brands out there that play on fear. They want you to believe (or dare we say need you to believe) that every other product on the market contains harmful, toxic and dangerous chemicals (ingredients) that will somehow find their way into your bloodstream, cause cancer, may kill you, and so on. There are some outrageous claims being made and it unfortunately usually stems from the all natural (green beauty) ...skincare lines of the world although the cosmeceutical brands arent exempt mind you. We have no issue with the natural alternatives - we use them ourselves. But the marketing behind them has a lot to answer for. In short, there is no such a thing as "toxic skincare". The term shouldn't be allowed. You can read more about it on our blog: https://www.stellarskinbody.clinic//toxic-skincare-does-i/ Let us know your thoughts. :)

14.01.2022 We don't usually post before and after photos but we've had a few clients a little sceptical about how effective Laser Hair Removal really is. This before and after should help put your mind at ease... These are the results of a SINGLE Laser Hair Removal session. Both photos taken on the same day - back of each legs - about 4-5 weeks post treatment. The left photo shows a patch of hair (regrowth after 4-5 weeks that we didn't touch with the laser) and clearly highlights the s...ignificant reduction in hair when compared to the surrounding area that was treated with the laser as well as the right photo where no patch was left (the entire leg was treated). Just one more treatment to go and this client probably wont shaving or waxing for perhaps the next 6+ months or more. This is just one example of many highlighting the results that are possible. If you're like so many clients we've treated so far that are prime candidates for laser hair removal that haven't received results like this, then it's time you book that Laser Consultation with us so that we can get you the results you deserve!

14.01.2022 Effective from midnight this coming Wednesday, we will need close again as per government directives. To our knowledge, this is for a minimum of 6 weeks. We have opened up Tuesday and will attempt to move as many appointments forward as possible. The GOOD NEWS:... Skin Consultations will be moved to online video (complimentary) - we're still hear to support both existing and new clients throughout their skin journey. Free contactless delivery will be available on all product purchases within the Bendigo area. These will be delivered everyday from 3pm. We can post them to you otherwise (or if you'd prefer). Truly bespoke home facial kits will be available to purchase later this week. Please give us a call and we can "custom make" every aspect of your at home facial from over 40+ ingredients. Please note - our skincare brand partners dont allow us to sell certain products online. Although this may seem like an inconvenience, its actually a great thing as we can make sure youre purchasing the correct products for your skin (no time or money wasting). Please contact us by live chat, phone or email to order and we'll get the products out to you ASAP. In addition, this will give us an opportunity to work on many of the great things we've got planned behind the scenes (there's lots happening) - further improving on the already Stellar experience you've come to love and expect. Stay tuned! So although we are closed, we are still here for you. Please get in contact with us if you need us. :) https://www.premier.vic.gov.au/statement-changes-regional-r

14.01.2022 Dermiotic is a lightweight pre-serum elixir that boosts the skins resistance to physical and chemical aggressors by tackling the underlying causes of acne, ageing, sun damage and sensitivity, rather than merely masking them. Suitable for all skin types, it assists in relieving symptoms of skin stress, such as dullness, irritation and redness, and is our substitute for traditional toner. The probiotic lysate, together with the prebiotic skin nutrition, restores skin balance o...f beneficial and harmful bacteria, and prevents the triggers of skin inflammation. KEY BENEFITS Prebiotic (Alpha-glucan oligosaccharide): A nutrient source for the good bacteria on the skin whilst inhibiting the growth of harmful skin bacteria Improves the barrier strength of the skin and amplifies the positive probiotic effects on the skin Probiotic complex (Bifida ferment lysate, lactose, milk nutrient complex): Provides the optimal environment for skin balance and cell processes Enhances blood flow, promotes healthy vessels for transfer of skin nutrients and removal of toxins Relieves symptoms of skin stress including redness, irritation and environmental damage Reduces water loss and dermal damage to collagen and elastin for a more hydrated, firmer and more resilient skin

13.01.2022 Introducing Synergie Skin We've been searching for another skincare range for a little while now and COVID-19 shutdown gave us the opportunity to finalise everything. As you know, we are very particular about what brands/products we bring into the clinic so you can be sure you're getting something of the highest quality. It's not just another product you can find in every clinic or widely available online.... It needed to align with our cores values and the way we treat skin conditions. So it's important we do our research, due diligence and select products backed by science and research. Bringing in another skincare line 'just because we can' doesn't help anyone - especially you. How does Synergie help you and us? We use Synergie as a "step-up" from dermaviduals and to deliver more advanced skin treatments when and where needed. The higher concentrations of key ingredients such as Vitamin A, B and C help to further improve and accelerate results, while unique products like Luciderm and Dermiotic set it apart from many others. Synergie is 100% vertically integrated and 100% Australian. Formulations are tested and developed in Melbourne, Australia. Afterwards, they are manufactured, packaged, labelled, and dispatched in an adjacent warehouse. Having all operations under the one roof allows for careful control for each element of production, from concept to shipment. Founded in 2005, Synergie Skin is an internationally recognised company, widely regarded by cosmetic medical practitioners and skin clinicians as their preferred cosmeceutical range. All products are formulated by biological scientist and cosmetic chemist Terri Vinson (BSc. DipFormChem. DipEd. ASCC). Over the coming weeks, we will run through a few key products from the Syerngie and introduce you to some world-leading, ground breaking ingredients that effect real change. We love it... and we are confident you will too.

13.01.2022 IPL LASER HAIR REMOVAL... there is no such thing! It’s either IPL Hair Removal, or it’s Laser Hair Removal - it can not be IPL Laser Hair Removal. We recently had a chat with a client that was under the impression they were receiving laser hair removal. Not happy with the results or convinced they were getting what they thought they were paying for, they’ve come to us.... During their consultation, we confirmed their suspicions. They were not receiving Laser. IPL and Laser are two very different technologies. Laser handpieces are generally long and skinny with a circular laser beam emitting from the end. The light is visible at all times. IPL/SHR handpieces are quite large/bulky and often shaped a little like an oval/circle. The light source is long, rectangular and not always visible until the flash occurs. Lasers are monochromatic - they emit a single wavelength of highly targeted, concentrated light. It specifically targets the pigment in the hair follicle. Lasers can be configured on the fly to work with particular hair colours and skin tones. They can be safely used on dark skin. IPL is NOT monochromatic - they emit a broad spectrum of light (like a light bulb). This results in only some of the light targeting the hair. They are not safe to use on dark skin. Why does it even matter? Lasers are the gold standard of hair removal. While you may get some results with IPL (or SHR for that matter), it could take substantially longer to achieve. IPL has its place - but marketing it as something it’s not is really poor practice.

13.01.2022 #SaveVicSkinClinics We’ve been patient, we’ve supported the process, we understand that it takes time. That patience, that support and that understanding is fading very quickly. We are absolutely ecstatic that businesses across the state, big and small across all industries, in Metro Melbourne and Regional are opening once again and begin to rebuild.... Unfortunately for us and many like us, reopening is still a struggle. Although we are allowed to open, we are not permitted to remove masks. This is devastating considering upwards of 80% of our services involves treating the face. There is no evidence, no science, no data, and no justification for this restriction. The "science and data" that apparently drives these decisions does not exist in any capacity. All attempts to reach someone for answers have failed. Even the Health Minister when questioned about it on Radio yesterday skipped over the topic almost immediately - giving no indication as to when we can remove them. Gyms are allowed to open and masks are NOT required. Cafes and Restaurants in Regional Vic can have up to 110 people, while Metro can have up to 70. NO masks required. You can hire an escort or get a sensual massage without a mask. You can get a beard trim without a mask. You can get cosmetic injectables on the lips without a mask. Big retail such as Kmart, Big W and JB Hifi are open yet NO contact tracing details are required. This means hundreds (potentially thousands) of people can pass through these stores every day picking up and touching items, trying on clothing, trying out the latest phones and tablets and not a single contact detail is required. But we and many like us can’t perform skin treatments (or even a lip wax for that matter) in a controlled environment, where full contact tracing details are taken, the practitioner wearing a mask at all times and some of the highest level of health and hygiene protocols in place. Premier, we ask that you reopen the professional beauty and aesthetic industry to full capacity. We welcome any DHHS directives to make this happen. We are COVID safe and ready!

12.01.2022 REOPENING TOMORROW! After just over 2 months of closure, we are ready to reopen as of June 1st. New branding, new treatments (Laser Hair, Vein and Pigment Removal), refreshed and bigger clinic. We also hope to have a new product launch in the coming weeks that will further enhance and support many of our existing treatments and clients.... In addition, we have a naturopath joining us two days a week that will help to take your skin goals to the next level - not to mention your everyday health and wellbeing. We will share more information about this 'very' soon. Our Rewards + Referrals program will also be launching soon. We are just in the final stages of trialling and testing to ensure it works as expected. We are very much looking forward to seeing you all from tomorrow. Thank you very much for all your support during this down time. We greatly appreciate it.

12.01.2022 G U T H E A L T H What you eat and drink can have a significant impact on your skin - including how it looks and feels. The gut-skin connection is something weve been practising for years and its great to see that many more clinics are starting to adopt the practice.... If youre experiencing skin concerns such as breakouts or acne, or even just want to improve the overall look and feel of your skin, the first place to start without spending a single dollar or stepping foot inside a skin clinic is to take a good look at what youre eating and drinking. Small changes can make a significant difference. For example (some tips) Fill up on fibre rich foods like fresh vegetables, fruits, beans and whole grains. Increase intake of EFAs (essential fatty acids) either by eating fatty fish like salmon and/or by supplementing with high quality fish oils like Nordic Naturals. If youre drinking a can of Coke or other soft drink everyday, cut it back to one every two days. If youre having 2 coffees a day, try having just one. If youre only drinking 1 litre of water a day, aim for 2. Reduce overall sugar intake. Be mindful of added sugar in things like yogurts, sauces and even cereals. If youd like to discuss your diet and nutrition in more detail, we recommend getting in contact with Alysia Chick Naturopath. Alysia is practising out of our clinic two days a week on a Tuesday and Thursday and is also available for online video consults. Weve partnered with Alysia to ensure we are delivering you the very best results possible. While we focus on your skin, Alysia can focus on your nutrition - ensuring you get a comprehensive, holistic, complete approach to skin health and overall wellbeing. See more

12.01.2022 We can treat all areas and all skin types - from fair to dark - safely and effectively and virtually pain free due to superior gold sapphire contact cooling. We've invested heavily in a state of the art, medical-grade laser from CUTERA - not IPL or SHR. Backed by the highest calibre of training and education endorsed by The Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery, you can be sure you're going to get the results you want.... In addition, our training and education is also endorsed by the Australian College of Nursing, the Government of Western Australia Radiological Council, the Tasmanian Government, and the Queensland Government. Why is Victoria not on that list? In Victoria, there are NO regulations whatsoever when it comes to using a laser or IPL device, or operating a laser or IPL business. This means that anybody can call themselves a laser therapist or specialist; or operate a laser or IPL device regardless of their experience, their knowledge of the skin, or their qualifications. We are advocates for the regulation of laser and IPL based devices and treatments within Victoria and other states to ensure safe and effective treatments for everyone. Why choose us? We intend to set the standards and raise the bar when it comes to laser based treatments in Bendigo and surrounding areas. Your treatment will be personalised and tailored to you - not a one size fits all solution that is slapped on everyone. You we will not be under-treated. Treatments take place every 6-8+ weeks not every 4 weeks like many clinics. This is to ensure we are targeting the hairs in the right growth phase resulting in better, faster, more effective results. We are not an express service. Youll never feel like just another number. You dont have to worry about being rushed in and out like you don't matter. You're more then just another number! We're not just another laser clinic. We are 'your' laser clinic - and we invite you to experience the difference! See more

10.01.2022 We've been hard at work these past few weeks - repainting and renovating. Out with the old and in with the new. Hopefully not to much longer until we can reopen. Laser Hair, Vein and Pigment removal, along with Laser Genesis will "finally" be available. We may even have a brand new product to launch as well.

10.01.2022 LightStim designs high-quality, easy-to-use, at-home devices that combine therapeutic light energy with patented technology to address your skin from within. Visibly improved, radiant, healthy-looking skin is what LightStim is all about. Just like plants, our skin and other body tissues have the ability to absorb light and convert it into energy. LightStim LED light therapy delivers light energy in a similar way plants absorb light energy from the sun. LightStim emits UV-free..., beneficial light energy to the skin. Each LightStim product uses different wavelengths, or colours of light. When this beneficial light is applied directly to the skin it can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, temporarily increase blood circulation, and may help treat mild to moderate acne. LightStim LED Light Therapy devices have been used and recommended by medical spas, aestheticians, dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and their clients for over a decade. Now you can experience the same professional strength treatment at home. FDA Cleared for the Entire Face LightStim for Wrinkles is FDA cleared to treat wrinkles on the entire face. You can treat your forehead, crow’s feet, cheeks, nasal labial folds, jawline, and even your lips. Clinically Proven Results In FDA clinical studies 100% of participants showed improvement in their fine lines and wrinkles in just 8 weeks. It's as simple as placing the Light gently against your skin and holding it in place for about 3 minutes. You can then move onto the next area. On the couch, while laying in bed, while sitting at your desk - if you've got access to a power outlet, you've got access to LightStim!

09.01.2022 Rewards + Referrals program is now live! We started planning this just prior to COVID-19 shutdown. The shutdown gave us a good opportunity to work on it and make sure it was ready for when we reopened. Rewards... On June 1st, we turned on the Rewards system and have been watching everyones points accrue over the past 3 weeks. Overall, we are very happy with how well its been working and have decided to go live with it effective immediately. How does it work? For every $1 you spend, youll earn 1 point. When you reach 1000 points, you'll receive a $50 voucher. That voucher can be used against future treatment or product purchases. Simple! Any points youve earned over the past 3 weeks will remain so for those that have visited since June 1st, youre off to a good start. Referrals Every time you refer a new client to us, you may earn 250 BONUS Rewards points (the equivalent of spending $250). You simply need to be a current client yourself that has visited us at least once in the past 12 months. The new client you refer to us needs to spend $35 or more during their first visit. Easy! We are looking at opportunities whereby you can earn more bonus points without spending a cent. As these are launched, we will be sure to let you know. More information can be found at https://www.stellarskinbody.clinic/rewards-referrals/

09.01.2022 B O D Y A C N E Acne can be one of the most challenging skin conditions to treat because so many things can contribute to it. It’s also a skin condition that can develop on other parts of the body such as the chest and back. Both women and men may experience this. It will often start in the early teens and continue through to the early 20’s. For most it will be mild and relatively easy to manage and treat but for others it can be severe and lead to further complications such... as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and scarring - both of which require a different line of treatment to resolve. Depending on the severity of those complications, deep peels and ablative laser/laser resurfacing may be your only options. When it comes to acne, especially in severe cases, you’re not just managing the ‘visible’ effects either it’s the emotional effects that need to be managed also. The best thing to do when acne starts to appear is to address it immediately! Don’t wait until it gets bad before taking action as the chances of complications increases significantly. Although there are many treatment options, it’s best to avoid the overnight, ‘promise the world’ options. As cheap and as enticing as some of them may sound, they rarely work (if at all), waste time and money, and do nothing to correctly manage the concern. Please reach out to us and we can guide you on the best path forward to properly manage the symptoms (what’s visible) as well as and most importantly, manage the cause (the underlying issue). This will ensure long-term results are the best they can be while also reducing the risks of further complications as noted above.

08.01.2022 REOPENING SOON! We've been getting a lot of requests for bookings and believe us, there is nothing we want more than to get you booked in, and to start seeing you all face to face again. This coming Sunday the government is set to announce all the information necessary to ensure we can "definitely" reopen and under what conditions. There will most likely be caveats!... Assuming all goes to plan, we will be reopening on Monday 14th of September at 10am. We have to wait until that is officially announced though. It may change, it may not - we just don't know. No one knows. Until we have this information, we don't want to take bookings in case we need to reschedule them. This will be an inconvenience for everyone. Keep an eye on our socials this coming Sunday when hopefully all will be revealed. WE SINCERELY THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE, SUPPORT AND UNDERSTANDING.

08.01.2022 As you can see, many capillaries and vessels will disappear instantly before your eyes. Others will take several treatments before optimal results are achieved. Overall it's a fast, effective, and virtually pain free way of eliminating and reducing vascular lesions. If you're interested in undergoing this treatment yourself, the first step is always a consultation. Its during the consult we'll discuss your goals and expectations and run through potential complications and contraindications, perform a patch test, and of course answer any questions you may have. It's fairly straightforward and for most clients, you can start receiving treatments 48-72 hours post consult.

08.01.2022 NEW PRODUCT! We're thrilled to introduce the dermaviduals EGCG Liposomes. EGCG stands for Epigallocatechin Gallate (which is why we've abbreviated it).

07.01.2022 Many capillaries and vessels will disappear instantly before your eyes. Others will take several treatments before optimal results are achieved. Overall it's a fast, effective, and virtually pain free way of eliminating and reducing vascular lesions. To ensure results are maintained, sunscreen is a must when going outside - regardless of weather conditions. A good skincare routine may also help to prevent future vascular concerns.... Did you know that "broken" capillaries aren't really broken? Stay tuned for our educational video coming soon that explains a little more about this. #laser #skincare #skinrejuventation

07.01.2022 Peels now available - for those that need them! With the introduction of Synergie Skin also comes the introduction of a number of peels that will help accelerate results and take your skin to another level. Our peels arent available to anyone and everyone on a walk-in, express like basis though. Youll need to come in for a consult first so that we can determine suitability and ensure correct preparation. Just because you want one isnt a good reason - and it would be unprof...essional and irresponsible of us to do it for that reason alone. We would rather turn you away then have you waste your time and money on something that is not suitable and/or may create further issues. We are in the business of skin saving, not destroying - and contrary to popular believe, a peel isn't the "magic potion" to all your skin concerns. A peel without correct preparation and post-care is useless, wastes time and money, and can create the very skin youre trying to avoid. For those reasons, we'd love to chat to you face to face - get to know you, your skin, and make sure that it's the correct and most suitable path to take. Find out more at https://www.stellarskinbody.clinic/skin-trea/facials-peels/

06.01.2022 Although we can't see you in person, we can still support your skin journey via online video consults or even just a chat on the phone. If you prefer, you can always email us well. :) Simply head on over to our website, tap on the "Book Online" button, select the "Skin + Lasers Consults" category and then either a 30 minute or 60 minute option. Whether you an existing client or never spoken to us before - both consult options are offered free during lockdown so there is no re...ason not to take advantage of it. We look forward to chatting to you soon!

05.01.2022 Since yesterday’s announcement by the government we've received many questions about when we are reopening. There is both good and bad news - so let us explain. Effective from Monday 14th, the state moves from the current Stages strategy and into the newly developed Roadmap strategy - which is essentially a number of Steps that will see our state reach a COVID Normal. THE GOOD NEWS... Beauty/personal care will now fall into line with Hairdressers at Step 3 of the Roadmap. This means that as of next week - assuming case numbers continue to fall and remain that way - we could be in a position to re-open. We will no longer need to wait until November 23rd as announced a week ago. THE BAD NEWS Unfortunately, even once you enter the treatment room and it’s just you and the clinician, you are not permitted to remove your mask. This means no facials, no peels, no micro needling, no laser genesis, no LED light therapy and so on. So while it’s great news for the industry as a whole, our business and many like ours continue to remain ‘heavily’ disadvantaged. While we do offer other services, these are but a small part of what we do. WE WILL STILL OPEN? Yes! We will still open and are definitely looking forward to seeing our wonderful clients that do receive other treatments. Having said that, the days/hours we open will be reduced - some days we may not open at all. As soon as we can reopen - as soon as we have a date - we will definitely let you know.

05.01.2022 We a very excited about the introduction of a new product line and more advanced treatments that will help take your skin to an entirely new level. It's been almost 6 months in the making and COVID-19 actually gave us the perfect opportunity we needed to work on the final stages. After testing and trialling many different options, we settled on a product line that is actually 100% founded, formulated and made... right here in Australia! As you know, we don't just stock anythi...ng and everything because we can. It needs to serve a purpose and provide solutions to problems. It needs to add value and produce real, quality results. So the search was long and hard. The founder and formulator of the product line also specialises in Immunology and Microbiology - so this especially resonated with us considering what we do and how we do it. We can't wait to launch it and we are very confident many clients will benefit greatly. Stay tuned for more information. Not long now!

04.01.2022 Laser/IPL Pigment Removal. Skipping this critical step prior to treatment may result in severe consequences! What is it? It's a skin check by a skin cancer doctor or dermatologist....

03.01.2022 M I C R O N E E D L I N G Is deeper better? Does my face need to be covered in blood? The answer to both is a very big NO! In virtually all cases, there is no benefit going any deeper than 0.5mm to 1mm - depending on the target site (concern being treated). This is known as the DEJ (Dermal Epidermal Junction). This is the area in the skin where the Epidermis meets the Dermis, and where all new Epidermal cells are born.... The deeper you go, the more inflammation you create and for no real benefit. The only time going deeper would be beneficial is when working with scarring - in which case we would be supporting you via appropriate per and post care. Skin Needling/Micro needling is another advanced treatment that has been ‘dumbed down’ and is grossly misunderstood and misused. There is much more to it than just stabbing you in the face with a few needles. It’s a treatment that can be performed by anyone, of any skill level, with little or no knowledge of the skin. Just like laser and IPL/SHR, if you’ve got the money to purchase the device, you’re apparently trained and educated enough to use it as well. As a result, we’ve discovered the average consumer now believes that needling is the same wherever you go. One clinic will be the same as another. Nothing could be further from the truth! If you’re interested in getting this highly effective treatment done, make sure you find a therapist that fully understands anatomy, physiology, and cellular biology, not to mention has plenty of experience. Otherwise you’re just wasting your money!

03.01.2022 EGCG Liposomes It's finally in clinic and available right now! EGCG stands for Epigallocatechin Gallate (which is why we've abbreviated it). It's a natural extract from the dried leaves of the camellia sinensis plant, commonly known as the tea plant. Unlike your run-of-the-mill green tea products, this serum extracts only Epigallocatechin-3-gallate from the plant to access the abundant healing properties.... EGCG stimulates the formation of filaggrin (a protein in the skin that has a main function of retaining water in the stratum corneum, the top layer of the skin) and Keratins (the outer cell layer contains keratin which makes the skin tough and water-repellent), resulting in a thick and stronger skin barrier. EGCG Liposomes have amazing anti-inflammatory & anti-ageing properties, as well as being a free radical blocker. It also... is a fantastic serum for skin conditions that cause irritation, redness & cracking skin, such as atopic dermatitis, radiation dermatitis, psoriasis, rosacea, acne & breakouts combats collagen loss (hello, anti-ageing!) helps with UV protection and treat photo-damaged skin supports the skins immune function encourages cellular regeneration, wound healing & scar revision Give us a call or send us an email or DM if you'd like to find out more about this product and if it's suitable for you.

02.01.2022 RE-OPENING 'THIS' THURSDAY 17TH OF SEPTEMBER FROM 10AM Premier Daniel Andrews announced this morning that Regional Vic will be moving to Step 3 of the roadmap effective from THIS coming Thursday 17th. This means... we can reopen - and so can many other Regional Victorian businesses! It's a small step, a safe step, but a responsible step to reaching some resemblance of normality again....

02.01.2022 There is no excuse for ignoring even the most basic form of PPE such as face masks and glasses when it comes to Micro-needling/Skin Needling. It's unacceptable, it highlights a complete lack of respect for health, hygiene and safety, and anyone performing such a treatment without such items (at a bare minimum) has a lot to answer for - especially when they refer to themselves as "experienced", "specialists" or "experts". REMEMBER - Micro-needling is NOT regulated (the same as... Laser and IPL/SHR). Anyone of any skill level can perform the treatment with ANY device (good or bad) regardless of training, qualifications or experience. Just because they posted a video or photo on social media of themselves performing the treatment DOES NOT equate to qualified, experienced, or whatever else they might want to call themselves. You can read more about the topic on our blog.

02.01.2022 Today is R U OK? Day - a national day of action that reminds us to check in on loved ones and people in our community, and ask Are you OK? Although we can't see you in person, we are still here for you and happy to chat about anything and everything. We've developed close relationships with many of our clients over the years - shared many stories, hugs, tears, laughter and much more. Just because we can't continue this in person doesn't mean it has to stop altogether. If you feel like chatting - whether a new client or existing - feel free to pick up the phone or send us a message.
