Skin Types

NORMAL SKIN

‘Normal’ is a term widely used to refer to well-balanced skin. The scientific term for well-balanced skin is eudermic. The T-zone (forehead, chin and nose) may be a bit oily, but overall sebum and moisture is balanced and the skin is neither too oily nor too dry. Normal skin has: fine, or barely visible pores good blood circulation a velvety, soft and smooth texture no or few imperfections and blemishes no severe sensitivity

Leaf & Lab Solutions Maintain your skin's natural balance with BalanceLab, featuring a prebiotic complex that supports your skin's healthy microbiome. The multi-molecular hyaluronic acid system provides comprehensive hydration at all levels, while organic aloe vera soothes and caffeine stimulates healthy circulation. For preventative care, AgeLab's peptide technology with Hexapeptide-11 stimulates collagen production by up to 40%, while the dual hyaluronic acid system ensures optimal hydration. Berry seed oils provide antioxidant protection that's 50x more potent than Vitamin E. https://www.leafandlab.com/collections/normal-skin

DRY SKIN

‘Dry’ is used to describe a skin type that produces less sebum than normal skin. As a result of the lack of sebum, dry skin lacks the lipids that it needs to retain moisture and build a protective shield against external influences. This leads to an impaired barrier function. Dry skin (Xerosis) exists in varying degrees of severity and in different forms that are not always clearly distinguishable. Significantly more women suffer from dry skin than men and all skin gets drier as it ages. Problems related to dry skin are a common complaint and account for 40% of visits to dermatologists.

BodyLab offers targeted relief with 5% urea for gentle exfoliation of dry, flaky skin while providing intense hydration. Panthenol (2%) supports barrier repair and reduces irritation. https://www.leafandlab.com/collections/dry-skin

SENSITIVE SKIN

Sensitive skin is sometimes referred to as a skin type, but it's possible to have oily and sensitive skin, or dry and sensitive skin for example. Sensitive skin is skin that is easily irritated by different factors that are generally tolerated by well-balanced skin, such as skin care products or high and low temperatures. It occurs when skin’s natural barrier function is compromised, causing water loss and allowing penetration of irritants. For some people, sensitive skin is a permanent condition, for others, sensitivity is triggered by certain internal and external factors. You may be able to determine what triggers skin sensitive and avoid certain ingredients or environmental factors. Symptoms are exacerbated by factors that facial skin is most exposed to, from the sun to some ingredients in cosmetics and cleansers. Sensitive skin may be itchy, red or feel like it's burning.

OILY SKIN

‘Oily’ is used to describe a skin type with heightened sebum production. An over production is known as seborrhea. Oily skin is common among adolescents and those aged under 30 years old, because it's linked to acne. Oily skin is caused by excessive fat production by sebaceous glands. This overproduction of sebum can be triggered by: genetics hormonal changes and imbalances medication stress comedogenic cosmetics (make-up products that cause irritation)

Kaolin clay absorbs excess oil while activated charcoal extracts impurities. Tea tree oil (3%) provides natural antibacterial action without over-drying, while organic argan oil prevents the barrier damage that can lead to increased oil production. BalanceLab helps regulate sebum production by supporting a healthy skin microbiome with prebiotics and probiotics, while caffeine helps improve circulation and reduce puffiness. https://www.leafandlab.com/collections/oily-skin

COMBINATION SKIN

Combination skin has characteristics of both dry and oily skin, because the distribution of sebaceous and sweat glands is not homogeneous. In combination skin the skin types vary in the T-zone and the cheeks. The so-called T-zone can differ substantially – from a very slim zone to an extended area. Characteristics of combination skin include: an oily T-zone (forehead, chin and nose) with shiny skin enlarged pores in this area, or pores that look larger than normal, perhaps with some impurities blackheads normal to dry cheeks

AGEING

This photodamage classification system was developed by Dr. Richard Glogau and is designed to help you determine your skin type. This scale is widely used by dermatologists and plastic surgeons to successfully match patients with the appropriate therapy for the specific grade of photoaging that affects the patient. G1 Mild 20s–30s No Wrinkles Early photoageing Minimal to no wrinkling or discolouration No keratosis Minimal wrinkles Minimal or no make-up needed G2 Moderate 30s-40s Wrinkles in Motion Moderate photoageing “Dynamic” Wrinkling as skin moves “Static” Slight parallel lines begin to appear Slight fine lines near the eyes & mouth Early brown spots visible Keratoses palpable but not visible in Motion G3 Advanced 40s-50s Wrinkles at Rest Advanced photoageing Visible wrinkles all the time Obvious discolourations Visible keratosis and telangiectasia Generally uses foundation to even out complexion G4 Serve 60s + Only Wrinkles Severe photoageing Yellow/grey skin colour – lacklustre Wrinkles throughout entire facial region

Below are the most common concerns people have with aging the treatments we find give the best results: Fine lines: Leaf & Lab Clean Facials Dermalogica PRO skin treatments (PRO firm, LuminFusion) Korean Facial Treatments (C02 Carboxy, Vtox Face Lifting Treatment, S Amino Treatment) Skin Peels (All levels of skin peels) Advanced Microneedling (level 1 or level 3 polynucleotide) Plasma Fine Line Treatment PlasmaChanneling Treatment Radio Frequency Hydra Facial with Oxygen Infusion Facial acupuncture Deeper lines and wrinkles: Skin Boosters Mesotherapy Facial acupuncture Plasma Pen Advanced Microneedling (level 3 polynucleotide or level 5 exosomes) Korean Facial Treatments (C02 Carboxy, Vtox Face Lifting Treatment, S Amino Treatment) PlasmaChanneling Treatment Lax Skin: PulseLift Radio Frequency Skin Boosters Plasma Pen PlasmaChanneling Treatment Cold Plasma Facial acupuncture Advanced Microneedling (level 3 polynucleotide or level 5 exosomes) Lax Muscles: PulseLift PlasmaChanneling Treatment CACI Age spots: Skin Peels (MelanoPro Peel System) Cryopen Nd: YAG Laser Thread Veins: Advanced Electrolysis Plasma Pen

Leaf & Lab Solutions: AgeLab represents advanced anti-ageing science with clinically-proven peptides. Hexapeptide-11 is a synthetic peptide that stimulates collagen production by up to 40%, while dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline promotes both collagen production and skin repair at the cellular level. The dual hyaluronic acid system addresses hydration at multiple levels - high molecular weight for immediate surface plumping and low molecular weight for deep tissue hydration. Ginkgo biloba extract improves microcirculation, delivering nutrients more effectively to skin cells. Bakuchiol provides retinol-like benefits without irritation, while berry seed oils offer antioxidant protection 50x more potent than Vitamin E. This comprehensive approach addresses all aspects of skin ageing. https://www.leafandlab.com/collections/ageing-skin

PIGMENTATION

Common forms of hyperpigmentation include: Ephelides (freckles): dark spots on the skin comprising of the protein melanin distinctly associated with sun exposure. Best Treatment: Cryopen Ng: YAG Laser Lentigines (sun, age, or liver spots): Harmless patch of darkened skin. Caused from exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Very common, especially in people over the age of 40 years. Best Treatments: Cryopen Skin Peels Ng: YAG Laser Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (pigmentation after trauma): More common in skin types IV - VI, inflammation due to trauma, acne or irritation Best Treatments: Advanced Microneedling (level 3 polynucleotide) Skin Peels (Dermalogica MelanoPro, Algae Spicule Peel) ISOV V-Grape Treatment (Kroean Skin Treatment) Ng: YAG Laser Melasma/Chloasma (hormonal pigmentation): Symmetrical patches most often on the cheeks, chin, upper lip and forehead Best Treatments: Advanced Microneedling (level 3 polynucleotide) Skin Peels (Dermalogica MelanoPro, Algae Spicule Peel) Facultative Pigment (uneven skin tone): Caused by exposure to ultraviolet rays (UVR) Best Treatments: Advanced Microneedling Skin Peels Carbon Facials ISOV V-Grape Treatment

Leaf & Lab Solutions: GlowLab targets pigmentation through multiple mechanisms. Alpha-arbutin (2%) is a proven tyrosinase inhibitor that specifically blocks melanin production without causing irritation. Niacinamide (5%) works differently by inhibiting melanosome transfer from melanocytes to surrounding skin cells. Bidens Pilosa extract provides natural tyrosinase inhibition, while Kakadu plum delivers the highest natural concentration of vitamin C for collagen support and antioxidant protection. Ferulic acid doubles the photoprotective effect and stabilizes vitamin C for maximum efficacy. Gentle lactic acid (1%) promotes cellular turnover to help fade existing pigmentation, while sea buckthorn oil provides 190+ bioactive compounds including rare omega-7 fatty acids for skin repair. https://www.leafandlab.com/collections/hyperpigmeation

DEHYDRATION

Dehydrated skin occurs when the protective uppermost layer of the skin, known as the stratum corneum, is lacking in moisture. Every day our skin loses water - it’s totally normal! When your skin loses more water than it needs, that’s when the signs of dehydration can start to show. While dry skin and dehydrated skin can share many of the same characteristics, such as tightness, roughness, flaking, scaling, redness and sensitivity, they are quite different skin concerns. Dryness refers to a skin type (lack of oil), and dehydration refers to a skin condition (lack of water) and they need to be treated quite differently. There are so many things that can cause dehydrated skin. Our faces get stripped of moisture by air conditioning, the weather, lack of sleep, not drinking enough water, caffeine, too-hot showers and skipping your gentle skincare routine. All skin types can become dehydrated - yes, even oily skin - because it's caused by a lack of water within the skin.

Being all skin types and conditions can suffer with dehydrated skin, it is best to treat the primary concern which in turn most treatments will deal with the dehydration at the same time. But if your primary concern is dehydration then the best treatments are: Hydra Facial with Oxygen Infusion Leaf & Lab Clean Facials Dermalogica PRO skin treatments (LuminFusion) C02 Carboxy Treatment Cold Plasma Treatment

Leaf & Lab Solutions: BalanceLab provides comprehensive hydration with multi-molecular hyaluronic acid that works at all skin levels. Unlike single-weight hyaluronic acid, this complex ensures both immediate surface hydration and long-term moisture retention. Betaine acts as a natural osmolyte, protecting cells from dehydration stress while maintaining optimal moisture balance. Organic glycerin draws moisture from the environment, while hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans provide enhanced penetration for deeper hydration. AgeLab complements this with its dual hyaluronic acid system and organic aloe vera that creates pathways for better ingredient absorption. https://www.leafandlab.com/collections/dehydrated-skin

ACNE

Acne is a disease that primarily affects adolescents. The epithelial cells that line the hair follicle become abnormally sticky. These cells clog the follicular orifice with sebum, a substance produced by the sebaceous gland. The main areas of involvement are the face, chest and back. Acne is the generic term for skin conditions characterized by a combination of the following symptoms: blackheads: (open comedones): small black or yellowish bumps that develop on the skin; they're not filled with dirt, but are black because the inner lining of the hair follicle produces pigmentation whiteheads: (closed comedones): have a similar appearance to blackheads, but maybe firmer papules: small red bumps that may feel tender or sore pustules: similar to papules, but have a white tip in the centre, caused by a build – up of pus nodules: large hard lumps that build up beneath the surface of the skin and can be painful cysts: the most severe type of spot caused by acne; they're large pus – filled lumps that look similar to boils and carry the greatest risk of causing permanent scarring

Acne Vulgarisis the term used to describe generalized acne. These verity of acne type and symptoms is often graded into 4 stages: GRADE I. Comedonal acne: Comedonal acne is non inflammatory involves blackheads and whiteheads Best Treatments: Carbon Laser Facial Skin Peels Advanced Microneedling with AKN Mesotherapy with add on skin peel or LED light therapy Dermalogica PRO skin treatments Leaf & Lab Clean Facials Cold Plasma Treatment GRADE II. Papulopustular acne: Inflamed blemish, reddish lesions that appear on the surface of your skin due to clogged pores Best Treatments: Carbon Laser Facial Skin Peels Advanced Microneedling with AKN Mesotherapy with add on skin peel or LED light therapy Cold Plasma Treatment Inflacure Healing Active GRADE III. Nodulocystic acne: Severe form of acne affecting characterised by multiple inflamed and uninflamed nodules and frequently, scars Best Treatments: Skin Peels Cold Plasma Treatment Inflacure Healing Active GRADE IV. Acne conglobate; acne fulminans: ulcerative form of acne with an acute onset and systemic symptoms. Requires pre treatment via a medical professional

Leaf & Lab Solutions: ClearLab addresses all aspects of acne formation. Salicylic acid (2%) penetrates deep into pores as a beta-hydroxy acid, dissolving the oil and dead skin cell buildup that creates blackheads and whiteheads. Tea tree oil (3%) provides natural antibacterial action specifically effective against P. acnes bacteria, while being gentler than synthetic antimicrobials. Kaolin clay absorbs excess oil without over-drying, while activated charcoal draws out impurities and toxins. Rose myrtle fruit extract provides additional antimicrobial support, while organic berry extracts offer antioxidants for healing support. Organic argan oil prevents the over-drying that can trigger increased oil production. ExfoLab provides additional support with glycolic acid (5%) and lactic acid (10%) to prevent pore blockages and promote healthy cell turnover, while BalanceLab helps restore the healthy microbiome balance essential for clear skin. https://www.leafandlab.com/collections/acne-skin

ROSACEA

Rosacea is a non-contagious, chronic inflammatory condition characterized by sporadic heat(flushing), persist enterythema and telangiectasia. True rosacea only affects facial skin, beginning around the nose (or central face), then extending in a bilateral, butterfly pattern across the cheeks. In the most severe of cases, rosacea may then spread to the forehead and chin are as also in a bilateral appearance. Rosacea does not affect body skin.

There are 3 traditional types of rosacea that maybe diagnosed on the skin: Erythematotelangiectatic: Chronic inflammation Recommended Treatment: Level 2 Innoaesthetics Redness Peel Advanced Microneedling (level 2 redness) Cold Plasma Inflacure Healing Active Papulopustular: Includes papules and pustules Recommended Treatment: Level 2 Innoaesthetics Redness Peel Dermalogica PRO skin treatments Leaf & Lab Cleans Facials Advanced Microneedling (level 2 redness) Cold Plasma Inflacure Healing Active Phymatous: Characterized by thickening of the skin, particularly on the nose (known as rhinophyma) Recommended Treatment: Level 2 Innoaesthetics Redness Peel Advanced Microneedling (level 2 redness) Cold Plasma Inflacure Healing Active

Leaf & Lab Solutions: CalmLab is specifically formulated for inflammatory conditions like rosacea. CBD (1%) provides potent anti-inflammatory benefits by interacting with the skin's endocannabinoid system to reduce inflammation and calm reactivity. Hemp seed oil delivers omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the optimal 3:1 ratio for skin health, supporting barrier repair and reducing inflammation. Vitamin E provides additional antioxidant protection against environmental triggers. BalanceLab supports barrier health with prebiotic complex and soothing organic aloe vera, while avoiding potential triggers like acids or strong actives. https://www.leafandlab.com/collections/rosacea-skin

SCARRING

A scar is usually composed of fibrous tissue and is the body’s natural way of healing and replacing lost or damaged skin. They can form due to infections, surgery, injuries, or inflammation of tissue. When a wound occurs, your skin goes into immediate healing mode and started trying to close it up as quickly as possible. As a result of this hasty approach, the collagen maybe laid our in a neatly-organised lattice pattern. Too, much collagen creates a raised scar while a lack of collagen causes an indented one. As car may appear flat, lumpy sunken, or coloured. Skin scarring covers a wides pectrum of a clinical phenotype from normal fine lines to abnormal wide spread, atrophic, hypertrophic, keloid scars and burn scar contractures.

Scarring Types I Macular These scars are pigmented flat marks. Best Treatments: Skin peels Advanced Microneedling II Mild Mild atrophy that may not be obvious at social distances and maybe covered adequately by makeup or the normal shadow of shaved beard hair in men. Best Treatment: Skin peels Advanced Microneedling Holistic Facial Rejuvenation Treatments (Cosmetic Acupuncture) True Plasma Treatment III Moderate Moderate atrophic scarring that is obvious at social distances of 50cm or greater and is not covered but is still able to be flattened by manual stretching of the skin (if atrophic). Best Treatment: Advanced Microneedling Facial Acupuncture True Plasma Treatment IV Severe Severe atrophic scarring that is evident at social distances, is not covered easily and is not able to be flattened by manual stretching of the skin. Best Treatment: Advanced Microneedling Facial Acupunture True Plasma Treatment

Areas of Concern

FOREHEAD

Lines will often appear in this area as we age, due to the skin becoming drier, less supple and simply due to normal facial expressions. The best treatment for these lines is anti-wrinkle injections, this will relax the muscles, allowing the skin to heal the lines. If you want to avoid injectable treatments, other treatments will soften the lines, but they will not be able to get rid of them, due to the natural movement of the muscles recreating the lines. Leaf & Lab Clean Facials Dermalogica PRO skin treatments Pulse Lift Advanced Microneedling Radio Frequency Plasma Pen

The forehead is a common area for hyperpigmentation: Lentigines (sun, age, or liver spots): Harmless patch of darkened skin. Caused from exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Very common, especially in people over the age of 40 years. Best Treatments: Cryopen, Skin Peels Melasma/Chloasma (hormonal pigmentation): Symmetrical patches most often on the cheeks, chin, upper lip and forehead Best Treatments: Advanced Microneedling, Skin Peels

EYES

Levels of collagen start to dwindle as early as your teens. By the time you get to your mid-twenties, you might start seeing a few fine lines appearing in your skin, and often the first place you notice this is around your eyes. The reason is that, the skin around your eyes moves a lot, whether from blinking, smiling, laughing or crying. Skin is approximately 40 per cent thinner here than skin elsewhere on your body and is, therefore, more likely to sag and weaken. As you begin to age, other factors and lifestyle issues come into play that affect the skin tissue around the eyes. Best treatments for lines around the eyes: Soften and Prevent Lines & Brighten: Eye Peels, Pulse Lift, PlasmaChanneling Treatment ISOV Intensive Eye Treatment Reduce Deeper lines: Pulse Lift Plasma Pen Skin Booster Mesotherapy PlasmaChanneling Treatment ISOV Intensive Eye Treatment Reduce fine lines: Pulse Lift Radio-Frequency Eye Peels PlasmaChanneling Treatment ISOV Intensive Eye Treatment Stop lines: Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Puffy eyes often occur after a specific incident, like crying a lot or during a very stressful time. This is when the skin around the eyes looks slightly swollen, and it can be caused by stress, hormone changes, fluid retention, spending too long in front of the computer screen, crying and even too much salt in your diet. Lack of sleep or oversleeping can also cause the skin around your eyes to look bloated. Recommended Treatments: Pulse Lift Eye Peels Plasma Pen Holistic Facial Rejuvenation Treatments Advanced Microneedling Under-eye bags, however, are typically the result of the ageing process. As you get older the tissue and muscles around your eyes start to weaken and the normal fat that surrounds and supports this area slumps down into the lower eyelids. Recommended Treatment: Pulse Lift Plasma Lift to tighten & strengthen the skin Plasma Pen Skin Boosters Holistic Facial Rejuvenation Treatments Advanced Microneedling

There are many different factors that could be the reason for dark circles: Skin Colour: Dark circles can be due to the pigmentation of the skin which can be due to hereditary factors or dry skin. Recommended Treatment: Skin peels Thin Skin: The skin around the eyes is 40% thinner than other areas of the face, with some people this allows the circulatory system under the eye to show through giving a darker appearance. Recommended Treatment: Advanced Microneedling Strengthens the skin and can help reduce the darkness caused by seeing the small vessels under the eye. Other things to consider: Dark circles can also be due to a lack of sleep, dehydration or even iron deficiency.

Our brows and lashes define the eye area, when the hairs are lighter or finer, this definition can be lost. This can also reduce as we get older, losing the thickness of the hairs and quantity. Recommended Treatments: Temporary Brow Definition: Brow Lamination, Brow Shaping & Tinting Semi-Permanent Brow Definition: Semi-Permanent Brows Lash Definition: Eye Lash Tint & Lash Lifting Semi-Permanent Lash Definition: Semi-Permanent Make-up - Eyeliner

NOSE & CHEEKS

Blackheads are small bumps that appear on your skin due to clogged hair follicles. The nose is a common area due to sticking out and is oilier, therefore it catches the dirt and it sticks and clogs the follicles more easily. Treatment Recommendation for blackhead removal: Dermalogica PRO skin treatments Leaf & Lab Clean Facials Hydra Facial with oxygen infusion Skin Peel Treatment Recommendation to reduce open pores: Advanced Microneedling Treatment Recommendation for Breakouts: Breakouts on the cheeks can be due to a dirty pillow case, make-up brushes or mobile phone and can be linked to the respiratory system. Dermalogica PRO skin treatments (PRO Clear) Leaf & Lab Clean Facials Hydra Facial with oxygen infusion Skin Peel Carbon Laser Facial

Sometimes due to genetics or weight gain, the contour of the cheeks can be lost due to more fatty tissue under the cheek area or a lack to good draining to the area. Treatment Recommendation: Reduce fat: Face Nade Fat Dissolving Injections Non-Injectable alternative: PulseLift (Lift the cheek muscle, tighten the skin and reduce fat and improve drainage) Gentle Holistic Option: Facial Lift Massage Leaf & Lab The Sculpted Glow Ritual (Natural face lift massage, cupping and gua sha can all help with drainage which can in turn help slim the face)

Lentigines (sun, age, or liver spots): Harmless patch of darkened skin. Caused from exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Very common, especially in people over the age of 40 years. Best Treatments: Cryopen Nd: YAG Laser Skin Peels (Dermalogica MelanoPro & Algae Spicule Peel) Korean Skin Peel (ISOV V-Grape Treatment) Melasma/Chloasma (hormonal pigmentation): Symmetrical patches most often on the cheeks, chin, upper lip and forehead Best Treatments: Advanced Microneedling (level 3 polynucleotide) Skin Peels

LIPS

Long-time smokers tend to be more prone to these but genetics, age and other environmental pollutants might cause these lines to appear more visible. Treatment Recommendation: Mesotherapy Skin Boosters (Revok50) Holistic Facial Rejuvenation Treatments (Cosmetic Acupuncture) Plasma Pen Non injectable options: Radio Frequency Holistic Facial Rejuvenation Treatments (PRO holistic skin treatment using Gua Sha or Natural Face Lift Massage)

JOWLS & NECK

As we move through the ageing process, certain changes will appear around our jawline. It will typically become much less defined. The muscles will begin to shrink, and, if there is extra fat in the neck and jaw area, the skin will start to sag or ‘roll.’ Treatment Recommendations: Strengthening Jowl Muscles: Pulse Lift PlasmaChanneling Tightening Lax Skin: Pulse Lift Radio Frequency Advanced Microneedling Holistic Facial Rejuvenation Treatments (Cosmetic Acupuncture) PlasmaChanneling Plasma Pen Lifting the Jowls: by lifting the cheek area can help lift the jowls. Pulse Lift PlasmaChanneling Dermal Fillers Skin Boosters

As we get older the skin on the neck can be the first area to get lax, causing what can be referred to as a turkey neck. Treatment Recommendations: Strengthen muscles: Pulse Lift (By strengthening and lifting the muscle of the jaw and cheeks its can lift the neck helping reducing laxity and lines) Tighten Lax Skin: Plasma Pen PRP Pulse Lift Advanced Microneedling Mesotherapy Skin Boosters Plump the skin and stimulate collagen & elastin: Advanced Microneedling Mesotherapy Skin Boosters PRP Radio Frequency

Stretch marks occur when fibres in the dermis break down, revealing the blood vessels beneath the skin. This happens when the skin is over-stretched; for example during rapid weight gain, pregnancy, or growth. Red stretch marks are the most successful to treat. Once they have turn white/silver the scar tissue is older and more difficult to treat. Treatment Recommendations: Advance Microneedling Plasma Lift

The pelvic floor muscles support the pelvic floor organs and control continence. However, natural body aging, childbirth and menopause can cause this group of muscles to decondition resulting in continence problems such as leaking urine when coughing or sneezing. Recommend Treatment Pelvic Lift Our Pelvic Lift treatment uses High Intensity Focused ElectroMagnetic Energy (HIFEM) to stimulate and strengthen all the pelvic floor muscles, not just the subset that can be exercised with voluntary contractions (Kegel exercises). These stronger pelvic floor muscles restore continence and the confidence to enjoy normal daily activities without fear of losing bladder control. During each 30-minute session you sit comfortably on the chair while it generates thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions. Each session is equivalent to doing 10000 pelvic floor exercises but without the hard work! The procedure is non-invasive, and you remain fully clothed throughout. No drugs are required and the most you will feel is a slight tingling during the treatment. With no recovery time needed you can leave immediately after each session and resume normal daily activity. The majority of people need a course of six sessions over a period of three weeks to see optimum results, with most people seeing and feeling results after just two or three treatment sessions.
