Which microneedling is right for you?

Microneedling is one of our favourite skincare treatments on the planet!

But did you know, there are many different types of microneedling treatments you can get at Skin Essentials?

How do you know which is right for you?

Microneedling: I absolutely love microneedling and incorporate it into almost all our anti-ageing programmes. There are many types for different levels of outcome and a customised plan will be created especially for your skin, but in general terms:

Classic Microneedling: Best for early signs of ageing such as first eye lines etc, in a course of 3. Excellent as a single treatment as a pre-ageing advanced facial to build collagen as a future-proofing method. Add into your treatment routine from late twenties onward to delay the visible signs of ageing.

Trifractional Resurfacing: Combines shallow needling with radiofrequency energy. Best for first lines, pores, texture issues. All ages requiring surface smoothing and tightening.

Voluderm Facelift: Combines deeper needling with radiofrequency energy. Best for hollows under the eyes, softness around mouth and neck rejuvenation. Usually age 40 plus.

Pyramid Facelift: Combines trifractional and voluderm technologies as above with radio frequency skin tightening to address all signs of ageing where revision is required on wrinkles, sagging or lax skin, texture and radiance. Usually 40 plus but can also be adapted to address pitted scarring on any age skin.

SmartMeso Nano Needling: Combines very shallow needling with vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid Infusion. Best for dull, congested skin that needs a boost. Deeper than a facial but still focused on the uppermost skin layers to improve skin quality not structure or shape.

We have just launched a very exciting microneedling treatment from Amieamed Exceed, which is the most comfortable and effective microneedling technology in the country. We have Amieamed Exceed Microneedling exclusively in Wexford and Donnybrook.

Introducing our NEW Launch – Collagen Glow Facial

Have you experienced the Collagen Glow?

We only launched this facial a month ago and already it is the most-requested facial from our menu! Read on below to see why everyone is booking and re-booking this fabulous facial.

Collagen Glow Facial

What is involved?

The Collagen Glow Facial combines the beautiful and deeply relaxing BioDynamic Lymphatic Drainage Technique with a skin-polishing enzyme treatment and the deep collagen-boosting effects of radiofrequency.

Who is it for?

This is a universal facial which will benefit all skin types except rosacea.

What does it do?

Plant enzymes begin the process of unveiling a radiant glow while the hypnotic massage techniques boost lymphatic flow to drain puffiness. The radiofrequency gently warms the deep tissues to re-awaken collagen fibres for longer-term results.

Oxygen levels in the skin are boosted for a youthful glow
Gentle enzyme therapy smooths the surface for a glass-like finish
BioDynamic Lymphatic Drainage Massage facilitates nutrient exchange for sharper contours
Radiofrequency tightens the skin and plumps fine lines

Is there any downtime?

Your skin will be pink and warm for up to an hour after treatment.

Choose this beautiful facial for relaxation, glow, and age prevention. We highly recommend it before any night out or event for a glass-like, airbrushed skin.

The Collagen Glow Facial takes approx 45 minutes and costs €95.

Have more time? Try upgrading to the Collagen Glow Deluxe – all the benefits of the Collagen Glow standard, with added LED light therapy to super-charge your skin cells for maximum results. 1hr15 €130

Purchase this facial online, book your treatment online, or call us on 053 9145981 to pre-pay and book appointment over the phone.

Décolleté Treatments from Skin Essentials

Décolleté Treatments from Skin Essentials – skin rejuvenation for the upper chest

Décolleté, chest, cleavage area – whatever you call it, the issues are usually the same.

As this is an area that gets a lot of sun over the years, your décolleté can let you down in terms of accelerated skin ageing.

We generally don’t look after this area with skincare the way we would the face and neck and you can be left with dry, creased and uneven coloured or textured skin on your upper chest that can really give the game away when it comes to wearing anything even remotely low cut – never mind strapless!

Other skin issues that can affect the chest area are red veins, skin tags and pigment spots.

Are you one of the many women who avoid plunging necklines like the plague when shopping for a party or event dress – and doesn’t that really narrow your choices?! Well you don’t have to restrict yourself any more. If you are bothered by any of the above then read on to find your simple, fast solution from Skin Essentials by Mariga.

Décolleté Treatments:

Age spots, sun spots – Simply removed with cryotherapy in a very quick treatment. Give yourself 3 weeks before a big event to heal completely! From €75

Red veins, skin tags, milia – We use diathermy electrodessication to remove these nuisance lesions (in the case of large skin tags we recommend cryotherapy instead, see above). From €80

Uneven texture, rough or bumpy skin – We have several treatments for this issue depending on severity. From a firming enzyme add on during your regular facial (€25 as an add on) or a customised acid peel (from €70) to TriFractional skin resurfacing using combined microneedling and radio frequency energy (€300) we have solutions for every need and budget. Call us to arrange your free consultation to determine which is best for you.

Crepey, lined and sun damaged skin – From a course of six of our brand NEW LipofirmMed radiofrequency décolleté treatments (€500 in a package price) which will smooth out lines for long-term results to a Pyramid Decollete Treatment (€395) for deeper lines and sun damage-related issues, we can design the treatment or course of treatments just for you.

See all our treatments here or call us on 053 9145981 / 086 3823608 to discuss a bespoke package for you. Our Wexford Town Skin Clinic is centrally based in Selskar, just off Redmond Square.

Should you use your skincare products on your chest too?

This is a personal choice of course, keeping this area rejuvenated and smooth is definitely easier in the long term if you use skincare products daily.

What do I recommend?

SPF30 during the day any time the skin of the chest is exposed – even if it’s winter or you are mostly inside! If your skin is covered then use a nice quality unscented body oil or lotion.

Age Slowly Serum – use one pump of serum over the upper chest area at least three times a week at night, daily for deeper revision.

Does your face look younger than your neck?

If so, you are definitely not alone.

We get many inquiries at our Wexford Town Skin Clinic as to what can be done for neck rejuvenation.

I think that there are a couple of main reasons so many people are having this issue:

Gravity vs Technology.
Botox/Fillers in the face.

Seeing this screen grab of Sonia O’Sullivan on TV recently inspired this post!

Up to now there has not been much on the market to combat the effects of gravity on the jowl area, under the chin and sides of the neck. This is where looseness appears first and it used to be practically impossible to correct without surgery.

Thankfully we now have non-surgical technology that can have a huge and lasting impact on the skin of the neck. From a gentle tweak on the first signs of ‘slippage’ using TriPollar radio frequency and DMA jawline lifting, to intensive correction using a blend of TriPollar and Pyramid Facelift technology we can create the perfect package for your needs and achieve visible, lasting results without surgery.

The same techniques and technology apply to those who have noticed that anti-wrinkle and filler injections in the face have begun to leave them with a noticeable discrepancy between the age appearance of their face and their neck.

It is painful, costly and not always do-able to extend these treatments to the neck area so TriPollar and DMA is a fantastic option now available.

Remember, Skin Essentials by Mariga is the first in Ireland with this technology and you will not get this anywhere else in Wexford.

Great celeb skincare mention in Chic Magazine

The new celeb skincare favourite is our exclusive treatment – The Pyramid Facelift, and it’s causing quite the stir!

On Saturday, 15th Sept, we had a great surprise reading Chic Magazine in the Irish Daily Star.

We received another glowing mention from the well-known model and lifestyle guru, Vivienne Connolly.

Read Vivienne’s Chic interview here:

“When it comes to your beauty regime, obviously you can see changes in your skin as you get older which is caused by the fact you’re not producing as much collagen…”

“I use Skin Essentials by Mariga, she’s from Wexford, she recently gave me a non-invasive facelift before my holidays.

It’s not about cutting your face but stimulating your own natural collagen, although your face is red afterwards and you have to stay out of the sun for a few days.

I use her collagen serum in the morning and at night I use the Age Slowely Serum and Lipid Repair Concentrate, then I put a layer of deep moisturiser.

When I started using them, I told Margia: ‘my skin doesn’t feel soft and lovely like it does with my own moisutriser’, and she said: ‘That’s because the cream you were using was wrong, it just sat there on top of your skin and didn’t do anything’, and I have noticed a big change in my skin since I started using her products.”
