Metaskin® Prescriptive Treatment

Metaskin® Methodology is the clinical expression of the foundational philosophy. We treat skin where you are in your health & life journey. Two treatments that incorporate a combination of manual and mechanical methods of manipulation with evidence-based, results-driven skincare to nurture your skin back to health. Everyone can benefit from this treatment and it can be used across the whole body. This treatment is individualised for you!

Research has shown that the psychological benefits of physical touch through traditional beauty therapy, massage therapy and physical therapies are significant and noteworthy for all that experience it (Paulson, 2008). 

This is the ultimate hands-on experience where massage techniques work to stimulate blood and lymphatic circulation, increase muscle tone, deeply relax the nervous system and tone and correct superficial skin conditions. Research supports the use of therapeutic massage and lymphatic drainage techniques to assist in the management of many conditions across the body. For many people undergoing treatment for cancer or acute and chronic disease management, traditional therapies can assist in the restoration of skin functionality, barrier repair, stress relief and wound healing, pain relief, mental fatigue and anxiety and the aesthetics of the skin by improving hydration and reducing inflammation (Amiel et al., 2009).

Metaskin® Methodology can include but is not limited to:

  • Deep cleansing of the skin

  • Microdermabrasion

  • Professional peeling

  • Iontopheresis, or Ultrasound dermal delivery with targeted ampoule infusion

  • Non-needle mesotherapy/electroporation

  • Extractions (removal of comedones, milia & ingrown hairs)

  • benign lesion removal additions or spot treating keratoses or sun spots

  • 30 min Swedish massage, pressure point, MLD (manual lymphatic drainage); face, neck, decolletage & scalp.

Specific massage techniques are proven to have rejuvenating and stimulating benefits for toning muscle fibres resulting in toning and firming to the area (Howard, 2011).

  • Mask therapy (alginate, gel-forming or wet-packed gel formulations)

  • LED therapy; included after the cleansing sequence for 15 mins

Any area of the body can be treated with this therapeutic ritual and some of the conditions that will benefit are:

  • Chronic photo damage (arms, back, legs, face, neck & décolletage)

  • Inflammatory skin conditions (Rosacea, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, acne grade I-IV, sensitivities)

  • Keratosis pilaris

  • Pigmentation disorders, severe dryness & dehydrated skins

  • Menopausal skins, skin laxity & loss of muscle tone

  • Thickened, hyperkeratotic skins.

  • All skin types

  • Maintenance treatment as adjunctive therapy for advanced programs


Traditional Skin Therapy can be used to prep the skin for more advanced therapeutic interventions and can be included in a treatment program for best results. A treatment regime will be designed to your specific skin concerns for long term success and to support your ongoing skin health journey.
