Services
Ultraformer III
Ultraformer III uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to lift and tighten sagging skin non-surgically. By stimulating collagen production, it firms and smooths skin for a youthful appearance without downtime. Ideal for addressing jowls, brow laxity, and neck sagging.
IPL Treatment
IPL targets pigmentation, sun damage, and redness with broad-spectrum light. It evens skin tone and texture by stimulating collagen while addressing vascular and pigmented lesions. Multiple sessions yield cumulative rejuvenation for clearer, radiant skin.
Skin Needling
Skin needling creates micro-injuries to boost collagen and elastin, improving texture and reducing scars, fine lines, and pigmentation. Using Dermapen 4, it enhances product absorption and revitalises skin with minimal recovery time.
LED Light Therapy
Medical-grade LED therapy calms inflammation, boosts circulation, and energises skin cells. Safe for all types, it plumps and firms skin, supporting healing and radiance with pain-free, cumulative results over sessions.
Chemical Peels
Professional peels exfoliate and renew skin using targeted acid blends. They refine texture, brighten tone, and address acne or ageing by accelerating cell turnover. Customisable strengths ensure suitability for diverse skin concerns and types.

Select Skin has great products that aren't easy to find online. Customer service were exceptionally helpful when AusPost lost my parcel and provided me with the products express post immediately after I contacted them. Thanks Melanie for your help!

Melanie was recommended to me because of my problem skin, Ive seen so many beauticians and used so many products but with just one IPL session and Melanies wealth of skincare knowledge she has completely changed my skin and my broken capillaries are disappearing, I really cant believe the results, looking forward to my next session. If you have any skin problems especially with Rosacea definitely see Melanie.
