Is it painful?

In a word, no.  Suction is completely adjustable and I will always work within your comfort levels.  If I am working over a particularly 'stuck' area, or scar tissue, we can adjust the negative pressure to suit as needed. It is an overall relaxing and pain free treatment. 

Can I have it if I have had botox or fillers?

Not if they have been done recently.  Any fillers or botox would need to have worn off before I can work on the area.  However, if you have only had lip fillers, for example, I can still work on other areas of your face. 

Can I have this if I have tatoos on my face?

Not directly over any recently tatooed skin. 

What if I have acne?

Facial vacutherapy is a wonderful option for congested skin and you'll likely find great results within a few sessions.

Is there a minimum or maximum age this is recommended for?

This treatment is ideal for male and female, from teens to 90's.  

How long is a session?

Most appointments will be 35 minutes long

Could I have an allergic reaction?

I do use essential oils during the treatment, potential allergy issues will be ascertained prior to treatment, and any issues with skin sensitivity will be taken into consideration in terms of products used.  Vacutherapy itself does not cause allergies. 

How many sessions do I need?

For best results, 6-10 sessions are recommended, although results can be seen with one session. 

Can it work on other parts of the body too?

Absolutely, the vacutherapy machine plays an important role in my sport therapy practice.  For more info, please check out

How long does it last?

For most, results are still noticeable over 6 months later, some like to have one or 2 top up sessions every 6 months.  

Can I still wear make up after my session?

Yes 

What if I have my permanent make up?

I would not work over the area if it has been done in the days prior to treatment, however if it well healed, there is no issue. 

Does it work on deep frown lines?

Yes, we get fantastic results for the deeper lines, paticularly with a course of treatments

Will it help if I have rosacea? 

With a course of treatments we have had great results for rosacea. There may be further recommendations made in certain circumstances. 

What about scar tissue from previous surgeries?

Vacutherapy is a great option for helping with scar tissue on the body and face.  Many experience improved sensation in the area, even after just one treatment. 

Can I have 6 sessions within a week?

Yes, while not the norm, this is possible if schedules require it.  It is a good idea to let the tissue settle for 48 hours ideally beween sessions.
