VOS Aesthetics · Beauty notes
Thoughtful care, one question at a time.
Short reads to help you feel informed before a treatment conversation. These notes are general information, not medical advice. Your treating professional’s specific aftercare instructions take priority.
01 · Fibroblast Plasma Therapy
What happens during fibroblast therapy—and what about healing?
Fibroblast plasma therapy is a skin treatment that uses a pen-like device to create a series of small, controlled thermal points over an agreed area. The approach is intended to prompt a local skin response; the precise device, settings and treatment plan can differ. In a consultation, your practitioner should explain the proposed area and method, discuss your goals and health history, and allow time for questions before you decide. You can ask what comfort measures are available, how long the appointment may take and what the total cost includes.
After treatment, the skin may look red or feel warm, and temporary swelling, tenderness, dryness, tiny crusts or flaking can occur. The appearance can change as the surface settles; healing may take days to a few weeks, depending on the area, approach and individual skin. Do not pick or pull at crusts. Less common but important risks can include infection, scarring or changes in skin colour, so discuss your personal risk factors and what to watch for beforehand. Results, suitability and recovery vary, and no particular outcome can be guaranteed. Follow your treating professional’s instructions and contact them if recovery concerns you.
02 · Aftercare
Fibroblast aftercare: give your skin time and follow your plan
Your practitioner’s written aftercare plan is the guide for your exact device, treatment settings and treatment area. Before you leave, make sure you understand how and when to cleanse, what products—if any—to apply, how to protect the area and when to check in. Keep the plan somewhere easy to find. Wash your hands before any permitted contact, and avoid rubbing, scratching, picking or peeling treated skin; lifting crusts can interfere with comfortable healing.
Ask your practitioner when it is appropriate to resume makeup, active skincare, shaving, exercise, swimming, sauna or other heat exposure. Do not assume advice from another person or an online routine applies to your treatment. Once your practitioner says the skin has healed enough, ask about suitable sun protection and when to return to your usual routine. Recovery differs from person to person. Contact your treating professional or a GP if the area seems to be worsening, is not healing as expected, or you are unsure what to do; seek prompt medical care for severe or rapidly worsening symptoms.
03 · PMU Brows
Xenè’s Ultra Realism Brows and VOS Feather Strokes
VOS Feather Strokes are approached as a considered design, not a stamp or one-shape-fits-all template. During a consultation, Xenè can talk through the brow shape you enjoy, your everyday routine and whether a fine, hair-like stroke effect is a suitable direction. Mapping gives you a chance to look at the proposed outline and discuss balance, arch, length and how the design sits with your natural features before any treatment begins.
Stroke direction and spacing, pigment tone, existing brow hair, skin characteristics and any previous cosmetic tattooing can all influence the plan and how the finished brows appear. A reference photo can help explain the kind of detail you like, but it is a conversation starter rather than a promise of an identical result. Ask about the technique, healing, possible colour changes as the skin settles, touch-up expectations and aftercare. Suitability and results vary; take the time you need to decide whether the proposed look feels right for you.
04 · PMU Brows
PMU brow aftercare: small habits that support a careful heal
Permanent makeup is a form of cosmetic tattooing, and the brow area needs time to settle. It can look stronger or more defined at first; mild redness, tenderness or swelling and some flaking may occur as it heals. The colour and appearance can change during recovery, so avoid judging the final look too early. Your artist should give you clear, written instructions suited to the technique and your skin.
Wash your hands before following any cleansing steps. Use only the products and routine your artist recommends, and do not scratch, rub, pick or peel the area. Ask before applying makeup, skincare or active products close to the brows, and ask how long to avoid swimming, sauna, strenuous exercise or direct sun. Let flaking lift on its own, and wait for your artist’s advice before arranging any follow-up appointment. If you develop increasing pain, spreading redness, heat, discharge or feel unwell, contact a health professional; also let your artist know about concerns. Individual healing and pigment retention vary, so follow your own aftercare plan rather than comparing with someone else’s.
05 · Before your appointment
How to make the most of a brow consultation
A useful consultation starts with what you want your brows to do for you. Think about how you usually wear them, how much time you spend styling them and what you would like to feel different. A few reference images can help you describe details such as softness, definition or direction, but they cannot guarantee the same result on different skin and brows. Be open about previous brow tattooing or correction, sensitivities, allergies, relevant health information and products you use around the area.
Use the conversation to review the proposed shape and colour, technique, suitability, healing and aftercare. Ask what might affect the result, what the appointment will involve and whether another option—or waiting—makes more sense for your goals. You should have time to understand the plan and decide without pressure. If anything is unclear, it is completely reasonable to ask again or take time before booking.
06 · Facials
Choosing a facial that fits your skin and your day
Start with what matters to you: perhaps a quiet, restorative appointment, or a conversation about how your skin feels and the kind of care you are looking for. Tell your practitioner about your usual products, sensitivities, allergies, recent treatments and anything that tends to leave your skin uncomfortable. This context helps you discuss options and decide whether to adapt or postpone a treatment.
Ask what the facial includes, which products or steps are planned, what sensations are normal and how much time to allow afterwards. There is no single facial that suits everyone, and a cosmetic treatment cannot diagnose or treat an underlying skin condition. If a concern is new, persistent, painful or needs diagnosis, check with a GP or dermatologist before proceeding. After your appointment, use the aftercare guidance you are given and get in touch if you have questions about your skin’s response.
07 · Microneedling
Questions to ask before microneedling
Before deciding, ask what type of microneedling is proposed, which area will be treated, why it may suit your goals and what the appointment involves. Find out what you may feel during and after the session, what downtime to plan for, what risks to consider and how the skin should be cared for afterwards. Share relevant health information, skin sensitivities, recent procedures and your current skincare routine so the practitioner can discuss suitability with you.
Devices, treatment depth and protocols are not interchangeable, so ask about the specific plan rather than relying on a general description. You should understand the likely recovery and any limits on your usual activities before consenting. Results and suitability vary, and a treatment cannot promise a particular change. If you have an unexplained or active skin concern, seek advice from a GP or dermatologist rather than using a cosmetic appointment to identify it.
08 · Scalp care
Hair Loss Regeneration Therapy: begin with a conversation
Changes in hair density or shedding can have many possible contributors. A treatment consultation is a chance to explain what you have noticed, when it began and what you hope to address, then hear what the proposed service includes. Ask about suitability, the number and spacing of sessions being considered, how progress would be reviewed, possible discomfort or downtime and the total course cost. It is also fair to ask what the service cannot do and what level of change is realistic to discuss.
A cosmetic service is not a diagnosis, and individual response varies. If hair loss is sudden, patchy, painful, accompanied by scalp changes or worrying to you, speak with your GP to explore possible causes and appropriate care before starting a cosmetic treatment. You can take time to consider the information and decide whether the plan fits your needs.
09 · Body care
What to expect from manual lymphatic drainage
Manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle, rhythmic style of bodywork. At the start of a session, you can share what you hope to get from it, explain which areas feel comfortable to work on and agree on boundaries and pressure. Tell the practitioner about relevant health conditions, recent procedures or changes in how you are feeling; if you are uncertain whether massage is suitable, check with your GP first.
You can ask how the appointment is structured, what clothing or draping to expect and whether any products will be used. You remain in control throughout: ask for an adjustment, a pause or an end to the session whenever you wish. This service is not a substitute for medical assessment or treatment, and broad “detox” promises are not a reliable way to understand what a session does. Choose a practitioner who explains the approach clearly and respects your comfort.
10 · Skin awareness
Age spots, sun spots and skin tags: check first
It is not always possible to tell what a mark or bump is by looking, and labels such as “age spot,” “sun spot” or “skin tag” should not be treated as a diagnosis. Do not try to identify or remove a lesion yourself. Before considering a cosmetic service, arrange a GP assessment for any new, changing, bleeding or irregular lesion, or one that looks unusual, crusts, does not heal or concerns you. A beauty appointment is not a medical skin check.
Once a GP has assessed the area, you can ask whether a cosmetic service is appropriate and what it would involve. VOS can discuss enquiry-only options where suitable, but cannot diagnose a lesion. If a spot changes while you are waiting for an appointment, contact your GP for advice rather than proceeding with cosmetic treatment.
11 · Body care
Planning a Back Rejuvenation Therapy appointment
Before booking, use the consultation to understand what Back Rejuvenation Therapy includes, which areas are involved, how the session may feel and how long to allow. Mention skin sensitivities, recent treatments, products or allergies, and any areas you would prefer the practitioner to avoid. Ask what preparation is helpful and whether there are activities or products you should pause afterwards. Your comfort and consent should guide the appointment at every step.
The price guide lists Back Rejuvenation Therapy at $285. Confirm what is included when you enquire, and discuss whether the service is suitable for your skin and goals before proceeding. The treatment plan and individual experience may differ; no particular outcome is guaranteed. Follow the aftercare guidance from your treating professional and contact them if you have concerns.
12 · Wellbeing
Aromatherapy: share your preferences and sensitivities
Scent is personal, and a relaxing appointment should feel comfortable to you. Before a back-and-neck aromatherapy treatment, tell your practitioner which aromas you enjoy, which you prefer to avoid and whether you have known sensitivities, allergies or relevant health considerations. Ask what products are planned, how they will be used and whether an unscented option is available. You can request a change, a pause or an end to the session at any point.
If a fragrance or product causes discomfort, say so promptly rather than trying to tolerate it. If you are uncertain whether a particular oil, product or massage is suitable for you, check with your healthcare professional before booking. Your practitioner’s aftercare instructions should reflect the treatment you received and take priority over general information.
13 · Skin changes & weight loss
Fibroblast plasma therapy for GLP-1 weight loss
After substantial weight loss—including weight loss that may occur while using GLP-1 medicine—some people notice localised loose skin. Fibroblast plasma treatment is a non-surgical cosmetic option used to assist with mild-to-moderate, localised skin laxity and skin tightening. It does not treat the cause of weight loss or remove extensive excess skin.
How it works
A pen-like device converts electrical energy into a brief arc of ionised gas (plasma). The flash creates tiny, controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface without the device tip directly touching it.
- Tissue contraction: Heat may cause local contraction at each treatment point, but the amount of visible tightening varies and is not guaranteed.
- Collagen and elastin response: The controlled micro-injuries start a healing response. Treatment is intended to encourage collagen and elastin production over the following weeks to months. The extent of remodelling and visible benefit varies, and evidence for efficacy is limited.
- Target areas: It may be offered for selected mild-to-moderate laxity, including upper- or lower-eyelid hooding, fine lines around the eyes or mouth, jowls and neck lines, and sometimes stretch marks or acne scars. “Non-surgical blepharoplasty” is a marketing description for selected mild eyelid laxity; it is not equivalent to surgery.
What to expect
- Procedure time: A session may take about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area and treatment plan.
- Recovery and downtime: Tiny carbon crusts or dots may form and often shed over about 5 to 10 days. Redness and swelling may settle within several days, but can last a week or longer. Healing and skin remodelling vary and may continue over weeks to months; timelines are not guaranteed.
- Sessions and duration: A practitioner may suggest 1 to 3 sessions depending on the area and response, but there is no evidence-based session count. Long-term duration is not well studied, and a 1-to-5-year result should not be treated as established or guaranteed; large long-term controlled studies are lacking.
