Beauty news: Saint Beauty welcomes game-changing treatments, BBL & MOXI
If you follow me on Instagram (@mshelene99 – please do!) you’ll know what a fan I am of Saint Beauty, an advanced skin and beauty salon nestled in the heart of Saint Heliers Bay Village, Auckland. It’s the most beautiful seaside haven of relaxation coupled with incredible knowledge about skin health, and every experience I have had there has surpassed my expectations – my skin literally *sings* long after I have left their premises. There’s always the chance to take a few moments on the beach afterwards, and I highly recommend a coffee from Jack’s in the street adjacent if you’re that way inclined!
But I digress! In huge news for the talented team, Saint Beauty has announced the arrival in clinic of the revolutionary BBL (BroadBand Light) and MOXI (Fractional Laser) treatments, set to further enhance the results already seen by their legions of loyal clients. The award-winning treatments are designed to enhance your skin’s tone, texture, and overall glow, and I personally love that they can be used together for *chef’s kiss* results.
BBL is an intense pulsed light therapy that works by delivering light energy to your skin, helping to boost collagen, help with texture and more, and I am a raving fan. And in over twenty years of writing about beauty, I’ve had a lot of treatments that have come with the tag “lunchtime” – lunchtime facials, lunchtime peels, lunchtime makeovers and more. Inevitably, they fall into two categories – ones that do very little but let you return to work looking a bit glow-y for a day or two, and those that are high performance but leave you looking like you most definitely have had something ‘done’. BBL is in its own category altogether - it comes with next to no downtime, and is incredibly quick once you’ve had an initial consultation.
But onto the important question: what skin conditions can it help with? Sun damage (photoaging), sun spots, age spots, hyperpigmentation, freckles, melasma, birth marks, redness, rosacea, small blood vessels, broken capillaries, acne, skin laxity… and the list goes on. It is also completely customisable depending on your skin type and what you’d like to tackle/achieve, and BBL is also the only treatment that is capable of functionally changing the expression of genes in aged skin cells, as proved by a study from Stanford University. This makes it powerful enough to literally ‘reverse’ early signs of ageing as well as targeting skin issues, and those used to more painful procedures will love that it features state-of-the-art cooling features and comes with minimal pain and downtime.
I felt very little throughout my recent treatment at Saint targeting redness, sun damage and fine lines, and left without makeup – although if you do feel the need to cover up, you can do so immediately after with no disruption to the healing process. Love that!
As with many a transformative beauty procedure, the number of treatments required will vary from patient to patient, and the team at Saint Beauty will personalise a treatment plan based on what you want to achieve. Even one treatment is beneficial, but a series of treatments is usually recommended and I can’t wait for my next one.
The other new modality, MOXI is a fractional laser treatment that tackles early signs of ageing and improves skin quality. It’s perfect for addressing sun damage, uneven skin tone, and those pesky fine lines and large pores, and requires numbing gel beforehand for most clients. MOXI creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin to kickstart your body’s natural healing process, and is hugely effective but comes with shorter recovery times than more aggressive treatments. “People call it the ‘MOXI magic wand’ for a reason!” says Emma Hughes, co-owner, Saint Beauty. “You can see noticeable improvements after just one treatment. It’s a fantastic addition for anyone wanting to keep their skin looking fresh and youthful..” MOXI’s non-ablative laser energy works wonders for all skin types and ages, and clocking in under 30 minutes, it’s ideal for busy lifestyles any time of year.
If you haven’t met Saint Beauty co-founders Bex and Emma, I heartily advise that you do – they are the kindest and most clever of dynamic duos and so passionate about what they do! They bring a combined 30 years of experience in the beauty industry, ensuring every service is crafted to perfection. I could not recommend them - and BBL and MOXI - more!
