Skin Therapy · Clinical Education Microneedling, Considered A few of our clients have asked us to put it in writing. So here it is: what this treatment really does, the skin it changes, and why the way we prepare you matters as much as the treatment itself. Microneedling is one of the most rewarding treatments we offer, and it is one we are asked about often. The reason is simple. It works with your skin rather than against it. Rather than forcing a result, microneedling invites your skin to do what it already knows how to do: renew, rebuild, and strengthen itself from within. At its heart, it is a collagen induction treatment. By creating thousands of tiny, precise micro channels across the surface of the skin, we gently signal it to begin its natural repair response. Over a course of treatments, that response brings firmer, smoother, clearer and more resilient skin. Skin that still looks like your own, only healthier and more luminous. It is also beautifully versatile, which is why we recommend it across so many different skins and concerns. What it helps One treatment, many concerns Microneedling suits most skin types and adapts to what your skin needs most. These are the concerns we treat with it most often. Age management and fine lines From our mid twenties, the skin's natural collagen and elastin begin to slow. Microneedling encourages fresh collagen, softening the look of fine lines, restoring firmness and bounce, and helping skin hold itself the way it used to. Pigmentation and uneven tone By supporting healthy, even cell renewal, microneedling helps to refine an uneven complexion and gradually soften the appearance of sun damage and discolouration. Paired with the right active ingredients, it brings back clarity and a brighter, more even tone. Acne, congestion and scarring For skin that is prone to breakouts, and for the marks and texture they can leave behind, microneedling helps to refine the surface, smooth uneven texture and support calmer, clearer skin over time. Glow, strength and maintenance Even healthy skin with no single concern benefits enormously. Regular maintenance treatments keep the skin strong, support a healthy barrier, and deliver that unmistakable lit from within glow. Think of it as ongoing care that keeps your skin resilient and radiant for the long term. The Boheme difference Treating to the right endpoint Here is where our approach sets us apart, and where we want to give you a little insight into how we work. Every microneedling treatment has what we call a clinical endpoint. It is the precise point at which the skin has been stimulated enough to trigger genuine renewal, safely and effectively. Reaching that endpoint is what separates a treatment that simply feels pleasant from one that delivers real, visible change. But, and this is the part that matters most, your skin can only be treated to that endpoint safely when it has been properly prepared first. Prepared skin is treatable skin. That is why preparation is never optional at Boheme. It is the foundation of your result. This is the step that many clinics skip. When skin has not been conditioned beforehand, it is often too vulnerable to be treated thoroughly. The therapist is then left with two poor choices: hold back, which means a gentle treatment and underwhelming results, or press on with skin that is not ready, which raises the risk of irritation, lingering redness or unwanted pigmentation. Neither outcome is good enough for us, and neither is good enough for you. So we do it properly. We would always rather invest a few weeks preparing your skin than rush you to the treatment bed and compromise your result. Preparing your skin Why we prime before we treat Before your first treatment, your skin therapist will guide you through a short preparation phase. For most clients this means introducing professional topical vitamins, particularly vitamin A and vitamin C, alongside targeted antioxidants and active ingredients chosen specifically for your skin. These work quietly in the background to build your skin's health, tolerance and resilience from the surface down. So that when the day comes, we can treat thoroughly and confidently, all the way to that endpoint where the real results live. In some cases we may also recommend internal support, such as skin specific supplements, to nourish renewal from the inside out. Think of this phase as laying the groundwork. By the time you are with us, your skin is strong, healthy and ready to make the very most of every session. Before your visit How to prepare for treatment In the days leading up to your appointment, we will give you clear, simple guidance tailored to you. Generally this means continuing your prescribed home care, keeping your skin well hydrated, staying out of direct sun, and pausing certain actives at the right time. There is no guesswork involved. Your therapist will tell you exactly what to do and when, so you arrive perfectly ready. Afterwards What to expect as your skin renews Microneedling is often described as a social weekend of recovery, and most clients are very comfortable. You can expect a warm flush and a feeling of tightness, a little like a light touch of sun, that settles within a day or two. Some notice mild dryness or a subtle texture as the skin renews itself underneath. We will send you home with everything you need and a simple aftercare routine to follow. A few days of patience, and your skin rewards you with that fresh, glowing result that makes the whole process worthwhile. Ready when you are Beautiful skin is rarely an accident It is the result of the right treatment, performed to the right endpoint, on skin that has been properly prepared by hands that know exactly what they are doing. That is the standard we hold ourselves to, and it is why our clients see results they feel proud of. If you have been curious about microneedling, we would love to guide you.

The Green Sea Peel: Real Results, Naturally
28th May 2026
The Green Sea Peel is one of the most rewarding new treatments on our menu, and it works differently from anything else we offer. It delivers real, visible change after a single session, without relying on harsh acids. This is your guide to what it treats, what's happening beneath the surface, and how to move through the days afterwards with confidence rather than worry. What it does for your skin The Green Sea Peel is a resurfacing treatment that renews your skin from within, using marine spicules rather than chemicals. The results speak for themselves, and it's particularly effective for a handful of concerns we see every day at Boheme. It refines texture and smooths the skin. By accelerating your skin's natural renewal, the peel softens rough, uneven texture and leaves the surface noticeably smoother and more refined. It lifts and improves pigmentation. The treatment works to draw out and break up unwanted pigment, helping to fade sun damage, melasma, and post-inflammatory marks for a more even, uniform complexion over a series of sessions. It stimulates collagen and firms. The micro-channelling action prompts your skin to produce fresh collagen and elastin, which, over time, improve firmness and soften the look of fine lines. It clears and calms congested, acne-prone skin. The peel helps regulate oil, decongest pores, and support healing, making it a genuine ally for active breakouts and the marks they leave behind. It restores radiance. Almost everyone notices the same thing first: a brighter, clearer, healthier glow as fresh skin comes to the surface. Because it's free of AHAs and BHAs and works mechanically rather than chemically, it's also a great option if you've never tolerated traditional acid peels well. How it works Spicules are microscopic, needle-like structures derived from marine sponges. When your skin therapist taps and massages them into your skin's surface, they create thousands of tiny micro-channels in the upper layers. Those micro-channels do two things at once. They trigger a controlled renewal response, prompting your skin to accelerate its natural turnover, and they allow the corrective ingredients applied alongside them to reach far deeper than any cream or serum could on its own. This is why you see results after just one treatment, and it's also why the experience afterwards is more intense than a standard peel. The more you understand about what's coming, the more comfortable the whole process feels. What you'll feel and see This is a clinical treatment, not a relaxing facial. It's corrective work, and you'll feel sensation both during and after. Knowing what's normal ahead of time is the difference between riding through the recovery window calmly and worrying that something has gone wrong. Almost everything described below is expected. The treatment itself can be intense, and how strong it feels depends on the depth of your peel. A light peel is mild, more of a gentle tingle, while a medium peel is more noticeable. A deeper peel can genuinely be uncomfortable, even briefly painful, as it works harder to resurface and renew your skin. We'll always talk through which depth is right for your skin and your goals beforehand, so you know exactly what to expect during your appointment. In the days that follow, that intensity settles into a prickling, tingling, or stinging sensation. This is the most distinctive part of the treatment, and the one clients most often aren't expecting. It can last for at least 72 hours afterwards and tends to be more noticeable in the evening, when you're lying down, or when you're warm. Think of it as similar to a mild sunburn, but more localised. You may also feel an occasional sharp tingle when you apply products. That's expected, not a reaction. Your skin may look redder than you expected straight after. The redness is most pronounced in the first few hours and softens significantly within 24 to 48 hours. If you have an event coming up, plan your treatment at least two weeks beforehand. Existing pigmentation may look darker before it improves. Any melasma, post-inflammatory marks, or sun damage can appear temporarily darker during the first few days and even into the first couple of weeks. This is the pigment lifting toward the surface, and it's part of the process, not a setback. You will peel. Visibly and noticeably, over roughly three to seven days. It might show up as flaking, sheeting, or a generally dry, rough texture. Your skin will shed when it's ready, and the most important thing you can do is leave it alone. Your results appear during and after the peeling phase. The fresh-skin reveal typically lands somewhere between day five and day ten, depending on your skin and your protocol. Caring for your skin afterwards What you do, and don't do, in the days following your peel makes a real difference to your result. Here's how to support your skin while it renews. No picking, peeling, or pulling at flaking skin. This is the single most important thing on this list. Forcing skin to shed before it's ready can lead to pigmentation, uneven texture, and, in some cases, scarring. Let it shed on its own. No exfoliants of any kind. No physical scrubs, no AHA or BHA exfoliants, no enzyme peels. Your skin is already exfoliating at a high rate, and adding more will compromise the barrier and increase the risk of pigmentation. No retinoids or retinol during the peeling phase. Pause these until your skin has fully finished peeling and feels settled. No strong actives. High-strength vitamin C, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and other potentially irritating ingredients should be paused during the recovery window. No sheet masks for at least a few days. Sheet masks create occlusion and add hydration in a way that can interfere with peeling. Sun protection is non-negotiable. Your skin is newly exposed, more sensitive to light, and more vulnerable to pigmentation during recovery. Daily broad-spectrum SPF is essential, not optional. Keep home care simple and gentle. A gentle cleanser is all you need at first. Once you've finished peeling, you can reintroduce an antioxidant serum and barrier protect moisturiser to support your refreshed skin. A note from us The prickling sensation is the part clients worry about most, so we want to be clear: it's completely normal. Your skin therapist has felt it themselves, and we'll talk you through exactly what to expect before you leave. If you feel that prickle intensify at bedtime, or a sharp tingle when you apply your products, that's your skin doing precisely what it's meant to. Ready to see what your skin can do? The Green Sea Peel is now available at Boheme. Whether you're working on pigmentation, texture, congestion, or simply want a fresh start for your skin, our therapists will tailor the treatment to exactly where your skin is right now. Best results come from a short series, and we'll map out the right plan for you at your consultation. Call us on (07) 4724 5900 or book online to begin.
