Common Concerns
Acne
Don’t let acne get in the way of your confidence ever again! With a selection of bacteria busting facial treatments to choose from, a free consultation with your aesthetician at the BodyBarn will help you find the best solution to keep those breakouts at bay.
Acne Scars
Even after acne has been treated, it can leave behind scars and uneven skin tone. Although we have our own self-repair system, it relies on collagen production which decreases as we age, making it harder for acne scars to fade. Luckily new technologies has made it possible to rejuvenate skin and regain a smooth surface.
Aging Skin
Aging, argh! At least, that’s the short answer. Between sun damage and living in a modern environment, our skin inevitably becomes damaged over time. No matter what, it’s never too late to start protecting your skin and benefit from the treatments that help repair this damage and restore some of your skin’s youthful glow.
Age Spots
These occur as a result of sun exposure and are most commonly found in those over 40, making them a clear indicator of your age. At BodyBarn, we can treat age spots so they are less visible or removed entirely, allowing you to regain an even and youthful skin tone.
Birthmarks
Birthmarks are a common discoloration that appears on your skin at birth or shortly after. Most birthmarks are not serious and are only a concern for your appearance. The picosecond laser is revolutionary technology that can break down pigmentation and remove the appearance of certain birthmarks completely.
Body Shape
Despite all the exercise in the world along with doing our best to eat healthy foods, sometimes we can’t quite achieve the ideal body shape we’re looking for. Fortunately with exciting new technologies, it’s now easy to build tone and selectively shape the body in areas that exercise alone can’t quite reach.
Cellulite
It’s a struggle that most women have to deal with at some point in their life, no matter their size. Using non-invasive treatments, we can significantly reduce the appearance of cellulite and help you get that bikini bum looking great again!
Cold Sore
It’s estimated that almost 70% of all adults have come in contact with the HSV-1 virus. An unfortunate consequence are cold sores that can develop on the lips or around the mouth. With the help of laser technology, healing time can be significantly reduced and if caught early, can even prevent blisters from forming.
Crow’s Feet
Wrinkles and sagging skin around the eyes can begin to show as we age. Thankfully at BodyBarn, we have numerous treatments that can be used to tighten this delicate skin area and significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes.
Diastasis Recti
The widening and thinning of the abdominal muscles is very common after pregnancy. This gap usually closes within 2 – 3 months postpartum, however roughly ⅓ of women continue to have this gap. EMS is an effective treatment to help tighten, restrengthen and pull these muscles back together.
Dry Skin
If you’re suffering from dry skin, you’re not alone. Although not usually a serious condition, dry skin can be both itchy and uncomfortable. Whether it’s caused by an underlying skin condition, aging, poor skincare habits or environmental factors a comprehensive treatment plan can be tailored to suit the specific needs of your skin.

Double Chin
This small pocket of submental fat that develops just beneath the jawline can create an unbalanced appearance. Unfortunately diet and exercise usually does little to remove its baggy appearance, however various technologies can provide effective solutions without the need for invasive surgery.
Eczema & Psoriasis
When skin itches and is dry, rough or inflamed, it may be the symptoms of eczema. It can flare up from time to time and commonly appears on elbows, knees, the scalp or the lower back before subsiding. Eczema can affect more than 10% of the population and although there is no known cure, laser therapy can be a highly effective tool for reducing symptoms.
Facial Redness / Mild Rosacea
A fairly common skin condition that causes redness of the face and often associated with easy flushing. There is no cure for rosacea, but treatments can help to control and reduce the symptoms. Our aestheticians will help determine an appropriate course of treatments for you.
Facial Volume Loss
After our teenage years, the skin begins to lose its support system as our collagen levels lower. Coupled with the help of gravity, diminishing muscle, environmental stress and sun damage we start to lose that youthful plumpness and volume in our cheeks and lips.
Freckles
Usually found in areas that most commonly get sun exposure, freckles are usually harmless and form as a result of melanin overproduction. UV protection such as sunscreen is an effective method to minimise freckles from forming, however there are numerous treatments available that can help lighten or even eliminate freckles altogether.
Hair Loss / Alopecia
Hair loss can occur for a number of reasons, such as stress, illness, hormonal imbalances or overall aging and it affects about 50 million men and 30 million women worldwide. When caught early, preventative treatments can have a significant impact in slowing or stopping hair loss, with some treatments even helping to regrow hair.
Inflammation
Inflammation is your body’s process of fighting against things that harm it, such as infections, injuries or toxins in an attempt to heal itself. While chronic inflammation should be addressed medically or in particular with proper diet, isolated incidents of inflammation (such as injuries) can be helped considerably with laser treatment.
Itchy Scalp & Dandruff
There are a large number of causes for itchy scalp, with the most common being dandruff. This can be caused by a buildup of oil or dead skin, a yeast buildup, stress, hormonal changes or simply using the wrong hair products. High frequency can help treat dandruff and alleviate the symptoms of itchy scalp.
Large Pores
Open pores are usually the result of loss of elastin in the skin, which causes the skin structure around the pore to loosen. When left untreated for years, an additional build-up of oils or dead skin affects this further.
Loose Skin
Loose or sagging skin can become a problem as we age. Somehow our skin just doesn’t bounce back like it used to. Depending on the cause, extent and overall condition, a suitable treatment plan will be tailored to help tighten the skin and restore that youthful bounce!
