The answers to the questions our clients ask most often, from what to expect at your first consultation to how our treatments actually work.

About Skin Reform

What is Skin Reform?

Skin Reform is an aesthetic and laser spa with four locations across South Africa: Sandton, Greenstone, Centurion and Cape Town. We specialise in advanced non-surgical treatments including laser hair removal, microneedling, fractional CO² laser resurfacing, fat freezing, HIFU, HydraFacial, IV drips, mesotherapy and PRP therapy.

Every treatment is delivered by qualified specialists using medical-grade equipment, in a warm, professional setting focused on real, visible results.

Where are Skin Reform spas located?

We have four spas across South Africa, all offering the same treatment menu at the same prices:

Sandton at 135 Daisy Street, Sandown. Greenstone at Stoneridge Office Park, Modderfontein. Centurion at 148 Willem Botha Street, Wierda Park. Cape Town at Shop B4, Milnerton Business Park.

Is my first consultation really free?

Yes. Your first skin consultation is complimentary at any Skin Reform spa. It’s a proper, no-pressure conversation where our specialists assess your skin, discuss your goals, explain your treatment options and answer every question you have. You’re never obligated to book a treatment on the day. Book your free consultation here.

Are all Skin Reform treatments medically supervised?

All treatments are performed by qualified aesthetic specialists trained in the equipment and protocols they use. Medical-grade treatments such as PRP, mesotherapy, fat-burning injections and intimate rejuvenation are delivered under strict clinical protocols. Every treatment plan is preceded by a thorough consultation and skin assessment.

Treatments & Safety

Which treatment is right for my skin concern?

The right treatment depends on what you’re trying to achieve. For pigmentation, we typically recommend IPL Photofacial or fractional CO² laser. For scarring, texture or fine lines, microneedling or RF microneedling. For stubborn fat, fat freezing or lipolysis injections.

Your free consultation is designed exactly for this: our team will listen, assess your skin, and recommend the treatment path that’s safest and most effective for you.

Are your treatments safe for all skin tones?

Yes. Our diode laser platforms are safe and effective across the full Fitzpatrick skin type range, including deeper skin tones. Non-laser treatments such as microneedling, HydraFacial, mesotherapy and RF treatments are also suitable for all skin types when performed by qualified specialists.

Your specialist will always assess your skin and medical history before treatment to make sure the settings, protocols and products are calibrated correctly for you.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

Most clients describe our diode laser hair removal as a warm, tingling sensation similar to a light rubber-band snap. Our platforms include integrated cooling technology to keep the treatment comfortable, and we can adjust intensity based on your sensitivity. Most sessions on smaller areas take under 15 minutes.

Is there downtime after treatments like microneedling or laser?

Most treatments have minimal downtime. Expect mild redness or slight sensitivity for 24 to 48 hours after microneedling and laser resurfacing. Fat freezing, HydraFacial, IV drips and mesotherapy have essentially no downtime, so most clients return straight to their day.

Your specialist will provide detailed aftercare instructions and let you know exactly what to expect before you book.

How many sessions will I need?

This varies by treatment and by individual. Laser hair removal typically requires 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Microneedling usually delivers best results with a course of 3 to 6 sessions. Fat freezing may need 1 to 3 sessions per area depending on your goals. PRP therapy is normally recommended as a course of 3 sessions.

Your consultation will include an honest, realistic treatment plan and expected timelines. We never oversell sessions you don’t need.

Booking & Payments

How do I book an appointment?

The fastest way to book is via our contact page or WhatsApp. Each spa has its own dedicated WhatsApp line listed on its location page. You can also call us directly during business hours (Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 17:00).

How much do treatments cost?

Prices are consistent across all four spas. Treatments start from R 200 for a vitamin shot and range up to R 5,800 for our most advanced multi-area fractional CO² laser resurfacing sessions. Most single-area treatments fall between R 650 and R 2,500.

See the full price list for exact pricing on every treatment we offer.

What payment methods do you accept?

All Skin Reform spas accept cash, card and EFT. VAT (15%) applies at checkout and is included in the prices shown on our price list. Treatment packages are available on request at every spa for clients wanting to bundle multiple sessions.

Can I buy a Skin Reform voucher as a gift?

Yes. Vouchers are available for any of our treatments and make ideal birthday, anniversary or thank-you gifts. Browse our full treatment menu to purchase a voucher for yourself or someone else. Vouchers are redeemable at any Skin Reform location.

Aftercare & Results

When will I see results?

Results depend on the treatment. HydraFacial, IV drips and Carbon Hollywood peels deliver an immediate glow you’ll see the same day. Microneedling and laser resurfacing show progressive improvement over 4 to 12 weeks as collagen rebuilds. Fat freezing results become visible from 6 to 12 weeks post-treatment as your body metabolises fat cells.

Your specialist will set realistic expectations at your consultation and often provide before-and-after examples relevant to your treatment.

What aftercare do I need to follow?

Aftercare varies by treatment but the essentials are similar: use high-SPF sunscreen daily, avoid direct sun and heat (including saunas and hot showers) for 24 to 48 hours, and follow the specific product regimen your specialist recommends.

You’ll receive detailed written aftercare instructions after every treatment. Following them properly is the difference between good results and great results.
