All you need to know about WiQo
When it comes to your skin care outcomes, informing yourself of the many options that are available is an important step, as skin care is not a one size fits all approach and there are innovative approaches to skin care being developed on a regular basis.
In this blog we’ll provide an overview of the WiQo Lifting and Brightening Programme, a non-invasive skin treatment available at The Face Collective.
What is WiQo?
The WiQo Lifting and Brightening Programme is an advanced skin treatment that is undertaken with the guidance of a Skin Specialist. It is a unique treatment that spans over in clinic treatment as well as a prescribed at home protocol. The aim of the treatment is to continue to support your skin in the restorative process over the whole course of the treatment which helps achieve long lasting results. The result is smoother and firmer skin that is noticeable after the first treatment.
The standard full course of the WiQo treatment involves 5 in clinic treatments, every 7 – 10 days combined with at home care protocol in between treatments. The effects last up to 8 months before another course is recommended.
This treatment is perfect for those looking for skin treatments that don’t involve needles and is non-invasive! Along the way you will receive personalised guidance and support in line with your unique skin requirements.
Who is this treatment suited for?
This treatment is a great option for a variety of skin concerns such as:
- Photodamaged, wrinkled, lax and dull skin
- Loss of facial contour definition
- Prevention of loss in elasticity
- Skin texture improvement
At The Face Collective, a complimentary consultation with our Skin Specialist is required in clinic prior to commencing the WiQo treatment in order to assess your suitability for this treatment.
There are certain skin types and skin conditions that this treatment is not suitable for, so it is important to ensure you have the initial consultation to determine suitability.
Your Skin Specialist will assess your requirements and determine the appropriate treatment plan in line with your skin. This will help in informing your decision on next steps for your skin care.
What is involved in the Three Step Lifting and Brightening Programme
The WiQo treatment is a three-step process that begins in clinic with you Skin Specialist applying a massage technique that activates the process within your skin that creates brightness and uplift. This is followed by an at home protocol that continues to support your skin’s regeneration in between treatments.
Essentially the Wiqo treatment is 3 simple steps:
-
Activate Stimulation. This is your in clinic treatment. The treatment is applied to the skin to stimulate the skin and start repair process. Results are noticeable immediately after the first treatment. You will notice you skin appears smoother and firmer (the full course will need to be completed for long term results).
-
Nourish & Protect. You will be provided with the WiQo Nourishing and Moisturising Cream which is a thick cream that is applied to the treated area. This helps with dryness and to soothe the skin. This at home care treatment occurs in between your in clinic treatments.
- Continue the Stimulation. The WiQo Smoothing Face Fluid is added to your treatment and is applied as part of your daily home care protocol.This step stimulates your skin on a daily basis and retains the ongoing skin restorative process that was activated as part of the in clinic treatment.
Reminder: there are no needles or invasive techniques used during the course!
What are the advantages of WiQo
Immediate lifting and brightening effect
The WiQo Three Step Lifting and Brightening Programme ultimately helps the skin become smoother, brighter and silkier. The treatment naturally improves the skin tone and there is a noticeable lifting effect (due to dermal volume enhancement) that is evident immediately after the first treatment. This lifting effect is retained long term after the full course of five treatments is completed.
Minimal discomfort
As mentioned, this treatment is non-invasive and does not involves needles. The treatment itself feels very tingly on the skin, however it is very enjoyable with the specific massage technique that is used as part of treatment application.
Minimal downtime
Some flaking and dryness may occur on the skin. The home treatment protocol which includes a thick and nourishing face cream will soothe and help with any dryness. As a result, this treatment has minimal downtime and can be used all year round, even during summer!
Final thoughts
We love that the WiQo treatment is non-invasive, has minimal downtime and immediate results after the first treatment, as well as long-term results over the full course. Â As always, it is important to consult with a qualified Skin Specialist who will be able to guide you through the treatment process and support your overall skin journey.
