Dermaplaning now @ Woman in Nelson

May 5, 2021 by w b

At Woman in Nelson, we’ve recently introduced dermaplaning to our list of treatments. Dermaplaning is a safe, easy and non-invasive treatment designed to make the skin feel smoother, appear healthier and more youthful. We use a scalpel handle and a 10-gauge scalpel blade to smooth out the skin gently. It removes the top layer of the skin surface (epidermis), thus removing dead skin cells and minor skin imperfections such as congestion.

It goes without saying that you don’t want those tools of the trade in the hands of an inexperienced user… But at Woman, we see the value of investing in training for our team of therapists.

Our team completed a full day’s training involving a morning of theory. After this, we had an afternoon of practical assessment, including individual case studies. Our trainer has over 17 years of experience in dermaplaning and was a wealth of knowledge for us. She also provides us with ongoing support and education. We see this investment as critical because it means we can offer you the very best service and results possible.

Dermaplaning now at Woman in Nelson. A solution for facial peach-fuzz

Dermaplaning FAQs:

We know that this is a new treatment for many of you. So, in this article, we thought we would try to cover the questions clients ask us most frequently about dermaplaning when they visit us at our Nelson spa. Read on for all the info!

What issues can derma-planing help with?

Dermaplaning is popular as the solution to everyone’s peach fuzz concerns. But, it is also an advanced facial treatment due to the highly exfoliating nature of the treatment.

Furthermore, while Dermaplaning itself does not treat wrinkles or scarring, the skin is extremely permeable post-dermaplaning. This means that other facial modalities and treatments, like IPL, are far more effective after dermaplaning. However, this is only true where the skin is healthy. This is why a consultation with a skin therapist is required before dermaplaning.

Is it suitable for anyone?

Dermaplaning is unsuitable for some people. We’ve compiled a list of instances where it is unsuitable below, but, once again, we always require that you book a consultation before service so that we can discuss any personal issues or circumstances with you.

Dermaplaning is unsuitable for:

  • Active, puss-filled acne
  • Sunburned skin
  • Accutane or other prescription Vitamin A users
  • Extremely sensitive skins
  • Eczema, dermatitis or psoriasis
  • Chemo or radiation treatment in the last year
  • Clients that take blood-thinning medication or with bleeding or clotting disorders
  • If there is an endocrine imbalance such as PCOS, endo, pregnancy and menopause, then the treatment may not be right for you.

How long will a treatment last?

Treatments are best up kept every 4-6 weeks depending on age and cell turnover.

Is it painful, and does it need any recovery time?

Dermaplaning is not painful at all. There is no recovery time. However, we send clients home with 7 days of post-treatment instructions to care for their skin correctly.

Can somebody get results after one treatment?

Yes! You will absolutely see results from one treatment! However, upkeep is required to maintain the results.

Autumn Facials on Special @ Woman!

March 10, 2021 by w b

As temperatures start to cool in Nelson, it’s time to think about how the changing seasons can affect your skin. Crisper air and seasonal breezes can play havoc on your skin. Generally, it will become drier, which can result in redness, sensitivity, and irritation. It’s common for your skin to feel a little lack-lustre at this time of year. That’s why we’ve included three facial treatments in our seasonal specials for Autumn. Read on to discover which autumn facials are on special and why we know you’ll love them!

Autumn Facials on special at Woman, Nelson

Autumn Facials on Special!

Anti-Ageing Trio:

First up is a long-standing favourite, the Anti-Ageing Trio. This facial combines the anti-ageing benefits of a glycolic exfoliation with our red LED light to stimulate collagen and elastin production before finishing off with the 02 facial to visibly plump fine lines and increase luminosity.

Here’s why you’ll love it. Firstly the glycolic exfoliation will help you shed dead skin cells and reveal the newer, brighter layers underneath. The red LED light increases your skin’s natural hydration levels, reducing redness and inflammation while also stimulating collagen. So your face feels firmer. The O2 facial completes the process, nourishing your skin, so you leave with a healthy glow and luminous skin.

Buy yours HERE and save $60.

Ultraceuticals A-Zyme Retinol Peel:

This fast-acting, non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment combines proven anti-ageing ingredients Retinol and Bromelain to refresh, hydrate and plump the skin. We recommend a course of this treatment for the best results.

Why we know you’ll love it… If you’re regretting sun exposure and noticing the effect of too many Nelson summer beach days on your skin, this treatment will help combat the effects of UV damage. Immediately after treatment, your skin will feel plump, dewy and hydrated. While you’ll definitely see a difference in your skin after a single treatment, we recommend a course for longer-lasting and maximum results.

Buy yours HERE and save $40.

Sothys New Cryo Eye & Neck Treatment

Okay, not so much an autumn facial but still a seasonal special we know you’ll fall in love with because of its targeted results. The eye and neck area are often areas of concern for our clients post 35 years. And this treatment is the answer! It will visibly reduce puffiness and dark under-eye circles, as well as firming the neck and jowls.

Buy yours HERE and save $60.


While we wanted to highlight our autumn facials on special in this article, we also thought it was a perfect opportunity to tell you about the Ultrceuticals RVR Challenge. Real Visible Results in ninety days! After your facial, let us prescribe the best Ultraceuticals home care products to suit your needs. You will receive a FREE Daily protective moisturiser SPF 30 in either Mattifying or Hydrating formulation when you purchase your Ultraceuticals cleanser, serum and (night time) moisturiser. Saving $93 on the RRP! Even if you haven’t booked an autumn facial, you can still take part in the RVR Challenge, call into our Nelson city home for a skin consult, and we’ll find the right products to meet your needs.

Finally, there are just a few spaces left for our Observ Skin Diagnostics event at Woman Beauty, Nelson. Find out more about the event HERE.

Three Ways to get a Party-Ready Look!

November 10, 2020 by w b

How lovely that the days are longer and the sun is shining. December is not far away and luckily for us (unlike much of the world), we can look forward to seasonal get-togethers this year. So, it’s time to think about your party-ready look.

In this blog, we thought we’d share three ways to help you get your social glow on… Read on to discover more!

Party-Ready Look

Three Ways to get a Party-Ready Look:

Give your Skin a Festive Facial:

The key to your party-ready look lies in the preparation. So, what better way to give your skin a seasonal glow than with a festive facial. Take a look at this article from the archives to discover some of our most-loved facials. Of course, it goes without saying that you shouldn’t leave your facial until the day of your party. Instead, book this relaxing treat about a week before you want to get your glam on.

Remember all our facials include a complimentary eyebrow tidy.

Handbag Essentials:

Go from daytime to party-ready look with a few handbag essentials from Jane Iredale.

  • Tantasia® Self Tanner & Bronzer will give you a sun-kissed glow, without the exposure.
  • Be sure your makeup stays put all night with a Jane Iredale Hydration Spray. We stock a range of these refreshing spritzers, so talk to us about the best choice for you.
  • Get the perfect party pout with the Sugar&Butter Lip Exfoliator/Plumper.
  • Don’t forget your peepers… The Longest Lash Thickening and Lengthening Mascara will help you build volume for a dramatic evening look.

Prepare to Bare:

Strapless or strappy… If your party frock reveals your shoulders, back or legs then a beautiful, natural looking tan will certainly enhance your party-ready look. The Sunescape Spray Tan at Woman comes in three natural colours light, medium or dark.

Are you ready to get party-ready? Call us to book your appointment, we can’t wait to help you celebrate the season!

Spring Facials as Nelson Blooms!

October 16, 2020 by w b

As we transition into Nelson’s warmer months, you’ll likely notice a significant change in your skin. You may be left with dry and lipid impaired skin, which is the main cause of sensitive skin. Or you may just need to ensure your skin is in optimal health to tolerate the environmental factors this season will send your way. Pollen and high UV exposure require a game plan! So, in this week’s article, we’re talking spring facials.

Spring Facials in Nelson

Prepare for the Season with one of our Recommended Spring Facials:

Generally, at this time of year, we recommend an antioxidant and moisture-rich facial to give your skin a seasonal boost. But our skin therapists can make facial recommendations specific to you and your skin. You are welcome to call into the Spa for advice before booking. In the meantime here are three Spring facials to consider.

The O2 Facial:

A long-standing favourite, this facial is a must if your skin feels particularly dehydrated from winter. It incorporates hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a cocktail of vitamins and antioxidants and hyaluronic acid for an instant, visible boost of hydration and luminosity. This is also perfect before special social occasions. So, it’s a great one to consider as the festive period gets closer.

The Sothys Soothing Facial:

If your skin feels sensitive or irritated as spring starts, the Sothys Soothing facial is a perfect solution! This is an ultra-gentle soothing treatment that incorporates thermal spa water’s natural occurring soothing and cooling properties to calm even the most sensitive of skins.

The Express Facial:

Short on time but still want the benefits of a professional facial treatment? Our Express Facial covers all the basics. Your therapist will customise this treatment, especially for you. They will select from our advanced professional skincare products, based purely on your needs at the time of treatment.


Regular Maintenance is a Must:

If you are committed to looking after your skin and prevent premature ageing. Or if you need to treat a specific skin concern, then you will see the best results with monthly facials. Spring and summer can be harsh on the skin as pollutants are higher, as is UV exposure. You’ll also notice more sebaceous activity as your body temperature heats up. Monthly facials will help keep you feeling confident as you go make-up free over summer!

Let’s Take it Home:

When people ask us about the importance of home skincare following a facial, we like to use a little analogy.

You wouldn’t expect weight loss results from one personal training session a month, with no other exercise, would you? You know that to get results you have to put in the work every day, even when you do not see your PT!

Similarly, home skincare is vital if you’re going to get the best results from your professional spring facial. What you apply every single day to your skin is going to make the biggest difference! Using high-quality products on your skin ensures healthy cell turnover, antioxidant protection, optimal barrier function and keeps the build-up of dead, dry skin on the surface; this affects both the skins appearance and the penetration of your products.


3 Reasons to Book your Facial at Woman in Nelson:

Finally, we thought we’d wrap up with three reasons to book your Spring facial at Woman in Nelson.

Professional Advice:

We love the skin! We have studied it and worked extensively on it for years! We want you to be happy in the skin you are in, so you can ask us anything 😊. We are always more than happy to offer guidance on the treatments and home care products that will help you achieve your skin goals!

Active Ingredients:

As a professional spa we have access to products that contain much higher percentages of active ingredients than those available over the counter at your local chemist or supermarket. Active ingredients are the ones that get deep down into the living tissue of your skin and communicate with the cells to make real changes within the structure of the skin.

Relaxation:

As if we would forget this… Life is busier and more stressful than ever! It is so important to take time out for yourself, even if you can only manage an hour. We specialise in a truly relaxing experience here at Woman in Nelson and pride ourselves on creating a little oasis of peace away from all the stresses of day to day life.

Post-Lockdown Beauty Treatments

June 4, 2020 by w b

At Woman, we love the fact that we can welcome you back to our Nelson Day Spa for your post-lockdown beauty treatments. We have a few new practices in place to keep you safe (find the details here). Many of you have visited us for maintenance treatments over the last two weeks. So, in this post, we thought we’d share some of our more popular post-lockdown beauty treatments to inspire your next visit.

post-lockdown beauty treatments nelson

Popular Post-Lockdown Beauty Treatments:

Fighting the Fuzz

During the lockdown, we understand that you might have resorted to the razor. You may even have regrettably delved into the realms of home waxing… It’s a messy affair, isn’t it?! But now we’re back on deck lots of you are recommencing your regular waxing routines. If you’re not, now is the time to consider booking regular maintenance appointments. With consistent waxing, you could find that hair regrowth is both finer and slower. So, eventually, you may even be able to leave it a little longer between appointments.

Happy Hands

Some of you spent lockdown hiding your fingernails out of Zoom shot… So, understandably manicures have been a must-have post-lockdown beauty treatment. We know that elbow-bumping is more popular than shaking hands these days. But that doesn’t mean you should forego the fabulous first impression that well-kept hands can make. For longer-lasting results, don’t forget to book a shellac manicure.

Favourite Facials

Many of you will have been makeup-free over lockdown. While that can have some benefits for your skin, it still has to contend with a seasonal transition as we head into colder months.

If you only manage to fit in a facial a few times a year, then the change of season is the perfect time to squeeze one in. Firstly, it will help prepare your skin for the harsh environmental factors it’s sure to encounter as the temperature changes. Secondly, it’s an excellent opportunity for one of our therapists to review your skin. We can advise you on any products we think will benefit your autumn and winter skincare routine.


Alert Level 2 means that you can connect and socialise with your friends and family again. Don’t let a lack of maintenance keep you hidden away. Visit Woman Beauty Nelson for your post-lockdown beauty treatments.

Teenage Skin and How We Help

February 27, 2020 by w b

At Woman Beauty in Nelson, our experienced therapists can help your skin look its best, no matter what your age. In this week’s article we thought we’d focus on teenage skin and how we help.

teenage skin

Teenage Skin & How We Help:

The teenage years are full of hormonal changes, and these can have an adverse effect on teenage skin. Characteristically, teenage skin sees an increase in sebum production, resulting in oily skin and sometimes, acne.

Skincare for teenage skin:

Firstly, when it comes to teenage skin issues, prevention is always better than cure. At Woman, we’re proud to be exclusive Nelson stockists of the premier range of facial cosmeceuticals, Ultraceuticals.

Ultraceuticals is one of Australia’s pre-eminent cosmeceutical brands. The range offers professional-grade products formulated to address major skin concerns, including acne. So, the result is your best-ever skin, no matter what your age!

Cosmeceuticals contain active ingredients (10%- 25%). These ingredients make actual changes in the second layer of the skin and work by getting the skin to function and perform as it should. The ingredients in cosmeceuticals also help to look after and protect the important lipid barrier of the skin, allowing for better penetration of the active ingredients.

It’s never too soon to encourage your teenager to adopt a healthy skincare regime. Do call into the spa, we are always happy to discuss any teenage skin concerns and recommend suitable products.

First Facial:

Here at Woman we specialise and are trained in advanced skincare facials. We will give you honest advice and outstanding service with successful results. A facial isn’t just an anti-ageing treatment, the right facial can also be beneficial for teenagers.

If you know a teenager who suffers from red or sensitive teenage skin the Sothys Soothing Facial could be just the ticket.

Additionally, if you are in your latter teenage years and would like to address acne scarring, talk to us about Dermapen 4 treatment.

Once again, we are happy to offer advice on the right facial for your skin concerns, just call into the spa for advice or contact us HERE.

Why you need a summer facial

January 22, 2020 by w b

In the middle of summer, we understand that it’s tempting to let your regular facials slip. Your skin feels like it has a radiant summer glow. It doesn’t necessarily feel tight and dry like it does over the winter months. Plus, you enjoy the warming relaxation of facials in winter, but don’t feel you need that rejuvenating comfort as much in the summertime. But you do! In this week’s blog article, we thought we’d share three reasons why you need a summer facial!

Why you need a summer facial:

Repair your skin:

A weekend spent at the beach, camping or hiking can take its toll on your skin. Gritty dust and sand, combined with layers of sunscreen can clog your pores and leave you glowing for all the wrong reasons. But that doesn’t mean you should stop enjoying fun summer weekends! Just be sure to book in a facial to repair any skin damage.

Our popular 02 Facial rejuvenates your skin with hyperbaric oxygen technology. A beautiful calming treatment incorporating anti-oxidants and vitamins; it provides instant results you can see and feel.

Protect your skin:

Even with sunscreen, sun exposure will lead to dehydrated skin. While dryness might not seem as obvious in the summertime your skin will still be parched. When your skin is dehydrated, it creates oil to make up for the missing water. This, in turn, can lead to breakouts and pimples. So, the best way to avoid this is to ensure your skin is suitably hydrated.

The Sothys Hydra 3Ha Facial is the perfect solution. As the crème de la crème of facials, it creates a unique triple Hyaluronic acid approach to restore, reactivate and rejuvenate all the key elements of skin hydration. It offers 70% increased skin moisture levels after just one treatment.

It’s always time to relax:

At Woman Beauty Day Spa every facial comes with a healthy dose of relaxation, and that includes our summer facials. We keep our rooms at the perfect temperature for you to be able to lie back and drift off.
