Not Just a Facial. Advanced Skin Therapy.

There's a significant difference between a standard facial and advanced skin therapy. A regular facial cleans, hydrates, and relaxes. An advanced skin therapy session uses medical-grade technology and professional-grade actives to genuinely treat your skin at a cellular level — addressing specific concerns, stimulating real biological responses, and delivering results you can actually see and measure.

At Roxy Buchanan Advanced Skincare in Pinetown, every skin therapy session is built around your skin — assessed, designed, and delivered personally by Roxy with over 15 years of certified expertise. Whether you need the deep resurfacing power of BioRePeel, the healing and rejuvenating properties of LED light therapy, the oxygenating and firming effects of Carboxy CO2 therapy, or a fully bespoke treatment protocol combining the best of everything for your specific skin — Roxy delivers it right here in Pinetown.

Our Advanced Skin Therapy Treatments in Pinetown

Each treatment is a standalone protocol — or combined by Roxy into a personalised session designed specifically around your skin's needs at consultation.

Featured Treatment

BioRePeel

BioRePeel is a revolutionary 2-phase TCA peel that goes far beyond standard exfoliation. Phase 1 is the TCA resurfacing component — breaking down and shedding damaged, pigmented, or aged surface skin cells. Phase 2 is the biostimulation component — a complex of amino acids, vitamins, and GABA that actively stimulates new collagen and elastin production, rebuilds the skin's natural barrier, and delivers intense hydration at a cellular level.

The result is skin that is simultaneously resurfaced and biostimulated — brighter, clearer, smoother, and more resilient. Suitable for all skin types, face, neck, décolletage, and body. Minimal downtime. Remarkable results — often visible after a single session.

Advanced Technology

LED Light Therapy

LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy uses specific wavelengths of clinically proven light to target different skin concerns — painlessly, non-invasively, and safely across all skin types. Different wavelengths penetrate the skin at different depths and trigger different biological responses.

Red light (630–700nm) penetrates the dermis to stimulate fibroblast activity, boost collagen and elastin production, and reduce inflammation — making it ideal for anti-ageing, sensitivity, and post-treatment recovery. Blue light (415nm) targets and destroys Propionibacterium acnes — the bacteria responsible for breakouts — reducing active acne safely and without side effects. Near-infrared light penetrates even deeper, accelerating tissue repair, reducing pain and inflammation, and supporting healing after more intensive treatments.

Medical-Grade

KRX Carboxy CO2 Therapy

Carboxy CO2 therapy uses a medical-grade CO2 gel and mask system to create a controlled carbon dioxide environment on the skin. When CO2 is absorbed through the skin, it triggers the Bohr Effect — the body's oxygen-delivery system responds by rushing more oxygen-rich blood to the area to compensate. This dramatically boosts local circulation, accelerates cellular metabolism, and stimulates collagen production.

The result is visibly firmer, more hydrated, more luminous skin — with a measurable reduction in the appearance of fine lines, dark circles, puffiness, acne scars, and stretch marks. A powerful treatment with zero downtime — and one of Roxy's most popular choices for an instant visible result.

Lifting & Firming

KRX V-Tox Higher Power Lift Mask

The KRX V-Tox mask is a unique, high-performance lifting and firming treatment that works through a controlled drying mechanism. As the mask dries on the skin, it physically lifts, tightens, and firms — delivering an immediate, visible contouring effect. But the V-Tox mask also serves as a powerful diagnostic tool: as it dries, it reveals the current condition of your skin. Smooth drying indicates a healthy barrier; bumpy or cracked drying indicates dehydration, congestion, or barrier compromise that needs addressing.

This dual function — treatment and skin assessment in one — makes the V-Tox mask an outstanding choice as a standalone treatment or as part of a comprehensive skin therapy protocol designed by Roxy in Pinetown.

Advanced Device

Bio Pen Q2 — Electroporation & LED

The Bio Pen Q2 is an advanced multi-technology device that combines microneedling with EMS electroporation and LED light therapy in a single treatment. The electroporation component uses electrical pulses to temporarily open micro-channels in the cell membrane — allowing medical-grade serums and active ingredients to penetrate deep into the skin at a cellular level, far beyond what topical application can achieve.

Combined with LED therapy and the collagen-stimulating effect of the microneedling component, the Bio Pen Q2 delivers a powerful, multi-layered skin therapy result — enhanced ingredient absorption, collagen stimulation, and light therapy in one comprehensive session.

Personalised Skin Therapy Session

Not every skin needs the same thing — and not every visit calls for the same protocol. Roxy's bespoke skin therapy sessions are built fresh at each consultation — assessing your skin's current state, combining the right modalities in the right sequence, and adapting the protocol as your skin changes and improves over time.

A bespoke session might combine BioRePeel with LED therapy, or Carboxy with the V-Tox mask, or microneedling with electroporation and targeted serums — whatever your skin needs on that day, designed by 15+ years of expert knowledge and delivered personally by Roxy in Pinetown.

Why Advanced Skin Therapy — Not a Regular Facial

Here's exactly why clients across Pinetown, Hillcrest, Westville and Pinetown choose Roxy's advanced skin therapy over a standard salon facial — and why the results are in a completely different league.

Medical-Grade Technology

Roxy uses professional-grade devices and medical-grade products that are not available in standard salon settings. These deliver results that simply cannot be achieved with consumer-grade products and equipment — regardless of how good the technique.

Treats Skin at a Cellular Level

Advanced skin therapy doesn't just work on the skin surface. BioRePeel, LED, Carboxy, and electroporation all work at a cellular level — triggering biological responses, stimulating collagen, and delivering actives deep into the dermis where real change happens.

Genuinely Personalised Every Time

Every treatment is assessed and designed by Roxy for your skin on that specific day — not a menu option you pick from a laminated card. Your skin changes; your treatment should too. Roxy adapts your protocol at every visit.

Results You Can Actually See

Clients don't leave feeling "relaxed" — they leave looking visibly better. Clearer skin, reduced pigmentation, improved texture, lifted and firmed appearance. Real, measurable results that build with each session.

15+ Years of Certified Expertise

Every treatment is performed by Roxy personally — a certified advanced skin therapist trained at European institutions with over 15 years of hands-on experience. The knowledge and precision she brings to every session is what makes the difference.

A Long-Term Skin Investment

Advanced skin therapy is not a one-off indulgence — it's a long-term investment in your skin's health and appearance. Clients who commit to a course of treatments and the right home care see cumulative, progressive improvement that keeps getting better.

What to Expect at Your Skin Therapy Session

A clear, honest look at what your advanced skin therapy experience looks like at our Pinetown clinic — from your first consultation to your ongoing treatment journey.

Step 1

Free Consultation & Skin Assessment

Roxy begins with a thorough skin assessment — analysing your skin type, current concerns, previous treatments, and lifestyle factors. She then designs your personalised treatment protocol and explains exactly what she's recommending and why. No obligation, no pressure.

Step 2

Skin Preparation & Cleansing

Your skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepped before treatment begins — removing makeup, SPF, and any product residue. This ensures maximum efficacy of the treatments applied and prevents any interference with the technology used.

Step 3

Your Personalised Treatment Protocol

Roxy delivers your bespoke treatment — whether that's BioRePeel, LED, Carboxy, V-Tox, Bio Pen Q2, or a combination. Each step is explained as it's performed and adapted based on your skin's real-time response. Sessions typically run 45–75 minutes.

Step 4

Post-Treatment Skincare

Soothing, hydrating serums and SPF are applied at the end of your session to support recovery and protect your skin before you leave. You'll look and feel refreshed — most clients describe their skin as glowing immediately after treatment.

Step 5

Home Care Protocol

Roxy gives you a precise home care protocol — the right products, in the right order, used correctly between sessions. What you do at home between appointments plays a significant role in your overall results and the speed of your improvement.

Ongoing

Progressive Skin Transformation

Each session builds on the last. Over a course of treatments — spaced at Roxy's recommended intervals — your skin progressively improves in clarity, texture, tone, and overall health. The cumulative results of consistent advanced skin therapy are genuinely transformative.

Aftercare — Do's & Don'ts

General aftercare guidelines for advanced skin therapy sessions in Pinetown — Roxy will give you specific instructions based on the exact treatments performed at your session.

✓ Do

Apply SPF Every Morning

Sun protection is essential after any skin therapy treatment. A broad-spectrum SPF 30+ applied every morning protects your results, prevents new pigmentation, and supports your skin's healing process between sessions.

✓ Do

Follow Your Home Care Protocol

Use the products Roxy recommends in the correct order. The right home care actives between sessions accelerate your results and maintain the work done in the clinic — don't underestimate how much difference this makes.

✓ Do

Keep Skin Hydrated

Well-hydrated skin heals faster, tolerates active ingredients better, and responds more effectively to treatment. Use the moisturiser Roxy recommends morning and evening, and drink plenty of water between sessions.

✓ Do

Be Consistent

Advanced skin therapy delivers its best results through consistent, regular sessions. Stick to the treatment schedule Roxy recommends — the cumulative effect of well-spaced, consistently delivered treatments is what transforms skin over time.

✗ Don't

Avoid Active Ingredients Post-Treatment

Avoid retinol, AHAs, BHAs, and vitamin C for 5–7 days after more intensive treatments like BioRePeel or microneedling sessions. These can irritate post-treatment skin — Roxy will advise you on exactly when to reintroduce them.

✗ Don't

No Heat for 24–48 Hours

Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot baths, and intense exercise for 24–48 hours after treatment. Heat increases inflammation and in some skin types may increase the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.

✗ Don't

Avoid Direct Sun Exposure

Stay out of direct sunlight for at least 48 hours after treatment and use SPF diligently. Freshly treated skin is more vulnerable to UV damage — especially in KZN's intense UV climate.

✗ Don't

Don't Pick or Rub the Skin

After treatments involving any resurfacing component (like BioRePeel), allow any flaking or peeling to happen naturally. Never pick, rub, or peel the skin manually — this risks scarring and pigmentation.

Skin Therapy FAQs

Everything you need to know about advanced skin therapy and facials in Pinetown — answered honestly by Roxy.

What is the difference between a regular facial and advanced skin therapy?

A regular facial uses standard spa-grade products and techniques to cleanse and hydrate the skin. Advanced skin therapy uses medical-grade technology, professional-grade actives, and targeted protocols to treat skin at a cellular level — stimulating real biological responses and delivering measurable, lasting results that a standard facial simply cannot achieve.

What is BioRePeel and what makes it different from a regular peel?

BioRePeel is a 2-phase TCA peel that combines chemical exfoliation with active biostimulation — it doesn't just remove dead skin, it simultaneously stimulates new collagen and elastin production. Unlike standard peels, it rebuilds the skin's natural barrier while resurfacing, resulting in skin that is both clearer and stronger after treatment. Minimal downtime. Suitable for all skin types.

What does LED light therapy do for skin?

LED therapy uses clinically proven light wavelengths to trigger specific biological responses. Red light stimulates collagen production and reduces inflammation. Blue light destroys acne-causing bacteria. Near-infrared light penetrates deeper to accelerate tissue repair. It is painless, non-invasive, and safe across all skin types — often used by Roxy to enhance and support other treatments.

What is Carboxy CO2 therapy and what does it treat?

Carboxy CO2 therapy applies a medical-grade CO2 gel and mask to the skin, triggering the Bohr Effect — the body rushes oxygen-rich blood to the treated area, boosting circulation, collagen production, and skin firmness. It visibly firms, hydrates, and brightens the skin with zero downtime — excellent for dark circles, puffiness, acne scars, and overall skin quality.

How do I know which skin therapy treatment is right for me?

Roxy will assess your skin thoroughly at your free consultation and recommend the most appropriate treatment or combination for your specific concerns, skin type, and goals. There is no one-size-fits-all — every protocol at our Pinetown clinic is built around your individual skin.
