  • Skin needling is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve the overall texture, appearance, and health of the skin. It is ideal for anyone wanting to improve concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, enlarged pores, dehydration, pigmentation, acne scarring, and ageing skin.

    This treatment works by creating gentle stimulation within the skin using a specialised vibrating device, encouraging the skin’s natural repair response and the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. These are essential components that help give the skin a smoother, firmer, plumper, and more hydrated appearance.

    Our skin needling treatment is non-invasive, does not draw blood, and requires minimal downtime, making it suitable for many skin types, including sensitive skin. However, clients with active acne may not be suitable for treatment until the skin has settled.

    For best results, we generally recommend a course of six treatments performed every two weeks. A skin consultation is required prior to commencing treatment to ensure suitability and to create a personalised treatment plan for your skin concerns and goals.

  • At Beauty by Vicky, we treat acne-prone and congested skin using the pHformula skin resurfacing system, an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve the overall health and function of the skin in a controlled and non-invasive manner.

    Unlike traditional harsh peels, pHformula uses advanced resurfacing solutions and pharmaceutical-grade active ingredients to target the main causes of acne, including excess oil, congestion, inflammation, acne-causing bacteria, and uneven skin texture.

    Depending on your skin concerns, treatments may include a customised combination of active ingredients such as salicylic acid, mandelic acid, azelaic acid, and other professional resurfacing solutions designed to deeply exfoliate, calm inflammation, support skin healing, and improve overall skin clarity.

    We may also incorporate LED light therapy and professional home care recommendations to support the skin throughout the treatment journey and help maintain long-term results.

    As every skin is different, there is no exact number of treatments suitable for everyone. Most clients begin with one treatment every two weeks, with treatments gradually extended to every three weeks and then monthly depending on the improvement and condition of the skin.

    A personalised home care routine is an essential part of achieving optimal results, as professional treatments and home care work hand in hand to improve the skin over time.

  • At Beauty by Vicky, we treat hyperpigmentation using the pHformula skin resurfacing system, an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment designed to help improve uneven skin tone, sun damage, post-inflammatory pigmentation, and overall skin clarity in a controlled and non-invasive manner.

    These treatments use advanced resurfacing solutions and pharmaceutical-grade active ingredients designed to help regulate excess melanin production while gently encouraging skin renewal and exfoliation. The goal of treatment is to gradually lighten, brighten, and improve the overall appearance of pigmentation and uneven skin tone over time.

    Depending on your skin concerns and goals, we may also incorporate LED light therapy to support overall skin health and rejuvenation throughout the treatment process.

    A personalised home care routine and daily SPF are essential when treating pigmentation, as professional treatments and home care work hand in hand to achieve and maintain optimal results.

Most clients require a minimum of three treatments, with treatment plans customised to suit the individual needs and condition of the skin.

    These treatments are suitable for clients experiencing concerns such as chronic redness, sensitivity, visible capillaries, rosacea-prone skin, inflammation, and a weakened skin barrier.

    Using gentle resurfacing solutions and pharmaceutical-grade active ingredients, treatments are designed to help reduce redness, improve hydration, strengthen the skin barrier, and support healthier, more resilient skin over time.

    Because sensitive and reactive skin requires a careful approach, we first focus on restoring and strengthening the skin barrier before progressing into more advanced corrective treatments where appropriate.

    Depending on your skin concerns and goals, we may also incorporate LED light therapy and personalised home care recommendations to further calm and support the skin throughout the treatment process.

  • Yes. At Beauty By Vicky, we offer both male and female waxing services in a professional, comfortable, and hygienic environment.

    We provide a range of face and body treatments and tailor each service to suit your skin sensitivity and comfort where possible.

  • How often you should wax will depend on the area being treated, your hair growth cycle, and your personal preference.

    Facial waxing, such as eyebrow waxing, is commonly maintained from approximately every 2 to 4 weeks depending on hair growth and desired shape maintenance.

    Body waxing can vary between every 3 to 6 weeks depending on the treatment area. Areas such as underarms or half legs may require maintenance closer to every 3 to 4 weeks, while treatments such as Brazilian waxing, chest waxing, arms, and larger body areas are generally maintained from approximately every 6 weeks.

    Regular waxing appointments may help reduce discomfort over time and assist in maintaining smoother results and more consistent hair growth.

  • For best results, hair should generally be at least the length of a grain of rice or approximately 2 to 3 weeks of growth. Hair that is too short may not remove effectively during the waxing treatment.

  • To help maintain smooth skin and prevent ingrown hairs after waxing, we recommend regular gentle exfoliation and hydration as part of your home care routine.

    We recommend waiting approximately 3 days after waxing before exfoliating the area to allow the skin time to settle. After this period, you can gently exfoliate the skin in the shower using an exfoliating mitt or glove together with your body wash on a regular basis.

    Keeping the skin hydrated is also essential. We recommend using a gentle and nourishing body moisturiser, such as our Pure Fiji body lotion or body butter, to help soften the skin and support healthy skin function.

    Consistent exfoliation, hydration, and regular waxing maintenance may help reduce congestion, dryness, and ingrown hairs while keeping the skin feeling smooth and healthy. 

  • For the best spray tan results, we recommend exfoliating the skin the day before your appointment to remove dry skin and create a smooth surface for the tan application.

    Any waxing, shaving, or beauty treatments should ideally be completed at least 24 hours prior to your appointment.

    On the day of your spray tan, please do not apply any moisturiser, deodorant, perfumes, oils, or makeup, as these products may create a barrier on the skin and affect the development of the tan.

    We also recommend leaving jewellery at home where possible and wearing loose, dark clothing after your appointment to allow the tan to develop evenly. Open-toe shoes or thongs are recommended unless weather conditions require closed shoes. 

  • Spray tans generally last approximately 4 to 7 days depending on your skin type, preparation, aftercare, lifestyle, and how well the skin is maintained after the treatment.

    Factors such as swimming in pools or at the beach, excessive sweating, long hot showers, and frequent exfoliation may cause the tan to fade more quickly.

    To help maintain your spray tan for as long as possible, we recommend keeping the skin well hydrated by applying moisturiser daily and avoiding long periods of time in the shower. Gentle care of the skin may help the tan fade more evenly and extend the overall result.

  • To help maintain your spray tan and keep it looking even for as long as possible, we recommend moisturising the skin daily using a gentle and hydrating body moisturiser such as our Pure Fiji Body Lotion or Pure Fiji Body Butter. Keeping the skin hydrated may help prevent dryness and uneven fading.

    Avoid long hot showers, excessive exfoliation, chlorine, swimming at the beach or in pools, and excessive sweating where possible, as these factors may cause the tan to fade more quickly.

    Gently pat the skin dry after showering rather than rubbing the skin aggressively with a towel to help prolong the life and appearance of the tan. 

  • Yes. At Beauty by Vicky, we cater for bridal and group spray tan bookings for special occasions such as weddings, bridal showers, birthdays, holidays, formals, events, and girls’ getaways.

    We recommend booking group appointments in advance where possible to ensure availability and allow enough time for each client to be comfortably accommodated.

  • At Beauty by Vicky, we use express spray tanning solutions designed to give you flexibility depending on your desired result and schedule.

    Our express tans are generally left on for a minimum of 2 hours and a maximum of 4 hours before rinsing. During your appointment, we will advise you on the recommended rinse time based on your skin tone, desired depth of colour, and the amount of time you have available for development.

    Leaving the tan on for a shorter period will result in a lighter glow, while a longer development time will achieve a deeper bronzed result.

  • At Beauty by Vicky, we use professional TechnoTan spray tanning solutions designed to provide a natural-looking, even, and long-lasting tan. TechnoTan offers a variety of colour bases and depths, allowing us to customise the tan to suit your skin tone, undertones, desired result, and occasion.

    Our solutions are selected to help achieve a smooth and even fade while maintaining a natural bronzed appearance. We also apply a double coat during the treatment to help ensure even coverage and optimal results.

    Depending on your skin tone and desired outcome, we will recommend the most suitable shade and development time for your individual preferences.
