Why do I get bumps under my skin
If your skin is covered in lots of small colorless or red bumps, you may be dealing with Milia, these are small, bump-like cysts found under the skin. They are usually 1 to 2 millimeters (mm) in size. They form when skin flakes or keratin, a protein, become trapped under the skin. Milia most often appear on the face, commonly around the eyelids and cheeks, though they can occur anywhere.
Another possibility is it is subclinical acne. This type of acne can cause the skin’s surface to look and feel uneven, without ever developing into the typical “pimple” – pus-filled and inflamed. Rather, subclinical acne is simply congested, clogged pores.
These little bumps are caused by an excess of sebum – the waxy, oily substance that your sebaceous glands naturally produce. When there is an excess of sebum, dirt, and dead skin cells on the skin’s surface, your pores become clogged, resulting in protruding follicles and a bumpy texture. Subclinical acne can occur in large numbers on the cheeks, nose, chin, or forehead. It is usually most common on the forehead and cheeks, because the oil glands on these two parts of the face are highly active.
Subclinical acne is most often tied to your lifestyle, stress, and/or hormonal changes. So how can you reduce its appearance?
1. The first step is to improve in your cleansing regime.
Subclinical acne is caused by clogged pores, the first step in reducing them is to improve your cleansing technique. Firstly take a look at the cleanser you’re using. The best type of cleanser to use will be an oil-based cleanser. Oil dissolves oil, making a cleansing oil extremely helpful. Foaming or soap-based cleansers can dry out the skin, which will actually lead to MORE oil production, as your body will try and make up for what you’re stripping away!
The next technique to utilise is double cleansing. This may seem counter-intuitive, especially if you’re used to drying cleansers, but double cleansing with an oil cleanser will help to clear and remove dead skin cells. You will cleanse daily am and pm, but only double cleanse once a day, preferably at night, when your skin really needs it, after a day of makeup, dirt, and pollutants!
2. Use a toner
To remove any leftover oil or dirt left on your face (which is possible even after double cleansing!), the toner helps to balance your pH levels and decrease excess oil production. ( the Omveda rose toner is divine, smells gorgeous and is very hydrating)
3. Choose your moisturiser wisely.
Whilst you're working on clearing out subclinical acne, you want to make sure your moisturiser is nice and light and not too heavy.
4. Do not squeeze or pick
This is especially important for subclinical acne, which won't normally break the skin on its own, as the bumps are congested pores. Picking at them could lead to scarring, and can cause breakouts to worsen. The best bet is to flush out the congestion with professional facials and recommended products.
5. Peels & Masks
We have so many different type of peels & masks, we can choose one that will break down the congestion, cleanse and clarify the skin while also supporting healthy circulation.
6. Go makeup free for a few days
We know it can be hard when you want to cover up your skin but the best option is to leave it as clean as possible. If you feel like you can’t go bare then opt for an all-natural, lightweight coverage that will allow your skin to breathe.
7. Drink lots of water
Drinking water is essential for keeping your skin clear. Our cells are nourished and hydrated by water, and dehydration can cause your skin to compensate by overproducing oil. Double certified MD, Dr. Amy Shah, recommends drinking between 10-14 glasses of water a day.
Facials are workouts for your skin

What is Dermapen™microneedling?
All your questions answered
Unsurprisingly, we get asked a lot of questions about Dermapen™ microneedling. The number one of which is... *drumroll please*
“What is it?”
The short answer is that Dermapen™ microneedling is an effective, popular and minimally invasive procedure. It addresses a wide range of skin concerns, not just lines and wrinkles; although, it does reduce the signs of ageing too.
A lot of the confusion comes from the information and misinformation on the Internet, which makes it hard to separate facts from fiction.
That’s why this week we’re going beyond the claims and opinions, to give you the holistic answer to what Dermapen™ microneedling is.
The earliest use of therapeutic skin needling can be traced back thousands of years to ancient China. Fast forward to 1995, and cosmetic needling began its rapid timeline of innovation.
Australian medical developer and DermapenWorld CEO Stene Marshall introduced Dermapen to the world in 2010. It revolutionised the microneedling market. Dermapen is backed by years of research and prototypes to offer far superior design, comfort, versatility and results.
Over 3 million Dermapen Treatments have now been performed worldwide. With the DermapenWorld family of products, you are investing in quality and safety for your skin.
The micro-injuries caused by the treatment stimulate the production of collagen as your skin heals. Acne, trauma, pigmentation and a range of other ailments can cause blemishes on your skin. Ageing causes your skin to thin, sag and wrinkle.
Dermapen microneedling simply activates the skin’s natural self-rejuvenating function. A new layer of fresh tissue forms, creating a more youthful appearance on the surface and fighting antibodies underneath.
These small punctures also allow active ingredients in topical creams to penetrate deeper for intense rejuvenation.
Is Skin Needling and Dermapen Microneedling the Same?
Yes, Dermapen microneedling has many different names, which can make it confusing when selecting a treatment.
Other terms for microneedling include:
Percutaneous Collagen Induction (P.C.I.)
Collagen Induction Therapy (C.I.T.)
Scar Rejuvenation Therapy (S.R.T.), and
Skin needling

Acne and acne scarring
Skincare is a top priority for most celebrities because they spend so much time in the spotlight. From Jennifer Aniston to the Kardashian sisters, more celebrities are discovering how cutting-edge microneedling treatments offer them younger-looking skin
Gwyneth Paltrow and Kourtney Kardashian are among the many celebrity enthusiasts of microneedling because of the amazing skin improvements they receive in a quick 20-minute treatment.
At Sole Revival Skin & Body Clinic, Perth’s certified master needling clinician Jules O’Driscoll ( BA Hons Complimentary Healthcare ) expertly creates hundreds of tiny injuries to the surface layer of your skin using a safe and controllable handheld needle device. This prompts your body to produce new collagen and elastin, the basic building blocks of younger-looking, vibrant skin.
The Dermapen 4 Micro Needling is Sole Revival’s premium anti-ageing treatment & is known for stimulating collagen and elastin.
Cue glowing skin... it can also dramatically reduce scarring, blackheads, open pores, age lines, pigmentation and so much more.
Dermapen4
Mesotherapy treatment is the delivery of small quantities of active ingredients (such as retinol) directly to the area of the skin where they are needed (we use the micro channels provided by needling to deliver deeper penetration).
We combine needling, mesotherapy, and hyaluronic hydration mask to maximise results for you. We also include a vitamin enriched moisture application and a cover recover sun block shield to further enhance and protect your skin.
We recommend a return appointment 10-14 days later for a follow up personalised facial peel & additional Mask treatment to further maximise your results.
As new collagen keeps forming, your skin looks plumper and healthier. Added fullness smooths out signs of aging, including wrinkles and fine lines.
You can choose microneedling treatment by itself to achieve your skin goals, or you can include it a series of facials treatments each one individually created for you to address your specific skin issues. Such as wrinkles, lines, aged skin, open pores, uneven skin tone, pigmentation, scars, weak or sick skin.
It’s not just for women
While female celebrities such as Angelina Jolie have talked about the positive outcome of microneedling, male celebs, including Jolie’s ex, Brad Pitt, are also known to undergo the procedure to rejuvenate their skin and reverse the signs of aging.
Due to the minimally invasive nature of the treatment, many male actors and on-screen personalities are turning to microneedling to keep their skin in tip-top condition with very little downtime or recovery.
Microneedling benefits
Microneedling is effective at boosting your body’s natural production of collagen to provide fullness and volume to skin.
As new collagen grows, you can expect benefits like:
Less visible acne scars
Skin that’s free of wrinkles and fine lines
Reduction in stretch marks
Microneedling treatments are great for your face but can also be used effectively on your neck, hands, or anywhere that could benefit from added volume and thicker, more vibrant skin.
It’s not just for celebs
While those in front of the camera have incentive to hang on to their youthful looks, microneedling isn’t just for celebrities. As you age, there will come a time when wrinkles and fine lines start to make you look older than you are.
Not everyone ages the same, so If your cursed with having spent to much time in the sun or just plain old bad genes then it may be time to do something about it. At Sole Revival Skin & Body Clinic, we can work with you to help you with your skin goals, including getting glowing healthy skin.

What is a non-surgical facelift?
Corrie had a special occasion on Saturday and really wanted to look her best. We recommended the Radio Frequency non-surgical facelift to give her the Wow factor and it delivered. Those were her exact words WoW! She was so impressed she went straight to google and left a review. Check it out.
Review by Corrie Pauwels, Google December 2019
“Jules is amazing! she takes the time to really understand your needs, wants and your skin type. A very knowledgeable lady, who makes sure she has done all of the background work for you. Thank you for making me feel amazing.”
Radio Frequency Facial’s What are they?
People in their 30s considering anti-ageing treatments and maintenance procedures may find radio frequency facial rejuvenation an attractive proposition. It is quick, relatively affordable and requires little work down time.
Those who, like Gwyneth Paltrow, would rather stay away from invasive cosmetic surgery and anti-wrinkle and dermal filler injection treatments opt for radio frequency as it is a non-invasive treatment option.
Radio frequency treatments improve skin quality and tightness. They are suitable for those who have mild to moderate skin laxity in the face. People of any skin colour can be treated with radio frequency devices.
You are a candidate for radio frequency treatments if you desire any of the following:
To lift the brows and tighten the skin on the forehead
To thicken and tighten the skin under the eyes
To lift the upper cheeks
To lift (slightly) and diminish enlarged pores on the cheeks and mid-face
To reduce jowls and sagging along the jaw line
To tighten skin and diminish wrinkling on the neck
WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO SEE RESULTS ?
Collagen remodelling is reformation of the skin’s scaffolding and does take time. However clients can see & feel improvements immediately after the treatment. In general though we tell clients to expect to see an improvement over the next couple of days and this will continue for 4-6 weeks, in that time you will notice a change in your skin’s tone, as collagen tightens, scars remodel and skin drainage improves. This change will continue as your collagen has now increased. Every RF treatment you receive increases your collagen production and it is this cumulative effect that turns back time and erases the signs of aging.
