HI-TECH facials infused with gold and apple stem cells are the latest craze in luxury beauty treatments on the Gold Coast.
In the quest to slow the ageing process without surgery, men and women are turning to unusual methods.
Queensland company Ultraderm is creating a stir with its introduction of the range featuring the stem cell extract, taken from the Swiss uttwiler spatlauber apple, which is being heralded as the new international wonder product.
American first lady Michelle Obama and actors Helen Mirren and Jennifer Lopez are already publicly supporting the extract's effects.
Used in creams and serums, stem cells from the fruit are said to stimulate human skin stem cells, supporting regeneration and delaying the onset of wrinkles.
Pauline Valle from Ultraderm said the stem cell products, only available to salons, were best used after undergoing skin needling -- a therapy where a micro roller dotted with 1mm needle tips is gently run over the face.
"It's very therapeutic, almost like mini acupuncture," she said.
Ms Valle said the roller stimulates the skin surface similar to aerating a lawn and the apple stem cell serum then aids in cell rejuvenation, smoothing out deep wrinkles.
"When you mention stem cells at first people are a little wary but this is clean and safe," said Ms Valle.
"We don't need to go into the animal kingdom for stem cells, this is all about amazing plants like these apples."
