SKIN REJUVENATION Love the skin you are in. Beauty is more than skin deep!

It is a new year, a time for change. Our skin is our largest organ and are we doing anything to preserve and take care of it?

Since reopening our clinic after the pandemic we have seen an increase in our Skin Rejuvenation procedures. Both men and women have become more aware of the appearance of their skin tone and texture and are looking to maintain and improve it. I also think selfcare is so important and taking time out of the day to do something to make you feel good about ourselves is essential.

Aesthetic treatments have become increasingly more popular over the last decade. The variety of treatments is endless and could be extremely confusing of what may be the best for you. The menu of treatments now goes way beyond anti wrinkle and dermal filler injections.

Skin rejuvenation is a fabulous alternative or works hand in hand depending on your desired outcome.

You may be wondering what Skin Rejuvenation is.

It includes various treatments that aim to restore your skin from any damage. Skin damage could be a result of sun exposure, an underlying health condition, or a normal sign of aging.

You would be very lucky if you have never suffered with problematic skin at some time in your life or would like to improve some area.

You may consider something mild with little down time that can be worked into you day like Dermaplaning which could be carried out in a lunch break to a laser skin resurfacing procedure with amazing results but will take several weeks to renew.

With the dwindling production of collagen, skin can lose structure, become dry, have less fat, and begin to appear wrinkled, loose, and saggy. Skin rejuvenation encourages collagen growth to help skin become fuller and more youthful.

Skin rejuvenation refers to any cosmetic treatment that renews the surface appearance of the skin. Rejuvenation treatments are typically for superficial skin concerns such as wrinkles, dark spots, scarring, and skin laxity, which are all skin-related concerns that occur on the upper-to-mid layers of the dermis.

Dermaplaning

Our most superficial treatment is Dermaplaning.I love this as it completed quickly and gives the skin an instant lift.

Dermaplaning is an extremely popular and effective treatment. It rejuvenates the overall health and appearance of your skin. It is non invasive, fast and painless approach to helping you skin stay refreshed glowing and youthful. It also fabulous combined with more intense treatments too.

Weeks of dead skin cells are removed along with the fine vellus hair/peachy fuzz. This hair can trap dirt and oil causing breakouts and a dull complexion.

The physical exfoliation triggers the cell regeneration process and allows products to penetrate the skin better and when makeup is applied it looks flawless.

Microneedling

We also love microneedling, this is a treatment that can be performed on the face to minimise wrinkles and small scars, ideal for acne scars but also the body to help with the appearance of skin tone and texture but also scars and stretch marks. It is a mildly invasive cosmetic procedure that’s used to treat skin concerns via collagen production, also known as collagen induction therapy.

We have three microneedling procedures to choose from, MesoME, Meso Plus and the Diamond Facial. They all work in a similar way but vary in intensity.

All treatments are fabulous as a one off but amazing results are achieved if treatments are carried out regularly. I always explain to me clients, it would be like going to the gym or exercising as a one off. You will feel great but the results are not lasting as you would need do a few sessions to see a result.

Our Micro needling sessions rejuvenate the skin, stimulating natural collagen while interrupting and slowing down the formation of wrinkles. The use of serums tailored for your skin type are infused during the needling adding

vitamins and minerals to improve your skins appearance and though it may be visible immediately the results improve over the course of treatments as MesoME relies on skin cells having time to heal and reproduce before the most visible results appear. MesoME is a 100% risk free treatment that works naturally.

This is a gentle skin needling treatment that delivers incredible results. Boosting cell rejuvenation it helps improve dry, dehydrated skin and fine lines and wrinkles with minimum downtime leaving an instant healthy glow which continues to work for several weeks.

Meso Plus takes it to the next level, a slightly more intense treatment. Instantly boosting the skins appearance, hydrating dull, tired and dehydrated skin. Improves certain skin conditions like rosacea and acne. Delivering the serum into the correct layer of skin to get the optimum results. The secret to youthful skin. Digital Collagen Induction (DCI) and Meso+ infusions are the aesthetic world’s latest answer in anti aging procedures.

The Diamond Facial is a luxury combination of Digital Collagen Induction, Meso Microneedling and Dermaplaning using the medically grade skincare range Cell Biologique.

Working your skin from the inside and out this treatment has been designed to leave you with brighter, flawless complexion and visibly less wrinkles.

The skin is cleansed then exfoliated to remove up to 3 weeks of dead skin cells and the villus hair (peachy fuzz). A peel to brighten then completed with targeted microneedling combined with a bespoke serum infusion for your own skin type. Meso is the aesthetic world’s latest answer in anti aging and skin tightening. The results are instant with ongoing benefits for over 4 weeks.

To get the maximum benefit of your treatment we recommend looking after your skin at home, we love Cell Biologique Skincare.

Cell Biologique is an advanced dermaceutical skincare collection offering corrective solutions for both women and men. It is packed full of natural active ingredients to encourage cell rejuvenation. No Parabens … No animal testing … Safe Precision … Innovation

All our treatments are suitable for both women and men. All clients are invited for a consultation and skin analysis before any procedure.

I am often asked why products are more expensive than others. Again, this is endless. Sometimes we can be paying for huge marketing campaigns and packaging. I would advise to look at the percentage of active ingredients. If it is so low you could bathe in it and it still would not have any great effect. Ask for a consultation and check if any samples are available before taking the plunge to invest if potentially it does not suite your skin type.

Going into a salon or clinic may not be for you. You can achieve brilliant results at home too. Get yourself into a good routine of cleansing, toning and moisturising. Add in a serum and exfoliation. You will notice a difference in no time.
