Meet the next generation in anti-ageing

 Advertorial

Skincare addicts will be interested to learn of two exciting new treatments that have landed in Taupō. Perfect for those looking for an intense skin transformation, these treatments are designed to fight ageing, rebuild skin structure, and optimise the skin’s natural regeneration process. Launched by advanced skincare company O Cosmedics, these in-clinic, professional-only treatments are now available at Taupō’s Diamond Laser Medispa. We spoke to the team at Diamond Laser and got the scoop on these cutting-edge facial treatments.

Alpha Beta Facial

O Cosmedics was created to fight the five major causes of ageing, using medical grade active ingredients and proven delivery systems to prevent and correct ageing and degradation. The O Pro Dermal Planning (PDP) Series, also known as O Facial, is a serious corrective skin treatment that targets specific skin concerns using a series of enzymes, peptides, and acid peels. Under the qualified guidance of a Diamond Laser dermal therapist, the PDP skin treatments work to achieve cell optimisation, skin health and, ultimately, skin youth. PDP treatments offer enhanced results based on medical strength actives that work skin deep, returning normal skin function. The treatment takes between 3045 minutes, and includes a deep cleanse, exfoliation, a customised peel, and an alginate rubber mask that goes on like cake batter and peels off in one. The peel instantly cools and soothes the skin, tightens enlarged pores, improves blood circulation, and increases oxygen supply to improve skin health, complexion, and radiance. The O Pro Dermal Planning Series includes six signature peels used in over 30 different combinations for skin solution flexibility and ultimate results. A course of treatments once a week for 6-8 weeks will charge the cells and rebalance their activity, while a monthly maintenance treatment keeps them on track. This serious resurfacing peel is not for the faint hearted, and not recommended before a special occasion. If you have regularly been experiencing an O Facial or have well prepped skin (skin used to actives), and are looking for intense skin transformation and correction, the Alpha Beta Peel is the option for you!

Pro Dermal Active – Oxygen Therapy

Exclusively launched in New Zealand in late October, this industryfirst treatment was designed to complement Pro Dermal Active Planning (PDA), bringing next level treatment options and results to O Cosmedics professional skin treatments. Maintaining O Cosmedics’ philosophy of “skin health, skin youth and skin

confidence”, PDA is formulated with the highest respect for the skin and its barrier to optimise the skin’s natural regeneration process, which helps skin look fresh and feel elastic, even as you age. These next generation treatments use O-Biome Oxygen Therapy to strengthen skin immunity and rebuild the skin structure from within. The all-in-one treatment is not only designed to resurface the skin but smooth, firm and restore radiance – all without significant downtime. PDA addresses and treats key skin conditions with four specially formulated, customised activators, ensuring the skin stays healthy, functions at optimum levels, and supports a hydrated, youthful, and glowing complexion. There are four activators available as part of the PDA treatment depending on your skin concern:

•

Lift and firm – for skins concerned with laxity and lift.

Perfect for mature or sagging skin

Collagen Booster – Designed to block the chemicals that trigger muscle contraction during facial expression, which lead to fine lines and wrinkles. Great for those concerned with ageing

Clear Skin – Created to specifically target breakout, blemishes and skins needing rebalancing. Perfect for acne and problematic skins • Bright Skin – Inspired to support optimum skin brightness and uneven skin tone making it the perfect choice for pigmented, dull, or uneven skin tones Treatments take around one hour and 15 minutes and include a deep cleanse, exfoliation, an oxygen enzyme peel, a facial massage using the O-Rejuv Gua Sha facial device, and an O-Biome mask.
