Image Skincare Lightening Lift

VIEW ON

When I interviewed Renew Medica’s senior clinic manager, Wilma Bird for the July issue of Cosmetic News, she absolutely raved about the Image Skincare range of products and professional treatments, so when I was given the opportunity to have a treatment, I jumped at the chance.

After a consultation with the company’s accounts manager and educator Trishna Shah I hoped up on the treatment couch for the 20 minute treatment. Trishna started by taking off my make-up and degreasing my skin. She then prepared the base of the peel, a blend of 50% lactic and kojic acid, specifically designed to treat pigmentation. She also added a couple of drops of hyaluronic enhancer and idebenone to help rehydrate my skin. After the peel was removed she put on the Vital C™ Hydrating Enzyme Mask, which contains papaya and pineapple enzymes as well as vitamin C, E and retinol before applying the lightening serum, which contains natural skin lighteners including kojic acid. Finally Ageless ™ Total Retinol A Crème with Retinol enhancer was applied to help my skin peel better along with an eye gel to treat dark circles, the brand’s signature Solar Defense Organic SPF 30 from its Sun ™ range and the OrMedic™ Lip Enhancement Complex.

I was given an aftercare kit to take away with me with a selection of travel sized products from the Vital C ™ range, which have a fantastic orangey smell. I was to use three products in the morning and three in the evening, which was simple and easy to follow. I have only even had two peels before both of which were very low level and had virtually no downtime so I was a little apprehensive about having a peel done that

New website for MAG Medical Aesthetic Group has undertaken a complete redesign of its website, improving even further the information available and convenience of use.

With brands clearly and concisely labelled and detailed information available on all products and treatments, the company is making its aesthetic goods more accessible to the non-surgical practitioner. There is an option for practitioners to buy online with 5% off all orders placed through the site and there will be an impressive back-catalogue to help support accounts in their products/treatment knowledge, and marketing opportunities.

Managing director David Gower said, “Most of our customers are busy through out the day and value the opportunity to obtain information about products and place orders securely on line out of usual office hours.

Our up dated web site is intuitive to navigate, incorporates many new features and allows orders to be placed at any time with a 5% discount”.

Harvard professor goes online Internationally-renowned skincare expert, cosmetic plastic surgeon and visiting Harvard Professor, Paul Banwell, has just launched his new non-surgical website, The Skin Institute (www.skininstituteuk.com). The focus is very much on skin health and highlights the relationship between skin cancer and anti-ageing cosmetic medicine.

‘I wanted a cutting-edge, aspirational modern website and have worked closely with the creative web design agency, Blow Media to achieve this’ explains Paul, ‘We are featuring some new concepts including the Cosmetic A-Z which is a constantly evolving section and will expand over time to help educate patients’. The Skin Institute also champions the exclusive Australian cosmeceutical brand, Rationale Skin Care (www.wellbournecosmetic.com) and leads the way with the innovative concept of prescriptive chemical peels.

Mr Banwell is a familiar face on Cosmetic Courses where he heads up the chemical peel course and is actively researching the role of chemical peels in skin cancer prevention and skin rejuvenation.

News In Brief Oral Supplements Enhance Effectiveness Of Botox Injections Taking a dietary supplement of organic zinc and the enzyme phytase four days before receiving botulinum toxin injections made the toxin more effective in 93% of patients tested in a recent study at The Methodist Hospital in Houston. Dr Charles Soparkar’s research has resulted in a patentpending dietary supplement combining zinc and phytase (trademarked as ZYTAZE™) to be available to patients as early as this month. Forty-one of the 44 patients who took the oral supplements prior to botulinum toxin injections (Botox®, Dysport®, or Myobloc®) showed improved results. Many of the patients in the study were being treated for blepharospasm and had previously responded poorly to botulinum toxin injections. Soparkar’s research team will present the effect of dietary zinc supplementation on botulinum toxin treatments at the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery’s 41st Annual Fall Scientific Symposium on October 14 in Chicago.

Patent Granted for Groundbreaking Collagen Builder A recent patent is promising to revolutionise the skincare industry. Collagen Building Factor™, invented by self-taught biochemist Kevin J Meehan, OMD, was recently granted US Patent No. 7,700,083. Collagen Building Factor™ works in alignment with the biochemistry of the body to correctly produce healthy collagen naturally, and rejuvenate skin. “The proprietary application of zinc finger technology provides skin cell DNA with the nourishment required to repair damaged skin, restore even pigmentation and fortify the skin’s own immune system,” says Tharon LeBlanc, CEO of OrthoMolecularUSA.com. In a 12-week study, participants who used Collagen Building Factor™ every day showed anywhere from 48-to-80% improvement in the quality of their skin: from significant improvements in skin smoothness, fewer fine lines and wrinkles, increased skin radiance, reduced pore size and less severe discoloration.

Cosmetic procedures have little impact on Body Dysmorphic Disorder symptoms A new study published in Annals of Plastic Surgery has show that while many suffers of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) seek cosmetic procedures, only 2% of procedures actually reduced the severity of BDD. The small retrospective study of 200 individuals with BDD, showed that 31% sought and 21% received surgical or minimally invasive treatment for BDD symptoms.

Nearly all of these individuals continued to have BDD symptoms, and some actually developed new appearance preoccupations. They also note that in a survey of 265 cosmetic surgeons, 178 (65%) reported treating patients with BDD, yet only one percent of the cases resulted in BDD symptom improvement.

The most common surgical procedures sought were rhinoplasty and breast augmentation, while the most common minimally invasive treatments were collagen injections and microdermabrasion. Three quarters of all the requested procedures involved facial features. The findings also indicate that more than a third of patients received multiple procedures.

Industry News | Round Up

Voice of the Industry So my first column went down a storm, with comments like ‘a cross between Sex and the City and Bridget Jones (I think that one was from my mum), so on with Chapter 2.

The summer hols went well except the SPF was more effective than bandages and having forgotten to pack a girl’s best friend (Tan in a Can), I gradually became whiter and whiter as the week went on and returned home an albino. No sun damage but also no admirers so I bathed in Fake Bake for a day and now look great.

I forgot to mention last month that I spent my IHAS registration fee on chocolate and speed dating. Let’s say the good ones had their tattoos spelt correctly and the bad ones didn’t have opposable thumbs, could be a good place to advertise if your Q-Switch laser is getting cold. With no luck at speed dating, I have decided to join the TA (Testosterone Army), can’t do much worse than my ex who was hung like Einstein with the brain of a horse!

One colour that really didn’t make it this season was ‘I feel slightly sea sick green’ by Merz, launched on the catwalks of Paris and then quickly withdrawn. I guess seaweed is only good as a body wrap or with crispy duck. Away from research lite and on to muller lite- I have worked out if you eat enough of them you can keep your calorie intake up to pre-diet levels.

The ‘remote consultation’ debate has been added to by a totally unknown dentist from Gloucester who with great public spirit has given advice on the NMC, BACN, GMC and BACD. I can’t help but wonder, is this to get an honorary membership?

Apparently not, I just found out he teaches on a nurse prescriber course, so cancel the public spirit bit and the honorary membership. Talking of remote prescribing, I hear the BACN are now committee lite having dispensed with the services of a certain nursing couple-first blood to Dr H. Apparently the conference is going well but they can’t decide between Gucci or Roberto Cavalli as a main sponsor, just give them both a stand girls. Anyway, off to buy a camouflage maxi dress and some green make-up ready for my first TA training...
