SKIN SAVIOUR
New year, new you?
Dr Steven Land of Novellus Aesthetics can make your New Year wishes come true It’s that time of year again; the time for change and the time to out-do the 2019 you. Forget expensive lotions and potions to make your skin glow; microneedling is the stimulating treatment that’s taking over the beauty world. Suitable for all skin types, micro-needling involves a number of small needles that puncture the skin to the epidermis, stimulating your skin to go into ‘repair mode’. I know, it sounds scary, but it’s virtually pain-free and the benefits are so worth it. Not only is it one of the most successful ways to prevent the first signs of ageing, it’s also been proven to improve the look of scars, sun damage and stretch marks by boosting the collagen in the skin, increasing elastin production and prompting cell turnover. After the treatment, the skin should start to increase collagen production in 48 to 72 hours and may look a little red, but be patient, better skin will come. Microneedling’s main aim is to create youthful-looking skin and after a couple of sessions, most people notice a significant reduction in fine lines, crow’s feet and deep forehead wrinkles. So, it’s the perfect boost your skin needs. Novellus Aesthetics is now offering the brand-new WOW Fusion Facial, which is a stimulating combination of microneedling and mesotherapy. The WOW Fusion serum, which is inserted in the skin using 20 gold-plated, titanium needles, as fine as human hair, improves hydration, texture, tone and structure of the skin, ultimately stimulating elastin and collagen to give the ultimate skin rejuvenation. Sound like something you need to give your skin a little boost after a long winter? Then contact Novellus Aesthetics today.
