What is Laser Hair Removal?

Using grade 4 medical lasers accredited by Syneron Candela, Laser Hair Removal uses a concentrated laser beam that destroys your hair follicles and over time, reduces hair growth. All without disrupting or damaging the skin’s surface.

Why is Laser Hair Removal a popular choice?

Who has time to shave or spend hours at a beauty salon getting waxed?

Not only do you enjoy the convenience of ditching that razor or performing gymnastics to get to those hard to reach places – the results are long lasting, less painful and your treatments are in monthly intervals. Depending on your hair type, we recommend a minimum of 6 to 10 treatments for optimum results.

Shaving vs. Laser Hair Removal

Imagine not having to shave every 3-4 days? So much more room for activities!

With most men needing to shave or trim every few days to maintain their face or body, Laser Hair Removal is an efficient and effective way of reducing time in the long run as well as preventing after shave rash, redness and ingrowns. You can book a complimentary consultation with a Clinical Therapist to see if Laser Hair Removal is right for  you. Book online here.

Can cellulite go away?

Dimples on your cheeks: grin
Dimples on your thighs: grim
With most women experiencing this dimply dilemma sometime in their life, can cellulite really go away?

What are the causes of cellulite?
Cellulite occurs when fat cells push against connective tissue, resulting in the appearance of lumpy, dimply skin. The main causes include:

• Composition of cells in females and males

In comparison to men, the fat cells and connective tissues are arranged vertically in women. When these fat cells protrude into the layer of skin, this gives a bumpy and often dimpled appearance.Male vs Female Fat CellsMale fat cells represented by the circles are encased by a crisscross series of chambersFemale fat cells are encased in cube like chambersWhen gaining weight, the enlarged fat cells cause the chambers to stretch evenlyWhen gaining weight, the enlarged fat cells push up into the skin.

• Genetic factors

The genetic makeup of an individual affects their distribution of fat underneath the skin, speed of metabolism and circulatory levels which can affect the chance of cellulite developing. Can cellulite go away with changes to diet and exercise?

A balanced diet and regular exercise can improve the general health of your skin. However, it does not reduce the amount of cellulite present beneath the skin. That being said, don’t drop your dumbbells or go on a snack binge as a healthy diet and regular exercise can enhance the body’s healing capabilities and your skin’s overall appearance.

Some benefits of a balanced diet and regular exercise include:

• Less stress and anxiety

Did you know that symptoms of acne can get worse during periods of stress?

• Better immunity and detoxification

H20, just add water! As simple as it sounds, water is one of the main and vital components to healthy skin and bodily functions. Skip the sugary drinks and say hello to glowing skin!

Moreover, staying well hydrated improves your overall skin texture, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and uneven bumps.

• Less visceral fats

Located deep inside your body, excess visceral fat causes low grade inflammation in the body. With regular exercise, the body is trained to burn visceral fat more easily.

As you can see, whilst a healthy diet and regular exercise can’t eliminate the presence of cellulite beneath the skin, it can ultimately enhance the body’s recovery systems as well as improve the skin’s overall appearance.

As they say, teamwork makes the dream work! Combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, the Cellulite Reduction Treatment is effective in reducing cellulite as well as promoting additional benefits such as:

• Skin tightening
• Detoxification of your body
• Enhanced blood circulation
• Skin rejuvenation
• Lifting, toning and firming of the muscles

Cellulite reduction treatment

Cellulite reduction treatment utilises the energy from Radio Frequency Energy to stimulate fat cells and collagen production. Using the innovative Pollogen Trilipo RF technology, in 3 easy steps.

1. Firstly, heat is generated to target fat cells before metabolising and released by using Radio Frequency technology.
2. The removal of the released fat occurs via a lymphatic drainage. Due to the fat being turned into energy, a minimum of 20 minutes of exercise is recommended post treatment to help with this process.
3. Immediate collagen contractions are prompted, stimulating its production, resulting in the diminished appearance of cellulite. You are left with a smoother surface

What is the aftercare?

• Drink lots of water and maintain intake levels to ensure overall hydration
• Anywhere between immediately after or within 2 hours post treatment, engage in a minimum of 20 minutes cardio exercise to aid in the detoxification of the liquefied fat cells.
• Avoid excessive scrubbing

Skincare doesn’t just stop post treatment

If skin treatments meant that we could stop caring about our skin once we walked out of a session, this blogpost wouldn’t be here. Exposure to environmental pollutants and the sun is unavoidable as we go about our day but we can change that with sunscreen and a balanced skincare routine to maintain our skin’s health. Results Active Protect SPF 50+ is a skincare staple as it moisturises and protects the skin against the harsh rays from the Australian sun. Simply apply to clean, dry skin 15 minutes prior to sun exposure and reapply after exercise.

Results Laser Clinics is one of Australia’s most trusted provider of Laser Hair Removal, Skin treatments & Cosmetic Injectables. Results Laser Clinic is available nationally & are committed to delivering results that make you look & feel your best.

Types of Chemical Peels

Turn over a new leaf (and new skin) with Chemical Skin Peels. From the Acne Beta Peel, Pigmentation, Mandelic to the Photo Rejuvenation Age Peel, we find out which types of Chemical Peels are the best for you!

---

What Are The Types of Chemical Peels?

Chemical Peels involves the application of a safe chemical solution, which targets the deeper layers of the skin. This effective treatment aids in reducing priorities such as acne, pigmentation, appearance of fine lines, dryness and lacklustre skin by performing 3 main functions

1. A deep exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and decongest pores
2. Treats specific priorities such removing toxins, oil, acne causing bacteria and imperfections
3. Stimulates collagen production

A step up from most chemical exfoliants which often contain a single active ingredient, Chemical Peels have been specifically formulated with a tailored combination of acids to effectively target priorities. Best of all, the results are almost immediate!

How Do Chemical Peels Work?

Firstly, the face is cleansed to remove any initial traces of makeup residue, skin products and debris on the face.

Then, a Pre-Peel is applied prior to the peel to effectively lower the skin’s pH level as well as removing all traces of oil, allowing for the even penetration of the skin peeling agent.

Mild Chemical Peels

A major component of this chemical peel is alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) which include lactic and glycolic acids to effectively generate younger replenished skin. The prevention of premature aging skin can be achieved with this chemical peel treatment, popular for those between the ages of 24-35. Sun damaged skin, uneven skin-tone and texture, fine lines and acne are some of many concerns that can be treated with mild AHA chemical peels. As skin is photosensitive after treatment, it is important that a broad spectrum SPF50+ sunscreen is applied frequently. Some side effects of the treatment include flaking, redness, dryness, itching and irritation. These will resolve when several chemical peel treatments are undergone and skin is accustomed to the active ingredients. 

Chemical peel side effects: Top 5 tips post treatment for healthier, happier skin

Here are the Chemical peel side effects and top 5 tips to ensure that you have a smooth recovery and avoid any adverse Chemical Peel side effects. The concept of chemicals being applied to your face may not seem like the most appealing process in the world. By understanding what to expect post Chemical Peel, you’ll be ready to set your skin up for smooth blissfulness!

Chemical peels have a range of benefits from decongesting your pores, killing acne causing bacteria, smoothing out uneven skin tone and reducing the appearance of fine lines.

What to expect post Chemical Peel treatment

You’ve just finished your chemical peel and your face is glowing but let a day pass and your skin is feeling a bit tight – you may be wondering, is this normal?

Absolutely.

Whilst there is minimal downtime, you may experience redness in the next 24-48 hours post peel. Additional side effects that’ll disappear in 24-72 hours include:

• Slight Redness
• Tightness
• Flaking in certain areas
• Breakouts indicate impurities being purged which is a good sign!
• Increased sensitivity

My chemical romance: a chemical peel review

My chemical romance: a chemical peel review
My face has undergone its fair share (and weight) of makeup, pollutants and incorrect products at the prime age of 21 so I decided to try out a Chemical Peel to target my congestion and breakouts.

---

Communication with the skin

From when I first started my ‘makeup and beauty routine’, I’d tested out numerous foundations as well as skin products on my face, gifting me with the unwanted presence of breakouts and rashes! What I learnt from these trials and tribulations was that it was mostly due to self-diagnosing my skin priorities and then selecting the product I think was right in ‘fixing it’- which proved to be a very costly process in hindsight! Whoops!

From the initial consultation, the clinical therapist determined that for optimum results, 4 to 6 sessions of the Acne Beta Peel combined with LED Light Therapy would be the best option as it aims to effectively bring acne & breakouts under control and risk future scarring. Take a look at my My chemical romance review below.

Breaking up with bad habits – finding the right base

I decided to go with a combination of the Microdermabrasion treatment, Acne Beta Peel and the LED Light Therapy treatment to achieve optimum results that would also guarantee minimal downtime.

The Microdermabrasion treatment involves the gentle motorised exfoliation of dead skin cells of the skin which resulted in clearer pores as well as a decongested base for the acne beta peel to work its magic on.

Firstly, a pre-peel was applied which had a tingling sensation before the acne beta peel was applied.

When the acne beta peel was applied, I let the therapist know from a scale of 1 to 10 on how it felt on my face with 1 being barely nothing whilst 10 meaning I am in discomfort.

As I have sensitive skin, I felt an intensity of around 6/10. After the peel was removed, a combination of serums was applied as well as the Results Active Protect SPF50+ which would soothe, nourish and protect my skin.

What is Microdermabrasion and What Does It Do?

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment that deeply exfoliates the skin and decongests pores to restore its natural glow. Using a Medipro diamond tipped wand which gently removes the top layer of the skin, Microdermabrasion delivers a range of benefits such as:

• Improves skin tone and texture
• Decongests pores
• Reduces the appearance of acne scarring
• Repairs and restores youthful skin
• Encourages cell turnover which allows for a brighter and radiant complexion

Often overlooked, exfoliation is important in maintaining clear and healthy skin as it eliminates the build-up of dead skin cells and pollutants which can accumulate over time. Left untreated, this can lead to breakouts and irritated skin. With Microdermabrasion, the skin is gently polished with microscopic diamond particles before these dead skin cells are vacuumed away, leaving you with clearer pores and a smoother complexion. How Much Does It Cost for Microdermabrasion? Prices can vary depending on what type of Microdermabrasion treatment you get. A full price list can be found here.
