Ray Rays Go Away

Despite warnings from the professionals, sun kissed skin has long been the ‘must have’ to compliment our Summer wardrobes. As much as we yearn for a glowing complexion and enjoy the sun’s nourishing warmth, it can rapidly become harmful to our skin.

Whether it be ducking out for a quick walk, popping out for coffee, to frolics at the beach – exposure to UVA/UVB rays damages elastin fibres in the skin. Prolonged exposure leads to painful sunburns, dryness, pigmentation and premature ageing. A far cry from the bronzed goddess we hope to transform into!

3 Essential Steps To Rescue Your Skin After A Sunburn.

Our summer skin routine needs to focus on exfoliation, sun protection and hydration – after all, your face is the first thing we see. However, for those who aren’t quite in the routine, Results Laser Clinic have created a Sun Rescue facial package as a relief from the Australian sun.

Step 1 | Heal

LED Light Therapy
Your journey from lobster to Tash Oakley begins 24 to 48 hours post sunburn. After a cleanse, relax under the healing LED Light, while you reflect on your Summer skin sins. LED Light Therapy increases your skin’s ability to recover from a sunburn whilst calming and reducing the redness. Prolonged exposure to UVB/UVA rays slows collagen production and increases the appearances of fine lines. LED Light Therapy helps to rejuvenate as well as encourages collagen production and cellular repair.

Step 2 | Take Home Products

To maximise results from your LED Light Therapy, don’t leave your appointment without our Results Active Recovery Gel and Active Protect SPF 50+. For the next 2 weeks it is important to nourish your skin at home.

Active Recovery Gel 100ml
It’s rich combination of essential oils, lavender and polysaccharide, the perfect remedy for irritated and damaged skin.
Tip: Apply as a face mask twice daily to soothe and extract heat from the skin. Place recovery gel in the fridge for that extra cooling effect.

Active Protect SPF 50+ 100ml
The most important way to protect your skin from harmful UV rays is by wearing a high quality sunscreen. Results Active Protect SPF 50 has been reformulated to provide you with extra protection and avoid those dreaded sunglass marks. Focus on areas where the skin is particularly delicate such as the face, neck and chest.
Tip: “Mix our Active Protect with your favourite foundation for flawless coverage as well as added protection.”

Can a facial cure a hangover?

Can a facial cure a hangover? The “Micro O²” is a mini-combination of two treatments; Microdermabrasion & Oxygen Facial Therapy. Its a Results Laser Clinic signature facial & the Oxygen facial therapy is equivalent of infusing cups of water into your face. Sound interesting?

 A new take on facials

So, we’ve all experienced a hangover of some sort – waking up looking ten years older from lack of sleep, with dehydrated, dull lifeless skin & last night’s excesses & sticky bar floor, clinging to our pores. While you reflect on your decisions, planning your next sleep & drinking plenty of water to fix how you feel, there maybe a solution that can help how you look.

So how does it work?

After a thorough but relaxing cleanse – which may put you to sleep – it starts with exfoliation: Passing over the face, with a diamond tipped wand, removes the top layer of dead skin, opens & decongests the pores, removing all traces of the ‘night before’ not to mention the day before that!

Then comes soothing regeneration. Oxygen serum & active ingredients are infused directly into your skin to instantly re-hydrate & kick-start the repair process.

What does it do?

In only 20 minutes it achieves a smoother texture & brighter more even skin tone. Your face will look & feel lifted, reducing the appearance of fine lines around the eyes & mouth, creating better definition around your cheeks & jaw.

 

The best bit

Down-time is zero, you can put make-up on straight after & show up looking a million dollars.

 

Look & feel great today

Can a facial cure a hangover? You don’t need to feel hungover, the “Micro O²” is the go to facial for models & A-listers who love that dewy fresh-faced look. Book-in & look fabulous for the big events as well as the day after!

Summer’s coming, how do we feel about our stretchmarks?

Its official – Skin blemishes are a confidence crusher^**

Stretchmarks can be a contributing factor in post-natal depression, at the very least many plan their wardrobe around covering them up.

---

Stretchmarks can happen to anyone

Stretchmarks can arrive with pregnancy, weight-gain, growth spurts, illness or steroid use. They can be accompanied by a feeling that appearance has been compromised and blown out of proportion by  ‘cognitive distortion’ which is when the brain over-rides judgment, common sense making it appear worse than it really is!

A problem shared

There are powerful and inspiring #bodypositivemovements, which are helping to reduce the feeling of social isolation for those traumatised by the change in their bodies but there are some who will always find action more empowering than acceptance. That’s where Fractional RF Laser comes in.

 

Does it work?

Fractional RF Laser has been around since 2004 & is most effective for treatment of stretchmarks. It has been shown to have 50-75% improvement in appearance of stretch marks, after 6-10 treatments^***.Actual results which have been achieved are shared below.

What is Fractional RF Laser?

A grid of micro-needles, penetrate the skin & heat the targeted area with radio frequency (RF) energy. This creates micro-wounds that stimulate the body’s natural healing process, encourage collagen production & regenerate healthy skin tissue. Treatment leaves behind a signature grid pattern of tiny marks which will heal over the next 7-10 days, and fade in around 2 weeks. Fractional RF Laser is often followed by a session of advanced LED light therapy to assist with healing & stimulating collagen production.

 

How much does it cost?

Treatment costs around $400 for an area approximately the size of an iphone.

Does it hurt?

It’s tolerable but the pain factor is worth it for the results!

 

Fractional RF Laser and many others treatments are performed by the highly trained therapists at Results Laser Clinic – Australia’s most trusted provider of laser, skin and Cosmetic Injectable treatments.

Is your skin bringing your selfie game down? Skin Needling for Acne scars

It’s official, acne is one of the most crushing blows to self-esteem. Studies have shown that people suffering from acne are up to 3 times more likely to suffer from depression than any other medical condition*.

Without descending deeper into depression, the fall out from acne is debatably worse – from red & brown ‘macular’ scars, which generally fade with time to boxcar & ice-pick scars which leave pitted, uneven skin. Skin Needling for Acne scars is a possible treatment option available at all of our clinics.

---

Good news, if your skin is making you retake more selfies than you are posting, there is a range of effective treatments to improve the appearance of scarring, also used for age lines & uneven skin texture. Skin Needling is becoming more & more popular for skin resurfacing but why?

 

What is Skin Needling?

Much spruiked as a rejuvenation & beauty treatments for celebs, Skin Needling can produce excellent results on acne scarring & age lines alike. Skin needling uses a pen, containing tiny surgical needles on a motorized head, used to lightly puncture the skin, breaking down scar tissue. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing processes including the production of new collagen. The result is a new, smoother skin surface.

The process is often followed with a short session of Advanced LED Light Therapy treatment to sooth & aid the healing process. Actual results that have been achieved with this process are shared below.

 

What is Skin Needling for Acne scars recovery time?

The treated area is covered with tiny punctures & scratches, which can leave it red. This usually fades within 24-48 hours. Anywhere between 4-6 treatments are usually required.

 

Clinical Skin Needling vs. Fractional RF Laser?

Everyone’s skin is different. Fractional RF Laser is very effective in treatment of pitted scarring & stretchmarks.

Skin Needling can produce excellent results on acne scarring & has four benefits over Fractional RF Laser.

• It is less painful, especially since numbing cream is applied to the skin prior to treatment.
• Recovery time is shorter & does not leave then trademark Fractional RF “grid stamp”, which takes 7-10 days to heal.
• Its is less expensive, around half the cost for a similar sized area.
• Skin Needling is also effective on those with darker skins.

Taking beauty advice from vampires? – Skin Needling Benefits

We were all intrigued when KK posted this Instagram photo.

And even more so when she denounced it as painful over three years later. I mean, who would want a facial where you are stabbed with tiny needles full of your own blood? Well there are quite a few Skin Needling Benefits!  So what is the fuss all about?

---

Why skin needling?

This affordable treatment can be used to treat a wide variety of skin concerns; it tackles pitted scaring, surgical scars, un-even skin tones, enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles. It also stimulates your natural collagen leaving you with a smoother, rejuvenated and younger look after each treatment at a fraction of the cost compared to other technologies on the market.

With consistent treatments, you will notice a significant reduction in pores, reduction or complete removal of pitted scaring and an overall more even skin tone. On average, scars can improve about 10-15% after your first treatment.

 

Skin Needling Benefits:

• Helps to restore your skin’s natural firmness and tightness
• Reduces depth of indented acne or chicken pox scars
• Improves skin texture and reduces pore size
• Lightens pigmentation marks and brightens skin tone
• Improves fine lines, folds and wrinkles
• Thickens the dermis and enhances dermal solidity

How does skin needling work?

Clinical Skin Needling works by lightly puncturing the skin with tiny medical needles through a motorised head. It is by far the most exciting treatment available on the market today, and Results Laser Clinic’s MediPro DermaPen is so advanced, that the depth of the needles can be adjusted in order to tailor a treatment specific to your needs.

It can even be used in those delicate and difficult areas such as around the lips, eyes and even on the nose. We love how instant the results are and we guarantee that you will love them too!

 

Can I have skin needling?

The best part about Clinical Skin Needling is that it works on almost all skin colours and types. Some treatments carry the risk of hyperpigmentation, especially in darker skins.

A FREE consultation with a clinical therapist will give you a better understanding of your suitability for the treatment. More often than not, if you have indented scaring, uneven skin surface or enlarged pores – you are the perfect candidate for the treatment.

 

Will it hurt like a vampire bite?

No. It is virtually painless! Our clinical therapists use a medical grade numbing cream on the skin’s surface about 30 minutes before treatment in order to make the experience as pleasant as possible. The sensation can be described as a fast, light vibration with slight flicks to the skin as the pen rolls over the area.

 

Not everyone will bleed, it just depends on how your skin responds to the needles and our therapists will only take the needle as far as your skin can handle. Bleeding does not mean better results.

How much recovery time will I need?

Usually redness and inflammation on the skin settles within hours of treatment and most clients will see their skin return to normal within 12-24 hours. To accelerate the healing process and also maximize the results of the Skin Needling treatment we recommend adding on an LED Advanced Light Therapy.

 

 

What are the normal side effects?

Skin may appear slight scratched and swollen within first 24hrs; pin prick bruising may also occur but will gradually subside over the 24-48hours.
It’s very normal for your skin to break out after the treatment as the skin is expelling toxins from beneath the surface.
It’s important to follow the aftercare given to you by our therapists.

 

#needling TIP

Avoid touching your face, sleep on a fresh pillow case, clean your mobile screen and also if you are applying makeup avoid within 24 hours and ensure your brushes have been thoroughly cleaned.
