Get in touch with us

    Here is why Microdermabrasion is the Perfect Treatment for Spring! Spring is a time of renewal and rejuvenation, making it the ideal season to refresh your skincare routine. One treatment offered at Results Laser Clinic that stands out for its ability to revitalise your complexion is microdermabrasion! This non-invasive procedure offers a host of benefits that can help you achieve glowing, healthy skin as you transition from winter to spring. Here’s why microdermabrasion is a great treatment to try this season.

     

    Sheds Winter Skin

    Winter leaves skin dry, dull, and flaky. Microdermabrasion exfoliates dead skin cells, revealing a fresher, more vibrant layer underneath, giving your skin a much-needed boost.

     

    This Perfect Treatment for Spring Promotes Cell Turnover

    Microdermabrasion stimulates the growth of new, healthy skin cells, improving texture and overall appearance. This helps you achieve a smoother, more radiant complexion as the weather warms up.

    Improves Skin Tone and Texture

    Spring is perfect for addressing uneven skin tone and texture. Microdermabrasion reduces hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and acne scars, giving your skin a more uniform, youthful look by smoothing out fine lines and imperfections.

     

    Enhances Skincare Product Absorption
    Post-microdermabrasion, your skin absorbs skincare products more effectively. With dead skin cells out of the way, serums and moisturisers penetrate deeper, maximising their benefits.

    Prepares Skin for Sun Exposure

    Spring means more sun exposure. Microdermabrasion helps prepare your skin by reducing clogged pores and breakouts. Remember to use sunscreen post-treatment, as your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays.

      Dry Skin vs. Dehydrated Skin: let’s break it down. We’ve all experienced that uncomfortable tightness, flakiness, and dullness that make us wonder, “Is my skin dry or dehydrated?” While the terms are often used interchangeably, dry skin and dehydrated skin are two distinct concerns with unique causes and solutions. In this blog, we’ll embark on a journey to understand the differences between dry and dehydrated skin, helping you decode the mysteries of your skin’s needs.

       

      Defining Dry Skin:

      Dry skin is a skin type, often determined by genetics and influenced by environmental factors. Individuals with dry skin typically have lower sebum (oil) production, leading to a lack of natural lubrication. Common characteristics of dry skin include flakiness, rough texture, and a predisposition to fine lines and wrinkles. Dry skin tends to be consistent and can be a year-round concern.

      Common Causes of Dry Skin:

      • Genetics and skin type
      • Harsh weather conditions
      • Age-related decline in oil production
      • Overuse of harsh skincare products
      • Environmental factors such as low humidity

       

      Understanding Dehydrated Skin:
      Dry Skin vs. Dehydrated Skin

      On the other hand, dehydrated skin is a condition that can affect any skin type, including oily and combination skin. Dehydration occurs when the skin lacks water, leading to symptoms like tightness, dullness, and an overall lack of plumpness. Dehydrated skin can be a temporary issue caused by external factors or lifestyle choices, such as a poor diet or insufficient water intake.

      Common Causes of Dehydrated Skin:

      • Inadequate water intake
      • Excessive caffeine or alcohol consumption
      • Harsh skincare products that strip natural moisture
      • Environmental factors like central heating or air conditioning
      • Weather changes, such as cold or windy conditions

       

      Distinguishing Between the Two:
      Dry Skin vs. Dehydrated Skin

      While both dry and dehydrated skin may exhibit similar symptoms, there are key differences that can help you identify which concern you’re dealing with:

      • Texture and Feel:
        • Dry skin often feels rough, flaky, and may be accompanied by visible fine lines.
        • Dehydrated skin tends to feel tight and lacks plumpness, with an emphasis on dullness rather than flakiness.
      • Oil Production:
        • Dry skin is characterised by a lack of natural oils, leading to an overall dry complexion.
        • Dehydrated skin can occur even in individuals with normal or oily skin, emphasising a lack of water rather than oil.
      • Response to Products:
        • Dry skin benefits from rich, moisturizing products that focus on replenishing oils.
        • Dehydrated skin responds well to hydrating products, such as water-based serums, to boost moisture levels.
      • Lifestyle Factors:
        • Dry skin is often influenced by genetic factors and remains consistent over time.
        • Dehydrated skin can be a temporary condition influenced by lifestyle choices, environment, or seasonal changes.

      Dry Skin vs. Dehydrated Skin

       

      Understanding the differences between dry and dehydrated skin is the first step in creating an effective skincare routine. By identifying the root cause of your skin concerns, you can tailor your approach to address specific needs and achieve a healthy, radiant complexion. Whether your skin craves nourishing oils or a hydration boost, decoding the mysteries of dry versus dehydrated skin empowers you to make informed choices for a skin-loving journey.

      At Results Laser Clinic we offer a variety of treatments that can help treat both dry and dehydrated skin. If you would like to learn more about how we can help treat your skin concerns, visit your nearest Clinic and book a complimentary skin assessment today!

      My chemical romance: a chemical peel review

      Get in touch with us

        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.

          How Much Does It Cost for Microdermabrasion? Smooth Skin That’s Worth It.
          Shine bright like a diamond at a fraction of the price! With Microdermabrasion, eliminate dull, lacklustre skin caused by the daily accumulation of stress, pollutants and dead skin cells.


          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

           

          Types of Microdermabrasion and The Benefits

          An advantage of Microdermabrasion is that its benefits can be experienced by itself or in conjunction with other skin treatments.

          1. Micro Express

          The Micro Express treatment includes:

          • Double cleanse
          • Diamond tip exfoliation

          2. Micro Oxygen Infusion

          For the busy individual, save on recovery time and the price of two treatments by combining them. Micro Oxygen Infusion involves exfoliating the skin using the Medipro diamond tipped wand to eliminate the build up of dead skin cells and debris, stimulating cell growth. This is followed up by the infusion of active oxygen serum and active ingredients into your skin, for instant hydration, plumpness and radiant glow. The perfect pre party facial or a mid week treat.

          The Micro Infusion treatment includes:

          • Double cleanse

          • Infusion of serum rich in antioxidants and active ingredients

          What Causes Acne On The Face?

          Get in touch with us

            No one is immune to pimples and although picking blemishes gives you short term satisfaction, you are left with a not so friendly reminder on your face. Whether you’ve had it in the past or have recently experienced breakouts on your face, learn the causes of acne to prevent future ones from appearing.

            What causes acne on the face and when does it occur?

            Acne commonly occurs during puberty. However it can happen anytime dependent on a range of factors such as:

            • Hormonal changes
            • Genetics
            • Use of harsh skincare ingredients
            • Build up of dead skin cells and oils from not properly washing the face
            • Excessive production of sebum (oil)

            How is acne formed?

            Your skin has pores that connect to oil glands under the skin. These glands are responsible for the production of a regulated amount of sebum which carries dead skin cells through the follicles to the surface of the skin. Pustules, or more commonly referred to as a pimple is formed when these follicles get blocked as oil builds up under the skin as it’s infected with bacteria.

            Where do face breakouts occur?

            The most common place for adults to experience acne on the face is along the jawline and cheek. Whereas with teens, the hot spots for breakouts are on the T-zone: forehead, nose and chin.

             

            What options are there to treat and prevent future breakouts on the face?

            1. Regularly cleansing, exfoliating and moisturising the face: Treat don’t strip

            Double cleansing, moisturising the face daily and exfoliating 2-3 times a week with pH balanced products will clear away the daily buildup of dead skin cells and oil from your face. Sticking with gentle skincare products will ensure that your skin’s pH balance is not thrown out of whack which can leave your face prone to irritation and infection.

             

            Often oily skin is an indicator of dry or dehydrated skin as the sebum production is sent into overdrive in an attempt to balance the skin’s natural oil and moisture levels. By moisturising and wearing sunscreen daily, the skin’s barrier is protected, minimising the amount of water loss.

             

            Results Active Protect SPF50+ is a lightweight and oil-free sunscreen that comes in a handy tube ready for on the go application. It can be worn by itself or under makeup and best of all, it’s been formulated specifically to be used in conjunction with any of our skin treatments.Refine and rejuvenate your skin with microdermabation

             

            2. Undergoing regular skin treatments: Acne Beta Peel + LED Light Therapy

            Skin treatments such as chemical peels work by deeply penetrating beneath the epidermis to treat congested pores, build of dead skin cells, pigmentation, large open pores, blemishes and breakouts. Unlike physical exfoliation processes, chemical peels do not aggravate or create tiny wounds in the top layer of the skin. The Acne Beta Peel combines the unique properties of salicylic and dioic acid to effectively destroy acne causing bacteria and prevent future breakouts. We highly recommend the LED Light Therapy treatment after a chemical peel as it aids killing acne causing bacteria, soothes redness, stimulates collagen, accelerates healing time and enhances your treatment results.

            What causes acne scars?

            Whilst not dangerous, breakouts can leave scars and hyperpigmentation. Whilst hyperpigmentation can fade over time, scarring appear as permanent textural indentations on the skin. Skin Needling is an effective solution in reducing the appearance of scarring. Using the DermaPen, tiny needles on a motorised head create micro wounds. This triggers your body’s natural response to generate new skin cells, stimulate collagen and elastin. For optimum results, we recommend 4 to 6 treatments combined with the healing properties of LED Light Therapy to reduce the appearance of scarring, improve skin texture, reduces pore size and a rejuvenated complexion. 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.

            Causes of pimples on face in adults: Top tips on how to prevent face breakouts

            Get in touch with us

              If we had to choose a single thing we didn’t miss about being a teenager, the answer would’ve been unanimous: pimples. Taxes over breakouts, anyday. But just like understanding your finances, by delving into the causes of pimples on the face in adulthood, you can finally regain control of your skin. It’s time to show them who’s boss! Here are the 4 main causes of pimples on the face in adults and essential tips on how to avoid them:


              1. Buildup of skin cells, dirt and oil

              Pimples, breakouts, whiteheads and blackheads are formed when a buildup of dead skin cells, dirt, oil and acne causing bacteria clog your pores. Leading inflammation, irritation and unsightly red blemishes. TOP TIP #1: Wash your face twice daily and exfoliating on a regular basis By regularly washing your face in the morning and night, your skin is free from the dead skin cells, dirt and environmental pollutants that have inhabited on your face during the day. An additional step in your journey to a clearer complexion is exfoliating. Chemical Peels are an effective way to target priorities such as

              • Treating active acne
              • Eliminating acne causing bacteria to prevent future breakouts
              • Evens out your complexion
              • Reduce the appearance of redness and inflammation
              • Improves texture
              • Tightens pores

              Combined with the healing properties of LED Light Therapy, you are on your way to a blemish-free and radiant complexion. This treatment effectively destroys acne causing bacteria, soothes and calms inflammation as well as encourages cellular repair.

              Your friend who’s regularly changing their pillowcase may have been on to something. Studies have shown that changing your pillowcase every few days can reduce the chances of your skin from breaking out. Why? Over time, your pillowcase becomes a haven for dead skin cells, dirt and oil from your clothes, face and hair.
