IT’S TIME TO PUT YOUR #SKINFIRST

Given the high aesthetic standards that saturates our social feeds – naturally, it is common for many of us non-Cindy Crawford’s to consider getting a little lift, nip or tuck in an effort to capture the perfect selfie.

While the concept of a complete beauty overhaul can be financially intimidating or the thought of mummifying our face requires weeks of going incognito – committing to beauty rituals is important to keep your skin healthy.

---

Results Laser Clinic design treatment programs to cater to your skin priorities and empower you to put your #SKINFIRST. This March, Results Laser Clinic are putting your #SKINFIRST with 45% OFF Laser Hair Removal and Skin Treatments.

From acne, blackheads, ageing or dehydrated skin to stubborn cellulite – here is a list of our MUST HAVE beauty appointments to add into your rotation.

BREAK UP WITH ACNE
Skin Priority: Acne & Breakouts
Acne happens to the best of us – caused by clogged oil glands on the surface of the skin. And whilst the rumour mill might have you believing spot treating your zits with toothpaste will be an overnight success, this does not promote your skin’s health.
Recommendations: Acne Beta Peel combined with LED Light Therapy

Skin Priority: Acne Scarring
Acne scars are permanent textural changes that may occur on the skin as a result of acne OR caused by giving in to the temptation of popping a pimple we swore we would leave alone. Whilst applying concealer is a short term solution for our pre-Friday night photoshoot – these blemishes will haunt us the moment we wipe it off.
Recommendations: Our highly sought after Clinical Skin Needling combined with LED Light Therapy and innovative Fractional RF Laser

Skin Needling: Pen vs. Roller, which is best?

Which is better when it comes to Skin Needling: Pen vs. Roller? Discover the differences, benefits, and which option is best for your skin.

 

What is skin needling?

Skin Needling is rising in popularity for those in pursuit of the perfect skin. This skin resurfacing treatment is effective on uneven skin, scarring & age lines alike. The needling part refers to the tiny surgical needles, which are used to lightly puncture the skin, breaking down bumps, scar tissue & age lines. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing processes including the natural production of new collagen. The result is a new, smoother skin surface.

 

Skin Needling: Pen vs. Roller. But what holds the needles you ask?

There are two technologies: The DERMAL ROLLER  is a mechanical device with surgical Micro Needles protruding from a wheel. This is rolled up and down the affected area. The upside is the simplicity, the downside is that it can create ‘tearing’ wounds, as the roller moves forward, leading the needle to exit the skin at an angle, which can be quite painful.

 

The  NEEDLING PEN contains surgical micro needles, on a motorised head. Rather rather than using a rolling action, the Dermapen moves the needles in and out at a rate of about 1000 times per second, delivering tiny vertical punctures, creating less trauma to the epidermis. The head can be adjusted to vary the depth to which the needles penetrate the skin.

 

Where do I get Clinical Skin Needling?

Results Laser Clinic uses the Needling Pen at their 40 clinics nationwide. All treatments are performed by our expert therapists. Book a free, no-commitment consultation, to find out more & whether Skin Needling will help achieve the goals you’ve set for your skin.

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.
