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.”

Post Treatment Advice

To ensure you have a safe, quick and permanent hair laser removal solution, this article provides post treatment advice and the steps to be taken after a laser hair removal treatment.

Immediately after laser hair removal treatment

The area has just been treated and will be sensitive, slightly red and swollen. This is a normal reaction to a laser hair removal treatment that will subside within 2- 12 hours. To aid in the soothing and healing of the skin, your laser hair removal therapist will apply a skin soothing gel. A hot shower within 24 hours of the conducted treatment is not advised and must not exceed a lukewarm temperature. As the sensitivity of the skin has also increased, strongly scented lotions or soaps, exfoliant creams and aggressing scrubbing should be avoided.

Post Treatment: Two to four weeks after laser hair removal treatment

Stubble will appear within 1-4 weeks of the hair removal treatment. This is not hair regrowth, rather, it is the treated hair being purged from the follicles. You must allow this hair to fall out of the skin on its own. Hairs that were in the rest phase at the treatment may enter the active phase in 1-6 months depending on the body. Follow-up treatment may be performed within 1-2 weeks of new hair growth. Keeping a mental note of these useful tips will not only ensure a great laser hair removal experience, but a newfound confidence and positive attitude about your appearance.

Causes of Skin Pigmentation and Sun Spots

Lets take a look at the causes of Skin Pigmentation and Sun Spots. But First…

Signs and Symptoms of pigmentation and sun spots

Pigmentation can vary in size and colour however they are usually darker than the skin although they can be pink in colour. Fair skinned individuals are more likely to be affected by moles and freckles which can also be attributed to hereditary factors. Almost everyone has at least some kind of pigmentation whether it be freckles, sun spots, moles or birth marks. There are no real symptoms that cause pigmentation and they may even appear overnight, however in some cases what may appear like normal pigmentation may also be cancerous. Therefore it is imperative that excessive exposure to the sun is approached in a safe manner using a highly protective sunscreen with an SPF of 50+, whilst those with a history of cancer in the family can be put at greater risk.

Causes of Pigmentation and Sun Spots

Causes of Skin Pigmentation and Sun Spots is an excessive amount of melanin found in certain skin cells. These skin cells generally carry higher levels of melanocytes which produce the melanin causing the skin to appear pigmented in certain areas.

Pigmentation can be attributed to environmental factors such as:

• Excessive exposure to the sun
• The contraceptive pill
• Hormones
• Pregnancy
• Ageing
• Hereditary factors
