KNOW YOUR PEEL – A GUIDE TO CHEMICAL SKIN PEELS

Chemical peels are a medical grade weapon in the battle for perfect skin but how do they work & which one is right for you?

Chemical Skin Peels can target dull complexion, uneven skin tone, skin ageing, pigmentation marks & blemishes, they can even tackle acne head-on, revealing luminous & radiant skin. Let’s go a little deeper into the world of chemical peels to discover what each peel does, to aid that choice of which peel is right for you!

---

What is a chemical skin peel?

A chemical peel is the application of a safe chemical solution, which penetrates through the top layer of skin, performing 3 main actions:

• Deeply exfoliates, removing dead and damaged skin cells
• Targets specific areas; e.g. treating toxins, oil, bacteria & imperfections below the skins surface
• Stimulates collagen production

What happens on the surface?

Similar to a snake shedding its skin, after a chemical peel we often loose our top layer of dead skin, revealing the new skin underneath, resulting in a smoother complexion. When peels are in action it’s easy to achieve these immediate and visible results

• Smoothes skin
• Reduces fine lines & wrinkles
• Reduces congestion & pore size
• Brightens dull/lifeless skin
• Evens skin tone
• Reduces pigmentation & blemishes

So, what happens beneath the surface?

Depending on the peel recommended to you by our clinical therapists, your cells will go through some changes that will help treat your skin priorities from inside & out.

Prevention, pre or post? How can facials help?

A new take on the role of facials

So we have been privy to articles on the inner secrets of pre-show facial pampering for supermodels. But what of the rest of us? Without a private beauty therapist to fly in from LA or the incentive of red carpet events to show off our dewy fresh-faced look, why & how should we embrace the facial? Long term, before or even after an event? It seems there is an option for everyone.

---

Prevention?

The longer term benefits of facial treatments are based around harnessing the body’s natural healing ability to regenerate collagen, keeping our skin plumped & smooth. Treatments such as Clinical Skin Needling & LED Light Therapy top the polls but for of us those allergic to commitment or looking in the mirror & seriously wondering if its to late…

 

Just before the big event?

Recovery time is key. With a few days up your sleeve, skin needling may be an option, especially if combined with a good mineral make-up for coverage of any redness.
For those of us running out of work, via the dry cleaner –  who is removing the cake-stains off the dress, rolled up in the bottom of the cupboard since its last outing – there is still hope of arriving fresh-faced!

The “Micro O²” is a mini-combination of two treatments; Microdermabrasion & Oxygen Facial Therapy, which takes only 20 minutes and 4 easy steps: cleanse, exfoliation, hydration & infusion. Makeup can be applied immediately after, so you are on your way, feeling a million dollars.

 

What does a Mciro Facial do?

Exfoliation gives skin a smoother texture & brighter more even skin tone. Oxygen infusion reduces the appearance of fine lines around the eyes & mouth, creating better definition around your cheeks & jaw.

And after the event…?

…I hear you groan, head in hands.

For those of us 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, the Micro O2 can also help how you look, if not how you feel.

Partying removes water from the skin causing fine lines to deepen. The pores constrict leading to spots. Skin slows its renewal process, leaving the complexion dull.

Exfoliation leaves fresh, new skin & decongested pores, into which are diffused oxygen & active ingredients to rehydrate, reduce the appearance of fine lines  & kick-start the renewal process. Chances are you’ll look better than you did the night before!

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.

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.
