Know your peel – a Guide to Chemical Skin Peels

Know your Peel- 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.

 

Peeled to perfection

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.

 

Resurface & Repair your skin

Skin Needling can help improve skin texture & reduce the size of open pores, in just one treatment. 4-6 treatments are usually needed for severe acne scarring or age lines. Spring is a perfect time to craft your look for the summer & parties ahead.

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!

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.

How Effective are Cosmetic Injections?

How Effective are Cosmetic Injections? As we age, wrinkles and deep lines start developing on the face. Gravity causes sleep lines and vertical lines to appear. At times sun damage-related or facial expression lines show up on the face too.  Our skin also tends to develop fine wrinkles around the eyes, cheeks and mouth and all of these are signs of aging. In most instances wrinkles on the forehead are associated with how expressions of anger, sadness and anxiety show up on our face and they impact the way we looks.

Cosmetic Injections: The Ideal Treatment

Today, there are a number of treatments which help in getting rid of all these fine lines and wrinkles- some are surgical while others are non-surgical.  Most people don’t want to go under the knife and prefer Cosmetic Injections in Sydney. This procedure produces dramatic effects, is reversible and has very minimal side-effects. These injections are effective in fixing skin imperfections, but have also been used for decades in adults & children to correct double vision, muscle spasm of facial muscles as well as excessive sweating and tension headaches.

About Cosmetic Injections

Cosmetic injections are essentially a very small part of the protein-chain of a real toxin. In this treatment, a series of these injections are placed in muscles that surround wrinkles and fine lines. This treatment temporarily relaxes the muscles which have been over-contracted and result in deep lines. Facial expression muscles are injected. This selective relaxation of the muscles smoothes wrinkling on the forehead, crow’s feet, frown lines, & smoker’s lines; this  dramatically  improves the appearance of the neck and face.  

The Effective Treatment

How Effective are Cosmetic Injections? Many people tend to develop crow’s feet; these are deep, well-established oblique & horizontal furrows that appear around the eyes- these are caused by the muscles’ squeezing action.  Cosmetic Injections in Sydney prevents this contraction of muscles and the lines disappear. These treatments are very effective and most people can expect between 75-95% improvement in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The injection stays effective for 2-5 months/ longer based on every individual.  When you feel that the results of the injection are beginning to wear off, that is the time you have to come to Results Laser Clinic for the next injection.

The Cumulative Effect

Cosmetic Injections in Sydney provide a semi-permanent cumulative effect and keep your facial skin free of wrinkles and fine lines. We are one of the leading clinics in Sydney and a large number of clients come to us for this treatment. Over the years, we have built a very strong reputation, have an expert medical team and our clinic is one of the most reputed in Australia.
