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 

Each peel is designed to target your skin priorities, you will find all our peels have similar superficial results, whilst targeting those nasties from within. So now for the low down:

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.

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.

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!

Cosmetic dermal fillers – If I could turn back time.

Cosmetic dermal fillers – If I could turn back time. Unfortunately it’s all a part of growing older – as we age the skin loses its elasticity and starts to sag, wrinkle and fine lines appear. Skin that has aged shows most on the face and for many people the way to deal with this is to go under the knife and have a face lift. Other people prefer to avoid a face lift and opt for cosmetic dermal filler treatment through Results Laser Clinics.

---

Cosmetic dermal fillers are known by a number of different names – injectable fillers, cosmetic fillers, facial fillers, injectable collagen and more. The procedure is the same and the only preparation involves applying a topical anaesthetic cream to the area.

Dermal fillers area great way of turning back the clock and making a clients face look more refreshed and youthful. Unlike a face lift cosmetic dermal fillers are less expensive have very little risks and there is very little or none down-time.  These injections have become a popular treatment for wrinkles, scaring from acne or for treating fine lines. An injection of fillers at Results Laser Clinic can also make lips appear fuller.

Dermal Fillers *fill out* folds, lines and wrinkles

Following the injection the dermal fillers stay in the skin for up to 6 months, they will then start to gradually wear out so the patient will need to return for another injection. The actual length of time the dermal fillers remain in effect depends on your skin type, where the drug was actually injected on your face; and the ingredients in the injection. There are many different dermal fillers on the market today and the type that is used depends on the degree of *lifting* that is needed and the area that is to be treated.
