Skin Rejuvenation
The bad news about male hormones is that they can make skin look coarser. Open or blocked pores are a common problem for men – both result from a build up of sebum and skin debris. Exfoliation is needed to clear dead skin cells from the surface of the skin to clear and prevent blockages and blackheads.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a safe, non-surgical skin resurfacing procedure performed under the supervision of a medical practitioner.
Your skin will be analysed at your initial consultation and your skin type discussed.
Microdermabrasion uses a highly controlled flow of fine, medical grade crystals to remove the dead outermost layers of skin.
This skin exfoliation process reveals the new, living skin cells that are soft, smooth and receptive to nutrients. It is commonly used to treat and/or diminish:
- aids in collagen stimulation
- blackheads and whiteheads
- fine lines and wrinkles
- sun damaged skin
- acne prone skin
- superficial age spots
- hyperpigmentation
- oily skin
- dry or patchy skin
- best results when used in conjuncion with topical anti-ageing products
Photorejuvenation (IPL)
We are now using Intense Pulsed Light systems - using beams of light at varying wavelengths - to rejuvenate and improve skin. IPL can gradually fade away pigmentation (even Rosacea redness), eliminate thread veins, remove superfluous hair, and reduce the signs of ageing. Intense Pulsed Light also stimulates collagen production to improve the skin's elasticity, thus firming it and minimising lines. The results are gradual, but obvious, and in most cases there is no 'downtime'.
Intense Pulsed Light is being hailed, by medics, and skincare gurus, as the anti-ageing breakthrough we've all been waiting for. Some eminent US dermatologists have gone as far as to say each session of IPL rejuvenates the skin by two years... Certainly the effects of the treatments keep on growing within the skin for weeks after each treatment.
As one client puts it: "It's like growing slowly younger day by day."
