achieving skin results
Achieving results is dependent on client's environmental exposure, lifestyle factors and skincare habits to sufficiently prime the skin for the service and put the right recovery measures in place to ensure the skins regenerative capacity is maximised.
priming the skin Will require a use of key products for approximately 2-4 weeks prior to the procedure.
Preparatory products at home, prior to, between, and post procedure, to reduce the potential for adverse reactions and increase the potential for better results. Pretreatments to kick start regeneration and boost skin's barrier.
If the skin is not primed well, the skin is likely to get stuck in the inflammatory stage, with the risk of adverse reactions and downtime. A well hydrated and prepped skin with good barrier function means the skin will tolerate the treatment better and reduce the risk of adverse responses.
post care
At-home care post procedure is just as vital to the overall management of the skin.
Using powerful at home formulas which support skin healing will optimise recovery and guide the skin into remodelling phase ensuring minimal downtime.
The skin is exposed to UV irradiation, pollution, constant irritation and more daily thus increasing risks for photooxidative damage with long‐term detrimental effects such
as photoaging, characterized by wrinkles, irregular pigmentation,telangiectasia, solar keratosis and Bowen's disease….
Photo-aged skin displays alterations in the cellular component and extracellular matrix with accumulation of disorganized elastin and its
microfibrillar component fibrillin in the deep dermis and a severe loss of interstitial collagen, the major structural proteins of the dermal
connective tissue that keeps our skin in place, strong and firm. The advances in skin biology have led to the development of a diversity of treatments aimed at preventing aging
and rejuvenating the skin, including chemexfoliation and microneedling.
Combination of both treatments in one provide great achievement in skin
overall rejuvenation,
firmness,
smaller pore size,
acne scaring reduction,
skin strength and tolerance improvement, overall hydration,
minimising of hyperpigmentation
and much more…
Micro-needling is on top of the list for seeking naturally driven results by using our own body’s natural response to micro-injury, causing natural wound healing effect, which in turn induces new collagen and extracellular matrix production leading to skin rejuvenation and strengthening without the need for injections!
