Skincare, what you should know
There is so much information on social media where the stronger the skincare products are the better. But when it comes to active ingredients such as Vit C, Retinol, AHA's and Vitamin A, this information can be very misleading and actually ruin your skin, turning healthy skin into compromised skin that is sensitive and inflamed. The belief that unless you're experiencing dryness and flaking on a regular basis that your results are going to plateau and the ingredients aren't working hard enough for you is not correct. When your skin becomes compromised it’s a clear sign to take it easy and nourish your skin with non active products to improve your skins health. If you over-do things, particularly with AHA's and Vitamin A, you risk impairing you’re skins natural barrier.
Remember our skin is an organ not a muscle, it does not need to be pushed beyond its limits to become stronger.
Collectivity our skins microbiome are what keep our skin healthy. They regulate water loss and cell turnover, as well as protecting us from free radicals and pollution.
When we see acne, rosacea, sun damage, wrinkles ect, it’s a sure sign that our skin is not operating the way it should and it requires correction. Knowing exactly what is required to correct the skin is the key, this is when a good therapist, knowledgeable in how cells function can help you. They will tell you, there is no quick fix. Most of the skin issues we see occur in the epidermis, so the first port of call should be perfecting how those layers are being formed. Once we do that all the skin issues will start to correct themselves over time. Wrinkles and loss of elasticity are dermal ( surface) issues but really it began in the epidermis long before it became visible.
Remember less is more and consistency and importantly patience is key. Get skin savvy and find yourself someone who has invested their time into educating themselves to understand what it is your skin needs. When I recommend a product to you it’s not to sell you something, it’s to help you. Customised skin care programmes are the way of the future.
Think about the analogy of the marathon runner. If you were asked to run a marathon with no training or preparation would you do well, not likely, in fact you would do yourself damage. It’s the same with homecare products, they are your personal trainer, setting you up for success. With preparation your less likely to risk injury as well as downtime and recovery time.

Would you like a younger, fresher face, without surgery? Consider Radio Frequency, the non-surgical facelift.
Radio Frequency Facial. What are they?
People in their 30s considering anti-ageing treatments and maintenance procedures may find radio frequency facial rejuvenation an attractive proposition. It is quick, relatively affordable and requires little down time.
Those who, like Gwyneth Paltrow, would rather stay away from invasive cosmetic surgery and anti-wrinkle and dermal filler injection treatments opt for radio frequency as it is a non-invasive treatment option.
Radio frequency treatments improve the skins elasticity, the skin quality and the tightness. Resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Who is it suitable for ? They are suitable for those who have mild to moderate skin laxity in the face. People of any skin colour can be treated with radio frequency devices.
You are a candidate for radio frequency treatments if you desire any of the following:
To lift the brows and tighten the skin on the forehead
To thicken and tighten the skin under the eyes
To lift the upper cheeks
To lift (slightly) and diminish enlarged pores on the cheeks and mid-face
To reduce jowls and sagging along the jaw line
To tighten skin and diminish wrinkling on the neck
WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO SEE RESULTS?
Collagen remodelling is reformation of the skin’s scaffolding and does take time. However clients claim they can see & feel improvements immediately after the treatment. In general though we tell clients to expect to see an improvement over 4-6 weeks, in that time you will notice a change in your skin’s tone, as collagen tightens, scars remodel and skin drainage improves. This change will continue for several months after RF Treatments.
What is the best anti-aging Facial ? skin needling or radio frequency?
What is the best anti aging treatment available?
Without a doubt the Skin Needling and the Radio Frequency non-surgical Facelift are both excellent. But if the thought of needling your skin is just too much for you opt for the RF.
As we get older our muscles shrink causing surrounding fat and tissue to take on a 'drooping' appearance. When facial muscles begin to shrink the shape of the face itself changes and can be very ageing. Unlike other treatments on the market, the 'Radio Frequency treatment works at the deeper level of the muscle, not simply at the surface level of the skin. By rebuilding the underlying muscle mass which supports the skin layer, the face itself becomes 'lifted'. Fine lines and wrinkles on the surface of the skin then become reduced or eliminated. The radio frequency treatment also stimulates the body's natural production of collagen and elastin, further enhancing skin tissue and accentuating a more youthful appearance.
The radio frequency facelifting treatment is a natural way to exercise facial muscles which unlike the body are particularly difficult to exercise effectively even with extensive manual manipulation. Originally developed for those suffering from Bells Palsy and Strokes it was discovered that when the treatment was applied to the 'drooping' side of the face that it actually lifted higher than the unaffected side. The results can be remarkable. For 24-48 hours after a treatment the muscles continue to work and regenerate themselves.
