Facial Treatments
Why are Facial Treatments good for you skin?
Facials improve the skin's tone, texture, and elasticity by counteracting the damaging effects of air pollution and sun exposure. Refreshed and Relaxed Skin: With each facial, a facial massage is often incorporated.
For acne patients it is crucial to deep clean the congested pores, especially with extractions, to speed up the healing process, and minimize further congestion which may lead to pimple formation. Hygienic extractions performed by a professional is preferred to someone trying to “pop” their own pimples, since they often become too aggressive, which often leads to acne scarring.
For aging skin, a facial can stimulate circulation, flush excess water and toxins, moisturize, and stimulate collagen production, especially if used in combination with microdermabrasion and LED light therapy.
Doctor Pen Treatment
What is the Dr. Pen Treatment?
Not everyone is blessed with a clear, fresh-looking skin, free of blemishes and the signs ageing. Your skin is your body's first line of defense to environmental stressors, pollution, the weather, and everything in between. In addition, not practicing sun-smart behaviors will lead to fine lines, wrinkles, skin sagging, discolorations and other signs of premature aging of the skin.
A pen with a small head that contains 12+ sterilised needles, vibrates at a high speed, and to a prescribed depth. It pierces the superficial layer of the skin thousands of times in a few seconds. This causes “micro trauma” in a carefully targeted way, thereby setting up a healing response in the skin which involves the creation of more collagen and elastin, to patch up and heal the tiny injuries. Collagen and elastin give your skin its strength and ability to stretch and make it appear more youthful.
Over all, microneedling treatments are considered very safe; there have been few reports of adverse events related to the practice.
Microneedling is not a quick fix. Changes with microneedling take time, because your body is actually repairing itself and growing new tissue. Most people will also need a series of treatments – typically at least two or three, but potentially as many as six, spaced four to six weeks apart – to get the desired result.
Microneedling is less expensive than laser treatments. It may also work better for people with darker skin tones because it does not involve heat the way laser treatments do, which can affect your skin’s pigmentation, or colour.
