Pigment

Pigmentation is determined by the amount of melanin in the skin. Melanin is produced by specialized cells called melanocytes. After melanin is produced, it spreads to nearby skin cells. Pigmentation disorders can be widespread and affect many areas of the skin, or they can be localized and affect only certain areas of the skin. Hyperpigmentation occurs when there is an abnormally high amount of melanin in the skin and the skin appears darker in colour. Speak to your practitioner to decide the most suitable treatment option for you and your pigmentation concerns.

Redness

Diffuse redness is characterised by a blushing or flushing appearance in the skin and occurs when blood rushes to the skin and causes capillaries to dilate. It commonly appears on the nose, forehead, cheeks and chin. If diffuse redness is left untreated, capillaries can remain dilated and result in permanent broken capillaries on the skins surface, known as spider veins or chronic redness such as Rosacea. Speak to your practitioner to decide the most suitable treatment option for you and your redness concerns.

Acne

Acne, a very common skin concern, presents itself as whiteheads, blackheads, pimples or as more severe and painful cysts. Our skin contains oil glands which produce a protective oil for our skin. This oil reaches the surface of our skin through tiny channels called pores. If all goes well, the skin produces just the right amount of oil to protect our skin. However, if the oil gets trapped in the pores, it allows bacteria that normally live on the surface of the skin to grow in the pore opening. When this happens, pores become blocked and pimples develop. Speak to your practitioner to decide the most suitable treatment option for you and your acne concerns.

Fine lines

Fine lines on the face are one of the most visible signs of ageing. They are caused by the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin. As we age, our bodies don’t produce enough collagen to replenish what has been lost, so the skin begins to lose its strength and elasticity over time. This is when fine lines start to appear. While there is no way to halt the ageing process entirely, there are products and treatment options available to maintain and enjoy a more youthful looking appearance. Speak to your practitioner to decide the most suitable treatment option for you and your fine line concerns.

Sagging

Over time, sunlight and gravity take their toll on the skin and we inevitably lose volume in our faces, via fat, muscle and bone changes. Sagging skin, although a natural part of the ageing process, is one of the most dramatic signs of ageing.

Dull skin

Dull or lacklustre skin often refers to skin that is lacking radiance and vitality. As our skin matures, its ability to nourish and renew itself slows down. This causes a build-up of dead cells on the surface, hiding the skins natural, healthy complexion. To rejuvenate and restore skin radiance and vitality, there are a number of treatment options available. Speak to your practitioner to decide the most suitable treatment option for you and your dull skin concerns.

Dark circles/hollowing

Dark circles are caused when blood vessels under the eyes appear more prominent than in other areas of the face. As the skin under your eyes is the thinnest skin on your body this means that you can see the blood vessels hiding just beneath the surface more easily. The ageing process is one of the main causes of this hollowing effect which typically occurs between your lower eyelid and upper cheek. As we get older, we lose fat in this area, making it appear longer, deeper and more shadowed. The causes of dark circles/hollowing are different for each person and often associated with lifestyle traits, however genetics plays the biggest role. Speak to your practitioner to decide the most suitable treatment option for you and your dark circle/hollowing concerns.

Sweating

Everybody sweats, but if heavy and excessive sweating occurs in circumstances that would not normally trigger sweating this may be a medical condition known as Hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis is caused by a dysfunction of the autonomous nervous system which results in overactive eccrine sweat glands. The part of the brain that regulates the sweating process emits signals to the eccrine glands even when there is no need to cool the body. There are a number of steps that can be taken to help reduce the symptoms of heavy and excessive sweating. Speak to your practitioner to decide the most suitable treatment option for you and your sweating concerns.

Jaw clenching

Jaw clenching, also known as Bruxism, can cause headaches, earaches, facial pain, and even migraines. Another side effect of Bruxism is Hypertrophy of the masseter muscle, the large muscle that moves the jaw, which may lead to the appearance of a square jaw. Treatments for jaw clenching can provide great relief from jaw soreness, headaches and soften the appearance of the jaw line. Speak to your practitioner to decide the most suitable treatment option for you and your jaw clenching concerns.

Skin tightening

As we age our skin loses its ability to bounce back as quickly. Skin tightening treatments stimulate the body’s natural collagen processes to improve skin texture, thickness, and quality. Ageing is inevitable but we can slow down the ageing process and turn back the clock to rebuild the foundational layers of the skin. Non-surgical skin tightening devices stimulate collagen and elastin production deep in the dermal layer of the skin, leaving you with a firmer, healthier and dewier complexion. Speak to your practitioner to decide the most suitable treatment option for you and your skin tightening concerns.
