Is Beauty Skin Deep?

Skin is the body's largest organ. It has many functions other than being a wrapper & canvas for make up; it also reflects our mental as well as our internal physical health and wellbeing.

Collectively, the seventy three trillion cells forming your organs and systems work to absorb vital nutrients and expel toxic waste products, and your skin is no different. This is done via a healthy cell wall, but as we age, the cell wall becomes less efficient and more susceptible to damage.

The deterioration stems from a variety of areas such as diet, post surgery recovery, general illness, injury and the natural aging process, as well as unprotected UV exposure.

Emotional and work related stress over a prolonged period also show signs on a cellular level, impacting on the ability of our cells to function.

Conditions such as rosacea, red patches or spide veins, surface dehydration, loss of elasticity and age spots result from the inability of our cells to function correctly. The good news is that we can help our cells do their best by providing them with what they need.

Every cell has numerous receptors along its walls, which look for the nutrients they need. When delivered in a form that our cells recognise, nutrients can help underperforming cells and boost those healthy ones.

The result is total body health, which shows in the beauty of a radiant healthy skin.

Cosmeceuticals and Nutraceuticals...

Cosmeceuticals and Nutraceuticals are skin and dietary nutritional supplements that incorporate scientific technology and effectively deliver nutrients such as anti oxidants "mother natures super cleaners" directly into the cells of the skin.

Nutraceuticals, are based in nature from whole food sources, and are backed by science. Cosmecuticals are similarly scientifically proven to be beneficial to skin. They can be used if you require something specific such as a tailored weight management program, preparation for surgery and to ensure a speedy recovery with minimal down time, or for topical skin condition like rosacea or acne, or hormonal imbalance.

Intense Pulse Light @ The Sydney Skin Institute

IPL is a form of light therapy which is used for a variety of treatments, including hair removal, treating fine wrinkles, spider viens and removing sun spots.

Light flashes from the hand piece that is guided over the skin and is absorbed by the dark pigmentation (melanin) in the hair shaft or sunspot, which transforms into heat and causes permanent removal of the target cells.

Fair skin with dark pigmented hair or sunspots is preferred as there is less risk of hypo or hyper pigmentation, but treatment of people of dark complexion is possible.A series of four to eight treatments is usually recommended, but this depends on the individual. From years of treating numerous individuals I can say most people are surprised and happy with their results, you will never ever know till you give it a go.
