ADVANCED SKIN TREATMENT PRODUCTS

NeoStrata Skin Care Range

NeoStrata skin care offers products formulated with Alphs-hydroxyacids (AHAs), Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs) and Bionic PHAs, which have been clinically proven to improve the visible signs of ageing, including:

*Premature Ageing

*Dry, dull and dehydrated skin

*Fine lines and wrinkles

*Pigmentation (dark spots)

*Acne scarring / oily and acne prone skin

Clinical studies have shown that when used as directed, NeoStrata products will leave your skin smoothly textured, healthier looking and more radiant and will help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

How do AHAs, PHAs and Bionic PHAs work?

As we age, our skin’s own natural shedding process slows down, which results in a dull-looking and uneven complexion. AHAs, PHAs as well as Bionic PHAs work by speeding up our natural shedding process. This encourages the skin to shed its dead cell surface (exfoliation), resulting in healthier, smoother, clearer, more radiant skin.

Will I visually see the signs of this natural shedding process, such as flaking and peeling skin?

During the first few weeks of use, you might experience some slight tingling, dryness and flakiness. As your new healthier skin cells come to the surface, the flakiness will be replaced with radiant new skin. The texture will fell softer and smoother and with regular use, fine lines will begin to disappear. Overall skin improvement should be noticeable in 2-3 weeks.

Dermaheal from Lamelle

Human growth factors are naturally occurring molecules that are produced by the body. Normal cell division and differentiation is dependant on these specialized peptide molecules.

Dermaheal topical growth factors are expertly formulated in a simple to follow range of products that include cleansers, day, night and eye creams and a hydrating sunscreen. Lamelle has also prepared additional powerful products selected to address those more worrying areas and signs of ageing.

Some of these products include powerful booster treatments such as an Anti-oxidant, Brightening and highly rated Intensive Cellular Regeneration serum.

Most skin care products contain ingredients that moisturise, protect, soothe and reduce free radicals, pigmentation and redness. There are very few ingredients that are strong rebuilders of damaged collagen and those that exist are generally very irritating to the skin and take a very long time to work effectively.

Compared to even powerful prescription medications, no other topical ingredients can display the effectiveness of growth factors on the skin. Topical growth factors like the ones in the Dermaheal range, increase new collagen in a fraction of the time and with NO irritation due to the fact that they occur naturally in the skin.

Heliocare for a photo-immunoprotection

Heliocare with breakthrough Fernblock. Fernblock is a natural plant extract from Central America which helps protect skin from the harmful effects of UVA and UVB radiation. This active ingredient is patented as an anti-oxidant and a photo protector for oral and topical use.

*Reduces sunburn

*Reduces dark patches

*Reduces skin damage

*Reduces skin cancer development

*Photosensitivity caused by chemical peels and laser

The protection begins half and hour after taking Heliocare tablets. However, it is highly recommended to start a few weeks before a holiday. They are effective in protecting cells deep in the skin. Damage to deeper cells is responsible for many signs of photo-ageing e.g. wrinkles.

Prevage MD

Prevage MD contains the active ingredient Idebenone. It penetrates deep into the skin to trap and neutralise every free radical it touches. It literally forms an antioxidant shield to protect your skin cells and allow them to form more healthy cells.

*Helps to correct the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

*Helps to protect the skin from environmental stressors known to cause ageing.

*Improves the overall balance of the skin.

*Contains Idebenone, a powerful physician strength antioxidant formulated in a skin care cream.

*Only available from your doctor.

 

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

Ellipse I2PL Laser

The Ellipse I2PL system is used for the treatment of a wide range of skin conditions, including the removal of unwanted hair and the treatment of sun-damaged skin, acne, and vascular and pigmented skin disorders.

What is Intensed Pulsed Light?

In its simplest form, this is a way of saying short flashes of very bright light. Ellipse uses short, safe bursts of light emitted from a flash-lamp to treat specific skin conditions.

The technology is rather complicated , but the Ellipse system very carefully controls the overall delivery of the light-both the amount of light and the speed of its delivery to your specific skin condition are exact and precisely controlled by Ellipse’s built-in computer.

Clinical trials documenting Ellipse’s safety and effectiveness are carried out by leading doctors prior to the release of the product. The results of these tests are then published in respected, refereed medical journals. You are welcome to view these scientific papers on the Ellipse website at www.ellipse.org. The settings used for your treatment will be based on the settings recommended by the clinicians who carried out the clinical trails.

Unlike many other products on the market, Ellipse carefully controls the amount of energy and the pulse so that the best possible result is obtained. Low cost equipment does not control the pulse, meaning the energy your body receives can vary during the lifetime of the pulse. Worst case, this can result in side effects such as burning. Ellipse controls the pulse, and delivers the desired energy in the optimal waveband for the treatment. These factors explain why Ellipse has been clinically proven to be safe and effective – proved also in millions of treatments.

What are the treatment possibilities?

The light that is absorbed by melanin and haemoglobin is absorbed within a few millimetres of the surface of the skin. The skin is made up of three layers, and only hair, blood vessels and melanin that are located close to the skin surface can be treated. Fortunately, this distance allows the Ellipse I2PL system to treat many of the most common and most annoying skin problems:

*Removal of excess hair on any part of the body

*Vascular lesions: thread veins, port wine stains

*Acne

*Pigmented lesions: brown pigmented marks, such as freckles, age spots

*Sun damaged skin

SIAscopy MoleMate

MoleMate is a non-invasive, rapid and painless mole screening technology. It enables doctors to quickly scan your moles and assist them in making an instant decision on wether they are suspicious or harmless.

MoleMate uses the science of SIAscopy – a clinically proven, non-invasive skin imaging technology that accurately detects melanoma at an early and treatable stage. Developed in the UK and widely used in Europe and Australia, the process is simple, using light and digital imaging to evaluate the state of your skin. SIAscopy is the only technology that can look up to 2mm beneath the surface of the skin providing five distinct images to aid diagnosis by your GP. Regular examinations also allow for comparisons with previous scans, detecting any changes at an early stage.

By using SIAscopy, MoleMate’s accurancy ensures that only the necessary surgery takes place. This means you can be confident of the diagnosis your GP is making in identifying any suspicious moles and in reducing the needs for biopsies and excisions of those that are net suspicious.
