Myths and Truths


We have a wealth of knowledge to share regarding the best care of your skin.


Enjoy our blog as we bust some myths and expose the truth of effective Skin Care

Dehydrated Winter Skin

Tuesday, May 15, 2012

During the winter months skin can feel tight, dry and scaly which can all be attributed to the loss of
moisture in the skin and the thickening of the outer layers of skin (stratumcorneum).
Simply by accelerating the exfoliation process and allowing the secretion of your
natural oils will help reduce the skin’s tautness.

The application of creams and serums containing ingredients that not only form an occlusive barrier to
prevent moisture loss but actually draw moisture particles from the atmosphere to the skin offer relief and
comfort to dry skin.There is no need to tolerate dry skin with these technological advances where skin
can be kept comfortable, supple, firm and well toned throughout the winter months.
Treatments at Beautiful Image for dehydrated dry skin.

We have a range of hydration treatments and intense moisturising skin care products help to restore
skin’s natural lubricants by decreasing the amount of dead skin cells which build up in the winter months.
During a consultation your paramedical skin technician may recommend some of the following
treatments:
Microdermabrasion, Specialised Environ Treatments, Specialsied Peels, LED Light Therapy Treatments,
Green Peel and IPL Photo-rejuvenation.

These treatments increase the microcirculation which intern supplies nutrients to the skin and provides
healthy colour and vitality. These treatments quickly stimulate rapid cell renewal encouraging the new
healthy cells to migrate to the surface of the skin surface along with the vital lubricants that naturally
hydrate the skin.

IPL - ensure you have a proper consultation first!

Myth

All IPL or laser hair removal is the same so just shop for the cheaper price.

Truth

This is so not true. You must be very careful and ask the correct questions to avoid a burn or no result.

  • The operator must be Laser safety qualified
  • They must do a consultation with you to make sure you are suitable to have the treatment.
  • In that consultation they should use a tool to measure your melanin content so they can set the machine correctly so as not to burn your skin
  • The word IPL is just an anagram meaning Intense Pulsed Light it does not mean the all IPL will work at the same level and remove hair permanently.   The machine that produces the IPL is what will control your results.
  • If the machine is of high class you may only need to have facial hair treated at 3 to 4 week intervals and may need about 6 treatments depending on your hormones. Body hair the intervals between treatments is 6 to 8 weeks and you usually only need 4 to 6 treatment to be pretty hair free. You may need a touch up every 12 months or so if dormant hair comes through.
