Beauty Countdown to Summer

OMG SUMMER ALREADY?

Summer starts officially with a big “S” on Saturday 1st December and whether the climate has us taking refuge in the shopping mall or racing for the beach we need to be rocking & ready, with party season just around the corner.

Its OK to admit that our good intentions for a winter beauty programme never made it past bookmarking that blog, what’s important for those of us living in last-minute-dot-com-land, is putting thoughts in to action, just in time for this season’s ‘me launch’

So what do you have time left to start, on your journey to summer beauty chic?

 

9 Weeks to go – Laser Hair Removal

Sessions required: 4-10
Time between Treatments: 4-6 weeks
Recovery Time: 0 – but watch out, no tanning!

There’s just time to start a programme of Laser Hair Removal and get through 3 sessions, before the Christmas on the beach, with a lay-off over January and touch ups, when the tan has died down toward the end of February. A ‘defo’ for smaller areas such as navel line, underarms & brazilian which don’t get so much sun time.

 

8 Weeks to go – Non-Surgical Face Lift

Sessions required: 4-6
Time between Treatments: 2-4 weeks
Recovery Time: 12-24 hours – Make-up on & you’re party-prepped!

Non-Surgical Face Lifts are a must for those of us with brows and jowls threatening to defy gravity despite every facial toning exercise invented. Short term results are visible after just one treatment but build up a longer-lasting lifted look by stimulating collagen regeneration, with half a dozen treatments, a couple of weeks apart.

 

7 Weeks to go – Chemical Peels

Sessions required: 1-6 (e.g. 1 for a freshen-up, 6 for acne control)
Time between Treatments: 1-2 weeks
Recovery Time: up to 24 hours

For those getting serious about skin transformation, chemical peels are a game changer but needs planning. Most often paired with LED advanced light therapy to aid healing, its well worth booking a free consultation to talk about your priorities & map out your action plan to perfection.

 

6 Weeks to go – Injectable Lip Fillers

Sessions required: 2 appointments – includes a follow up review and additional treatments if necessary.
Time between Treatments: 2 weeks – inclusive of 2 week review appointment
Recovery Time: 1 to 2 weeks

Not something to leave until the last minute, if you’re looking for a pain-free pash. Dermal fillers take a couple of weeks to integrate, especially the first time, so we recommend a complimentary review appointment after two weeks to check & re-adjust.

 

5 Weeks to go – Get your make-up look sorted!

Next week is Melbourne Cup, so a must-do opportunity to glam up & test drive your party look. Velvet Co Mineral makeup is 100% vegan & all natural, the foundation has flawless coverage. As Velvet Co is mineral based, the powder & liquid foundation is perfect after care for skin treatments & sold at all Results Laser Clinics, so you can leave the clinic looking ‘selfie ready’!

 

4 Weeks to go – LED Light Facial

Sessions required: 1
Recovery Time: 0

Time to sneak in a little 30 minute mid-week treat & put the party-prep in place for racing carnival lunches or trips to the track. This little beauty secret – a combo of express microdermabraision & LED Advanced light Therapy treatment – will leave you looking fresh & radiant…& everyone else wondering why!

 

3 Weeks to go – Anti-Wrinkle Treatments

Sessions required:

2 appointments – includes a follow up review and additional treatments if necessary.
Recovery Time: Minimal. Go about life as normal!

Refresh and restore your look for those who don’t find their crows-feet endearing. Anti-wrinkle injections take a couple of weeks to integrate completely, especially the first time so allow time before any special event.

 

2 Weeks to go – Stock up on skin care products

A good quality SPF 50+ is a must over the summer and prepare for any slip ups with a good recovery gel for sun burn & gently exfoliant for peeling skin. Results Active Skin Care range is sold in all Results Laser Clinics & available on line.

 

1 Week to go – LED Light Facial & Gifts

Sessions required: 1
Recovery Time: 0

Last minute touch up & another opportunity for a sneaky facial, for that runway ready-look. Oh & pick up some gift cards & gift packs to give all those friends who tell you how great you’re looking – you can share a few tips with them post Christmas!

Here’s a guide to help you get best deals on all these products and treatments:

YAAAASSS – Summer, here we come!

 

Can a facial cure a hangover?

 A new take on facials

The “Micro O²” is a mini-combination of two treatments; Microdermabrasion & Oxygen Facial Therapy. Its a results laser Clinic signature facial & the Oxygen facial therapy is equivalent of infusing cups of water into your face. Sound interesting?

So, we’ve all experienced a hangover of some sort – waking up looking ten years older from lack of sleep, with dehydrated, dull lifeless skin & last night’s excesses & sticky bar floor, clinging to our pores.

While you reflect on your decisions, planning your next sleep & drinking plenty of water to fix how you feel, there maybe a solution that can help how you look.

So how does it work?

After a thorough but relaxing cleanse – which may put you to sleep – it starts with exfoliation: Passing over the face, with a diamond tipped wand, removes the top layer of dead skin, opens & decongests the pores, removing all traces of the ‘night before’ not to mention the day before that!

Then comes soothing regeneration. Oxygen serum & active ingredients are infused directly into your skin to instantly re-hydrate & kick-start the repair process.

What does it do?

In only 20 minutes it achieves a smoother texture & brighter more even skin tone. Your face will look & feel lifted, reducing the appearance of fine lines around the eyes & mouth, creating better definition around your cheeks & jaw.

The best bit

Down-time is zero, you can put make-up on straight after & show up looking a million dollars.

Look & feel great today

You don’t need to feel hungover, the “Micro O²” is the go to facial for models & A-listers who love that dewy fresh-faced look. Book-in & look fabulous for the big events as well as the day after!

Results Laser Clinic has 40 clinics nationwide & are committed to delivering results that make you look & feel your best.

 

 

Summer’s coming, how do we feel about our stretchmarks?

Its official – Skin blemishes are a confidence crusher^**

Stretchmarks can be a contributing factor in post-natal depression, at the very least many plan their wardrobe around covering them up.

Stretchmarks can happen to anyone

Stretchmarks can arrive with pregnancy, weight-gain, growth spurts, illness or steroid use. They can be accompanied by a feeling that appearance has been compromised and blown out of proportion by  ‘cognitive distortion’ which is when the brain over-rides judgment, common sense making it appear worse than it really is!

A problem shared

There are powerful and inspiring #bodypositivemovements, which are helping to reduce the feeling of social isolation for those traumatised by the change in their bodies but there are some who will always find action more empowering than acceptance. That’s where Fractional RF Laser comes in.

Does it work?

Fractional RF Laser has been around since 2004 & is most effective for treatment of stretchmarks. It has been shown to have 50-75% improvement in appearance of stretch marks, after 6-10 treatments^***.Actual results which have been achieved are shared below.

What is Fractional RF Laser?

A grid of micro-needles, penetrate the skin & heat the targeted area with radio frequency (RF) energy. This creates micro-wounds that stimulate the body’s natural healing process, encourage collagen production & regenerate healthy skin tissue. Treatment leaves behind a signature grid pattern of tiny marks which will heal over the next 7-10 days, and fade in around 2 weeks. Fractional RF Laser is often followed by a session of advanced LED light therapy to assist with healing & stimulating collagen production.

How much does it cost?

Treatment costs around $400 for an area approximately the size of an iphone.

Does it hurt?

It’s tolerable but the pain factor is worth it for the results!

Where can I get Fractional RF Laser treatment?

Fractional RF Laser and many others treatments are performed by the highly trained therapists at Results Laser Clinic – Australia’s most trusted provider of laser, skin and Cosmetic Injectable treatments.

Is your skin bringing your selfie game down?

It’s official, acne is one of the most crushing blows to self-esteem. Studies have shown that people suffering from acne are up to 3 times more likely to suffer from depression than any other medical condition*.

Without descending deeper into depression, the fall out from acne is debatably worse – from red & brown ‘macular’ scars, which generally fade with time to boxcar & ice-pick scars which leave pitted, uneven skin.

Good news, if your skin is making you retake more selfies than you are posting, there is a range of effective treatments to improve the appearance of scarring, also used for age lines & uneven skin texture. Clinical Skin Needling is becoming more & more popular for skin resurfacing but why?

 

What is skin needling?

Much spruiked as a rejuvenation & beauty treatments for celebs, Clinical Skin Needling can produce excellent results on acne scarring & age lines alike. Skin needling uses a pen, containing tiny surgical needles on a motorized head, used to lightly puncture the skin, breaking down scar tissue. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing processes including the production of new collagen. The result is a new, smoother skin surface.

The process is often followed with a short session of Advanced LED Light Therapy treatment to sooth & aid the healing process. Actual results that have been achieved with this process are shared below.

 

What is the recovery time?

The treated area is covered with tiny punctures & scratches, which can leave it red. This usually fades within 24-48 hours. Anywhere between 4-6 treatments are usually required.

 

Clinical Skin Needling vs. Fractional RF Laser?

Everyone’s skin is different. Fractional RF Laser is very effective in treatment of pitted scarring & stretchmarks.

Clinical Skin Needling can produce excellent results on acne scarring & has four benefits over Fractional RF Laser.

• It is less painful, especially since numbing cream is applied to the skin prior to treatment.
• Recovery time is shorter & does not leave then trademark Fractional RF “grid stamp”, which takes 7-10 days to heal.
• Its is less expensive, around half the cost for a similar sized area.
• Clinical Skin Needling is also effective on those with darker skins.

 

Where can I get Clinical Skin Needling?

Clinical Skin Needling & many others treatments are performed by the expert therapists at Results Laser Clinic – Australia’s most trusted provider of laser, skin & Clinical Injectables Treatments.

Results Laser Clinic has 40 clinics nationwide & are committed to delivering results that make you look & feel your best. Book a free, no-commitment consultation, with a qualified therapist, to find out more.
