Non-surgical ‘age-management’ solutions

How do we maintain beautiful healthy skin?
Eating a healthy diet, drinking lots of water, regular exercise and a balanced lifestyle all help but the inevitable effects of time combined with other factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and stress all eventually take their toll.

Natural collagen eventually breaks down and skin gets less elastic in the healthiest of bodies. Everybody gets lines and wrinkles at some point in their lives.

But there are solutions …..

Bodyenrich – Facial Rejuvination offers an extensive range of non-surgical ‘age-management’ treatments to erase the signs of aging without surgery.  From Wrinkle Relaxing Injections to Dermal Fillers and Skin Peels your local Aesthetic Nurses are there to advise and administer the best and most appropriate treatment for you and your skin.

DO YOU HAVE –

WRINKLES, CROWS FEET, WORRY LINES?



Wrinkle Relaxing Injections (aka Botox)
When it comes to investing in your appearance Wrinkle Relaxing Injections (Botulinum Toxins) are an excellent choice - it is one of the most popular and exciting cosmetic treatments available today!

A Quick, Simple and Safe Treatment
Wrinkle Relaxing Injections are very successful in treating areas such as forehead lines, creases between the eyebrows and crow's feet. Wrinkle Relaxing Injections work by relaxing specific muscles, softening your expression lines leaving your skin smooth and your facial expression unaffected. Headache and migraine symptoms may also be reduced and a further advantage is that the eye area will get a natural lift.

How Does It Work?
A muscle relaxant is injected, using a very fine needle for minimal discomfort, directly into the wrinkles, temporarily relaxing the facial muscles and preventing the formation of wrinkles whilst softening existing lines. This treatment has been used on literally millions of patients worldwide for more than 15 years.

How Long will It Last?
The treatment generally takes 5 - 10 days to take effect and typically lasts between 3 - 5 months (this varies from patient to patient depending on your strength of expression) with repeated treatments as advised by our Nurses, the effects tend to last longer over time


FACIAL FURROWS, SAGGING SKIN AND LOSS OF VOLUME, THIN LIPS?

Dermal Fillers

Skin starts to sag and wrinkle with age as underlying fat and collagen diminishes.  When we loose our youthful bloom Dermal fillers are used to add volume by plumping up the skin, increasing elasticity and smoothing out lines and wrinkles. 

Restoring a smoother more youthful-looking appearance Dermal fillers plump up and smooth away troublesome nose to mouth grooves, forehead lines, frown furrows, lipstick lines, crows feet and lines on the cheeks They can also be used to add fullness to the lips and cheeks and add volume to sunken areas of the face and, reshape the chin or nose tip.

Youthful skin is rich in hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance that binds water , hydrates the skin and promotes all important softness and fullness. As we age the HA gradually becomes less efficient.  Inevitably, this leads to loss of facial fullness and the tell tale signs of age.

Restylane is considered by many as the ‘Gold Standard’ of Fillers.  It is an injectable treatment that contains hyaluron gel.  It is specifically formulated to delay the signs of ageing and refresh looks in a natural and subtle way. When injected into the skin, Restylane effectively gives our own HA a helping hand, instantly boosting the skin’s hydration system to restore volume and lift the skin to smooth away and soften the appearance of facial lines. It also stimulates collagen production and improves elasticity resulting in revitalised appearance.

How long will treatment last?
Dermal fillers give an instant result and will typically last from between 6 to 12 months.  The length of time is specific to each individual and area of treatment. Restylane is non-permanent and absorbed naturally over time – leaving you in control of how you look.


DULL TIRED, AGED LOOKING SKIN – HYPER-PIGMENTATION, ACNE, AGE SPOTS?

Skin Peels – SKIN BRIGHTENING & REJUVINATION

Chemical skin peels are chemical solutions used to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin. Skin peels are used to treat various medical and aesthetic skin conditions.

These conditions include fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, acne, mild acne scarring, hyper-pigmentation and many other skin abnormalities. They achieve this primarily by speeding up the skins natural cell renewal and by removing its damaged outer layers.

Peels are classified as light, medium or deep depending on the depth to which the skin is treated.

Easy Phytic Peel
To give your skin a new glow. Suitable for all skin ages and types.

This is a slow-release superficial peel designed for those who don’t want visible flaking and want to give skin a natural glow. Easy Phytic evens out the complexion and has a marked skin brightening effect. During the procedure a slight tingling is felt. There is no visible skin peeling with this peel. Ideal as a one-off treatment before a special occasion.

Glycolic Acid Peel
To treat active acne conditions especially roseacea and mild sun damage. More effective in skin under 30.

This is a light to medium peel which allows the depth of the peel to build up over time. Skin must be pre-treated for 2 weeks prior to the peel with a skin smoothing cream. A slight tingling is felt until the face is sprayed with neutraliser. There is no visible peeling with this peel. A course of six peels is recommended to achieve optimum results.

Easy TCA Peel
To treat fine lines, discolouration (melasma), sun damage and mild acne scarring. Suitable for over 30’s skin. This is a highly effective medium peel that is well tolerated by the skin.

It is applied in four weekly sessions. There is no downtime with the exception of a light peeling (like sunburn) and you can carry on with your activities as normal. During the procedure a strong tingling is felt for a couple of minutes until the post-peel cream is applied. The first two days after the peel, your skin feels a little tight and by the 3rd and 4th day it will have started to flake more noticeably. This peel is ideal in treating older, tired and dull skin with fine lines and sun damage.

Only Touch
A local and deep peel for small specific areas.

This is a deep peel used to treat age and sun spots on the face, body and hands. The marks must be no larger than 1cm in diameter and One Touch should always be followed with an Easy TCA Peel to even out the results.

All peels must be carried out by an experienced practitioner. An effective peel is not a “super exfoliation” that can be done at home. All peels must be used in conjunction with the recommended Skin Tech and Neostrata skincare regimes for optimum results.

Getting under the Skin - Anatomy

Our skin is composed of 3 layers -

  • The epidermis is the outer layer of the skin. It sheds every 2-4 weeks when its healthy
  • The dermis is the middle layer and is made up of collagen fibres that provide structure and support as well as elastic fibres.
  • The deepest layer is subcutaneous tissue composed of fat and connective tissue with larger blood vessels.

Sun damage and environmental toxins, such as smoking, damage your skin and accelerate normal skin aging.  The more sun exposure you have, the worse the microscopic changes to the skin.  The best treatment to prevent aging of the skin itself is avoiding the things that cause damage in the first place.  But it’s never too late to prevent further damage, so if you’re still smoking quit, and if you go out in the sun, protect your skin.  Infact, SPF’s should be worn year round for optimal protection against further aging.

The hallmark of aging skin is a degenerative process in which collagen in the dermal layer is replaced by a thick tangled layer of elastic fibres. As skin ages it gradually loses its dermal supporting layer and its ability to stretch and recoil.  Normal cell renewal cycle slows down leading to increased pigmentation, wrinkles, and rough spots.

Most over-the-counter cosmetics available on the High St contain very low levels of the active ingredients that are known to work.  Such products cover up age-related changes in the skin while providing very little, if any, correction.  Our skin care treatments not only make your skin feel and look better but they can also reverse some of the sun-related changes in your skin.  Cosmeceutical creams generally have higher percentages or levels of the ‘active’ ingredient.  They can actually help to make the surface of the skin look younger to the eye under the microscope.

Cosmeceutical Skin Care Creams
It’s never too late to take care of your skin.  We have carefully selected treatments to enhance your non-surgical treatments.  If you’re going to invest in your face, an accompanying skin care program makes a lot of sense and can definitely further improve or help you maintain your results for a longer period of time.

The skin peels and creams used by Bodyenrich are from the Skin Tech and Neostrata Laboratories – organisations that have excellent reputations in over fifty countries.


Skin Tech

Skin Tech has 30 years of clinical experience in ‘Advanced Skin Technologies’.  Collaborating with Aesthetic Doctors, plastic surgeons and dermatologists worldwide has enabled their products to be ‘highly effective, reliable and easy to use’ 

When we pass the age of 40, the skin cells regenerate themselves less rapidly creating the line, wrinkles and marks appear progressively.

These symptoms of ageing can be largely alleviated by the regular application of care creams specially conceived to delay the effect of time or by appropriate medications or treatments (peelings & fillers for example).

To prevent all skins problems and noticeably put a brake on the effect of time, it is therefore necessary to care for the skin daily by purifying it, moisturising it, nourishing it and protecting it.

Skin Tech provide a full range of creams for all sorts of conditions – please ask for more details.

Neo Strata
NeoStrata, the originators of AHA’s, develop products that improve the visible signs of aging or sun-damaged skin and treat various dermatological conditions including acne, dry skin hyper pigmentation, sun spots.

AHA’s work by breaking the bond between epidermal cells. After the bond is broken, the superficial layer is sloughed off and the cells below this are forced to the surface for replacement.  Glycolic acid encourages a quicker turnover of cells, causing irregular pigmentation to clear quicker.

NeoStrata products contain various concentrations of AHA and PHA ingredients as well as sunscreens (SPF), lightening or anti-acne agents so that the appropriate therapy can be matched to any skin type or condition. The AHAs and PHAs with antioxidant properties provide the dual functions of both repairing past damage and preventing future damage to the skin.
