Microcurrent facials are a fabulous one-time service with the greatest improvement seen with a series of facial treatments.  A typical series is 4-8 treatments taken over a 4-8 week period and monthly maintenance scheduled thereafter to achieve sustained incredible results for skin that’s firm, contoured and hydrated!!! Before considering a Microcurrent Facial it’s essential to check first that you’re not contra-indicated to treatment.

Microcurrent is not suitable if any of the following conditions are present;

• Pacemaker or other implanted electronic devices
• Cancer
• Open wounds, sores, lesions, or irritated, damaged, infected skin
• Pregnancy or nursing
• Any contagious or transmittable diseases
• Hemophilia or other bleeding disorders
• Taking blood disorder medications
• Currently taking drugs with the ingredient isotretinoin
• Consult your GP before treatment if there are any health or medical concerns

Did you know that enhanced results for clearer, glowing, rejuvenated skin requires not just any technology but actually award-winning advanced skin technologies clinically trialled and tested and FDA-approved to be safe and effective at achieving incredible facial results in skin that is firmer, contoured and hydrated!!!

For this reason, Beauty Vibes, Finchley chose to invest in USA manufacturers ‘Bio Therapeutics’, the pioneers in skincare technology and innovation since 1974.

Having initially trained with BT skin technology in age management facials with Dermalogica and additionally more recently at Bio Therapeutics London-based academy I’m very excited to be able to offer you a complete range of gold standard non-invasive skin technology systems with my Facial Treatment services that effectively work with Dermalogica potent formulas to achieve desirable anti-ageing enhanced skin results.

Some BT skin technology facial treatments were already added to Beauty Vibes Tier 3 Advanced Facial treatment menu toward the end of last year with the introduction of Nanoneedling and Microneedling Facial Treatments which are performed using the MD Titan technology which is a pen style device and sterile cartridge unit that safely impacts the skin to deliver controlled mechanical exfoliation and stimulation of collagen and elastin that results in visibly retexturized, firmer skin.

This year I’ve added to the treatment menu Microcurrent Facial Treatments for incredible facial sculpting results and in general skin that’s firmer, more contoured and hydrated!!!  No matter the concern be it signs of sagging skin or problematic breakout skin, or dry, sensitive skin issues or a combination of each, I have a suitable microcurrent programme to treat and address the majority of skin concerns.

Microcurrent mirrors the body’s natural electrical current and when used during treatment feels comfortable and painless.  A Dermalogica Microcurrent Facial Treatment effectively re-energises dormant skin cells triggering general cellular activity required for collagen stimulation. When collagen is stimulated it brings new skin cells rich in moisture to the surface.  This means improved skin barrier protection which helps a compromised skin barrier layer to lock in moisture as well as provide a sustained hydrated healthier skin function.

Microcurrent Facials are a great one-time service however, if you’re generally concerned about lax skin tone only, consider a series of Microcurrent facial treatments or a combination course of facial treatments involving Microcurrent, Nanoneedling, Microneedling and Skin Peels.

Treatments like these are considered to be the most natural and holistic approach to nourishing and firming your skin from within for long-term healthy, toned benefits.

As every skin cycle takes 4 – 6 weeks that’s the time frame recommended to return for professional facial treatments for continued optimum skin health maintenance.  *I offer a FREE Skin Consultation with Skin Analysis to discuss your skin concerns identified and can recommend your products or professional treatments or both that can treat and manage skin concerns.  Depending on individual skin goals *bespoke skin care plans are customised according to your needs. If you would like to improve the condition of your skin then why not get in touch. I would LOVE to be of service to you and work with you towards your skin goals🤍

Provides skin healing benefits – Restores, Revitalises, Rejuvenates

LED Light Therapy is usually applied at the end of the facial treatment as a resting phase of the facial providing enhanced skin benefits.

LED works by emitting different coloured infrared lights at different wavelengths which penetrate the skin at different depths and prove beneficial to treat different skin issues such as acne causing bacteria, sagging skin, fine lines & wrinkles, pigmentation etc.

Depending on your skin condition LED Light Therapy provide varying healing benefits as follows;

Red LED Light  – Rejuvenates premature & ageing skin

Boosts cell activity, collagen and elasticity production, improves blood circulation providing overall enhanced results for firmer more dewy, radiant skin results

Blue LED Light  -Anti Bacterial

Neutralises acne causing bacteria and inflammation provides overall enhanced results for clearer skin

Purple LED Light – Skin Rejuvenation for acne scarring

Improves PIH (Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation i.e.-Acne pitting marks)

Confused about advanced technology and system formulas used in beauty treatment rooms lately?? The following Q&A has been put together to help clarify why stepping up to advanced technology can really help to enhance skin results from your facial treatment..

How does Ultrasound work to improve skin?

Ultrasound works by emitting sound waves into skin which create cavities in the cellular layers thus allowing the small molecule peptide nutrients rich formulas to be pushed deeper into the skin for improved absorption.  This process has a skin re-energising effect on skin and triggers new collagen and elastin formation and improved blood circulation has beneficial anti inflammatory effects on the skin for improved texture and tone.

What is Radio Frequency?

Radio Frequency energy is used to repair skin tissue and tighten skin and treat skin ageing concerns such as sagging loose skin, fine lines and wrinkles.  RF energy feeds deep into the sub dermal layer of the skin, generating heat that cause collagen fibres to contract and in effect stimulates production of new collagen and elastin and tightens skin.  *Great for anti ageing however not recommended for red sensitive skin types, diabetic, rosacea, dilated capillaries as the heat generated in the skin from RF may trigger further inflammation.

What does Iontophoresis mean?

Iontophoresis produces an electrical current and when used in conjunction with IonActive serums stimulates facial muscle tissue to lift and tone skin and also make skin cells more permeable to better receive ionized active nutrients being pushed into the skin as far as possible. The IonActive serums selected in treatment treat specific skin concerns such as oily, breakout and acne skin problems, pigmentation, dehydration and crepid skin conditions. *Iontophoresis is NOT suitable for anyone with metal implants, or pacemakers or similar devices.

How does LED Light Therapy benefit skin?

LED Light Therapy emits different coloured infrared lights at different wavelengths which penetrate the skin at different depths and prove beneficial to treat different skin issues such as acne causing bacteria, sagging skin, wrinkles, pigmentation etc.  The most popular use are the Red & Blue.  Blue has a sterilisation effect on the skin beneficial for acne/breakout skin types and the Red LED provides anti ageing benefits for collagen stimulation and general skin revitalising and skin regeneration. *For more detailed information about skin benefits from various coloured LED Light Therapy click on the link here

 Note

* A bespoke treatment plan and recommended products to use at home will guarantee the best possible results and maintenance!!

With an expected arrival to our treatment room in February the question is.. How ready is your skin to receive potential optimum skin benefits from an advanced exfoliation process i.e. a pro power chemical peel treatment?

To learn more about chemical peels and how to best condition your skin for a pro power peel treatment click the link here

Dermalogica – Pro Power Peel

“The peel experience, redfined” – put simply this means that the all new advanced peel formulas featuring Salicylic, Lactic and Glycolic Acids can now be customised to target and treat individual skin concerns such as fine lines, pigmentation acne, or advanced signs of ageing.

The Pro Power highly active acid Peel complex works fast to speed up the skin cell renewal process that leads to brighter, smoother more radiant looking skin.

Before considering a pro power peel it is best to first consider the condition of your skin and how well it is currently acclimatised to receive an advanced exfoliating treatment, as this can greatly affect results achieved!

Perhaps a greater understanding of the peel process is necessary and if this is something you are considering the below information is a must read..

What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel is an advanced skin cell exfoliation process formulated to break up inter cellular glue bonds that bond old dead skin cells together causing a speedy skin cell exfoliating process whilst accelerating the skin cell renewal process to reveal fresher, plumped, more hydrated radiant, youthful looking skin.

Some peels are classed as medical grade peels as they penetrate beyond the basal layer of the skin to reach the upper layers of the dermis or in some cases even the reticular dermis.  These peels treat severe cases of photoaging, deep wrinkles and scars and can only be performed by medical practitioners.

Dermalogicas Pro Power Peel is classed as a superficial peel as it works on the outer layer of the skin (epidermis – stratum corneum) and penetrates down to the basal layer of the skin (stratum germinativum) to treat skin concerns for acne, pigmentation and aging.

Why is a superficial chemical peel beneficial?

As we age the skin cell turnover process slows down dramatically from every 20 days in our 20’s to every 30-40 days by middle age.  The peel process is designed to speed up cell renewal and cell turnover to improve skin texture and appearance to reveal brighter, clearer, younger looking skin.  They are in essence an effective way to treat skin concerns such as pigmentation, advanced signs of ageing, acne and breakouts.

Who is it for?

Everyone can benefit from a pro power skin peel and the healthier the skin the less prone it is to experience an adverse reaction to a peel.  However thinner, sensitised, dehydrated skin types may be more sensitive to a peel as the peel can penetrate faster which can intensify tingling, stinging sensations.  It is therefore recommended that the skin has become acclimatised to a less concentrated formula from both a physical and chemical exfoliating process prior a pro power chemical peel treatment.

Skin Acclimatation

Prior to a Dermalogica Pro Power Chemical Peel treatment, a 24 hour patch test and skin analysis is required and to ensure suitability for treatment a consultation check list is also completed to rule out any possible contra indications to having a peel treatment.

From skin analysis, a preliminary facial treatment (eg. ProSkin30 or ProSkin60)  may be advised to better “prime” the skin, helping to prepare it for the high exfoliating activity of a chemical peel particularly if skin is new to peels or indeed even a professional facial treatment itself.   Either a 30 min or 60 min deep cleanse facial to remove excess sebum and blackheads for oily skin types or an exfoliating treatment to help slough away loose surface dead skin cells followed by a moisturising replenish deep treatment for drier, dehydrated or mature skin types would be recommended.

*In a nutshell the better the condition of the skin and it’s hydration levels the better it will receive the efficacy of the chemical peel and deliver for you faster desired results i.e  clearer, radiant skin

What is meant by an Adverse Reaction?

If the skin has not been suitably acclimatised an adverse reaction can occur either during or after the peel treatment.

During treatment severe tingling may be experienced which is too uncomfortable for the peel process to continue.  In this case the peel will be terminated and the skin will be neutralised returning it back to its normal PH balance.

After the peel process excess peeling maybe experienced.  This may happen if there is a lot of surface dead skin cells present prior to the peel or if the skin has diminished hydration levels .

*The best way to prevent an adverse reaction is to better prime the skin condition and improve its hydration level, both pre and post treatment.

PreCare advise is given pre treatment following skin analysis and a patch test. Professional treatment facial maybe advised as well as a professional at home skin care routine to help prepare skin acclimatise for the peel by exfoliating the skin and boosting skin hydration levels.

Post Care advise is given post peel treatment and a complimentary take home – Pro Power Peel Post Procedure Kit,  is prescribed to ensure correct skin maintenance to manage moisturise levels post treatment.

How does a peel work??

The peel formula is highly active and concentrated to take the PH of the skin from its normal mildly acidic 4.5-5.5 PH Balance down to 1.0-2.5.  At this more acidic level the exfoliating agents (Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acids +) in the peel cause a superficial shock to the cells causing old skin cells to be easily shed (Desquamation) whilst simultaneously stimulating skin cell renewal.

The peel is also designed to be customised as there are different peel formulas designed to treat different skin concerns such as acne, pigmentation or ageing. For skin experiencing some or all 3 skin concerns they can be customised to target treat or wholly treat areas according to skin concerns.  This makes the peel very bespoke to individual skin concerns.

The peel is fast acting and depending on the skin tolerance 1-3 layers can be applied before commencing the de celerating skin neutralising process.

How long does the peel treatment take?

The peel treatment itself takes only 30 minutes however you can upgrade to a 60 minute peel treatment which will include a relaxing moisturising deep treatment to deeply nourish and replenish moisture levels in the skin.

What should my skin experience post peel?

Depending on the skins acclimatised condition pre treatment it may or may not experience the below side effects;

Day 1 – stinging, irritation, redness, swelling, dryness, tightness, peeling and scabbing

Day 2 – skin may peel or look darker

Day 3 – peeling may begin around the nose and mouth, followed by cheeks, forehead, jawline and neck

*The Pro Power Peel Post Procedure Kit prescribed should be used for 2-3 days post treatment and provided to help manage any of the above mentioned post treatment conditions by increasing hydration levels until the skin no longer experiences extreme dryness or sensitivity

How often can I have a Pro Power Peel?

For normal maintenance every 4 weeks apart

For skin concerns every 2-4 weeks apart
