SKIN CONCERNS
Anti-aging
Anti-aging is an unusual term as aging in life is inevitable, however we can ensure that we ensure our skin health and appearance is at its best and we don't age prematurely. External factors such as lifestyle factors and the environment can speed up the aging process. It's important to protect our skin at all times. Aging skin isn't just fine lines and wrinkles it is also loss of firmness, loss of elasticity, uneven skin tone, lack of radiance, loss of volume and lack of hydration.
In some form or another all facials at Skin Envy work on addressing the signs of aging.
However, if this is your main concern, I suggest the following treatments:
> Profhilo
> Skin Booster Injections
> meseoestetic peels
> Bespoke Facial
Acne & Breakouts
Breakouts affect almost everyone at some point in their lives. It is important to note that Acne and Breakouts can impact you at any age. A spot occurs when a pore becomes blocked by oil, bacteria, dead skin or dirt. There are different types of spots including blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, nodules and cysts. Having spots is nothing to be ashamed about however at Skin Envy we understand the psychological impact of spots and work closely with you to help you feel more confident in your skin.
If this is your main concern, then the following facials are suggested:
(please note it is important to share any medications or topical creams you've been prescribed by the doctor (if any) as this may impact what treatment you can have)
> Skin Saviour Facial
> meseoestetic chemical peels
Scaring
Acne scaring can sometimes develop as a complication or acne or if you pick and squeeze your spots. Any type of acne spot can lead to scarring but it's more common when the most serious type of spots (nodules and cysts) burst and damage the skin.
I am also trained in treating the body and have experience in treating back scaring, stretch marks and marks left from burns. A stretch mark is a type of scar that develops when our skin stretches or shrinks quickly. The abrupt change causes the collagen and elastin, which support our skin, to rupture. As the skin heals, stretch marks may appear For scaring treatment you need to be patient and consistent with treatments alongside looking after and protecting your skin during your treatment plan. There are surgery and laser options to treat scaring however at Skin Envy we offer medical Microneedling.
If scaring is your main concern the following treatment is recommended: (please note that acne needs to be clear prior to treating scarring).
Medical Microneedling
For body treatments please contact us for consultation first so we can see if you're a suitable candidate.
Pigmentation
Hyperpigmentation is a medical term used to describe darker patches of skin. These patches result from excess melanin production, which can be caused by everything from acne scars and sun damage to hormone fluctuations. Alongside professional treatments it is essential for everyone to wear a broad spectrum SPF (factor 30 + ) everyday.
If hyperpigmentation is a concern of yours the following treatment is recommended:
> meseoestetic chemical peels
Dull Skin
​
Often you may not have a particular skin concern but just feel your skin is looking dull and in need of that SKIN ENVY GLOW which you get from expert products and equipment. Dull skin can be caused by dehydration, lifestyle choices, or cutting corners with your skin care routine but don't worry we can fix that.
All treatments at Skin Envy will address dull skin however the following are recommended if this is your concern:
> Bespoke Facial
Large Pores
​
Pores are the small openings at the top of our hair follicles that cover the entire body. Our pores release sebum, our body’s natural oil, to naturally moisturize our skin to help keep it supple. Although large pores can be frustrating, pores are necessary for maintaining healthy skin. Usually, genetics determine larger pores. However, oily skin, hormones, sun damage and aging can be other factors that make your pores look bigger. While you can’t change the size of your pores, you can minimize the appearance of enlarged pores.
If this is your concern the following treatments are recommended:
> meseoestetic chemical peels
> Microneedling
Rosacea
Rosacea is a long-term skin condition that mainly affects the face. It's more common in women and people with lighter skin, but symptoms can be worse in men. There is currently no cure but treatment can help with symptoms. Rosacea is characterised as redness (blushing) across your nose, cheeks, forehead and chin that comes and goes. It can also cause spots ( so sometimes people can misinterpret it for acne). Your skin will present as hyper-sensitive if you suffer from Rosacea.
> Sensitive Soul Facial
Pregnancy
Congratulations on your pregnancy. Pregnancy is a wonderful miracle however not uncommon for women to suffer with their skin during and after pregnancy. During pregnancy your skin can become more sensitive, experience breakouts and develop melasma (hyperpigmentation). Not to mention the tiredness caused in pregnancy and postpartum can lead to you skipping out on your skin routine and much needed sleep causing dull skin. Therefore at Skin Envy there is a facial for pregnant and nursing mothers that not only relaxes but tackles these common concerns.
