Real microneedling results 🤍

Four sessions deep into our course of needling and we are seeing amazing results in skin quality and texture.

The initial goal of treatment was to target long standing acne scars, but looking at our after photos now we have not only improved depth and severity of the pitting scars, but improved the appearance of fine lines and booster overall skin texture.

With microneedling it’s important to remember there are many stages of healing, and that results are not ‘instant’. The skin continues to remodel for weeks and months after initial treatment.

If you’re considering microneedling then you can either book a consultation, or schedule a treatment via the link in my bio 🗓️

Worried about getting tox because of what you may look like in a few years time?

This is an amazing example of using tox to reverse the clock, age in reverse and prevent static lines from worsening.

Ageing like a fine wine 🍷

Consultation is required before any toxin treatment, bookable via link in my bio 🤍

I’ve had my eye on this treatment now for a little while, and after some digging and investigating, I thought how could I not?!

DÉCAAR Algae peels are a biological peel (which you may or may not actually peel from), sourced from natural lake algae. Sounds weird, but actually works miracles 🍃

Unlike other peels which work from the top down, this peel works from the bottom up. Algae stimulates an immune response from the skin, meaning that the skin cell cycle which slows down as we age, is given a boost and significantly speeds up to produce fresh, new and healthy skin cells 🧖‍♀️

Suitable for all Fitzpatrick skin types, DÉCAAR Algae peels alongside a suitable home care routine are great for:

- Acne / blemished skin
- Sun damaged skin
- Hyper-pigmented skin
- Ageing and dehydrated skin
- Rosacea prone skin

A course of 3-6 in generally needed for optimal results, however single treatments can provide a boost to skin health when needed 🤍

Why do we have different brands of toxin on the market?

The first FDA approved botulinum toxin injections for cosmetic use was back in 2002 with the ‘original’ Botox from Allergan. For many years there were two other competitors on the market - Azzalure (approved for cosmetic use in Europe in 2009) and Bocouture from Merz (approved for cosmetic use in Europe in 2010).

It’s a common misconception that patients often think they are receiving a generic ‘Botox’ injection, however more recently I have definitely noticed patients are more interested to know about the brand they are receiving; and the reasons why the injector feels this is a superior product for them.

There has been an influx of new toxin products being approved for cosmetic use in the UK over the past few years, and it’s interesting to know why and how these ‘newer’ toxin preparations are different to the historical three brands.

Although botulinum toxin injections are all derived from the bacterium clostridium botulinum and belong to the subtype of strain A or (occasionally B), the makeup of the injected medication varies. Looking into this in more depth is quite a complicated subject, however to break it down, some products contain more complexing proteins than others, and manufacturing methods vary.

It is said that mixing up your toxin brands can ward of building immunity to toxin, because who wants tox resistance 🥲. True toxin resistance is unusual; but may become more common with the increased usage of cosmetic toxin injections.

Ultimately the injector is best to guide which toxin would be best for the patients wants and needs, but the patient can decide which brand they feel is delivering them the best results!

If you have any questions or are just curious, then always ask during your consultations or treatments 🤍
