Advanced treatments + Stress:

Why Timing Matters

If you’re stressed, run down, or short on sleep, your body makes more cortisol — the stress hormone. This can trigger histamine release, fire up your nervous system, and make skin extra reactive.

That means a higher chance of redness, itching, or sensitivity during treatment.

In these times, we’ll often use the opportunity for a rebuilding treatment — supporting skin function, oxygenating and detoxifying, and gently rebuilding strength.

When your body is back in balance, your skin will be calmer, stronger, and ready for advanced treatments to really shine. 🤍

✨ No filters. Just real, functional skin — the ISLA way.

Through DMK skin revision at ISLA, we worked to regulate oil flow, calm inflammation, and restore barrier function.

The results - Acne is gone — and more importantly, the skin is functioning the way it should.

Because when we correct dysfunction at the source, the results aren’t temporary — they’re lasting.

🤍 Real skin. Real change.

🍭 Insulin, IGF-1 & Androgens:

A Triple Impact On Skin

High-glycaemic food intake spikes insulin → insulin elevates insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) → IGF-1 accelerates keratinocyte proliferation and increases 5α-reductase activity → more DHT → more sebum.

✨ That’s why we love zinc — in both skincare and supplements like DMK EFAs and Pure Encapsulations Zinc. Zinc helps inhibit 5α-reductase, the enzyme that turns testosterone into DHT — calming oil flow and hormonal inflammation at the source.

In polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS) and other states of insulin resistance, circulating androgens (testosterone, DHEA-S) remain persistently elevated, intensifying sebaceous gland activity.

🤯 Why Stress Makes Acne Worse

Your oil glands aren’t just oil factories — they’re neuroendocrine organs, meaning they respond to brain and hormone signals.

When stressed:
⚡ Neuropeptides & hormones like melanocortins kick in, stimulating oil production.
⚡ ACTH triggers cortisol (your stress hormone), which fuels inflammation.
⚡ Endorphins shift your mood but also impact skin healing.

This is why those busy, stressful months can be a perfect storm for flare-ups.

✨ This is your permission to pause.
✨ To receive.
✨ To feel held.

Skincare isn’t just about what we do.

It’s about how we make you feel.

The Nervous System Connection

It’s always more than just a facial.
It’s the only moment her body truly exhaled all day.

When your nervous system is running on overdrive, your skin often shows it:
• Redness
• Puffiness
• Inflammation
• Slower healing
• A compromised barrier

Skin health is nervous system health. We hold space for both.

When your system is calm, your skin follows 🖤

I created ISLA because I wanted more than just beauty treatments — ISLA is about connection.

A space where skin is understood, not judged.
Where science and care go hand in hand.
Where clients feel seen, heard, and supported — not sold to.

ISLA was never about doing what everyone else was doing. It was about creating something real.
A clinic built on knowledge, honesty, and heart.

Let’s embrace authenticity 🖤

The Science of Healing: 4 Days, LED Only

Last night, I was reflecting with Carter about 2020—when he was hit by a car.

In just four days, using only LED, we saw incredible tissue repair. No topicals, no invasive treatments—just light, used correctly.

When I hear people say, “LED doesn’t work.” Often, they’re using low-quality devices that don’t deliver the right wavelengths or intensity.

Here’s the science behind what actually works:
🔬 Clinically proven wavelengths – Red (633nm) and Near-Infrared (830nm) pe*****te deep to stimulate ATP, boost collagen, and accelerate healing. ⚡ Medical-grade power – Not all LED devices are created equal. Weak, low-output LEDs won’t trigger real cellular change. 🧬 Consistent exposure – It’s not about a one-off session; true results come from proper dosing and repetition.

LED therapy is clinically proven to speed wound healing, reduce inflammation, and improve skin function—but only when using the right device. That’s why we only stock Omnilux, a medical-grade LED system trusted by professionals.

It’s not about “believing” in LED—it’s about understanding the research. Skin has the power to heal when given the right tools. ✨
