Best of Beauty - Autumn 2024

Why do skin therapists love autumn?

As the weather cool downs and our bodies begin to recover from the heat and UV damage of summer, your skin therapist will start to look towards more advanced modalities to address skin concerns such as pigmentation, age spots, uneven skin tone, acne scarring, dull skin, vascular (increased redness) and premature aging.

Autumn is the time when skin therapists love and get excited, because we can really help our clients achieve amazing results with tailored treatments and home care regime.

Advanced treatments, such as peels, skin needling and IPL are best performed when the UV scale is lower so we can protect the skin against solar damage.

What should I expect from a tailored treatment plan for my individual skin concerns?

Your skin therapist will do an extensive skin health check using our Obeserv diagnostic camera to determine which treatments and skin care will give the best result for your skin concerns. We recommend a 90-day commitment with fortnightly in-salon treatments, while using prescribed products at home.

What treatment would you recommend to try as we move into Autumn?

This season we’re really excited about the new Dermalogica treatment that’s been designed to effectively treat hyperpigmentation in just six weeks.

The MelanoPRO treatment is a clinical-strength peel program that delivers visible results. This transformative two-phase regimen works to visibly counteract environmental skin damage – fading dark spots, reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, and smoothing the skin’s texture to reveal fresh, brighter skin. 

It’s been tested on a wide range of skin tones, and is designed to treat:

• Melasma, which is caused by hormonal shifts, often during pregnancy, and is usually seen on the face and stomach.
• Sunspots, from prolonged sun exposure, typically on sun-exposed areas like the face and hands.
• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH), which results from skin injuries or inflammation, with acne being a prevalent cause.

This amazing new treatment requires a full skin health check and consultation to ascertain suitability.
