Fine lines & wrinkles
As we get older, everything in our body start to slow down including our collagen and elastin production which leads to ageing through fine lines and wrinkles.
Excessive amounts of unprotected sun exposure also aids in the premature ageing of our skin causing more fine lines and wrinkles.
To help improve the appearance of prematurely aging skin, we recommend the following treatments:
- Microdermabrasion: A minimally invasive technique to rejuvenate your skin, using a method which mechanically exfoliates away dead skin cells and immediately removes them, leaving skin looking smoother and fresher.
- LED Light Therapy: (Light Emitting Diode-Blue and Red light) is a non invasive treatment which sends a wavelength of energy into the lower depths of the skin to stimulate new collagen production, elastin and fibroblast. Resulting in a plumper, tighter and smoother appearance. (Also used to treat acne with blue light as it aids in killing P-acne bacteria and is antibacterial/anti inflammatory)
- Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment: using Intense Pulsed Light, skin is encouraged to rejuvenate, resulting in a smoother appearance.
- Peels: Our ASAP non-invasive peels improve the appearance of fine lines and the tone of the skin.
- Facials: We offer specialized facials which can focus on anti-aging helping to improve the appearance of those pesky fine lines and wrinkles.
- Microneedling: This treatment creates micro punctures in the skin, encouraging your skin’s natural healing process and stimulating collagen production.
TOP TIP: Prevention is better than cure when it comes to ageing skin, so always remember to wear SPF30/SPF50 on your face, neck and décolletage every day, even in the winter months because that sneaky sun still sends it’s UVA rays through our clouds hitting our skin.
Acne and spots
Acne and break out is not just a concern for a teenager but for many adults as we go through different stages in life. Hormonal changes are a big stimulator for break outs or acne, but there are all sorts of ways we can treat these concerns.
At Husk, we offer a ‘Gym For The Skin’ mini-peel facial which can be tailored to target Acne. LED blue and red light treatments stimulate wound healing, anti inflammatory responses, boosts collagen production and kills acne bacteria.
Speak to your beauty therapist about your acne prone skin and we can recommend and write you a prescription with the specific products and treatments tailored to you and your concerns.
If Acne scaring is your concern, treatments such as micro needling, microdermabrasion and peels can help.
TOP TIP: Whatever you do, don’t pick that pimple! Squeezing your spots introduces nasty bacteria into the wound and can lead to scarring and P.I.H (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation).
Pigmentation
Darker areas or uneven skin colour are the result of skin pigmentation, and can include freckles, P.I.H (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation), melasma, sun spots and age spots. Pigment is produced in the dermal area of our skin and as we age and our natural cell turnover occurs our underlying pigmentation becomes more obvious in its appearance as it comes closers to the epidermal surface resulting in darker and darker spots, most often caused by exposure to the sun or an imbalance of hormones.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment can be used to target uneven skin pigmentation and leave the skin looking even and clear. Facial Peels and Microdermabrasion can also help. All of these treatments help skin to rejuvenate and stimulate its natural collagen production.
TOP TIP: Once again, sun exposure is definitely not your friend when it comes to uneven skin pigmentation, so be vigilant with that sunscreen and wear a hat when you’re out and about.
Rosacea
Did you know 1 in 10 people are affected by Rosacea? It’s an inflammatory skin condition which causes the skin to appear red and sore and sometimes leaving the skin with acne or under the skin blind pimples. It usually appears on the cheeks and can be triggered by stress and environmental factors. Fairer skin types are more at risk of Rosacea.
Establishing a good skincare routine is key - this can help inhibit your skin’s oil production and reduce inflammation.
TOP TIP: Be aware of the factors that can lead to rosacea flare-ups, such as drinking alcohol and sun exposure.
