How to take care of your skin to retain a youthful appearance.

How to take care of your skin to retain a youthful appearance.

The ageing process is of course inevitable but there are several steps you can take to slow it down and continue to look your best. There is a whole lot of treatments available, many of which focus on definitive parts of the face and body, so you can focus on the areas that you want to enhance. The great thing about aesthetic treatments is that they enhance your natural beauty; they make you look younger and less tired, without taking away what makes you, you. Injectables. When it comes down to injectables, the focus now is to refresh rather than over inflate, using strategic placement of product to create a natural, well-rested look. There can be no ‘one size fits all’ approach and a holistic, personalised anti-ageing strategy is required to truly have a benefit.   Skincare.   To have maximum benefit when it comes to anti-ageing, we recommend that aesthetic treatments are incorporated into a lifestyle which has both health and well being.When my clients visit me concerned about skin ageing, one of the first things that I discuss in-depth with them is their skin routine and the quality of their skin . There are several things you should be doing to make sure that your skin is well looked after and that ageing is kept at bay.When makeup is removed, the skin is  ready to absorb product. After a long day, your skin desperately wants to rid itself of product and  pore blocking pollution. Sun protection. There is also no such thing as a safe tan. When cells are exposed to UV light, more melanin is produced. This is the pigment that colours your skin, which is why you tan. The production of melanin is a sign that damage has already been done and your skin has been injured by UV exposure.If you like to spend a lot of time in the sun, make sure that you apply sunscreen every two hours and again after returning from the pool. 90% + of skin damage is caused by UV exposure and the best way to avoid this is to apply a good quality broad-spectrum SPF daily.   https://www.nualawoulfe.ie/collections/skinceuticals  Moisturisers. Although moisturisers may appear to provide instant softening and plumping, what most of them are doing is sitting on the surface of the skin acting as a barrier. Instead of providing deep hydration our creams are making our skin lazy, causing it to switch off its natural moisture production. Natural hydration ultimately must come from within the body and cannot in fact be reversed by applying moisturiser on the skin’s surface. What most people really need is a good exfoliator, hyaluronic, retinol, a healthy diet rich in fruit, vegetables and nuts and plenty of water. https://www.nualawoulfe.ie/collections/skinceuticals Smoking & alcohol. Smoking damages your skin, it kills your vitamin C which in turn depletes collagen levels. It also discolours the skin Smoking can speed up the normal aging process of your skin, contributing to wrinkles. These skin changes may occur after only 10 years of smoking. The more cigarettes you smoke and the longer you smoke, the more skin wrinkling you're likely to have. Alcohol dehydrates the skin Alcohol also depletes our body of vitamin A, which plays an important role in keeping our skin firm and youthful. Alcohol can cause premature ageing to our eyes   This, alongside a personalised in clinic treatments can have a positive impact when it comes to helping you  look more youthful for longer. https://www.nualawoulfe.ie/pages/bookings

A new study has shown that people who regularly eat oranges are less likely to develop macular degeneration than people who do not eat oranges.

Latest News – July 08, 2019

A new study has shown that people who regularly eat oranges are less likely to develop macular degeneration than people who do not eat oranges.

A new study has shown that people who regularly eat oranges are less likely to develop macular degeneration than people who do not eat oranges. Researchers at the Westmead Institute for Medical Research interviewed more than 2,000 Australian adults aged over 50 and followed them over a 15-year period.The research showed that people who ate at least one serving of oranges every day had more than a 60% reduced risk of developing late macular degeneration 15 years later. Lead Researcher Associate Professor Bamini Gopinath from the University of Sydney said the data showed that flavonoids in oranges appear to help prevent against the eye disease. "Essentially we found that people who eat at least one serve of orange every day have a reduced risk of developing macular degeneration compared with people who never eat oranges," she said. "Even eating an orange once a week seems to offer significant benefits. "The data shows that flavonoids found in oranges appear to help protect against the disease." Associate Professor Gopinath said that until now most research has focused on the effects of common nutrients such as vitamins C, E and A on the eyes. "Our research is different because we focused on the relationship between flavonoids and macular degeneration. "Flavonoids are powerful antioxidants found in almost all fruits and vegetables, and they have important anti-inflammatory benefits for the immune system. "We examined common foods that contain flavonoids such as tea, apples, red wine and oranges. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5808339/

5 ingredients commonly found in cosmetics and beauty products that we should avoid where possible.

Latest News – July 08, 2019

5 ingredients commonly found in cosmetics and beauty products that we should avoid where possible.

Parabens. Parabens are a common type of preservative that are used in many skincare products to keep them fresh and resistant to the growth of bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms. Although they are natural organic compounds, several studies have linked parabens to breast cancer as well as reproductive and developmental disorders. Even though there has yet to be any conclusive evidence that they are a cause, the studies have been enough to result in a high pressure on cosmetic companies to remove them from their products. Avoid ingredients with the suffix “paraben” and look for “paraben-free” indicated on the product labels. Safer alternatives to parabens are phenoxyethanol, sodium benzoate, benzoic acid and benzyl alcohol. Sodium lauryl sulfate The purpose of SLS is basically to create a suds, enabling liquid products to produce a lather that cuts through oil and residue. This allows smoother application and leaves your skin feeling clean. Because SLS is so versatile, it is used in many other industries as well and can be found in engine degreasers, floor cleaners and car wash detergents. SLS has shown to cause or contribute to skin irritation, ulcers, eye damage, and disrupting the skin’s natural oil balance. It is also widely believed to be a major contributor to acne, especially around the mouth and chin. Hydroquinone Hydroquinone is found in many skincare products that are marketed as skin-lightening agents. The FDA warns that this chemical could be a cause of a skin disease called ochronosis, which creates disfiguring and irreversible black and blue lesions on the skin. However, as it bleaches the skin, it helps with hyperpigmentation, which includes acne scars, age spots, freckles, melasma, and post-inflammatory marks from psoriasis and eczema.Instead, look for natural alternative skin lightening products like plant-based acids such as kojic acid or ellagic acids, antioxidants (vitamins A and C) and niacinamide (vitamin B3).  Oxybenzone Oxybenzone (benzophenone-3 or BP-3) is an organic compound that is useful in stabilising and strengthening the colour and scent of skincare products. Its most common use, however, is in the form of sunblock as it absorbs UV Beta and UV Alpha rays and is easily absorbed into the skin. It is easily absorbed into our bodies, the oxybenzone may accumulate and eventually lead to potentially toxic levels. When searching for a sunscreen, look for safe alternatives like Non-nano zinc oxide or Non-nano titanium dioxide and where possible. Be aware of buying skin care on line from unknown sources as the product may not be legitimate, out of date or questionable ingredients. https://www.ewg.org/sunscreen/report/the-trouble-with-sunscreen-chemicals/

New Treatments at Nu Aesthetics Skin Clinic

TriBella facial rejuvenation treatment TriBella three-in-one total facial treatments combine photofacial, anti-ageing, and skin resurfacing to improve skin tone, elasticity, and texture quickly and effectively.Click here for more information about this treatment. Treating Spider Veins with IPL (intense pulsed light) While it is possible to treat some vascular concerns with an IPL it is predominantly used for very superficial veins that present more like an appearance of facial flushing. IPL is a broad-spectrum light and does not provide the penetration required to reach most vascular concerns. IPL is very good for facial rejuvenation and is also used in the treatment of Rosacea and Acne. What causes thread or red veins to appear? Broken capillaries or dilated capillaries form for a variety of reasons. The epidermis helps to regulate our temperature, when we are hot the veins dilate this releases heat and when we are very cold, they contract to help conserve heat. When this happens rapidly the elasticity of the capillary wall is damaged and a spider vein form.We can also develop Telangiectasia from circulatory problems, damage through squeezing spots, diet and hormonal problems, pregnancy and they can even be hereditary. IPL for hair removal Venus Versa IPL hair removal treatments work with advanced technology that targets and destroys the follicle under the skin's surface.

Venus Versa Photo facial Venus Versa photofacial treatments work to reduce visible signs of premature ageing, such as sun damage, brown spots, visible veins, discolouration, and fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment is powered by Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) with SmartPulse technology that delivers precise light through several layers of skin. This generates heat when absorbed by the targeted tissue, which corrects imperfections in the skin without damaging any of the surrounding tissue. A real-time cooling system works to keep your skin protected throughout treatment. Fade the appearance of discolouration on the skin’s surface for a more even-toned complexion. Click here for more information about this treatment.  Acne Venus Versa acne treatments use Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) with SmartPulse technology to treat both the underlying cause and the visible symptoms of acne. It uses a combination of blue and red light delivered simultaneously-the blue light destroys acne-causing bacteria, while the red-light controls inflammation and promotes faster healing. At the same time, a real-time cooling system works on contact to keep your skin continuously protected from the heat. Intense pulsed light (IPL) aids in eliminating the bacteria that causes acne. Targeting the sebaceous glands also helping to stimulate collagen production, this aids in the healing process while also calming the skin and lessening redness. IPL is also used for skin rejuvenation so during your treatment you are also refining skin pores and improving skin tone. IPL is performed throughout the treatment process and depending on individual results 4 to 12 sessions may be needed. Nano Fractional Radio Frequency Skin resurfacing Venus Versa skin resurfacing treatments work by using tiny pins to safely deliver heat (via Nano Fractional Radio Frequency) through the surface of the skin. This creates very small micro-dermal wounds, which your body naturally heals on its own. The process works to repair signs of skin damage that are visible on the surface, such as scars from acne or injury, deep wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, and pigmentation. Since the wounds are so small, the treatment is much more comfortable than traditional CO2 lasers, while still producing incredibly visible results. Click here for more information about this treatment. Venus Versa Body treatments Body contouring and cellulite reduction Venus Versa body contouring and cellulite reduction treatments work by using energy delivered through a combination of Multi-Polar Radio Frequency and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields to produce heat under the skin’s surface. This process helps to naturally increase collagen and elastin fibers while also shrinking the volume of fat cells. The result is a more sculpted and slimmer-looking body, tighter-looking skin, and cellulite that almost disappears. Click here for more information about this treatment. Skin tightening Venus Versa skin tightening treatments work to tighten, plump, and firm up the appearance of skin. The treatment delivers a combination of Multi-Polar Radio Frequency and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields—Venus Concept’s patented (MP)2 technology—to produce therapeutic heat under the skin’s surface, naturally increasing collagen and elastin fibers for visibly more youthful-looking skin.

Introducing exciting new slimming treatment to Serenity Day Spa in March 2018

Celliss by DMS Wellness http://www.celliss.fr/celliss-aesthetic The Slimming System The Celliss is a mechanical massaging chair that reproduce the palpating-rolling technique on all the treated areas at the same time. This is made possible by a mechanic and non invasive aspiration/percussion technology. The chair is equipped with the latest technologies in order to bring an optimal comfort while preserving the treatment efficiency. The fat cells represent the biggest part of the adipose tissue (15 to 20 kg for a normal sized person, 70 kg). Their number can reach 150 to 200 billions. Each cell can increase its volume x 50 by capturing the fat. The volume and shape of fat cells provokes a visible deformation of the surface of the skin. This compression is an obstacle to the venous and lymphatic circulation (heavy legs, swelling, water retention, cellulite …). The Total Slimming System is the DNA of the Cellumassage.Firstly , the mechanical aspiration breaks down the fat cell clusters, stretching and moving the fatty tissue. This improves the aspect of the skin, clears the pressure of adipocytes on venous and lymphatic circuits and thus restores drainage. Secondly, the mechanical percussion highly compresses the adipocytes while stimulating lipolysis (natural process of fat release) and activating the venous and lymphatic circuit. The Cellumassage technology allows us to treat 5000 cm2 of the body at the same time, whereas other technologies or manual treatments operate only on a small region at a time. There are two essential proteins within the skin: Collagen, which gives resistance to stretching and it’s essential to the healing process, and Elastin, which gives elasticity and flexibility to the skin. It has been shown that this mechanical stretching of cell tissue (fibroblast) stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. The mechanical aspiration stretches the skin inside of the nozzle and the mechanical percussion stretches the skin outside the nozzle. Each treatment is unique - There are four programs on the Celliss: aesthetic, sport, wellness and health. For every programs, the Celliss offers different possibilities. For example, with the aesthetic program, the patient can choose between the « anti-cellulite » and the « thinness » option. It offers personalised treatments to meet each client’s individual need. Furthermore, you can select your treatment zone or deactivate specific areas and you can set the intensity of the treatment (based on your goals and skin tolerance). Each treatment is unique and personalised. Removes fat deposits and improves appearance of skin Clears pressure of adipocytes on venous and lymphatic circuits to improve drainage. Sessions typically last from 15 and 30 minutes. According to the goals and the programs selected during the consultation, the treatments include 10 customised sessions. Treatments are usually taken 2 x per week allowing 2 x days in between each treatment. During the clinical trials on 75 women, more than 90% of those involved were satisfied with the results of their treatment. We are all looking forward to experiencing the benefits of this treatment.
