Party Season Treatments

Ready to say “farewell” to this year and ring in the next? Is your skin? After a long year behind you and a full party season ahead of you, you may be feeling – and looking – a bit tired! Not to worry: the right skin treatments can ensure that you can put your best face forward when it comes to holiday festivities.

Anti-Wrinkle Injectables and Filler

Advanced injectables prove that you do not have to go to surgical extremes to achieve fresh, youthful looking skin. With quick session times, minimal downtime and instant results, our anti-wrinkle and dermal filler injectable solutions will have you looking your best party after party.

During an anti-wrinkle treatment, a purified protein solution is injected into the motor point of the target muscle. This causes it to relax and reduce the depth of wrinkles and lines. Fillers work similarly; hyaluronic acid is injected, helping smooth wrinkles and plump the skin. The results for each type of treatment are immediate and subtle.

Hydrafacial

Hydrafacial

Another option that delivers instant results with minimal downtime, HydraFacial treatments deliver the power of hydradermabrasion, chemical peel and painless impurity extractions while boosting antioxidants, hyaluronic acid and peptide levels.

This process, during which is as soothing and refreshing as it is effective. The fast treatment can increase elasticity, firmness and vibrancy while improving skin tone and texture.

Microneedling

Don’t let the rather intimidating name scare you away from this solution to younger, firmer looking skin. Premier Laser & Skin utilises revolutionary INFINI technology: microneedling creates “micro” holes in the skin and a precise amount of radio frequency is introduced. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in rejuvenated, smooth and firm skin.

INFINI reduces downtime; ask us about the optimal treatment schedule to ensure you are fully ready for your next party.

Spectra Carbon Peel

There is a reason this treatment is known as the “Hollywood Peel.” It targets pigment changes, acne scars, enlarged pores and fine lines, while helping stimulate collagen production. The carbon solution is applied to your face, rather like a mud mask. Then, laser energy is applied to the skin; the heat is absorbed into the skin, providing exceptional exfoliation benefits. A glowing complexion with minimal downtime: the perfect holiday gift to yourself!

If you are not sure which treatment option is right for you, do not hesitate to contact us. Our expert team is happy to help you make this important decision.

The party season is fast upon us; make sure you, and your skin, are ready!

What is Rosacea – And What Do You Do About It?

Rosacea can be a difficult skin condition to live with. Your face flushes as if you have a sunburn that will not go away; you struggle with red bumps, pimples and/or visible blood vessels. Maybe you feel a persistent stinging, burning or itching sensation or your eyelids become swollen and red. Unfortunately, these are all symptoms of Rosacea.

Rosacea is a relapsing skin condition; you will have periods in which your symptoms are mild, and then “flare-ups” in which they become more severe. The first step is to consult with your doctor; they can examine your skin, rule out other conditions (such as lupus) and determine if you do, in fact, have Rosacea. What next?

  • Learn your triggers. What makes your symptoms worse? For example, do you find they flare up after you eat spicy food or spend time in the sunlight? Other triggers can include: stress, rigorous exercise, hot or cold weather, hot drinks, alcohol and caffeine.
  • Take your medications as directed. Your doctor may prescribe topical gels and creams and/or antibiotics to control your symptoms. There is no cure for Rosacea, but you can manage it.
  • Consider IPL Skin Rejuvenation. Intensive Pulse Light is one of the best ways to treat Rosacea-affected skin. IPL is non-invasive and involves a broad wavelength light being pulsed into the skin. At your treatment, a member of our team will apply a cooling gel to your skin and provide you with protective eye-wear. Next the IPL device emits the pulses of light while you relax. The heat generated targets the damaged skin cells.

At Premier Laser & Skin, we understand that Rosacea can be a difficult condition to live with. But you don’t have to suffer alone; we are here to help. Enquire about IPL today.
