How to Care for Your Skin in the Winter

There’s plenty to love about winter: the crisp weather, the gorgeous snow-covered trees, the cosy days under a blanket with a hot mug of cocoa. But the long cold months also wreak havoc on the skin. Winter temperature and winds strip away moisture and can leave skin chapped, irritated, tight and itchy. How can you battle the elements and maintain healthy, beautiful skin?

Here are your secret weapons against the ravages of winter?

Hydrafacial: Winter is the ideal time to pamper your skin. The Hydrafacial gently removes dead skin cells and strips away impurities. New skin is treated to essential cleansing and hydrating serums. You’ll see immediate results with minimal downtime. Perfect for the holiday party season.

Vitamin C Peel: Stave off winter illness with vitamin C – but it’s also great for the skin. In fact, when applied topically, vitamin C is 20 times more effective than oral ingestion. Our peel works to improve collagen synthesis, even pigmentation and protect cells from free radical damage. It works deep down, providing rejuvenation you can both see and feel.

DermaReviv Hyaluronic Acid Serum: Hyaluronic acid helps your skin preserve moisture, a must in the hydration-sapping winter. More people are also using HA to counteract the effects of ageing; while research thus far is not conclusive on this, it can’t hurt! And because it helps hydrate, HA can “plump” the skin, boosting its youthful appearance.

DermaQuest SPF: You’re not likely to hit the beach quite as often in winter, but you still need to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Apply an SPF solution before heading out into the elements. Choose an option that has protection combined with moisturising lotion; you get double the benefits in one easy step.

Sit back and sip that cocoa; London Premier Laser & Skin will end your winter skin worries. Contact us now to book your free consultation!

Exciting news! 5 New DermaQuest peels now available!

You now have more options than ever when looking for the perfect DermaQuest peel for your specific needs.  Our new peels are now available in all clinics.  The five new peels are: SkinBrite, Peptide, DermaClear, Stem Cell, and Vitamin C.  Read more about each each of the peels and the concerns they can treat below.

SkinBrite Pigmentation Peel

Skin discolouration is one of the most common complaints for which people seek treatment. The varying differences in skin pigmentation can be a result from sun damage, pregnancy, or age.  The new SkinBrite Pigmentation Peel was created to help ease this problem.  It is based on triggering the skin’s natural renewal process, exfoliating deep into the skin, encouraging damaged skin cells to shed and allowing new brighter, lighter skin to come to the surface.  While skin will show benefits from one session, a course of treatments over the long term is recommended to get the best results.  The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes and recommended downtime is just a few days for optimal recovery.

Peptide Peel

This powerful peptide resurfacer has shown its ability to increase skin’s firmness and provide lift.  It can lift lines and reduce the depth of wrinkles, allowing for a smoother complexion.  The Peptide Peel is designed for advanced wrinkle correction and is serious about providing anti-ageing benefits. It works by promoting collagen production and elastin synthesis, to result in smoother and firmer skin.  Peptides have long been shown to provide anti-ageing benefits and are a very popular “go to” solution for helping skin look more youthful.

DermaClear Acne Peel

DermaClear Acne Peel Before & After

Acne is a fact of life that many teens have to deal with; however, adult acne is becoming more prevalent as well.  Many believe that our highly stressful society has led to the fact that 45 percent of adult women and 30 percent of adult men now suffer from acne.  A DermaClear Acne Peel serves to re-balance the skin’s oils, thereby helping clear blemishes and prevent further acne outbreaks. This particular peel uses the popular Alpha and Beta Hydroxy acids to reduce the bacteria that can cause acne, as well as treat and heal blemishes that do occur.  It is a powerful treatment that through consistent use, can provide fresher, smoother skin with a clearer complexion.

Stem Cell Anti-Ageing Peel

A relaxing and soothing treatment, this glycolic and retinol combination is applied to promote a more youthful appearance.  The Stem Cell Anti-Ageing Peel was created for those who desire a more youthful appearance but don’t want to go through the cosmetic surgery, laser treatments, or anti-ageing injections.  The process begins with a skin cleansing process, application of the concentrated solution, followed by a rinse, and application of a masque composed of enriched enzymes.  This special attention is designed to rejuvenate your skin, resulting in a more youthful complexion.

The C Infusion Peel

If your skin is feeling tired and dry, the C Infusion Peel is the perfect way to wake it up!  Vitamin C is useful for so many purposes that it should come as no surprise that a peel enriched with this popular vitamin could promote a healthier and more vibrant appearance.  Studies suggest that application of Vitamin C directly on the skin, as opposed to taking Vitamin C supplements orally, works 20 times better.  Vitamin C has proven very effective in rejuvenating skin cells through enhancement of collagen synthesis.  It is also a known deterrent to free radical cell damage.  Not only does the C Infusion Peel pay specific attention to the surface of the skin, but it aids also by penetrating the deeper skin levels to remove debris from pores.  The C Infusion Peel stimulates a natural renewal reaction from your skin’s cells and is especially for those with sensitive skin, skin damaged from the environment, dry and/or mature skin, and skin that is rosacea-prone.

Any one of these five peels can aid the return of youthful, glowing, and radiant skin.  When your skin looks great and you feel great! So, book your free skin consultation now to start your journey to clear smooth skin!

How To Get Rid of Rosacea

Rosacea affects 40 million people worldwide and is an inflammatory skin condition which causes bright red outbreaks, pustules and swelling on the face.

The National Rosacea Society found that 90% of people with Rosacea suffer from low self-esteem because of the condition and a further 51% have revealed they’ve missed work because of it. The cause of rosacea is from the blood vessels which dilate too easily but unfortunately there is no known cure for the condition, but thankfully Premier Laser and Skin Clinics have measures to control its signs and symptoms.

This unpleasant skin condition is three times more likely to affect women from ages 30-60 and it’s especially people from the British isles that suffer from it.

At the mildest level Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea sufferers will have sudden and spontaneous outbursts of flushing. Then there’s Papulopustular type which is a moderate level of rosacea that has acne-like pustules and persistent skin redness. And in worst cases Phymatus rosacea includes all these symptoms as well as skin thickening and enlarging the nose area.

There are certain environmental factors that trigger rosacea like cold winds, severe heat and sunburn, and sudden changes in temperature such as switching from a hot shower to a cold room. Additionally, lifestyle factors exacerbate the condition such as high levels of stress, exercise, excessive alcohol and spicy foods.

Clearly staying away from these causes will help reduce outbursts but often extra measures are needed to reduce inflammation and for that we have some beauty treatments that can help.

Our IPL Photorejuvenation (Intensive Pulse Light) treatment is highly effective at reducing the tiny blood vessels and acne-like pimples on damaged skin. The treatment starts from £150 a session and only takes 30 minutes. Most clients see a reduction after the first treatment and clearance after a set of five sessions.

Another treatment is our Vitamin C Peel which is very effective for soothing rosacea prone skin. The multi vitamin enriched peel penetrates deep into the cellular levels of the skin and encourages the healing of inflammation by soothing and hydrating the skin. The Vitamin C Peel starts from £90 a session and instant improvements can be seen.

Peels For Younger-Looking Healthier Skin

Check out our most refreshing peels below to see how they can transform your skin.

Anti- Ageing Peel

Despite how well we try to take care of ourselves, ageing is inevitable. Luckily, with the Anti-Ageing Peel you don’t have to resign your face to a map of fine lines and wrinkles. With its glycolic and retinol ingredients, the peel is designed to boost your collagen production and cell renewal to achieve firmer and younger looking skin. The peel combats fine lines and wrinkles while lightening sun spots and hydrating the skin. The treatment takes less than an hour and has immediate results that can be seen from just one session. There is no downtime, so you can continue your day as you normally would.

Vitamin C Peel

You don’t have to always remember to take your Multi Vitamin supplements when you’ve had the Vitamin C Peel. It has been proven that applying Vitamin C to the skin is twenty times more effective then consuming orally. The gentle peel is suitable for all skin types including for sensitive and rosacea prone skin. The peel gently removes dead skin cells from the outer layers of your skin and then penetrates to the deeper skin layers and encourages your skin to renew itself. Anti-oxidants including Vitamins A, C and E are all infused in the peel to guarantee a brightened complexion. Again, this is a quick skin treatment and only takes 45 minutes.

Herbal Green Peel

Many of us enjoy a brew of herbal green tea after a stressful day at work. But did you know you could get the same amount of anti-oxidants from the Herbal Green Peel. Enriched with pure natural ingredients from plant vitamins and minerals, the peel calmly removes the surface layers of the skin and increases blood circulation for cell and collagen renewal. It has a 5 day multi-step process where the patient has the in-clinic treatment followed by prescribed home care treatment and a follow up clinic treatment. Ideal for anyone suffering from acne, blackheads and skin pigmentation issues. The treatment renews and resurfaces the skin while eliminating flaws and promoting cell tissue renewal.

The Anti-Ageing and Vitamin C Peels start from as little as £90 and the classic Herbal Green Peel starts from £300.

The truth about skin peels

When you think of the term ‘skin peel’, you probably imagine the application of harsh, damaging chemicals, resulting in the skin physically peeling off. And in some cases you would be right.

Some types of skin peels are incredibly invasive, using painful acids to strip back the skin and promote collagen growth. A deep or medium peel may require anaesthesia before application, and will be conducted in a surgical setting. A deep chemical peel has a recovery period of 2 – 3 weeks, during which time the treated area will be heavily bandaged and painful. Certainly, having a chemical peel is not something to be entered into lightly.

Summer Skincare: Top tips for in flight skin care

Summer is here and it is holiday time at last. As much as some well-earned R&R can do wonders for your energy levels, travelling long distances and being out in the sun can also be tough on your skin.

Long flights can be particularly damaging to the skin, as you’ll be spending hours in a high pressured, air conditioned environment. The air in the cabin can cause drying of the skin, leaving it flaky and dehydrated when you arrive. Added to this, jetlag and the stresses of travelling can cause disruption of your cortisol levels, leaving your skin blotchy, spotty and generally unpleasant.
