Best winter skin treatments

Sunshine leaves us earlier…
Roads get frosty early in the morning…
And now you can see your breath outside….

Say hello to winter.

During the colder months, our bodies go through many changes to adapt to the weather and to help us survive this season easier. Our metabolism works faster to keep us warm. Less water is stored in our bodies as there is less heating on the body less sweating. Also, we loose some of the natural moisture we have on our skin due to the cold and dry weather.

Winter skincare, by nature, should be different than your summer skincare. As the needs of your skin will change, the routines should chance too. And what about the clinical level of your skincare?

We’ve listed you the best 3 most popular skin treatments for the winter.

Dermapen Microneedling for winter

Dermapen Microneedling is an amazing treatment to help you to get rid of your skin imperfections. It creates controlled wounds on your skin and promotes its own healing process. Because the wounds on your skin are not actual wounds, your skin overcorrects the area and you end up erasing the last few year’s effects from your skin.

One of the most important parts during your dermapen treatment is after you had the treatment you need to stay away from the sun exposure for 1-2 weeks. During this time your skin healing process will be working actively and if you would get any suntan during this time, it may cause unwanted pigmentation and skin marks.

Dermapen microneedling treatment is performed in different settings. If it is your first time having the treatment, your practitioner will use the lower settings. This means the tiny needles will penetrate your skin 0.5-1mm. If you are having dermapen microneedling treatment regularly, then your practitioner can increase the level up to 2-2.5. The severity of your treatment will also be depending on your skin type and condition. If your skin thin and your skin condition is not too severe, your practitioner will prefer lower settings. The higher settings you get your treatment will give you bigger skin shedding after. If you are having a high setting treatment, sunshine will have more effect on your skin. So if you are suffering from some serious acne, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles or pigmentation; winter is the best time to have your course of dermapen treatment.

Dermapen microneedling is one of our invasive skin treatments as, during your treatment, tiny needles will punctuate your skin to create micro-tears. Because of this, after your treatment, you can feel hot, tingling and a mild burning sensation on your skin. Most of our clients prefer having their dermapen microneedling treatments during the winter times as the colder weather is making the time after the process easier.

 

Hydrafacial for winter

Hydrafacial is one of our most popular treatments. It is non-invasive. Cleans and clears your skin, hydrates and gives you the immediate red carpet glow right after your treatment.
As we’ve mentioned during the winter times, your skin doesn’t store as much water as summer times. This way your body spends less energy to warm you up, as there isn’t an antra litre of water stored that it needs to heat up. Also, as cold air is less humid, your skin gets dried from outside as well as inside.
Hdyrafacial treatment provides your skin with the hydration it needs. Even though you change your skincare during the winter and you start using more oil-based moisturisers for a stronger effect, no skincare cream can reach the benefit of Hydrafacial.
With the winter season, we also experience higher pollution in the air. This pollution gathers on your skin and fills up your pores. This can then cause acne, blackheads or other skincare problems. With its cleaning and extracting formula, Hydrafacial will help you to get rid of the effects of winter pollution.
Winter times are also when we experience the most undereye puffiness. As days are shorter, we do use more artificial lights and it tires our eyes. This is one of the reasons for black under eyes or undereye puffiness. With the lymphatic drainage, which is the first step of Hydrafacial treatments, you can get rid of your undereye puffiness and can have a more refreshed look.

 

Skin peels for winter

We all have different skin needs but one thing is for sure, during the winter we need to take better care of our skin to make sure it doesn’t dry up. Otherwise, it can get patchy in a short time. And can get more fine lines and wrinkles in the long term.
At Premier Laser & Skin we offer many skin peels that would be suitable for your skin and it will provide what your unique skin type and condition would require.
With the correct skin peel to your skin type and condition, you can get rid of your acne problems, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, increase hydration, and give your skin its regular care.
If you don’t know which skin peel is the most suitable for you, you can speak to our skin experts. Our highly experienced practitioners offer free skin consultation to understand your skin type and complaints. They will offer you the correct bespoke skin peel for your unique results, and help you to achieve your skin goals.

Why winter is the best time to start your laser hair removal treatment

Are you fed up with the wax pain every month? Or are you complaining about shaving because it after 2 days your hair starts to grow and leave you with a prickly feeling on your skin? Then laser hair removal is the right thing for you!
Laser hair removal is an amazing long term hair reduction method that helps you to get rid of your unwanted hair. Thank s to the latest technology cooling system, it is not painful like waxing. And because it actually gets rid of the hair follicles, it leaves your skin silky smooth; unlike shaving.
And we are sure that you will be happy to hear that winter is the best time to start your laser hair removal journey. Why? Here are the main reasons why you should start your laser hair removal treatments now.

There is less sun exposure

Laser hair removal 101. The laser cannot be performed on tanned skin.
You will love the sun once your laser treatment finishes and you will be able to go to the beach without any preparation. But until then, you need to stay away from the sun!
Before starting your laser hair removal treatments, you need to make sure that the area is not been exposed to sun and there is no tanning. Also after your laser treatment, you need to wait 2-4 weeks before you can suntan. Otherwise, your skin can get damaged and some pigmentation can occur. Also, we recommend having your laser sessions every 4-6 weeks. If you get suntan after your laser session, you won’t be able to get your skin ready before your next laser appointment.
You can probably see why starting your laser sessions in winter is beneficial. Your skin has already been away from the sun and ready for permanent hair reduction. And you can make sure you won’t get any tan between your sessions as especially London in the winter doesn’t really match with beach requirements.

No excessive sweating during the winter

Laser by its nature heats the hair follicles and gets rid of them. We do use the latest technology cooling to make sure you are as comfortable as possible during your treatment. But the laser beams still heat the hair follicle. This may cause the skin around the hair follicles to get more heat-sensitive for 24-48 hours.
We recommend you to prevent excessive sweating and getting exposed to heat right after your laser session. However, during the summer time, it is not as easy to do so.
Wintertime, on the other hand, is perfect for you to stay cool after your laser hair removal treatment with our experts. As long as you don’t take very hot showers or use the sauna or steam room, nature’s cooling will help you to be more comfortable after your session.

You don’t need to shave or wax during winter as you will be more covered up

Laser hair removal works on hair follicles. If it’s applied on your actual hair, it will burn the hair and can cause pigmentation.
To prevent this, we kindly ask you to shave the treatment area 24 hours before your laser treatment. But until then, you need to let your hair be free!
It takes 4-6 weeks for a hair follicle to complete its cycles and come to the correct stage for the laser to be effective on. If you wax during this time, you will change the whole cycle period and on your next laser session, the laser may not be able to as effective as usual.
Winter times come with their layers. The long sleeves, tights under skirts, and not being the bikini weather outside helps to cover your excess hair as well. This way you can let your hair be on the perfect stage during your sessions.

You will be beach ready by the summer

We recommend 6-8 hair removal session for the optimum results. And each session would need to be 4-6 weeks apart.
If you were to start your laser hair removal treatments now, you can easily be ready to enjoy stress-free summer!
Easier to arrange your treatment times. You have more time. Don’t need to pause your treatment for holidays

Easier to arrange your diary

We all love the summer holiday. The dark winter days are over and can spend more time with the kids too. And we do deserve those lovely sunshine holidays. Doesn’t matter if it means that we will need to rearrange many set plans.
During the winter times, you can arrange your appointments easier. As you don’t need to pause your treatment for holidays, you can continue your them on the set schedule. Which will bring you better results in the long run too.

Get beach-ready before summer this year!

Most frequently asked questions about laser hair removal

If you are considering or getting ready to start your laser hair removal treatments, we’ve prepared you a handy guide with our most frequently asked questions about laser hair removal.

How do I get ready for my laser hair removal appointment?

Before your laser hair removal appointment, we kindly ask you to shave the area 24 hours before your treatment.
Avoid any chemical peels or laser resurfacing in the treatment area.
Exfoliate to remove any dead skin build-up.
Ensure no fake tan is present on the skin.
Avoid excessive sun exposure on the area being treated two weeks prior (including solariums and spray tan)
Do not wax or pluck hairs four weeks before laser treatment.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

One of the benefits of laser hair removal is that the treatment is virtually painless, especially compared to waxing. Each pulse lasts less than a second, producing a slight tingling feeling. In particularly sensitive areas, such as the upper lip, it may feel like a rubber band snap on the skin.

Our advanced cooling machines used in all laser treatments cools your skin before, during and post-treatment to minimise discomfort.

How long should I wait in between laser hair removal sessions?

Depending on your hair and skin type and the area being treated, you will usually require treatments at 4-6 week intervals.
Each part of your body has a different hair growth cycle, so the hair loss will vary depending on what phase your follicles are in at the time of the treatment.

Can you do laser if you have PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)?

One of the most common effects of PCOS on women is excessive hair growth due to hormones in the body.
If you are suffering from PCOS, you can choose laser hair removal. It can give you longer results than waxing or shaving. However as we usually recommend 6-8 sessions for laser hair removal, you might need to have more sessions depending on your hair and skin type as well as the degree of the effect of PCOS.

Can I have laser hair removal when I’m pregnant?

We don’t recommend to have laser hair removal while you are pregnant. Even though there are no studies show that the laser is dangerous for you or for the baby, you can still experience high discomfort and your skin can react negatively to the laser while you are pregnant or during breastfeeding.

You can start your laser hair removal treatment as soon as you stop breastfeeding.

Is laser hair removal safe on dark skin?

With the old technology laser hair removal machines, there was always the danger of pigmentation on darker skin tones when the laser is performed.
With the latest technology candela machines, you can now have a safe and effective laser treatment on darker skin tones as well.
During your free consultation, your clinician will examine your skin and inform you about how suitable laser hair removal for your skin.

Does laser hair removal help with the marks that are left with shaving? Like the green tint.

When you shave, you also exfoliate the top layer of your skin which can cause some skin irritations. And the green tint you are experiencing is a side effect of shaving on dry skin.
With laser hair removal, you don’t experience these marks on the skin after the treatment. However unfortunately laser cannot get rid of the previous marks on your skin. It will only get rid of the hair follicles on the treatment area. If you are looking for a solution to get rid of your skin marks and imperfections, our skin experts offer a free consultation to help you to reach your skin goals.

Can I wax or shave between my laser hair removal sessions?

Hair grows in different stages. And unfortunately, we don’t know which hair follicle is on which stage at what point. Laser hair removal burns the hair root and destroys it. And in order to do this, your hair follicle should be on the right stage. This is also the reason that we recommend 6-8 sessions in 4-6 weeks apart. As if your hair root was not on the right cycle on your first session, it is highly likely to be on the right cycle on the coming sessions.
Waxing or plucking will be effecting the roots of the hair follicles. It pulls off the root and messes up with the natural cycle of your hair. And when you come to your next laser session, your hair follicle may not be on the necessary phase.
But of course, you may not want to have any excess hair while waiting for your next laser hair removal appointment. Then you can shave between your session. This way you won’t disturb the hair growth cycle and you can temporarily get rid of the unwanted hair until you remove them permanently.

10 Benefits Of Hydrafacial

Hydrafacial, also known as the Hollywood facial, has been one of the biggest skincare revolutions in the beauty industry. You’ve probably seen a famous model or a singer talking about Hydrafacial. Or realised a sudden glow on your friends face after she tried it. Over 2 million treatment performed over the world, hydrafacial is getting more and more popular everywhere.

What makes Hydrafacial this famous?

It is not too often, a skincare procedure would be everyone’s favourite. But Hydrafacial has definitely built itself a strong place. But how?
Here are some of the main reasons most of our clients prefer Hydrafacial as a part of their regular skincare routines.
  • Immediate results
  • Lifelong good skin
  • Suitable for all skin types
  • Gives an overall skincare
  • 6 treatments in 1 session
And of course most importantly ‘the amazing skin benefits’. We’ve listed the 10 Hydrafacial skin benefits for you.

Hydrafacial deep cleanses your skin

For healthy skin, you should clean your skin twice a day with a skin appropriate product. On your daily skincare routine, you probably would have cleansers, tonics, balms, wipes, and ointments. But even if you are following a very strict daily skincare routine, that Hydrafacial treatment will really show you how much dirt, makeup or dead skin cells get stuck in your skin. Hydrafacial, with its pore vacuum, deeply cleanses your skin and gets rid of all the nasty parts our cleaners cannot reach. If you don’t believe us, look at your deposit water after your Hydrafacial treatment. After each treatment, the dirt, oil and other deposits are collected in the deposit jar. You can see everything that has been cleaned from your skin.

Hdyrafacial for detoxification

Your 6 step Hydrafaical treatment starts with Lymphatic Drainage. This part of your treatment is performed with a special glass device which uses very light pressure and long, gentle rhythmic strokes to your skin. It increases the flow of lymph as well as reducing the toxins in your body. Lymph is a clear fluid that is consisted of white blood cells which bathe the tissues. Your lymphatic system is a part of your body’s immune system and it helps to fight with infections. Lymphatic drainage step will promote the absorption and movement of your lymphatic fluids and help get rid of toxins, bacteria, viruses and infections.

Hydrafacial for undereye puffiness

Tiredness, stress, bad sleep… You can usually read these signs from under your eyes. Undereye puffiness is a condition 80% of the population suffers from at some point in their lives, and in most cases, pretty much regularly. With tiredness and ageing, the muscles around eyes supporting the tissues get weaken. And the skin can get saggy, also causing gaps in the undereye tissues. By the time your lymphatic fluids may accumulate in the space below your eyes. This causes swelling and as we know it, undereye puffiness. With correct pressure points, light pressure and continuous rhythm on lymphatic drainage, Hydrafacial will help you to get rid of your undereye puffiness.

Hydrafacial for less congested pores

We all know the acne is caused by bacteria and inflammation stocked in your pores. Sweat, leftover makeup, pollution and dirt on your skin gather in your pores. When you clean your skin you will always leave some of them left. Doesn’t matter what you are cleaning your face with. You can use special face soap, home use deep cleanse machines or nose strips. You can never reach the deep pore cleanse as well as Hydrafacial. Hydrafacial opens up your pores, prepares your skin to deep suction with exfoliation and salicylic acid. Once your skin gets softened and ready to be cleaned, the deep suction clears up all your pores and leaves with you perfectly cleansed skin.

Hydrafacial to get rid of acne

Even if your skin is not acne-prone or oily by nature, you can still be suffering from acne. As we’ve mentioned before when your pores are filled with swear, dirt, pollution or any other outside effects; the bacteria start to cumulate on your skin. The more bacteria are collected, the more puss is created on your skin. And when the puss is gathered, it forms the acne. There are different types of acne. Such as blackheads or whiteheads which are easier to be cleaned gotten rid of. And there are also other types of acne where the puss cumulates under the skin and is much harder to get rid of. Such as pustule or papules. Hydrafacial can help decrease the appearance of your acne, whichever the type it is.

Hydrafacial for deep hydration

As it is in the name, Hydrafacial provides a deep moisturising effect on your skin. On the hydration step, a special solution filled with vitamins, peptide. These customisable serums give your skin all it is lacking for a glowing and healthy appearance. When the serum is applied with the special tip attached on the Hydrafacial applicator, it penetrates the skin deeper and better.

Hydrafacial for a deep skin peel

The skin peel treatments help to refresh and renew your skin and appearance. Regular skin peels get rid of the top layer of your skin and clear off the dead skin cells. This promotes your body’s natural renewal process and helps you to have a better looking and feeling skin. Also, it helps the skincare products to penetrate your skin better and reach deeper layers. The second and third steps of Hydrafacial is focused on skin peeling and extraction. These steps help you to have younger-looking skin and also helps you to benefit more from the vitamins and peptides applied to your skin on the upcoming steps.

Hydrafacial for personalised skincare

While most of our clients prefer to have monthly Hydrafacial treatments as a part of their skincare routine, some of our clients also prefer Hydrafacial as a personalised skincare routine. During your consultation with one of our skincare experts, depending on your skin needs, they can prepare you a personalised skincare plan with Hydrafacial. On this personalised routine, your expert will plan your treatment which can be weekly treatments for 4-6 weeks. And choose the special ingredients for you, depending on your skin concern.

Hydrafacial for a younger-looking skin

There are more than one ways how Hydrafacial can help you to have younger-looking skin. As we all know hydration is one of the key elements when it comes to younger skin and overall skin health. With the special hydration methods of this treatment, your skin will feel plump, healthy and fresh. Regular skin exfoliation helps you to get rid of the head skin cells and promotes the body’s natural skin regeneration. With the glycolic and salicylic acids applied during your Hydrafacial treatments, your skin benefits from good healthy exfoliation. And lastly, with the lymphatic drainage, your skin will get rid of all the toxins and reach to its best appearance and health.

Hydrafacial for a good skin for life

Hydrafacial is not just a facial. It answers most of your skin needs and gives you the best skincare you need. We recommend you to have regular treatments for a great skin for long-lasting results.
For any questions or to see if Hydrafacial is the most suitable treatment for you, why not book a free consultation with our skincare experts?

Happy Halloween with Dermapen Vampire Facial Needling

Halloween is just around the corner. It is time to see some blood!

If you haven’t try dermapen microneedling before, this is the best time for it!

What is Dermapen microneedling and why does it make me bleed?

As living mechanisms, our bodies always work to repair any problems. Think about when you get a cut or a bruise. Your body will use all its power to fix the problem. Stop the bleeding, cover the cut and polish the surface.
But that is not all! It also keeps renewing itself to make sure all our organs are working perfectly, they are fresh and young and working to full potential.

As our largest organ, skin also takes lots of time to fix and renew constantly. This renewal is done with some helpful enzymes such as collagen.

However, by the time we age, our metabolism gets slower with the routine renewals. Hence we start to get wrinkles and fine lines on our skin. And some scars don’t get fixed as quick or perfect as it used to.

It’s not because your body doesn’t want to keep you as refreshed as before, but now it has more things it needs to fight against such as stress, bad eating habits, pollution and so on.

But we don’t have to just accept this and go on with our lives. We can actually trick our bodies to bring back its glory days!

How? By causing artificial scars to make our skin work on.

When our skin sees a cut or a scar, it gives special attention to the area to fix the problem. And even after fixing it, our skin makes sure to keep the helpful enzyme production to the maximum on the area for a good while.

How does Dermapen Microneedling work?

Dermapen microneedling creates tiny artificial scars on the top layer of your skin. These scars are created with very thin needles penetrating the skin very quickly and in a controlled manner.

Even though these artificial scars are not really scars and won’t cause any problems on your skin, your metabolism considers it as a threat and provides extra resources to fix the problem.

Although as we said there is not really a problem!

So your skin overcorrects the area and leaves you with a better looking and younger appearance.

In a nutshell, dermapen tricks your skin to wake up and work like it used to!
So much for tricks and treats, right?

If you would like to learn more about the science behind it and see if your skin is suitable for dermapen treatment, book a FREE consultation now and speak to one of our skin experts.

 

How much blood is there going to be after Dermapen treatment?

Dermapen microneedling has different depth and speed settings that will be arranged by your practitioner depending on your skin type and condition.

While 0.25mm depth on lower speed will mainly cause a little redness on your skin, 2.5mm will probably cause some bleeding.

But anything for beauty, right?

Do not worry! As we previously mentioned, the treatment is completely safe and your experts will be only using the appropriate settings on your skin. And then again the traumas created on our skin are not actual scars.

It is normal to have some discomfort after your treatment but if you experience any side effects or constant discomfort, you can contact your clinic and your experts will further examine your skin and make sure you reach your skin goals in the most comfortable way.

The whole dermapen process

Before starting your dermapen treatment, your clinician will give you a full consultation and ask you about your main skin concerns. They will also explain to you the whole process and answer any of your questions.

Dermapen microneedling process takes around 30-45 mins. As it is a relatively painful treatment, your clinician will offer you some numbing cream before the treatment.

If you prefer to have numbing cream, you will definitely have a much comfortable treatment and won’t feel anything.

If you skip the numbing cream, dermapen can promote a better blood flow however the treatment can be a bit uncomfortable.

If you prefer to have the numbing cream, you will be asked to wait for 30 mins for the cream to show its full effect. Meanwhile, you can relax in the treatment room.

After 30 mins your clinician will come to the room and check your skin on different areas to make sure the cream was effective in all areas. If you have thicker skin, they might wait further 10 mins to better penetration.

After clearing the cream off of our skin, your clinician will clean your face with alcohol-based solutions. This is to protect your skin from any bacterias entering during the treatment while the needles are penetrating your skin.

After cleaning the whole face, they will apply the special gel and start the procedure. The microneedling tips are for single use. And your clinician will open yours from its new package whilst showing you.

During your treatment, your clinician will constantly ask you how you are feeling to make sure you are comfortable.

They will go through all the areas multiple times on different angles and movements for the best results with the dermapen. Also, during the treatment, your practitioner can change the depth and the speed of the dermapen depending on the facial area. Some areas on our face have thinner skin and can only tolerate lighter settings, or doesn’t need deep penetration. Or if there are any specific scars or imperfections, your clinician can specifically focus on those areas for maximum benefit.

After your treatment, they will apply Hyaluronic serum on the face to improve the treatment effects with higher absorption. After the serum, they will apply a special face mask where you can only get in the clinic with professional treatments. This mask will hydrate your skin and promote the recovery.

After the mask, your clinician will apply SPF to your skin and inform you about the aftercare.

Your skin might look a little red for 2-3 days after the day depending on the severity of your treatment. But once the redness is gone, you will see the amazing results on your skin.

Fighting Those Dark Circles Under Your Eyes!

You probably dread them the moment they appear – they’re huge, noticeable, and willing to invite almost anyone passing by to ask “Are you getting enough sleep, dearie?” They’re the dreaded dark circles under your eye, and whether you’re getting plenty of shut-eye or you’ve spent the night at the club, they can appear at almost any moment. They’re easily one of the most frustrating problems, but don’t worry – you do have a few weapons in your arsenal!

What Are Dark Circles Under The Eye?

Dark circles, sometimes called periorbital dark circles, are actually caused by a number of things. While a night without sleep or a few too many at the pub can certainly cause them, there are some other problems that may be at play. Seasonal allergies could also be causing the problem. Likewise, sleeping too much may be an issue, as can eczema, stress, or even crying. In all of those cases, though, the dark circles might disappear. When you have to deal with them day after day, though, they’re not likely to go anywhere soon, and the causes of constant dark circles can be different.  You may have inherited them from your parents. They could also be caused by excessive exposure to the sun or even skin pigmentation abnormalities. Unfortunately, the natural process of aging could also be the culprit. As you get older, you lose the fat and collagen around your eyes, and that magnifies what may not have seemed like a dark circle just a few years ago.

The Best Fix For the Problem

While some dark circles may disappear on their own, for those that seem more permanent, home remedies just aren’t going to do the trick. Instead, you need professional help, and at Premier Laser & Skin, we can give you just that. Our Sublative Radio-Frequency Skin Resurfacing is designed to tighten, lift, and smooth that skin, giving you a far more youthful appearance.

This unique lift moves beyond the surface layers of your skin. It reaches deep within the layers to help stimulate cell regrowth, completely eliminating those dark circles. Designed for people ages 30 – 50, it can either be used as a preventative measure or the perfect treatment. The results develop over as little as eight weeks, and the technology behind this amazing treatment is highly effective, safe, and FDA approved.

Your eyes can say so much about who you are. Don’t let them ask if you’re getting enough sleep again. Contact us today to set up an appointment!

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.
