Microneedling for Acne Scars: Effectiveness and Side Effects

Microneedling for Acne Scars: Effectiveness and Side Effects

In this article, we’ll take a look at microneedling for acne scarring, how it works, and also look at other options you could consider such as microneedling or laser for acne scars. So, let’s get stuck in. What is Microneedling?Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment that sees hundreds of miniature sterilised needles pricked into your skin. If you’re thinking, why on earth would I do this? Think again! The superficial wounds caused by these needles trick your skin into thinking it needs to repair itself. Cue a super-helpful dose of collagen and elastin. And what do collagen and elastin do for the skin? They help strengthen it, and keep it looking smooth and youthful. When you’re young, your skin is kept nicely topped up with collagen and elastin, but as you age, these proteins deplete and thus your skin ages. Does Microneedling work for Acne Scars?So how does a microneedling pen for acne scars work? Microneedling pens work thanks to a spring-loaded needle tip that automatically ‘stamps’ the skin with the tiny sterilised needles. When it comes to tackling acne scars, the microneedling depth for acne scars is around 1.5mm – 2mm deep. At this depth, the skin’s response is triggered to its best ability in order to start healing the acne scarring. According to an article in the National Library of Medicine, studies have shown that microneedling works best on – Rolling acne scarsBoxcar acne scarsIt is less effective on ice pick acne scarring. So, when thinking, will microneedling help with acne scars, you need to consider what type of scars you have. When you book in for a no-obligation consultation at Este, we’ll be able to assess your scarring and decide which course of treatment would be best suited to you. How many Microneedling Sessions for Acne Scars?Microneedling before and after acne scars photos have shown an improvement in the appearance of scars after just two treatment sessions. However, for the best results, you’ll need to wait around 4-6 weeks post treatment as that’s when the benefits of all that boosted collagen and elastin will be on full display. In general, it’s recommended that you have a minimum of three microneedling treatments for acne scarring. These sessions should be spaced at three-to-four-week intervals, and the best results are usually seen when a course of five treatments is carried out. Alternatives to MicroneedlingIf you’re unsure whether microneedling is for you, or you’re thinking whether to have microneedling or chemical peel for acne scars, then you do have a few other options you can try. Treatments such as – Skin Peels – at Este, we tailor our chemical peels to our clients. So, if you want to address acne scarring, we’ll sort out a chemical peel that targets just thatPixel Laser Resurfacing – makes tiny holes in the skin via laser, this then triggers the skin to up its production of collagen and elastin to repair the skinScarlet RF – a combination of short-pulse radio frequency and microneedlingOff-the-shelf skin serums – products with Retinol can help smooth out and correct the appearance of acne scars, as well as serums containing niacinamide and/or hyaluronic acidThe Magic Needle – Scarlet RFAt Este, we are privileged to be the exclusive home of the Magic Needle treatment.

You may experience redness post-treatment for up to 24 hours, but this will soon subside. Your skin will look plumper, firmer and rejuvenated and acne scars will be smoothed. Are Microneedling Results Permanent for Acne Scars?Microneedling isn’t a permanent solution to acne scarring, however results can be long-lasting. You can expect to enjoy smoother skin for around three to five months. After this time, you are able to have top-up microneedling treatments to keep your skin looking good. Is Microneedling Worth it for Acne Scars?If you’re looking for a quick and easy treatment that has zero downtime and is well tolerated by many, then microneedling is definitely worth it.

Melasma Mustache: How to Reverse Dark Upper Lip

Melasma Mustache: How to Reverse Dark Upper Lip

A melasma moustache, also called a sun mustache or summer moustache, is a skin pigmentation condition that often gets worse in the summer because of increased sun exposure. This type of melasma often appears over the upper lip, causing this area of the face to darken (e.g., brown blotchy patches, or greyish skin over the lip). Este Medical does have a wonderfully easy and skin-safe treatment to recommend! Don’t panic! Melasma pigmentation over the lip is not considered a health threat; however, it can be frustrating to live with as it visibly affects your skin colour and your appearance. It’s also an indication you need to increase your use of SPF skincare and sun protection (e.g., increase your protection with a sun hat, sun shade, sun umbrella in the summer). In most cases a melasma moustache is a result of sunlight and sun damage; the delicate skin over the lip is overly exposed to the sun’s damaging rays. It can also be attributed to changes in hormones (e.g., postnatal, menopause for example), your genetics, and some medications. Melasma Mustache CausesWhat causes melasma mustache? For the most part, this type of skin discoloration is a result of excessive melanin in the inner and outer layers of the skin. Melasma occurs when there is a cellular increase in the pigment melanin in the skin. The following factors may work alone to cause a melasma moustache, or combine to cause this condition. Here are things that may cause a melasma lip mustache. Sun damage, frequent sun (UV) or heat exposure (i.e., melasma sun mustache)Hormone changes in puberty, or from postpartum and postnatal changes (i.e., pregnancy melasma mustache re: pregnancy mask )Some medications (e.g., birth control pills with oestrogen)Family history and geneticsIllness or disease (e.g., thyroid disease)Woman & Hormonal Melasma MustacheDid you know that melasma mustache is more likely for reproductive-aged females than it is in males. It is a common pregnancy condition, affecting 15% – 50% of pregnant or postnatal women. During pregnancy, this type of melasma is often referred to as the mask of pregnancy. How Can I Treat Melasma Mustache?One of the best professional treatments to reverse dark upper lip pigmentation are cosmelan pigmentation peel sessions. Send us a message through our website to find an Este Medical clinic near you. Can You Get Rid Of Melasma Moustache?Yes, there are effective and professional ways to get rid of melasma mustache. Cosmetic treatment is recommended for melasma dark upper lip because if left untreated it can recur from summer to summer, or unfortunately get worse with more exposure to sun and UV light (e.g., tanning beds). How to get rid of melasma mustache? Here’s our recommendation for upper lip melasma mustache treatment. You can certainly try drugstore at-home skin brightening moisturising lotions and creams to treat melasma upper lip, but you might find that getting instant results takes longer than your summer vacay. Another option is dermatologist prescribed topical treatments that include skin-lightening ingredients like azelaic acid, kojic acid, and retinoids. Este Medical actually has a new line of skincare products, and for a melasma moustache treatment we would recommend our Este Plus Brightening Solution, EP Natural Lip SPF, and EP Supreme SPF 50+ suncare! The ultimate treatment for melasma mustache is a professional cosmelan pigmentation peel. In the case of melasma on upper lip, your Este Medical skincare expert will apply a cosmelan peel containing the natural skin-lightening ingredients azelaic acid and kojic acid. Take a look at these remarkable cosmelan peel before-and-after depigmentation client photos to see how effective this treatment is on a variety of skin tones. How Does A Cosmelan Peel Work To Reverse Dark Upper Lip?A cosmelan peel to reverse a dark upper lip works on all types of skin and different levels of pigmentation across all ages. When a cosmelan peel treatment is applied to the upper lip, its active ingredients get to work targeting the cells that give skin its pigment and help inhibit melanin production. Our skin-safe cosmelan peel’s azelaic acid and kojic acid target the cells responsible for pigmentation. As a result, the treatment area will lighten (especially over a couple of sessions), plus the skin tone will balance out, along with the appearance of skin discolouration. If you are tired of trying to hide your dark upper lip with concealer makeup, or want to try something more potent than chemist lightening creams, then send us a message through our website to book a cosmelan peel for dark upper lip or depigmentation lip treatment!

MCT Hair & Skin Treatments Now at Este! Discover Benefits of Meta Cell Technology

Meta Cell Technology (MCT) is the latest innovation enhancing plasma-rich and stem cell treatments for faster, more effective hair and skin rejuvenation. It also offers anti-ageing benefits by supporting natural regeneration for healthier skin and fuller hair. Let’s hear from Elika, one of our top hair and skincare consultants at Este UK, about how incredible MCT therapy really is! “Have you heard of MCT? I’m proud to share that we now offer this advanced technology at Este Medical Group clinics. MCT is a new treatment that allows us to extract exosomes and plasma from your blood. These enhanced growth factors can then be used in hair treatments to thicken hair and reduce hair loss. MCT is also amazing for skin treatments, helping you look more youthful,” reveals Elika.‍Este Medical offers free hair and skin consultations. If you’re looking for non-surgical solutions to address hair thinning, improve skin texture, or enjoy a natural glow-up, book an appointment for a complimentary consultation at an Este UK clinic near you. ‍What is MCT?Meta Cell Technology is a new regenerative treatment system that enhances traditional PRP or stem cell therapies used in hair and skin treatments. It supercharges the full potential of exosomes and blood plasma growth factors for better results. MCT hair and face treatments are in high demand, and Este Medical Group is proud to be one of the leading providers offering this advanced Meta Cell Technology in the UK. ‍How Does MCT System Work?The MCT medical system uses photothermal energy to boost the concentration and performance of growth factors in your plasma or exosomes. This type of energy is already used safely in treatments like laser resurfacing and laser hair removal. When applied to regenerative hair and skin treatments, electromagnetic and thermal energy helps improve the quality of plasma and exosomes, increasing their growth factor levels and cell performance. Safe, effective, and backed by evidence, MCT is next level — and Este Medical Group is once again at the aesthetic forefront, bringing sophisticated hair and skin rejuvenation treatments to the UK. ‍Benefits of MCT in Aesthetic Treatments for Skin & HairThere is growing demand in the UK for regenerative treatments like PRP, PRF, stem cell, and exosome mesotherapy, as more people discover the benefits of non-surgical procedures for skin and hair rejuvenation. Therapeutic injectables are rich in growth factors that help revive skin health and support faster healing. PRP and PRF hair injections, along with the latest stem cell hair transplant techniques, are considered among the most advanced hair regrowth treatments available. People are becoming more aware of how platelet-rich plasma, platelet-rich fibrin, and stem cells can be powerful tools in anti-ageing and skin renewal. With the introduction of MCT, regenerative medicine is reaching new levels. This new procedure boosts the effectiveness of PRP, PRF, and cell-based therapies, allowing for more targeted and faster results. MCT helps deliver better outcomes in fewer sessions, making it easier than ever to slow signs of ageing or restore thinning hair with noticeable clinical improvements. ‍Who Should Have MCT Hair Treatments?‍MCT hair treatments are ideal for individuals experiencing early to moderate hair thinning, patchy hair loss, or weakened hair follicles. If you’re looking for a natural, non-surgical way to boost hair density and support long-term hair health, MCT can be an excellent option. Because it enhances the effectiveness of PRP, PRF, and stem cell therapies, it’s especially beneficial for people who want to maximise their hair growth results without undergoing more invasive procedures. ‍MCT Exosomes and MCT Plasma is also well-suited to those who have already tried other hair loss treatments with limited success and are ready to explore next-level regenerative medicine. If you’re planning a hair transplant, adding MCT to your treatment plan can help improve hair graft survival and speed up recovery after a hair transplant. It’s a great fit for both women and men seeking fuller, healthier hair using their body’s own healing power. You might be a good candidate for MCT hair therapy if you’re noticing gradual thinning at the crown or temples, if your hair parting is widening, or if you’ve experienced stress-related hair shedding. MCT is safe, effective, and uses your own blood plasma or stem cells, making it a gentle yet powerful treatment for most hair types and hair loss conditions. At Este Medical Group, we will assess your hair and scalp with a full consultation to determine if MCT Exosomes or MCT Plasma is right for you. Book a complimentary appointment to explore whether this advanced regenerative option could be the key to restoring your hair’s strength and vitality. ‍Why Have MCT Skin Treatment?‍MCT Plasma and MCT Exosomes skin treatments are a powerful way to refresh and rejuvenate your skin using the latest advancements in regenerative medicine. By enhancing the performance of PRP, PRF, and exosomes, MCT helps deliver a higher concentration of growth factors that encourage skin renewal, improve skin elasticity, and reduce visible signs of ageing. Individuals often choose MCT skin therapy because it offers visible results without the need for surgery. Whether you want to soften fine lines, even out skin tone, or boost your overall glow, MCT works with your body’s natural healing processes to bring lasting improvements. One of the standout benefits of MCT skin therapy is how quickly results can appear. There’s often a ‘flash’ effect right after treatment, giving the skin a radiant, refreshed look. Deeper anti-ageing benefits become noticeable within weeks, and because of the regenerative power of exosomes, PRP, and PRF, skin quality continues to improve over time. If you want a non-surgical skin boost that delivers both instant and long-term results, MCT is a smart and modern option. At Este Medical Group, we offer free consultations to help you find the best approach to healthy, youthful skin — schedule yours today and learn how MCT can elevate your skincare routine.

These days, with incredible advances in aesthetic technology, it’s now possible to treat a variety of scars with powerful laser treatment. Whether you’re looking to find out information on laser treatment for acne scars, or you’re interested in laser for deep scars, or post-op surgical scarring, this article will give you all the pros and cons of the process. But first, here’s how it works… Laser Treatment for Scars: How it WorksAt Este, we use pixel laser resurfacing therapy for scarring. This fractional laser for scars uses cutting-edge technology to deliver the laser to the skin via a micro-optic lens. This method creates pixel-sized ablation dots on the area of skin that’s being treated. In turn, the laser is able to penetrate deep into the skin. What’s also great about our pixel laser resurfacing treatment is that we can adjust the level of penetration according to the level of scarring and the treatment required. That means, when you choose Este, you’ll be getting a totally personalised service for your condition.

Laser Tattoo Removal Aftercare Tips

Laser Tattoo Removal Aftercare Tips

So, you got rid of that embarrassing tattoo from a time you’d rather forget, but what about laser tattoo removal aftercare? When you undergo laser tattoo removal at Este Medical, your clinician will advise you of the best aftercare for laser tattoo removal, but if you need a little recap then check out the info below. Does Laser Tattoo Removal Hurt?Before we get going with aftercare tips, if you’re wondering whether the actual process of getting your tattoo removed is going to be painful, then rest assured it won’t hurt as much as the actual tattoo itself did. People liken the pain to something a little like sunburn, or rubber bands being flicked on your skin. If you’ve managed the experience of getting a tattoo, you should be fine when it comes to getting it removed. Laser Tattoo Removal Aftercare InstructionsWhen you get an old tattoo removed by laser, your skin is exposed to extremely powerful lasers. Our skin has the ability to withstand this technology, but it’s wise to be as cautious as possible when it comes to aftercare. If you don’t follow the specific laser tattoo removal aftercare UK tips provided by your clinician, then you could leave yourself open to developing – HyperpigmentationSkin irritationAn infection of the lasered areaSo, let’s look at the best things you can do to help avoid these issues. The First Two DaysThe first two days after having your tattoo removed by laser are paramount in your skin’s recovery. To help avoid any skin irritation or problems developing with the area, it’s wise to wear soft, loose-fitting clothes. Opt for light, breathable fabrics such as 100% cotton. Steer clear of any fabrics that have an itchy feel to them – such as wool for example. To help ensure your skin is protected, your clinician may dress your old tattoo with a bandage dressing. This isn’t always necessary, and is done on a case-by-case basis. If you do have a dressing or bandage, then make sure you leave it alone and don’t pick at it as this could cause extra irritation. Only take your dressing off once you have been told it’s safe to do so. Clean UpHygiene is key when it comes to tattoo laser removal aftercare UK. During the healing stage, you’ll need to keep the area treated, clean. You don’t need to go overboard with a special laser tattoo removal aftercare cream at this stage, just rinse with warm water and gently pat dry if needed. Your clinician may have given you an antibacterial cream to apply, if this is the case then you can use this laser tattoo removal aftercare cream as advised. Make sure you absolutely avoid exposing the skin that’s been treated to any potential irritants such as perfumes, body sprays, and soaps. Leave Scabs AloneEveryone knows how tempting scabs can be to pick, but seriously, if you want your skin to heal as best it can, don’t pick or rub at any scabs or crusting skin that appears in the area. Scabs are all part of your skin’s healthy healing process so let your skin do its job and don’t intervene. Scabs form so that your skin is protected from dirt and microbes that could get into the healing skin and cause infection. Scabs and skin that blisters are a common part of the healing process when it comes to tattoo removal, but if you’re at all worried or something is causing you discomfort, speak to your specialist at Este who’ll be able to help. If you’re worried about blisters, don’t be – they’re also part of your skin’s healing process. The best way to deal with them is to leave them alone, avoid placing them under any amount of pressure, and keep them out of hot tubs or showers. If you want to help relieve any discomfort from the blisters, an ice pack wrapped in cloth can be used, or try gently smoothing on an aloe vera gel. Stick to the ShadePost-treatment, you should aim to keep your treated skin out of the sun. If you have to go out in it, layer up with clothing, and/or add a high SPF suncream. Look for suncream with good UVA and UVB protection. You’ll need to stay out of the sun for at least the first four weeks after your tattoo removal. This will give your skin the best chance of a full recovery and avoid any potentially harmful rays that could lead to hyperpigmentation. And now for a few extra questions, that might be preying on your mind… Does Laser Tattoo Removal Leave Scars?Permanent scarring shouldn’t occur if you are treated with the correct laser, by qualified clinicians. During the healing process your skin may scab and blister, and you need to avoid picking or irritating those if you want to have smooth, clear skin post-treatment. Can you Tattoo Over Laser Tattoo Removal?Yes, if the old ink from your tattoo has faded and your skin has healed, then it’s possible to have another tattoo in the same place. You’d need to wait for healing to be complete, and at least eight weeks before a new one can be considered. How Long After Laser Tattoo Removal will Tattoo Fade?You’ll need multiple laser treatments to permanently remove your unwanted tattoo. How long it takes for your tattoo to fade differs from person to person. In general, you should expect to see your tattoo start to fade around two to three weeks post treatment. We hope this guide has been handy in helping you understand the best way to deal with laser tattoo removal aftercare. As with anytime when you’re healing, it’s wise to rest up, drink plenty of water, and eat a healthy diet to boost your immunity. If you have any further questions, please get in touch with the team at Este who’ll be happy to advise.

Keeley Hawes’ New Look Sparks Nose Job Talk. Top 10 Reasons for Nose Surgery!

Keeley Hawes’ New Look Sparks Nose Job Talk. Top 10 Reasons for Nose Surgery!

English actress Keeley Hawes is best known for her performances in TV and film adaptations of literary classics. She has been getting attention for adapting more than just her acting roles — her hair and overall style have changed, and many fans are wondering if rhinoplasty played a part in her transformation. When you look at Keeley Hawes’ before and after nose photos (alleged nose job), there is a difference. Her new look has sparked talk that she may have had her nose refined through surgery, or perhaps undergone other subtle facial treatments like lifting or tightening. Celebrity Nose Jobs: Inspiring Confidence and Transformation‍Of course, it’s all speculation. But when celebrities show signs of aesthetic change, it often opens the door to wider conversations about plastic surgery — especially rhinoplasty and septoplasty. Nose surgery can improve facial harmony, boost confidence, and for those in the spotlight, potentially lead to more opportunities in front of the camera. That said, not every cosmetic procedure is about career moves or chasing beauty standards. Surgeries like nose reshaping, chin implants, or brow lifts are often about feeling good in your own skin. If it helps someone feel more confident when they look in the mirror, that’s reason enough. At Este Medical Group, we support those goals fully — because no matter your celebrity status, you’re treated like a VIP at Este! Are you curious about having an Este nose job in Turkey? Contact Este UK to book an appointment for a consultation to determine if septoplasty or rhinoplasty is the best fit for your face! Should I Get A Nose Job? Top 10 Reasons for Nose Surgery ‍Here’s a list of 10 aesthetic and practical reasons someone might consider getting a nose job (rhinoplasty or septoplasty) during their lifetime — whether male or female: Aesthetic ReasonsImprove Facial Balance: A well-proportioned nose can enhance overall facial harmony by complementing features like the chin, lips, and eyes.Refine Nose Shape or Size: Many individuals want to reduce a bump on the bridge, narrow the nose tip, or adjust the width of the nose for a more refined look.Correct Asymmetry: A crooked or uneven nose, whether natural or caused by injury, can be reshaped to create a more symmetrical appearance.Boost Self-Confidence: Changing a feature that has always caused insecurity can dramatically improve how someone feels about their appearance.Refresh an Aging Appearance: As we age, the nose can droop or change shape. A subtle nose job can restore a youthful balance to the face.Practical Reasons‍Fix a Deviated Septum: A septoplasty can correct breathing problems, nasal blockages, or chronic snoring caused by a crooked nasal septum.Repair Trauma or Injury: Injuries from sports, accidents, or falls can be corrected with reconstructive nose surgery to restore both function and appearance.Improve Sleep Quality: Breathing issues related to nasal structure can affect sleep. Surgery can reduce snoring and improve airflow during rest.Ease of Wearing Glasses: For those with discomfort from the shape of their nasal bridge, a subtle reshaping can help glasses fit more comfortably.Support Career Confidence: For actors, public speakers, models, or professionals in highly visible roles, a nose job can enhance on-camera confidence and presence.‍Do any of these reasons sound familiar to you? If you’re thinking about how nose surgery could improve your confidence, breathing, or appearance, it might be time to speak with an expert. Book a consultation with Este Medical Group in the UK to explore your nose slimming or lifting options. You’ll be able to discuss surgical and non-surgical treatments for nose reshaping, as well as other facial procedures like a liquid facelift or one of our advanced face lifting treatments available in Turkey. ‍What To Know About Rhinoplasty Nose Surgery‍Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a safe cosmetic procedure that reshapes the nose. It can alter the size, refine the shape, adjust the bridge height, reshape the tip, and correct wide nostrils. There are two types of rhinoplasty: Open rhinoplasty: This involves an external incision on the columella (the strip of tissue between the nostrils), allowing greater access for reshaping.Closed rhinoplasty: All incisions are made inside the nostrils, resulting in no visible scarring and typically a shorter recovery time.Septoplasty, on the other hand, is a functional nose surgery aimed at improving breathing and overall nasal function. It corrects issues such as a crooked or deviated septum, which can significantly enhance airflow and respiratory comfort. Why Nose Shape Affects Confidence and Self-Esteem ‍For many individuals, how they feel about their nose starts early in life. School years can be especially tough when it comes to appearance, with children and teens often teased or bullied for features that stand out. Unfortunately, the nose is one of the most noticeable parts of the face, so it becomes an easy target for cruel nicknames or unwanted attention. These early experiences can stick, shaping how we see ourselves well into adulthood. During puberty, it’s common to become more aware of our appearance. For both males and females, this time of change can heighten self-consciousness, especially when the nose starts to take on a more prominent shape. If your nose feels “too big,” “too wide,” or simply out of proportion with the rest of your face, it can become a long-standing source of insecurity. Even in adulthood, those feelings can linger, affecting how you feel in photos, on video calls, or in social situations. While some people eventually learn to accept or overlook their nose shape, others continue to feel unhappy with how their nose affects their overall look. Thankfully, the idea of getting a nose job — also known as rhinoplasty — is no longer out of reach. Nose reshaping procedures are now more advanced, more refined, and far more accessible than ever before. In fact, many men and women travel to Turkey for top-quality nose surgery at a much lower cost compared to the UK or other parts of Europe. During your Este Medical UK consultation, our team can help you plan nose surgery in Turkey with Este Medical

Is Laser Hair Removal Not Working? Here are Some Reasons Why

Is Laser Hair Removal Not Working? Here are Some Reasons Why

However annoying this predicament may be, it’s not always something that you simply have to accept. If you’ve noticed signs that laser hair removal is not working for you, there are certain factors that might be to blame. Read on to discover why laser hair removal did not work, and what you can do to make sure it doesn’t happen again. How does Laser Hair Removal Work?Before we get stuck into everything to do with when laser hair removal is not working, it’s a good idea to make sure you understand the process of laser hair removal and how the technology works. Laser hair removal works by targeting a powerful light (emitted from the laser) into the hair follicle. This light is absorbed by the melanin – also called pigment – in your hair. As the hair absorbs the light it turns into heat and this, in turn, damages the hair follicles that are responsible for producing your hair. Once the hair follicle has been damaged it will no longer be able to produce hair, or if it can still produce hair, the hair will be much finer and less noticeable. Once your hair has been treated with laser hair removal, hair growth will be – InhibitedDelayedLessenedAs hair grows in stages, hair follicles can only be damaged when they are in the anagen – or growing – phase. This is why you need multiple laser hair removal treatments, as not all hair grows at the same rate, or is in the same stage as other hairs. Why is Laser Hair Removal Not Working?It can be a frustrating situation when you’ve invested lots of time, effort, and money in a procedure only to find out it’s just not delivering the results you dreamed of. Maybe you’re fed up of excess facial hair and you’re wondering, why is laser hair removal not working on my chin? Perhaps you’re worried that laser hair removal is not working due to PCOS. Whatever your concern, we’re here to help you understand what’s going on. Why Does Laser Hair Removal Not Work for Me?Laser hair removal may not work for a number of reasons. The most common ones are: Your hair growth is due to a hormonal imbalance – although a hormonal imbalance poses an extra set of problems, with thorough treatment, it is still possible to inhibit excess hair growth. If your laser hair removal on face is not working, it could be that a hormonal imbalance is affecting your results. Speak to your GP if you are worried about a hormonal imbalanceYour hair pigment and skin tone is too similar in colour and the laser can’t target the hair follicle – laser therapy has advanced quickly over the last few years and while it used to be the case that laser could only be used on people with fair skin and dark hair, it’s now possible to use laser to treat a greater range of skin and hair types. At Este, we’ve successfully treated people with dark skin and dark hair as well as lighter skin and hair typesYou haven’t followed the proper pre-treatment advice and preparation – if you want great results from your laser hair removal, you’ve got to do the groundwork. Prior to your treatment you will need to shave the area to be treated. Don’t wax or pluck as this will mean you have no hair to be destroyed. The laser needs the hair shaft to travel down to the hair follicle. Get rid of the hair shaft and the laser will have nothing to target – so shave, don’t wax.

HydraFacial Steps: What Does HydraFacial Do?

HydraFacial Steps: What Does HydraFacial Do?

Regular HydraFacial treatments are ideal for women and men who have dull skin, dry skin, and acne-prone skin. This professional skin facial treatment can also diminish the look of fine lines and improve skin tone. ‍Este’s Excellent EP Facial Reviews From People You Know!‍Hollyoaks Heartthrob Owen Warner: You are never too young to start a personal skincare regime with regular HydraFacial treatments. ‍Faye Brookes let us share her customised Este HydraFacial on Instagram. ‍Too Hot To Handle Harry Johnson says the Este Medical deep cleansing HydraFacial is his favourite treatment for refreshing his skin. ‍TikTok personality Rumena Begum is a big fan of our Este HydraFacial and she can’t live without it! ‍HydraFacial treatments are for everyone! Let’s talk about HydraFacial benefits and how consistent HydraFacial treatments will keep your skin looking fresh and firm throughout the year. ‍What Is A HydraFacial?A salon or cosmetic clinic HydraFacial is a multi-step skincare treatment that gives your face a reboot. HydraFacial results do last a long time, about 2 to 4 weeks depending on at-home skincare. This is why we recommend you have a HydraFacial treatment every month. HydraFacials are intensive; this skincare procedure gets down deep into the skin and cleans better than most basic facials. HydraFacial is one of the best exfoliating, cleansing, anti-ageing treatments available. When it comes to a HydraFacial treatment the emphasis is on skin renewal and rejuvenation (i.e., deep exfoliation, lymphatic draining, intense hydration). The good news is HydraFacial treatments are skin-safe and gentle enough for you to have on a monthly basis. The best skincare is regular, proactive skincare. Here’s what a HydraFacial may involve depending on which clinic you go to. ‍What Are The HydraFacial Steps?Skin analysisCleansingExfoliationExtractionInfusionHydration Before and After‍Skin Analysis & HydraFacial CustomisationBefore your first HydraFacial we recommend you have an in-depth skin assessment. Some of Este UK clinics use Visia Digital Skin Analysis to evaluate the true condition of your skin. The information a Visia digital imaging scan provides will reveal skin issues on and below the surface. With the information gathered from a skin assessment your first and following HydraFacial sessions can be customised to your specific skincare needs. At Este Medical Group, we offer customised HydraFacial treatments that target your skin conditions and concerns. Contact us to book a skin assessment today. . ‍HydraFacial CleansingThe amazing HydraFacial technology uses a small ‘vacuum cleaner-like’ cleansing device to extract dirt, dry skin cells, and oily grime from the face. This mini cleaning device sucks up all the impurities from the surface of your skin, especially around problem areas like the nose, T-zone, and chin. This skin vacuuming brings excess sebum and dead skin cells to the surface, which are then exfoliated away. The whole process stimulates lymphatic draining to detoxify the skin and increase healthy blood circulation beneath the skin’s surface. After the HydraFacial deep cleansing step, it is the right time to address surface texture, skin tone, and skin hydration. HydraFacial Exfoliation & ExtractionDuring the HydraFacial exfoliation step, the skin’s surface is treated with a skin-safe solution containing glycolic acid and salicylic acid to further refine the pores and surface texture, as well as brighten and firm the skin. Glycolic acid helps to exfoliate, increase skin cell renewal, and boost collagen; and salicylic acid is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, which is particularly good for acne skin. This is followed by the application of a solution with honey extract and salicylic acid to soothe and heal. Skin exfoliation is key to improving the look of dull, tired skin, as well as cleaning up whiteheads and blackheads, and diminishing the look of wrinkles. Would you like to book a UK HydraFacial treatment with Este Medical? Contact us through our website to get started! ‍HydraFacial Infusion & HydrationSkin exfoliation is followed by the topical application of a mix of antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid that work to plump and moisturise the skin at a very deep level. Your face is treated with a moisturising serum to lock in hydration and ensure your complexion is glowing and radiant. This step nourishes your skin and drenches it in moisture. A LED light bath completes the treatment. This part of the treatment uses low-level light therapy that has many skincare benefits; the light bath stimulates production of collagen (i.e., the protein responsible for younger-looking skin), reduces redness, helps eliminate acne-causing bacteria, and reduces the appearance of fine wrinkles. HydraFacials are excellent at improving the skin’s texture, making it feel smoother, because of the deep exfoliation process. Dead, dry skin cells on the surface are no longer in the way. After a HydraFacial, your skin will feel smoother and have more volume, the colour will be more even, fine lines will be fewer, and your face will be more lifted and firmer. ‍What are HydraFacial side effects? Should I be worried? No, you should not be worried about having a HydraFacial. This treatment is for all genders, and all skin types. Whatever your age, having a HydraFacial will prove effective. Really the only side effect, which is absolutely natural as a response to increased blood circulation beneath the skin’s surface, is some skin redness, which should fade quickly. Does HydraFacial sound like skincare you want to experience?
