Factors That Accelerate Skin Ageing: What The Twin Study Reveals

Factors That Accelerate Skin Ageing: What The Twin Study Reveals

Leave a Comment / Este, News /

For women and men interested in how their lifestyle can impact skin ageing The Twin Study is an amazing scientific source of data that reveals what factors affect the ageing of the skin.The Twin Study, published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery by Guyuron et al. (2009), does much to confirm that our lifestyles and environmental factors (e.g., sun exposure) have an impact on how our skin ages. To help you better protect and repair your skin from the signs of ageing and premature ageing skin, we have pulled the most relevant information from this study for you to more fully understand what happens to your skin as you age. ‍Study Reveals Secrets To Younger Looking SkinIt’s true, your lifestyle is probably having a negative effect on your skin ageing, specifically your behaviours and the environment. Using findings from The Twin Study, we will share with you how certain choices you make in your day to day life can have either a positive or negative affect on your skin ageing. Plus, provide you with professional skincare treatments that target ageing skin problems. Let’s first go over the signs of ageing skin, so you can identify your aged skin issues; additionally, it is helpful during a skincare consultation to specify what your main ageing skin concerns are to a skincare expert. ‍Signs Of Skin AgeingFacial wrinklesFrown linesSagging jowlsSkin laxitySmile linesSun damageAge spotsHyperpigmentationDull, dehydrated skinLoose skinIf you are already experiencing some of these age-related skin issues there are effective skincare treatments available for the face and body that will help to improve or eliminate them. If you are younger and would like to prevent these issues in the future, there are several skincare treatments (e.g., Botox) you can start now as part of a preventative anti-ageing wellness plan. Here are some key factors that The Twin Study showed accelerated skin ageing. As each one is revealed we’ll share which professional anti-ageing skincare procedures are effective treatments. ‍Sun Exposure & Sun Damage Twin Study Findings‍Does the sun age your skin? The study provides strong evidence that supports previous scientific findings that in fact UV rays are harmful and damaging to our skin; environmental sun exposure can cause age spots on skin and skin wrinkles. When it comes to many other environmental factors, sun exposure is the most impactful when it comes to skin ageing. In The Twin Study, twins revealed how much time they had spent in the sun since childhood. Not surprisingly, the twin who spent more time in the sun had deeper wrinkles, more skin spots, and skin discolouration. Those who reported using sunscreen minimised damage to their skin and skin collagen. In summary, the twin who had the most sun exposure looked older. Photo Credit: ASPS, PRSJournal.com Vol 123 number 4 The panel determined that Twin B (right) looks 11.25 years older than Twin A (left). They are both 61 years old here. Twin B had approximately 10 hours more per week of sun exposure than Twin A. Additionally; Twin B weighs fifteen pounds less than Twin A.

The perceived age difference between them was 3.375 years. Twin A (left) had about 19 hours per week more sun exposure than Twin B.Photo Credit: ASPS, PRSJournal.com Vol 123 number 4. These twins are 69 years old. The perceived age difference between them was 3.375 years. Twin A (left) had about 19 hours per week more sun exposure than Twin B.The debate over sunscreen vs no sunscreen is clearer than ever: if you want to avoid fine lines and wrinkles and prevent sunspots as you age, then you need to be using sunscreen on a daily basis — sun protection and sunscreen is not just for the beach. Another side effect of too much sun exposure or sun damage is old age skin pigmentation. Hyperpigmentation, liver spots, age spots, sunspots, uneven skin tone, and dark patches of skin can be the results of too much sun exposure over time. One of the most effective treatments to eliminate and reduce the look of skin pigmentation is the cosmelan peel. Este Medical offers cosmelan peel treatments for this type of skin ageing. We recommend you book a skincare consultation to determine if this depigmentation treatment is suitable for you. Skin a​geing can occur prematurely with exposure to damaging ​UV rays, as well as air pollution and climate issues like temperature and humidity. ‍Smoking & Alcohol: Lifestyle Factors That Accelerate Skin AgeingIt shouldn’t come as a surprise that regular smoking and alcohol use has a negative impact on skin health. The Twin Study did find that both smoking and drinking alcohol caused accelerated skin ageing. Let’s look at what the study revealed. ‍Does smoking age your skin? Smoking is not good news for your skin as you age. It has been well documented that smoking reduces skin circulation, skin elasticity, and skin thickness. As a result, your skin will not have a youthful rosy glow because of decreased oxygen to the skin, and thinner skin is more vulnerable to dullness, dryness, and wrinkles. The Twin Study found that twins with a history of smoking looked older. Twins who smoked 5 years or more looked older than their non-smoking twin. The bottom line, smoking will age your skin. Photo credit: ASPS, PRSJournal.com Vol. 123 number 4. 52 years old twins: Twin A (left) smoked for 20 years longer than Twin B (right). The perceived age difference here was 6.25 years.

Look at the successful outcomes three clients recently experienced from Este alopecia hair loss treatment.Anyone can suffer from alopecia, but it is more common for men. Here is proof alopecia can be effectively treated; both hair and personal self-confidence can be restored with the correct alopecia diagnosis and professional treatment! ‍Negative Fallout: Alopecia’s Impact On WellbeingHair loss from alopecia (i.e., alopecia areata) can be alarming as it often results in large uneven bald patches on the scalp which can be difficult to hide or conceal. The experience of alopecia is not only physical, but psychological for both men and women — the way alopecia manifests can be distressing and have a negative effect on self-esteem and lead to more serious concerns like depression and social anxiety. What Causes Alopecia?Alopecia can happen anywhere on the body, but it is more of an issue when it attacks the hair on your head, as dramatic balding and hair loss is harder to conceal. Common factors linked to hair loss caused by alopecia are: stress, hormone changes, medical conditions, and genetics. Before you begin any treatments for alopecia we recommend you have your hair loss condition diagnosed by a specialist. Este Medical Group has a solid history of treating alopecia. We recommend you contact us through our website to arrange a hair loss consultation. ‍Importance Of Professional Treatment For AlopeciaThere are different alopecia types, and alopecia treatment does vary depending on the type of alopecia you are experiencing — a proper diagnosis is strongly recommended. Types of alopecia include: Alopecia areataWith alopecia areata, hair loss occurs suddenly and often begins with one or more bald patches that may overlap (e.g., typically causes patchy hair loss). This condition causes cells in your immune system to surround and attack your hair follicles. Hair regrowth treatments (e.g., mesotherapy for hair loss) are available to help with this type of hair loss. Androgenic alopeciaAlso known as male/female pattern hair loss. This type of alopecia condition tends to target the top and front of the scalp. It is a hereditary condition that can also be influenced by hormone levels and ageing. People with pattern baldness often have close relatives with the same type of hair loss. Treatments may include FUE hair transplantation and/or Laser Hair Regrowth Therapy. Traction alopeciaThis type of hair loss is often caused by repeated trauma to hair follicles and/or from pulling hair back into tight hairstyles that put undue tension on the roots. When hair is pulled from the roots to make a hairstyle it may cause long-term damage (e.g., hair extensions, high ponytails, braids, cornrows). Hair loss may occur around the hairline and temples (DHI hair transplantation may be the best route to replace hair damage from this type of alopecia, speak to an Este expert about this option). The sooner you address your hair loss, the more likely you are to prevent further damage. Alopecia Testimonial: Can A Hair Loss Treatment Help Me?Yes, professional treatment for alopecia is strongly advised. Advances in hair loss therapy, technology and surgery (i.e., hair transplant) means retaining the hair you have, regrowing it, and/or replacing hair is absolutely possible. Este Medical Group has several successful hair loss treatments available. Book a consultation today to talk about your expectations and hair regrowth goals!Last Updated: December 6, 2022

These are factors that can influence or cause hair loss for women: ‍Hormonal changes: pregnancy/menopause are often associated with hair loss‍Genetics: studies indicate a connection to pattern baldnessAgeing: women over 40 tend to experience increased hair lossStress: significant physical/emotional stress has been linked to hair lossDiet: deficiencies in nutrients can affect hair healthVitamin deficiency: low levels of certain vitamins can affect hair lossMedications: hair loss can be a rare medication side effect; a variety of drugs may contribute, such as oral birth controlHairstyle: some chemical hair treatments and hairstyles may contribute to hair lossThe sooner you address your hair loss, the more likely you are to prevent further damage.

These are some of the most prevalent types of hair loss for women. ‍Female pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia)This is the most common type of female hair loss; a hereditary condition that can also be influenced by ageing and hormone levels. As women age, hormones play a role in hair loss during menopause. Hair becomes finer and thinner as follicles shrink, hair grows more slowly and falls out more frequently. ‍Diffuse hair loss (chronic telogen effluvium)Chronic telogen effluvium is a more persistent and prolonged type of hair loss which generally affects the entire scalp. Severe stress, anaemia, thyroid problems, and medication side effects are all examples of health-related conditions that may trigger, as well as perpetuate, this type of hair loss. ‍Alopecia areataAlopecia is immune system related and often results in patchy hair loss. This condition causes cells in your system to attack the hair follicles. It is not considered a serious medical condition. Hair growth treatments are available to help with this type of hair loss. ‍Traction AlopeciaThis type of hair loss is often caused by repeated trauma to hair follicles, often from pulling hair back into tight hairstyles that put extreme pressure on the hair roots. When hair is pulled from the roots to make a hairstyle it may cause long-term damage and hair loss. There are a few other types of hair loss that you can read about here. Whatever type of hair loss you are experiencing, there are professional hair loss treatments available to help restore your scalp health and regrow your hair. ‍Can a hair loss treatment help get my hair back?Advances in hair loss medical science, therapy, and surgery means retaining your hair, regrowing it, and replacing hair through a FUE transplant procedure is absolutely possible.

If you’re wondering whether you should shave before laser hair removal, or you’re looking for ideas on how to speed up shedding after laser hair removal, you’re in the right place. In this blog, we’ll unearth the secrets to getting the results you want with laser hair removal. Before: What to Do and What Not to DoThe time before laser hair removal is important. This is when, if you’re not fully clued-up about the laser hair removal process, you could start making some serious errors which will have a negative effect on your treatment results. Whether you’re having facial hair laser hair removal or you’re looking to target symptoms of hirsutism, it’s vital to follow the correct do’s and don’ts. What to Do Before Laser Hair RemovalWondering what to do before laser hair removal, we’re here to tell you. In order to get the best results from your treatment, you should – Cleanse and exfoliate your skin – For the laser to work its best, it’s important to have skin that’s been cleansed and exfoliated. This will help ensure the laser has an easy obstacle-free route to the hair follicle. Try to exfoliate three days prior to your treatment if possible. That way, any dead, loose skin will be removed and the hair will be more easily targetedBathe – It’s a good idea to ensure your skin is clean before your treatment, but if you’re wondering, ‘can you moisturise before laser hair removal’, the answer is no. Moisturisers will limit the laser’s ability to reach the hair follicleWear loose-fitting breathable clothes – when you’re coming in for your laser treatment, it’s important to come dressed in comfortable clothing. Think loose-fitting, non-irritating fabrics such as cotton jersey. Your Este skincare specialist will apply a calming topical cream after your treatment so it’s wise to consider this when choosing what to wearDouble-check your laser clinic’s credentials – one of the main ‘what to do before laser hair removal’ must-do’s is to check you’re happy with your choice of laser removal clinic. Check out reviews, look at before and after pics, just dig a little deeper than surface levelShave before laser hair removal – this is the only method of hair removal you should be doing prior to treatment because it leaves the hair root in the hair follicle so the laser still has something to target. Shaving before laser hair removal should be done 24 hours before treatmentWhat Not to Do Before Laser Hair RemovalNow you know what you should be doing, here’s what you shouldn’t: Don’t get a tanDon’t bleach your hairDon’t pluck or waxSay no to caffeine-based drinks – it can heighten your sensitivityDuring: What to Do and What Not to DoSo, you’ve started your treatment, maybe you’ve had a session, or a couple, and you’re wondering what’s actually ok to do between treatments. Let’s answer some questions: Q. Can I wax during laser hair removal?This is a definite no. If you’re midway through a course of treatment, you need to avoid waxing or plucking hair out. Once you’ve completed your treatment it’s fine to wax. As laser hair removal is considered the most permanent form of hair removal, you may not need to. Q. Can I tan during laser hair removal?We advise not to tan between treatments. This is because the more you tan the closer your skin colour will be to that of your hair. For laser to work well, there needs to be a decent amount of contrast between the skin and hair pigment. Q. How can I deal with ingrown hair during laser hair removal?The great news is that laser treatment is the best way to actually avoid and deal with any ingrown hairs you may have. The laser can get to the root of the problem and stop ingrown hairs from occurring. Laser does not cause ingrown hairs so you shouldn’t see any further problems develop, and in actual fact you should see an improvement in any ingrown hairs you currently have. Q. How to reduce pain during laser hair removal?If you’re worried about pain, try taking pain relief before your treatment, avoid scratching your skin prior to your session, and make sure you drink plenty of water. At Este, we use lasers with built-in cooling technology so our clients are as comfortable as possible. Q. Is laser hair removal safe during pregnancy?No, hair removal treatments such as laser and electrolysis are not considered safe during pregnancy. ‍ After: What to Do and What Not to DoWhat can and can’t you do after laser hair removal? Let’s take a look: Can you shave after laser hair removal? Yes, you can, but it’s best to wait 3-4 days after your treatment. This will ensure your skin has had time to heal and calm after the laser session.Can you shower after laser hair removal? It’s best to wait 24 hours post-laser before you have a shower. Use mild products, keep the water warm but not too hot, and be gentle on your skin.Can I use sunbed after laser hair removal? – No, please don’t. Your skin will be ultra-sensitive to UV rays so avoid sunbeds or natural tanning for at least two weeks after your laser treatment.If you’re itchy after laser hair removal please refrain from scratching as it will irritate the skin further.Exfoliate – this is a great way to help speed up shedding of your hair.Keep the area clean and dry, avoid deodorant if it irritates your skin, and keep any make-up and/or moisturiser to a minimum.What Next?At Este, we’re experts in laser hair removal for men and women, and can help remove unwanted excess hair wherever it is on your body. Whether you suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome and unwanted facial hair is one of your side effects, or you simply want to laser your underarm hair so you don’t have to worry about it in the summer, we can help. ‍Book your consultation with us and start your journey towards gorgeously smooth,

If this is the first time you are hearing about PRP injections for hair loss, then keep reading! As one of the leading hair loss experts, Este Medical Group is at the forefront of hair loss science for successful non-surgical hair loss treatments like PRP mesotherapy. What Is PRP Mesotherapy Hair Loss Treatment?PRP combined with mesotherapy is an effective non-surgical hair loss treatment that boosts blood circulation to the scalp to stimulate cell growth and nurture hair follicles with increased oxygen and growth factors. What is mesotherapy? The mesotherapy method involves a series of microinjections filled with active ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, injected below the scalp’s surface to the mesoderm. The customised treatment solution stimulates hair follicles to grow hair that is thick and strong; as a result the injections help to halt hair loss by providing nutrients that improve overall scalp and hair health. What is PRP combined with mesotherapy method? PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is made up of special cells called platelets that help hair follicles to grow by stimulating the stem cells and other cells in the hair follicle’s microenvironment. When injected into the mesoderm (i.e., the scalp) using the mesotherapy method, platelet cells accelerate and support hair growth. PRP hair injections stimulate inactive (or newly implanted) hair follicles into an active growth phase. PRP microinjections combined with mesotherapy is a very efficient technique for slowing hair loss and treating alopecia. To help you decide if PRP treatments are suitable for you, we have gathered together common questions men and women have about platelet-rich plasma hair loss therapy. ‍Mesotherapy can be a stand-alone treatment to repair your type of hair loss (e.g., male pattern baldness, hair thinning, alopecia), as well PRP mesotherapy is highly recommended to enhance a hair transplant before and after surgery.

Non-surgical PRP microinjections are natural, skin-safe and are considered pain-free! FYI! Another popular Este Medical non-surgical hair loss treatment to consider is laser light hair regrowth therapy.

Does HiFU Work? Is HiFU Worth It?

Does HiFU Work? Is HiFU Worth It?

Leave a Comment / News /

What if we told you there was a way you could tighten up your skin! There is an amazing non-surgical body and face treatment to recontour, firm and tighten areas of skin, it’s called High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HiFU). As we get older, and sometimes due to weight fluctuations, our skin loses elasticity, and this is what can cause sagging and loose skin. There are several ways you can tighten up skin, — let’s focus on the popular HiFU skin tightening treatment and benefits of HiFU. ‍What Is HiFU?Here’s how HiFU can help tighten up loose skin and reshape your stomach for example, or lift your face (e.g., non-surgical facelift!). HiFU offers an alternative to surgery to contour and tighten problem areas on the face and body where there is skin sagging or loose skin (i.e., skin laxity). As mentioned, HiFU stands for high-intensity focused ultrasound, and when used as a face or skincare treatment, the high-intensity energy of the HiFU treatment device beams radio frequency energy into the sagging skin tissue to increase the temperature, this additional heat helps to ablate targeted skin tissue (i.e., remove and destroy unwanted skin tissue and fat). Healthcare providers use HiFU because it is skin-safe and non-invasive, and generally safer than other kinds of treatments. Radio frequency ultrasound treatments will help to rejuvenate your skin, help smooth the skin, and most importantly, tighten your skin and decrease skin sagging. ‍Is HiFU Worth It?If you want to avoid surgery (e.g., tummy tuck), then HiFU skin tightening is a good alternative. If you are uncomfortable with sagging skin on your face, making you look older than you really are, then HiFU treatments are definitely worth it! If you are struggling to fit into bodycon clothes without feeling self-conscious, then HiFU is an excellent way to streamline your body to fit better into the clothing you want to wear. If HiFU helps to improve your self-esteem and gives you more self-confidence, then it is absolutely worth it! For the best results, you will require multiple treatments, typically 3-6 sessions, spaced a week or two apart. Book your HiFU consultation today to speak to one of our skin tightening specialists. ‍Does HiFU really work?There is clinical data that shows HiFU works to lift sagging skin and refine wrinkles and deep lines. In just a few months post-treatment you can see results! Many clients report seeing a positive effect immediately after HiFU treatment. However, you will see results take place 2 to 3 months after the initial treatment, as the body needs time to naturally regenerate elastin and collagen to help give the skin its bounce back. How long does HiFU last?‍The benefits of a HiFU facial for example can last for about 1 year. To maintain long-term HiFU results, we recommend HiFU treatment intervals are every 1 to 3 months for the most optimal results. HiFU naturally tightens the skin and stimulates collagen and elastin production, giving your skin a more youthful and refreshed appearance. ‍Should I Worry About HiFU Side Effects?‍Is HiFU safe?As HiFU treatments are non-invasive, and ultrasound technology has been around for decades (ultrasound has been used for clinical reasons since the 1960s!) you have nothing to worry about having HiFU tightening treatments, especially if you have HiFU treatments at a reputable medical clinic like Este Medical. ‍I worry, is HiFU painful?‍At Este Medical clinics our team of professionals do everything possible to ensure your comfort during treatment. HiFU is not reported as painful; however, some clients may experience a little discomfort, as the HiFU device can be associated with the feeling of a prickly sensation as the high-intensity energy is beamed into the skin tissue. It has also been described as a pulsing feeling, but in general it is not considered a painful procedure. Thanks to the HiFU device’s integrated cooling system, the procedure is comfortable. ‍Can I exercise after HiFU treatment?Not right away, we recommend you wait about a week before engaging in vigorous exercise or lifting heavy objects. We also advise you to avoid direct heat treatments to the body or face for about 2 to 3 days before and for one week after HiFU skin tightening (e.g., tanning bed, sauna, steam room). These are fairly standard cosmetic clinic recommendations. ‍Radio Frequency + Ultrasound For Face: What Is HiFU Facial?Let’s cover what is HiFU treatment for face: it involves ultrasound combined with radio frequency energy to stimulate supporting skin. The high intensity energy heats the tissue below the skin’s surface, causing it to contract and tighten, as well as form new collagen fibres. HiFU is an excellent facial treatment because it improves the condition of skin laxity and increases skin elasticity, which helps to lift the face and improve facial contours. ‍See for yourself how HiFU facials tighten and contour the face.‍Can HiFU Be Used To Reduce Body Fat?‍Can HiFU be used on stomach? Yes, HiFU skin tightening can be used on the tummy, think of it as a non-surgical tummy tuck. Here are other problems areas that HiFU can also target to tighten skin and reduce fat. HiFU or high-intensity focused ultrasound can also treat the following issues: Abdomen fatPost-pregnancy tummyDroopy buttocksBingo wingsFlattened breastsSagging neck skinThick thighs‍Can HiFU cause fat loss?Regular HiFU treatments for fat loss have been proven to reduce areas of fat on the body, like the stomach for example. HiFU therapy breaks down and eliminates fat cells in the body, leading to a reduction in overall body fat. After HiFU treatment for fat loss, the treated area is visibly more lifted and tight; below the surface, fresh collagen production has been activated, and fat cells are destroyed. ‍Can I Have HiFU With Other Face & Body Treatments?HiFU is a popular non-invasive treatment to tone and lift the skin, and women and men are keen to combine it with other aesthetic and beauty treatments for maximum effect, but is that possible? Let’s take a look at some commonly asked questions about HiFU and other cosmetic treatments that tighten,

Does an IV Drip Make You Feel Better?

Leave a Comment / Este, News /

It’s time to discover a revolutionary solution that directly addresses your unique needs – the power of IV drip therapy.In this blog, we’re diving deep into the world of IV drips – the non-surgical, holistic treatment option that’s changing the game for wellness enthusiasts, busy professionals, and those managing chronic conditions alike. We’ll explore the answers to some commonly asked questions about IV drips, including what does an IV drip feel like, will I be feeling tired after an IV drip, and does an IV drip make you feel better? We’ll also explore conditions they help with, and their benefits beyond health. So, let’s discover why IV drips are helping our clients unlock their full potential for health and wellbeing! Commonly Asked IV Drip QuestionsWhat does an IV drip feel like?An IV drip is administered via a small needle inserted into a vein, typically in the arm. You may feel a slight pinch or during insertion, but discomfort is generally minimal. Once the drip begins, it can feel slightly cold as the solution flows through your bloodstream, delivering high doses of minerals, vitamins, amino acids, and antioxidants. You shouldn’t be feeling cold after the IV drip treatment has ended. Will I be feeling tired after an IV drip?Although how you feel after an IV drip will vary by person, you may experience mild fatigue as the treatment has triggered cellular metabolism which leads to increased energy production. This short-lived fatigue is often outweighted by the long-term benefits of nutrient replenishment and improved overall wellbeing. Are there any risks associated with IV drip therapy?IV drip therapy is safe and well-tolerated, but there are some potential risks to be aware of including bruising and tenderness at the injection site and the extremely rare chance of an allergic reaction. It’s essential to undergo IV drip therapy under the supervision of trained medical professionals who can monitor your response and ensure your safety throughout the process – like our brilliant Este Medical practitioners. Does an IV drip make you feel better?Absolutely! IV drips have been shown to provide relief and improve overall well-being for individuals dealing with a variety of health concerns. By bypassing the digestive system, IV drip therapy ensures maximum absorption of much needed nutrients and minerals that can alleviate your symptoms and help you start feeling like yourself again. What Health Concerns Can IV Drip Therapy Treat?IV drip therapy offers a truly innovative way to improve health conditions beyond traditional methods. Here are just a few of the conditions our IV therapy can help with, matched with the best suited IV drip available at Este Medical to treat it: Chronic Fatigue:Chronic fatigue is more than just feeling tired; it can significantly impact daily life, productivity, and overall well-being.

By replenishing vital nutrients and supporting cellular function, our Myers Cocktail IV drip helps combat fatigue and enhance overall energy levels. Migraines:Characterised by intense headaches, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound, migraines can have a significant impact on quality of life. Our Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) IV drip offers relief by targeting inflammation and oxidative stress, which are common triggers for migraine attacks. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that works to scavenge free radicals and reduce inflammation, alleviating migraine symptoms and promoting faster recovery. Nutritional Deficiency:Nutritional deficiency can manifest in various ways, ranging from fatigue and weakened immunity to poor skin health and impaired wound healing. Our Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) IV drip feels like a potent remedy that delivers a high concentration of vitamin C directly into the bloodstream. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant known for its immune-boosting properties and its role in collagen synthesis, promoting skin health and tissue repair. Weight Loss Issues:Struggling with weight management can be frustrating. Influenced by factors like metabolism and appetite regulation, difficulty achieving weight loss can be effectively addressed here at Este Medical. Packed with metabolism-boosting compounds such as L-Carnitine and Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), along with amino acids and antioxidants, our Skinny Drip IV therapy works to promote fat loss and improve energy expenditure while aiding in appetite control. If you’re feeling tired after this IV drip, don’t worry. The drip will have triggered cellular metabolism leading to increased energy production which can cause temporary fatigue. Toxin Overload:Over time, toxins can accumulate in the body from environmental pollutants, dietary choices, and lifestyle factors. Our Glutathione IV drip is specially formulated to detoxify and rejuvenate the body at a cellular level. By neutralising toxins, supporting liver function, and reducing oxidative stress, this IV drip can rid the body of harmful toxins and restore balance. Watch Dr Suzanne Wylie explain more about our Glutathione and Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) IV drips, and how they work together as an exceptional skin brightening treatment. Asthma and Allergies:Respiratory conditions like asthma and allergies can cause symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and nasal congestion. Our Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) IV drip offers relief by bolstering immune function and reducing inflammation, key factors in asthma and allergy management. As Vitamin C acts as a natural antihistamine, it modulates immune responses and works to alleviate allergic reactions. Fibromyalgia:Fibromyalgia is a complex condition characterised by widespread pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. Our Myers Cocktail IV drip infusion is enriched with essential nutrients such as magnesium and Vitamin B-complex, which play key roles in energy metabolism, muscle function, and stress management. By replenishing vital nutrients and promoting relaxation, the Myers Cocktail IV drip effectively alleviates symptoms of fibromyalgia to enhance overall well-being. What are the Benefits of IV Drips Beyond Health?While IV drips are renowned for their ability to address a variety of health concerns, their benefits extend far beyond physical wellness.

Does a HydraFacial Remove Blackheads?

Does a HydraFacial Remove Blackheads?

Leave a Comment / Skin /

A professional HydraFacial treatment is a popular all-in-one beauty and skincare treatment that addresses many skin concerns at once — including blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. If you want the best skin-safe results, it is much better to have your skin properly cleansed by skincare experts than using at-home treatments like pore strips. ‍The Benefits of a HydraFacial Blackheads TreatmentEven though HydraFacial has an amazing reputation for deep cleaning the skin, many people still don’t know how good it is for getting rid of blackheads. At Este Medical we do get people asking us during skincare consultations: Do hydrafacials get rid of blackheads? Yes! The good news is that hydrafacials do remove dirt and bacteria trapped in the pores. It is very effective at removing grim and deep cleaning the skin’s pores. You might say that hydrafacial and blackheads removal is the best skin therapy out there to treat acne. You will experience instant results with a professional HydraFacial skin treatment for blackheads. Have a look at the results — HydraFacial before and after blackheads!HydraFacial Before and AfterHydraFacial Before and AfterOur Este medical grade HydraFacial gives a deep clean using what feels like a mini vacuum cleaner to extract dirt and debris from the face (e.g., blackheads, whiteheads). The suction technology stimulates lymphatic draining to detoxify your skin and increase circulation beneath the skin’s surface. All this vacuuming brings pore clogging impurities (e.g., excess sebum, dead skin cells) to the surface which are then exfoliated away. ‍What Not To Do, When Getting Rid of Blackheads‍Don’t Squeeze!It is tempting to remove blackheads on your own, but it’s risky — as pushing or prying out blackheads with your nails or acne extractor devices you get at a beauty shop can damage the skin’s surface. And even worse, bacteria can be spread by your fingertips from squeezing blackheads and pimples. Blackheads don’t tend to respond well to at-home squeezing! ‍The Downside of Pore StripsAnother at-home treatment that gets attention when it comes to blackheads are pore strips. These over-the-counter beauty treatments are not as effective as a professional HydraFacial treatment. For example, the sticky surface of blackhead pore strips only latch on to the top part of the blackheads, but they don’t get deep down into the blackheads, so unfortunately most of the bacteria and oil gets left behind. You might believe they work in a pinch, but long-term these strips are not doing a great job and may cause you to spread acne causing bacteria to other areas of skin. ‍The Skin Benefits of a Professional HydraFacial!Does HydraFacial remove blackheads? Yes, and so much more! It can help with oily skin, an uneven complexion, dull looking skin, pigmentation, saggy skin, and wrinkles and fine lines. ‍HydraFacial is one of the best exfoliating, deep-cleaning, anti-ageing treatments available. Many skin problems like whiteheads, blackheads, persistent acne, uneven skin tone, pronounced wrinkles, and excessively oily skin are caused by not properly exfoliating and hydrating your skin — a HydraFacial can help fix these problems all in one treatment! ‍How does a HydraFacial treatment work? ‍‍Step 1:The treatment begins with a deep clean using what feels like a mini vacuum cleaner to extract blackheads and other skin clogging debris. This skin vacuuming step brings pore clogging impurities to the surface so they can be exfoliated away. Our clients love this stage and report that their skin has never felt cleaner! ‍Step 2:This step addresses surface texture, tone, and hydration. The skin is treated with a gentle solution containing glycolic acid and salicylic acid to refine the pores and surface texture. This is followed by another gentle solution with a combination of honey extract and salicylic acid to soothe and heal. It ends with a mix of antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid that plump and moisturise the skin. ‍Step 3:A LED light bath completes the treatment. This low-level light therapy has many skincare benefits; it stimulates production of collagen, reduces redness, helps eliminate acne-causing bacteria, and reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles. After a 1 hour Este Medical HydraFacial you will look radiate, and blackheads will be eliminated! Message us to book a Facial today at your nearest Este UK clinic.Last Updated: March 28, 2023
