SKIN Goals
From enlarged pores to fine lines or irritating breakouts (monthly or otherwise!), most of us have niggling skin concerns we’d like to banish forever. Don’t fret – book yourself in for one of these targeted clinical facials instead. Your complexion will t
Transdermal Therapy
This two- step facial rejuvenation session aims to brighten skin and increase cellular turnover.
The experience:
The session starts with microdermabrasion, which helps skin to absorb products faster, promotes the healthy exfoliation of dead cells and scar tissue, and stimulates cell regeneration. Next, an ampoule of retinol is massaged into the skin using a transdermal hand-piece. Dermoelectroporation (the use of reversed polarity small electric pulses) pushes the retinol deeper into the skin.
The treatment will immediately brighten your complexion and diminish pore-size. Look forward to fewer breakouts as you go for the treatment at bi-monthly or monthly intervals, depending on your skin’s condition.
The experience: Tailored Chemical Peel
Plagued by breakouts and dullness? A chemical peel could be the quick and easy solution you need. The sophisticated peels of today exfoliate the outer layers of the skin to reveal a smoother and brighter visage, together with encouraging the rebuilding of collagen stores and promoting cellular regeneration. At Cutis, you can choose a peel that’s tailored to your needs. Anti Acne unclogs pores, Vitality evens out skin tone, while Crystal brightens dull skin. Each session starts with a thorough cleansing and toning routine using the clinic’s in-house product line. Your eye area is then covered and protected with wet cotton pads, and the peel is applied to the face. The intensity is increased as each layer is applied at two- to three-minute intervals. After this has been removed, you’re treated to a soothing face mask, followed with moisturiser and sunscreen. For the most visible improvement, at least three monthly sessions are recommended.
3 Days to Instant Youth
Promising fresher, younger-looking skin, this intensive fivestep treatment uses a mix of aesthetic technologies and highperforming skincare products, and is repeated once daily for three days. Enjoy three times the skin-rejuvenating benefits as compared with a one-off treatment, and you can expect to see continued improvement in your skin for up to four months.
The experience:
First off, radiofrequency is applied to heat up your skin to the temperature that’s most conducive for collagen stimulation, making it tighter and firmer. Next, the Eladerm Lederma Booster, a micro-needling device, is used to stimulate the deeper layers of your skin to promote elastin production, as well as prep skin for the next step: intensive rejuvenation using the Eladerm Cosmeled Le Sérum, which boosts cellular turnover. LED Photomodulation is then performed; this painless and noninvasive treatment uses cold light to activate new collagen formation and reduce dark spots. The session ends with the aesthetician smoothing moisturiser onto the skin. If you love the results, you can sustain your refreshed look by repeating the three-day programme every two to six months.
The experience: Fraxel Dual Laser
This gentle, non-invasive laser treatment radically reduces fine lines, acne scars and pigmentation. An hour after the application of a topical anaesthetic cream, two fractional lasers in a single session are applied to the skin; one wavelength treats deep lines and acne scarring, while the other removes superficial pigmentation. The laser energy also encourages skin-cell turnover and the production of new collagen. Three to five sessions at intervals of three to four weeks are recommended for the best results. It’s common to experience some slight tightness and visible redness in the treated areas, but this disappears after two to three days. A maintenance treatment after six to nine months is recommended.
Lumenis OPT (Optimal Pulse Technology)
You can reverse skin ageing and sun damage with this IPL treatment, which targets pigmentation, rosacea (redness) and broken capillaries. It can also be used to treat areas of sun damage on other parts of the body, like the neck, arms and legs.
The experience:
In this gentle skin rejuvenation procedure, controlled light pulses penetrate skin tissue and apply controlled destruction to imperfections. What’s more, it takes less than 20 minutes! Take note that any sunspots treated will initially darken and become more visible, before they are naturally shed after about five to seven days, leaving you with fresh-looking, renewed skin. For best results, a monthly session for six months is suggested; after that, a maintenance session every four to six months.
