Out with the Old, In with the New – Happy New Year 2018!

Now, usually at the start of the year, we’re advocating the start of a ‘new you’ in the form of healthy eating and exercise. We still think you should probably do that, after all, it will do us all some good. BUT, we’ve decided to take a new approach to our new year’s resolution and it involves minimal effort on our part.  What are we on about?? Well, we’re going to let someone else do the hard work while we lie there and relax. It’s a notoriously quiet period for salons and so we know there are bound to be some great offers about to take advantage of. What treatments then?

Well, we’re going to let someone else do the hard work while we lie there and relax. It’s a notoriously quiet period for salons and so we know there are bound to be some great offers about to take advantage of.

What treatments then?

As you may already know we offer a range of facials that guarantee to leave you feeling and looking better. For those who don’t know, here’s a bit about the treatments SkinBase offers.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion uses micro-crystals to exfoliate the skin and reveal younger, healthier looking skin.  The skin’s appearance is further improved through increased collagen & elastin production.  Microdermabrasion treats a variety of skin related problems. These include; acne and acne scarring, dull and tired skin, pigmentation, blemishes and fine lines and wrinkles.

IPL

Not just hair reduction, IPL is a great rejuvenating treatment. IPL uses wavelengths of light to target skin concerns including excess hair, thread veins, acne and pigmentation. The light is filtered to target the correct skin issue. A photorejuvenation treatment using IPL will target age spots and stimulate collagen production to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. A cooling handset ensures a comfortable experience and with minimal side effects you can carry on with your day as normal afterwards. You can find out more about the different IPL treatments here.

Radio Frequency

During Radio Frequency treatment, the therapist applies a gel to the skin and a ceramic wand heats the skin to 40 degrees. This is the temperature required for the skin to produce more collagen. Radio Frequency offers immediate skin tightening, wrinkle removal, and jowl lifting results. A Radio Frequency facial treats the entire face (including the eye area) and neck. RF is also an effective body treatment for lifting and tightening. A growing network of salons now offer this treatment. Celebrity fans of RF treatments include; Amanda Holden, Nicole Scherzinger and Spice Girl Mel B. This is one celebrity facial certain to stay around.
