5 Steps to Smooth Summer Skin
Summer is just around the corner, and will be upon us before we know it!
To help you prepare for your best summer yet we’ve put together the five steps to smoother, clearer looking skin.
1. Laser hair removal
If you’re planning on spending any time on a beach this summer you will want your legs looking their smoothest.
Using our medical grade Nd:YAG laser we can safely and effectively remove hair on any skin type. However, you’ll need to start your treatments soon as a course of 6-8 treatments is recommended for the best results!

Who can you trust with laser hair removal?
With the rise of social-buying sites like Groupon and Living Social we’re all used to seeing Laser Hair Removal offered at rock-bottom prices, but BEWARE! Take the time to check who is offering the treatment and whether it will actually work! The service being offered is often ineffective and in the wrong hands dangerous!
How do they get away with it?
Salons and beauticians offering Laser Hair Removal will normally be using an IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) system. It is less powerful and not a medical grade laser so many people complain about unsatisfactory results, as well as a hole in their pocket.
As it is far less effective people end up having 15 or more treatments, with little to no hair reduction. To make matters worse it can also be dangerous for people with dark skin, often leaving them with loss of pigment, keloid scars and in severe cases infected blisters!
Eczema triggers – a comprehensive list
Eczema is a common skin condition, affecting one in nine people in the UK. It is characterised by red, itchy skin which becomes dry and
In severe cases eczema can become raw and even bleed. This can cause great discomfort and distress to the sufferer.cracked in appearance.
There are two main categories of eczema;
Atopic Eczema sufferers are simply prone to developing eczema due to their genetics. People with Atopic eczema are far more likely to have Asthma, Hayfever and Allergies as they share many of the same genetic markers.
Contact Dermatitis is caused by irritations and allergens coming into contact with the skin, which in turn can trigger eczema. There are many types of triggers and it is also dependant on how they come into contact with the individual.

The most effective clinical laser around
We use the only laser proven to work safely and effectively on all skin types and skin colours, the Nd:YAG laser. Other lasers can carry higher risks of burning and hyperpigmentation and do not guarantee effective results.
Hyper-pigmentation
If you find parts of your face are becoming darker than others, especially around the forehead, apples of the cheeks and jawline you most likely have hyper-pigmentation.
What is hyper-pigmentation?
Hyper-pigmentation describes any disorder where the melanocytes (Melanin pigment-producing cells in the skin) have become over-active and are producing too much pigment, causing a patchy or un-even appearance in skin tone.
It has been scientifically proven that un-even skin tone makes a person look much older and less attractive than they really are.
The seven deadly signs of ageing
We think there are too many things that can make you appear older than you really are, so we put together a list of the seven most wicked signs of ageing; and how to fight back against them!
1. Un-even skin tone
Causes:
With age pigment builds up in the layers of the skin, leaving the skin with a patchy and un-even appearance. This usually results from insufficient sun screen during early life but can have other causes such as fluctuating hormone levels.
Un-even skin tone is one of the biggest factors which will make someone look a lot older than they really are, regardless of wrinkles. This has in fact been proven in two scientific studies.
Flawless Wedding Day Skin
Makeup artists commonly struggle with brides who suffer from Acne, Scarring and Pigmentation relying on their expertise to conceal these skin issues to give them a flawless complexion.
If you want to dazzle on your wedding day you need to make sure your skin is at its best before you spend hundreds on a makeup artist!

Why you should wear sun screen every day
The effect of the Sun’s rays is something that people in the UK are underestimating, at their peril!
Because the bad effects take a long time to materialise it is hard to see a direct relationship between sun exposure and bad skin. Much like seeing the link between smoking or drinking too much and chronic disease.
Most of the damage caused by UV exposure happens before we are 20 and the full extent of the damage can take up to 30 years to become evident. This is why it is vitally important to protect your children’s skin from the sun, and your own.
