If you follow my blog/twitter/instagram/have the joy of knowing me in person, then you will know I am completely and utterly OBSESSED with skincare - facials, products, supplements - you name it, if it promises to improve my skin, I want to know more about it. Thanks to my brand spanking new job and running this Blog I'm lucky enough to be able to try some fantastic treatments and products and to pick the brains of some ultimate skincare-gurus - the ones who really know their stuff! So you will be seeing numerous 'Skincare Series' posts from moi and I hope you like them and that they help you on your quest to improve your skin. First up is Dr Kersh at the KX Spa who I have had the utter delight of chatting to on numerous occasions and now have a skincare must-have-purcahse-list (Skinceuticals and Malvina Skincare FYI - will report back after payday purchases have been made) as well as an appointment scheduled for her signature three-step-facial. Here's what makes it so fan-tabulous...
Highly customizable and
with incredibly powerful results, Dr Kersh’s signature three-step facial
utiises a combination of hydration, mesotherapy and dermapen to attain subtle
results that lead to a fresh, rejuvenated appearance.
1) Hydration
As we age, skin loses
vital properties that help it recover from daily stresses and maintain youthful
appearance. In particular, skin loses hyaluronic acid, resulting in dry and
lacklustre skin. Hyaluronic acid acts as the glue between cells and can hold up
to one thousand times its own weight in moisture, making it the most powerful
and hydrating water-soluble compound known. When injected, it gradually
replenishes the moisture levels deep in the dermis. Fine superficial lines are
diminished leaving a more plump, smooth and youthful look to the treated area.
2) Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is a
painless injection treatment that delivers a completely customisable cocktail
of nourishing substances to the layers of the skin where cell repair and growth
occurs. Vitamins, nutrients, amino-acids, minerals, hyaluronic acid, all
essential components for healthy skin cells, can be delivered by mesotherapy.
During your initial consultation Dr Kersh will be able to ascertain exactly
what your skin needs and provide a prescriptive mesotherapy treatment designed
specifically for your skin. This treatment helps improve dull, tired looking
skin, dry, lifeless skin and superficial wrinkles.
3) Dermapen (aka micro-needling - I LOVE ME A BIT OF MICRO NEEDLING)
Minimally invasive,
Dermapen can be performed on all skin colors and types, as well as on any area
of the body. Faster, less painful (THANK GOD) more effective and with less downtime than
the Dermaroller (brownie points for the dermapen!) the Dermapen creates numerous ultra-fine puncture wounds over
the treatment area which stimulates the body’s natural healing process,
prompting the natural release of the skin’s collagen and elastin for amazing
anti-aging benefits. This type of skin needling collagen induction therapy can
be used for skin tightening, lifting and rejuvenation, acne scars and wound
healing, improvement in wrinkles and fine line, pigmentation, stretch marks and
minimising pore size
Dr Kersh’s signature
three-step-facial can be further enhanced with a wide variety of advanced
aesthetic treatments offered in her Aesthetic and Age Management Clininc
including: dermal fillers, microdermabrasion, lightwave light therapy,
anti-wrinkle treatments and handpicked premium skincare.
