Summer Breeze

It’s coming! Summer is just around the corner…and in the run up to the big reveal on the beach, one of the most common requests is for cellulite reduction. We love Lipotripsy because it works to stimulate fat breakdown and it also increase collagen synthesis and lymphatic drainage – so as well as reducing fat, you are also helping increase circulation and removal of toxins, all of which help in the fight against cellulite. Radial waves from the probe, activate fat cell membranes and also increase blood flow. Fat leaks from the cells and is removed by the body. It can work on the thighs, buttocks and saddlebags, but also on the backs of arms too. You will need a course of treatments, so start early and be ready for the beach!

3D LipoMed is a fabulous combination treatment that can be tailored to suit your needs – it combines Ultrasound Cavitation and Cryolipolysis to physically destroy the fat cell which can then be eliminated from the body. Radio Frequency is also used to help tighten the skin which means that as well as reducing fat, skin laxity and crepey skin can be tackled – ideal for post pregnancy tummies and to help strengthen the skin which aids in reducing cellulite. 3D-Dermology can also be used to stimulate the lymphatic system to help drain fat from the body.

Hugely important at any time of the year, and even more so coming into Summer, is hydration – we can’t say it enough! Drink at least eight glasses of water a day and reduce caffeine which dehydrates the skin. Any treatment that aims to replace Hyaluronic Acid (a natural component of the skin that starts to deplete with age), needs water for optimal effect, so remember to stay hydrated! Treatments that we love in the clinic for giving the skin a real hydrating boost are Environ Hydraboost, which combines Hyaluronic Acid with vitamins A, C and antioxidants to target dryness and anti-ageing; Retinol Wow Peel that contains a combination of glycolic acid, retinol, vitamin C and peptides to rejuvenate and brighten the skin; the celebrity favourite, Hydrafacial  combining cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection in one incredible treatment to give clearer, hydrated and beautiful skin.

…and don’t forget….always use an SPF on the face and hands…we recommend the Heliocare Gel SPF 50.
