As we age, our skin starts to change. Whatever your life has endured – lazy days on the beach sun worshiping, outbreaks of our teen years, all those smiles and frowns. Fluctuating from our comfortable weight to our best self weight. All these life experiences have a lasting effect on our skin.

However good life is, these experiences can take their toll on our precious skin. Our skin protects us from the elements around us, so you can imagine the wear and tear!

You will be happy to know that these textural irregularities like wrinkles, acne scars, freckles and sunspots, can all be corrected with skin rejuvenation treatments.

These treatments have been developed to improve the appearance of your skin, including skin care maintenance regimes, treatments, and aesthetic procedures. The goal of all our skin rejuvenating treatments is to reveal younger, smoother skin.

One of the most common examples of skin rejuvenation is skin resurfacing, a method that refers to any treatment or procedure that will physically remove the top layer of skin. The goal of resurfacing is to remove damage cells on the skin’s surface with different techniques, including light treatments, heavy exfoliation and acids.

All our treatments vary in how invasive they are, some have little or no downtime, whereas others require a few days rest to allow your skin to recover (a great excuse for a couple of days in front of the tele, or reading that book you’ve always wanted to).

Take a look at our skin rejuvenation treatments or come and see us for a consultation where we can advice you on how to reach your goals.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning uses a painless blade to gently scrape away facial hair (often referred to as ‘peach fuzz’) and rids the skin of any build-up of dead skin cells, all which can contribute to making your skin look dull or uneven. This enhanced exfoliation technique, removes any barriers which would stop your skincare from penetrating – meaning your products often work much more effectively after a treatment.

Removal of vellus hair can allow make-up to sit more smoothly, give skin more of a glow. We recommend this treatment every 4-6weeks.

Microneedling

Microneedling (collagen induction therapy) involves using fine needles to create hundreds of tiny, invisible puncture wounds in the top layer of skin. The micro-injuries created stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, resulting in increased collagen and elastin production, which is the key to new, youthful-looking skin. Because of its ability to trigger the generation of new skin cells, dermatologists have found that a few sessions will noticeably reduce fine lines, crow’s feet, and deep wrinkles on the forehead.

Microneedling can also be used to reduce appearance of scars, blemishes, age spots, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, enlarged pores, acne and stretch marks.

Here at Sanctuary Aesthetics we use SkinPen Precision (the first FDA approved microneedling device.

We recommend this treatment every 6 weeks until you have reached your desired result.

Chemical Peel

Chemical peels (Glycolic Acid) are used to exfoliate the upper layer of skin. Acid dissolves excess sebum and dead skin cells, revealing smoother, brighter, and younger-looking skin.

Regular applications will even out your complexion, reduce blemishes and keep acne under control, as well as decrease fine lines and wrinkles. There’s little to no downtime and you’ll immediately look more glowing, dewy and refreshed.

LED Light Therapy

LED Light Therapy is a painless, relaxing treatment that plumps up aging skin by boosting collagen production and treats mild to moderate acne.  LED works by sending energy-producing packets of light into the deeper layers of the skin. These light rays jumpstart internal processes like circulation, collagen production and help to decrease inflammation in the body.

LED benefits tired, aging skin: it helps with the softening of lines, folds and wrinkles, healthier circulation, increased moisture and radiance, accelerated skin repair,  improved elasticity and skin texture, as well as stimulating the collagen process. Infrared LED light can also assist in the repair of acne and blemishes because it stimulates the skin’s natural healing process, and helps to kill bacteria caused by acne.

Cellular Benefits Include: Increased energy, increased circulation, increased nutrient transfer, decreased inflammation and acceleration of evacuation of waste and free radicals

Visible Benefits Include: Increase in collagen production, tightening of elastin layer, decrease in the appearance of pores, reduction of scars and blemishes and pigmentation

Clients should start to see improvements in their skin soon after their first treatment, but the results from cumulative sessions will be much greater.
