DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN ACHIEVE BETTER RESULTS FROM A COMBINATION OF TREATMENTS?

As we age, our skin begins to show the wear and tear of time. Age spots, fine lines and wrinkles seem to appear overnight, the texture of our skin changes and the colour appears more uneven. These changes are all caused by environmental factors such as sun exposure, lack of sleep, smoking and alcohol consumption. Many of us don’t think about caring for or protecting our skin in our youth and thus we don’t know what to do once ageing sets in. There is something you can do and studies have shown that a combination of treatments can achieve better results in your anti-ageing war!

At Assure Medispa, we a full range of non-surgical cosmetic treatments including:

• Beau Visage TM skin imaging

• Chemical Peel and Medi-facials
• Medical Skin Needling
• Microdermabrasion
• Photonlite Therapy (LED)
• Medical-grade skincare products
• Pharmaceutical grade Glo Minerals TM Makeup

We believe every person is different and has unique needs. Everyone is bothered by one aspect or another of their appearance, and we all have different skin. That is why we approach each client differently and devise a skincare prescription and combination treatment Medi-Plan specific to individual needs.

As a client at Assure Medispa, your initial appointment will be with a trained Medical Aesthetician, your skin will be analysed and photos taken. We will then discuss the different treatments or combination of treatments most likely to achieve the results you want.

What do we mean by combination treatment plan?
Studies have shown that a combination of treatments is more effective than having one treatment alone. Because our treatments are designed to treat specific concerns, with a combination plan, we can not only address your concerns but also work with you towards maintenance and protection from further damage.

For example, mature skin has lines and wrinkles as well as age spots and broken capillaries: we can address all of these concerns. Lines and wrinkles occur due to dehydration, sun damage and the fact that the skin loses collagen and elastin as it ages. Age spots are predominantly caused by sun damage, but may also occur as a result of hormonal changes that occur with pregnancy and menopause. By addressing the symptoms alone with only one form of treatment, you limit the results and the longevity of the results. Instead, we can combine treatments to address both the symptoms and the cause.

What treatments would we suggest?
After analysing your skin, we would suggest a homecare regime using medical grade skincare to prepare the skin for treatments. This will make the skin, healthier, thicker and acclimatise it to the different products to be used in the treatments. This limits the risk of adverse reactions or complications during the treatment and prolongs the treatment results. We would also suggest a physical sunblock to be used daily to protect your skin from any further damage.

To address fine lines and wrinkles, we might suggest a course of chemical peels or Medical Skin Needling specific to your skin type. By exfoliating the epidermis and allowing penetration of active ingredients into the dermis, we can thicken the skin and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. This will improve the health of your skin, increase the production of collagen and elastin, and also improve the texture and overall colour. We could also suggest wrinkle relaxants and dermal fillers. Our Registered Nurses are happy to answer any questions you may have regarding these.

To get rid of age spots, we might suggest a course of IPL Photorejuvenation. The LimeLight Facial is a new, non-invasive approach to IPL skin rejuvenation using Cutera’s LimeLight technology. The procedure offers the advantage of improving skin tone and the surface imperfections associated with aging and photodamage. Generally, you would need about 3 treatments but your age spots and broken capillaries will begin to fade after each treatment until they are a thing of the past!

If you have looseness of skin around the jowls and neck, we might recommend a course of Titan Skin Tightening treatments.

By combining treatments, we can address the cause of your skin concerns and also aid in improving your skin’s overall health so it is protected from further damage. Your Medical Aesthetician will also talk to you about maintaining your new look – all part of creating a Medi-Plan that works for you. This would include products to use at home.
You can win the anti-ageing war and create a new look for yourself which is more youthful and radiant.
