In this month’s highlights, we’re casting a spotlight on some of the best ways to address blemishes, warts, thread veins and pigmentation issues, to give you beautiful, clear skin this summer. After all, in this country, we need to make the most of the good weather and get as much vitamin D as possible, and that means getting our skin out!
Banish Blemishes
Warts, moles and skin tags can be unsightly, annoying, and make you feel self-conscious when your skin’s on show. Did you know that most can be removed within a matter of minutes under a local anaesthetic? It’s not like it used to be, back when you had to go to a GP’s surgery - now you can perk up your skin in a beautiful, salon-like environment. Much more pleasant!
Target Thread Veins
Up to 60% of adults have thread veins or spider veins on the face, legs or body - but there’s no reason not to get rid of them if you dislike their appearance. There are 2 main treatments for thread veins - Sclerotherapy involves injecting a special liquid through a tiny needle into the vein, causing it to collapse and fade.
Alternatively, IPL is a laser therapy that works on veins that are too small even for the tiny needles. The laser causes heat, which destroys the vessels and lets them be reabsorbed into the body. Plus the treatment improves the overall appearance of the skin, for a double whammy!
Keep your Colour
Pigmentation can be a stressful condition, leaving darker patches of skin on your face, hands or body. Age spots, melasma - or the “mask of pregnancy” - and even unwanted freckles can be treated in different ways, to give you skin that retains its natural colour.
Dermamelan is a strong topical cream that is designed to treat stubborn pigmentation problems - it’s the gold standard, plus it rejuvenates the skin, for an extra bonus. IPL Skin Rejuvenation is another treatment that targets pigmentation patches to restore beautiful skin in a flash.
If you’re looking for a daily-use skin care regime to help, we use ZO Skin Care. They’re professional, aesthetic products with medical level effects, and there are plenty of options for pigmentation reduction.
