25.01.2022 Retinol is the active ingredient in our popular Facelove Skin Vitamin A Collagen Stimulator. Retinol stimulates cell generation by sinking down into the dermis where it increases the number of blood vessels. This leads to a higher production of elastin, which means less wrinkles, sun spots, a thicker dermis, smaller pores and less age spots. Further, faster cell generation also means that the cells in the top most layer of your skin are exchanged more quickly. This gives your... skin a healthy glow and a more youthful appearance. Retinol has been used by dermatologists to treat numerous conditions for more than fifty years; it provides so many benefits to the skin and is a trusted by professionals the world over. Stay safe - we can't wait to see you!

24.01.2022 What is a 'Light Resurfacing Peel'? After a consultation and skin assessment with one of our practitioners, the most suitable peel is chosen based on your skin's particular needs. Our three most popular peels are- Lactic 30% Our lightest peel which is ideal for sensitive skin and conditions such as rosacea.... Power Peptide Formulated with powerful skin bio stimulators, this peel is tailored for anti-ageing and associated concerns such as fine lines. Power Pumpkin Designed to meet the needs of those with hormonal acne breakouts, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, sun-damaged and textured skin.

24.01.2022 As we age, our skin loses collagen and elastin resulting in overall thinner and less resilient skin. Fortunately, it also has an amazing ability to regenerate and heal wounds. In other words, when the skin is injured, it produces new collagen to heal the damage. We take advantage of this regenerative capacity with the Dermapen by penetrating the skin with tiny needles over and over very quickly to create many tiny wounds. New collagen and new skin cells are then created to he...al the resulting damage. Further, Dermapen treatments can also help address acne scars caused by cystic acne and pimples. With severe acne scarring, the skin is left somewhat pitted and uneven. In the same way that the Dermapen improves the appearance of aging skin, that increased collagen and elastin also helps to reduce acne scars. You can see why it is also called ‘Collagen Induction Therapy’ - the Dermapen quite literally encourages your skin to create more collagen and new skin cells by causing tiny amounts of trauma. For the best results, we recommend between 4 and 8 sessions, 4 weeks apart. For more information, see our website - https://facelove.com.au/p/dermapen-skin-needling-treatment/

20.01.2022 WHAT IS IT? Hyaluronic acid (or HA) is a sugar found naturally in our skin that holds water and helps keep it hydrated and plump. The HA within our bodies holds a thousand times its weight in water to not only retain all that moisture in our skin and joints HA IS A POWERFUL HUMECTANT ... When used in skin care products like creams and serums, hyaluronic acid brings moisture to the surface of your skin. Because of its ability to draw and hold water, it can be used as a humectant in your skin care regimen. Check the labels of your favourite skincarechances are you're already using it in some form or another. As a topical product, as long as it is in the right formulation, it will make the skin appear more dewy and younger because it improves skin elasticity Hyaluronic acid plays well with most other ingredients and can be paired with peels, retinols, vitamins, and other acids. SO WHAT ARE HA INJECTABLES? The Dermal Filler Injectables we use a at Facelove are a gel form of hyaluronic acid and are used to add volume to the dermal layer of the skin. The gel plumps sunken areas, smooths fine lines, and decreases shadows. https://facelove.com.au/product-category/skin-care/

13.01.2022 1 | SPF = SUN PROTECTION FACTOR The SPF of a sunscreen is a measure of how well it protects the skin from sunburn. Many are surprised to learn that SPF50+ only offers marginally better protection than SPF30. SPF50+ filters out 98% of UVB radiation, while SPF30 blocks out 96.7% of UVB. 2 | WHAT ABOUT THE + SIGN?... The plus sign means 'more than'. For example, SPF50+ sunscreen must provide at least SPF60 in testing. This is because the same batch of sunscreen will test slightly differently in different laboratories with different methodology. By testing at SPF60, it removes any margin for error. 3 | WHAT DOES BROAD SPECTRUM MEAN? Broad-spectrum sunscreens filter both UVA and UVB rays. UVB is the major cause of sunburn and increased skin cancer risk, while UVA contributes to ageing of the skin, as well as higher skin cancer risk. 4 | FACELOVE’S PICK Aspect Sun Envirostat ‘On the Go’ SPF50 see the link below for more information https://facelove.com.au//aspect-sun-envirostat-on-the-go-/

13.01.2022 This product is an exfoliating cleanser that uses a combination of AHA’s and BHA’s, gently removing dead skin cells and decongesting pores, revealing softer, fresher and brighter skin. Containing 6% lactic acid plus 3% glycolic acid and 3% salicylic acid, the benefits to your skin include: -Thorough cleansing and removal of makeup -Preparation of the skin, allowing for better penetration of serums and creams -PreventIon of dead skin cell build up... Clinical studies show that exfoliation is directly proportional to the duration of application, and the concentration of both AHAs and BHAs is extremely important.

12.01.2022 Now that we're well into Spring, and with easing lockdown restrictions (hopefully), it's a great time of year to ensure you're wearing a light facial sunscreen daily. Even when the UV index is low, the sun can still cause damage to your skin over time. https://facelove.com.au//aspect-sun-envirostat-on-the-go-/

10.01.2022 Niacinamide, or Vitamin B3, is the go-to active cosmeceutical component for all skin types. The top five benefits of it are - -Reduces oil production by inhibiting the flow of oil to the skin's surface -Reduces the flushing and blushing associated with rosacea as it is anti-inflammatory -Inhibits the transfer of pigment to skin cells, therefore reducing dark spots... -Improves the appearance of ageing skin as it is an antioxidant that also aids in sun protection together with regular sunscreen use -Is entirely non-irritating and therefore safe to use on sensitive skins See our 10% Niacinamide Vitamin B Serum below - https://facelove.com.au/p/facelove-skin-10-vitamin-b-serum/ Stay safe - we can't wait to see you!

08.01.2022 The liquid lift is a non-surgical, dermal filler-based approach to an uplifted and rejuvenated face (like a facelift but with no scalpels, phew!) It is easy to maintain, requires little downtime and can last between 12 and 18 months! When I treat a face, I almost see it as a canvas; each feature is related to every other feature and in order to create youthful, beautiful and natural-looking results I always have to consider how a change to one area will affect another, s...ays Cindy. The way that I approach each treatment is to develop a sort of collaboration with what my patient sees and wants, my aesthetic ideals as an experienced injector and the safest and most up to date medical knowledge available. For the best results possible, we spread the liquid lift across several appointments. This allows us to continually assess the progress of the treatment provided, in addition to hearing and applying patient feedback. As always, we are more than happy to answer your questions regarding the Liquid Lift or our numerous other treatment options on 1300 458 491 or else at [email protected]

08.01.2022 Despite heading into the warmer and sunnier months, many Melbournians may find themselves not spending as much time outside as normal due to the (seemingly never-ending) lockdown conditions. Consequently, many of us may find that we become vitamin D deficient. But what is Vitamin D? Surprisingly, it is actually a hormone responsible for controlling calcium levels in the blood -among other things. Out of the 13 core vitamins our body needs to stay healthy and thrive, vitamin ...D is the trickiest to absorb. While we only need very little, this vitamin is necessary for bone strength. Unlike the 12 other essential, organic compounds, vitamin D differs in the following ways: -It is produced in the body -It is absent from most natural foods -When the body does obtain vitamin D from food, it must be transformed by the body before it can do any good What About the Sun? UV radiation from the sun is necessary for the production of vitamin D in the skin. However, how much UV exposure a person needs depends on the time of year, UV levels, their skin type and their existing vitamin D levels. Here are some simple ways to get the vitamin D your body needs to keep your skeleton strong while eliminating skin cancer risk: -Vitamin D Supplements: Your doctor can recommend the daily amount needed if necessary -Fortified Foods: One can only eat so much fish and egg yolk -Look for foods that are fortified with vitamin D Take home message: no need to ditch the SPF - diet and supplements are sufficient sources of vitamin D!

07.01.2022 This skin-perfecting treatment (also sometimes known as the Hollywood Peel or China Doll Peel) gives noticeably radiant, glowing skin after just one treatment with immediate smoothing, refining and plumping qualities. How does the treatment work? Your clinician will apply a medical-grade black carbon mask to cleansed and exfoliated skin. ... This carbon peel will bind to the skin and penetrate deep into pores and fine lines of the face. The next stage of treatment utilises laser light which is attracted to the carbon. The light painlessly blasts or pops the top layers of the skin and carbon, leaving refined, polished and radiant skin as a result. This can be a stand-alone treatment for an instant pick me up or otherwise as part of a course ranging from 4 to 8 treatments - depending on the concern being treated. https://facelove.com.au//carbon-laser-peel-china-doll-peel/
