You know those times when you’re stressed and suddenly your skin just isn’t itself?

More reactive.
More congested.
Drier.
Duller.
More sensitive.

When it comes to your skin, it’s another piece to the puzzle.

Your skin and nervous system are constantly communicating.

When your body is under ongoing stress, it can influence things like inflammation, your skin barrier, hydration and how well your skin repairs itself.

So sometimes, looking after your skin isn’t just about what you’re putting on it.

Because healthy skin isn’t just about treating what’s happening on the surface.

More to come…

This is something I’ve become really fascinated by.

Your skin is full of nerve endings, and those nerves are constantly communicating with your skin cells, including fibroblasts, which help produce collagen, elastin and other important components of healthy skin.

As we age, and with the effects of stress and everyday environmental damage, this communication can become disrupted, meaning it may not respond or recover as easily as it once did.

And this is where NEUROCOSMEDICS gets really interesting.

NEUROCOSMEDICS looks at the skin through the lens of Neuro-Aging and Inflammaging, with the goal of supporting the skin’s natural ability to recover and function well.

I honestly love learning about this because it makes me look at skin completely differently.

Pigmentation journey.

Here we have results from Dermapen micro-needling combined with targeted home care.

In particular we combined O COSMEDICS B3 Plus Serum & Skin Brightening Serum to support the management of pigmentation and help regulate pigment production.

We also assessed her skin using the Observ, which can help us see changes in pigmentation that aren’t always as obvious under normal lighting.

So far we can see a visible reduction in the intensity and distribution of pigmentation.

And we’re not finished yet.

This is why we take a personalised approach to pigmentation.

If pigmentation is something you’re wanting to improve, start with a Skin Discovery Facial and we’ll create your personalised Skin Solutions Plan.

Microneedling or spicules? Here’s what they actually feel like.

One of the questions we get asked the most is, “What’s the difference?”

Microneedling uses tiny sterile needles to stimulate your skin’s natural repair processes, helping rebuild the skin from within. During the treatment, there can be some discomfort, particularly over bony areas, but the treatment itself is quite quick. Afterwards, your skin usually feels like a mild sunburn for the first 24 hours. You may also notice a little tightness and light flaking over the next few days.

Spicule treatments are often described as being more comfortable than microneedling, but they’re not completely sensation-free. During the treatment you’ll feel the tiny spicules being worked into the skin, and it’s common to still feel them for up to 48 hours afterwards. Like microneedling, you may also experience some light shedding as your skin renews.

If you’re not sure which treatment is the best fit for your skin goals, we’re always happy to point you in the right direction.

We’ve opened just 8 introductory appointments at $129 (normally $179).

The Mindfulness Facial Ritual combines a professional skin treatment with sensory rituals, mindful touch and deep relaxation, leaving both your skin and your nervous system feeling rested.
