NEW! A-lift
The A-lift is a 12 week programme that is non-invasive and pain free. Reveal your inner glow and brings back that youthful appearance to your skin. The A-lift treatment works by stimulating the underlying structures of the skin. This is achieved by giving the skin its own work-out, similar to how you would tone and tighten the body with exercise. The DANNÉ muscle banding technique is used in the A-lift to tighten and tone the skin restoring a healthy youthful appearance. Give your skin a work over!

Most wrinkles are associated with aging changes in the skin. As aging occurs, a person's skin cells divide more slowly, and the inner skin, or dermis, starts to thin. Fat cells beneath the dermis begin to atrophy, and the underlying network of elastin and collagen fibres, which provides scaffolding for the surface layers, loosens and unravels. Over time skin loses its elasticity and when pressed, it no longer springs back to its initial position but instead sags and forms furrows, or wrinkle lines.
Frown lines (those between the eyebrows) and crow's feet (lines that radiate from the corners of the eyes) appear because of persistent small muscle contractions. Habitual facial expressions also form characteristic lines, contributing to the formation of jowls and drooping eyelids.

As we age, the skin degenerates and breaks down. It loses collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, resulting in wrinkles and sagging of the skin.
The degenerative effect of aging causes the skin to lose moisture known as trans epidermal water loss this results in an impaired acid mantle and compromised structural integrity of the skin. The decline in natural oil production or sebaceous flow effects skin hydration, thickness and quality of the matrix. Turgidity and firmness. Both outcomes of aging are major influencing factors affecting ones appearance.
