If this new year you are focussing on self-care and setting some skin goals you might want to know more about Obagi’s Hydrate Luxe… Here Obagi tells us all about their super skin nourishing product.

Have you ever heard of a circadian rhythm? It’s the physical, mental and behavioural changes in your body that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle, such as your sleeping schedule. What you may not realise is that many of your skin functions also follow a circadian rhythm. While you may begin to unwind in the evening, your skin is hard at work and actually increases its renewal and metabolic functions at night.

Consider these cycles in your skin’s functions that may influence its texture, radiance, and overall appearance:

• Cell proliferation peaks at midnight, and is lowest at noon
• Blood flow is 25% lower at night
• Oil production by skin glands is higher midday at noon
• Skin pH is more acidic during sleep

Obagi offers a product engineered to complement your skin’s natural nightly functions. Just as the name suggests, this luxuriously rich face cream is extra-moisturising and contains ingredients to keep your skin looking and feeling supple and firm.

Packed with many of the same great naturally derived ingredients as the Obagi Hydrate Facial Moisturiser, like shea butter, mango butter, and avocado, Hydrate Luxe also contains additional powerful ingredients engineered to work with the chronobiology of the skin and to provide ultra-rich moisturisation including:

Biomimetic peptides. A technology that complements your skin’s nightly renewal and metabolic functions to support the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in mature skin.

Hydromanil. A key ingredient in the Hydrate Facial Moisturiser, this technologically advanced ingredient provides not only immediate moisturisation but gradual moisture delivery by retaining water in the layers of your skin and continuously releasing them for 8-hour moisture protection!

You can apply Obagi Hydrate Luxe in the evening to combat skin dryness overnight, as well as any time deep moisturisation is needed and is perfect for these dry winter months we are facing.

You may have seen celebrities like J-Lo, Jesy Nelson and Jade Thirlwall raving about it, or seen one our videos of the treatment itself on our Facebook and  Instagram, and wondered what could possibly be so life-changing about a facial? Well, everything.

Envy Facial is a non-surgical skin-resurfacing treatment, for face and body, delivered using state of the art equipment.

It’s not just a facial, it’s an incredibly versatile treatment. As well as providing amazing results for facial skin, it can be used to target a broad range of concerns all over the body including;

• Hyperpigmentation

• Acne

• Blocked pores

• Dehydrated skin

• Skin laxity

• Wrinkles

• Fine lines

• Rosacea

Benefits:

Envy facial is the only face and body skin-resurfacing treatment which gently yet effectively exfoliates damaged skin cells and delivers a serum infusion, resulting in beautiful skin.

With breakthrough advanced three-in-one technology ENVY simultaneously exfoliates, extracts, and infuses the skin to deliver a healthy, radiant, and rejuvenated look.

The ENVY facial is an all-in-one treatment that can be used on the body, as well as the face, chest and back. This treatment deeply and effectively cleans, repairs, and stimulates the skin, encouraging lymphatic drainage to expel a build-up of toxins and pollutants.

What can you expect from the treatment?

Each treatment is individual to your skin’s unique needs; following a consultation and analysis, we deliver a fully personalised and non-invasive treatment.

The treatment combines three stages, exfoliation, extraction, and infusion. Exfoliation uses a real diamond tip to give an even exfoliation across your skin and clears away dryness and damage from the skin’s top layer.

Then patented closed-looped vacuum pressure is used to extract dirt, debris and bacteria from the skin’s surface, as Envy infuses condition-specific serum through the pores into the skin’s layers, leaving it immediately hydrated and refreshed, with ongoing benefits and improvements in texture which continue to develop after treatment.

At the end of the treatment you will also be able to see the dead skin, dirt, and grime that we’ve removed, in a clear jar.

The ENVY Facial offers immediate and long-term solutions for multiple skin concerns. There are several condition-specific serums, minerals and vitamins that will be tailored to your skin’s needs. We can treat all skin types and even the most sensitive skins can get a great result and see the benefits of ENVY.

This treatment is ideal for injecting some energy into dull winter skin and now is the perfect time to take a moment for this kind of self-care as the days get colder and the nights draw in. We currently have a 6 Envy Facial Course available for the price of 4, which can be enjoyed as a treat once we are allowed to reopen safely.

There’s nothing better than settling down for the evening with Netflix, and even better if the show you’re watching is all about one of your passions. For us at Dermoperfection, Skin Decision: Before & After, is exactly that show.

We love how it so effortlessly demonstrates not only the capability of the non-surgical treatments we offer to transform patients physically and to enhance their natural beauty, but also how these courses of treatment have the power to dramatically change people’s lives.

One of the treatments we have seen used on the show time and time again is High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU). In the show we see this used to treat significant scarring, we see it used to regenerate facial skin and give a youthful appearance, and much more.

At Dermoperfection we use ULTRAcel Q+, it works 3 times faster than other treatments of this kind making it super comfortable and ensuring much quicker treatment times for your convenience. It works by using focused ultrasound energy to target the layers of skin just below the surface, causing the tissue to heat up rapidly. This heating causes controlled damage to the cells in this area which stimulates them to repair, and to produce more collagen (a protein naturally present in the skin, which provides structure); increased collagen production delivers firmer, tighter skin.

Dermoperfection is the only clinic in the midlands to offer this much-in-demand, cutting edge treatment.

HIFU can be used for the following, and much more;

• Non-surgical facelift
• Non-surgical brow lift
• Facial rejuvenation
• Reducing the appearance of scarring
• Tightening skin
• Improving skin texture (e.g. cellulite, sagging)

We can’t express enough just how transformational this treatment can be when applied by a clinical expert. If there’s any concern with your skin that’s knocking your confidence or that hasn’t responded to other methods, we would love to invite you in for a free consultation to discuss how HIFU can work for you.

As well as HIFU we offer an extensive range of services and treatment plans that can be tailored for a Skin Decision style transformation of your own; click here to book your virutal consultation with one of Dermoperfection’s expert skin clinicians today.

SO, WHAT IS PROFHILO?

Profhilo is an injectable treatment containing one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid it’s possible to get, designed specifically for people whose skin lacks volume and elasticity. If you’re looking to restore that plump, juicy glow to your skin, Profhilo should be on your radar.

What does it treat?

• Skin laxity
• Skin texture
• Facial rejuvenation
• Neck (lines and creases)
• Décolletage (creasing between breasts)
• Upper arms (bingo wings)
• Tighten abdomen
• Tighten thighs

Plus, much more…

Benefits

This product is one of the purest and most natural forms of Hyaluronic Acid treatment available and works with the skin’s own cells; it’s not mixed with anything artificial that could reduce that overall Hyaluronic Acid concentration and it stimulates the skin’s healing and improvement. It’s the first BDDE free injectable filler and there is no other product quite like it.

With one of the highest concentrations of Hyaluronic Acid on the market it not only boosts and hydrates the skin, but also remodels ageing and sagging tissue. Profhilo delivers great results as a treatment on its own or in combination with other non-surgical treatments.

As a stabilised product Profhilo lasts in the skin for around 28 days. During this time, the stimulation of four different types of collagen and elastin takes place by slow release of Hyaluronic Acid. The stimulation results in significant tissue improvement, that in turn results in a visible tightening and lifting effect on the skin.

Profhilo is very biocompatible, causing minimal inflammation and as such is comfortable for the patient both during and after treatment. It also provides hydration to the skin giving an overall glow in addition to the treatment of specific concerns.
