ASK THE SKIN AND COSMETIC EXPERT Q, Hi, I am almost 40 and my skin is starting to age very quickly. What can I do to slow this down? Please help, Renee. A. Hi Renee, we are always helping people just like yourself, and one of the best places to start is with a good skin care range and a regular regime. We have some product ranges that our clients love. Beaute Pacifique is one of these and has an excellent range of anti-aging products that were developed by a Danish Doctor and Dermatologist. The company visit our clinic several times a year and offer free dermal scans to see how much collagen is in your epidermis. When you visit the clinic one of our medi cosmetic nurses will discuss what products would be best for your skin and talk you through the extensive range of treatments we provide. One of the treatments that would help your skin is Derma pen skin needling and we have two packages that will help tighten your skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and rejuvenate your skin by increasing collagen production. We use numbing cream before each treatment, so the pain is minimal. You will be a bit red for 24/48 hours, but the results are worth it. The first package includes 4 needling sessions with LED healite post procedure and a specially formulated product called Cebellia cream that immediately reduces redness and soothes the skin. We also have Jane Iredale BB cream that can cover the redness and help recovery if you need to get back to work. The second package is a more aggressive treatment called Factor4 which involves the collection of your blood, much like at the blood bank. This blood is then put in an incubator for six hours to increase the growth factors. After this it is spun down in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the blood. This plasma is then filtered to make a serum that is used in the needling process. This treatment package includes 4 needling sessions with your PRP serum, followed by LED healite post treatment, we also include a fantastic product from the Beaute Pacifique range to aid recovery. You will need a few days of down time and the treatment is very popular with clinics in Hollywood, you can google up pictures of Kim Kardashian post treatment looking very red faced, its also on our facebook page.

The needling in both procedures is done with a small derma pen that brushes over the skin and makes micro channels that send signals to collagen producing cells, the channels can also transport the serum, so you are using your own enhanced plasma to rejuvenate your skin. We recommend that you have each treatment 2-4 weeks apart for optimal results. You should see results after the first treatment, although you will find that your skin will continue to improve up to 6 months post your last session. You can head to our website
