F5 SPECIALIST SKIN TREATMENTS pdf SPECIALIST - PROFESSIONAL SKIN TREATMENTS MICRO-DERMABRASION Crystal Clear Micro-dermabrasion gives immediate and visible results for open pores, black heads, and pigmentation. Skin scarred from blemishes and acne, ageing skin, fine lines and wrinkles also benefit from this treatment. You’ll see the difference after just one treatment; however, for more problematic skin, a course of treatments may be required to achieve maximum effects. With regular treatments, the skin increases its collagen and elastin formation, giving a naturally firmer and rejuvenated appearance. How does it work? Using a controlled method of skin resurfacing, the Micro-dermabrasion machine gently exfoliates the outer dead layers of skin with tiny crystals which are then vacuumed away. CHROMA THERAPY (LIGHT THERAPY) is used in combination with a professional facial treatment on the face and neck. The LED lights stimulate the skin’s cells to change and the four colours used promote different reactions to either stimulate the circulation and lymphatic flow, or to calm and decongest areas. LED therapy is a safe, painless and non-invasive procedure that activates skin cells with pulses of low level, non-thermal light energy.

Directing coloured light towards the face can encourage physical healing. LED light produce a diffuse and uniform light that penetrates deeply without damaging the tissues. Used with the “active” ingredients of skin care products during a facial, cell energy production is increased, therefore enabling the cell to absorb the ingredients of the products.
