laser treatments can damage the skin long term

28/8/2019

 
Laser may look great in the short term but in the long run you are damaging your skin and it will age faster.

The reason for this is that laser destroys the dermal and epidermal junction. This means when the skin grows back the anchors holding the skin together are completely obliterated. In 5-10 years time the dermis and epidermis begin to separate and you end up with sagging skin.

Think of it like this. You are literally burning your skin. Any new skin that grows back will not be as strong as it previously was and can easily be damaged.

Chemical Skin Peels

21/8/2019

 
Chemical peels are performed by many Beauty Therapists and Doctors. At Bushland Beauty, I don’t believe in them. To me they are treating a symptom and not a cause. Therefore, in my eyes they are not holistic, and therefore don’t fit with my philosophy on skin.

The idea that removing skin cells fixes a problem is to me faulty thinking. The keratinocytes are the king of cellular communication. This little cell decides whether to mount an immune response, whether to dilate your capillaries and whether to generate repair.

Rather than removing them I believe your keratinocyte should remain until it naturally falls off.  There isn’t any really any good reason to peel.

The reasons usually used are:
1. Acne
2. Pigmentation
3. Ageing

1) Acne is inflammatory. Originally it was thought to be from hyper-proliferation of cells (which it has that feature), however newer research shows it actually begins with inflammation and that is the trigger for the overproduction of cells. You extinguish the inflammation you get rid of the over production of cells. The bonus is that it doesn’t create sun sensitivity or increased sensitivity which tends to happen with the use of acids.

2) Pigmentation occurs because the pigment is transferred to the keratinocytes, so the idea is to remove them which removes the pigment. Instead if you stop the transfer of pigment you eliminate the pigmentation. There are also ways of stopping the pigment being deposited in the first place.

3) Ageing isn’t from dead skin cells and whilst it may stimulate the production of collagen by peeling it also creates inflammation. My philosophy is why peel when you can generate quicker and faster results without peeling and the process is holistic.

If you look at number 2 and 3 you will see it breaches the basal cell. Whilst your skin may look good at the time you will look worse in about 10-15 years time. The entire epidermis has been destroyed and will struggle to renew itself. This means your skin will start sagging.

It is for this reason that I am against peeling the skin. We treat acne from the first step. Peeling only treats from the second step.

showing you the way

11/8/2019

 
When you have something wrong with your skin it is frustrating and overwhelming at times.

There is a lot of conflicting information out there that can cause you even more confusion. As one Aesthetician put it, all anyone needs is a mobile phone and a YouTube channel and they call themselves an expert.

One of my missions is to stop the confusion. To provide a harbour of safety where you know you will get honest advice from a professional.

What separates me apart from other salons is my care in looking after you. I want to ensure you achieve the skin of your dreams.

It is my mission is to show you step by step how to get there and to be there with you along the way in your skin journey. To encourage you when it is hard, and to celebrate with you when you get the results you have been looking for.

For all of you who share your struggles and success stories, I thank you. It is difficult for me to articulate how much joy and inspiration it fills me with.

If you're feeling hopeless and lost with your skin please let me know. I would truly love to help you.
