skin health for THE WHOLE FAMILY at THE SKIN CLINIC

When you book your first appointment with us, everybody is treated to the same protocols, whether you are new to skin health and care or already in the medical field. At Advanced Skin, we aim to educate our clients on skin behaviour, how healthy skin effects not just skin efficiency but external appearance and most of all that it doesn’t need to cost a fortune!

First appointments last approximately 90 minutes and we go through your current routine, what issues you may have and what changes you would like to see. We also discuss skin physiology and anatomy to explain why and how certain products and treatments work and why others don’t. We also give you a full skin analysis and advise of any changes you can make to optimise skin health, efficiency and cellular function. These consultations are at the forefront of our client journeys and how we achieve consistent results.

Dermaplaning is a safe and effective exfoliation procedure that stimulates new cell development whilst removing dead skin cells, dirt, impurities and vellus hair from the epidermal layers of your skin. Results are immediate  and is one of the most efficient ways to not only speed up cellular turnover, but keep your skin healthy and working optimally.

A cost effective, maximum impact treatment you will love that also includes a hydration treatment and oxygen infusion to ensure fresh skin is protected, looks fantastic and above all, is happier!

A collagen stimulating treatment that utilises our natural wound response to achieve skin rejuvenation, targeting fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, laxity and texture.

Using small, fine needles to puncture the skin and create a controlled injury which then triggers the body’s natural immune response. These ‘micro injuries’ do not cause actual harm to the skin but promote collagen production, essential growth factors and new blood vessels in the treated area.

Chemical peels are an exfoliation treatment used to improve skin tone, texture and scarring. They work by removing the outermost layers of the skin by dissolving the dead cells and impurities by applying an acid to the surface of the skin. This controlled injury results in fresh collagen stimulation, the regeneration of new tissue and smoother, fresh skin.

At Advanced Skin Cheltenham, we offer light, medium and deep peels depending on your skin’s needs and conditions. The acids we use in clinic are Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Glycolic Acid, AHA/BHA Combination and Tricarboxylic Acid (TCA) and these can be applied in varying percentages and strengths.

Hydration is imperative to skin health and functionality. Our hydration treatment works by using a combination of hyaluronic acid and oxygen to infuse cells with the nourishment they need to work efficiently, whilst giving you a natural glow.

Oxygen Infusion is designed to nourish your skin and promote collagen growth. This treatment delivers essential nutrients directly into your dermis to promote increased cell turnover which mean greater protection from free radicals, UV damage and bacteria.

Developed by NASA, Photodynamic Therapy is used to treat a variety of ailments from skin conditions through to muscular and mental health. Different coloured lights have different wavelengths and this penetrates different cellular levels and functions of the body. Our phototherapy machine has 7 different light therapies available, which allows us to treat a variety of conditions.

Red Light

Red light works by producing a biochemical effect in cells that strengthens the mitochondria (where the cell’s energy is created). By increasing the function of the mitochondria using RLT, a cell can make more energy, function more efficiently, rejuvenate themselves, and repair damage. RLT is different from laser or intense pulsed light (IPL) therapies because it doesn’t cause damage to the skin surface. RLT bypasses this harsh step by directly stimulating regeneration of the skin via the cells themselves and the light emitted by RLT penetrates roughly 5 millimetres below the skin’s surface.

Clinical research has shown evidence that RLT has the following benefits:  

• promotes wound healing and tissue repair
• help for the short-term treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome
• stimulates healing of slow-healing wounds, reduces psoriasis lesions
• aids with short-term relief of pain and morning stiffness in people with rheumatoid arthritis
• improves skin complexion, tone and builds collagen to diminish wrinkles
• helps to mend sun damage
• prevents recurring cold sores from herpes simplex virus infections
• improves osteoarthritis
• helps diminish scars
• relieves pain and inflammation
• Skin Rejuvenation
• Helps Rosacea
• Improves hydration
• Aids circulation
• helps with depression & Mental Health Symptoms

Blue Light

Blue Light has been used the medical industry for years and is a standard treatment to reduce high levels of bilirubin, or jaundice, in the blood of new-borns.

The blue light also has amazing results in treating skin disorders, mood and seasonal disorders and helps with sleep. By producing a specific wave length which reduces acne-causing bacteria, the blue light also functions to reduce sebaceous gland size and/ or function and has anti-inflammatory properties. Studies show that this wavelength of light improves red macules, irregular pigmentation and improves inflammatory acne lesions. .

Blue light benefits you in at least three major ways:

1. It kills bad bacteria – treating acne, sebaceous hyperplasia, psoriasis, keratosis, eczema and atopic dermatitis.
2. It helps regulate mood and circadian rhythms – treating depression, SAD and sleep disorders.
3. It supports your liver.

Blue light therapy is also:

• 100% natural * chemical free
• non-invasive (no needles or knives)
• non-ablative (does not damage the skin)
• painless (does not itch, burn or sting)
• requires zero downtime
• safe for all skin types and ages
• no adverse short or long term side effects
• FDA/MHRA approved

Green Light Therapy

Green Light works in the same way as Red and Blue Light Therapy; in which a specific wavelength of light is projected onto the skin and this light causes chemical reactions, which excite cells to increase cellular performance. Different lights penetrate different depths and achieve numerous benefits physically, mentally and emotionally.

Clinical research has shown evidence that RLT has the following benefits;

• bringing balance and calm to the skin and organs.
• eliminate pain (it is now one of the most recommended treatments for fibromyalgia and arthritis) and migraines
• speeds up wound healing
• calm anxiety,
• accelerate the sleep process
• rejuvenates the skin.
• targets pigmentation;
• targets the skins repair response
• assists with acne scarring,
• sun damage
• helps some types of Rosacea.

Yellow/Orange Light

Yellow light has the unique characteristic of rejuvenating, healing and revitalising skin that has irritation or recent surface trauma. Due to the shallow depth the light penetrates, people with sensitive skin will benefit from the soothing and calming effect of yellow light therapy. It has also been found to be effective in treating skin conditions such as spider veins and rosacea.

Clinical research has shown evidence that RLT has the following benefits;

• UV radiation
• Rosacea
• Flushing
• redness
• inflammation
• boosts the flow of lymphatic fluids
• promotes the growth of new skin cells
• It heals and revitalised damaged tissue by decreasing the size of surface blood vessels
• stimulates red blood cell production.
