When you consider that the main function of our skin to protect us from environmental and bacterial compromise, it is easy to understand how important skin health is. After all, it is the largest organ of the human body! If we put aside the vital health benefits of great skin for a moment, (We can come back to that later), there are also the aesthetic consequences of some skin conditions that can impact everyday life.
With a plethora of skin creams advertised on television, in magazines or when we browse the supermarket shelves, all promising eternal youth and a glowing complexion, we can be forgiven for handing over our hard-earned cash, only to find that it has made little or no difference. For this reason, we strongly support the importance of personalised skin consultation where you will have the opportunity to explore your concerns with an expert, and a treatment plan will be recommended based on this consultation. Experience and knowledge of how skin works is the key to achieving maximum results without wasting time and money.
There is not a 'one size fits all' solution when it comes to skin care but finding the most appropriate protocol for individual concerns is our aim.
Everyone will be on a different skin journey, for example, for some it is important to enhance a healthy glow, for others it may be a specific skin concern such as Acne prone skin or scarring.
This is where medical grade skin care comes in. Unlike everyday skin care, prescription strength products will change your skin at a cellular level due to the active ingredients they contain. The most suitable protocol for you will depend on your particular concern.
So, if we go back to skin health. You may remember at the start that we talked about skin being a protection from environmental compromise.
Ultraviolet (UV) rays are a predominant cause of not only premature skin ageing , but also malignant melanoma (skin cancer), and sunspots (hyperpigmentation). There is good news though. Daily use of a good SPF (yes, even on cloudy days and during winter months), will provide protection against this.
If you already find yourself in the position for having overdone the sunbathing in the past, or have used sunbeds previously, there are options available to reverse the damage.
Of course, as with so many things in life, 'prevention is better than cure'.
At LDR Aesthetics we understand skin and how to promote a healthy vibrant and youthful complexion. We offer a fantastic range of skin treatments that will be tailored to suit all skin types and any skin issues you may have.
