Love The Skin You Are In- Best Tightening Spa Treatments for Face and Body

Aging slows down the production of collagen and elastin in the body. This results in loose, sagging skin and the rapid appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face. Face and body slimming treatments aim to target specific parts of the body and amp up collagen and elastin production resulting in skin tightening and reduction in the appearance of fine lines.

 

Enter, Viora- the future of face and body slimming.

One of the most popular and effective body slimming treatments the world swears by, Viora is a non-invasive technology that uses radiofrequency (RF) to deliver heat into the deeper layers of the skin without hurting the epidermis. This results in the breakdown of fat cells and an increase in blood circulation throughout the body. Viora is a multi-device treatment, meaning it uses

multiple handpieces that make targeting specific areas of the body like the back, abdomen, back, legs, and arms, easy. These handpieces are engineered to target specific parts of the body like the abdomen, back, legs, and arms. The therapist can also adjust the levels of intensity which helps them customize the treatment according to the specific needs of the patient.

 

Besides tightening and brightening the skin, Viora also has the following benefits:

Reduction in the appearance of Cellulite:

Viora’s technology is a combination of RF and vacuum therapy which also aids in the treatment of cellulite. RF energies penetrate deep into the layers of skin and stimulate the production of collagen while vacuum therapy aids lymphatic drainage.

No downtime:

Viora is one of the most painless body-slimming treatments. Many clients have gone so far as to say that they felt relaxed during the treatment and required no downtime after the procedure.

Cover multiple areas in one sitting:

Due to its non-invasive nature, the therapist can cover more than one body part during a session to speed up the process.

 

How can Ultherapy help?

If you are looking for a facelift without having to go under the knife, we recommend Ultherapy. The Gold Standard for non-surgical lifting and skin-tightening, Ultherapy is a unanimous winner when it comes to FDA-cleared non-invasive face and neck lifting treatment.

How does Ultherapy work?

Ultherapy uses Ultrasound therapy to penetrate deeper than other treatments which offer the same benefits like collagen stimulation and skin tightening. It also makes use of ultrasound imaging which enables the therapist to see the layers of tissue they are treating. This helps them target the energies to specific areas.

 

The benefits of Ultherapy include the following:

Non-surgical:

Ultherapy is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments which significantly tighten the face, neck, and decolletage.

No Down/Recovery time:

You can get a session of Ultherapy and return to normal life as soon as it is done! One may experience temporary side-effects like redness or soreness in the treated areas that quickly go away after following the treatment.

Natural and long lasting:

Ultherapy is a safe and quick procedure which results in natural and long-lasting benefits.

Delay the onset of age:

With regular sessions of Ultherapy, one can significantly delay the onset of age.

 

Take your pick from Viora or Ultherapy and start on your journey to smooth skin, reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and a face-lift fit for the stars. Call Ivory Aesthetics Clinic and book a consultation today.

Fractional vs Traditional Radiofrequency- Everything You Need to Know.

As we age, our bodies show signs of aging in the form of loose skin, fine lines and wrinkles, spots, and pigmentation. To combat these skin issues, we recommend choosing from two revolutionary treatments- RadioFrequency or Fractional Radiofrequency. Let’s take a deep dive into the difference and benefits of both treatments.

Traditional Radiofrequency therapy, also commonly referred to as Radiofrequency skin-tightening, which is a non-surgical method that aids in the tightening of skin. This procedure mainly uses energy waves to penetrate into the deepest layers of the skin. This heat boosts the production of collagen and elastin which have a tightening and brightening effect on the skin.

 

Benefits of Traditional Radiofrequency include-

RF is a versatile treatment:

One of the most amazing benefits of Radiofrequency is that it is a versatile treatment, meaning it can be used both on the face and body. It is very beneficial for tightening of loose skin on the face, arms, neck, abdomen, or thighs. Additionally, RF is an ideal procedure for any skin type, colour, or texture.

Quick and easy:

A typical RF session is fast and causes minimal discomfort. It lasts a minimum of one hour and requires minimal to no downtime.

Safe and reliable:

RF is a safe procedure. It is a non-surgical treatment that requires minimal to no recovery time. It is safe for all skin types and produces instant results. Some clients are known to have experienced temporary side effects like mild pain, swelling, or redness in the treated area. Using a cold compress on the area after the treatment is recommended.

Fractional Radiofrequency is one of the most effective anti-aging technologies that uses ultrafine needles to gently puncture the skin to deliver RF energy. This results in the production of collagen and elastin which plump the skin and return it to its youthful state.

Benefits of Fractional Radiofrequency include-

Smoothes fine lines and wrinkles:

Fractional Radiofrequency treatment accelerates the production of collagen in the skin. The heat produced by the energy penetrates deeper into the skin and helps smoothen out the most severe fine lines and wrinkles.

Penetrates deep into the skin:

Fractional Radiofrequency delivers heat deep into the layers of skin without causing any damage to the epidermis or top layers of the skin. This stimulates the production of collagen which aids in the smoothening of fine lines and tightening of the skin.

Combats acne scars:

Texture-wise, acne scars are thick patches of damaged skin. Opposed to micro-needling, Fractional Radiofrequency is able to break down scar tissue better. The therapist is also able to focus higher levels of RF energy on the damaged skin to produce better results.

Other benefits of RF and FRF include improved skin texture, even skin tone, reduction in the appearance of large pores, tight and firm skin, reduction in appearance of pigmentation and sun damage, and bright complexion.

Both Radiofrequency and Fractional Radiofrequency treatments are the ones to go far if you are looking for long-lasting, consistent results.

Products to ‘Splurge’ on & Products to ‘Save’ on……. If you want dewy, glass-like skin

The 10-step Korean skincare routine has increasingly become popular since the famous Korean makeup artist showed off her dewy, glass skin. Most of us, if not all, want to have clear skin, but this lengthy skincare routine will cost you a pretty penny.

That being said, if you are wise about what you save on and what you splurge on when purchasing products, it is possible to do even within a budget.

In this blog post, we dive deeper into the Korean skincare routine to determine which items are worth breaking the bank for and which you can save on.

Follow this K-beauty inspired 10-step routine for dewy, glass skin. There won’t be a single pore left untouched…

1. Oil cleanser

2. Cream/Foam cleanser

3. Toner

4. Essence

5. Emulsion

6. Serum

7. Sheet mask

8. Eye Cream

9. Moisturiser

10. Sunscreen

Although all steps in this routine are advised, most of us cannot afford to spend money on every single item. To determine what to splurge on, we have to understand what makes this routine so effective. The most critical steps in the Korean skincare regimen are cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing, serums, and sunscreen. Out of these five steps, it is easiest to find effective but affordable cleansers, exfoliators and moisturizers. This, therefore, means that we should save on cleansers, moisturizers and exfoliators and invest in premium serums and sunscreen.

Most of us only started using a serum as part of our skincare routine recently. Serums contain unprecedented amounts of active ingredients that target specific skin problems such as dehydration, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, congested skin, etc. Based on what your main skincare concerns are, you should choose a serum that will treat and correct your skin appropriately.

There is no point in investing in expensive skincare products if you are not going to protect your skin from what causes it harm, either. Having a good sunscreen will ensure that you do not keep having to deal with the same problems over and over again. Sunscreen protects the skin from harmful UV rays that cause premature aging, fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, skin discoloration, as well as dull and dry skin.

The moral of the story? Before trying out this 10-step K-beauty routine make sure you’ve got your skincare basics covered… and don’t try to save on the important stuff, like good quality sunscreen and serum.

‘Hydrate’ your way to Glass Skin! Skincare ingredients & facial treatments to look out for!

If you are trying to achieve glass skin, then you understand the importance of effective skincare for hydration – cleansing, toning, exfoliating and most importantly moisturising your skin. Glass skin is exceptionally smooth and even-toned and this is achieved by regularly exfoliating the skin and keeping it moisturised and hydrated. To achieve and maintain glass skin, you should incorporate the following ingredients and treatments into your skincare regimen.

Glycolic acid

Glycolic acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid, commonly known as AHA. It has become very popular in the beauty industry, with most beauty companies incorporating it into their cleansers, toners and moisturisers. If you are still wondering what is the fuss about, then you should know that glycolic acid gently exfoliates the outermost layer of the skin while hydrating the skin all at the same time. It also helps treat acne-prone skin, hyperpigmentation as well as fine lines and wrinkles.

Hyaluronic acid

I cannot stress enough the importance of hydrating your skin, especially if you want to maintain or achieve glass skin. Making sure that you take at least eight glasses of water a day will is a good start, but that alone is not enough to keep your skin hydrated. You need to invest in skincare for hydration. Hyaluronic acid is a powerful humectant. It improves the skin’s ability to retain moisture, and visibly plumps up the skin after a few applications for a youthful and glowy look.

Hydrafacials

Facials do to our skin what servicing does to a car. Even with a proper skincare routine in place, our skin requires extra care and attention now and then. Hydrafacials are multifunctional treatments that target various skin problems. This treatment utilises the benefits of hyaluronic acid, peptides and other super-serums to correct textured and dehydrated skin, dark spots, enlarged pores as well as congested skin. The hydrafacial treatment also uses the vortex cleaning system and anti-oxidant delivery for healthier radiant skin.

A well-curated skincare routine and regular facial treatments will help achieve and maintain your glass skin. Keeping your skin hydrated will improve its elasticity, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, combat excess production of sebum and make it more resilient to free radicals.

Do you really need a 10-step K-beauty routine to get glass skin? We’ve got the TEA!

A few years ago, a Korean makeup artist went viral for her glass skin look. Since then, the ten-step Korean skincare routine has become very popular in the beauty world. Many men and women adopted this skincare routine and some even swear by it. Although this routine delivers good results, it is not a sustainable option for many. It requires a lot of time and money, so if you cannot afford this lengthy skincare routine, not to worry, you can still achieve glass skin using personalised facial treatments.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is an advanced exfoliating treatment that involves scraping off dead skin as well as facial hair using a sterilised blade. This facial treatment delivers an instant glow to the skin, reduces skin texture and aids in deeper penetration of other products. If you suffer from dull skin, this treatment will do wonders for you.

HIFU Facial

This is a non-surgical facelift done using high intensity focused ultrasound. It targets ageing or sagging skin, and results are visible immediately after the procedure. Precise and focused ultrasound beams penetrate the dermis, adipose tissue and superficial fascia generating thermal coagulation points. This initiates the regeneration of soft collagen fibres and multidimensional firming due to the contraction of tissues and the production of collagen. This treatment is effective for firming and tightening the skin and it does not require any downtime.

Hydrafacial

If you have several skin concerns, then you will love this multifunctional facial treatment. It targets enlarged pores, dry and dehydrated skin, uneven texture, congested skin as well as dark spots. It combines the vortex cleansing system with super serums, peptides and hyaluronic acid as well as anti-oxidant delivery to treat dehydrated skin. Hyaluronic acid helps the skin retain more water for a more supple look.

These are just but a few of the available facial treatments in the market. Depending on what your skin needs, your esthetician can come up with personalised treatments targeting all your skin concerns. Facial treatments, together with a simple skincare routine, offer more effective and long-lasting results.

The ONLY facial you need to get that dewy, glass skin!

Glass skin is in! Taking the beauty world by storm, the Korean trend for dewy skin so translucent it’s as light reflective as glass is a 2020 skincare movement that’s here to stay. The routine to achieve mirror-like skin tends to involve a multitude of steps from double cleansing to sheet masks and essences to moisturisers. But there’s another way to achieve the high gloss look and it’s the only facial you need to get that dewy, glass skin.

Dermaplaning facial

Layers of dead skin and peach fuzz on your face can cause dullness, fatigue, breakouts and fine lines. Those little hairs that drive you mad are not conducive to the dewy glass skin look. Neither is tired looking, flat skin that refuses to glow. Dermaplaning is an effective facial treatment that uses a surgical scalpel to gently exfoliate and remove dead skin and peach fuzz by carefully scraping the surface of your skin. The best thing about this treatment is that the results are instant – super smooth, glowing skin that’s baby soft and looks much healthier. The benefits of Dermaplaning go even further. By removing those dead skin cells, foundation goes on far more evenly and all your skincare products are far more efficiently absorbed. A Dermaplaning facial means there is no need to use harsh exfoliators on your face and you won’t need a 10-step routine to get glass skin. Not only is the big reveal brighter, fresher skin, but Dermaplaning results in skin cells having a faster turnover which encourages collagen production and plumper looking skin.

Combine with a Hydrafacial, LED treatment or Chemical Peel for outstanding results

Combining the power of Dermaplaning with a youth-boosting Hydrafacial brightens and plumps the skin even further. These two effortless treatments work harmoniously to clear out pores and drive in potent actives including super-serums and hyaluronic acid to hydrate skin at the deepest level. Choose to pair a Dermaplaning facial with a multi-award-winning Dermalux LED treatment and you’ll achieve the ultimate dewy complexion. Dermalux LED therapy uses infrared light to give you instant photo-ready skin whilst fighting acne, redness and pigmentation, boosting collagen and delivering intense hydration. Dermaplaning also works exceptionally when used before a Chemical Peel. Sloughing off the outer layers of skin during Dermaplaning increases the efficacy of a Chemical Peel and intensifies that glass skin look.

Skincare 101: Your Guide To Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are a leading component in great skin care.

Aside from its effectiveness in exfoliating the skin’s surface to encourage fresh and new cells to develop, Chemical Peels are also considered as a great supplemental treatment to laser resurfacing and laser skin tightening. This is why chemical peels have become increasingly popular throughout the years.

Chemical peels use chemical solutions such as alpha hydroxy acid or trichloroacetic acid to resurface the skin by removing the top, damaged layers and revealing a smoother, healthier, younger-looking complexion.

At Ivory Aesthetics, we offer a wide range of chemical peels that cater to all skin needs.

Nimue Glycolic Treatment

Recommended for: hyperpigmented skin

Our Nimue glycolic treatment works great for the hyperpigmented skin. It uses glycolic acid for thorough exfoliation, offering controlled and expected elimination of dry skin tissues, and boosting the feel and appeal of the skin.

Nimue TCA Peel

Recommended for: acne prone and clogged skin

Also known as a proactive skin restoration therapy, our Nimue TCA Peel uses the Bio-active compound in conjunction with 7.5% TCA for deep exfoliation of the skin’s outermost layer. This facilitates in effective penetration of skin healing alpha hydroxy acids and other active ingredients – resulting in a vibrant, evenly textured and smooth skin

Nimue Fading Treatment

Recommended for: sun damaged and pigmented skin

It uses antioxidants that protect your skin from environmental damage and free radical irritation. These antioxidants reduce melanin, thus regulating new pigmentation production, while fading existing ones.

Nimue Corrective Treatment

The active ingredients and corrective serum used during the treatment helps in absorbing excess oil to prevent accumulation of dirt, the primary cause behind acne, while also diminishing acne scars and refining large pores to prevent breakouts.

Facial Extractions: Are They Good Or Bad For Your Skin?

Can extractions really damage the skin?

At Ivory Aesthetics Dubai, we often come across this question.

Some women can be apprehensive when it comes to facial extractions, as they feel it is harmful to the skin, and is an unnecessary step in a facial treatment.

However, facial extractions are in fact extremely essential to properly cleanse your skin.

Pores, blackheads, and small pimples can get in the way of healthy, beautiful skin – and facial extractions effectively target them to ensure your skin is at its best.

But, it’s important to ensure that they are done by a trained and professional aesthetician.

This is because the process requires mandatory skills and expertise, along with thorough knowledge of finger / tool placement, correct pressure, and squeezing technique.

If the extraction is done incorrectly, it can lead to increased irritation, broken capillaries and additional acne problems.

Important Things To Consider

Extractions are highly recommended for acne prone skin. These are few things to consider:

  • Never use an extraction tool at home, it can damage your skin
  • Always consult a professional and experienced aesthetician
  • Get a facial once every couple of weeks until you have clear skin
  • Stick to proper skin care products and routine at home.
