Mirror, mirror on the wall… Have you looked in the mirror lately and seen those fine lines increasing? Or those fine lines grow deeper? Do you look back at old photos and realise how old you have become? Does your skin look dull? Are the moisturisers, oils, serums and scrubs not working?
Evolve Day Spa has the answer for you! No costly facelift needed.
Come back Collagen
Collagen is the largest and most abundant protein in our body, and is a key building block for everything from the connective tissues of our vital organs, joints, ligaments and tendons, to our hair, nails and the dermis layer of our skin. It functions much like the frame of a house: it provides support for everything, both inside and out. Without the frame, our house gets cracked and falls down.
We are born with an abundant supply of collagen. As a baby, our skin is plump, firm, smooth and rosy in colour – thanks to all of that collagen in our dermis. Unfortunately, our body stops producing collagen in our mid to late 20s. Then, around age 30, our collagen levels begin a long, unyielding decline – right around the time those first fine lines and wrinkles appear on our face. After age 30, our collagen level drops 1% to 2% every year. By age 40, we have lost 10% to 20% of our collagen. By 50, we are down 20% to 40%. By the time we hit 60 – well, you get the picture. And it isn’t pretty.
The answer
Microneedling (also referred to as Collagen Induction Therapy or CIT) is the breakthrough remedy in of the treatment of wrinkles, acne, pigmentation, scars and stretch marks, pore size reduction and even hair growth stimulation – improving overall skin conditions and the quality of your skin. It is suitable for all people of all ages and all ethnicities. It is no longer a beauty luxury, but a beauty “must have” for any person wanting to look younger. If you have considered it but haven’t yet had the courage to try it, hopefully, this article will help you take the plunge.
How?
Evolve Day Spa’s trained somatologists will perform a skin assessment while discussing your skincare concerns and appropriate needles are selected. Numbing cream is applied to help reduce pain to discomfort. Remember, you can microneedle your body too!
Tiny needles poke the top layer of your skin, creating channels in the dermis which sufficiently stimulate the body’s natural mechanisms to produce and deliver concentrated amounts of collagen and proteins to the treated areas of skin while also allowing deeper penetration of the products applied.
The cost of the treatments range from R850 to R1200, and maintenance of the procedure is essential, so talk to our staff about our loyalty programme.
If you have any skincare concerns, phone our qualified somatologists for free skin care advice.
Having worked in the industry for over 17 years and with worldwide celebrities, I can confidently say this is the anti-ageing treatment of choice and I encourage everyone to give it a go!
I’m looking forward to helping you evolve to a younger more confident, wrinkle reduced you.
