Skincare is a very important hobby. Not only is your skin the largest organ, but it’s also your first line of protection against everything life throws at you on any given day.

By now you know the basics: sunscreen daily, retinol and vitamin C. But now is the time to let it go deep. First up is Dermapen microneedling for skin regeneration, then IPL for a clear, healthy and beautiful complexion, Ulthera for sagging, mosaic for saying goodbye to the unsightly fine lines, wrinkles, and the dreaded skin laxity and finally microdermabrasion for a quick glow during your lunch time. All this and more in the expert hands of Lasermed skin therapists and laser operators.

All this will ensure you come out the other side with your best skin ever.

Microdermabrasion is the process of using tiny crystals to exfoliate the skin. The procedure removes the dead and dry outer layer of the skin’s surface to reveal fresh, healthy skin underneath. It rejuvenates the surface, resulting in a brighter complexion.

This safe procedure works on all skin types and colours, making subtle changes, causing no skin colour change or scarring. It sloughs off the dead and dull surface layers of the skin,  stimulating an increase in collagen production and rejuvenation. Many patients see dramatic improvements in the tone, texture and colour of treated areas after just one treatment. It can also improve oily or dull skin.

Results from your microdermabrasion treatment can last for  6 to 12 months, but may last longer depending on how well you take care of your skin after treatment. Watch this space for our special discount in October.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines sexual health as ‘a state of physical, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality. It requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence.’

The way in which an individual expresses his/her sexuality is influenced by cultural, religious, sexual orientation and societal factors. Sexual problems may be complex and can impact negatively on our health and relationships.

Our approach with problems relating to intimacy and sexuality is holistic and may require a multi-disciplinary team, made up of Sexual Medicine Practitioner, Physiotherapist, Psychologist-sexologist, Gynaecologist or Urologist.

There are many contributing factors which may impact negatively on sexuality. These include chronic medical illness, prescription or over-the-counter medication, stress, life-style factors, hormonal changes during life stages and ageing, cancer treatments, previous sexual abuse or trauma, relationship characteristics and perception of body image.

Female sexual disorders include a decreased libido/desire and arousal, absent or difficulty attaining orgasm, lubrication problems, pain during intercourse/vaginismus and disorders of the external genitalia.

Male sexual disorders include low libido, hormone disorders, erectile dysfunction and ejaculation disorders which may be premature or delayed.

Screening and treatment of Sexually Transmitted Diseases and contraception is included with sexual health.

‘Good sex is all about good communication and great sex forms part of a rich and complex area of human experience’.
