At Lasermed, we’re not just about treatments. We advocate a complete package of skincare. Remember, daily skincare is paramount.

You simply can’t beat Cleanser-Toner-Moisturiser-Sunscreen. The Golden Rule is always (and we mean always) remove your makeup before hitting the sack. The skin needs to breathe overnight. And makeup prevents that, as leaving it on overnight clogs the pores which may cause blemishes and/or blackheads.

Don’t forget that exfoliation is essential. At least once or twice a week, exfoliate your skin to remove the layers of dead skin. This will leave you with a more healthy glow and brighter skin.

Sun and Skin

Apply sunscreen with SPF of at least 30 that blocks both UVA and UVB rays every single day. Since a lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems, you have to protect your skin from the sun. Make sure the label reads ‘non-comedogenic’ or ‘non-acnegenic’ meaning that the product doesn’t block pores.

You are What You Eat

Eat fresh fruits, greens, sufficient protein and vitamins. A diet rich in vitamin C and low in fats and sugar promotes radiant skin. Avoid spicy and fermented foods, salt, citrus fruits, fried food.

Sweat It Out!

Exercise regularly. Running, jogging and yoga will give your body the necessary blood circulation, and also accelerate the cleansing process of your entire body. Exercise makes your face glow.

Beauty Sleep

Try to sleep at least 8 hours every night. Too little sleep and your skin sags!

Finally, hydrate yourself. Drink lots of water daily. Tip: it’s said that rose water helps prevent and reduce eye puffiness in the morning, maintains pH balance and naturally hydrates your skin if you spritz it on during the day.

Collagen induction therapy, also known as microneedling RF or skin needling, is a cosmetic procedure that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles. The end product is a tightened, rejuvenated and glowing skin. Dermapen is a very popular dermatology microneedling treatment device that has been embraced all over the world. With over 6,000+ practitioners worldwide adding Dermapen to their practise specifically because of its effectiveness and efficiency when it comes to handling common skin problems like stretch marks, ageing, wrinkles, fine lines, hair loss, acne scars, hyperpigmentation and so much more. Lasermed is no different. In fact, practitioners are constantly coming up with new treatments and ways to use the Dermapen microneedling pen.

HOW DERMAPEN REALLY WORKS

Dermapen employs the traditional Chinese technique for acupuncture only that here; the targeted result is not to reduce pain but rather to improve the skin appearance.

Basically, a Dermapen has 12 needles on the very tip and these 12 needles are the ones that are used to puncture the top layer of the skin as the Dermapen glides over the area being treated. Usually, the Dermapen will be positioned vertically over the skin and when it is turned on, a motor that is found inside the pen will start making the needles to move rapidly back and forth on the skin surface creating the punctures and these needles have been created in such a way that they can rotate in a slight way. These punctures created in the process are usually aimed at opening up the pores for a period of time only.

When a person hurts themselves, the skin will generally initiate skin repair by stimulating growth factors that will, in turn, lead to the generation of collagen and elastin. Therefore, when the punctures are made using the Dermapen, the skin will treat the punctures as wounds and therefore initiate healing. This means that micro-needling tend to trick the skin to produce collagen and elastin to promote ‘healing’ and the effect will be a rejuvenated skin.

Dermapen is used mostly for face wrinkles, scars, stretch marks and facial lines. When one is injured and the skin forms a scar, or if they have a stretch mark the body will treat these as though that area was repaired. Therefore having the punctures created in the scar tissue will cause the skin to initiate healing and, therefore, the damaged skin will tend to get eliminated and replaced with new skin. For wrinkles and face lines, basically, the produced collagen and elastin will cause the skin to thicken and also tighten leaving the skin looking youthful.

Generally, Dermapen has been effective and quite advantageous over other skin treatment procedures. This has seen to it that its popularity keeps growing by the day.

An oily skin and/or superficial acne scarring can be the pits for sufferers. But these conditions needn’t be forever. Microdermabrasion (MDA) not only provides a fresher skin, but is also particularly effective in removing blackheads and reducing pore size – on the face, chest, back and neck.

MDA is a safe and effective treatment to exfoliate the skin, stimulate blood circulation and lymph drainage. This allows the skin to function properly, speeding up the healing and repairing process.

With a low risk and rapid recovery, MDA is a painless, machine-assisted skin-exfoliating treatment. But because human skin typically regenerates at 30-day intervals, multiple treatments in combination with sunscreen, sun avoidance and good skincare creams yield best results.
