Steps to take
Broad spectrum SPF
Professional grade sun protection to protect, hydrate, and accelerate healing without introducing contaminants or irritants.
Good quality skincare
Professional grade skin care to protect, hydrate, maintain barrier function, heal the skin, as well as prevention of ageing skin.
Why is it so important?
Following advanced in-clinic treatments, the skins ability is at heightened risk of sun damage due to increase sensitivity and reduced barrier function. Without adequate protection, UV exposure can lead to hyperpigmentation, inflammation, and impaired healing. Medical grade broad spectrum sunscreen application is an essential step.
Traditional over the counter sunscreens often contain preservatives and microbial contaminants that can aggravate sensitive skin, and also leave the new deeper cells under the epidermis layer unprotected. Over the counter products only protect UVB rays, where as a medical grade broad spectrum sunscreen will protect against UVA rays too!
What is the difference for sun protection?
UVA: These rays are longer and penetrate deeper into the skin, causing premature ageing, wrinkles, and contributes towards skin cancer.
UVB: These rays are shorter and primarily cause sunburn.
What is the difference for skin care?
OVER COUNTER / ONLINE Treats the top layer of skin (epidermis), the skin cells that are ready to shed. The skin cell cycle is around 6 weeks, and over the counter products do not penetrate deep in to the skin, therefore, your skin may feel lovely, or appear to have a nice glow, but will never see any visible improvement in skin concerns. Which is why it is encouraged not to spend a large amount of money on products you can order yourself online, without a healthcare professional, or skincare specialist.
PROFESSIONAL GRADE: Treats the top layer of skin, and slightly into the dermis, but not deep enough to penetrate down the bottom of the dermis. Does give some visible results, great for prevention of ageing skin. Is not prescription, but only available from a healthcare professional, with appropriate knowledge and training, from a pharmacy only.
MEDICAL GRADE: Due to being medical grade these Products can penetrate deep, and will reach new skin cells at the skin surface, giving the most powerful treatment. The level these products penetrate, means the skin cells are treated for 6 weeks before they are visible, and these are the products that give optimal and proven results. These products require a prescription due to their strength, and must only be prescribed by a skincare specialist.
