The post Anti-wrinkle injections do they work? first appeared on SKIN TREATMENT TOWNSVILLE.]]> Anti-Wrinkle injections do they work? Yes, they have been used by millions of people around the world for many years with great success. Their mode of action and effectiveness has been scientifically validated.

What do they do?

The compound in the injection is derived from a bacterium (Clostridium botulinum) and acts by relaxing the muscles they are injected into, thereby reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

Do the injections hurt?

Very fine needles are used for injection, minimising discomfort. When you see the results the discomfort will be long forgotten.

How long until I notice results?

Some clients see results within 3-5 days, but the full effect can take up to 14 days.

How long does it last?

Up to 3 months.

How many units?

This depends on the product used, the sex of the client, and the area being injected. For example, frown lines take about 30 units and forehead lines about 50 units. We use Dysport brand which requires a lower volume of injectable solution.

How much does it cost?

For MAY and JUNE 2017 we are offering the following special introductory prices to make your decision even easier! Forehead: RRP $200 – MAY / JUNE SPECIAL $125 Crow’s feet: RRP $120 per side – MAY / JUNE SPECIAL $80 per side Frown lines: RRP $150 – MAY / JUNE SPECIAL $90

The post Hydration 101 – the importance of water first appeared on SKIN TREATMENT TOWNSVILLE.]]> Hydration People! The importance of water. Even though the warmer months are behind us in sunny North Queensland, it is important to always maintain hydration while exercising. Try to remember the forgotten essential nutrient – WATER! Water escapes your body with every breath, every drop of sweat. This loss increases during exercise. This in turn will lead to dehydration, sapping your energy and making you tired. When you are tired and lacking energy during exercise your risk of injury increases. So, you need to replace water in your body regularly. While using caffeine based drinks or soft drink to help with your workout is common and also a quick fix, a lot of people are unaware of the amount of sugar they contain. On average most soft drinks contain eight and a half teaspoons of sugar. Also caffeine is a diuretic, which means it increases the excretion of water from our bodies. So, you just have to ingest more to stay hydrated. Some people experience a sense of being hungry after exercise. Often this is a sign that you are dehydrated. Your body cannot produce water on its own. We need to ingest water to help maintain our own body’s needs. The amount of water in the human body ranges from 50-75%. Body composition varies according to gender and fitness level, because fatty tissue contains less water than lean tissue. The average adult male is about 60% water. The average adult woman is about 55% water because women naturally have more fatty tissue than men. Overweight men and women have more water, as a percent, than their leaner counterparts. The percent of water depends on your hydration level. People feel thirsty when they have already lost around 2-3% of their body’s water. Mental performance and physical coordination start to become impaired before thirst kicks in, typically around 1% dehydration.

What does Cosmeceuticals mean?

Cosmeceuticals is the name given to a range of skin care products that contain naturally occurring compounds such Vitamins A, C and E, peptides, hyaluronic acid, licorice, and many others. These have an active effect on the components of the skin to hydrate, depigment, exfoliate, replenish and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Medical grade products are more effective than store bought products.

Cosmeceuticals for hyperpigmentation what is available?

A variety of compounds can reduce the appearance of pigmentation by either bleaching or reducing the production of melanin in the skin. Some products of this sort are: Vitamin C, retinol (Vitamin A), lcorice, kojic acid, niacinamide (Vitamin B), and hydroquinione to name a few.

What are the best cosmeceuticals?

Medical grade products. Lesser grade products are like taking 1/2 an aspirin for a headache and expecting it to work!

What is the difference between cosmetics and cosmeceuticals?

Cosmetics hide blemishes, lines and wrinkles rather than change the skin structure.

Why choose cosmeceuticals?

For a similar price to store bought cosmetics, the results are far superior for medical grade products.

  • basal cell carcinoma
  • squamous cell carcinoma
  • melanoma – the most dangerous form of skin cancer

Spot check time!

More than 750,000 people are treated for one or more non-melanoma skin cancers in Australia each year, and a further 12,000 are diagnosed with melanoma. How can you check for skin cancer is to become familiar with the look of your skin, so you pick up any changes that might suggest a skin cancer. Look for:
  • any crusty, non-healing sores
  • small lumps that are red, pale or pearly in colour
  • new spots, freckles or any moles changing in colour, thickness or shape over a period of weeks to months (especially those dark brown to black, red or blueblack in colour).
How can you check for skin cancer If you are concerned about that spot or mole, we encourage you to make an appointment for a complete skin check ASAP.The post How can you check for skin cancer first appeared on SKIN TREATMENT TOWNSVILLE.]]> https://r3skinstudio.com.au/how-can-you-check-for-skin-cancer/feed/ 0 Anti Wrinkle Injections Townsville https://r3skinstudio.com.au/anti-wrinkle-injections-townsville/ https://r3skinstudio.com.au/anti-wrinkle-injections-townsville/#respond Sat, 03 Dec 2016 08:54:36 +0000 http://r3skinstudio.com.au/?p=783 Dysport Anti-Wrinkle Treatments.
