What's New

Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT)

	Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) is also known as "skin needling". It has similar results to Laser, Chemical Peels and Dermabrasion but is far less invasive, which translates to a far lower risk of complications and quick recovery time. Improvement in the appearance of scars and lines is achieved through a series of Skin Needling treatments. How is it done? We use the renowned medical grade "Dermaroller" which stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin. New collagen production is the object of ALL skin resurfacing and rejuvenation treatments. Because the epidermis is left intact, the healing period is rapid. The skin does not risk permanent structural damage, sun sensitivity, skin colour loss or hyper-pigmentation like other treatments do. Collagen Induction Therapy can treat sensitive areas that other treatments have to avoid, such as below the eyes, the neck and the back of hands. What areas of the skin can be treated? Collagen Induction Therapy can treat sensitive areas that other treatments have to avoid, such as below the eyes, the neck and the back of hands. In fact all areas of the face and body can be treated with Dermaroller CIT What Can Be Treated With Roller CIT? - Facial Wrinkles - Acne Scarring - Improved skin elasticity - Fine lines - Stretch marks - Pigmentation For more information please click HERE

Looking after your skin in winter

We are coming up to winter again.  With the change of seasons comes a change in skin needs and concerns.   The harsh cold winter weather combined with the drying effect of heaters tends to leave the skin of Canberrans’ wind chapped, dry and flaky.

To prevent this, it is necessary to use moisturisers rich in active ingredients to hydrate and nourish the skin.
 
Gina's Formulations Oil Protection is a combination of rosehip, apricot kernel, evening primrose, calendula and sweet almond oil that is quick absorbing, healing, moisturising and softening for dry or wind chapped skin.
 
Thorough exfoliation is also important to rid the skin of dry, dead skin cells and to allow a deep penetration of serums and moisturisers.
 
Gina's Formulations Conditioning Scrub is a fantastic daily exfoliant effect in removing dry and dead skin to allow fresh healthy skin to come to the surface.

Common complaints are: 

Mineral makeup makes my skin look too shiny. After using mineral makeup makes my skin feel dry & irritated. Mineral makeup seems hard to apply. It doesn't give enough/gives too much coverage.

Why Have a Sauna?

A Far Infrared  sauna causes extra toxic waste products to be purged from the body through the skin during perspiration.  The skin is often referred to as the third kidney, becuase it is believed to be responsible for eliminating 30% of the body's waste.  Far infrared saunas are a fantastic way to cleanse the body after the busy Christmas & new years season.

Contrary to what you might think, a sauna actually helps to regulate your heat and cools you down!  Far infrared saunas improve your body's natural cooling system, allowing your body to perspire more effectively and cool itself.

Extra perspiration cleanses the skin, as well as increasing blood circulation (which carries vital nutrients) to the skin, resulting in a healthier, glowing skin. 

As well as being very relaxing, having a Far Infrared sauna after a massage helps to:

• Reduce pain caused by deep muscle work
• Rid the body of toxins released during a massage; and
• Speed recovery time of injuries.

Health benefits of far infrared saunas include:

• Speed recovery of injuries

For injuries, FIR generated heat stimulates the vasodilation of peripheral blood vessels, bringing oxygen to joints and extremities, speeding the healing of sprains and strains, thus relieving pain and reducing the time it takes the human body to recover from an injury.

• Better Circulation and Increased Energy

The sauna emits FIR energy that is absorbed by human cells, causing a physical phenomenon called "resonance". Thus the cellular activities are instantly invigorated, resulting in a better blood circulation and an overall improved metabolism. 

• Weight Loss

FIR Sauna heat therapy can aid in weight loss by speeding up the metabolic process of vital organs and endocrine glands resulting in a substantial caloric loss in a sauna heat session.

• Cardiovascular Health

The FIR Sauna increases heart rate and blood circulation, crucial to maintaining one's health. The heart rate increases as more blood flow is diverted from the inner organs towards the extremities of the skin, without heightening blood pressure

When combined with a massage, a session in the far infrared sauna is only $25 each, that's a saving of $10
