Helen’s Skin Story
Having dedicated most of my adult life to the skin care industry, I was surprised to discover melasma after my third pregnancy.
This condition, triggered by hormonal changes, can worsen with improper treatment. In my quest to find a solution, I tried various methods, from visiting plastic surgeons to using prescription creams, turmeric masks, and even a painful green peel, all with no results.
After extensive research, I decided to try a Cosmelan peel, which turned out to be life-changing; however, the treatment itself is quite intense.
On the first day, you apply a clay-like mask that stays on all day, leaving your face bright red when washed off at night. Over the next week, your skin tightens and begins to peel. The most significant peeling occurs during the first week, continuing for 30 days. I also used the LED Healite three times a week to aid in healing and strengthening the skin.
It's crucial to understand that melasma cannot be fully cured, and long-lasting results require continuous maintenance and protection. I have undergone two professional treatments so far and remain open to a third if needed.
Alongside this, I've had needling sessions and less intense peels to keep the skin rejuvenated and shed excess pigment. The key component of my routine is a product containing a tyrosinase inhibitor, which helps train my cells to produce less pigment.
I am the one at the beach with a big hat and 50+ sunscreen, plus I use LED and skin care religiously to help maintain results and keep inflammation at bay. My dedication will be a lifelong journey, as I never want to return to how my skin was.

Jaya’s Skin Story
I wanted to share my personal skin care battle with all of you because let's face it, taking care of your skin can sometimes feel overwhelming.
When I started my journey, I had high hopes, but unfortunately, my skin barrier became impaired, and I struggled with acne and redness. I know some of you can relate to the challenges I faced during that time.
However, through trial and error, I discovered some incredible products and treatments that made a real difference. I incorporated three LED treatments per week and started using Retinol with Hyla for moisturising, Skin Zyme, and our antioxidant sunscreen. My skin started to clear up significantly, although I still experienced occasional breakouts.
Once I felt my skin was strong enough, I decided to try skin needling and in-clinic treatments, and it completely changed my world! It wasn't an overnight fix, but witnessing the progress was truly amazing. Now, I only experience occasional breakouts, which are fewer and clear up quickly.
I want to emphasise that you don't have to navigate your skin care journey alone.
Visit us for a consultation, and together, we can enhance your relationship with your skin.
