What are the advantages of Diamond tip microdermbrasion over conventional crystal-based systems?
Diamond tip microdermbrasion has overcome previous shortcomings of crystal-based systems, making it the most wanted microdermabrasion system worldwide. Diamond tip microdermbrasion diamond tips are 100% hypoallergenic and there is never a possibility of ingestion or inhalation of loose crystals. Pristine™ allows you to treat sensitive areas more deeply, without fear of over-abrading tissue or over exposure to crystal irritants. The multiple options of treatment tips allow for a customisable treatment suited to the various patients you treat, their skin types and sensitivities.

How long does the treatment last?
Finally, treatments can be performed 100% faster than traditional microdermabrasion achieving a full face treatment in less than 10 minutes! Swiss Care provide half an hour to a hour treatments which include a face mask, toning of the skin and a massage.

What results can I expect?
Depending on the area treated, you will notice an improvement in your skin’s appearance after your treatment. Stretch marks and acne scars will be less obvious. Age spots and fine lines are reduced, and many Microdermabrasion clients report that their skin seems softer, tighter, smoother and younger looking.

What Will Microdermabrasion do for my skin?
Overall, microdermabrasion will reduce the appearance of wrinkles, remove acne scars, clear up blackheads, minimise the size of the pores, reduce sun damage, and even out the skin tone. Microdermabrasion also helps to boost collagen production to provide firming and toning to the complexion.

Is Microdermabrasion Good For Acne Scarring?
By removing the top layer of the skin, professional micro abrasion diminishes or even removes superficial acne scarring. Deeper acne scarring requires a more invasive procedure, like a deep chemical peel or laser skin resurfacing.

How much does it cost?
It costs £50. You can also combine it with one of your favourite Elemis facial to help achieve the best results.

ZOOM Teeth Whitening
Maybe you’ve always wanted a beautiful white smile. Or your teeth have yellowed over time. Maybe you’re not happy with the staining that results from drinking coffee, tea or cola.

Whatever your reason for wanting whiter teeth, you’re not alone.

Typical reasons for teeth whitening
Whatever your reason for wanting whiter teeth, you’re not alone. Just like we all have different hair and skin colour, people also have different tooth colour. Some teeth are more yellow than others, while others yellow with ageing. Your natural tooth colour can also be affected by many factors.

Surface stains and internal discolouration can be caused by:
• The natural ageing process.
• Using tobacco, drinking coffee, tea, colas or red wine, and eating pigmented foods such as cherries and blueberries.
• Accumulation of plaque and tartar deposits.
• Ingesting too much fluoride (more than 2 parts fluoride per million parts water) when teeth are forming, which gives teeth a ‘mottled’ look.
• Treatment with the antibiotic tetracycline during childhood.
• Trauma to the teeth that may cause a brown, grey or black colour.

Aftercare
The aftercare procedure is as important as the treatment and it is strongly recommended clients follow a ‘White Diet’ for 48 hours after the treatment. We recommend clients do not consume anything that would stain a white piece of paper.

Foods to avoid for 48 hours are:
• Tea
• Coffee
• Red wine
• Tomato based sauces
• Milk chocolate
• Fruits and vegetables that are high in colour

How Cosmetic Teeth Whitening Works
• The treatment lasts two hours which includes a consultation and a colour match before and after.
• The procedure begins with vitamin E applied to the lip area.
• A retractor is then inserted into the mouth to keep the jaw open.
• A gel is applied directly to the teeth; the client is given goggles to protect their eyes.
• Next, a blue LED lamp is used to active the gel which is left on for 20 minutes.
• The procedure is broken down into 3 x 20 minute sessions followed by a final 30 minute session. Which take place simultaneously.

Cosmetic Teeth Whitening Results
• The impact of the teeth whitening procedure is noticeable immediately.
• The results will vary from person to person, depending on the level of discolouration.
• The results can be maintained for between 6 – 12 months depending on if a regular hygiene routine is followed.
• Most of our client’s teeth improve by between 4 – 10 shades in one session.

What is Threading?
Threading is an ancient hair removal technique using cotton thread, practised for centuries mainly amongst the Asian and Middle Eastern regions.

How does Threading work?
A thin cotton thread is twisted into a double strand which is then swept along the skin in rhythmic movements. The unwanted hairs are secured in the thread and lifted from the follicle with precision and finesse.

Is Threading painful?
Many of my clients and myself would agree that Threading causes less discomfort than brow waxing as it targets individual hairs in stead of removing it as a whole strip. Waxing can also break the hairs whilst being pulled out the skin which will cause ingrowth and if having to repeat the wax over a weed area, some irritation can occur. Whereas Threading can be run over a certain area multiple times without causing any irritation and also no chance of broken hairs. Of course, every individual’s pain threshold is different so it varies from person to person.

Is Threading better then waxing or tweezing?
Yes! Threading is known to be a superior option to waxing and tweezing. This eastern method requires less discomfort and eliminates the chance of irritation such as wax that is too hot. Threading keeps skin irritation to a minimum, excessive pulling around the eyes is eliminated. One of the major drawbacks of waxing and tweezing is that it’s easy to remove the wrong hairs. Threading offers the best solution as the main attribute of threading is precision.

How long does threading last?
Hair is removed from the root so there is a slower regrowth process. Depending on your hair type full regrowth can take from 2 – 6 weeks. Hair will grow back finer and sparse after repeated threading because the hair is pulled out at the root, which causes it to weaken through the process. In the long run, this saves time money and mainly maintenance.

BEAUTY-WAXING REGULAR WAXING WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO MUCH FINER HAIR AND MORE SPARSE RE-GROWTH.

Who is Microblading for?

Anyone who wants to enhance or reconstruct their brows. People who plucked out their brows in the 90s till they never returned, those born with sparse eyebrows, people who have lost their brows through chemo, trichotillomania or alopecia, or simply those looking for a bolder shape.

How does Microblading work?

Microblading uses a fine scalpel-type blade to apply the ink rather than a traditional needle, allowing the practitioner to create a natural-looking brow with short, ultra-fine micro lines that look like individual hairs.

The blade means the colour is implanted closer to the surface of the outer layer of the skin, meaning the strokes are crisp and fine. The fine lines can be applied in the same direction of hair growth, resulting in an appearance that’s as close to a natural brow as it gets.

Does it hurt?
Anaesthetic cream is applied to the brows before the treatment begins and left to settle into the skin while you choose your brow colour. During the treatment, you will feel a scraping sensation but it shouldn’t be particularly painful. More anaesthetic can be added during the treatment to further numb the area if necessary.

How do they heal?
After the first treatment, you will need a second 4 – 8weeks later to review the result and fill in any areas that need it. The brow will fade naturally over 12 – 18 months as the skin rejuvenates, at which time you will need a top-up treatment to retain the shape and colour. A colour top-up can be carried out every 6 months to maintain the depth of tone.

How long does it last?
Microblading is considered semi-permanent so the results can last between 1-3 years, and it is recommended to have regular annual touch-ups to retain their shape and colour.

Pigment Wiper
A very safe way to perform the removal of an old PMU.  The pigment wiper has no acids in the solution but made from fruit extracts and sea salt therefore because of the active substances in it, it gently removes the previous pigment under the skin and cleans the pigment starting from the deepest point. Pigment wiper is a miraculous product that cleans up to 90% of old and unwanted permanent makeup without leaving a scar. The old pigment is removed up to 90 percent but never fully.  In some cases, the final results depend on the previous pigment and may result in less removal.  We can offer this treatment if you wish to just remove the old pigment on the client’s skin whether this is on their brows, lips or eyes, or if you wish to offer your client a new procedure and need the old pigment removed or lightened as majority of the time it is not possible to go over old especially big very deep and dark tattoos and red tattoos. You will do 2 sessions minimum and a maximum of 6 sessions should be applied in a year. Each session must be at least 30-40 days apart from each and in the process the client must comply with the post-procedure care you recommend.

The procedure usually takes 1 – 1.30 hours.

LVL Lash Lift
A lash lift is a bit like an eyelash perm and gives the same effect as using an eyelash curler. It makes your lashes bend upwards, leaving them looking longer, and your eyes more open and brighter. Meanwhile, a lash tint is similar to a brow tint – or applying several coats of mascara. It makes your eyelashes look darker, thicker, and fuller.  A natural, semi-permanent lash treatment, it lasts from 3 – 6 weeks depending on your lashes and how quick they grow also is suitable for clients no matter what their lash length.

The procedure takes about 1 hour.

LVL LASH LIFT

Unlike a traditional lash perm, LVL Enhance will,
• Straighten your lashes at the root
• Thicker Lashes
• Longer Lashes
• Create a mascara style effect

What are ‘Individual Eyelash Extensions’?
Applying individual Eyelash Extensions is a method for lengthening and thickening the appearance of your eyelashes. High quality, synthetic mink or silk based extensions are applied to each individual natural eyelash, one at a time. This process leads to an incredibly natural, head turning finish.

Volume VS Classic
Volume lashes are perfect for clients with less lashes, bald spots or for the impact of a dramatic look. The method we prefer, uses between 2 – 5 extremely light, thin extensions applied delicately on each lash creating a soft, gossamer appearance. This method ensures a show stopper look that is not heavy or damaging to the natural eyelash. For The Classic set we use the traditional method of individual lash application. To each individual natural eyelash, one high quality lash extension is attached. If you are looking for a natural look or already have a lot of natural lashes this set are wonderful. It enhances your own lashes with perfect subtlety.

Brow Lamination
Brow lamination involves the “perming” of your eyebrow hairs to provide a fuller, more even look. It can also help keep them in place after washing off any cosmetics you may wear. … Next, your brow hairs are brushed upward to help pull them in a uniform vertical direction. The treatment is often paired with a brow tint for a bolder enhanced look.

The procedure takes about 1 hour

Massages
Massage is a general term for pressing, rubbing and manipulating your skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments and may range from light stroking to deep pressure.

Studies of the benefits of massage demonstrate that it is an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain and muscle tension.

Swedish Massage
This is a gentle form of massage that uses long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, vibration and tapping to help relax and energise you.

Deep Tissue Massage
This massage technique uses slower, more-forceful strokes to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, commonly to help with muscle damage from injuries. Massage is generally considered part of complementary and alternative medicine. It’s increasingly being offered along with standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and situations.

Studies of the benefits of massage demonstrate that it is an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain and muscle tension. While more research is needed to confirm the benefits of massage, some studies have found massage may also be helpful for:

Anxiety – Digestive disorders – Fibromyalgia – Headaches – Insomnia related to stress – Myofascial pain syndrome – Soft tissue strains or injuries – Sports injuries – Temporomandibular joint pain

Beyond the benefits for specific conditions or diseases, some people enjoy massage because it often produces feelings of caring, comfort and connection. Despite its benefits, massage isn’t meant as a replacement for regular medical care. Let your doctor know you’re trying massage and be sure to follow any standard treatment plans you have.

How often you should get a massage depends on several factors, including your physical and emotional needs; your stress levels; and your budget. There’s no question that you will experience the most health benefits from massage when you get massage regularly.  Massage calms the nervous system, improves blood circulation and lymphatic circulation, relieves muscle pain, and helps with pain management in conditions such as arthritis, sciatica, muscle spasms.
