Supreme Skin Solutions for Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Are you searching for effective solutions for fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, sun and age spots, freckles and crow’s feet? The good news is that there are quick, easy, efficient and painless solutions for fine lines and wrinkles, splotches, blotches and pigmentation that can leave you looking years younger. For light skin damage, a superficial, fruit acid peel should do the trick; deeper damage needs a chemical or laser peel which effectively ‘resurfaces’ your skin. But if your wrinkles are deep, then you may want to consider Botox™ treatments, which involve micro injections of purified protein to the targeted areas to slightly ‘paralyse’ the underlying muscles, causing the outermost skin to contract, resulting in plumped up, smooth skin. Contact us today and speak to one of our aesthetic consultants about our solutions for fine lines and wrinkles and other skin issues.

THE PRODUCT RANGE
Originally developed and launched in California, USA (2003), this leading skin care range has been available in South Africa since 2007. The key ingredients in the iS Clinical range are mostly derived from botanical sources and can be used by people of all ages, ethnicities and skin types (including sensitive skin). Regular use of these products will promote a healthier, rejuvenated and problem-free skin.
STARTER KITS
iS Clinical products are now conveniently packaged in a series of starter kits. All the products included in these kits serve as additional support to a daily skin care regime and are especially renowned for their effectiveness after a chemical peel. iS Clinical products are successfully applied in the treatment of problematic skin conditions, including Rosecea, Hyper-Pigmentation and Acne. The range also boasts a series specifically designed For Men as well as an Anti-Ageing product collection.
MAIN PRODUCTS
CLEANSING COMPLEX
All the starter kits include a Cleansing Complex (Cleanser) – an essential component of any daily skin care routine. This multi-purpose cleanser also acts as a resurfacing agent, toner, exfoliator and deep cleansing mask. It prepares the skin for ultimate absorbsion and penetration of subsequent treatment products.
SPF25 TREATMENT SUNSCREEN Another important component of a healthy skin care regime is a hydrating moisturizer. The iS Clinical SPF 25 Treatment Sunscreen acts as a hydrating day cream while at the same time providing UVA/UVB protection and is included in all the starter kits.
ACTIVE SERUM The majority of the kits include the highly popular and widely used Active Serum. Deep cleansing, moisturizing and exfoliating – the application of this fast acting, multitasking formula has a long lasting anti-ageing, anti-acneic and brightening effect on the skin. It reduces fine lines and wrinkles, deep-cleans, reduces pores and evens pigmentation.
SUPER SERUM With a high content of Vitamin C and Growth Factor this unique serum acts as an antioxidant while encouraging cell regeneration. Super Serum evens pigmentation, reduces melanin production and is included in the Hyper-Pigmentation product collection.
HYDRA-COOL Available as part of the Acne, For Men and Rosecea product ranges this hydrating serum soothes inflamed skin and reduces skin irritation. Hydra Cool promotes wound healing and the reduction of scar tissue.
PRO-HEAL Pro Heal Serum is mostly known for its healing and reparative properties and is highly effective for the treatment of Rosecea. Individuals with very sensitive, sun-damaged skin will also benefit from use of this product which contains a high concentration of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory elements. Pro Heal Serum is included in the Rosecea condition-specific product range.
YOUTH COMPLEX Youth Complex can be found in the Anti-Ageing product collection and is a highly rejuvenating product. It has a long lasting effect of reducing wrinkles and smoothing out skin. It can be used as an overall facial treatment or to “plump up” specific areas (i.e under the eyes).
PACKAGING
These condition specific ranges can be obtained from The Melrose Aesthetic Centre and are available in Travel, Boxed and Signature kits.

Whether we like it or not getting older is part of our lives, and although we all hope to age gracefully, some of us aren’t as lucky. This, however, is no longer an issue, because as technology and science evolves, so does anti-ageing skin care. Today we are privileged to have a great number of ways to address this issue head-on without having to go through the traumas of surgery. One such treatment is Laser Skin Peel™ available at the high-end The Melrose Aesthetic Centre, one of South Africa’s leading aesthetic and skin care centres.
As a favoured anti-ageing skin care treatment The Melrose Aesthetic Centre’s Laser Skin Peel™ uses Profile Contour™ to bring a new approach to skin peels. The Contour™ system combines two laser sets, which sets the par for high standard laser skin peels. This anti ageing skin care treatment can be used on most skin areas, although the most popular are the face, neck, chest, and hands. Some of the conditions that can be treated with Contour™ are wrinkles, epidermal nevi, acne-, hypertrophic-, and surgical scars, just to name a few.
When you contact The Melrose Aesthetic Centre our highly qualified Aesthetic Specialist will discuss in detail the procedure, with regards to what the laser will do, which areas will be treated, and approximately how long your recovery will take. There are some discomfort, but this varies from patient to patient. If you are uncomfortable with pain, your Aesthetic Specialist will be able to afford you with anaesthesia options in order to control your discomfort during your anti ageing skin care treatment. At the end of your treatment you will have to follow the strict instructions for your aftercare treatment, but once all is done, you will soon be able to enjoy looking and feeling young again!
Should you be interested in more information or would like to book an appointment for The Melrose Aesthetic Centre’s unique range of anti-ageing skin care treatments, simply contact us today, and we will help you become a more beautiful, radiant you!
