OUR CURE FOR WINTER DRYNESS: A MOTHER’S DAY GIFT AND A FAB WEEKEND GETAWAY!

Being a mother is more often than not about everyone else… but, with Mother’s Day just around the corner, we would like to dedicate this newsletter especially to those special women among our clients who know the joy, challenges and pride that come with being a mother. At The Melrose Aesthetic Centre, May is all about you!
Our Mother’s Day gift: Get R350 discount on all superficial peel / Mesotherapy combo and depigmentation treatments.  

FOCUS ON PIGMENTATION

As we say farewell to the sultry days of summer and welcome the cosiness of winter, we have to think about all the time we’ve spent in the sun and the possible consequences for our skin. We might have exposed ourselves to harmful UV rays and now is the time to act and repair possible damage. Our BBL and Cosmelan treatments yield excellent results in the treatment of pigmentation and winter is the ideal time to undergo these treatments and get that flawless complexion back.  

BRING AND END TO WINTER DRYNESS

Yes, there are cosy nights in front of fireplaces and hearty casseroles, but the dry Highveld winter also brings with it dehydration of the skin. Skin peels do wonders for resurfacing the skin and preparing it for hydration with mesotherapy.
The light superficial peel gets rid of dry, dead skin cells, while mesotherapy feeds the epidermis with nutrients and anti-oxidants, leaving the skin healthy and hydrated. Juvederm Hydrate restores and replenishes depleted levels of hyaluronic acid in the skin. Boost your skin’s natural tone, glow and elasticity with Juvederm Hydrate for younger looking, beautiful skin.  

THIS WINTER – RESURFACE, REVIVE, REJUVENATE

Relive your youth and revive your skin with the ultimate anti-ageing treatment – a non-surgical facelift. We have been performing laser resurfacing treatments with increasing success and it remains the ultimate way of regaining a flawless complexion.
Winter is the ideal time to undergo laser treatments as sun exposure is less severe and it’s easier to remain indoors for the few days of down time that’s required. Think about how a once-off treatment can transform you and your life, and then give us a call. It will change your life!!

iS CLINICAL CREAM CLEANSER

Developed by Innovative Skincare, this is a lightweight moisturizing cleansing cream, which is both powerful and gentle enough to be used on even the most sensitive skin. This product deep-cleanses without drying and is excellent for removing make-up. It’s compatible with all skin types, even sensitive skin and leaves skin fresh and smooth.
Wipe-off technology means that the product doesn’t have to be washed off with water, but simply wiped off. It’s a marvel of convenience and is now available at The Melrose Aesthetic Centre.

At the Melrose Aesthetic Centre we use a range of chemical peels as one of our skin rejuvenation treatments. The peels can be used to treat various skin conditions such as wrinkles, bad skin pigmentation, precancerous skin growths and acne scars for which the peels offer a long term and effective solution.

We have had a lot of positive feedback from our patients opting for chemical peels as their skin rejuvenation treatments. The chemical solution is applied to the problem area of skin needing treatment or to the entire facial area, resulting in a fresh, renewed skin.

Skin Rejuvenation for Flawless-looking Skin

We all want and work to gain the perfect complexion. Skin without lines or wrinkles, that glow with youthful exuberance. With skin rejuvenation this is all too possible. One of the treatments available on the market today is known as mesotherapy. Mesotherapy consist of a conventional or homeopathic medication and/or vitamins cocktail which are injected into the mesoderm or middle layer of the skin by means of micro-injections. For skin rejuvenation mesotherapy helps to revitalise your skin to give it that firm, radiant and youthful look and feel.

For more information on mesotherapy or to speak to one of our highly experienced aesthetic consultants simply contact us today so that you may reap the beautiful benefits of skin rejuvenation.
