A testimonial from a client who had suffered from severe acne for most of her life…
I had moderate to severe acne from my young teens. I thought that I would outgrow it by my early 20’s, but once I had finished university at the age of 23, I realised it wasn’t going to happen. I decided I was going to take serous action to clear my acne and improve my skin’s condition. I subsequently tried various face products for a few months and my skin didn’t improve, in fact it was getting worse. I then decided I would go to The Melrose Aesthetic Centre to see what could be done.
Initially I was worried that the doctors might recommend that I go on roaccuatine or the pill. I was pleasantly surprised to find these were not prescribed for me and that there are other effective options. I was also very comfortable with Dr Cohen – I felt that he really knew what he was talking about and that he would be able to sort my skin out.
My hope was that I could clear all my acne for good and then also clear all the pigmentation and indented scars. I haven’t completed my treatment yet, but have been undergoing treatments for about 4 months. My skin is greatly improved – I would say at this stage my acne has cleared up about 85% and is progressively getting better. Now that I am at this level I can begin to undergo treatment for the scarring. I look forward to seeing the results!
All my family and friends have commented on how much better and clearer my skin is looking and I am very satisfied with my results.

Clay Masks: An Effective Treatment For Oily Skin
With so many harmful chemical products available, it is reassuring to know that natural products can also be successful. An effective treatment for oily skin is to use a clay mask approximately once a week.
A clay mask can be an effective natural way of clearing away excess oil from the skin without excessively drying the skin. One of the reasons clay masks is such an effective treatment for oily skin is because it tightens the skin pores and prevents them from getting blocked.
As the clay mask dries after it has been applied, it effectively absorbs the excess oil from the surface of the skin, along with dirt and dead skin cells.

While most types of skin diseases are harmless, some of them can be fatal. It is vital to keep your skin healthy. Some of the most common types of skin treatments are microdermabrasion, chemical peels and exfoliation.
Microdermabrasion is a process that uses a small handheld device to polish the skin’s surface with tiny crystals. This is a skin treatment that should be performed by a dermatologist as the skin can be bruised if it is pressed too hard. A chemical peel is a skin treatment that consists of applying a special solution created to dissolve skin layers.
Exfoliation can be done at home and it is by far the cheapest type of skin treatment. It will trigger new skin cell production, improving radiance and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Laser Treatment for Jowls
As we age, inevitably our eyelids droop, wrinkles form, chins drop and saggy jowls develop. The good news is that there are a wide range of painless aesthetic treatments available to help you lift these areas back to where they used to be, quickly and efficiently. One of the treatments offered at the Melrose Aesthetic Centre, namely SkinTyte™, will quickly tighten and firm drooping eyelids, mouths, chins and jowls. The procedure involves the use of selective thermolysis, deeply heating the dermal collagen under your skin and promoting partial denaturation and contraction of the collagen. The heat also kickstarts the body’s natural healing processes, resulting in the creation of a fresh collagen foundation and skin that is soft, smooth and tight. Contact us today to find out about how our range of skin treatments can help you eliminate saggy chins and jowls and firm up your appearance.
