After extensive research, we have selected four companies to supply our product ranges. Each range is medically researched and formulated and available exclusively to cosmetic doctors, surgeons and clinics.
Sun Damage
The four stages of a good skincare regime should be; Cleanse, Nourish, Treat and Protect. Whilst all are important, any good done by the first three and any skin improvement treatments you may have, will be undone if you do not protect your skin from the Sun. Sun damage is caused by exposure to Ultraviolet radiation (UV) in the forms of UVA and UVB.
UVA is 95% of UV and penetrates into the dermis (the skin's deeper layer) even on cloudy and dull days, damaging our skin. UVA speeds up the skin's ageing process by triggering free radicals that damage collagen and elastin (the skin’s scaffolding). It can cause pigmentation problems, skin reactions and in the most serious cases, skin cancer.
UVB only penetrates the epidermis (the skin’s upper layer) and is the type of UV that produces a tan on sunny days. However appealing a tan may seem, the burning and reddening of the skin in advance of tanning damages the epidermal layer of the skin (in a way that is harder to repair than the damage caused by UVA), reduces natural defences and causes skin cancer.
All our product ranges include products with built-in sun protection from UVA & UVB and we have a specific sun protection range that also offers protection from both.
