Cosmetics & aesthetics CONTINUED FROM PAGE 44 “Unfortunately, as we age or get


a lot of UV exposure, or our skin is stressed and unhealthy, this balance of lipids alters and the ratio changes. With this critical shift in ratio comes poorer adhesion between cells, opening of the upper layers, and a defective barrier. T is allows unwanted things to penetrate like UV light, pollutants and irritants, and products such as parabens. Skin looks dry, fl aky and feels tight and sensitive. Dry skin also looks less lustrous and more wrinkled.” Dr Patterson recommends


Epionce’s medical skincare product Intense Defense Serum (epionce.com). He says: “Avoid cleansing wipes, harsh cleansers containing glycolic acid and soaps. All great for ‘cleaning’, but they draw out the healthy lipids and dry the skin further. Avoid toners for the same reason. Many over exfoliate. “For moisturisers, I favour


the Renewal Facial products in the Epionce range. Designed to penetrate deep into the skin, they dampen down unwanted chronic infl ammation leaving skin healthier and better able to repair itself. T ey’re blended from a wide range of botanicals all been selected because they’re active in the skin.”


THE CLINICAL WAY T e Cadogan Clinic (cadoganclinic. com), in Chelsea, west London, uses new stem-cell technology, which can help care for mature skin. T e clinic uses various techniques from microneedling to mesotherapy. Microneedling is a multi-function


treatment that uses small needles to cause tiny punctures in the skin.


T ese micro perforations trigger a wound-healing response in the body that helps renew skin cells. As the skin repairs, the production of collagen and elastin is triggered to give an almost immediate plumping eff ect. T is treatment is most commonly used to combat scarring, enlarged pores, lines and wrinkles, loose and non-elastic skin, eye bags and sun damage such as age spots. T e latest generation of peels at


the Cadogan Clinic are individually tailored to skin type and age. T e peels are designed to exfoliate the skin to encourage the regeneration of new skin cells. T ey’re not limited to the face; these rejuvenating treatments can also be used to refresh the hands, neck and chest, to create a more complete age-defying eff ect. It can be used to achieve a healthy glow and improve tone and texture.


Mesotherapy is a fusion


of vitamins, minerals and amino acids that are injected into the skin with tiny needles to help the skin rejuvenate and repair. Mesotherapy stimulates collagen production, which promotes elasticity in the skin. It achieves excellent results on cellulite, stretch marks, acne scarring, sun-damaged skin and dark circles under the eyes, or simply for skin rejuvenation.
