Skin
Your Skin behaves differently as you age. Find out how to keep your skin smooth, bright and healthy.
As your skin ages you need to treat it differently. Regular exfoliation (but not too much!), hydration and highly-active skin care – combined with a healthy lifestyle – can help clear adult acne, smooth skin, and brighten skin tone.
More women than ever are experiencing adult acne linked to chronic stress, hormonal changes, lifestyle, and environment. To keep breakouts under control, focus on managing stress and eating healthy, supplement your skin care routine with the right products, and seek professional advice. Talk to our Dermalogica skin therapist about how to adjust your skin care routine accordingly.

Under Eyes
Want to find a way to clear the chicken skin under your eyes.
Milia, Syringomas, Keratosis pilaris.
Just some of the names for visible oil glands under the eyes.
Flat bumps, chicken skin, little round white spots.
Those irritating physiological or physical annoyances.
Spoils the look of eye make-up, or you just wish they were not there.
Milia could be large white spots or a cluster of little white ones. Just a build up of oil and sebum and Keratin in your skin pores
Milia can be lanced, electrolysis, or exfoliated.
Keratosis Pilaris. These rough raised bumps can be found any where on the body especially on the back of the arms, can be caused by deodorants that have aluminium, or a build up of dead skin cells inside the hair follicles.
Keratosis, exfoliate, keep the skin from being too dry.
Syringomas, I will confirm that is a non-cancerous bump, which are usually found on the cheeks and under the eyes and are usually causes by the overgrowth of cells from sweat glands.
Not a lot can be done to remove them, they may need to see a skin therapist who may recommend a dermatologist if it really bothers you. It’s not one of the easy to treat conditions.
Usually, these bumps do disappear on their own, but some may need a little help on their way.
Come in and see us at Elaine’s to discuss the way forward to eradicating these unwanted bumps.
Massage
What type of massage would you like?
There are all sorts of massages: sports massage, deep tissue massage, detoxifying massage, Indian head massage, massage for Pregnancy, menstrual-menopause, Therapeutic, Stress-relief, shiatsu (what’s that?) Lymph drainage, and Reflexology. So many to choose from, what one, do you need?
Here at Elaine’s, we will consult and discuss what you need – find what your body and mind require.
You may sit or lie down for the treatment. You are covered, on a special couch, in a warm room, subdued lighting and atmosphere to reflect the mood, music if you like. When time is not an issue a long, luxurious massage can take up to an hour. We can work to your schedule – we offer a quick 20-minute massage if time is not on your side.
Beauty Therapy with Cancer
Finding that you have cancer is devastating, and coming to terms with the cancer treatment, the last thing on your mind is how to look after yourself, keeping your skin, hair and nails healthy and looking good. Giving yourself a beauty treatment can help to give yourself a lift which will be a real boost to your self-esteem.
It will be important to maintain some semblance of normality in your everyday routine, when nothing is going to be normal again. Giving your skin a deep moisturising treatment or an all over body treatment will help to keep you going.
It has been proved that aromatherapy massage and reflexology is beneficial for a cancer patient. Elaines has worked with Marie Curie Cancer Care using special oils for the massage to improve systems and quality of life.

Hyperpigmentation
Let’s look on how to treat hyperpigmentation and scarring caused by acne, medication and UV effect on the skin.
What is hyperpigmentation? Hyperpigmentation is a term used to describe discolouration on the skin or those unwanted brown spots. Hyperpigmentation is an overproduction of melanin from the melanocytes, (a cell in the skin and eyes that produces and has the pigment called melanin), that travels its way up to the surface of the skin where you see the brown discolouration.
Microneedling
Microneedling offers an impressive array of results, the micro-injuries created by the needles allow skincare products to penetrate deeper through the micro-channels you have created in the skin, meaning all those actives you have applied will have better absorption.
Microneedling allows vital skincare ingredients to reach deeper layers of the skin, enhancing the benefits of topical products to achieve better results.
What is microneedling?
Microneedling uses small sterile needles, either attached to a handheld stamping device or on a roller, which make micro-injuries in the skin.
These small wounds kick the skin’s natural healing process into gear, which then stimulates collagen production in the dermis, making it ideal for clients with skin slackness (loss of collagen) who want a plumper, firmer complexion.
It is not only a treatment for firmer, smoother skin, it can also reduce scarring and pigmentation and make pores appear smaller.
Luminfuaion
Improved skin luminosity, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, which instantly reveals radiant skin.
What is Luminfusion?
Luminfusion is part of our NanoinFusion treatment.
Luminfusion is a supercharged skin service which takes luminosity to a whole new level of skin care and draws on the use of Nanoinfusion with dermalogica products, professional-grade exfoliants and masques. This 60-minute service takes a unique approach with advanced exfoliation using different types of exfoliations at once using Nanoinfusion technology and LED light therapy.
"Luminfusion is our (dermalogica) trademark name for the treatment which stacks exfoliation. NanoinFusion is the practice of infusing the skin with actives using the Nano tip to create channels in the skin"
This is a very relaxing treatment with optional shoulder massage during your treatment.
