Why Consistency is Everything
Today we chat to Skin Therapist Bernice about Georgia’s treatment plan, Dermapen, and why consistency is everything!
Our lovely client Georgia has agreed to share her “skin health” journey. She has been having regular Dermapen treatments and following an active skincare home routine.
Why should you commit to a membership rather than a one-off treatment?
Because results won’t happen instantly! In the same way you wouldn’t visit one fitness class and do one day of healthy eating and expect a transformation, great results take dedication and commitment. When you commit to a skin membership, we can adjust your treatment plan by analysing the skin as we progress. It’s important to tailor your treatments if you want to achieve the ultimate skin outcomes.
The second reason is that a membership will give you the best results within the shortest time frame. This is because you’re spaced with optimum time between treatments to encourage skin rejuvenation. If you’re just popping in for occasional treatments, the results won’t quite measure up. In this way it works out more cost effective, PLUS you get a discount on home-care products too.
It amazes me how so many women have designer handbags or shoes, the most expensive makeup and the latest phones, but they buy their skincare from the supermarket! Girl, we need to talk. Your skin is on show all the time, and it’s going to be with you for your entire life – treat it well!
Can you be consistent with any skincare product and get results?
Well, no. Consistency is key, but it’s also all about what you use. Consistently eating junk food won’t help you fit into your skinny jeans! The same can be applied to your skin.
It’s important to be consistently using products containing active ingredients that have been specifically prescribed to you. This will ensure you will reach your desired skin results as quickly as possible.
I often get asked if a client can continue to use their supermarket or pharmacy skincare while getting Dermapen treatments, and I urge that they don’t do this. Why would you not want to boost your results with skincare that is created specifically to transform and improve the skin?
Products available in the supermarket are not recommended by a skin professional. These products are designed to offer general care such as washing and moisturising, without the risk of irritating the wrong skin type.
Whilst they can provide simple maintenance, they don’t have the power to actively correct targeted skin concerns – to reverse the symptoms of ageing, pigmentation or acne.
Although many supermarket products may contain some of the same active ingredients boasted by clinical and professional counterparts, the percentage is too low to provide any long-lasting or skin correcting effect. A higher concentration will bring the best results, and this can only be present in medical-grade “active” products.
Can’t we just get botox for “instant” results – who has time for consistency!?
There’s definitely a time and a place for Botox, but think of it like fixing a roof. You can paint over it and patch it up, but a few months later things won’t have really improved, and will only get worse. By fixing, refining and improving the actual structure of the roof, you’re left with better and long-term results.
Dermapen treats the structure of the skin itself, rather than just freezing the muscle under it to limit movement. It works to improve the barrier of the skin epidermis and the texture, improving hydration and reducing fine lines and pigmentation through natural rejuvenation.
You can certainly do both eventually, but I prefer to make you look as good as possible for your age, and Dermapen is all about softening the ageing process and improving the skin.
It also works on the entire face, the neck and the décolletage area too. What we are actually creating is your own natural collagen (that amazing protein that keeps us looking young!). No frozen facial expression, freedom to move your face, just you – but a few years younger, fresher and more glowing. Yes, please!
