It is that time of year where everyone frantically tries to tick off their to-do lists before the summer holidays. There’s a reason they call it the silly season you know, and it’s not just because the drinks tend to flow on rather random nights of the week.

Hurrying here, scurrying there, sometimes it’s not easy to remember to kick back and allow some time for rest and relaxation. Of course all of that also means your body can take a bit of a battering, so to prepare your skin you might want to look at a little something dubbed Fraxel DUAL.

This safe, non-invasive new treatment shows dramatic results in the treating of sun damage, wrinkles and pigmentation with very little downtime. That means less time to recover and more time to enjoy, something we can all appreciate.

The Fraxel DUAL consists of two laser components which, depending on the needs, can be used separately or together. The pigment-busting 1927nm Thulium fibre laser treats texture, pores, fine lines and pre-cancerous skin cells.

The upgraded resurfacing non-ablative fractional 1550nm Erbium component, on the other hand, is used to treat wrinkles, acne scars, texture and tone. The skin improves as collagen rebuilds over the next few months and the results tend to speak for themselves.

Due to the integrated cooling system in the hand piece used during the process, comfort is ensured throughout treatment. The overall appearance of the skin is vastly improved as the growth of new and healthy skin cells are stimulated. The face, neck, décolleté, hands and arms can also be treated with the Fraxel DUAL, which is sensitive enough to be used on all skin types.

Visible results are achieved within two to three treatments, with the end result shining through after around two to three months. The skin may feel sunburnt and sensitive the first day after the treatment so don’t freak out, but once the skin has renewed itself there will be an improved texture. You will also notice an improvement in pigmentation and sunspots, with wrinkles noticeably reduced and acne scars less visible.

All of the above adds up to happier and healthier skin, something that we can all appreciate as we celebrate the festive season with friends and family. Check out Skin Renewal for more information on this and other procedures and look after your skin this summer, sunscreen is your friend.
