Lava Shell Massage

A revolutionary new treatment from the Tropics – Lava Shells Massage – offers all the benefits of a hot stone massage but with the added bonus of being eco friendly.

 Lava Shells are 100% real recycled Tiger Striped Clam Shells from the South Pacific which heat up internally for up to an hour with a patented combination of all natural minerals and water.

Therapists use between one and four shells to deliver a deep, therapeutic massage with continuous heat and touch. The Lava Shells massage uses shells which have a smooth side to give both deep pressure and a soothing effect. The heat can also be used on problems areas to release muscle tension and soreness and to promote relaxation.

Clean Start

For teens and young adults

Overpromised. Overhyped. Under delivered. If this is your experience with products for your generation, it’s time for Clean Start.

The Clean Start brand was created based upon feedback from a teen council telling us what worked, and what didn’t. The result is a system of products just for your needs – whether you struggle with oiliness, sensitivity, breakouts, or just constantly changing skin!

While this brand delivers all the things you love about Dermalogica (no artificial fragrances or colors, no mineral oil or S.D. alcohol, and no over-blown hype!), it stands on its own to address specific changes in skin during teen and young adult years.

This easy-to-use brand is an easy addition to any routine morning and night. The eight dual-action products help get skin clean, take on issues, and protect skin. You can trust Clean Start by Dermalogica to do good things for your skin with refreshing ingredients that feel and smell great!

Who is Clean Start for?
Pre-teens, teens, and young adults can use Clean Start as part of their skin health regimen.

What makes Clean Start different?
Clean Start is not designed simply for the treatment of breakouts and acne. Clean Start is designed to help bring skin into balance by getting skin clean, taking on issues, and protecting for better-looking skin.

DERMALOGICA LAUNCHES

CHROMAWHITE TRx

A COMPREHENSIVE & SYNERGISTIC WHITENING SYSTEM

      Dermalogica, the skin health experts, announce the launch of ChromaWhite TRx, a new, synergistic skin brightening system that works to lessen the appearance of hyperpigmentation in as little as four weeks. The primary mission of the new product line: to target current pigmentation while protecting skin against further development of hyperpigmentation, for a more consistent, brighter skin tone, free of darkened areas.

Uneven skin tone has been determined to add 10 to 12 years to a woman’s perceived age, according to a 2006 study conducted at Vienna’s Ludwig-Boltzmann Institute for Urban Ecology, with findings published in the scientific journal Evolution and Human Behavior. “The study pointed out that wrinkles aren’t the only visual cue to a woman’s age,” says Dermalogica founder Jane Wurwand. “Skin tone and luminosity have generally been overlooked as indicators of skin health, when in fact these are very significant measurements of skin condition.” In the United States, skin brightening is a growing trend, with the market increasing by 24 percent last year according to Crain’s New York Business.

ChromaWhite TRx is the first brightening system to take a three step approach to controlling hyperpigmentation while simultaneously focusing on improving skin health. Typically, consumers rely on a single treatment product containing skin brighteners, rather than approach pigment-balancing in every aspect of their skin care regimen. Because the production of skin pigmentation is a multi-step process, a multi-step system must be used to control discolouration and produce visible brightening results. With ChromaWhite TRx, consumers will prepare skin for maximum treatment through cleansing and exfoliation, prevent pigmentation formation on a cellular level with targeted treatments, and protect skin from environmental assaults that trigger discolouration with sophisticated treatment moisturizers, including SPF30 protection.

The line introduces seven new products to the internationally respected Dermalogica brand, both professional and retail. Dermalogica enlisted an Asian pharmaceutical company to produce high tech ingredients that have not yet been used in brightening products. In particular, the ChromaWhite TRx system introduces the use of Algae extracts to help control the cellular messenger systems that direct the cells to make pigmentation. The incorporation of Vitamin C and its derivatives such as MAP (Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate), Niacinamide and Ascorbyl Glucoside contribute to the effect of brightening the skin without impairing skin health.

Among the “hero” ingredients are the peptide that controls melanin formation, Lactobacillus/Pumpkin Fruit ferment, Papain, Salicylic and Lactic Acids to exfoliate and stimulate cell renewal and cell turnover, plus Phytic Acid and Zinc Glycinate to inhibit the Tyrosinase enzyme which plays a critical role in melanin formation. Deeply moisturizing ingredients including Shea Butter and Hyaluronic Acid relieve dryness, increase skin suppleness and resiliency.

      Dermalogica revolutionized the skin care industry in 1986 with innovative formulations which excluded common irritants, including SD alcohol, lanolin, mineral oil and artificial colours and fragrances. Launching with a cleanser, spray- toner, moisturizer and scrub which remain among the company’s top-sellers today, industry visionary Jane Wurwand developed the brand from an idea to the world’s most-requested professional skin care brand. Today, Dermalogica is changing the business of skin care again with the introduction of Face Mapping^® skin analysis, MicroZone Treatments^SM and the Skin Bar^SM centre where licensed skin therapists educate the client through skin analysis and treatment and prescriptive retail recommendations.

With summer approaching we find increasing numbers of clients are seeking treatment for thread veins on the legs.  Sclerotherapy is a safe and well-established treatment. It has been used for over fifty years. Although there are a number of alternative treatments which are effective and preferable for thread veins on the face, sclerotherapy remains the most reliable and successful treatment for leg veins.

During your consultation your practitioner should be able to tell you how many sessions you will need, and their cost. This varies according to the quantity and type of veins requiring treatment. Most sessions take half an hour. You should budget for at least three treatments.

The results after one treatment vary considerably from one client to another. Some veins may disappear completely, whilst others may only fade. Some may remain unchanged.

On completion of a successful course of treatment you can expect a 60-70 % improvement in the overall appearance of the affected areas. We hope that you will see enough improvement to increase your confidence in the way your legs look.

Your susceptibility to thread veins does mean that other thread veins may emerge over a period of time. In most cases further treatments will be necessary. Some clients prefer to return each year, whilst others may come back when more veins appear after a few years.

During your initial consultation you will be given a full explanation regarding the side effects of treatments and the follow-up care required.
