TIPS FROM THE EXPERTS :
Dr Sophie Shotter , founder and medical director of Illuminate Skin Clinic
“ I think technology certainly is helpful towards obtaining that beautiful flawless skin , but they are also not an ‘ instead of ’ a good home care regime . But the right technology treatments can certainly amplify results where skin is concerned , be that through stimulating collagen to provide more firmness , smoothing out lines and wrinkles or improving the appearance of pores and skin texture . My personal favourite technology devices for improving skin are microneedling , Venus Viva nanofractional radiofrequency , EMFace and Byonik .”
DR SOPHIE SHOTTER
Tony Pemberton , precision wellness practitioner at Epic Genetics
“ Straight after cleaning my face in the morning I apply a peptide Argireline , which is a mild muscle relaxant , myself being someone that frowns a lot ! This has been enriched with another peptide called GHK-Cu , a peptide that stimulates the production of collagen . As we get older , we produce less of this peptide . Doing redlight therapy also stimulates this too , but a free alternative is getting sunrise exposure , this spectrum of a light doesn ' t contain high amounts of the damaging UVAs & UVBs either .
“ I now use a non-greasy SPF50 all year round . In the evening I use hyaluronic acid , followed by retinol . Once a week I use berry acid face peel , this helps the peptides and hyaluronic acid permeate your skin . Finally I use a derma pen once a month , this depth is different for everyone , but it should never be painful or leave your skin anything more than mildly flushed !”
