Psoriasis	Psoriasis is linked to weight problems, psoriatic arthritis, high blood pressure, depression/anxiety & diabetes.  For best results, the underlying cause must be treated for long term results.  Topical skin treatments should be combined with help from your doctor/naturopath.
Smoking is best avoided for all skin types. Smoking dramatically impedes the skin healing ability, and the skins natural immunity.  Smoking leads to lowering of Vitamins C,E,D& A in the body.  All of these vitamins are important for skin function, health & healing – without enough of these vitamins, skin cannot be at its best. Smoking can be responsible for sensitivities in skin, premature ageing, lines, wrinkles, grey, dull and sallow skin tone & slow healing skin.

Most conditions take a month of treatment with diet & supplements for every year that the problem has occurred.  If condition does not improve with the recommendations after the required months, please see a good naturopath or medical practitioner.

Nb:  Please follow directions on supplement label unless otherwise advised by your doctor or naturopath.

Collagen Induction Therapy

What is CIT (Collagen Induction Therapy)? CIT is the use of an electronic skin needling device, to re-surface & strengthen the skin. CIT is a skin clinic only therapy. The resurfacing results are outstanding, and a great alternative to laser resurfacing. A topical anaesthetic is used to make the treatment more comfortable. Amazing results are seen for acne scars, oily skin, lines, wrinkles and fine papery skin types. CIT is also very different from most treatments, as the skin directly under the eye can be treated.

L.E.D. Photodynamic Therapy

L.E.D. (Light Emitting Diode) was first developed by NASA in the 1980’s and studies confirmed that it would regenerate human cells – in fact NASA also proved that wounds exposed to L.E.D. healed 4 to 5 times faster than usual. L.E.D. Photodynamic Therapy is now used in skin clinics to effectively treat most skin types including acne, rosacea, wrinkles, lines, fresh scarring & psoriasis. L.E.D. ...

works so brilliantly on skin because the wave length can be tailored to be delivered to the layer of skin that needs to be targeted, as well as effectively killing damaging bacteria. L.E.D. is also able to treat general tiredness & S.A.D. (seasonal affective disorder). The great news is that L.E.D. is completely pain-free! It is actually really relaxing. A course of 2 treatments a week for 5 weeks will give the best results. Call 97496261 to book your consultation, find out about our launch special package prices and to book your treatment!
