Injectables V's Facials.

Should it be either or?

Can it be both?


In a world of quick fixes and instant gratification isn't it just nice to climb aboard your therapists treatment bed and let them do all the work?


Lets take a deep dive into the benefits of both:

 

Hands-on facials offer a personalized and deeply relaxing experience, utilizing manual techniques like massage to improve skin health and reduce stress. These facials are more than just a superficial cleanse; they involve skilled manipulation of the skin and facial muscles to achieve specific results, including improved circulation, lymphatic drainage, and muscle relaxation along with sculpting and lifting the muscles.

  • Purpose: Improve overall skin health, hydration, and circulation.
  • Benefits: Clearer skin, reduced puffiness, improved texture, and a more radiant complexion.
  • Duration: Typically 60-90 minutes.
  • Results: Improved skin health and appearance, with cumulative benefits over time.
  • Risks: Minimal, with potential for redness or temporary breakouts. 

Injectables:

  • Purpose:
  • Target specific aesthetic concerns like wrinkles, volume loss, and facial contours. 
  • Types:
  • Botox (for muscle paralysis and wrinkle reduction), fillers (for adding volume and smoothing lines). 
  • Benefits:
  • Immediate and dramatic results, with targeted wrinkle reduction and volume augmentation. 
  • Duration:
  • Results can last from a few months to a year, depending on the specific product and area treated. 
  • Risks:
  • Potential for side effects like swelling, bruising, or allergic reactions, and may require maintenance injections. 


But can we have both?


Well the simple answer is YES so long as you wait ideally 2 weeks after an injectable then you should be fine to resume your hands on routine.

facials and skincare can address other aspects of skin health and potentially help maintain the results of injectables. 

Remember they are working in tandem with each other

Facials

  • are great for overall skin health and rejuvenation, with cumulative benefits over time. 

Injectables

  • are ideal for targeted wrinkle reduction, volume restoration, and enhancing specific facial features, with immediate and potentially longer-lasting results.

Menopause seems to be a 'buzz' word at the moment yet this 'transition' or 'right of passage' which women have been going through since evolution has been brushed under the carpet, misdiagnosed as depression, IBS, 'she's having a moment' or 'she's going through 'the change' (usually followed with an eye roll) etc etc, any of that sound familiar? Would men really be expected to put up and shut up whilst dealing with the challenges of work, ageing parents, teenage children, relationship struggles oh and let's not forget some of the menopause symptoms (of which there are over 30)? Research shows that the more you know about what to expect during menopause the less likely it is to negatively impact your life. (Body Logic Survey) Well, I'm ready to open up the conversation and talk openly and frankly about the 'challenges', the misinformation and 'fake news' surrounding our next chapter...are you ready to discuss the Magic of Menopause? I am offering 1:1 private sessions please email or DM me for further information. I'm looking forward to supporting you all through this next phase. Let's get this conversation started, together we are stronger and empowered. xVx

Reading with interest of late all about the microbiome of the gut and its effect on our health. This has been a topic of conversation on my Masterclass sessions with Super Nutrionist Amanda Hamilton (amanda hamilton.com) and something she has been discussing (and writing about) for some time. Interesting article in todays Times (T2 section) highlighting the importance of our unique microbiome's https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/why-the-future-of-medicine-is-all-in-your-gut-n5vq9d9dd and how a healthy gut can certainly help to ward off some nasty diseases. Also, if you have been subscribed to the Covid Sympton App there have been lots of discussions and findings by Kings College London with a link between Covid-19 and your gut health. They say that the latest scientific research shows that these gut microbiomes play a big role in our health, affecting our immune system and even weight gain. For a good 'gut feeling' try to add 30 or more different plants to your diet each week, I know who knew there were so many plants! Fibre rich foods like wholegrains, beans, pulses, fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Start to include fermented foods such as kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut and kombucha that all contain beneficial probiotic bacteria.
