Here’s how to spring clean your skincare routine:  

1. Eliminate dead skin cell build-up from winter

Treatments:

First things first, it’s time to clear away all the dead skin that’s built up over the long winter months and for this, we recommend our Resurface & Rejuvenate package. This is because its unique combination of Laser Genesis, Procedure Peel and a dose of LED Light Therapy, works to remove old skin cells and stimulate collagen revealing glowing, smooth and clear skin.  

Skincare:

As humidity rises, our skin becomes more receptive to exfoliating. Embrace the transition and support your resurfacing treatments with a gentle exfoliant at home. This can be a physical or chemical exfoliant – our clinicians will recommend the best product for your skin. Also consider transitioning to a lighter moisturiser like Rationale’s #2 The Hydragel as your skin’s oil production adjusts to the warmer weather.

2. Plump and hydrate for that spring glow

Treatments:

Once you’ve got a smooth canvas, it’s time to give your skin a nice big drink of water. Because of the way it deeply hydrates your skin, we recommend our signature HydraFacial treatment. This is not your everyday facial. It features a unique soft suction headpiece which removes dirt from your pores, deeply cleanses, and infuses your skin with rich antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, peptides and other essential nutrients.

Looking for a longer lasting glow? Try our bio-remodelling treatment, which creates hydration in the tissue where it is needed due to its high spreadability resulting in hydrated and smoother skin.

Skincare:

In addition to using a lighter moisturiser, look for hydrating formulas and cremes that are high in antioxidants to really let your skin soak up the moisture and recover from the dryness of winter. Face masks like Rationale’s #2 The Mask are a great way to supplement and keep that spring glow between treatments.

3. Tighten and tone in spring

Treatments:

Noticing your skin starting to sag around your chin and neck? Tighten and tone your complexion with our range of skin tightening treatments. Using either ultrasound or radiofrequency technology, our Ultraformer III and Thermage treatments non-invasively lift and tighten sagging skin with long-lasting results and no downtime.

Indulged in a few too many comfort foods over the winter season? Try our range of body contouring treatments. Using thermal technology, our truSculpt treatments non-invasively destroy stubborn pockets of fat to help you achieve a slimmer, more contoured body shape.

4. Protect your skin ahead of summer

Skincare:

Lastly, no matter what season you’re in, always remember to protect your skin with SPF! Look for at least SPF 50+ and make sure you’re using it every day, even when you’re in doors or it’s cloudy. Because UV rays still penetrate through clouds and windows!

Myth #1: Aesthetic Treatments are for Women

Aesthetic treatments are effective for both men and women, with, a rise in the number of men seeking aesthetic enhancements to put their best face forward. This increase is not solely due to women sharing their aesthetic experiences; numerous male celebrities have openly discussed the treatments they undergo to enhance their appearance.

This candidness from public figures has influenced younger generations of men to prioritise their aesthetics and explore treatments that help them look and feel their best.

Myth #2: Anti-Wrinkle Injections are only for Women

Anti-wrinkle injections, often associated with women, have become an increasingly popular choice among men. Over 40% of aesthetic treatments at Artisan for men are anti-wrinkle injections, making it the most sought-after treatment among the male demographic.

These injections provide a powerful tool for men to combat the signs of ageing and maintain a youthful appearance.

Myth #3: Only Young Men Seek Aesthetic Treatments

Men seeking aesthetic treatments span across age groups, similar to women. Our treatments help with a variety of skin conditions appearing at any age, from helping with acne scarring and shrinking the appearance of pores to reducing pigmentation and clearing the veins around the nose and face. At Artisan, we see men of all ages, with one in four male clients in their 30s and one in five in their 40s.

Learn more about how to care for your skin at every age.

What treatments are men having?

Different treatments resonate with different people. We all have different skin concerns and can benefit from a tailored treatment plan to optimise our skin’s health, integrity and appearance. This is no different for the male demographic, however there are rising trends which differentiate the most popular treatments for men from those for women.

Men are likely to seek treatments for wrinkles, pigmentation and skin rejuvenation, and the most common treatments are anti-wrinkle injections, HydraFacial, LED light therapy, dermal filler and intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy. At Artisan, we also see a rising trend in male clients for laser vein or vascular treatments, including those spidery veins common on noses. If you’re not sure what’s right for you, book a consultation with our experienced clinicians who can analyse your skin, understand your goals and recommend a treatment plan.

Learn more about these rising skin and cosmetic injectable treatments for men.

Shattering Stereotypes

As the stereotypes surrounding male aesthetics continue to shatter, it’s an opportune time to encourage the men in our lives to explore the world of skin and cosmetic injectables treatments. The era of dismissing aesthetic treatments as exclusive to women has passed, replaced by an inclusive movement where men can confidently invest in their appearance. Whether it’s addressing wrinkles, revitalising the skin or targeting specific concerns, the options are abundant and at Artisan, they are always tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients.

The male aesthetic renaissance is well underway. The data is clear, the myths are crumbling, and men are stepping into the world of skin and injectables treatments with enthusiasm and determination to look and feel his best. So, give the man in your life a nudge—empower him to explore the possibilities and embark on his own skin journey.

1. Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Disrupting the stereotype that associates anti-wrinkle injections with women, men too can benefit from this treatment. Anti-wrinkle injections temporarily ease the muscles responsible for wrinkles. This relaxation diminishes fine lines and wrinkles, notably in areas like frown and forehead (from $345) and crow’s feet (from $300).

The result is a more youthful appearance that maintains masculine facial expressions.

2. HydraFacial

HydraFacial is the second most popular treatment for both men and women in our clinics. This invigorating treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production, resurfacing the skin for improved clarity and vibrancy. Starting with a gentle exfoliation to eliminate dead skin cells, HydraFacial targets impurities with extractions and nourishes the skin with a hydrating serum that leaves the skin radiant and plump. Its results go beyond hydrating and exfoliating the skin, with benefits extending to help reduce congestion, refine pores, even skin tone and combat the signs of ageing.

Our HydraFacial treatments start from $205 for a signature HydraFacial, with various deluxe add-ons to address your individual skin concerns.

3. Laser Vein and Vascular Treatments for Men

Men grappling with visible veins, like spider veins and broken capillaries on the nose and face, can benefit from laser vein and vascular treatments. This treatment harnesses focused laser energy to gently heat and collapse problematic veins, tackling issues such as:

• Facial telangiectasia
• Rosacea
• Spider and leg veins
• Poikiloderma

Over time, the body naturally eliminates damaged cells, leading to diminished veins and pigmentation and restoring skin clarity.

Pricing starts from $50 for a spot treatment or $250 for one area (for example, face, neck, hands or décolletage).

*Results may vary from person to person.

Skin and Cosmetic Injectable Treatments

In the realm of aesthetic treatments, more and more men are embracing the benefits that skin, cosmetic injectables and body contouring can offer. We recommend booking in for a complimentary consultation, where you can discuss your skin concerns with an expert clinician and develop a treatment plan to help you achieve your skin goals.

The desire to lift and tighten our skin tends to become a priority as we age. Many clients start to experience thinner, loose or sagging skin by their 40s, particularly in areas such as the neck, décolletage and jowls.

This guide covers some of the skin tightening treatments, products and lifestyle factors that might form part of that treatment plan. We’ll cover:

• non-surgical treatments like ultrasound, radiofrequency, skin needling and PDO threads
• cosmeceutical skincare to complement your treatment plan
• lifestyle factors that influence your skin

With expert care and the right treatment plan, you can achieve a tighter and more youthful appearance.

The Causes of Loose Skin

Before we delve into the different skin tightening methods available, it’s important to understand the causes of loose skin.

1. The Ageing Process: As we age, we naturally produce less collagen and elastin. This decrease in key proteins, combined with gravity, causes our skin to become less firm and appear saggy over time.
2. Excess Sun Exposure: UV radiation from the sun can damage collagen and elastin fibres in the skin, causing the ageing process to quicken and leaving you with looser skin.
3. Weight Loss: Losing weight can lead to saggy skin as the skin loses its elasticity and struggles to adjust to its new shape, resulting in loose or (with significant weight loss) hanging skin.

Gone are the days when surgical tightening was the only option to help treat sagging skin – a procedure where risk, recovery and pain were involved. Our clinicians know how to deliver natural-looking results with a range of non-invasive treatments to tighten and lift the skin for a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance.

Skin Tightening Treatment: Ultraformer III

Ultraformer III is an innovation in non-surgical skin tightening and lifting.

It delivers MMFU (Micro and Macro Focused Ultrasound) technology deep below the skin’s surface, precisely targeting multiple deeper layers of the skin – including the layer that surgeons pull back when doing a face lift – causing new collagen stimulation and providing long-term tightening of the skin.

Used to treat all areas on the face and body, this treatment is ideal for tightening sagging skin around the neck and décolletage as well as superficial wrinkles around the eyes and lips.

THERMAGE FLX

Described as a non-invasive ‘face lift’, our Thermage® skin tightening treatment tightens and contours whilst reducing the signs of ageing. It gently heats your skin with radiofrequency, tightening and stimulating collagen for a smoother, firmer and more youthful complexion.

Used to treat most areas of the face and body, this treatment is ideal for tightening, lifting and smoothing skin, particularly around the neck and décolletage.

Taken 12 weeks after one treatment of Thermage FLX
*Results may vary from person to person

PROFOUND

Profound is an energy-based, skin-needling treatment designed to create new elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid – the building blocks that keep your skin smooth and elastic.

It works by penetrating the skin at a precise depth with tiny needles, before momentarily releasing a burst of radiofrequency energy (heat). This stimulates collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, resulting in a tighter, smoother, more lifted appearance.

Profound improves the appearance of ageing skin and can also help to reduce cellulite.

SKIN NEEDLING

Skin needling is a non-invasive treatment that restores and rejuvenates the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin formation to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, tighten and improve elasticity, shrink enlarged pores, minimise scarring, and assist with the management of pigmentation and ageing skin.

Used to treat the face, neck and décolletage, this treatment is ideal for skin that is just beginning to show the signs of ageing or is dull and lacking radiance.

Many clients combine their treatment with platelet rich plasma (PRP) to further brighten and heal their skin.

PDO MEHCANICAL THREADS

The Paris Lift non-surgically repositions and supports sagging skin caused by ageing. It uses PDO (polydioxanone) mechanical threads, a safe, biodegradable suture material that has been used in medical settings for over 30 years. These threads are placed just under the skin and then pulled taut, lifting the skin and giving it a more youthful appearance.

This treatment is ideal for reducing deep nasolabial folds, heavy jowls, and sagging cheeks. It can also sharpen your jawline and restore lost volume.

Skincare

A well-crafted skincare routine from quality cosmeceuticals is an essential component of your treatment plan to tighter, smoother skin. This can help with:

• Providing your skin with the vitamins, minerals, and active ingredients necessary to support the skin’s architecture
• Delivering antioxidants to help combat the damage caused by UV exposure, pollution, and poor habits
• Protecting your skin with a quality SPF to shield it from the sun

When reviewing your treatment plan, your clinician will work with you to find the best cosmeceuticals for you.

Lifestyle

While skin tightening treatments can lift and tighten your skin, lifestyle factors can help to prevent the onset of loose or saggy skin. A healthy diet, regular exercise and effective stress management techniques can protect your skin from free radicals and promote the production of collagen and elastin.

Speak to your clinician about how adopting a healthier lifestyle can help you achieve your skin goals.

WINTER SKIN CARE

As we head into July, sweeping cold fronts travel across inland Australia to the coasts causing humidity levels and temperatures to plummet and although we continue to be battered by rain storms, the cold mornings and mild days keep the moisture on the ground, rather than in the air.

The weather change sets off a chain reaction in our daily routines as we reach for our winter clothes in the wardrobe, fire up the indoor heating, switch up the menu and turn up the hot water in the shower.

Artisan’s Medical Director Dr. Fox explains “it’s important to expect and react to environmental changes with seasonality, and to adjust any skin care regime accordingly to ensure optimal skin care. Various treatment modalities may be best at different times of year such as Fraxel in the winter for example. Our dermal therapists are best placed to advise our clients according to their skin type and any issues they may have. As ever its a bespoke approach, and expert advice is essential”.

OILS

As we age, our skin’s sebaceous activity (sebum oil production) decreases which leads to increased dryness. To make things worse, turning the heat up in the shower and using harsh products such as foaming cleansers and physical exfoliants can remove natural oils and send the skin into overdrive causing skin irritation, breakouts and congestion.

Try keeping the temperature in the shower at lukewarm and resist the urge to crank up the heat. Pat your skin dry and apply a scent free moisturiser post shower to help promote hydration.

With ceramides and vital lipids, the RATIONALE Integrity Collection (#4) can be used to encourage night time repair and help you overcome dry and irritated skin.

The crackling fireplace emanates heat as you snuggle up under a blanket with a hot chocolate in hand. Or maybe you don’t have a fireplace – but the heater hums softly in the background, sending waves of warmth to every corner of your space.  

The shower becomes an indulgence of hot, and sometimes scalding, water.  

Even the taps are set to warm to help you escape the icy water every time you need to wash your hands. 

Unfortunately, these changes in routine can come at a cost to your skin.  

If you’re experiencing dry and brittle skin, our winter skin packages might be for you. A curated selection of treatments, these packages are designed to deeply hydrate, nourish and reset your skin for a radiant glow. 

Read on to learn more about these packages and how they can help you save your skin this winter. 

1. Clear Complexion 

Clear Complexion is the go-to package to help restore your skin’s natural glow and remove signs of damage after a summer in the sun. 

What’s included: 

• Two Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy treatments to bring pigmentation to the surface, and to lessen or eliminate blemishes 
• Ultraceuticals Brightening Accelerator Mask, a select combination of AHA, salicylic acids, niacinamides and a powerful blend of brightening agents to visibly lift and brighten your skin 
• Signature HydraFacial to gently exfoliate and nourish your skin with peptides and nutrients, leaving it refreshed and rejuvenated 

Why Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy? 

IPL is a safe and effective, non-invasive light therapy for treating skin redness, rosacea and pigmentation (especially pigmentation caused by sun damage). It works by emitting light into the skin, heating superficial blood vessels and pigmentation, and encouraging the skin’s natural cellular turnover. 

By combining IPL with Ultraceuticals Brightening Accelerator Mask and our Signature HydraFacial over four sessions, you can effectively reset and nourish your skin. 

This package is particularly beneficial after a summer in the sun, as it will help to restore your skin’s natural glow and remove signs of damage.

What’s included: 

• Two bio-remodelling treatments to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture 
• Two HydraFacials to provide a deep clean and deliver nourishing serums 

Why Bio-Remodelling Filler? 

Bio-remodelling filler kickstarts the production of elastin and re-models the skin for a plumper, tighter look. Instead of volumizing like other dermal fillers, bio-remodelling filler has a smooth, honey-like consistency that flows easily and delivers hydration exactly where you need it. 

This treatment delivers a pure form of hyaluronic acid to stabilise skin structure, attract and bind water and improve elasticity. 

Glow Power combines two visits of both treatments for a clear, glowing complexion.

1. Instant Lift

The Paris Lift uses PDO (polydioxanone) mechanical threads to reposition and support sagging skin, resulting in an instant lift. PDO threads are made from a safe, biodegradable suture material that has been used in orthopaedic and cardiovascular surgeries for over 30 years. The threads are placed just under the skin and then pulled taut, lifting the skin and giving it a more youthful appearance.

2. More Youthful Look

In addition to lifting sagging skin, the Paris Lift also enhances your facial structure and smooths fine lines and wrinkles. PDO threads have been shown to stimulate collagen production, which can help improve the overall texture and tone of your skin. The result is a more youthful, vibrant appearance without the need for surgery or cosmetic injectables.

3. Ongoing Results

PDO threads are absorbed by the body over time, but they continue to stimulate collagen production for several months after the procedure. This means that the results will continue to improve over time, with ongoing collagen production helping to keep your skin looking firm and lifted.

4. Short Recovery

While there may be some bruising and swelling after the procedure, the recovery time for a Paris Lift is minimal compared to that of a surgical face lift. With just a few days of downtime, you can get back to your normal routine much more quickly.

5. Price

At just $3499, a Paris Lift is significantly less expensive than a surgical face lift, which can cost up to $30,000. This makes it a more accessible option for many people who want to achieve a more youthful appearance without breaking the bank.

The post 5 Benefits of a Paris Lift: Achieve a Face Lift Without Going Under the Knife appeared first on Artisan Aesthetic Clinics.

How quickly your skin shows the signs of ageing, depends in large part on how well you look after it in your youth. If you were a sun lover in your teens then you’ll likely see the signs of ageing earlier than your friend who was more diligent about slip, slop, slapping. The same goes for if you are a smoker, regular drinker, or have a poor diet. For example, a diet high in sugar can lead to premature ageing, not to mention other skin issues as well, such as acne and congestion.

At Artisan, our skilled clinicians know how to prevent or reverse the 7 signs of ageing through a range of treatments that, combined with a high-quality at-home skincare regimen, will help you to look as young as you feel.

The 7 signs of ageing

Typically, our skin shows the signs of ageing in seven ways:

1. Lines & Wrinkles

Wrinkles and fine lines are often some of the first visible signs that our skin is beginning to age. Caused by our bodies producing less collagen as we age, which results in loss of elasticity and volume, they most commonly appear where we make the most movement: around the eyes, forehead and mouth. By relaxing areas of the face susceptible to wrinkles and fine lines with treatments like anti-wrinkle injections, we can actually prevent them from forming, ensuring you maintain your youthful glow.

Top Treatments: Anti-Wrinkle Injections, Fraxel®, Skin Needling, Clear + Brilliant®, PRP

2. Volume Loss

Ageing is the biggest cause of volume loss as our bodies steadily lose collagen from the age of 25. This causes our facial structure to start a downward and inward descent which results in a sunken appearance in five distinct areas: our cheeks, our eyes, around our nose and mouth, our jawline, and our pre-jowl area, often leading us to look more tired than we actually are.

Top Treatments: Tear Trough and Cheek Filler Injections, Collagen Boost, Profound 

3. Thin and Sagging Skin

Discoloured and wrinkled or sagging skin starts to appear as we hit the age of 40 due to collagen loss and sun damage from our early years (that’s why we strongly recommend wearing a sunscreen of at least SPF30+ everyday). This is particularly the case for the skin on our neck and décolletage which is prone to premature ageing as it’s three times thinner than the skin on our faces, with many clients seeking treatment for jowls and ‘turkey neck’ as they age.

Top Treatments: Thermal skin tightening, and bio stimulators such as Collagen Boost / Threads, Collagen Rebuild and PRP

4. Dry Skin and Coarse Texture

From dry and flaking skin to scarring and congestion, the texture of our skin can play a big role in how confident we look and feel. The biggest cause for poor skin texture is a build-up of dead skin cells due to lack of hydration and exfoliation, as well as sun damage (we can’t stress enough the daily use of a high-quality SPF!). This build-up gives the skin on our face, neck and décolletage a rough and bumpy texture that can make it appear uneven and affect overall smoothness.

Top Treatments: HydraFacial MD, Skin Boosters, Skin Needling

5. Enlarged Pores

While dead skin cell build-up is a big contributor, age also plays a role in the cause of enlarged pores. This is because as we age, our skin loses elasticity and starts to sag, which can make pores appear larger, particularly around the nose and cheeks.

Top Treatments: HydraFacial MD, Clear + Brilliant®

6. Uneven Tone

As we age, the tone of our skin can become uneven through pigmentation, age spots and redness. While genetics can play a role, often this is a result of our lifestyle choices when we were younger, including drinking, smoking and sun exposure, catching up with us.

Top Treatments: Laser Genesis, Laser Vein, Clear + Brilliant®, Fraxel®, IPL

7. Sun Damage

If you spent too much time tanning as a teen, as you enter your thirties, you will likely start to see signs of sun damage including sunspots, pigmentation and fine lines and wrinkles on your face, neck and décolletage, even if you are now careful to slip, slop, slap. That’s because all of that time you spent in the sun in your younger years, starts to appear on your skin when you hit the age of 25 and your skin starts losing collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.

Top Treatments: Clear + Brilliant®, Fraxel®, Skin Needling, IPL, Laser Vein, Laser Genesis
