Spa+Clinic Team New to the Australian aesthetic device treatment scene is Aquapure, a hydro-facial treatment that not only cleans and refreshes the skin, but nourishes it to boost the production of that most desirable ingredient of youthful skin: collagen.
It is a pleasant, non-invasive look good/feel good treatment, with clients seeing immediate changes in their skin’s texture and tone.
This is due to the six main ingredients contained in the three different solutions applied during treatment.
- Papain, an extract of papaya, promotes gentle exfoliation and skin renewal.
- Centella Asiatica, a type of pennywort; helps to soothe and calm the skin. This is particularly useful for skin that is subject to acne or breakouts.
- Peptides strengthen the cells and encourage faster cell turnover
- Avena Sativa (oat kernel extract) has anti-oxidant properties. It calms, soothes and moisturises the skin.
- Honey extract helps to hydrate the skin. It is also known for its healing properties, as well as being anti-bacterial and anti-fungal.
- Hyaluronic acid helps to boost collagen and elastin, contributing to a more “plumped up” appearance that helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
This powerful cocktail of treatment ingredients is delivered via different applicators in a relaxing, customised, six-stage process.
The FIrst three steps of the process exfoliate and deep clean the skin, remove excess sebum and oil, then hydrate and nourish the skin with the rich cocktail of ingredients.
Three additional steps are designed to send Aquapure’s powerful ingredients straight to the active layers of the skin, and to start work immediately.
Electroporation creates a pathway directly into the centre of skin cells, where the nutrients can have the greatest benefit. It does this by applying a finely tuned electrical eld to the cells, creating temporary microscopic “holes” in the cell wall, which allow nutrients to pass directly into the cells. Aquapure then applies a micro-current that stimulates the muscles deep within the dermis to promote collagen regeneration. This has a tightening and plumping effect on the skin, and can help shape the face.
The final cooling\heating step of the Aquapure hydro-facial helps to relieve hyper-sensitivity, leaving the skin looking and feeling calm and relaxed.
It stimulates blood circulation, which in turn contributes to a faster skin repair process.
Aquapure is also an ideal skin preparation for other aesthetic treatments such as IPL, laser, dermal filler and anti-wrinkle injections.
When the skin is fully exfoliated, deep-cleansed and nourished, it is at its most receptive, and optimally prepared for other treatments.
