LEADING PLASTIC SURGEONS ADDRESS DETOX SKINCARE

London Plastic Surgery Associates Offer Non-Surgical Solutions, Dermatological Treatments

London Plastic Surgery Associates (www.lpsa.co.uk), a leading cosmetic surgery group dedicated to providing comprehensive care in the field of plastic surgery, today addressed the latest techniques in detoxifying skincare regimes, always popular in the New Year.

We offer personalised skincare analyses, the latest non-surgical procedures, post-surgery care and specialised skin treatments, such as dermatological care for scarring, pigmentation and acne, dermal fillers, lymphatic draining massages, microsclerotherapy (treatment for thread veins) and chemical peels.

According to LPSA Founding Partner Peter Butler, a member the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS);

"Prevention is better than cure when it comes to skincare, and it is essential to use the right products and treatments. It isn't always easy to judge on the many products available, which is why our skin analysis service provides a tailored approach that will work for the patient because it has been specifically designed for them. It makes sense to put skincare in the hands of the experts."

LPSA's resident facial aestheticians are available everyday at the clinic for consultations. Free Facial Skin Analysis is offered on-site, where the individual skin type and lifestyle are considered and suggestions and samples are provided to the patient, who will then have a 'cooling-off' period to consider the treatments available.

"We carry a professional range of skincare products preferred by surgeons and dermatologists, such as SkinCeuticals and Environ, and the mineral-rich Jane Iredale makeup, ideal for post-surgery cover-ups. Our skin analysis procedure allows us to assess the needs of the skin and apply solutions that will achieve optimum results. Patients benefit from professional products available through a specialist skincare outlet, prescribed with the right ingredients and in the right doses, unlike many off-the-shelf treatments which often don't fulfil the claims they make."

SkinCeuticals (www.SkinCeuticals.co.uk) uses ingredients that are elegantly crafted functional products, designed, formulated and tested for effectiveness. The company aims to improve health with skincare products that meet three fundamental skin needs: protection, prevention and correction of environmental damage. SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic offers the highest antioxidant photoprotection on the market, delivering eight times the skin's natural antioxidant protection against damage caused by environmental exposure and oxidative stress. Scientific studies demonstrate that this protection reduced the formation of sunburn cells by up to 96 per cent, and the serum also stimulates collagen production.

Environ (www.environ.co.za) offers its original skincare range - which includes non-comodogenic products containing vitamin A, a free radical scavenging system of beta-carotene, vitamins C and E and provitamin B5. Medical research and extensive trials have shown that vitamin A has a corrective effect on skin, smoothing and softening it, while at the same time protecting it from the effects of ultra-violet radiation and free radicals. The most innovative and of-the-moment range is the Ionzyme. This luxurious treatment range helps to nourish the skin with essential vitamins to delay the visible signs of ageing. It also features three powerful skin-firming peptides - matrixyl, dermaxyl and argireline. Each product is specifically made for the individual under sterile conditions to ensure the freshest delivery available.

The Jane Iredale (www.janeiredale.com) make-up range, also recommended by LPSA, offers a completely new concept in make-up. Rather than just a refinement of conventional cosmetics, it is based on minerals and an extension of skincare. Its cornerstone four-in-one base product acts as a foundation, powder, concealer and sunscreen - providing all-day coverage which doesn't crease, fade or smear. The product can cover any skin blemishes or discolouration and is perfect for post-surgery cover up as it will not irritate. It is non-comodegenic and oil-free - letting skin breathe and is kind to sensitive skin as it contains no fragrances, preservatives or chemical dyes.

"The New Year is traditionally a time when we vow to get ourselves looking better and usually have a good clear out of all things old and tired. Our skincare regime is something we should review frequently as we age. It's amazing how people's aesthetic troubles can be largely due to not understanding the needs of the skin, thereby using all the wrong products or the wrong combination, which renders them ineffective."
