STEP 1

Rub a pea size amount of Ultra Hydrating Milk Cleanser between your hands and apply to face, neck and decolletage. Apply with circular motions for around 30 seconds, remove with warm face cloth and pat dry with a clean towel. Repeat this step if you are wearing makeup.

STEP 2

Wet hands and apply a pea-size amount of Ultra Dual-Microfoliant to face, neck and décolletage and massage gently for 60 seconds. Concentrate on built-up areas such as nose, forehead and chin, avoiding eye area. Remove exfoliant with a warm face cloth and pat dry.

STEP 3

Apply Ultra Replenishing Mask evenly to face, neck and décolletage with a mask brush or fingertips. This fast-acting formula helps to relieve dry, distressed and dehydrated skin. Leave on for 10-30 minutes and remove with a warm face cloth.

TIP: Replenishing mask has multi-uses. It can be massaged into the skin after 10 minutes and left on or applied overnight as a Treatment.

STEP 4

To firm and plump skin and stimulate collagen production, rub a couple of drops of Vitamin C between fingertips to emulsify before applying to skin (either Ultra C10+ Firming Serum or Ultra C23+ Firming Concentrate)

STEP 5

To help restore moisture balance and hydration and reduce fine lines and wrinkles, apply a couple of drops of B2 Hydrating Serum

STEP 6

Finish off and seal everything in with a pea-sized amount of Ultra Moisturiser Cream or Ultra Rich Moisturiser Cream

TIP: For easy application and to avoid overusing products, always emulsify and warm your creams first by rubbing between fingertips before applying.

Did you know that 7 out of 10 people suffer from redness in face and blotchy skin tone as a result of photoageing?
Facial redness is most commonly caused by photoageing and occurs in two ways:

1. Over time, the skin’s dermal matrix (containing collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid) is broken down as a result of photodamage, subsequently thinning the skin and causing underlying blood vessels (capillaries) in the dermal matrix to become more visible, therefore giving an increased appearance of skin redness.

2. As a natural wound healing response to photodamage, the growth factor VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) is produced in response to UV light entering the skin and creating free radicals. This growth factor stimulates the production of new blood vessels. New and existing blood vessels become contorted and enlarged and this causes an increase in surface redness (angiogenesis).

THE SOLUTION: Ultra Red-Action Complex

This award winning formula is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of facial redness! This ground-breaking serum contains Ultraceuticals uniqueAnti-RED Complex developed to visibly reduce redness associated with photodamage and minimise skin blotchiness. Featuring powerful antioxidants, anti-irritant and soothing ingredients, this advanced serum is suited to all skin types including sensitive and rosacea-prone skins.

This powerful serum contains Ultraceuticals unique Anti-RED Complex (Kinetin, Andrographolide and Niacinamide), a truly innovative formula that has been clinically tested to reduce the visible signs of facial redness.

It contains three key ingredients:

Kinetin is found naturally in plants. It is a growth factor that prevents plant leaves from drying out and withering. Kinetin has been clinically tested to reduce the appearance of surface capillaries and improve the visible symptoms of mild to advanced facial redness and rosacea.

Andrographolideis derived from the medicinal plant Andrographispaniculata and has been used centuries in Asian medicines. Recent studies have shown that it has antioxidant and potent anti-irritant properties. In research published in various medical journals, Andrographispaniculata was demonstrated to have inhibitory activity on the level of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) in the skin.

Niacinamide is a vitamin which has demonstrated anti-irritant benefits. Studies have shown that Niacinamide can decrease the visible signs of photoageing, including decreasing skin surface hyperpigmentation, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, decreasing sallowness and redness / blotchiness. It has been shown to improve skin elasticity and support the skin’s lipid barrier function. Kinetin and Niacinamide have also been shown to work synergistically to have an anti-ageing effect of the skin, including reducing redness.

NB: Ask about combining Red Action Complex with IPL Vascular Treatments in Salon to ensure the fastest, most effective results.

So what is it and how does it work? In a nut shell, skin needling involves pricking the skin with a series of very fine needles. Whilst there is minimal penetration, each of these thousands of tiny puncture wounds induces the release of growth factors that stimulate new collagen and elastin growth in the surrounding skin. New collagen and elastin production is the goal of all skin resurfacing and rejuvenation treatments and once initiated can continue for up to 12 months to 2 years resulting in a visible improvement in skin firmness and texture and a softening and lifting of scars and wrinkles.

Skin Needling Results

What Can I Expect in a Skin needing treatment?

The treatment itself  takes less than an  hour. Most people experience redness resembling sunburn on the areas treated, which fades over the next day and can be covered with the Ultraceuticals CC Mineral Tint and/or Ultraceuticals Mineral Powder. Generally a minimum of 3 – 4 treatments are required to achieve improvements in skin firmness and texture. Scarring may take 6 or more treatments. Skin needling results accrue gradually because collagen production takes time, however most clients notice and improvement in their skin tone and texture within 6 – 8 weeks of each treatment.

This treatment has grown enormously in popularity, not only due to the great results but unlike Laser skin rejuvenation, Skin Needling does not involve the removal of any skin tissue, or heat, therefore can be performed on all skin types (white to dark skin) and is suitable for sensitive thin skinned areas such as the neck and chest. Skin needling is a low downtime and cost effective alternative to Laser treatments.
