Do You Want to Know My Secret?

Some of my clients who have known me for over 10 years started to notice that I significantly lost weight during the past two years. What they also noticed is that my face did not droop or sag, as often happens when you lose weight and are over 50 years old. I can honestly confess that my secret is the Radio Frequency Face Lifting procedures that I had done while following my weight loss program.

There are several reasons I chose Radio Frequency (RF) over many other treatments. Due to my medical background, I know that RF has been used in medical cases very successfully. It is safe, beneficial and penetrates deeper than fractional laser or thermage. 

RF is a combination of heat and waves that apply mechanical stimulation to the skin, incorporating proven methods for improving skin that are the result of human ingenuity over past centuries.

Mechanical stimulation of the skin used to be achieved using anything abrasive, from sand to dried herbs, with the goal of beautifying, and also in order to remove shameful marks of imprisonment and punishment. 

In medieval times, women in certain regions shared a secret of applying heat to the skin that created superficial burns using an open flame, which helped remove scars and promoted skin rejuvenation.

Today, we understand that these ancient methods were effective because they stimulated the enzymatic system in the dermis, breaking down old collagen fibres so that fresh new collagen could be created, and today Radio Frequency has successfully revitalized these ancient practices in a new form.

Since radio frequency was introduced to the esthetic market, I have used different equipment, but my personal experience is that Venus Freeze gives the best results in the shortest time. Plus, it is much more reasonably priced, because the technology itself is not expensive. So great results can be achieved at a moderate cost.

Green Herbal Peel

What is the GREEN PEEL® Process? How Does it Work?

The Green Peel® process is scientifically developed skin regeneration with only pure natural plant ingredients which have been recognized and proven world-wide as a highly safe and successful method of non-medical procedure. The preparation is a compound of natural herbs without any chemical additives. It increases the bloom circulation of the skin and causes the upper epidermal layers to peel off.

Green Peel® – Deep Peeling Treatment?

Green Peel– Resurfacing the natural way-consists of a blend of natural herbs. In contrast to other

exfoliating products it does not contain any chemical or synthetic peeling agents. It is perfectly safe and has no side-effects.

If the herbal preparation should inadvertently come into contact with the eyes it will not cause them to sting or water. It does not keep you away from your activities, as some other peelings do.

The success of the Green Peel® Treatment can be attributed to the esthetican’s ability to control the intensity of the treatment and the all natural ingredients.

How can the skin peel when no chemical substances are used?

Our specific compound of Green Peel® is massaged into the skin at your skin care salon.

Small herb particles lightly polish the surface layers of the skin (epidermal buffing). Other active ingredients in the herbal preparation will be absorbed within 48 hours.

They will release valuable, naturally active substances such as vitamins, plant hormones, enzymes and other beneficial ingredients.

How does the skin look after the Green Peel® – Deep Peeling Treatment?

After the treatment the skin is red and burning sensation similar to a mild sunburn will be experience.

Three to four days later the old skin comes off. Until then you can work normally and should not need to take time off.

On the 5th day a follow-up treatment takes place. The beauty therapist will, if necessary, massage away any old skin and use a rich active preparation on the new skin which is now very absorbent.

There is no redness in the resurfaced skin, the complexion looks considerably improved, fresh, clear and radiant.

The truth about serums

As an esthetician with more than 30 years experience I strongly recommend serums to my clients to address challenging skin conditions. I use serums on my skin and see great benefits. My absolute favourite is Clayton Shagal Collagen and I never skip a day using it. I believe that is one of the reasons I get a lot of compliments on my skin's texture and healthy glow.

The recent article in Chatelaine magazine, February issue supports my view and explains the benefits of the serums.

Are you ready for your Red Carpet?

Over the years, we've been privileged to meet various Hollywood celebrities and a few movie stars. However, I have always felt that our regular, loyal clients get the best care thanks to the consistent use of the right treatments in our clinic, and because our clients follow the right home care advice that reflects their current skin care needs.

So my advice this month is to follow a G.M. Collin facial with this easy home care booster for 21 days:

Days 1-7: apply Yon-Ka Mask #1 overnight, on top of your favourite serum and night cream. The mask is transparent and, therefore, invisible, and has been clinically proven to increase hydration depth by 96% in just 8 hours.

Days 7-21: apply G.M. Collin's Phytostem cell+mask and leave on overnight. The clinical results after 14 days are very impressive.

After 21 days, embrace Spring with skin that looks years younger, achieved in this natural, simple way!

Remember: a healthy skin starts with a healthy body. So I highly recommend reading Julie Daniluk's latest book “Meals That Heal Inflammation”.

I hope to see you soon at ICI PARIS
