I am a professional skincare therapist, and owner of Louise Gray Skin Care, with a background as a former registered nurse.
I am obsessed with skin health. It is a correlation between what is happening internally within the body, with what is happening externally, that fascinates me.
We age, that is inevitable, but if we continue to do what we have always done, will we still get the same results? This has led me on a personal journey as a skincare therapist, and someone who is ageing. I don’t subscribe to using fillers and injectables in an attempt to cover-up the ageing process.
I have always had an incredible range of products and technologies within the clinic as we specialise in non-invasive anti-ageing treatments, but I personally needed more.
People that know me, know that I am a constant researcher, an ingredient junkie who thrives on skin histology. So, it got me thinking…
We all regularly visit our doctor, our dentist and even our optometrist for regular check-ups to ensure optimal health. These appointments assess our current state of health, and then aid us in moving forward in the best condition. So, what about our skin?
Our skin, like our eyes, is continuously changing as we age. So, as glasses that once enabled us to enjoy the pleasures of reading might now need a new prescriptive lens to function optimally, so might the treatment of our skin.
I am truly a believer that you can never replace a therapist’s hands when it comes to treating skin. But by adding in some of the latest dermal technologies, the results that I have obtained personally are very striking!
To begin with – CIT, dermal needling, we consider the “holy grail”, these treatments are re-organising the skin’s structure. This treatment is not a quick fix, the results are long term (it is just like putting collagen into your bank!). I was looking to re-establish stronger, firmer skin, with having these treatments using a needling pen. I am very excited to see the next level of my results.
What else? LED light therapy. This is a no brainer, as it induces an increase in ATP, adenosine triphosphate, (energy) production from the mitochondria. Our skin, the largest organ of the body, requires substantial amounts of ATP to thrive, regenerate and renew itself. Lack of ATP results in muscle atrophy, loss of collagen and elastin, fine lines and wrinkles, discolouration, and uneven skin texture. Adding Frequency-Specific Mirocurrent treatments has been proven to increase ATP levels up to 500%, improves the overall wellness and healing properties of the body, improving youthful integrity, skin texture and luminosity. The results speak for themselves. And last but not least is Hydrodermabrasion, which is like microdermabrasion on steroids!
These all sound great, but what do you really need? Pop in and let us create a bespoke programme around what your skin actually needs to obtain results that you are wanting.
YES, WE ARE ALL AGEING, BUT WE CAN ALL AGE WELL.
