Give your skin a workout at the ‘SkinGym’

Just like the rest of our bodies, our skin loses its strength and resilience if it isn’t given a workout every now and again. When it comes to anti-ageing treatments, it can be all too easy to treat the symptoms instead of the causes in a bid to get a ‘quick-fix’ to wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin.

It’s a fact of life that as we get older, our skin loses its elasticity. Collagen production slows down and free radicals attack our skin cells, resulting in a tired, drawn face that we see and dislike more every time we look in the mirror.

Invasive procedures, such as surgical face lifts, Botox and injectable dermal fillers can no doubt offer an immediate fix, which will for a few years make you feel better about yourself. However, under this surgically induced mask, the ageing process still takes place, thus treating the visible symptoms of ageing, such as crows feet, rather than getting to the root of the problem and slowing ‘operation wrinkle’ right down.

However, that’s exactly what non-surgical anti-ageing treatments, such as SkinGym, promise to do. It’s all about skin rejuvenation and retraining the skin to think it is 25 again.

You can never 100% stop ageing in its tracks, but you can restore some of the resilience that has been lost over the years in a bid to find a more youthful you.

Using a combination of IPL (intense pulsed light), microdermabrasion, ultra-sonic toning and peptide skin peels, the results are instant and after a series of treatments, you will be fresh-faced with a plumper, toned and more vibrant skin.

By opting for safer non-surgical options, you minimise risk and allow the skin the regain its youthful state naturally by stimulating the muscles and the underlying structure of the skin.

SkinGym is a three-fold treatment and costs £1250 - £1500 for six visits, and is guaranteed to work or the company will continue treatments until it does. Clients are advised to use the at-home skin products initially supplied and to also take the recommended vitamin supplements. This is to prepare the skin for the third element of the programme, which is the actual in-clinic treatment delivered by the therapist.

The benefits of non-surgical anti-wrinkle treatments can far outweigh those of surgical options, particularly since there is no ‘down-time’ or need to recover, with most clients resuming normal daily activities immediately after leaving the clinic.

If you’re worried about your wrinkles, consult a skin specialist to explore your options. Surgical solutions are sometimes the best way forward for some people. However being aware of alternative therapies will enable you to make an informed decision about your appearance and be happier with a younger, healthier-looking you.
