Intensive Hydration Facial - for pre and post holiday skin

At EF MediSpa we have carefully researched and developed a facial that will prepare your skin for your holiday in the sun and repair your skin from photo-damage caused by the sun after your return. 

Your pre-holiday facial focuses on hydrating and exfoliating your skin, your post holiday facial uses different products to hydrate, exfoliate and repair your skin. Reporter Nicola Clowes recently tested this facial and said: 'After my pre-holiday treatment, my skin was glowing.  However, the Egyptian sun soon damaged it again leaving it noticeably patchy and dehydrated.  The follow-up treatment was very effective in fixing this and left me with a healthy glow that really set off my new tan.'

Vaser lipo vs Smartlipo

EF MediSpa has been offering Smartlipo for over two years.  This procedure revolutionised liposuction, because for the first time you could have an instant fat removal procedure without general anaesthetic.

At EF MediSpa you can have Smartlipo with Aspiration. which actually removes some of the fat during your Smartlipo procedure for more instant results.  Esther Fieldgrass, founder of EF MediSpa explains why she brought over Vaser Lipo from America.  "The two systems are similar, with Smartlipo a laser is used to melt the fat, whilst with Vaser, ultrasound is used to liquefy the fat so that it can be aspirated, without the trauma assocaited with tradional liposuction.  Smartlipo using a laser works wonders for removing fat in targeted areas, Vaser is successfully used for removing larger areas of fat."

Cellulite Solutions

The dreaded cellulite can be defined as the accumulation of enlarged fat cells in the hypodermis.  The accumulated fat presses the skin creating the ‘cottage cheese' effect known as cellulite.  There is no over-night cellulite solution here, but it can be treated and possibly faster than you think!

At EF MediSpa you can choose from the following cellulite solutions:

A course of SPA RF or Tripolar followed by the Body Revolution Peel

SPA RF - this dual layer treatment creates dramatic change, it tightens and smoothes your skin whilst stimulating the production of new collagen at the same time.  This popular treatment is great to have just before having smart lipo as it accelerates the results.

Tripolar - an excellent treatment to decrease cellulite and improve skin elasticity.  This super advanced non-invasive technology uses a unique configuration of RF energy, uni-polar and bi-polar technologies to reduce cellulite, improve smoothness and boost collagen.  The secret is in how Tripolar works, click here for a detailed description. 

Body Revolution Peel - which ever cellulite solution you go for, reducing cellulite is only part of the battle in achieving beautifully smooth, undamaged and glowing skin.  The Body Revolution Peel contains chirally correct formulations typically reserved for the face ands treats dull, sun damaged, dimpled, blemished and rough looking skin.

Once you've had the peel, skin will feel baby soft, exfoliated, glowing and look more even in tone and texture. It is great as an anti-ageing treatment and is the ultimate finishing touch to your cellulite solution treatment.  For optimum results you can prep your skin with a homecare kit.

Nip and Tuck - cheat the gym for that beautiful beach body

Whether you go to the gym or not, we all have stubborn pockets of fat that are impossible to shift, no matter how many sit ups or crunches you do!  Lumpy thighs, stubborn fat areas, dull looking skin, cellulite and stretch marks are all things that plague us mere mortals.  However, these days the slimming solutions just got a lot simpler!

You can get rid of stubborn fat with Smart Lipo plus Aspiration.  Forget old fashioned liposuction, who has the time and resources for that painful old-fashioned technique.  Smart Lipo plus Aspiration is a simple walk-in walk-out procedure using a specially tuned laser wand that is swept under the skin to melt localised areas of fat.  The liquefied fat disperses through the body's natural elimination process over a period of12-16 weeks and with Aspiration some of the fat is actually removed during the procedure itself.

The great thing about Smart Lipo is that it gets rid of the fat cells permanently, whereas going to the gym can only shrink your fat cells.  This however does not mean that you can have your cake and eat it.  A sensible diet is required to ensure you do not gain weight thus creating new fat cells!  Click here for more smart lipo facts.

Good eyelash tinting can knock years off your appearance

Years of wearing mascara can cause your eyelashes to break off, not to mention all the pulling and tugging that goes into applying and removing mascara.  To avoid having tired looking eyes with broken lashes, invest in a good eyelash tint.  Think of it as mascara without the hassle or the clumpy lashes.  It's especially great of your make-up tends to fall off your face during the day.

You can even take it one step further by having eyelash extensions. Click here  for more about Couture Eyelashes.

Remember, bright looking eyes can knock years off your appearance and can only add to your beauty!

The importance of having facials

Facials

Generally having hydrating facials every month is a very good way to keep dehydrated skin hydrated. If the skin is not hydrated it will show wrinkles a lot faster. Remember dry skin = ageing skin!

The type of facial that will be beneficial for your skin will depend on factors like your lifestyle, skin type and age. These facials are a general recommendation for age groups in their 20's, 30's, 40's, and 50's plus. When you come in for your appointment your therapist will assess your skin and help you decide what is the best course of action for your skin type.

In your 20's

It is all about prevention! When you are in your twenties you can enjoy having firm, plump skin with perhaps some fine lines appearing and many will struggle with acne. At this point good skin care habits are key, and are an excellent preventative measure against ageing later on.

Monthly deep cleansing facials with anti-oxidant treatments coupled with a good basic home skincare regime are very beneficial.

For acne sufferers - there are a range of preventative options - see below 'spend wisely on your acne problem' -click here

In your 30's

Age prevention skin care is most vital at this age as this is the time when fine lines will start to appear. Dermal building and hydration homecare are very important now.

Monthly or bi-weekly deep cleansing facials, hydrating masks are recommended.

In your 40's

During this time it is common for the skin to produce less oil, less elasticity and wrinkles start to become evident. The eye area begins to lose tone and pigmentation problems can surface due to sun exposure and hormonal changes.

Routine professional treatments are a must. Having peels to rejuvenate the skin and reverse the effects of ageing with anti-oxidant facials and hydrating masks in between to nourish the skin.

Another option is Refirme, it is an excellent treatment to boost elastin and collagen combating sagging skin.

50's plus

At this age wrinkles deepen, skin around the eyes lose more tone, skin on the face, chin and neck sags, pigmentation can become a lot more apparent and generally the skin becomes drier. Beginning in the 60's nasio-labial folds deepen dramatically and sagging in the neck becomes more obvious, wrinkles start to appear everywhere and dryness of the skin increases due to less and less oil production.

Age management treatments and home skincare are a must if you are to pro-actively rejuvenate the skin and combat ageing. Deeper peels and rejuvenating facials with lasers are most beneficial. See below tips on how to look 20 years younger - click here

Spend wisely on treating your acne problem

Without knowing it, most people with acneic skin tend to go out spending hundreds of pounds on skin care which they don't not know is already stripping their skin of acid mantle and skin flora which most of don't know our skin really needs. stripping back layers of your skin's protection with alcohol based or harsh products can only make the acne problem worse.

Investing in IPL, Laser, and I-clear Light treatments address the problem beneath the skin. These treatments shrink the sebaceous glands thereby producing less oil on the surface of the skin. They also work on minimising pores and calming the skin complexion, this gets rid of the red face acne sufferers are commonly known to have.

Although investing in a course of IPL, Laser or I-clear medical treatments is the ideal solution. It is also beneficial to have a one off treatment.

Short term solution - For overnight results SOS spot clinic will see your spots off for a few weeks and it is best to have this if you have one or a small amount of active acne. Great for that all important occasion or unexpected meeting!

Medium term solution - EF MediSpa's super acne facial is better for addressing all of the skin and is a great preventative measure against future break outs. Great if you've just booked a holiday which is only days away

Long term solution - A course IPL, Laser and I-clear. Taking a course of treatments has more in-depth and longer lasting results. These treatments are also used to treat the scarring and pigmentation caused by acne.

It boosts collagen, diminishes fine lines, wrinkles and scarring leaving your skin looking smoother, unblemished and even toned not to mention considerably wrinkle free. A course of Refirme is necessary, having a treatment every 15 days interspersed with mild peels or facials, these act like a catalyst aiding your skins rejuvenation.

The knock on effect of this with a frown smoothing botox treatment is a face lift without the stitches!

The final touch on your looking years younger mission would be to perfect your smile with teeth whitening or veneers. People often forget that having white perfect teeth can very quickly take years off.

Maintaining your results - Having a maintenance treatment of ReFirme once every three months, keeping your facials as normal once a month. Using good homecare skin care is a must.

Sunscreen - your greatest weapon against ageing

Using a good sunscreen is a must. No matter what age you are, it is never too soon to begin using a good SPF, especially as skin cancer is on the increase in the UK. Protecting your skin from the harmful rays of the sun is not only good for you but also your most powerful weapon against ageing.

Free radicals are the biggest contributors to ageing. UV radiation from the sun is one of the major causes of free radicals forming on the skin destroying the skins collagen. Protecting your skin from the suns UV rays is how to minimise free radical damage. Using an SPF will help achieve this. However it is not the SPF that you should check but the amount of zinc-oxide and titanium in your sunblock which is really important.

There are many sunscreens available on the market, some more effective than others. At EF MediSpa we have chosen the best sunscreens that offer broad spectrum protection - click here for your SPF.
