If you would like to hold back time or simply keep it at
bay there is a lot more that can be done other then turning to Botox injections that do nothing to nourish and correct the skin and mostly end up giving you a distorted face.
La Face Salon has been treating skin ageing problems for over 15 years and now offer two of the best anti-ageing treatments available. They use VPL (Variable Pulse Light) and botanical
face peels to address their clientele’s major concerns of deep lines, sun
damage and scarring.
Senior Therapist Nicola Morgan says that the VPL machine is the answer to correcting most skin problems.
“The light pulse directly enters the skin to fix broken capillaries, fade or remove age spots, help acne and scarring while plumping up the skin so it has less noticeable wrinkles,” says Morgan.
If you’ve heard bad reports about lasers, La Face only have their senior therapists who are highly trained doing the procedures.
“We are trained and do ongoing training and have done certified courses,” says Morgan.
Before undergoing a recommended three course treatment of the laser the client goes through a thorough consultation to make sure it is appropriate for their use.
“The treatments help even pigmentation of the skin and remove broken capillaries. It plumps the skin up and puts the skin into exercise mode as it metabolises the skin cells. It gives a fantastic result under the eyes, on frown lines and deep wrinkles as it plumps them up.”
“After treatment the skin keeps responding for months and the results are long lived,” says Morgan. “You pay a little more but the results can been seen.”

Before the laser is used, the skin is cleaned and prepped with a cool medical grade gel. Photos are taken so the results can be recorded and eye pads and goggles worn. A typical treatment for broken capillaries on nose and cheeks takes about 15 minutes and for sun damaged skin about 30 minutes. Three treatments are recommended two weeks apart and there must be no direct sunlight allowed on the face for two weeks. Sun block must be worn otherwise skin can blister and become crusty.
An alternative to the laser is the botanical skin peel. La Face uses Dr Spiller Herbal Aktiv Peel. It’s an all natural peeling treatment based of dried crushed herbs. The treatment is highly recommended for a special occasion, especially if you want to plump the skin out. It is said to refine the skin and increase the skin’s metabolism.
“It’s an amazing treatment in itself. It’s one of my personal favourites as you get fantastic results,” says Morgan. “You manually massage the herbs into the skin controlling just where you want the herbs to go. It’s great for tired skin, under the eyes, jaw line and for lines around the mouth. It gives the skin a big pick up”.
There is also a bigger version of a five-day peel offered for more major skin concerns of pitted and scarred skin, sun damage and deep lines, especially if you have been a smoker. However, there is a bigger down time of five days but the results are worth it according to Morgan.
“While this treatment does have down time the results are unbelievable” says Morgan. “People need to be aware that whichever treatment they choose, the skin has gone through change and must be looked after once they’re had the treatment. We recommend products to help them maintain their skin.”
