Whether it’s the shift in temperature, or the changing of colours, there’s just something about Autumn that makes it feel like the perfect time to refresh.
At Harpenden Skin Clinic, we are preparing for a busy season, but there’s still time to get your appointments in for some post-summer rejuvenation. A few of our favourite treatments for Autumn include IPL, as well as radiofrequency for all-over skin tightening.
How It Works: Short for Intense Pulsed Light, IPL is an advanced modality that utilises light energy and directs it below the surface of the skin. By emitting various light wavelengths, which work to produce heat and, in the process, target skin imperfections, effectively breaking them down without compromising the surrounding tissues. The process additionally stimulates a healing response in the skin, encouraging cellular turnover, collagen synthesis, and the production of new healthy skin cells.
The Perks: For anyone looking to address discoloration in the skin, including hyperpigmentation, sun spots, freckles, redness from rosacea, or other deposits of excess melanin, IPL is an incredible non-invasive option that produces quick results. It can also be helpful for improving age-related concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, broken blood vessels, and stretch marks. Although you may need more than one session, depending on the severity of your skin’s condition, many patients start to notice positive changes just a few weeks after their first treatment.
How It Works: Leveraging multiple advanced modalities to create one simple, non-invasive solution, Accent Prime is a radiofrequency and ultrasound treatment that sculpts and smooths the skin. Ultrasound technology is used to heat the skin, breaking down fat deposits and encouraging the production of new collagen. Meanwhile radiofrequency works to promote lymphatic drainage and provides a synergistic approach to body contouring. This unique hybrid treatment is a must for anyone wishing to combat cosmetic concerns without the need for painful surgery or extensive recovery time.
The Perks: Accent Prime RF is very versatile, as it can be used for both the body and the face. Its primary benefits are for toning and tightening the skin, meaning it can be used to address cellulite, wrinkles, stubborn fat, and sagging skin. At our clinic, we use skin tightening to help clients achieve goals related to re-shaping and contouring the body, as well as rejuvenating ageing skin. We also love that there’s no need for anaesthesia or injections. Results can be seen after just two sessions, but we often recommend a treatment plan of 4-6 sessions in order to achieve the absolute best outcome.
