Vitamin C is one of the essentials for a healthy diet and skincare. It promotes the growth of collagens, which act as supporting structures to allow for more defined and wrinkle free skin.

Ermanno Scervino is really the star when it comes to the fashion world! His Spring collection for 2018 has brought back the glamorous femininity back on the stage in big style!

With the best standards of execution, their Spring collection kicked up a notch their hyper-feminine style. They were able to combine a modern attitude whilst keeping the look soigné, through the use of the theme of seduction, brought in unrelenting sensual lingerie!

Daring dresses with bias-cuts, draped with white satin or delicate florals were a prominence of this year’s style, coupled with their laced cascades on the décolletages!

Apart from the brilliantly executed femme-enfant look, they were able to carry on the look for more assertive occasions. Combining black lace and sharply cut tuxedos, they have played with the masculine-feminine style to cut across with a more provocative and erotic mood!

So what are you waiting for? Show your beautiful skin and femininity off with Ermanno Scervino’s Spring Collection!

With the summer breeze at our doorsteps, the most important thing to look after is our hair!

This is why this month, we aim to take care of your beautiful hair by showing you the latest anti-ageing treatments on the market! From hair beautification with the Mesotherapy technique to PRP sessions that can prevent and resolve Alopecia, the sky is the limit for your hair!

We will also show you the latest summer hair trends, by keeping you up to date with our flawless celebrities, as well as give your hair a vitamin kick with all the nutritional facts that aid in hair health!

So what are you waiting for? Stay tuned for this month’s edition and get ready to love your hair, because love is in the hair!

Do you feel like your hair has become dull and shineless? Do you spend countless hours searching for the miracle product that will restore your hair’s lost beauty?

Then try mesotherapy for hair beautification! The benefits of Mesotherapy for hair include the restoration of your hair’s health and shine, and can even aid with hair loss problems, such as Alopecia.

How does Mesotherapy work? Mesotherapy is a non-surgical technique that consists of microinjections in your target tissues, to stimulate the mesoderm. This relieves a wide variety of symptoms and conditions of the hair.

Mesotherapy brings around the hair follicle a broad range of vitamins, minerals, nucleic acids and co-enzymes so that the hair follicle can grow and survive through correct blood circulation and the excess of DHT (Dyhydrotestosterone) is neutralised.
This treatment also stimulates natural hair growth, with chances of good results for patients being higher than 90%. As hair loss is provoked by hormone imbalances, lack of nutrients and bad blood circulation, mesotherapy is able to restore the essential nutrients that the hair follicles need.

At theLondonFacialCare, I use the U225 Mesogun. That allows the rapid replacement of plasma into the scalp, making it a painless procedure with very minimal discomfort. How long does mesotherapy take to work? It depends with every patient but results can be noticed after the second session. Patients usually resume their daily activities right after injection, making it a simple routine they can adopt in their lives.

Alopecia is a hair loss condition, and is a terminology that refers to different forms of hair loss, both scarring and non-scarring ones.

Alopecia is usually caused by differing factors. These range from physical and emotional stress, imbalance of nutrients and vitamin deficiencies as well as hormone imbalances. It can also be due to hereditary factors, when expressed in many male pattern baldness.

However, here at TheLondonFacialCare, we are able to treat non-scaring alopecia as well as prevent it. Often referred to as Alopecia Areata, this condition is reversible with the right aesthetic treatments.

I am able to treat localised areas of hair loss (patches) that still have the hair follicle bulb intact, by using Plasma Therapy (PRP). This treatment has shown that up to 70% of patients do experience extra hair growth from active follicles.

But what is so special about the PRP technique? Well, growth factor molecules associated with platelets include the promotion of growth, collagen differentiation and even specialised formation of the blood vessel.

Side effects are also very minimal. With minimum discomfort during the procedure, our patients experience a noticeable reduction in hair loss. Fine miniaturised hair starts to thicken and this is usually noticeable by three months since the first application. So patients find their hair easier to manage, thicker and in better condition. Patients are highly satisfied with the results and continue to have maintenance treatments every six months.

So why not consider PRP with us for a hair regrowth treatment? It is a safe and effective treatment for hair thinning and we are sure you won’t be disappointed!

Does PRP work for hair loss? Hair loss therapy and hair loss treatments are one of the most sought for treatments on the market, often misleading patients who really want to fix hair loss problems.

Patients tend to be disillusioned with hair growth treatments, as they have usually attempted some which haven’t worked or think that hereditary conditions determine the outcome of any possible treatment.

However, PRP treatment has proved to be effective on natural hair growth at surprising levels. PRP is used as hair loss prevention as well as hair loss treatment. But is it enough to solve the problem on its own?

Our body needs the right amount of foods with antioxidants to combat what is known as oxidative stress, which highly degrades the production of elastin and collagen in our body and especially our hair!

Oxidative stress is one of the key impacts in our aging process, affecting the pigmentation and production of our hair, as well as the ageing process of the hair follicle.

Therefore, my first advice on what to eat to maintain healthy hair would be to focus on a higher intake of green vegetables and fruits such as berries, especially green leaf diets composed of spinach and kale! By adopting a healthy lifestyle, not only will you look younger, but you can avoid Alopecia diseases and maintain beautiful hair for longer!

Secondly, our body needs healthy and stable levels of fat to maintain our cell structure and function. Fat makes our hair more elastic and produces the essential oils needed for your scalp. Eating good fats such as avocados and sweet potatoes, rather that refined carbohydrates that are found in processed foods is recommended.

And finally, a surprise in for the seafood lovers! Fatty fish such as salmon, shrimps and oysters are game changers for your hair health! As they contain omega-3 fatty acids, they are the perfect excuse to spoil your hair with nutrients!

By improving the way you eat, you are able to reduce the chances alopecia hair loss and neutralise oxidative stress. So by improving your inner health, your hair will look more radiant and refreshed, just in time for the summer!

With summer at our doorsteps, it is time to showcase our beautiful hair under the sun! So let’s get inspired by beautiful celebrities and the latest hair trend of 2018, which is the bob hairstyle trend!

If you do end up going for this audacious and stunning short look, make sure you don’t go half way and do it like Emma Stone! She looks amazing in her shapely bob. The shapely fringe and hoppy ends makes this a killer look!

Otherwise, if you’re feeling a little more retro, you can also opt for Katy Perry’s 50’s bob style! She completely pulls it off, making this a flirty fun look!

For a more minimalist look, Emma Roberts has the bob hairstyle on lock! The angular cut of the crop along with the weeping fringe gives the bob a more mature and professional look.

And how about an extra level of chic added to the equation? Alicia Vikander completely rocks the bob hairstyle by parting it on the centre, with subtle wavy curls effortlessly tumbling.

So don’t be scared of the short look! The bob hairstyle hasn’t trended this year for no reason! Dare to be different this summer and create some different but easy summer hairstyles!

It is nice to take care of our skin, getting the last tips for a perfect make up but the most attractive person, sometime are not the most beautiful one !

From my parents I hide

My grey hair”

Étale dans mon lit

Le mystère et la beauté de l’Inde”

Get ready for the summer!

What is Profhilo. Is it the right treatment for you?

Profhilo is one of the newest anti-ageing techniques developed in Italy in 2015. it has really boomed the aesthetic industry! It is a hyaluronic acid (HA) gel.it treats skin laxity through skin bio-remodelling.

A great alternative to dermal fillers. It combats tired looking skin and the loss of facial volume by stimulating four different types of collagen and elastin. With a higher degree of spreadability, it doesn’t produce lumps. Profhilo is capable of releasing the hyaluronic acid at a slower pace.

Profhilo or Dermal fillers ?

As we age, our skin is confronted to a lessened production of collagen and elastin. Our skin become thinner and less elastic.

Until recently, dermal fillers have been the dominant anti-ageing and non-surgical product on the market to deal with those issues. Now, new options in the industry, such as Profhilo, can easily create confusion at what is the right treatment for our desired results!

So, Profhilo or Dermal fillers ? Both dermal fillers and Profhilo are made of hyaluronic acid (HA). Dermal fillers are usually bio- degradable liquid gels that contain anaesthetics to ensure a less painful procedure. Profhilo is made of a pure HA technology and is not targeted at volumising the face like dermal fillers.

Profhilo acts as a skin booster. Profhilo provides hydration, production of collagen and elastin by bio- remodelling the skin.

Unlike dermal fillers, Profhilo doesn’t need anaesthetics. The application of this product consists of only 5 injection sites to be carried. it makes its application easier and less painful.

Profhilo is easily spreadable. it adapts easily to the structure of your face without producing lumps. Profhilo can equally be used as a preventive measure to avoid wrinkles and lines, as well as a solution to skin laxity problems on older patients.

However, dermal fillers still remain one of the best treatments at targeting specific areas and concerns of the patient. These include areas like nasolabial folds, the tear trough area and the chin area.

Dermal fillers are also one of the best options to target concerns of volume loss in the cheeks and mid-face area, whilst Profhilo is a great option to maintain a balanced look, with unsurpassable skin health.

All cases are different. A full assessment of the patient is required. In many cases, the combination of different anti-ageing treatments will provide the best result possible, remodelling the face without inflated the face by using too much fillers. Profhilo is the perfect answer to be combined with fillers !

Looking for some anti-ageing tips ?

As we get older, we tend to cross paths with ageing signs that are more simple to prevent and solve than we think!

The little things matter, when it comes to keeping a healthy and radiant skin, but we don’t know many of what they entail!

This is why i want to let you in on the secret tips to skin anti-agers!

One of the worst causes of an ageing skin is sun exposure. UV exposure damages your levels of elastin and collagen at unprecedented levels, causing your skin to droop and to form wrinkles. The best advice out there is to use your sunblock every day, with an SPF protection of at least 30. This can be used in combination with makeup bases and moisturisers that also include UV protection. Lastly, it is best to avoid sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., which is when Mr. Sun works at its full potential!

Another great anti-ageing tip includes the great advantages of using a topical cream that contains retinoid and AHA (alpha hydroxyl) as part of your skin care regimen. Retinoid, combined with an anti-inflammatory agent and an anti-oxidant will smoothen your skin for a healthier appearance.

I highly recommend the use of the ZO Skin Health products, with results showing within 2 months. However, make sure to do your homework and gradually introduce them to your skin regimen as there is a time of adaptation, and each case is different. If you pregnant or breastfeeding, you should avoid retinoid.

Lastly but not least, time is the essential key in finding the right skin regimen for you. Money is not necessarily the key to achieving the perfect skin care treatment!

Including a routine for both the day and evening is essential to prevent ageing of the skin. Essentially, sunscreen during the day is a must! In the evenings, it is important to remove all your makeup and use a cleanser before the application of retinoid and then a moisturiser. No exceptions should be made after long night outs, as that could lead to outbreaks and deterioration of your skin’s regenerative process. Also, it is a good idea to try peels and exfoliation once a month. It works for most and by being a deeper process, it stimulates collagen growth and skin regeneration, Obagi Peel radiance is my recommendation .

Hope you’ve enjoyed my anti-ageing tips ! And why not book a consultation to complement your skin care regimen with a treatment? My assistants will be more than happy to book you an appointment with me!
