Ozone therapy in skin care- Vitaderm Lipid Complex with Activated Oxygen

Ozone is one of the most exciting ingredients to appear on the health and skin care horizon in decades.

Selection of oils

What is zone?
In the presence of ultra-violet light, oxygen (O2) is converted to activated oxygen (O3), which is commonly known as ozone. Medical grade ozone is produced by passing pure oxygen trough ultra-violet light.

Properties of Ozone.
Ozone has incredible anti-bacterial and healing properties. There is aa dramatic increase in the use of ozone world-wide. In Europe it is used to sterilize hospital theaters and air-conditioning and in other industries it is used to sterilize food preparation areas.

Recently a technique has been developed whereby ozone may be applied topically. This process allows for Ozone to be infused into naturally derived, organically grown plant oils, at high concentrations under a controlled environment until it slowly begins to solidify.  Doing this effectively captures and preserves the ozone, increasing its lifespan. There is no need to use chemicals, preservatives, or stabilizers. The oil becomes a gel or cream, making it easy to apply to the skin for a variety of conditions with no known side effects.

Good news; Ozonated oils don’t lead to the problem of micro-biological resistance — as do antibiotics. So it is safer to use these oils than antibiotics for acne and skin infections!

Ozone oils moisturise the skin and improve the appearance of blemishes, age spots, fine lines, and wrinkles

According to research, these oils have amazing effects:

• Stimulation of growth for skin cells
• Acts as a free radical scavenger on harmful toxins
• Cellulite Reduction
• Wrinkles reduction
• Soothes and heals burns, wounds, cuts, ulcers, insect bites and stings
• Cleans and sterilizes the epidermis
• Reduces swelling and redness
• Calms the nerves and reduces the amount of pain in skin conditions
• May increase cellular function and cellular memory
• Reduces scarring
• Sore muscles (helps to remove lactic acid from pores)
• Dermatitis
• Diaper Rash

Prevent and Treat Ingrown Hairs, Razor Rash and Razor Burn in as little as 48 Hours.

Skin Doctors Ingrow Go, the convenient and results-driven solution that will free you of painful ingrown hair and razor burn and razor rash! You will get excellent results and it can be used by men and women of all ages.

Ingrown hair is a skin condition where the hair grows inward or sideways in the hair follicle instead of straight upwards.

It is usually a result of shaving and waxing, but wearing clothes that fit to tightly and rub against the hair can also cause this.  Dead skin cells that do not shed can also contribute to this problem.  The dead skin blocks the hair follicle’s natural opening and force the hair to grow in a different direction.  Anything which causes the hair to be broken off unevenly with a sharp tip can cause ingrown hairs.

Ingrown hair shows as red bumps on the surface of the skin and can be itchy and irritating. It can become infected and then will become larges, swollen and painful.  Sometimes one can actually see the hair that is causing the problem. 

Ingrown hair most commonly appears in areas where the skin is shaved or waxed but it can appear anywhere. It is not a serious condition, but can be irritating, embarrassing and painful.

Eliminate it!

Skin Doctors Ingrow Go cleans and purifies the affected area, thus reducing the redness and swelling and minimizes the possibility of infection. It deeply exfoliates the skin, removing the dead skin cells and unclogging the hair follicle so that the hair can easily grow correctly.

Acne-a skin condition, not a life sentence

What is acne?

Acne is a skin condition located in the hair follicles on the skin.  It can be seen on the face, back, chest and arms of both male and female.  The first signs usually appears during puberty, around 14-17 years of age in girls, and 16 –19 years of age in boys.  It comes in spurts and can be triggered by sunlight, hormones, menstrual cycles and pollution. Approximately 15% of teenage girls will require treatment for their acne.  Most cases clear up in the late teens and early twenties.  Approximately 5% of women over the age of 25 will still need treatment.

There are four main reasons for the development of acne:

• Over production of sebum, a natural oil that keeps the skin soft and supple, due to an increase in androgens (male hormones) at puberty.
• Abnormal build up of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, and in the hair follicles, which results in blocked pores.
• Inflammation in the blocked pores
• Bacterial infection
  

What acne is not..

• Despite the inflammation and bacterial infection that occur, acne is not an infectious ailment.
• What you eat or drink does not cause acne.

Treating acne

There are a number of means of treating acne:

• Medical treatments: antibiotics, Vitamin A derivatives, both oral and topical, benzoyl peroxide and in some specific cases, hormone therapy.
• Dermo-cosmetic treatments: most of the beauty houses offer an acne specific treatment.
• The earlier you start to treat your acne, the better change you have of getting it under control.

Treating plan using a professional salon product.

1.       Washing

This will rid the skin of excess oil, imbedded impurities and environmental dirt, without stripping the skin of all oil and causing irritation and dryness. Use a facial brush and softly move it in small circles over the effected area.

2.       Toning

This step will restore the Ph level of the skin.

                                                                                           

3.       Moisturise

Although the skin is oily, it still needs to be moisturised.  This cream helps to lessen the shine of the skin and to restore the moisture/oil balance of the skin.

4.       Specialised acne creams

Using specialised acne creams will help to reduce inflammation, redness and scarring and will control excess oil production.

5.       Sun protection

A sunscreen is essential for acne skin.  When tanning, the outer layer of the skin thickens, and although the tan makes acne seem to disappear, this only causes them to develop.

General comments

Treating acne can be a long and difficult process.  However, with time, patience and a personalised treatment programme, it can be treated and controlled.  You do not have to “live with it”!

• Please do not buy products that are not properly formulated for this skin condition: which are often irritating, drying and damaging to the skin.

• Avoid squeezing and pressing the acne, as this will increase the risk of infection and possible scarring.  Please leave this for us in the salon.

• Please stay of the sun, whenever possible.  If you have to be outside, always wear a sunscreen formulated for acne skin.
