What makes intracel so great is that each “stamp” delivers 49 controlled depth micro traumas to the skin whilst using very fine insulated needles whilst simultaneously delivering fractional radiofrequency heat to the skin, causing the tissues to make new collagen. It greatly improves skin texture for crepey fine lines&...𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀! ⁣ ⁣ ✅We also utilise 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗼𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 to deliver epidermal heat, amazing for speedily tightening up pores on the nose& cheeks & this has to be one of the most effective treatments we offer for those that have lax 𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀!⁣ ⁣ ✅𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀⁣ ⁣ Now pores are in the upper layer of the skin called the epidermis & are usually filled with sebum & oil. Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid that “melts” away oils & decongests pores, making it an exceptionally great ingredient for use in those with enlarged, congested or oil filled pores&.. acne.⁣ ⁣ ➡️The Blue peel radiance is the most common skin peel performed at the clinic and is a 20% salicylic acid. ⁣ ⁣ You can have 3-6 peels about 2-4 weeks apart to really clarify the skin and improve texture and tone, and.. pores!⁣ ⁣ ✅𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹. This is a 6 step medical grade facial aimed at deep cleansing the skin. It also involves using a combination of glycolic& salicylic acid in different concentrations to manage & improve skin concerns with targeted solutions for acne, rosacea, dehydration, hyperpigmentation & enlarged pores!⁣ ⁣ ➡️Any pore related questions drop them below😇⁣ ⁣ 𝙊𝙪𝙧 𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙣 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝘼𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙡 𝟭𝟮𝙩𝙝 & 𝙬𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙬🌞$

⁣
So I hear this all the time. ⁣
⁣
Women hate their pores.⁣
⁣
So here’s the thing about pores:⁣
⁣
𝙒𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 & 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙡!⁣
⁣
But pores can start to look enlarged & get “clogged” for a number of reasons, including:⁣
⁣
1️⃣𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴. As we age, we lose elasticity around the pore wall, the pore wall becomes loose, and “flop” open.⁣
⁣
2️⃣𝗦𝘂𝗻 𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲. Sun damage destroys collagen and results in premature ageing. Again, loss of elasticity results in dilation of the pore.⁣
⁣
3️⃣𝗢𝗶𝗹. Excess oil can fill & cause pore dilation.⁣
⁣
4️⃣I𝗻𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘂𝗽. Comedogenic make up & oil based make ups can clog up pores, making them appear larger & contributing to break outs.⁣
⁣
𝙎𝙤 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙞𝙩 𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚?⁣
⁣
Here are some ingredients that help to refine pores & this is part one of two pore minimising posts with tips! ⁣
⁣
➡️𝙉𝙞𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙙𝙚! One of our faves & I use this daily. It’s anti inflammatory, & helps with acne & hydration. ⁣
⁣
➡️𝙍𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙤𝙞𝙙𝙨. There’s a post way below about retinoids so if you would like to understand a little more on types. Briefly, retinyl esters are the weakest, retinol is a middle of the road & tretinoin is the strongest & quickest acting but only available on prescription. Essentially these vitamin A molecules stimulate cell turnover & repair & improve collagen production.⁣
⁣
➡️ 𝗘𝘅𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀! AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) like glycolic & lactic acid remove dead skin & improve texture. ⁣
⁣
BHAs called beta hydroxy acids like salicylic acid are lipid soluble & best for pores. They breakdown oils on the skin & in pores & help make them appear more refined.⁣
⁣
These won’t get rid of pores completely, but these will improve the skin tone & texture & refine the appearance.⁣
⁣
Next top tip post will be aimed at in clinic treatments that are really quite magical for texture & pore refinement. ⁣

⁣
If it’s because of complications, then yes complications can happen, but they are RARE, but real.⁣
⁣
𝗦𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻?😱⁣
⁣
Well the usual, transient, not so scary, mild complications can be anything from:⁣
⁣
👉🏼bruising ⁣
👉🏼swelling⁣
👉🏼lumps and bumps⁣
⁣
As annoying as they are, they are rare, usually mild & short lived & transient & go away on their own. Don’t live in fear over these. They can be hidden & are self limiting if at all appear. In fact most people these days don’t bruise at all!🤗⁣
⁣
𝙉𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙛𝙛 🥺⁣
⁣
👉🏼vascular occlusion⁣
👉🏼necrosis⁣
👉🏼infection⁣
👉🏼vision loss⁣
⁣
Ok. Sounds awful. But again, even rarer.⁣
⁣
💉A vascular occlusion is if filler goes into a blood vessel&blocks the blood supply to the skin or important structures.⁣
⁣
Diagnosed early, this can be reversed&thankfully most of these can be avoided using safe injection techniques & injecting in the right area, at the right layer with a well trained medical practitioner. Doesn’t mean there’s no chance it will happen- but it’s certainly less likely to than seeing your eyebrow technician at the local salon.⁣
⁣
𝙉𝙤𝙬 𝙡𝙚𝙩’𝙨 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙠 𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙪𝙖𝙡 𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙨😵: there are approx 150 cases reported globally to date.⁣
⁣
🙋🏻‍♀️NOTE: put this in perspective. Statistically you are more likely to be struck by lightening. No one boarding a plane gets reminded that the plane may crash- but we have to legally tell you this. ⁣
⁣
✅What you do want to do is make sure your pilot can navigate a storm & trained to land safely in a plane crash.⁣
⁣
🤗Complications happen, but are 𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗲. The single most important thing you 𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗗𝗢 is find a 𝗠𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬 𝗤𝗨𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗜𝗘𝗗 practitioner that can prescribe the right medication, quickly, in the unlikely event of a complication.⁣
⁣
Ask these questions:⁣
⁣
❓Are you GMC, GDC, NMC OR GPHC qualified?⁣
❓Are you legally allowed to prescribe medication?⁣
❓Are you insured?⁣
❓What is your training?⁣
⁣
Find someone you trust that is dedicated to continuous education. Knowledge is power 💪🏻
