The first quarter of 2025 is up, and we hope you've thrived and not just
survived it. So, how can we help flourish? And what does this actually mean? Do you feel like your skin is the healthiest it can be? The catch is to focus on skin as an organ rather than simply something purely cosmetic. Sure, we all want to look amazing, but if an organ is unwell, no dream cream will nurse it back to life. A flourishing skin needs a strategy; one that considers your needs now and for the time ahead. And this year, we're here to do more of that.
How can we achieve the skin glow you desire, not just with a quick fix (not our style) but with solutions that are about sustained success? We've had some wins in the past months and are so proud to share our branch's Brooklyn news.
Team Brooklyn hosted its first blood drive of the year. Our commitment to increasing awareness of just how critical a blood reserve service is is ongoing. With less than one percent of South Africans being active blood donors, the blood supply is currently at a five-day provision. Did you know that our levels are critically low when it comes to a three-day supply?
Every unit of blood can save at least three lives, as blood is separated into red blood cells, plasma, and platelets. Our target was 15 units of blood; however, with support from some of our Mrs SA contestants, like Sarah Louw and Nolithando Skosana, we managed to reach 17 units of blood.
Our next Blood Drive will be hosted on the 13th of June, 2025, on National Donor Day.
"Did you know neurotoxin is used for much more than lines and wrinkle smoothing? Migraines and teeth-grinding are just two of the many conditions in medicine that use neurotoxins as a safe and effective treatment. By relaxing the muscles that are responsible for clenching the jaw, or the muscles in the head and shoulders, we can provide pain relief without the need for chronic painkillers (and suffering their side effects). The same goes for expensive and frequent physio and chiropractic appointments. If this is your current reality, a few simple and safe injections every few months may be the answer to a happier and healthier state of being.” – Dr Shannon
At Skin Renewal, one of the tools we use for treating pigmentation is microneedling combined with laser genesis. Microneedling reduces pigmentation irregularities by stimulating collagen production, improving the penetration of topical products, and regulating melanocyte activity. In other words, that essential collagen you need gets all revved up, and those active ingredient-rich serums are able to sink in deeper, working harder for your skin. Remember, controlled micro-injuries in the skin's upper layers trigger the skin's natural healing response and collagen and elastin production. And, these micro-wounds better sponge in your home skincare, improving the efficacy of treatments for pigment disorders.
Now, add in Laser Genesis, which uses pulses of laser energy to break down excess pigmentation, which the body then removes. The laser has a specific wavelength that is absorbed by coloured pigments like melasma, age spots, and freckles. The result? Two treatments working in tandem for pigmentation-troubled skin.
