Cosmedix and Obagi Skin Care Systems
Introduction
We are one of the few UK stockists of these two ranges (www.cosmedix.com and www.obagi.com).
The Cosmedix range of chirally corrected products is made from natural ingredients. They are highly effective, hypo-allergenic and cruelty-free. They are not usually available in your high street.
On the other hand, Dr Obagi has produced physician-grade systems for problems such as mottled skin, melasma, hyper-pigmentation, acne, wrinkles and laxity.
For a nominal charge we can also offer a special skin scan to further clarify your skin’s condition and thus target the best treatments for your particular complaint.
Cosmedix Skin Care Systems
We are one of the few UK stockists of Cosmedix, a range of natural and chirally corrected products. Chiral correction produces highly purified molecules with and only the positive effects of each ingredient thereby dramatically reducing allergic or adverse reactions. Most popular cosmetic brands do not purify their ingredients to such a high level because of the associated costs. However, by choosing Cosmedix you no longer have to risk harming your skin by using irritating products. Instead, your skin will absorb the soothing and calming effects of nourishment as nature had intended.
The skin is the largest organ of the human body but yet it is also the most exposed, the most abused and arguably the most ignored by patients and health care professionals alike. Therefore, by improving your skin, you will not only look and feel good but also increase your resistance to potentially harmful external factors such as sunlight and infections.
The basic philosophy is that many common skin conditions like acne are due to inflammation, yet traditional treatments such as deep cleansers, benzoyl peroxide and glycolic acid have created more inflammation and irritation. Through chiral correction Cosmedix helps to improve skin care using a very high concentration of active ingredients which communicate with the skin and work with its natural ability to repair itself.
We also offer Cosmedix medical peels for more intensive therapy for your skin and to reduce the visible signs of aging and acne.
At a cost of only £25.00 we can also offer a special skin scan to further clarify your skin’s condition and thus target the best treatment for your particular issues.
Please discus your skin complaint with any of our therapists and they will be happy to advise on the specific requirements, whether it be a moisturiser for dry skin, sun blocks, skin vitamins or treatments for oily skin, enlarged pores, acne, photo-damage, melasma or hyper-pigmentation marks.
