Sept/Oct Newsletter

What’s new at The Travelling Peelsman?

There’s no time like spring to talk about the new treatments and products that I’ve added to The Travelling Peelsman’s mix. As we all start coming out of hibernation, shed the winter layers, and start prepping for the party season, some of us could use a little extra help to get our skin in tip-top condition. To get you started, take a look at some of the new additions I’ve recently welcomed to The Travelling Peelsman and my Melbourne Aesthetic Health Care (MAHC) clinic. 


eDermastamp

A vast improvement in the world of skin needling, eDermastamp is a handheld device that uses extremely fine micro-needles to penetrate the skin around 140 times per second, stimulating collagen production and improving the appearance of the skin. Client discomfort is reduced by applying a topical anaesthetic before treatment, which means clients can expect to experience some numbness immediately after treatment, along with a reddened complexion.

The treatment works by creating tiny pinpricks on the surface of the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing response and causing the production of new collagen to repair the small wounds. eDermastamp is extremely effective in treating acne scars, enlarged pores, poor skin texture, and in boosting the skin’s natural production of collagen.

If you’re a regular skin needling client, I think you’ll be amazed at the reduction in discomfort. But don’t just take my word for it—now is the perfect time to try it for yourself because The Travelling Peelsman is offering $100 off all eDermastamp bookings made in September and October! Normally priced at $500 a session, book in the next two months and you’ll pay only $400 a session.

Like to plan in advance? Book your first session of an eDermastamp course during September or October and you’ll save $100 on every treatment in the course! There’s no need to pay upfront—just give me a call within the next two months to book your sessions.


Pellevé Wrinkle Reduction System

Perfect for tired, wintry complexions, Pellevé is globally renowned for its treatment of ageing skin. This skin tightening system uses radiofrequency to gently stimulate collagen production and cause existing fibres to contract, resulting in a firmer, younger looking appearance. To find out more about Pellevé and see the system in action, take a look at the Skin Tightening page on the MAHC website.

 

You can experience the benefits of Pellevé for yourself and save $150 a session with The Travelling Peelsman when you book your treatments during September and October. You’ll enjoy a fresher, smoother complexion for only $600 a session.

Want to see the full benefits of the Pellevé System? Book a course of three treatments and you’ll save $450! There’s no need to pay up front, just call me to book your first session during the next two months and take advantage of this special price.

Acne

Acne is one of the most common skin problems in my line of work. Often kicking off in the teenage years when hormones are running wild, acne is the result of increased oil production, dead skin cells, and bacterial build up, all of which work to block pores and lead to blackheads, whiteheads, pimples and cysts. But it isn’t solely a teenage problem; some studies have shown that up to 20% of people suffer from acne during their adult life too.

Painful and unsightly, the physical effects of acne are well known. Most of us have fretted over an angry red lump, inflamed pustule or a swathe of unattractive blackheads. If we’re lucky, they subside quickly, and our complexion returns to normal. But what if they don’t go away?

As well as the physical effects of acne, long-term sufferers are susceptible to the psychological impacts of this troubling skin condition. Depression, poor self-esteem, social anxiety, and even suicidal thoughts are among the psychological effects experienced by long-term acne sufferers. Even after the condition itself has been resolved, sufferers can be left with serious scarring.

Treatment

As The Travelling Peelsman, I take the treatment of acne seriously. Chemical peeling treatments can be very effective, especially when paired with a carefully formulated homecare routine, but there is no one-size-fits-all solution. I work with clients to assess their skin and design a treatment plan to suit skin type and condition, age, lifestyle, and budget.

The Travelling Peelsman site offers a comprehensive overview of chemical peeling treatments and cosmeceutical products under its ‘Treatments’ and ‘Products’ menus, and I am always happy to answer any queries by phone or email. If I feel that a client’s skin will benefit from laser or light-based therapies, I may suggest a visit to my clinic, Melbourne Aesthetic Health Care, where I can perform these more complex treatments in a safe environment.

Tips

Aside from a visit by The Travelling Peelsman, what else can you do to help your skin cope with blackheads and blemishes?

Don’t pick!

Yes, your mother was right—picking a blemish does make it worse! Aside from placing further stress on the skin, squeezing a spot can push bacteria further into the skin, increasing the chance of more breakouts.

Stay hydrated

It’s a common misconception that moisturisers aggravate acne-prone skin. On the contrary, poor hydration can actually make acne worse. Moisturiser is very important for acne-prone skin—just make sure it’s the right type.

Acne is certainly a challenging skin condition but it doesn’t need to be a life sentence. If you suffer from acne, The Travelling Peelsman can help you take control and restore your skin to health.
