Skin Concerns
A guide on skin types and conditions which can help guide you in the right direction.
People are born with their skin type. Genetics and ethnicity determine the type of skin an individual has although normal, combination, oily, and sensitive and constantly change throughout a person’s lifetime. Skin conditions are generally determined by products used, lifestyle, hormonal change and age.
Skin Types: Normal, Dry, Oily, Combination & Sensitive
Skin Conditions: Ageing (wrinkles and lax skin), Pigmentation, Dehydration, Rosacea, Acne, Scarring & Skin Lesions
Areas of Concern: Forehead, Eyes, Nose & Cheeks, Jowls & Neck and The Body
Skin Types
‘Normal’ is a term widely used to refer to well-balanced skin. The scientific term for well-balanced skin is eudermic. The T-zone (forehead, chin and nose) may be a bit oily, but overall sebum and moisture is balanced and the skin is neither too oily nor too dry.
Normal skin has:
fine, or barely visible pores
good blood circulation
a velvety, soft and smooth texture
no or few imperfections and blemishes
no severe sensitivity

‘Dry’ is used to describe a skin type that produces less sebum than normal skin. As a result of the lack of sebum, dry skin lacks the lipids that it needs to retain moisture and build a protective shield against external influences. This leads to an impaired barrier function. Dry skin (Xerosis) exists in varying degrees of severity and in different forms that are not always clearly distinguishable.
Significantly more women suffer from dry skin than men and all skin gets drier as it ages. Problems related to dry skin are a common complaint and account for 40% of visits to dermatologists.

Sensitive skin is sometimes referred to as a skin type, but it's possible to have oily and sensitive skin, or dry and sensitive skin for example. Sensitive skin is skin that is easily irritated by different factors that are generally tolerated by well-balanced skin, such as skin care products or high and low temperatures.
It occurs when skin’s natural barrier function is compromised, causing water loss and allowing penetration of irritants. For some people, sensitive skin is a permanent condition, for others, sensitivity is triggered by certain internal and external factors. You may be able to determine what triggers skin sensitive and avoid certain ingredients or environmental factors.
Symptoms are exacerbated by factors that facial skin is most exposed to, from the sun to some ingredients in cosmetics and cleansers. Sensitive skin may be itchy, red or feel like it's burning. Read more in sensitive facial skin.

‘Oily’ is used to describe a skin type with heightened sebum production. An over production is known as seborrhea. Oily skin is common among adolescents and those aged under 30 years old, because it's linked to acne.
Oily skin is caused by excessive fat production by sebaceous glands. This overproduction of sebum can be triggered by:
genetics
hormonal changes and imbalances
medication
stress
comedogenic cosmetics (make-up products that cause irritation)

Combination skin has characteristics of both dry and oily skin, because the distribution of sebaceous and sweat glands is not homogeneous. In combination skin the skin types vary in the T-zone and the cheeks. The so-called T-zone can differ substantially – from a very slim zone to an extended area.
Characteristics of combination skin include:
an oily T-zone (forehead, chin and nose) with shiny skin
enlarged pores in this area, or pores that look larger than normal, perhaps with some impurities
blackheads
normal to dry cheeks

Hyperpigmentation refers to the over stimulation of melanocytes and subsequent over-production of melanin within the epidermis. Hyperpigmentation may occur anywhere on the body and can affect all Fitzpatrick Skin Types.
Common forms of hyperpigmentation include:
Ephelides (freckles): dark spots on the skin comprising of the protein melanin distinctly associated with sun exposure.
Best Treatment:
Lentigines (sun, age, or liver spots): Harmless patch of darkened skin. Caused from exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Very common, especially in people over the age of 40 years.
Best Treatments:
Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (pigmentation after trauma): More common in skin types IV - VI, inflammation due to trauma, acne or irritation
Best Treatments:
Advanced Microneedling (level 3 polynucleotide), Skin Peels (Dermalogica MelanoPro), Ng: YAG Laser
Melasma/Chloasma (hormonal pigmentation): Symmetrical patches most often on the cheeks, chin, upper lip and forehead
Best Treatments: Advanced Microneedling (level 3 polynucleotide)
Skin Peels (Dermalogica MelanoPro)
Facultative Pigment (uneven skin tone): Caused by exposure to ultraviolet rays (UVR)
Best Treatments:
Leaf & Lab Solutions:
GlowLab targets pigmentation through multiple mechanisms. Alpha-arbutin (2%) is a proven tyrosinase inhibitor that specifically blocks melanin production without causing irritation. Niacinamide (5%) works differently by inhibiting melanosome transfer from melanocytes to surrounding skin cells.

Dehydrated skin occurs when the protective uppermost layer of the skin, known as the stratum corneum, is lacking in moisture. Every day our skin loses water - it’s totally normal! When your skin loses more water than it needs, that’s when the signs of dehydration can start to show.
While dry skin and dehydrated skin can share many of the same characteristics, such as tightness, roughness, flaking, scaling, redness and sensitivity, they are quite different skin concerns. Dryness refers to a skin type (lack of oil), and dehydration refers to a skin condition (lack of water) and they need to be treated quite differently.
There are so many things that can cause dehydrated skin. Our faces get stripped of moisture by air conditioning, the weather, lack of sleep, not drinking enough water, caffeine, too-hot showers and skipping your gentle skincare routine.
All skin types can become dehydrated - yes, even oily skin - because it's caused by a lack of water within the skin.
Being all skin types and conditions can suffer with dehydrated skin, it is best to treat the primary concern which in turn most treatments will deal with the dehydration at the same time.
But if your primary concern is dehydration then the best treatments are:
Hydra Facial with Oxygen Infusion
Juliette Armand Advanced Facials (Hy Hyaluronic Therapy)
Dermalogica PRO skin treatments (LuminFusion)
Leaf & Lab Solutions:
BalanceLab provides comprehensive hydration with multi-molecular hyaluronic acid that works at all skin levels. Unlike single-weight hyaluronic acid, this complex ensures both immediate surface hydration and long-term moisture retention.
Betaine acts as a natural osmolyte, protecting cells from dehydration stress while maintaining optimal moisture balance. Organic glycerin draws moisture from the environment, while hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans provide enhanced penetration for deeper hydration.
AgeLab complements this with its dual hyaluronic acid system and organic aloe vera that creates pathways for better ingredient absorption.

Acne is a disease that primarily affects adolescents. The epithelial cells that line the hair follicle become abnormally sticky. These cells clog the follicular orifice with sebum, a substance produced by the sebaceous gland. The main areas of involvement are the face, chest and back. Acne is the generic term for skin conditions characterized by a combination of the following symptoms:
blackheads: (open comedones): small black or yellowish bumps that develop on the skin; they're not filled with dirt, but are black because the inner lining of the hair follicle produces pigmentation
whiteheads: (closed comedones): have a similar appearance to blackheads, but maybe firmer
papules: small red bumps that may feel tender or sore
pustules: similar to papules, but have a white tip in the centre, caused by a build – up of pus
nodules: large hard lumps that build up beneath the surface of the skin and can be painful
cysts: the most severe type of spot caused by acne; they're large pus – filled lumps that look similar to boils and carry the greatest risk of causing permanent scarring
Acne Vulgarisis the term used to describe generalized acne. These verity of acne type and symptoms is often graded into 4 stages:
GRADE I. Comedonal acne: Comedonal acne is non inflammatory involves blackheads and whiteheads
Best Treatments:
GRADE II. Papulopustular acne: Inflamed blemish, reddish lesions that appear on the surface of your skin due to clogged pores
Best Treatments:
GRADE III. Nodulocystic acne: Severe form of acne affecting characterised by multiple inflamed and uninflamed nodules and frequently, scars
Best Treatments:
GRADE IV. Acne conglobate; acne fulminans: ulcerative form of acne with an acute onset and systemic symptoms. Requires pre treatment via a medical professional
Leaf & Lab Solutions:
ClearLab addresses all aspects of acne formation. Salicylic acid (2%) penetrates deep into pores as a beta-hydroxy acid, dissolving the oil and dead skin cell buildup that creates blackheads and whiteheads.
Tea tree oil (3%) provides natural antibacterial action specifically effective against P. acnes bacteria, while being gentler than synthetic antimicrobials. Kaolin clay absorbs excess oil without over-drying, while activated charcoal draws out impurities and toxins.
Rose myrtle fruit extract provides additional antimicrobial support, while organic berry extracts offer antioxidants for healing support. Organic argan oil prevents the over-drying that can trigger increased oil production.
ExfoLab provides additional support with glycolic acid (5%) and lactic acid (10%) to prevent pore blockages and promote healthy cell turnover, while BalanceLab helps restore the healthy microbiome balance essential for clear skin.

Rosacea is a non-contagious, chronic inflammatory condition characterized by sporadic heat(flushing), persist enterythema and telangiectasia. True rosacea only affects facial skin, beginning around the nose (or central face), then extending in a bilateral, butterfly pattern across the cheeks. In the most severe of cases, rosacea may then spread to the forehead and chin are as also in a bilateral appearance. Rosacea does not affect body skin.
There are 3 traditional types of rosacea that maybe diagnosed on the skin:
Erythematotelangiectatic: Chronic inflammation
Recommended Treatment:

A scar is usually composed of fibrous tissue and is the body’s natural way of healing and replacing lost or damaged skin. They can form due to infections, surgery, injuries, or inflammation of tissue.
When a wound occurs, your skin goes into immediate healing mode and started trying to close it up as quickly as possible. As a result of this hasty approach, the collagen maybe laid our in a neatly-organised lattice pattern.
Too, much collagen creates a raised scar while a lack of collagen causes an indented one. As car may appear flat, lumpy sunken, or coloured.
Skin scarring covers a wides pectrum of a clinical phenotype from normal fine lines to abnormal wide spread, atrophic, hypertrophic, keloid scars and burn scar contractures.
Scarring Types
I Macular
These scars are pigmented flat marks.
Best Treatments:
II Mild
Mild atrophy that may not be obvious at social distances and maybe covered adequately by makeup or the normal shadow of shaved beard hair in men.
Best Treatment:
Holistic Facial Rejuvenation Treatments (Cosmetic Acupuncture)
III Moderate
Moderate atrophic scarring that is obvious at social distances of 50cm or greater and is not covered but is still able to be flattened by manual stretching of the skin (if atrophic).
Best Treatment:
Holistic Facial Rejuvenation Treatments (Cosmetic Acupuncture)
IV Severe
Severe atrophic scarring that is evident at social distances, is not covered easily and is not able to be flattened by manual stretching of the skin.

Areas of Concern
Lines will often appear in this area as we age, due to the skin becoming drier, less supple and simply due to normal facial expressions.
The best treatment for these lines is anti-wrinkle injections like Botox, this will relax the muscles, allowing the skin to heal the lines.
If you want to avoid injectable treatments, other treatments will soften the lines, but they will not be able to get rid of them, due to the natural movement of the muscles recreating the lines.

Levels of collagen start to dwindle as early as your teens. By the time you get to your mid-twenties, you might start seeing a few fine lines appearing in your skin, and often the first place you notice this is around your eyes.
The reason is that, the skin around your eyes moves a lot, whether from blinking, smiling, laughing or crying. Skin is approximately 40 per cent thinner here than skin elsewhere on your body and is, therefore, more likely to sag and weaken. As you begin to age, other factors and lifestyle issues come into play that affect the skin tissue around the eyes.
Best treatments for lines around the eyes:
Soften and Prevent Lines & Brighten: Eye Peels, Pulse Lift
Reduce Deeper lines: Pulse Lift, Plasma Pen, Skin Booster, Mesotherapy
Reduce fine lines: Pulse Lift, Radio-Frequency, Eye Peels
Stop lines: Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Puffy eyes often occur after a specific incident, like crying a lot or during a very stressful time. This is when the skin around the eyes looks slightly swollen, and it can be caused by stress, hormone changes, fluid retention, spending too long in front of the computer screen, crying and even too much salt in your diet. Lack of sleep or oversleeping can also cause the skin around your eyes to look bloated.
Recommended Treatments:
Holistic Facial Rejuvenation Treatments
Under-eye bags, however, are typically the result of the ageing process. As you get older the tissue and muscles around your eyes start to weaken and the normal fat that surrounds and supports this area slumps down into the lower eyelids.
Recommended Treatment:
Plasma Lift to tighten & strengthen the skin
Skin Boosters
Holistic Facial Rejuvenation Treatments
There are many different factors that could be the reason for dark circles:
Skin Colour: Dark circles can be due to the pigmentation of the skin which can be due to hereditary factors or dry skin.
Recommended Treatment: Skin peels
Thin Skin: The skin around the eyes is 40% thinner than other areas of the face, with some people this allows the circulatory system under the eye to show through giving a darker appearance.
Recommended Treatment: Advanced Microneedling Strengthens the skin and can help reduce the darkness caused by seeing the small vessels under the eye.
Other things to consider: Dark circles can also be due to a lack of sleep, dehydration or even iron deficiency.
As the skin around the eyes loses elasticity, loose folds of thin skin may appear on the upper eyelid causing it to sag.
Recommended Treatment:
Eye Peels (JA Eye Shine Treatment can treat the eye lid safely)
Our brows and lashes define the eye area, when the hairs are lighter or finer, this definition can be lost. This can also reduce as we get older, losing the thickness of the hairs and quantity.
Recommended Treatments:
Temporary Brow Definition: Brow Lamination, Brow Shaping & Tinting
Semi-Permanent Brow Definition: Semi-Permanent Brows
Lash Definition: Eye Lash Tint & Lash Lifting
Semi-Permanent Lash Definition: Semi-Permanent Make-up - Eyeliner

Stretch marks occur when fibres in the dermis break down, revealing the blood vessels beneath the skin. This happens when the skin is over-stretched; for example during rapid weight gain, pregnancy, or growth.
Red stretch marks are the most successful to treat. Once they have turn white/silver the scar tissue is older and more difficult to treat.
Treatment Recommendations:
Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, may occur all over the body or be limited to particular areas such as the armpits or hands – and it can affect day-to-day activities.
Treatment Recommendation:
The pelvic floor muscles support the pelvic floor organs and control continence.
However, natural body aging, childbirth and menopause can cause this group of muscles to decondition resulting in continence problems such as leaking urine when coughing or sneezing.
Recommend Treatment Pelvic Lift
Our Pelvic Lift treatment uses High Intensity Focused ElectroMagnetic Energy (HIFEM) to stimulate and strengthen all the pelvic floor muscles, not just the subset that can be exercised with voluntary contractions (Kegel exercises). These stronger pelvic floor muscles restore continence and the confidence to enjoy normal daily activities without fear of losing bladder control.
During each 30-minute session you sit comfortably on the chair while it generates thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions. Each session is equivalent to doing 10000 pelvic floor exercises but without the hard work!
The procedure is non-invasive, and you remain fully clothed throughout. No drugs are required and the most you will feel is a slight tingling during the treatment. With no recovery time needed you can leave immediately after each session and resume normal daily activity.
The majority of people need a course of six sessions over a period of three weeks to see optimum results, with most people seeing and feeling results after just two or three treatment sessions.
