Nordic Skin Therapies

I had this intense feeling for a while that the next big trend in the beauty industry will be natural look. 🍃
- Celebrities will strive to prove they've done nothing to their faces
- There will be apps that analyse the face and provide the stats of its "naturalness" :)
- People will always strive to reach UNATTAINABLE, because it is how our ego operates
- It's all because we still can't accept we are aging

As promised - results from the Plasma Fibroblast Eyelid and Nasolabial fold lift ❤🔥

Let's take time to appreciate the wonderful work your skin cells are doing to re-create, and repair

Wouldn't have to buy that expensive Vitamin C serum today 😁🍋🍋

Our ancestors, the early primates, lost the gene known as GULO, which is responsible for synthesizing vitamin C. This genetic change occurred 61 million years ago.

BUT WHY?
In the ancient environments where our ancestors (early primates) lived, their diet was rich in fruits and other plant materials abundant in vitamin C. Because they had consistent access to vitamin C through their diet, the evolutionary pressure to maintain the functionality of the GULO gene decreased. Over time, mutations accumulated in the GULO gene, leading to its loss of function. This genetic change was not detrimental because their dietary intake provided sufficient vitamin C to meet their needs.
For modern humans, this genetic loss means that we must obtain vitamin C through our diet or supplements. Vitamin C is crucial for various bodily functions, including:

🍋Collagen Synthesis: Essential for the formation and maintenance of skin, blood vessels, bones, and connective tissue.
🍋Antioxidant Defense: Protects cells from damage caused by free radicals. Its antioxidant properties also help combat inflammation and lower the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease.
🍋Immune Support: Enhances the immune system's ability to fend off infections.
🍋Wound Healing: Plays a role in the repair and regeneration of tissues
🍋Disease Prevention: Vitamin C boosts the immune system, helping to prevent and fight off diseases, and potentially reducing the severity and duration of infections.

Each face has it's own aging trajectory:

SQUARE FACE: People with fuller, squared faces and thicker skin typically age by developing jowls and marionette lines. The resilience of their skin delays fine lines, but as collagen and elastin decrease, noticeable sagging occurs, especially around the jawline and mouth. HIFU and RF face sculpting therapies will produce best results for them.

TRIANGLE FACE: People with more triangular face shapes often have well-defined and fuller cheeks, which can lead to the formation of crow's feet and sagging skin around the eye area as they age. The skin in this area is much thinner, and due to decreased adhesion between the epidermis and dermis, it can start separating from the deeper structural layers, causing loosening of keratin (protein) cells. Plasma Fibroblast therapy is considered one of the best treatments in this scenario.

This made me laugh so hard 😆💫 Pretty soon, the labs will be analyzing this bloke's DNA!

If you have chronically dry skin with non healing, rough patches - it could be that you are lacking Omega 3.
I am not a doctor to prescribe supplements, however, this is the one I like - Nordic Naturals Arctic D Cod Liver Oil.
The taste is ok. Derived from wild fish cought in Norway. It also has Vit A and Vit D.
Always check for DHA and EPA (types of Omega 3) amount in your fish oil.

I am not paid for this post (maybe I should he he :)

Humidity on Gold Coast is 79% and nothing dries! 😄💦
Use it for adding extra moisture to your skin. Apply your Hyaluronic Acid serum generously!

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the skin that helps retain moisture, making it an excellent hydrating agent. When you apply a hyaluronic acid serum, it forms a thin, invisible barrier on the skin's surface, attracting moisture from the air and binding it to the skin, keeping it hydrated and plump.

So, when the humidity hits 80%, it's like a bonus for your skin! The higher humidity means there's more moisture in the air for the hyaluronic acid to draw into your skin, enhancing its hydrating effect. You'll likely notice your skin feeling even more supple and dewy during these conditions.

The main reason, why you might be not getting rid of your pigmentation is....because the new pigment formation is not inhibited (stopped).
Some beauty treatments are quite aggressive in breaking down existing pigment (lasers, peels etc.), however it is more important to ensure that your lovely enzyme TYROSINASE is not going to make even more pigment due to the trauma of your pigmentation treatment (heat from lasers or peels)
Use quality topical products with Vitamin C, Licorice root extract, Arbutin, Kojic acid or Bearberry extract consistently and long-term (3 months or more) and your skin will lighten.

FOR GEEKS:
P.S. It is not only the tyrosinase enzyme that is a bad guy responsible of your pigmentation. Managing pigment transfer from the melanocytes (using Vit B3) and inhibiting Melanin Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH) are the other two effective methods for the melanin control.

The greater your Storm - the brighter your Rainbow!
I am committed to raising these vibrant arrows as high as possible🌈

I accept my aging (almost there). Are you? 🌿

Aging is a biologically programmed process, much like the natural healing of a wound after a cut. While non-invasive skin treatments can achieve healthier and softer looks, addressing the fear of aging requires introspection. The greatest contributor to this fear often lies within ourselves.
Reflecting on my own journey, I once found myself overly fixated on physical appearance. It dawned on me that amidst this fixation, other aspects of myself—my character, inner qualities, relationships, and personal growth—were being overshadowed by the looming spectre of entering the "mature" category. This realization prompted urgent self-examination, as I recognized that my values had subtly shifted under the influence of media-driven narratives without my awareness.

The discontentment with aging and the fear of losing youthfulness are closely linked to our sense of personal fulfillment and accomplishment. Though it may sound cliché, it holds undeniable truth.
To embark on a journey of self-discovery, ask yourself this question honestly: "Am I genuinely content with the person I have become? And what is one actionable step I can take today to enhance this contentment?"
By delving into these inquiries with sincerity, you may unearth profound insights and pave the way for less fear and more self-fulfilment

The regenerative power of Seabuckthorn Oil, a treasure trove of nutrients for the skin 💎. A seabuckthorn tree grew right under my balcony back in Lithuania and I was trying to get used to the extremely sour taste of its berries. It grows in the cold Nordic climate and a few table spoons of its jam would kill off any flu symptoms within days.

This plant is extremely rich in vitamins A, C, and E, and a host of antioxidants, it effectively combats oxidative stress and promotes skin repair. Its unique composition of fatty acids, including omega-7, deeply nourishes the skin, enhancing elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines 👼

How long until I see the results from my treatment?

Well, how long does it take for the bones to heal after the injury? Skin is a very complex organ and it takes time for the change to happen.
Clients don't see this, but my treatments often resemble plate spinning - taking in consideration client's skin barrier, downtime (big one), home care routine, medication, budget, pain threshold, stress levels, expectations, holiday plans (aka sun exposure), planned medical treatments etc....and we always find the best plan of action to incorporate it all. Please be a bit more patient though 😆

Have you ever wondered how does Plasma Fibroblast actually work?
I have put together a little guide explaining all the aspects of this treatment - from the mechanism of action to the aftercare instructions.

5mins in AM and 5pm in PM is all it takes to ensure your skin gets the peptides, antioxidants and collagen stimulants for:

🎯Slowing down the programmed intrinsic ageing and internal stressors (hormonal changes and cortisol)
🎯Combatting the effects of the external factors - photodamage (80% of ageing is contributed to the damage from the UV), free radicals (ROS) from the pollution, diet, smoking, chemicals (hairdressers I am looking at you 😁)
🎯Activating of DNA damage repair (DDR) pathways in the aging skin (Retinol, Retinal or Retinoic acid).

Merry Christmas from Nordic!

☀ Don't mix your sunscreen with the other products

One of the most common mistakes people make when applying sunscreen is mixing it with other products, such as moisturizer or foundation. While it may seem like a time-saver, this can actually impair the performance of your sunscreen and reduce its effectiveness. To ensure maximum protection, apply your sunscreen on its own, after the moisturiser and before the foundation (or better - mineral powder)

Should I start Electrolysis for permanent hair removal?

I've been asked numerous times about the removal for the hormonal hair. Chin, top lip, cheeks...sometimes nose. What can be done about them?

Here's what' I found out about the Electrolysis:
🎯Is it painful? No (we numb it for the extremely sensitive ones)
🎯Is it permanent? Yes
🎯Can it remove light and grey hair? Yup as it does not work on the basis of the target chromophore (dark melanin in case of the laser treatments)
🎯How many sessions? 5-10 ($50-$100 per session depending on the size of the area)

Currently, electrolysis is the only method approved by the FDA (USA) for permanent hair removal.
So, what are your on this? 😏
