Regulation of Oiliness – Acne

Ideal for those who have blackheads (open comedones) and enlarged pores.

Free your skin from dead cells and reveal your skin bright, clean, and renewed, painlessly and safely.

What is diamond dermabrasion?

Pristine is the most advanced diamond dermabrasion system for use on the face or body.

It is award-winning and FDA-approved. 

It exfoliates, removes sebum from blackheads, while simultaneously stimulating collagen and elastin production, and improving surface blood circulation.

It helps in:

• Improving uneven skin tone & texture
• Reducing fine lines and wrinkles

Your skin will appear clean, bright, fresh, and renewed from the very first session.

It uses genuine diamond-cut LASER heads and controlled suction of the skin.

The combination of mechanical exfoliation with diamond and suction ensures uniform application to all areas where the treatment is applied.

Areas of the body where dermabrasion with Pristine is used.

Dermabrasion with Pristine utilizes diamond heads:

• In different sizes to cover larger or smaller areas on the face and body (back, chest, arms, etc.), as well as hard-to-reach areas.
• With varying roughness to address skin in need of intense exfoliation or more delicate and sensitive skin.

Thus, due to this variety of heads, Dermabrasion with Pristine covers a wide range of aesthetic applications.

What sensation does diamond dermabrasion create?

The treatment is non-invasive and completely painless. What you feel is a mild and pleasant suction of the skin.

Also, there is no downtime required, and you can immediately resume your daily activities.

How long does a session last?

The duration of a session depends on the area (face or body) as well as the condition of the skin. The average treatment time for the face ranges from 10 to 15 minutes.

For areas of the face or body with rougher skin, more time per session may be required.

When will I see results?

The results are immediately visible from the very first session, at the end of which the texture and appearance of the skin are noticeably improved, free from black marks.

With successive sessions, further gradual improvement is expected.

Are there any side effects with diamond dermabrasion?

Diamond dermabrasion with the Pristine device makes it very safe for the skin as it is award-winning and FDA-approved for safe use. However, there are some conditions where it is not applied, such as:

• Wounds
• Inflammation of the epidermis
• Active acne
• Cysts
• Herpes
• Over moles
• Medication with isotretinoin (allowed after 6 months)

At the Nefer Aesthetics & Nutrition Center, Diamond Dermabrasion is performed using the Pristine™ system by Viora.

It’s not just any phototherapy, but the award-winning Dermalux® Phototherapy, which utilizes clinically proven wavelengths to address acne, skin irritation, and aging.

It’s a globally acclaimed LED phototherapy system, consistently voted since 2013 at the British Aesthetic Awards as the Treatment of the Year.

What is LED Phototherapy (Light Emitting Diode)?
It’s the application of low-power light energy, through spectrally pure wavelengths, for the toning or regulation of biological functions with proven therapeutic results.

“Low power” energy refers to the generated intensity of energy which is much lower, compared to the photothermal mechanism of LASER or IPL.

It utilizes LED technology, at 3 different wavelengths. Each with its own benefits. These specific clinically proven wavelengths emerge from studies.

Results confirmed by independent clinical studies:

200% increase in collagen synthesis & 50-70% increase in fibroblasts, 3 days after the session with Dermalux®

• Increase in cellular renewal up to 200%
• Improvement in skin texture and smoothing up to 79%
• Increase in elasticity up to 36%
• Remarkable reduction in redness and irritation

What are Liposomal Peels with acids?
These are peels with acids, providing dual action for skin renewal and hydration, encapsulated in liposomes.
This has two main advantages. Not only does it protect the acid within the product itself, but also, simultaneously, upon application to the skin, it gradually acts in-depth without externally irritating the client’s skin.

What are the benefits of Liposomal Peels:

• Effective for all skin types and tones, even for darker skin.
• Safe for use in all seasons, including summer.
• Immediate skin restoration without irritation or intense peeling.
• Biomimetic action on the skin. The lipid composition of the liposome is similar to that of the epidermis (phospholipids, lecithins, and cholesterols), allowing it to renew the skin and stimulate rapid regeneration, alongside the action of superficial exfoliation.
• Promotes repair of the epidermal barrier function.
• Maintains optimal levels of skin hydration.

We select 2 liposomal monoacids from the 4 liposomal monoacids in each session:

1. Liposomal Glycolic Acid.
Ideal for reducing signs of aging.

• Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and age spots, providing significant anti-aging action.

2. Liposomal Mandelic Acid.
Ideal for reducing the intensity of dark spots and uneven pigmentation.

• Provides keratolytic action, particularly beneficial for acne-prone skin.
• Improves the appearance of skin with acne and intense post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (marks after acne).

3. Liposomal Lactic Acid.
Ideal for improving skin texture, even for sensitive skin.

• AHA with large molecular weight and mild action.
• Ideal for the most sensitive skin.
• Improves texture, moisturizes, and provides a soothing sensation to the skin.
• Capable of reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, offering powerful action against photoaging.

4. Liposomal Salicylic Acid.
Ideal for improving the appearance of oily skin with acne-prone tendencies.
BHA with exceptional keratolytic ability & action directly on the sebaceous gland.

• Particularly beneficial for oily, acne-prone skin.
• Anti-inflammatory and bactericidal properties.

Skincare Routine Stages

• Cleansing the skin
• Application of a product that removes skin oiliness
• Application of two Liposomal Acid Peels. The aesthetician will choose the most suitable combination for your skin.
• Facial Mask

Optionally, instead of a facial mask (with an additional charge):

• Dermalux® Phototherapy. It uses clinically proven wavelengths to promote healing and reduce irritation and redness from the use of acids that preceded it. Depending on the wavelength chosen by the aesthetician, phototherapy also offers powerful anti-bacterial and anti-aging effects. It accelerates cell regeneration and healing.

• Regenerative Cream
• Sunscreen

The liposomal Peeling used at the Nefer Aesthetics & Dietetics Center is the Duosomals by Toskani.

Information to know after Liposomal Peeling with acids:

• Mild redness and tightness may appear after the session.
• Mild flaking can occur the next day after the peel and may last for 1-4 days.
• You can immediately return to your usual activities. The skin does not require recovery time (downtime).

For a comprehensive skincare regimen, it starts with appropriate soothing products at home at least 10 days before and continues during the treatments at the Nefer Aesthetics & Dietetics Center.

After the sessions, the results are maintained at home with the appropriate products recommended by the Nefer aesthetician.
Although you should always wear sunscreen on your face, neck, and décolletage, especially for Peel sessions, sunscreen is a must.

Eliminate acne and its signs with the Peeling with acids for acne – oily skin. Nefer Beauty Salon & Diet Centre recommends an active treatment to treat acne-prone, oily skin and acne scars.

It works effectively on the key factors responsible for the development of acne:

• Smegma hyper-secretion
• Hyper-hornification, i.e. the skin does not renew its surface layer successfully and quickly.
• Propionic bacterium of acne
• Treatment suitable for the following skin conditions:
• Oiliness
• Blocked sebaceous glands
• Dilated pores
• Acne

Treatment stages

• Use of a special facial cleanser, based on exfoliating fruit acids, soap-free and skin-irritating sulphates.
• Application of a serum with mild acids, suitable for regulating oily & acne-prone skin.

• Salicylic acid has a very good ability to penetrate the sebaceous gland to regulate oiliness from the “root” of the problem.

If there is an allergy to salicylic acid, then we apply glycolic acid.

Salicylic and Glycolic acid can also be combined in the same session, if the beauty therapist decides to do so.

• Application of a booster – serum with Retinol
• Μask to soothe the skin from acids. With moisturising, soothing and regenerating action.
• Regenerating – Moisturising face cream & sun protection

Information you need to know after a Peel session

• Mild redness and skin irritation may occur after the session.
• Mild exfoliation can occur the day following the Peel and may last for 1 – 4 days.
• You can resume your normal activities immediately. The skin does not need downtime.

For the treatment to be comprehensive, it must begin with the appropriate soothing products at home at least 10 days in advance and  it continues during the sessions at Nefer Beauty Salon & Diet Centre.

After the sessions, the results are maintained at home with the appropriate products recommended by the Nefer Beautician.
Although you should always wear sunscreen on your face, neck and chest, especially for Peel sessions, you must wear sunscreen. In particular, sun exposure should be avoided 10 days before the treatment and for 1 month after the last session.

Deep moisturising facial, eye and neck treatment for oily skin.

This is a special hydrating method with 2 types of currents (galvanic & HF) and with “charged” products for better penetration.

With Hydradermie Equillibre hydration treatment, Nefer’s beautician selects specialized moisturising gels for oily skin. Thus, it can achieve deep hydration in oily skin without blocking pores.

Treatment stages

• Make-up removal
• Exfoliation with fruit acids
• Toning
• Hydrating phase There are used hydrating gels, suitable for oily skin, suitable for face, eyes and neck, that are ionised for better absorption by the skin.
• Oxygenation There are used an oxygenation product and HF electricity for the increase of blood circulation with simultaneous antibacterial action.
• Relaxing massage
• Face and neck masks for skin nourishment and hydration
• Face cream

Detoxification, rejuvenation, radiance and enhancing the function of slow skin cells with the strength of negative oxygen ions. The patented Dermionology treatment is based on pooled negative ions.

Science has already identified the advantages of negative ions since 1957. When the American biologist A.P. Krueger described them as “vitamins of the air”. He showed that negative oxygen ions have vital properties for the body and that they positively influence breathing, cell membrane metabolism and the psychological state of those who participate in the session.

What does it do?

⦁ Increase of cell metabolism
⦁ Increased production of collagen & elastin resulting in skin tightening
⦁ Enhances microcirculation, resulting in radiance and removal of toxins
⦁ Removal of fluid retention – reduction of black circles and fluid retention
⦁ Reduces irritation and rashes
⦁ Energy balance
⦁ Elimination of free radicals

Process

⦁ Removal of make-up
⦁ facial Peeling
⦁ Application of the special transparent helmet on the face for 30΄and turning on the device. The helmet is connected to the main device via a tube.
During the session, negative ions are delivered onto the facial skin. At the same time, through breathing, they are delivered to the whole body and especially to the brain.
Essentially, the device sucks the air out of the room and filters it out of dust and viruses. It then considerably enhances the negative ions of the air and sends them to the helmet.
⦁ Optional (extra cost): Application of an extra facial treatment to regulate oiliness.
⦁ Application of the appropriate cream for each skin.

Put an end to acne with Aurora’s innovative ELOS technology, which combines pulsed light and Radio-frequencies. At Nefer Beauty Salon & Diet Centre, you will find modern effective treatments for acne regulation that offer safe and drastic solutions for every beauty problem of your skin.

How will Photoregeneration for Acne eliminate acne that causes spots and scarring?

Acne is a skin disorder caused by various factors, including hormonal and genetic ones. On the skin there is a normal population of bacteria of the Propionibacterium acnes type, but when pores get clogged, the smegma produced and the multiplication of P. Acnes result in the formation of the distended and inflammatory damages of acne.

Aurora AC uses a specific light energy spectrum aiming at the bacteria causing acne. It combines the light energy of pulsed light – IPL (short wavelengths of the blue spectrum) and the radio-frequency – RF energy in order to reduce the inflammatory damages of acne and the time required for their healing. The skin’s texture and colour become smoother.
