While many cosmetic treatments like BOTOX and fillers can be done at any time of year, treatments involving laser and intense pulsed light are best done when the skin is less tanned and exposure to the sun is limited. This makes Winter the perfect time of year to book in your Light therapy to reduce pigmentation and rosacea, or your laser therapy to stimulate your skin’s natural processes and promote the softening of fine lines and wrinkles. As always, we make it look natural, so talk to us about Light and Laser therapies today!

1.     What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are injections of a gel made out of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in your skin. At Palm Clinic we use Juvederm dermal filler, which contains an anaesthetic that increases your comfort levels during the injection process.

Undergoing liposuction can work wonders for one’s appearance, body contour, and even self-esteem. However, most people have a common misconception that once you undergo the procedure, nothing is required on your part to maintain and keep your liposuction results. On the contrary, you must adopt certain lifestyle choices to ensure your liposuction results are maintained.

Autumn and winter are the best seasons to get varicose veins treatment. Not only is compression hosiery (which you must wear after treatment) most tolerable in the cooler months, it can also take a few months for legs to look their best for spring and summer. At Palm Clinic, our vein care treatments are focused on comfort and confidence for your every step, and as our experts recommend, that means taking the time now to treat your legs and be ready for the warmer days to come.

Let’s explore your vein care treatment options here at Palm Clinic and why it’s best to start treatment during the cooler seasons.

As 2019 kicks into high gear, we’re focusing on preserving the health and youth of skin through good cosmeceutical skincare. If you’re familiar with beauty therapy in Auckland, you’ve likely heard the term “cosmeceuticals” tossed around. They’ve been around since the 80s, but cosmetic skincare products with pharmaceutical benefits are rapidly gaining popularity among Auckland skin clinics.

But what do you know about your cosmeceutical skincare product? Cosmeceuticals are not regulated as thoroughly as other medical products and thus are not required to back up their medicinal claims with rigorous testing. So, is your cosmeceutical skincare product delivering the goods? Read on to learn why good cosmeceutical skincare is so important.

Varicose veins and spider veins may seem like interchangeable terms for the same thing, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Here’s the low-down on the causes, symptoms and treatments for both varicose veins and spider veins. Spider veins are the less serious of the two and are seen as small discoloured veins that have a spider-web like appearance typically on the legs. These veins rarely cause problems with pain and can be left untreated. In contrast, varicose veins occur due to faulty values in veins of the legs. Blood is able to therefore flow in the wrong direction causing bulging veins, which appear blue and purple. These veins can cause problems of pain, numbness in the legs and in some cases, leg ulcers.
