Question 12

Can I have just one chemical peel to improve my skin?

Accepted Answer

It is possible to just have a single peel, but we recommend a course of 6 to really see the long-term skin benefits.  It's a little like going to the gym; you can go occasionally but the real results will come when you commit to an ongoing programme.  We make starting your peel journey really easy with our Medik8 12 Weeks to WOW programme - basically 'personal training for your skin'.  Our trained therapists will work with you over a 12 week period to visibly transform your skin through a bespoke programme of in-clinic treatments and at-home care to achieve skin that really wows.

Question 13

Is there downtime after a chemical peel?

Accepted Answer

By definition, the application of acids to the skin may cause redness, skin flaking and mild peeling; but every skin is different. Our low PH, high active acid peels are delivered using a time-release molecule (Arginine) to give fantastic results with less downtime. We recommend not to wear makeup for the first 12 hours post-peel to ensure the skin remains bacteria-free.  You will be recommended a comprehensive aftercare routine to continue with at home to ensure your skin recovers and rejuvenates correctly.  As a general rule, expect flaking from around the 3rd day post-peel for a maximum of 5 further days.  You should avoid direct sun exposure during these recovery days and always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.  We recommend UGLYS AESTHETIC CLINIC go home with our Physical Sunscreen which is a mineral, non-nano, broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30 which provides great protection and as mineral sunscreen is very gentle on compromised skin.  To get the absolute best results from your peel we recommend using a post-treatment skincare kit. You will receive one of these free when you buy a course of 6 treatments, or at a discounted price when you buy a course of 3 or a single peel.

Question 14

How peels work?

Accepted Answer

Our skin is made up of protein, water and other minor structural chemicals.  Proteins are complex chains of amino acids which are very sensitive to the level of PH surrounding them.  When the skins proteins react with an acid in a low pH, coagulation occurs.  The lower the pH, the stronger the acid and therefore more coagulation occurs.  The lower the pH, the more acidic the solution and therefore it will penetrate the skin deeper.

Question 15

What acids are used within Medik8 peels?

Accepted Answer

AHA - Lactic -  stimulates and exfoliates  BHA - Salicylic acid - deep cleansing and antibacterial  Polydroxy acids - Lactobionic acid - Anti-inflammatory, reduces redness and contains powerful antioxidants promoting cellular turnover.

Question 16

Pre- peel skin preparation

Accepted Answer

Prior to all peel treatments we advise UGLYS AESTHETIC CLINIC to come for a skin Health assessment in which we can discuss your needs and expectations to ensure you receive the best treatment for your concerns.  All peel UGLYS AESTHETIC CLINIC will be given complimentary Vitamin C and Retinol to use 2 weeks prior to their peel to prepare their skin.  Medik8 believe that this step enhances the results from our superficial peels and all UGLYS AESTHETIC CLINIC must complete this prior to treatment commencement.

Question 17

Pre -Peel Consultation

Accepted Answer

A pre-peel consultation must take place approximately 2 weeks before performing the first peel  procedure.  At the consultation your skin will be analysed and photos taken, medical history taken, and the  appropriate peel discussed with you. A patch test will also be performed by applying a small  amount of peel to your inner arm.  Your skin needs to be prepped for 2 weeks prior to your peel with Vitamin C and Retinol. This will be  provided at your skin consultation appointment. For Fitzpatrick skin type 4 (olive to moderate  brown natural skin tone e.g. Asian) to 6 (black natural skin tone e.g. Nigerian) skin prep to be a  minimum of 4 weeks and will include a pigment suppressant (White Balance Brightening Serum).

Question 19

Should I have a facial or a chemical peel?

Accepted Answer

We recommend professional treatments alongside at-home care so you can achieve the best possible result.

That's why we also offer a menu of zero-downtime professional treatments too which deliver immediate, noticeable results, smell and feel amazing and deliver that bit of me-time with less commitment.

Question 20

How do I prepare for a skin peel?

Accepted Answer

Prep your skin. We will provide you with products to prepare your skin in the 2 weeks prior to your peel.  It has been proven that vitamin C and vitamin A can increase skin cell renewal, which reduces the healing time involved in peels.  Try our CE-Tetra® (or one of our many other vitamin C products) every morning for 2 weeks prior to your peel.  Add in vitamin A in the evening, in the form of Crystal Retinal 6™, or one of our vitamin A serums to see best results

Question 21

Who will benefit from a peel?

Anyone looking for significant results with moderate downtime and peeling or anyone who wants to prepare their skin for a deeper peel. Medik8 peels can help with Pigmentation, Blemishes, General Scarring, Dull complexions and Fine lines and wrinkles.

Question 22

Are chemical peels right for everyone?

Accepted Answer

Chemical peels are suitable for almost everyone and we have a varied range from our Sensitive PHA Peel which is suitable for very sensitive skins right through to our mono peels which use high-strength single acids that can even be layered to target stubborn concerns.  Certain skin conditions/people may be 'contra-indicated' and therefore shouldn't go down the peel route until the skin is normalised. However, there are lots of other treatment options we offer.

Question 23

What is a chemical peel?

Accepted Answer

Medik8 chemical peels are professional-grade exfoliating acids applied to the skin with a small brush to help resurface and retexture.

Question 24

Which chemical peel is right for me?

Accepted Answer

When you book in with one of our experienced Medik8 therapists, you will be given a pre-peel consultation 2 weeks before your treatment date.    This is to assess your skin type and needs, so your therapist can use their high level of expertise to find a treatment tailored to you.  Beginners may wish to start with a Sensitive PHA Professional Skin Peel, suitable for extremely sensitive or redness-prone skin.  From here on you can move onto more advanced peels, such as Rewind Professional Skin Peel, which helps to diminish stubborn fine lines and wrinkles, or Clarity Professional Skin Peel, ideal for rebalancing blemish-prone skin.

Question 25

What does a chemical peel feel like?

Accepted Answer

Peels can cause some mild discomfort and temporary redness; dependent on the strength of the peel you have chosen.  Above all else – relax. The peeling process provides you with some valuable me-time, so enjoy the peace and allow yourself to switch into relaxation mode.  After all of our peel protocols, we apply Ultimate Recovery™ Bio-Cellulose Mask to rapidly cool, restore and soothe the skin

Question 26

Dos and Don’ts following a chemical peel?

Accepted Answer

Don't pick at any flaky skin. Your skin is naturally turning over after you're peel and picking may create soreness and even scarring.  Don't use any harsh exfoliants (chemical (AHA/ BHA cleansers/toners) or physical (grainy scrubs)) for at least 3 days post-peel. Don't spend extended periods of time in direct sunlight.  Always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin.  Stick to the aftercare regime that we give to you.  You can read more about preparation for a peel and aftercare here.

Question 27

How Does Microdermabrasion Work?

Accepted Answer

During a Microdermabrasion treatment, a fine jet of abrasive crystals gently removes dead skin cells layer by layer and a vacuum action lifts away the debris, stimulating the blood flow and encouraging collagen and elastin formation

Question 28

What Can Microdermabrasion Treat?

Accepted Answer

Microdermabrasion treats a variety of skin related problems including acne and acne scarring, dull and tired skin, pigmentation, blemishes and the effects of ageing skin including wrinkles and fine lines

Question 29

What Are the Benefits of Microdermabrasion?

Accepted Answer

In as little as 30 minutes a Microdermabrasion Facial will firm up, revitalise and leave you with more youthful looking skin. During a course of treatments, wrinkles and fine lines will disappear, acne and acne scarring will be significantly reduced and dull and tired skin will be restored to glowing health.  Effectiveness  A single SkinBase™ treatment can remove up to three times the number of dead skin cells in a single session than other exfoliating treatments.  Better Skin for Longer  Microdermabrasion encourages cell renewal, which means your skin will benefit from improved elasticity, a smoother texture and reduced signs of ageing.  Zero Recovery Time  Unlike many skin rejuvenation treatments, Microdermabrasion is non-invasive, so requires zero recovery time. It is often referred to as the ‘lunchtime Facial’ because of the convenience and effectiveness.  Everyone Can Benefit!  Microdermabrasion is suitable for all skin types, and therapists will assess your skin before advising on the number of treatments you will need.  Flexible to Suit Individual Skin Types  The treatment settings are widely adjustable; meaning therapists are able to tailor the treatment to individual skin types and problems.  The SkinBase™ Facial uses safe, non-allergenic crystals and is suitable for all skin types. Book a consultation with your therapist to hear all the benefits SkinBase™ Facial Microdermabrasion has for you.  The vacuum action during The SkinBase™ Facial works to stimulate the production of collagen, something we lose gradually as we age. This stimulation and skin’s renewal improves the condition of the skin’s surface – helping to target ageing skin, stretch marks, pigmentation, cellulite, dry and dehydrated skin and acne scarring.  For anti-ageing treatments, all skin types and tones from ages 28 and up will benefit the most from The SkinBase™ Facial. However, for problematic skin such as Acne Scarring all age groups can benefit. Under 16 year olds will need a parental co-sign however.

Question 30

Are There Any Downsides to Microdermabrasion?

Accepted Answer

A correctly performed procedure by a fully qualified Microdermabrasion therapist will result in nothing more than the skin feeling tight, occasionally with a mild redness. These effects will normally subside within 24 hours of the treatment. Sometimes Microdermabrasion can trigger a healing crisis in problematic skin, such as an acne breakout in acne sufferers or pimples for those with congested skin. This is a sign that the treatment is taking effect. This temporary reaction will subside and great improvements will be seen over subsequent treatments. Higher intensities can cause an uneven lightening effect in darker skin tones. Your therapist should use a lower intensity treatment on these skin types. Those who are pregnant or who have rosacea should not have Microdermabrasion treatments.

Question 31

Benefits of collagen Lift?

Accepted Answer

Collagen Lift ™ is extremely effective for non-surgical skin tightening and firming loose or sagging skin. This makes it ideal for those who either don’t want, or don’t believe they are old enough for surgical procedures. Some Injectables paralyse the muscle to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and plump out the skin. With Collagen Lift ™, you can look forward to increased muscle tone, a more defined jaw line and diminished fine lines caused by the natural tightening effect from a realignment of the tissues. Results from a course of Collagen Lift ™ are instant.   Tightening of the elastin fibres occurs immediately, giving an instant visible result. Treatment also stimulates new collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.Over the medium term, collagen production increases for up to 3 months after the course has been completed. Long term, results can last up to 2 years.

Question 32

What does Collagen Lift ™ treatment feel like

Accepted Answer

Question 33

How many treatments will I need and how often?

Accepted Answer

We recommend a course of six sessions completed either; one a week for six weeks, or two a week for three weeks. After this we suggest a single session every 4-6 weeks to maintain the results. Top up courses of six treatments are recommended every 2 years.

Accepted Answer

Results from a course of Collagen Lift ™ treatments are instant. Tightening of the elastin fibres occurs immediately, giving an instant visible result.

Question 38

How does collagen lift works?

Accepted Answer

Collagen keeps skin plump and firm, but the body produces less each year causing skin to lose its elasticity as we age. Fine lines and wrinkles begin to form and skin begins to sag.Our latest treatment, Collagen Lift ™ helps by stimulating the body’s own natural production of collagen and elastin to reverse the effects of skin ageing – and it’s seriously effective!During treatment, a ceramic wand delivers waves of radio frequency energy to realign fibres within the skin. The deeper levels of the skin are heated, stimulating several natural responses in the body. Collagen Lift isn’t painful or invasive like a facelift or other medical procedures, in fact it feels similar to a hot stone massage.   Results can be seen instantlyThe results of a Collagen Lift treatment can be seen immediately – your skin is instantly tighter.

After the treatment, the skin may feel tight with mild redness. Therefore it is important that you use a good moisturiser and drink plenty of water. These effects normally subside within 36 hours of treatment.

Question 40

Who is Collagen Lift For?

Accepted Answer

The great thing is it’s suitable for all skin types and colours. Collagen Lift will tighten, strengthen, contour and tone for a more youthful looking you. Anyone with a need for skin tightening will benefit from this treatment. Skin usually begins to sag and lose collagen during our late 20’s and every year our body will produce about 1% less collagen. The treatment can be performed on any skin colour and skin type. Collagen Lift ™ uses radio frequency technology to stimulate the production of new collagen and the realignment of elastin fibres deep within the skin, tightening and strengthening the skin and tissue. With Collagen Lift ™ it is no longer necessary to go under the knife to lift, refresh and tighten the skin. Zero down time. Just amazing firm, plump and fresh skin. Is Collagen lift safe for all skin types? Yes, Collagen Lift can be used for all skin types and colours on many areas of the body and face.

Question 41

How does it feel?

Accepted Answer

Most people liken the feeling to being flicked by an elastic band. The SkinBase™ system uses a special cooling handset applied to the skin prior to treatment and immediately after, providing a chemical-free anaesthetic effect on the skin to minimise any sensation.

Question 42

When you attend your patch test

Accepted Answer

If you are able to come with visible hair growth in the area of at least 1mm that would be preferable BUT NOT ESSENTIAL. Please do not expose the area to UV or self-tan for at least 4 weeks prior to the patch test. Avoid intense exfoliation, Microdermabrasion or peels on the treated area at least for 1 week before. Avoid swimming in strong chlorinated water immediately before and after the patch test.

Question 43

How many treatments will I need?

Accepted Answer

Hair growth happens in 3 different phases and permanent reduction is achieved during one particular phase. This means typically a course of 8-10 sessions will be needed to start with. Each client will experience varying results, however we expect a reduction of between 70-95% in most cases. Some UGLYS AESTHETIC CLINIC may need more treatments in the course before we achieve the desired results and all UGLYS AESTHETIC CLINIC will need top up treatments at regular intervals.

Question 53

IS THE SECOND APPOINTMENT NECESSARY?

Accepted Answer

For microblading, at least two appointments are needed initially, at least four to six weeks apart. Microblading touch-ups are done no earlier than four weeks after your initial procedure and no later than eight. If you do not schedule your eyebrow tattoo touch-up within eight weeks, you will be required to pay the touch-up fee outlined in the touch-up schedule. It is absolutely imperative to complete the touch-up treatment. Without it, the results will not be optimal. At the permanent makeup touch-up, we assess the colour retention and make adjustments as necessary. Everyone heals differently and at different rates. If your cosmetic tattoo does not heal perfectly the first time, do not worry! We can always go bolder and add more density as well as correct any irregularities in the microbladed hair strokes during the touch-up.

Question 54

CAN YOU MICROBLADE YOUR OWN EYEBROWS?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. Performing such an invasive procedure on your own face can scar you for life — pun intended. In order to achieve ideal results with microblading eyebrows, proper stretching of the skin is extremely important, which works together with adequate pressure. Without proper stretching, you will harm your skin and most likely cut too deep and cause undesired scarring.

Question 55

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY MICROBLADING APPOINTMENT?

Accepted Answer

Do not work out 48 hours before the procedure. 
*Discontinue any use on the face of retinol, glycolic acid, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and alpha hydroxyls, as well as any chemical anti-aging exfoliants, eyebrow growth serums, or any "brightening" skin care products at least two to three weeks prior to your microblading procedure. These products thin the skin and do not produce good healed results. 
Botox and dermal fillers should be avoided at least two to three weeks prior to the procedure. Avoid sun and tanning beds at least two weeks prior to your appointment because when your skin exfoliates a sunburn, it will take the pigment with it.   Do not take any Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Niacin, or Advil within 48 hours of your appointment. 
Avoid blood thinning supplements, like garlic, turmeric, vitamin E and fish oils. 
Do not consume alcohol within 24-48 hours before procedure, and do not consume caffeine the morning of your appointment. 
No brow waxing, tinting, or threading at least one week prior to your appointment. 
Come with your brows pencilled in so we can see how you like and are used to having them. 
*Any skincare products for youth, repair, anti-aging, wrinkles, acne, tone correcting, brightening, etc. are likely to have these ingredients, do not use them anywhere on the face 3-4 weeks prior to procedure.

Question 56

IS MICROBLADING PERMANENT?

Accepted Answer

Because the colour is implanted into the upper dermal layer of the skin and cannot be washed off, microblading brows is considered permanent. However, the pigment is implanted more superficially than a traditional tattoo, making it fade over time and requiring future touch ups.

Question 57

HOW LONG DOES MICROBLADING LAST?

Accepted Answer

Microbladed eyebrows typically last one to two years for most people before they need a touch up. Cosmetic tattoo treatments are considered permanent and will not wash off — however, they will fade over time and may need to be refreshed every 12 months to 18 months. Those who do not follow aftercare instructions properly may require more frequent microblading touch-ups.

Question 58

HOW LONG IS THE MICROBLADING PROCESS?

Accepted Answer

The appointment usually takes two to three hours, and most of the time is spent going over drawing the shape of your eyebrows and picking the right colour in order to ensure that your eyebrow blading turns out perfect.

Question 59

AFTER YOUR BROWS HAVE HEALED

Accepted Answer

Microblading can last anywhere from one to two, years depending on the client's lifestyle, skin type, and aftercare. 
Exposure to the sun and tanning beds can cause fading and discolouration of the eyebrow blading pigment.   
When you are outdoors, always apply sunscreen to the brows once completely healed. 
76 / 76 Maintain removal of unwanted brow hair outside of your microbladed shape by tweezing, waxing, threading, or razoring.   
Do not laser around the brow area, as some lasers can change the colour of the pigment.   
Additional brow makeup application may still be required post-microblading to achieve your desired look.     PLEASE NOTE: The results are natural, fuller looking eyebrows. Initially, the brows may appear darker but fade significantly over the first two weeks. Although our cosmetic tattoo artists use premium products and provide exceptional service, all clients heal differently, and many factors lead to varied results. It is crucial to have a microblading touch-up done, as it is very difficult to predict how well your skin will retain the pigment. Due to this and other varying factors, we cannot guarantee your results. 
For further sun protection, wear hats and sunglasses.   
Yearly eyebrow tattoo touch-ups are recommended to maintain your results.

Question 60

DOES MICROBLADING HURT?

Accepted Answer

At UGLYS AESTHETIC CLINIC Studio in Saco, our licensed makeup tattoo artists use two different types of numbing to help alleviate any discomfort. Having this service performed during your menstrual cycle may increase discomfort during the microblading process.

Question 61

I HAD MY EYEBROWS MICROBLADED SOMEWHERE ELSE, CAN YOU DO A TOUCH UP?"

Accepted Answer

If you have been microbladed elsewhere and need a touch-up, the full microblading price will be charged.

Question 62

MICROBLADING IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR ANY CLIENTS WHO ARE OR HAVE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:

Accepted Answer

Question 63

WILL YOU DRAW THE SHAPE ON FIRST?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we won’t start the microblading process until you agree with the colour selected and the shape.

Question 64

WHAT IS MICROBLADING?

Accepted Answer

Microblading is the artistic technique using a manual method of eyebrow tattooing that creates beautiful, individual hair strokes. The results? Gorgeous, natural looking eyebrows, regardless of the amount of hair present. The microblading technique is not recommended for oily skin as the healed results are not optimal.
