Dull Skin Treatment Melbourne

Why Is Your Skin Dull?

Dull skin is a consequence of natural intrinsic ageing, cumulative exposure to UV light, smoking and other environmental toxins, genetics, and poor skin care.

Over time, open pores, fine lines, coarse texture, dehydrated skin all contribute to a dull, non-vibrant look. Dull skin can detract from your face even when your shape and features are perfect.

In fact, studies have shown that those with clearer skin looked more youthful than those without wrinkles!

How Can The Dr. Jodie Clinic Help With Your Dull Skin Concerns?

The Dr. Jodie clinic offers consultations and advice on how to improve dull skin.

When it comes to dull skin, education is paramount! At the Dr. Jodie clinic, we believe that prevention is key. Healthy living in the form of a balanced diet and regular exercise is crucial to good health and good skin. Avoid smoking and other environmental toxins as much as you can. Most importantly, protect your skin from damage from harsh UV rays with sun avoidance and a broad spectrum, high SPF sunscreen. Dr. Jodie personally eats a plant-based diet.

In addition to lifestyle changes, at the Dr. Jodie clinic we strongly advocate for the use of active at-home skin care and regular in-clinic Skin Peels with LED Therapy to improve your skin quality and achieve the skin glow you have always wanted. Medical treatments, too, can improve skin quality but cannot legally be discussed online, as per our governing body, the Therapeutic Goods Australia (TGA).

For additional skin tightening and radiance, you may wish to consider the Scarlet S Radio Frequency Microneedling device, especially if you are on the more mature side of life. And for your best results, Dr. Jodie has expanded her skin rejuvenation repertoire to include Laser Genesis, the Excel V+ Laser and Medi Pulse Pro IPL therapy, which focus on improving your skin tone and texture. What a fantastic way to maintain your skin health!

How do you know what you need? Your first step is always consultation.

What Is Involved In Your Consultation At The Dr. Jodie Clinic For Dull Skin?

Your Dr. Jodie clinician will first assess your skin quality to identify and prioritise your main concerns. In particular, she will examine for loss of skin radiance and glow, loss of firmness, textural irregularities such as open pores, acne scars or fine lines, and pigmentation and vascular changes. She will then devise a treatment plan to help your skin glow by addressing glow detractors.

In your consultation, you can expect that each step of your treatment process will be carefully explained, with risks and benefits outlined, and your costs clearly stated. You will have ample time to have all your questions answered.

Standardised clinical photography will also be used to document your progress.

How Can Skin Peels And Skin Care Help Dull Skin?

The Dr. Jodie clinic offers a professional Skin Peel range from Aspect Dr, as well as cosmeceutical and medical grade skin care products with active ingredients for clearer, smoother, brighter skin. All skin services are carried out by your Dr. Jodie clinician, hand-selected for her attention to detail and her understanding of skin and the treatments provided.

Remember, not all skin care products are created equal! Your Dr. Jodie clinician can devise a skin care program with just the right ingredients tailored exactly to your needs and designed to maintain your in-clinic results. Your active skin care should, at a minimum, include:

• A cleanser to remove environmental impurities without irritating or stripping your skin of it's natural moisturising factors,
• A moisturiser to nourish and repair your skin barrier and prevent dehydration of your skin,
• Vitamin A (retinol or the more potent retinoic acid) to reduce fine lines and signs of ageing by supporting collagen production,
• Vitamin B (niacinamide or B3, and B5) to minimise oil production, fade pigmentation and soothe skin irritation,
• Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) to fade pigmentation and reduce signs of ageing as a powerful antioxidant,
• AHA/BHA to gently exfoliate the surface of your skin and address pigmentation,
• Broad spectrum, SPF 50+ to protect your skin from damage from UVA and UVB exposure, and Various peptides and other agents, like resveratrol, for their additional anti-oxidant effect.

How Does The Scarlet S Radio Frequency Microneedling Device Improve Skin Radiance?

Although the Scarlet S Radio Frequency Microneedling device is primarily for skin texture and tightening, anything that has a smoothing effect on skin will contribute to skin glow. The Scarlet S works by combining microneedling and radio frequency energy to heat small columns of tissue to promote skin renewal and collagen and elastin production. Its microneedling component, alone, can help fade unwanted skin pigmentation, leading to a more even skin tone and improved radiance. Fortunately, treatment with radio frequency energy is suitable for all skin types, so no-one misses out.

How Does Laser Genesis Brighten Your Skin?

Laser Genesis is your ultimate minimal or no-downtime skin glow treatment. It gently heats the upper layers of the skin leading to cell turnover and new collagen and elastin. This rejuvenating process smooths the skin by minimising fine lines, acne scarring and open pores. It also targets the fine broken capillaries of your face, diminishing facial redness and facial flushing. At the Dr. Jodie clinic, traditional Laser Genesis is complemented by cutting-edge Green Laser Genesis, which slowly lightens skin pigmentation over time, leading to a brighter, fresher complexion.

What Other Devices At The Dr. Jodie Clinic Can Improve Skin Dullness?

It is important to understand that sometimes dull skin is the consequence of too many broken blood vessels or too much pigmentation. At the Dr. Jodie clinic, we have the Excel V+ Laser, which is fast becoming the gold standard treatment for vascular conditions, such as red spots and generalised facial redness. We also have the Medi Pulse Pro XL IPL, which is our preferred treatment for brown spots and generalised skin pigmentation. Interestingly there is overlap and the Excel V+ Laser can also treat pigmentation and the Medi Pulse Pro XL IPL can also treat vascular issues. But both rejuvenate the skin with collagen and elastin production. Your Dr. Jodie clinician will determine if you are a good candidate for treatment, as both may require recovery time and they are not suitable for darker skin types.

It is important to acknowledge that all laser and IPL treatments carry risks and these will be thoroughly explained at your consultation appointment at the Dr. Jodie clinic.
