It is sad that natural changes in the skin as we grow older are often considered unacceptable and embarrassing. In the Western world, consumers spend billions on anti-ageing skin care treatments. We might think this is due to our youth-fixated western society, but throughout history anti-ageing potions (many of them very bizarre) have been applied to the skin. Old skin is wrinkled, dry and saggy, and has a mottled colour. In fact, these changes are more to do with exposure to sunlight than with simply getting old. This is why the exposed areas on the hands, face and neck seem to age faster and look less attractive than the smooth and even skin on the tummy. Skin ages in two ways, through: • sun damage, which is probably responsible for 80% of skin ageing • normal ageing – but without sun damage we would probably not develop wrinkles until we were in our 80s. The sun is very bad for skin. It makes it thinner and damages its important proteins, such as collagen, which acts as scaffolding to give skin its strength, and elastin, which gives skin its bounce. Even young complexions develop fine wrinkles after sunbathing, giving the skin a coarse, grainy appearance. Collagen also supports the tiny blood vessels in the skin. Weakening of the collagen means the blood vessels show up as broken thread veins (‘farmer’s face’) and bleed more easily; these tiny bruises end up as mottled discoloration. Brownish patches, known as liver spots, gradually develop on sun-exposed areas such as the hands and sides of the forehead. Skin produces its own natural grease to protect the skin, and to prevent it from losing moisture. As we get older, our skin becomes more fragile, especially in sun-exposed areas, so it desperately needs the greasy protection. Unfortunately, older skin produces less grease, and every time we wash with soap we strip away the natural oils. • Use a sunscreen every day. This will prevent further ageing of your skin. • Give up smoking • Avoid overwashing. As your skin does not sweat as much when you are older and does not produce as much grease, body odour is not such a problem as in younger people. Obviously, you want to be hygienic, but consider bathing or showering on alternate days instead of daily • Use a ‘cream bar’ or ‘cream body wash’, rather than a soap • Avoid foam baths (bubble baths) Beautytek can tackle all aspects of ageing in the face and give you back your youth. Beautytek combats wrinkles, scars, under eye shadows, excess skin, and sagging muscletone. The energy supplied by Beautytek stimulates the circulatory system, resulting immediately in fresher looking skin. Gradually, lines and wrinkles are smoothed and sagging jowls are tightened, leaving you with a younger looking face that will be commented on! Facial muscles will become permanently more toned, resulting in a surgery-free facelift. As toxins are released from the system, as well as a reduction in pore size, dark circles gradually lessen and the skin cells become brighter. Beautytek is highly effective for facial rejuvenation. You can expect to see an overall firmness in the skin, a lift in facial muscle, improvement in skin tone and texture and excess fat and fluid being removed from the face. Fine lines are smoothed away and deeper lines become softer. Facial treatments in particular continue to improve after the course of treatments has been completed. Each client is photographed and measured at the start of the course and after every 6 treatments – this way there is a visual and measurable record of the success of the Beuatytek method. • Pain free and relaxing • No scarring or possibility of infection • No risk - you cannot be under or over-treated • No recovery period • TOTALLY NATURAL – IT’S YOUR BODY REPAIRING ITSELF! • Affordable – a fraction of the cost of cosmetic surgery! • What Is Beautytek? • The Treatments • Your Questions Answered • Is Beautytek For Me? • Find Your Local Mediteck Clinic • Home Page • Fat Reduction • Cellulite Treatment • Breast Enhancement • Skin Firming • Acne, Scarring & Stretch Marks • Face Lifting & Rejuvination
