The 6 Rs of holistic skincare
At Bass Coast, we believe skin health is a journey, not a destination. Healthy skin is the cornerstone of general dermatology, as well as cosmetic medicine. Your skin is the largest organ of your body so it’s important to regularly care for it, in the same way that you would exercise for your physical health. To achieve a healthy glow and long-lasting results, you must continue to protect and stimulate your skin over time.
It’s all about simple and consistent upkeep. To help illustrate this idea and plan an effective treatment plan for your skin, we have designed the 6 Rs of holistic skin care.
Repair
This is the most important step in improving skin health. Your doctor will carefully assess your skin and facilitate an open and safe conversation regarding your goals for your skin. A personalised treatment plan will be prescribed, combining medical-grade skin care and facials and peels, to effectively repair tired looking or sun damaged skin.
Relax
In this step, we use anti-wrinkle injections to relax your skin. This is the most popular way to reduce fine lines created by muscle movement, with the result of smoother and healthier looking skin. This treatment is quick and safe, relatively painless, and lasts 3-4 months on average.
Treatments
Restore
At the restoration stage, we use dermal fillers to replace lost volume. Dermal fillers refresh your skin in a natural looking way, restoring a more youthful balance to your face. Collagen-stimulating fillers will further improve volume and skin smoothness. Depending on the product used and the location of the skin, top ups are generally required every 6 months to 2 years.
Treatments
Reposition
In this step, thread lifting is used to lift and improve jowls, cheek folds, and necks. Along with its lifting power, this highly effective non-surgical method also stimulates collagen production (biostimulation) to improve tightening of the skin and promote a long-lasting glow. Thread lifting is generally repeated every 1.5-2 years.
Refine
This is where we evaluate your results and review your goals. By this stage, your skin will be much healthier and resilient and you will look more naturally refreshed. Your doctor will discuss next steps with you, if desired and deemed appropriate. At Bass Coast, we only recommend treatments that we believe in your best interests and aligned with your goals. Options include eyelid lifting, further improvement of fine lines and skin tightening, and further volume correction or collagen stimulation.
Treatments
Retain
Here is where we discuss your ongoing needs, in order to maintain the results you have achieved. This is generally the simplest step, as it is a continuation of what you are already doing. Our emphasis is on maintaining your skin care routine at home, to lessen the need for larger procedures. This step also presents an opportunity for our doctors to reinforce good skin care habits and address any issues you are unsure of. Good skin health is extremely important and we are dedicated to providing you with the correct education to ensure you are always taking care of your skin.
