Skincare Treatments from Ocean Cosmetics Get You Melisma-free Skin

Often first mistaken as large freckles or age spots, Melasma is actually a skin disorder, where brown pigmentation appears in patches. Quite common in women during pregnancy, the condition occurs when the cells under the skin (called melanocytes) are stimulated to produce an excess of the brown pigment (called melanin). The cells can be in the deep or surface layers of the skin, and sometimes both. Ocean Cosmetics laser skin care clinic in Perth offers a range of melisma pigmentation treatments to address this condition, so don’t hesitate to call us to discuss any concerns.

Melasma typically affects the face, especially the forehead, cheeks and top lip, although other areas such as the neck and forearms, can also shows discolouration, but this is rare.

Laser skin care treatments and microdermabrasion are both excellent at reducing the appearance of Melasma. Exfoliation is another important tool in speeding up the resolution of Melasma. It helps remove superficial pigmented skin cells and increases penetration of bleaching agents. Exfoliation can be mechanical (i.e. microdermabrasion) or chemical, with the use of peels. Try to use gentle methods as too much irritation could increase pigmentation. Microdermabrasion coupled with a chemical peel can be a particularly effective Melasma pigmentation treatment and Ocean Cosmetics laser skincare clinic in Perth are experienced at administering this double treatment, which combines both physical and manual exfoliation in one easy method, providing a complete, thorough and medically effective exfoliation. 

The other major cause of Melasma is, unsurprisingly, the sun. We recommend you wear a broad spectrum sunscreen every day, and try to keep your skin out of the sun as much as possible by covering up and wearing a hat. Melasma pigmentations treatments can reduce the appearance of discoloured patches but it is important to remember that Melasma is a recurring skin condition. Treatment may improve the condition for a time, but further exposure to triggers such as sun and hormones (including through multiple pregnancies), may signal recurrence and require further, ongoing, therapies. If you are suffering from the effects of Melasma, call Ocean Cosmetics today and enquire about our Melasma pigmentation treatments.

Pucker Up – Let’s Talk Lip Augmentation

Many factors steal away our youthfulness over time (all you mums out there know what I mean) leaving our skin looking tired and droopy, and frankly, not its best. Between family and work stress, environmental and emotional factors, sometimes it’s all we can do to not give up altogether! While we can’t stop the clock we do have age-defying options today that effectively restore youthfulness to keep us looking good. There are many cosmetic treatment options available to refresh and restore the look and feel of your skin and they are surprisingly affordable. But what area should you focus on first? 

A good place to start is with your lips. A thinning upper lip often makes you appear angry and old and who wants that? Our lips are such an important part of our faces, they help create balance, and if they are looking a little worse for wear it can affect our self-esteem. Lucky for us, lip augmentation is available! A subtle plumping and refilling of the lips will make you feel like a million dollars. Of course, we all want to avoid the dreaded trout pout, so what is the best option for lip augmentation?

So find yourself a good laser skin clinic in Perth like us, at Ocean Cosmetics) and start a conversation about lip augmentation.

Avoiding Quacks – How To Choose Your Cosmetic Clinic

You’ve decided to take the plunge and splurge on some dermal fillers for your skin, but how do you know which Perth cosmetic treatment clinic is right for you? (Stop frowning – we’ve done the hard work for you!) Skin care clinics seem to be on every corner right now as the cosmetic treatment market is booming.

How do you choose?

We’ve answered a few questions that might help make that decision a little easier for you.

Who will be administering your treatment?

The administering of dermal fillers and laser skin care techniques should be carried out by a doctor or a registered nurse who has been trained in the correct techniques. At Ocean Cosmetics our experienced staff members undergo regular training and are constantly refining and improving their skill.

Duckface Selfies And Trout Pouts: Avoiding The Downside Of Lip Augmentation

We’ve all seen pictures of celebrities pulling faces with big puffy lips blown out of proportion, looking weird, shiny and distorted. These pictures have done more to damage the reputation of lip augmentation than all the photos of beautiful women the advertising world can muster.

At Ocean Cosmetics, we pride ourselves on a more measured approach. We actually want our clients to return! Our lip fillers are used to enhance, not distort, your lips. You may not realise this, but not all laser skin clinics are the same. The varying levels of experience and education surrounding administering lip augmentation is huge. Don’t let yourself be caught out, as it takes some time for fillers to be reabsorbed by the body and nobody wants lumpy, bumpy lips for 6 months. The staff at Ocean’s are committed to providing excellent service and expert advice, and have years of professional experience behind them.

We are not just another laser skin clinic. We are owned and run by two medically trained Doctors – two women who understand the subtleties of lip augmentation and who know how to use lips fillers in such a way that your natural beauty is enhanced, without overpowering your face.

One of the primary uses for lip fillers is to plump up the lips and fill the tiny, fine lines that appear as we age.

The process is relatively painless as numbing cream is applied to the area before the filler is injected which does much to alleviate any discomfort. Filling lips is an art form. It takes skill to wield the needles artfully so ensure your laser skin clinic knows what they are doing. Faces are, in general, not symmetrical – the skill is in creating volume without unbalancing the look of the lip, or over-filling to the point where it looks odd.

Doctors’ Gina and Jess will complete a full-face analysis before recommending treatment options, so if you are looking for lip specialists, call Ocean Cosmetics today.
