Better known as the “Winter Blues” SAD is a medical condition that can seriously affect how people feel. Experts believe that reduced exposure to light, less venturing outside and shorter and colder days result in a reduced production of serotonin, the happy hormone produced in the hypothalamus, the part of the brain which regulates mood, appetite and sleep.
If you are a fair-haired beauty you may have either had IPL treatment in the past with next to no result, therefore a huge waste of time and money? Or, you have been turned away from treatment. We can tell you why…

“A friend got IPL Hair removal and it didn’t work!”
As summer comes every year, we all look forward to the warmer weather, days spent at the beach and bronzing up our winter skin’s. But most of us tend to forget the more serious & dangerous side of the sun. Did you know that 4000 people are diagnosed with either melanoma or invasive melanoma every year in New Zealand? That is around 11 people every single day.
Skin therapists are not only concerned with the cosmetic side of sun damage, which we see presented as hyper pigmentation and premature aging, but also the real reality of skin cancers.
Now, most people think that as long as I have bought some skin care and are putting some kind of product on my face, I am looking after my skin when in fact using incorrect skin care can create more harm than good.
Over the counter, Skin care products are usually classed in four categories: Oily, Dry, Normal and Combination skins. It seems simple enough to decide what category I think my skin is and choose my skincare off the shelf. But as skin research is an ever developing science, as highly trained skin therapists our focus is skin conditions, no longer skin types.
