What Carboxytherapy can do for you?

Carboxytherapy (Carbon Dioxide Therapy) is fast becoming the leading skin rejuvenation treatment. It is safe and minimally invasive. It is a clinically proven method to rejuvenate, restore, and recondition the skin. In
HEALTH AND SKINCARE / SOMATOLOGY / AESTHETICS carboxytherapy can be used to treat fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles under the eyes, loose crêpe skin, cellulite, resistant fat, stretch marks, scars, and
even hair loss.

How does it work?

Carboxytherapy involves injecting very small amounts of Carbon dioxide (CO²) beneath the
skin to break down fatty deposits and stimulate collagen production. The treatment has no downtime, and each session can take anything between fifteen minutes to an hour to complete. Carboxytherapy infuses CO² just beneath the skin’s surface; the body interprets this as an oxygen deficit and response by providing a surge of oxygen and nutrients to the treated area. This improves circulation, resulting in cell restoration. This increased oxygen concentration can also improve oedema.

HEALTH AND SKINCARE / SOMATOLOGY / AESTHETICS clinics or Medi spas offer carboxytherapy treatments which have many effects on the skin for example:

• In the dermis the effect will increase blood flow, and stimulate collagen production which in turn will soften fine lines and wrinkles. A decrease in dark circles under the eye is also seen and the treatment also assists in stimulating hair growth.
• For fat reduction, the heated gas at high volume is introduced deep into the fat which then breaks up the fat cell and stimulates new vessels and rejuvenation.
• For cellulite reduction, a lymph drainage treatment increases the circulation to the area, thereby reducing the build-up of toxins which is a major cause of cellulite. When the gas is introduced into the dermis, it breaks down the superficial fat which creates a dimpled effect on the skin and stimulates dermal collagen levels. This all leads to improved skin texture and of course the appearance of the orange peel effect.
• For stretchmarks, this is the only treatment available for both old and new stretchmarks. It visibly repairs broken collagen and is safe for all skin types. Carboxytherapy stimulates the formation of new collagen, and this plumps up and thickens the skin, to improve the appearance of the stretchmarks by rebuilding the collagen matrix.

Can all skin types be safely treated with Carboxytherapy?

Carboxytherapy safely treats all skin types without significant pain or downtime. It can reduce centimeters on specific areas that are treated and the appearance of cellulite is noticeably improved in only 6 to 12 treatments. It is recommended to do each treatment one week apart.

WHAT IS LIP OIL?

Cold winter dry air or the hot summer sun and wind can leave your
lips dry and dehydrated. Some lip products, such as long-wearing lipstick, can really dry
out your lips, too. Unfortunately, lip balm often isn’t enough to keep dryness and cracking at bay. Instead of reapplying your lip balm or lip gloss over and over, consider reaching for a lip oil instead. MAKE-UP ARTISTS use lip oils not only to give your lips a beautiful glossy shine, but they also to nourish, soften, and protect your lips from dehydration and cracking. Lip oil is in essence, a hybrid multitasking product that blurs the lines between makeup and skincare. Lip oils are made with natural oils and other beneficial ingredients that nourish and hydrate the lips. They have a consistency somewhere between a lip gloss and a lip balm. Lip oils add a glossy shine to the lips and can be worn alone, under lipstick, or on top of lipstick to protect the lips against dryness and cracking.

WHAT DOES LIP OIL DO?

Unlike the skin on the rest of your body, the lips
do not have sebaceous oil glands making them more vulnerable to dryness and damage. MAKE-UP ARTISTS use lip oils to provide deep hydration
while adding a layer of protection against harsh elements.

LIP OIL VS LIP BALM

We’ve all had dry lips at one time or another and reached for a lip balm to get relief. Unfortunately, most lip balms are made from a wax base. They coat the lips and provide temporary relief, but they don’t provide any long-lasting benefits. Lip oils are different because they are made from natural oils that can penetrate deep into the lips to add moisture that lasts for hours without reapplying. Natural lip oils also offer healing properties that improve the health and appearance of your lips over time.

LIP OIL VS LIP GLOSS

So, what’s the difference between lip oil and lip gloss? Well, lip gloss generally has a sticky, heavy consistency that sits on the surface of your lips. On the other hand, lip oils have a lightweight finish that adds a beautiful
shine without being sticky. Natural lip oils are also made with nourishing ingredients that protect your lips and enhance their natural appearance.

HOW TO USE LIP OIL

MAKE-UP ARTISTS use lip oil as a lip treatment to soothe, nourish, and heal the delicate skin on your lips. It can also be used much like a gloss. One swipe will leave your lips looking juicy and plump. Lip Oil can also be
layered over or under your favourite lip colour to add hydration and shine. Try pairing it over your favourite lip stain to give it a glossier finish or use it as a nourishing base layer under long-wearing lipstick for extra hydration. We offer a variety of MAKE-UP ARTIST COURSES where you can learn the art of make-up application for different occasions and events.

If the good old “new year, new me” saying is already a recurring mantra for you, then you may want to make sure your hair colour for 2023 is on point.

In HAIRDRESSING / COSMETOLOGY you can create the following colour trend looks:

1. Dark Brown

We have Kim Kardashian to thank for this upcoming trend. Dark brown hair is easy to style, and it suits many different hairstyles and fashion trends, so a versatile and clever choice.

3. Dusty Pink

Brace yourself! The return of pastel colours is coming. Rose gold hair has reached peak popularity quite a few times in the past decades, and I’m happy to see it back. Who do we own the pleasure to? Probably ROSÉ from K-pop band Blackpink, who rocked her tresses in different shades of champagne pink, pale strawberry blonde and dusty pink multiple times throughout her career, loyal to her stage name.

4. Ombre Hair

In HAIRDRESSING / COSMETOLOGY the Ombre hair is back and incredibly low maintenance. Stars like Miley Cyrus, and Vanessa Hudgens have taken this look to the next level and stuck to the classic bleached blonde version: however, you could combine your ombre hair with any shade you’d like – from trendy pink to enticing bright red or alluring turquoise shades – and customise it to your personal taste and aesthetic. Looking to add ombre hair to your usual looks? Don’t worry about bleaching your ends – consider adding ombre hair extensions and forget about the drama of oxygen peroxide!

5. In HAIRDRESSING / COSMETOLOGY any Shade of Red is in!

From metallic, bright shades to darker, elegant tones and finally coming to natural hues: what’s not to love about red hair? Copper has surely kept stage presence throughout 2022, rapidly followed by auburn, plum and cherry-inspired shades, as more and more celebrities, and influencers have adopted the best red hair shade to complement their complexions. Take it from celebrities such as Lourdes Leon, Kendall Jenner, Zendaya and more: red is in, and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

8. Platinum Blonde

In HAIRDRESSING / COSMETOLOGY Platinum blonde never dies, and celebrities such as Gigi Hadid and Anya Taylor Joy can confirm this. No matter how many trends you try and how many times you go back to your natural colour like Kim Kardashian did, although pricey and difficult to get, ice blonde tresses have something so fascinating to them that it keeps on coming back.

When you study HEALTH AND SKINCARE/ BEAUTY THERAPY/ SOMATOLOGY will learn about the following benefits of infant massage:

• IMPROVING SLEEP QUALITY

Bedtime routines, especially those including infant massage, have been shown to improve multiple aspects of the sleep cycle for both the child and the parent/caregiver.

• SUPPORTING BONDING & ATTACHMENT

Parent education programs can increase parent confidence and attachment, resulting in greater success in adapting to and developing strategies to cope with parenthood, and can benefit mothers with postpartum depression by helping them to relate to their babies and inducing the release of oxytocin.

• CHILD DEVELOPMENT

Infants who experience regular massage often see reduced stress, nervous system improvements, and improved self-regulation and body awareness. Other developmental aspects like muscle tone, joint mobility, gastrointestinal issues, and response to forms of therapy can also be experienced. It is especially helpful for children who require extra support, including babies born premature, babies born addicted, and HIV+ babies.

• REDUCING VIOLENCE AND ABUSE

Nurturing parenting skills is one of the most important protective factors for lessening child abuse and neglect, with approaches that enhance parent skills and promote healthy child development having a demonstrated effect on prevention.

Massage therapy may be particularly good for premature babies in special care, resulting in:

• Improved weight gain, particularly if oils are used.
• A more stable heart rate.
• Calmer response to stress and pain.
• More stable brain activity.
