⚡️The FDA finally approves a new OTC sunscreen ingredient in 20 years-‘Bemotrizinol’-making waves 🌊in the 🇺🇸US!

A sunscreen 🧴Sitting on a shelf in Perth 🦘or Paris 🇫🇷or LA 🎥is fundamentally different because they have to conform to different standards.

✨In Australia sunscreens are regulated by the TGA and carry an AUST L label before they can legally be sold. ‼️

Australia 🇦🇺 is progressive and Bemotrizinol has been approved by the TGA for some time because it is safe for children over 6m, has low systemic absorption and protects against both UVA & B radiation ☢️& is stable in sunlight ☀️

We have Dermaceutic’s K-Ceutic cream which is an advanced skin repairing and nourishing cream that is also SPF 50.😊

🦘Australia 🇦🇺 has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the 🌎 , often referred to as the "skin cancer capital of the world".

↘️Lifetime Risk: 2 out of 3 Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer by age 70😳

👩‍⚕️Healthcare Burden: Skin cancer accounts for roughly 80% of all newly diagnosed cancers in Australia each year.

Primary Cause: Over 95% of skin cancers in Australia are caused by ☢️ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sun ☀️ exposure.

✅Men’s 🙋‍♂️ Checks! For all those tricky spots!! Dr Eddy is experienced, friendly, and approachable. We have gold standard imaging with out D2 Vectra machines and a beautiful space for you to feel comfortable in.

✅ We know that men generally die at a younger age and face higher rates of lethal chronic conditions compared to women.

✅Men visit doctors less commonly and use health services less frequently than women.

✅Men show lower engagement and interest in primary preventive medical examinations and early screenings.

Let’s address this imbalance. We 👀 see you. Come in and get your check. Plenty of appointments available.

👉How does skin needling work?

Skin needling works by using tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the deeper layers of the skin, which triggers the body’s natural 🌱healing ⛑️response to produce new collagen and elastin.✨

The Process:
• Micro-Punctures: Our professional Dermapen glides over your skin to pierce the epidermis and reach the dermis.

• Wound-Healing Response: The body treats these tiny channels as minor wounds, releasing growth factors and increasing blood flow to build fresh, healthy tissue.

• Deeper Absorption: The microscopic channels also help active ingredients in topical serums (we have growth serums and DNA 🧬 repair serums and hyaluronic acid or vitamins) pe*****te deeper into the skin.

The process can also be understood in terms of -The 3 Healing Phases

• Inflammatory Phase: Immune cells rush to the micro-wounds to clean them and boost blood flow.
• Proliferative Phase: New cells, blood vessels, and tissue start to form.
• Remodeling Phase: Fresh collagen and elastin organize to thicken, firm, and smooth the skin over several weeks

Dermapen Skin Needling is completely natural way to thicken, firm, smooth and plump your skin 😊 It is safe in professional 🙌 hands and perfect to help treat acne scarring, enlarged pores and inflammation. You will normally have a 45 min appointment with our experienced Aesthetic Nurse and the cost is between$350-$500.

✨Stating the obvious here today! You probably know this by now-but if needed 👉a nudge-here it is!

☀️Photoaging: UV exposure breaks down the skin's collagen and elastin fibers, causing up to 80% to 90% of visible skin aging like wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging.

☀️Pigmentation: Cumulative UV radiation triggers excess melanin production, leading to freckles, sunspots, and uneven skin tone.

☀️Tans and Damage: A suntan is not a sign of health; it is a clear physical defense response proving your skin's DNA has already suffered injury

✅Did you know that >1,400 cases of Melanoma in WA are diagnosed every year. It ranks as the 3rd most common cancer in this state.

✅Interestingly data from the Australian Cancer Atlas shows that certain 🔥hotspots such as Cottesloe, City Beach, and Claremont report melanoma incidence rates significantly higher than the national average, largely due to outdoor lifestyles, and cumulative 🌞sun exposure!!

✅2 in 3 Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the age of 70.

✅Overexposure to UV ☢️radiation causes roughly 95% of melanomas and 99% of non-melanoma skin cancers in the country.

Protect your skin. Don’t ignore a changing spot. Get a check up.

✨Darker skin types can get skin cancer too-it all depends on UV exposure. Often skin cancer in skin of colour can present later and be more aggressive. So if you are worried about a spot-it only takes 15min. Come see us. We know all about skin of colour, the pigment issues and higher scarring potential that you often see in this skin type. And remember, you are not immune to UV related sun damage or ageing either. Australian UV is merciless!
