Rise of the SUPER FACIALS

Actress Sadie Frost loves her anti-ageing Environ facials, "I always come out looking radiant and feeling totally relaxed. Everyone is commenting on how great my skin looks - I am 100% happy"

How Collagen Stimulation Therapy™ works

During CST, a painless revolutionary procedure, your medical skincare professional will apply a topical anaesthetic and will use a small instrument containing tiny needles to create thousands of microscopic channels in the lower levels of your skin. This causes microscopic trauma to the skin. The body responds to this the same way it would to an injury and starts to repair the skin, resulting in increased collagen and elastin production. Applying Environ creams containing vitamins A and C before and after treatment greatly enhances the results, because Collagen Stimulation Therapy™ sets up growth ‘factories’ in your skin. The vitamins can be pictured as the workers in these factories and they will continue to benefit your skin
for months after the treatment. Between one and six treatments are required to
achieve maximum results. A full consultation and preparation with topical
vitamin A is required prior to your first treatment.
