for ultimate skin health

Corneotherapy is a science of working with the skin, not against it. It's a methodology that works with the preservation, repair and integrity of the epidermis at all times.

Corneotherapy approaches skin care differently. Before any treatment or products are prescribed, a thorough examination of the condition of the bi-layers of the skin is undertaken. It is important during this process not to upset the acid mantle, but rather give it what it needs to maintain harmony. Then, and only then, can you give it the ‘super food’ via advanced pure products, that it needs.

So, preventative corneotherapy is aimed at supporting the maintenance of healthy skin and the prevention of skin conditions and disease.

Using the principles of corneotherapy it is possible to achieve skin correction and effectively treat many skin disorders in skin treatment clinics before being earmarked for dermatology. That is, when using corneo-therapeutic product ranges such as dermaviduals, we can often effectively treat clients in clinic, without the need to refer them to dermatologists or doctors.

One of the major advantages of corneotherapy is that it is largely free from side effects in comparison with a treatment using topical pharmaceuticals. Preventatively applied, corneotherapy may extend the intervals between attacks and reduce or even avoid the need to apply conventional dermatics.

It's not so much about the ingredients we need, it's more about the ingredients we don't!

Dermaviduals is free from:

• Preservatives

• Perfumes

• Mineral Oils

• Emulsifiers

• Amines

These ingredients are recognised as inferior to the skin and may stimulate an immune response. Our immune system declines with age, meaning you may get away with using such products through the years, however overtime, the skin breaks down, becomes hypersensitive and reacts. This may lead to issues such as diffused redness, sensitivity, pre-mature ageing, acne, dryness, flaking and so on…

DERMA MEMBRANE STRUCTURE (DMS) is the principle behind Dermaviduals. DMS is used as a preventative treatment that aims to maintain the skin barrier in its natural and intact condition as best possible allowing the skin to perform its primary function, and that is to protect.

Dermaviduals contain a lipid composition (DMS) that resembles/mimics the membrane structure of our skins natural chemistry and so corresponds to the principles of Corneotherapy.

As your Corneotherapist, my main intention is to find the cause of your skin concerns and why the skin is impaired to be reacting in such a way. This could be due to external or psychological stresses, chemical components (peeling agents/acids), mechanical (microdermabrasion, over exfoliating and/or resurfacing) or physical (what you're applying to your skin and how). Usually, it tends to be a combination of these factors. Alternatively, you may be very happy with your skin, in which case I can assist you to maintain the health of your skin long term.
