We at Dermatology Matters promote healthy skin through our skincare range which is tailored to each individual’s needs and requirements before we introduce aesthetic treatments. Optimal skin care requires a balance between cleansing and exfoliation, prevention of oxidative damage, hydration and correction of existing and protection from further UV and environmental damage.

By combining the best available skin care products and tailoring them to individuals skin type and needs we can achieve real and visible results

Fundamentals of good skin care
Identify your skin type – sensitive, oily, reactive, aged red, pigment disturbance, dehydrated
Identify what needs to be corrected
Prevent ongoing damage
protect from UV light and environmental damage

Cleansing

Cleans and freshens skin. Sensitive and reactive skin types are easily irritated whereas aged and oilyskin usually requires a harsher more abrasive cleanser. We supply muslin clothes with all our cleansers on request.

Prevention

Sun light and UV exposure, smoke and air pollution cause photoaging, skin discolouration and wrinkles. A comprehensive prevention program can help protect against the visible signs of environmental and photo-aging.

Correction

Age related skin changes, intensified by sun exposure, smoking and environmental damage results in collagen breakdown, slower cell turnover and loss of moisture. Corrective products aim to help correct the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity and discolouration.

Protection

broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection protect against skin aging and the development of skin cancers. Sun blocks may be tailored to skin type, underlying skin conditions and skin and eye sensitivity. We offer a wide variety of cosmetically elegant sunscreens.

Q-Strixin Micro-Active Emulsion

is an anti-aging formulation that restores, rejuvenates and revitalizes photo-aged skin. The superior benefits and results obtained with Q-Strixin Micro-Active Emulsion are due to its highly specialized ingredients.
Pentapeptide-3 and Palmitoyl Oligopeptide are known to stimulate cell growth, reduce the depth of wrinkles and increase skin thickness.
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4. Stimulates the synthesis of the key constituents of the skin matrix: collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans. Clinical studies have shown a dramatic improvement in skin smoothness and decreased wrinkle depth similar to Retinol, but without th negative side effects.
Palmitoyl Oligopeptide is a synthetic protein that was the result of an effort to create a substance that would act like retinoic acid without the irritation.
Siegesbeckia Orientalis Extract  shown to be beneficial in restructuring the collagen matrix, aiding in wound healing and tissue regeneration and  helps to normalize the appearance of scars and stretch marks while restoring elasticity to the skin

Emblica has powerful antioxidant properties and in addition acts as a skin lightener. Emblica is well tolerated without any known negative side effects. 

Directions for Facial Rejuvenation: For use on the face to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Apply a small amount of Q-Strixin Micro-Active Emulsion to the whole face and gently massage into the skin using circular motions until it is fully absorbed. Apply prior to makeup, moisturizer or sunscreen. For continued maintenance use once daily after you achieve desired results.

What About Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks (Striae) develop when the skin is excessively pulled, damaging the collagen fibers and proteins within the deepest layers of the skin called the dermis. This is most often due to excessive weight gain, weight loss or around puberty. These resulting stretch marks become thick, visible, unsightly scars.
Q-Srixin Micro-Active Emulsion used twice daily for several weeks should make the stretch marks appear smoother and much less visible.

Directions for improving the appearance of stretch marks:
Cleanse and dry the area to be treated. Apply Q-Strixin Micro-Active Emulsion in the morning and evening before bedtime. Massage cream into the skin with circular motions until it is fully absorbed.
