Your Secret to Glowing Skin for the Holidays

Ageing skin is a common concern for both men and women, which manifests as pigmentation, wrinkles, broken capillaries, and sagging skin. These problems may seem to appear out of nowhere, but they are simply results from the progressive changes that take place deeper inside the skin, specifically in the basement membrane.

BASEMENT MEMBRANE:
A NEW TARGET FOR HEALTHY SKIN

The basement membrane is a single sheet-like layer made of proteins which sits between the epidermis (the surface layer of the skin) and the dermis (the inner layer of the skin).

The epidermis consists of protective surface cells while the dermis contains networks of collagen fibres, blood vessels and lymph ducts. The basement membrane then represents the transition between these two layers and is responsible for effective communication between layers and transfer of repair substances when the epidermis or dermis is damaged.

The basement membrane can be damaged by ageing, smoking and UV light. Young, healthy skin is able to resist damage to the basement membrane by quickly repairing areas of rupture. This can be seen in certain areas where multiple basement membrane layers can be found. Unfortunately, this ability for self-repair diminishes significantly with age, resulting in physical manifestation we typically associate with ageing: loose skin, brown spots, and wrinkles.

SYLFIRM : A REVOLUTIONARY TREATMENT FOR REDNESS, PIGMENTATION, & WRINKLES

If you want to achieve healthy and youthful skin, one of my favourite treatments is Sylfirm. Developed in Silicon Valley, Sylfirm is the world’s first SR3 technology which uses ultrafine microneedles to transmit targeted pulsed radiofrequency energy to the basement membrane and dermis layers.

It particularly targets unhealthy blood vessels responsible for rosacea (redness) and melasma (pigmentation) or even acne marks and scars. Sylfirm’s ability to bypass the dermis layer makes it a highly safe and effective anti-ageing treatment for all skin types.

What I really like about Sylfirm, however, is its ability to promote overall skin health. By targeting the basement membrane, Sylfirm effectively diminishes the appearance of fine lines, dull skin, and even big pores. I highly recommend my patients to incorporate Sylfirm as part of their skincare regimen.
