EF Medispa has been making the headlines of late even bagging a spot on GMTV thanks to the huge range of un-spa-like treatments the slick boutique offers. From dentistry to chemical peels and Vaser-Lipo this is a spa which pushes the boundaries between pampering and permanent transformation. A complete transformation is what we were after but in the form of clear, acne-free skin rather than the more intrusive cosmetic work the spa is quickly becoming famous for.
The treatments
With adult acne on the rise the spa has tapped into this fast-growing problem affecting both men and women offering a range of solutions that will banish even the most stubborn blemishes. From peels and laser treatments to their new SOS spot clinic, perfect before a big event, never before has so much attention and research been invested into achieving clear, beautiful skin.
After an initial consultation with an assigned dermatologist, your skin will be given a complete overhaul with a range of supplements, powders and an acne management kit from DermaQuest, a skincare range from LA. The kit is a miracle in itself, containing a series of cleansers and serums to be used morning and night all of which contain a cocktail of acne fighting ingredients such as salicylic acid and glycolic acid as well as several calming ingredients such as plant extracts and copper to calm skin and reduce redness, a symptom often associated with acne and the treatments used to combat it.
The skin care regime is backed up with herbal food supplements and powders, one which is high in fibre to improve digestion and restore your colon and the other containing a dazzling number of powdered vegetables and health supplements. The powders and supplements work to improve your digestion and gut which will, in turn help to eliminate harmful toxins and improve the overall condition of skin. A healthy gut generally means clear, bright, healthy looking skin and anyone who has ever visited a health spa or dedicated themselves to a detox for a fortnight will pay testament to this.
After a month on the new skin and diet regime, keeping hair tied back from the face, drying skin with tissues instead of a towel - to avoid the spread of bacteria - and swapping any oil-based make-up for minerals to help the skin breathe, it's time to rid the skin of any final stubborn spots and reduce scarring left by years of adult acne.
Because no one person's skin is the same, experts at EF Medispa will tailor-make a facial to suit your needs. The Deep Cleansing Facial is particularly effective at giving dull, oily, stagnated skin a new lease of life using exfoliation, extractions and masks to clean blocked pores and stop spots before they have a chance to break out. Be warned though, this isn't a facial for those looking to lay back and relax for an hour. The extractions can be uncomfortable and, depending on how sensitive your skin is, the mask can tingle as it gets to work smoothing out your skin's texture.
The results
With the experts help at Medispa, their specialist knowledge and incredible range of treatments as well as plenty of dedication on your part, you will be left with skin looking healthier than it ever has or least has since before puberty hit. This is definitely the spa of the future that offers real solutions that work instead of quick fixes which inevitably leave you back where you started within a week. Stick to the advice you're given and you'll see incredible results that will last and can be appreciated for a lifetime.
