mesoéclat® Bespoke Treatments South Africa

Dr Nerina Wilkinson has a set standard of individualised care and expertise which is reflected by the entire team. Our team of experts has a wealth of knowledge and continuously delivers outstanding results by using state-of-the-art medical devices and products, sparing no expense to create a safe and luxurious environment where all your skincare concerns can be addressed. Each Mesoéclat® treatment is therefore completely bespoke and formulated around each individual’s concern and desired results, and can include any of the below modalities to help achieve optimal results. 

Lumecca IPL: LUMECCA™ IPL is specifically designed for those wanting a more even complexion with an instantly bright and healthy glow. IPL is a wide spectrum light emitted by a xenon flash tube producing calibrated pulsed light. The energy is absorbed by substances called chromophores (targets), contained in the skin. These chromophores are then destroyed creating a healing response that can be seen as improved collagen and elastin, lightening of pigmented lesions, and reduction of skin redness and vascular lesions.

Medical Skin Needling: Using a sterile active ingredient, Superficial needling introduces a series of fine, sharp needles into the skin, in the form of a pen. Tiny areas of superficial trauma are created in the skin for deeper product induction. This controlled trauma encourages the body to produce new collagen and elastin to repair itself. The skin becomes thicker, plumper, and more youthful.

Forma Radiofrequency: Forma Radiofrequency sends radio-frequency energy to multiple layers of the skin simultaneously, which stimulates the formation of new collagen and improves skin elasticity

We are passionate about educating our clients on safe, results-driven treatments and we, therefore, design each client’s Skincare Treatment Plan individually to deliver optimal results. To achieve this, we start with a computerised VISIA Skin Analysis that objectively measures and maps your skin followed by a detailed consultation with your Skincare Specialist during which specific concerns are highlighted and discussed.

While treatments are customised to individual skin concerns, the most popular indication for the Mesoéclat® Bespoke treatment is ageing as it has been proven to be very effective at:

• Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
• Increasing cell turnover
• Resurfacing of the skin to reveal a healthy and smooth complexion
• Reducing pigmentation & sun damage
• Improving skin dullness
• Improving collagen production
• Improving the appearance of scarring

As with any medical skincare treatment, it is best to discuss your specific medical history and needs with your Skincare Specialist. Book an appointment to consult with one of our skincare team.

Should this be your first treatment at the Skin Clinic, you will be required to complete a short medical questionnaire to help guide your Skincare Specialist in selecting the most suitable protocol for you. Your Skincare Specialist will require access to your face, neck, and shoulders, therefore requiring you to get changed into a robe prior to the treatment.

The Mesoéclat® Bespoke treatment will include:

• Skin surface prep (Cleanse)
• Prescribed Chemical Peel application
• Medical Skin Needling, Lumecca IPL or Forma Radiofrequency
• Mask (LED Light Therapy) optional

Redness and a sunburned sensation can be expected for 24 hours post-treatment. Tightness of the skin can also be experienced due to possible swelling. Slight peeling, dryness, and skin sensitivity have been reported in the few days following the treatment. You will however receive post-treatment home care and instructions on how to apply these specific products in the days following your treatment.

Your Skincare Specialist will advise on a suitable skincare regime to support results (treatment includes a bespoke aftercare pack consisting of relevant product mini’s to aid the recovery of your skin post-treatment)

• An SPF 50 should be applied twice daily
• Avoid facial waxing for 14 days post-treatment
• Limit sun exposure for 2-5 days post-treatment
• Do not consume alcohol in the seven days following your treatment. Alcohol is a diuretic, meaning it has dehydrating properties. Unfortunately, being dehydrated will slow your skin’s healing process drastically. Furthermore, a side effect of consuming diuretics, like alcohol, is essential micronutrients are flushed out of your body.
• Do your best to avoid sweating during the first three days following your treatment session. Avoid steaming-hot showers or baths, jacuzzies, saunas and steam rooms. Do not engage in strenuous exercises, such as heavy weightlifting, swimming, intense spinning, or indoor rowing.
• Flaking skin should not be rubbed, picked, or scratched
• It is advised to avoid vigorous exercise for 2 days post-treatment
• It is recommended to avoid anti-inflammatories and icing the area as the inflammation encourages the release of growth factors within the skin
• We advise against any Aesthetic procedures (including Botulinum Toxin, Facial Fillers, and Threads) 2 weeks prior to and 2 weeks after any minimally invasive skin care treatment
