Skin Booster Injections

Skin booster injections are a way of rejuvenating the skin by enhancing the hydration levels deep inside the skin tissues and increasing its elasticity, firmness and smoothness.

Skin Booster Injections can be used for:

• All skin types
• Both men and women
• All areas of the skin which include your face, neck, décolletage, lips, backs of your hands, in the knees, elbows and more
• People who want to improve skin texture

The skin booster injection is giving a series of tiny injections of hyaluronic acid into the skin. Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the body and its function is to maintain the hydration levels in the skin. As we age, we lose hyaluronic acid in our skin. Skin booster restores the skin’s firmness, natural hydration and radiance. Most people found their skin is improved within one treatment.

Before the treatment start, therapist will apply numb cream and massage on the area you wish to be injected. Meridian Clinic philosophy is ‘NO PAIN, NO BRUISE, WOW’.

Are skin boosters safe?

Yes. The long term safety of hyaluronic acid has been proven by clinical trial.

How long does it takes?

The treatment normally takes around 30 minutes but you will need to allow one hour for numbing session.

Results and Aftercare

While you may see results after just one treatment, for optimal results you will probably need a course of 3 treatment sessions which you can do it 2-4 weeks apart. Our body will gradually break down the hyaluronic acid over the time. In order to maintain flawless and youth skin, it is recommended to have further treatments every 9 to 11 months. After care creams and some medicine will be provided to use for the week after your treatment.

What Causes Cracked Heels

What are Cracked Heels?

Cracked heels are caused by cracking and splitting of the skin. It is also a sign of lack of attention to foot care. When the skin around the heels becomes thickened and dry, it loses the suppleness and elasticity. Sometime, it can split under simple pressures like walking. The daily activities such as walking and standing for long hours may lead to unsightly, painful and even bleeding cracked heels.

Causes of Cracked Heels

•     Naturally dry and thick skin around the heel is highly likely to crack due to excessive feet activity.

•       Prolonged standing at work or home.

•     Overweight may increase the pressure on the normal fat pad under the heel.

•    Back-open shoes affect the fat under the heel to expand sideways and increase the possibility to get cracked heels.

•    Skin diseases or skin disorder such as Athlete’s foot, Eczema and Diabetes may cause cracked heels.

•      Excessive exposure to the water can strip the natural oils and leave skin dry and rough.

•       Circulation problems.

•       Deficiency of vitamins, minerals, zinc and malnutrition.

•       Unhygienic circumstances or conditions.

Method 1:

Soak the feet in lemon juice for about 10 minutes. Follow this therapy on a weekly basis until one finds a change. Lemon juice is a very mild natural acid and helps to dissolve dead and dry skin so that it can be easily removed. It is best to soak your feet in a lemon juice solution and then lightly scrub it with soft foot brush to gently exfoliate the top layers of dead skin that cause dry cracked heels.

Method 2:

Combine one teaspoon of Vaseline and juice from one whole lemon. Wash your feet and pat them dry before applying. Apply to the dry areas and heels of your feet until you’ve used the entire batch. You should do this just before bed and wear wool socks to lock in the moisture.

色斑是怎样形成的？

为什么人会长色斑？

色斑是由于皮肤黑色素的增加而形成的一种常见面部呈褐色或黑色素沉淀，损容性的皮肤疾病，通常斑会长在脸颊和前额部位，日晒后斑会更严重。女性长斑的机率一般比男性高。

很多人都说要找有效祛斑的方法，但色斑是怎样形成的，很多人都不知道。这也是为什么一直找不到对症下药的方法。

色斑是怎样形成的？

荷尔蒙分泌失调

避孕药里含有的女性荷尔蒙雌激素会刺激黑色素细胞分泌来形成不均匀的斑点。斑虽然在服药中断后停止生长但还是会在皮肤上停留一段蛮长的时间。怀孕中的女性因荷尔蒙雌激素增加而从怀孕第四到第五个月会比较容易长斑，这时候出现的斑在产后大部分会消失。可是，新陈代谢不正常以及皮肤在紫外线照射下或精神上受到压力都会使斑加深。有些新长的斑在产后也未必会消失，所以平常要更加注意。

新陈代谢

新陈代谢不正常或卵巢功能减退的时侯斑也会出现。因新陈代谢不顺畅或内分泌失调身体处于敏感状态，这会使色素问题更严重而且便秘会形成斑。这其实就是内分泌失调导致过敏体质而形成的。

压力太大

当一个人感到压力时就会分泌肾上腺素，这个原理是为了对付压力而做准备。可是一个人长期受到压力，人体新陈代谢的平衡就会遭到破坏，皮肤所需的营养供应趋于缓慢，色素母细胞就会变得活跃。

不良生活习惯

吸烟成瘾会引起色素发黄，身体里色素分布不均匀，色素分泌紊乱而形成了色斑。除此之外，从来不注重防晒，不做防晒措施会让阳光的照射产生黑色素造成黄褐斑。生活不规律或不稳定导致血液循环不顺畅，毛血管阻塞，血液淤积，色素沉淀而出现色斑。夜生活频繁又不积极休息会导致生理现象昼夜颠倒，出现色素分泌紊乱，色素凝滞的色斑人群。
