Jessicat’s View on Skin Care and Anti-Ageing

The above picture is of me at 32 years of age.
I was using Botox at the time and beginning to experiment with the use of filler therapies such as Restalin to replace lost volume in my face. Although I was happy with the effects of Botox, I was not happy with the way the filler therapies made my face look. I felt it gave an unnatural fullness to my features and was taking away the contours that give my face its individual look. I was also using many products that beauticians told me I needed such as high potency vitamin C, products with Retin-A Tretinoin and other anti-ageing skincare that promised to give me firmer, smoother and clearer skin, but did not give me the effects I was hoping for.

The Answer To Thinning Skin

I am now 39 years of age and as you can see from the pictures above I have been able to greatly improve the look of my skin.
In the lead up to 40, my skin is continuing to improve as I perfect the areas that are still of concern to me. I am finding that good skin takes commitment and a little work, just like keeping the body in shape with a consistent routine of diet and exercise.

As we age the epidermis can thin, due to depleting levels of collagen, elastin, and blood vessel growth, causing it to wrinkle and fall. The key to a clearer complexion and a full and youthful look on the face, neck, and chest areas is gaining and maintaining thick collagen and elastin-rich skin as well as maintaining a strong, toned musculature on the face.

Targeting the problem of thinning skin is essential to gaining a truly youthful look and is done by improving the functionality of the skin cells and ensuring proper circulation. When functioning optimally, skin cells contain high levels of ATP which is the very energy currency within the cells. Ensuring cells receive vital nutrients and proper oxygenation is also essential and occurs only when blood vessel growth is high.

To thicken thinning skin and gain the firmer, smoother, softer appearance we are looking for, we need address cellular functionality (a big part of this is raising ATP production) to facilitate increased collagen, elastin, and blood vessel growth.

IN MY EXPERIENCE THIS IS NOT ACHIEVED WITH SKIN CARE PRODUCTS SUCH AS MOISTURISERS AND SERUMS.

So what are the cosmeceuticals and skin care products with active ingredients, and more importantly what can they do for the skin?

Some skin care products such as Retrieve, (containing tretinoin which is the acid form of Vitamin A) facilitate increased cellular turnover which works by regulating the growth and regeneration of the outer layer of the skin, but this will not thicken and lift sagging skin dramatically and will only mildly improve the appearance of the surface of the skin.
Topical skin creams containing endogenous (produced in the body) growth factors are used as cosmeceuticals. A cosmeceutical is a substance that exerts both cosmetic and therapeutic benefits.
Skin creams containing a physiologically balanced mixture of growth factors and other proteins are available and claim to reverse the signs and symptoms of:
-intrinsic skin ageing mediated by the process of natural ageing.
-extrinsic skin ageing mediated by environmental factors.

Although I wanted it to be true when I began using anti-ageing skincare, graduating onto more and more expensive medical-grade products, I discovered I was disappointed time and time again by the lack of effect they had on my skin.

The Jessicat Skin Care System:

Whilst my clients are having treatments that will dramatically change the look of there skin as well as define and lift the overall features of the face, I recommend using the above products to effectively clean, moisturise and protect their skin.

We have listed the products we recommend our clients use as part of a simple and effective skin care routine, inclusive of links for easy purchase online.

QV Facial Cleanser

Kmart Mini Facial Cleansing Brush

Hydrate Gel, comes in a 480ML bottle is rich in sault derived Hyaluronic Acid and is water soluble, so it is absorbed deeply into the skin. This is the only moisturising product that Jessicat uses on her skin other than Sunscreen due to it being high in sault derived Hyaluronic Acid and packed full of anti-oxidants. We provide Hydrate Gel to our clients for $80 per bottle.

An alternative to the cost-effective Hydrate Gel we onsell our clients is to purchase a Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum or gell directly from a compound chemist that will create the product. This will provide the skin with ultimate hydration possible and is far more effective than any Hyaluronic Acid rich serum created by traditional skin care companies. This is due to containing fewer additives and fillers in order to make the product last longer and be produced cheaply. On average this will cost you around $40-$50 per 50gm or $90-$100 per 100gm. We do onsell this product direct to Jessicat clients.

We recommend our clients use the cheap and effective $80 Hydrate Gel we onsell whilst keeping things cheap and easy in order to be able to have the correct number of treatments needed to gain dramatic and long-lasting results. It is then important to purchase the right at-home technologies in order to maintain and build on these results. Only then do we recommend our clients spend extra money on skin care products such as the Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum.

QV 50+ Sunscreen

Technologies are able to rebuild and rejuvenate the skin far more dramatically than any skin care product. Why? Because they are able to trigger a powerful healing response within the bodies cells that enables the skin to repair and rebuild, becoming thick, strong and naturally youthful looking once more.

Spend Your Money Systematically

Stop spending your money on skin care you wish would gain you a more youthful look and put it into treatments that actually physically trigger the body into repairing and rebuilding the musculature of the face and skin of the face and body.

When clients come to us, they want to reverse the signs of ageing they are seeing on their faces, necks, chests, hands and other parts of the body dramatically.
In order to provide treatments that achieve dramatic results by rebuilding, lifting and toning the musculature of the face and repair and rebuild thinning skin on the face and body, we must use processes that utilize many technologies that work in harmony with one another, targeting the problem of thinning skin and depleting musculature to reverse the physical effects of ageing.

WE DO NOT LOAD OUR CLIENTS UP WITH EXPENSIVE AND UNNECESSARY SKIN CARE, ENABLING THEM TO SPEND THEIR MONEY ON WHAT IS GOING TO GAIN THEM THE MOST DRAMATIC CHANGE!

Like all things in life, you get out of it what you put into it and need to make an investment of time and money in order to gain the results you are truly looking to achieve. Our treatment processes have been designed by Jessicat due to her own personal struggle with the signs of premature ageing, becoming evident on her skin at the age of only 28. After many years of spending money on different types of treatments and doing extensive research, she realized the most dramatic results were only achieved with technologies that worked in harmony with the bodies systems enabling it to rebuild and repair the damage that has developed over time due to sun damage, lifestyle habits and the aging process (which is individual to us all).

Seeing is Believing!

The pictures below are just some of the results our clients have gained from our unique treatment processes.

After my clients have achieved the treatment outcomes they want using the powerful effects of our unique treatment processes, I advise them to continue to keep their skin care routine cost effective. Treating the skin with daily Microcurrent therapies that improve the ATP levels within the skin by up to 500% is the very best way to keep the skin looking youthful and will build on the treatment outcomes my clients have already experienced.

We recommend using a bt-micro every time you wash and moisturise your skin for as little as 30-60 seconds in order to raise Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels by up to 500%. ATP is directly responsible for how much collagen and elastin production takes place in the skin. Read more about the at-home skin care routine we recommend.

Recently I had a top trainer and skin professional come to do some ongoing training with me. She began to reprimand me on why I did not advise my clients to use high strength vitamin C and Retna A products as part of their at-home skin care regime, telling me I was stopping them from gaining the best results from my services and that I was missing out on important income from onselling products. I asked her (respectfully) if she would advise me to to do this if my clients were using the bt-micro every day and LED Light Therapy a couple of times a week at home. She stopped, thought about what I had said, and then she replied; “ATP solves everything!”

What did she mean by this?

If you are using microcurrent therapy every day (taking between 30 and 60 seconds) and LED Light Rejuvenation Therapy 2-3 times a week you are literally doing all that can be done to improve the look and functionality of your skin cells. You will be boosting ATP by up to 500% every time you use the Microcurrent Therapy which boosts collagen and elastin levels hugely, and regular LED Light Rejuvenation repairs and rebuilds the skin on a level that no skin care product possibly can.

My trainer also went on to say she had never known clients to take these kinds of steps, my question to her was; Had she ever known a skin professional to advise anyone to do this?

The answer, of course, is most often no. Skincare professionals want to make around 30% out of the skincare they load clients up with and have no real interest in them using home technologies that will continue to build on their treatment results and enable them to have a minimal amount of maintenance treatments.

We refuse to make 30% of our overall profits from onselling expensive and unnecessary skin care!

The bt-micro device facilitates exfoliation that penetrates deeply into the skin, actually reaching in between the skin cells and pulling up impurities that can clog the skin, causing congestion, acne, and blackheads. This should be done once or twice weekly.
When the Hydrate Gel is used in conjunction with the bt-micro it is pushed very deeply into the epidermis, enabling the Hyaluronic Acid within the Hydrate product to penetrate the skin cells more effectively. Every time the device is used on the Serum setting it will lift and tone the skin visually and continue to keep ATP levels high, providing, in my opinion, the very best in at home anti-ageing skincare possible.

The difference between the bt-micro microcurrent device and the microcurrent device I use within my Delux Microcurrent Treatments is the bt-micro will only treat the skin of the face and not re-educate the musculature of the face and neck.

The team at Jessicats Medi-Spa are able to provide the bt-micro and Hydrate Gel product, ensuring you get your one year warranty, and are taught to use the bt-micro device properly in order to gain optimal results 🙂

Performing your own at-home LED Light Treatments 2-3 Times a week is an important part of a comprehensive skin care routine, but beware; One LED light device is not the same as another. There are a lot of masks available on the internet and other LED light devices that are quite cheap and claim to give you amazing results. In my experience, you get what you pay for and if a LED Light device is under $300 you are most probably purchasing a very low-quality device that will gain you little result. I recommend purchasing the Quasar MD or the Quasar CLEAR RAYZ. These devices are the highest strength LED Light devices available and the team at Jessicat’s Medi-Spa are able to provide you with these devices for the lowest price possible.

Once you have achieved the treatment outcomes you are looking for and are set up with your at-home devices and following a regime of cheap and effective skincare, the rest is up to you!

You have heard the saying Healthy In, Healthy Out? It means that you must look after yourself, keeping your body healthy and strong, consuming foods that help your skin and body look its best and drinking 2-3 Litres of water every day.

Water, Fish Oil And The Power Of Eating Foods That Provide Anti-Ageing Benefits

Lifestyle factors such as smoking, drinking too much coffee, not enough water and having a poor diet greatly impact on the look of your skin.
Changing these habits is an inexpensive and very effective way to improve the look of your skin dramatically. Drinking 2-3 Litres of water ensures proper hydration to the skin and helps to improve cellar function.
I have included a link for you to follow that will show you just how powerful drinking enough water can be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD6dbwXdeh4
Fish oil is also a very powerful tool for keeping the skin looking its best. In a study published in “The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology” in 2008, omega-3 fatty acids were found to reduce symptoms of rosacea, those red blotchy patches on your skin and inflamed capillaries on your face. Taking fish oil capsules can benefit the look and health of your skin, especially if you have a skin condition like rosacea or eczema. Eating powerful anti-ageing foods such as avocado, blueberries, bananas, and cucumber provide powerful antioxidants that combat the free radicals that attack our body and skin cells through the exposure pollutants in our environment and the stresses of our fast-paced everyday lives. Smoothies are a great way to pack in larger quantities of these kinds of foods as well as creating dense nutrient rich salads. Try using baby spinach leaves instead of lettuce as well as including nuts and seeds in your salads and swap out red meat for a nice piece of salmon once or twice a week. The internet is a powerful tool for finding all the recipes and combinations of foods that will help you not only feed your body effectively but also your skin. Take the power into your hands and have some tastebud-tingling fun as you not only develop your culinary skill but strong healthy skin to boot!
