Did you know that up to 80% of visible ageing is caused by exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays? Not by ageing itself. Not by stress, lack of sleep, or one too many glasses of wine on more weekdays than we’d like to admit. Those fine lines and age spots? They’re likely damage from the sun.

Your first line of defence against ageing skin is to wear sunscreen whenever you are outside. 95% of the rays that hit the Earth’s surface are UVA. These rays are damaging to the skin even on cloudy days or through glass so it’s essential to remember to apply sunscreen regularly and in the correct amounts. Limit sun exposure especially between 10am and 2pm when the rays are generally at their strongest.

If you have sun damage and need a professional treatment solution to minimise ageing and help with rejuvenation, we have some great options for you at Above & Beyond Therapy.

As we head into winter it is the ideal time to begin a new programme of anti-ageing or sun damage repair to give you a fresh complexion going into Spring.

A highly recommended Skin Consultation or Murad Facial can be booked to identify areas of concern, a tailored plan can then be discussed to enable you to get the best treatments to suit your needs, lifestyle and budget.

Murad is a fabulous brand of cosmeceutical products suitable for all skin types and concerns and includes a range called Environmental Shield which is perfect for hyperpigmentation, helping reduce those age spots and really brighten the skin.

We also provide a range of Chemical Peels, Microneedling, Mesotherapy, Pixel Laser Resurfacing, Plasma, Anti-wrinkle Injections, Dermal Fillers and Skin Boosters.

You can book a skin consultation for just £25 and we will refund this off a package of treatments when booked and paid for (subject to terms and conditions).

Or, jump right in and book a Murad Facial for £65 and we will refund £25 off a selection of Murad products to take home.

Winter is also the perfect time to deal with those pesky skin tags, thread veins, blood spots, milia, seborrhoeic warts, verruca’s and other unsightly blemishes that can be removed quickly in our clinic using Advanced Electrolysis. Allowing plenty of time to heal before the warm weather arrives and it’s holiday time again.
