The SKINDEX

Desquamation is the natural process your skin uses to shed old, dead cells from the outermost layer (the stratum corneum) to make space for newer, healthier cells underneath.

Microneedling uses fine needles to create tiny micro-channels in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother skin.

Short for adenosine triphosphate, ATP is a molecule found in all living cells that stores and transports energy.

Skin metabolism is the engine room of your skin, powering processes like skin repair, hydration, and barrier maintenance.

Pigmentation refers to the colour of your skin, determined by the production of a pigment called melanin, which is made by specialised cells called melanocytes.

UV (Ultraviolet) damage happens when ultraviolet radiation from the sun or tanning beds penetrates the skin and disrupts the DNA inside your cells.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation is a technology that uses low-level electrical currents to gently activate your facial muscles.

The word Non-Comedogenic comes from comedo, which refers to a clogged hair follicle, AKA a blackhead or whitehead.

Photobiomodulation is just the fancy name for light doing its magic, helping your skin glow smarter, not harder.

Think of it as an invisible shield made up of skin cells, lipids, and natural moisturising factors that work together to keep the good stuff in and the bad stuff out.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act like tiny messengers in your skin. Their job is to signal.

Fascia is a thin but incredibly important layer of connective tissue that sits just beneath the skin and wraps around your muscles, nerves, and organs.

The wound healing cascade refers to the skin’s natural, multi-phase repair process that is activated in response to injury.

The acid mantle is a thin, slightly acidic film that sits on the surface of your skin and it plays a critical role in maintaining skin health.

The collagen continuum describes the ongoing process of collagen renewal that takes place long after a skin treatment has ended.

Chromophores are naturally occurring molecules within your skin that absorb specific wavelengths of light and convert that light into biological signals your cells can use.
