With ageing, the appearance of your skin can start to make you look tired and more stressed than you feel. The exposed skin on the face, chest and hands in particular suffers the damaging effects of sun exposure and environmental pollutants which cause the progressive visible signs of ageing that eventually become impossible to disguise.

Medical strength skin care is not a "quick fix" for many years of environmental damage. It can take time to speed up the skin regeneration process by systematically exfoliating, feeding and stimulating new skin from the deep layers. Medical strength skin care products can, however, markedly improve the skin by nourishing and replenishing the skin’s health, overall tone and texture.

Any good skin care regimen must incorporate sun protection. It is important to wear sunscreen every day. Naturally, it is also best to avoid smoking if you want to improve your skin’s health.

A combination of enzymes, growth factors, anti-oxidants and fruit acids exfoliate, nourish and stimulate your skin – the 3 key steps in professional skin care to create change in your skin at a cellular level.

Our home maintenance products from all ranges are suitable for all skin types and conditions, from the most sensitive to oily, and will help to maximise, enhance and maintain your Liberty Belle clinic treatment results.

They will select medical strength products for you from 5 ranges - Obagi®, Aspect Dr™, Results Rx, CosMedix, and SkinMedica® - to give you a personalised product prescription that is most appropriate for your skin type and condition.

Your Options

Results RX from the founders of CosMedix is a prescribed doctor only range.

The scientific formulation behind CosMedix and Results Rx is designed to minimise skin irritation. Results Rx is formulated with antioxidants and vitamins including the skin changing vitamin-A and vitamin-C. These products have no artificial colours, fragrances or artificial preservatives.

Skin cell turnover slows with age resulting in the outer surface becoming dehydrated, crepey or thickened in appearance. As skin generates from the deep layers and moves to the outside, this process needs to be sped up, as it was in youth, thus shedding the outer dehydrated layer more rapidly.

Results Rx products are able to penetrate down into the deeper layers of the dermis generating layers to stimulate and increase skin cellular regeneration, which in turn rapidly replaces the older surface skin cells. Healthy fresh new skin is the result. Skin appears plumped, hydrated, and refined; the look of fine lines is visibly reduced.

Results Rx offers chemical skin peels which are less traumatic and very effective, thus resulting in quicker healing after your recommended peel procedure. Therefore, when treating problems like acne, rosacea and pigmentation, Results Rx will achieve results without harmful side effects and with minimal downtime.

Results Rx is skincare that needs to be specifically prescribed for your skin condition. The highly trained clinical specialists at Liberty Belle will design a programme for you.

Advanced Skin Technology, the Australian distributors of CosMedix and Results Rx, launched their own medical strength range Aspect Dr at the beginning of 2009. This Australian made and owned product offers you the opportunity to purchase an affordable, medical strength skincare which will create change in your skin, not only on an epidermal level, but more importantly, deeper in the dermis as well. Aspect Dr was formulated especially for the medical environment and excels in the management of prematurely aged skin, pigmentation, acne and temperamental or delicate skins.

This range contains the most advanced, clinically proven specialty actives sourced from the world’s most respected pharmaceutical and bio-technology companies. Even the fragrance ingredients are pure essential oils chosen specifically for their beneficial effects.

Aspect Dr is:

1. Free of propylene glycol
2. Free of mineral oil and petrolatum
3. Free of parabens
4. Free of artificial fragrances
5. Free of animal derived ingredients
6. Free of SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) and other harsh surfactants
7. Never tested on animals – only people

In-clinic performance evaluation has been conducted for each and every formula to ensure effectiveness. And because Aspect Dr is owned and made in Australia, formulations can be adapted quickly to take advantage of the latest developments in scientific ingredients.

A prime example of this is ChroNoline™ found in Aspect Dr’s Resveratrol Moisturising Cream. ChroNoline is an anti-oxidant found in the skin of red grapes and is scientifically proven to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles after only 28 days. ChroNoline also has collagen building properties which help to smooth the skin's surface.

Another ingredient is Lana Blue – a unique variety of blue green algae that mimics all the positive effects of retinol (vitamin A), which tricks the skin into working like younger, more efficient skin. It achieves this all without the typical downsides such as dryness and irritation. Lana Blue is found in Aspect Dr’s Deep Facial Cleanser and ExFol A Plus.

Obagi, the leading provider of proprietary topical aesthetic and medical strength skin care products in the USA is now available at Liberty Belle Skin Centre.

Why Obagi?

Obagi skin care products are specifically developed for the dermatology, plastic surgery, and related aesthetic markets to enhance and maintain the results of surgical and non-surgical procedures.

The Obagi skin care benefits

Obagi uses Penetrating Therapeutics™ technology in its skin care products to facilitate the absorption of the active ingredients into the skin to treat common and visible skin conditions in adults such as photo damage, hyperpigmentation, senile lentigines, acne vulgaris, sun damage and rosacea.

SkinMedica, through meticulous research, has been able to create a treatment that provides the skin with what it naturally uses to fight aging: growth factors. Growth factors are proteins that regulate cellular growth and skin cell turnover. Multiple Growth factors are present in the skin and work to maintain a healthy skin structure. Through normal ageing, their production and levels in the body decrease, resulting in typical signs of ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles. Topical Growth factors have proven to play a beneficial role in skin repair and rejuvenation.

Mineral Makeup

The most beautiful cosmetic you can wear is healthy skin. That's why everything we offer is a true extension of skin care.

Liberty Belle proudly offers the Jane Iredale Makeup line to our customers – a mineral makeup that is gentle on your skin and effective in hiding skin discolorations.

The Jane Iredale mineral makeup includes micronized mineral base compounds which will disguise almost any skin discoloration and act as 4 products in 1: foundation, powder, concealer and sunscreen. All of these products have undergone rigorous sensitivity testing in the USA at an FDA-approved laboratory with zero sensitivity recorded.

The powders work well as a natural-looking beauty makeup and/or a camouflage after procedures because the concentrated pigment not only masks colour, but interacts with light to create a soft-focus effect that creates an illusion of perfection. A small amount of the minerals will cover most types of redness including acne, rosacea and erythema (redness).

There is an extensive choice of beautiful colours which includes lip colour, eye shadow, gold shimmer, as well as foundations.

Our specially-trained Liberty Belle team can help you select from this range to achieve a beautiful look.

FAQ

Here are some common questions our patients ask during their consultation.

What are the advantages of medical strength skin care?

In order to repair damaged skin cells and reduce signs of aged skin, changes must take place at a cellular level. medical strength skin care causes changes in the skin cells to help rejuvenate and improve the condition of skin. Products that are not medical strength are more limited in how effective they are in creating changes, and therefore, prove to be less effective in achieving genuine results.

How do I choose the right products for me?

Your clinician will assess your skin and listen to your concerns in order to devise a treatment plan that will best suit your needs. It is vital that you get expert advice when selecting active skin care products to ensure that you get value for your money and visual results.

When can I expect to see results?

When beginning to use medical strength skin care, results can be seen as early as 2 weeks; however, long term use is necessary to help reverse and rejuvenate skin that has had years of abuse. Combining medical strength skin care with injectable treatments and laser therapies can give you a refreshed and healthier appearance quickly.
