With summer coming and consumers turning their attention to products and treatments that will ensure they look their best as we head into the silly season, read on for some new releases from the skincare and device categories, as well as an exciting new move for Blush Skin Clinic.

The PRO by Déesse PRO LED Mask

Available for the first time in New Zealand via Kiara Cosmetics and the original, iconic hard shell format LED light therapy device, PRO by Déesse PRO LED Mask harnesses the power of no less than four clinically proven wavelengths across six treatment modes to deliver transformative results for all skin types and tones.

Non-invasive, safe and pain-free, the powerful treatment modes stimulate various natural biological processes within the skin to restore and maintain optimum skin function and health. The ultimate bio-hacking beauty device to improve all skin concerns on a visible, tangible and cellular level, it’s a favourite with skin health professionals and A-listers alike. Modes to call on include:
Mode 1: ‘Rejuvenating’ (Red Light 630nm): helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, boosts collagen and improves elasticity in the skin.
Mode 5: ‘Calming’ (Blue Light 415nm & Green Light 520nm): calms the skin and targets inflammation.
Mode 6: ‘Rejuvenating Express’ (Red Light 630nm): an intensified skin rejuvenation treatment.

New from Medik8: Advanced Pro-Collagen+Peptide Cream

Medik8’s most advanced collagen solution yet, fans of the brand will love the new Advanced Pro-Collagen+Peptide Cream, which aims to increase collagen production by 45 percent for clinically proven results in just 7 days.

Powered by Growth Factor MiniProtein™ , NAD+ Longevity Booster and Anti-A.G.E. Peptide, this intelligent fusion of longevity science and advanced actives helps preserve your skin’s strength, structure and long-term resilience, and the clinical studies certainly speak for themselves.

Blush Skin Clinic expands its reach to Auckland

Specialising in Laser Genesis, DMK enzyme therapy and depigmentation treatments, Blush Skin Clinic is set to open its third clinic in the upmarket Auckland suburb of Newmarket clinic on October 9.

To celebrate, the team have hosted media visits before opening, which will be followed by an exclusive launch party from 5pm on October 9, with live demonstrations, spot prizes and goodie bags
