Meet the team: Marinda
Following the launch of our brand-new clinic in Richmond, we’re introducing you to our team of experts. Our therapist Marinda tells us all about her favourite treatments and what her special skincare regime consists of.
What treatments have you tried and tested and what was your favourite?
I have tried Encurve which helps to break down body fat, ClearSkin; an acne laser treatment for skin breakouts and post inflammatory acne scarring and Radiofrequency for the body, which helps with cellulite and skin tightening.
My favourite treatments has to be Encurve and Radiofrequency. Combining these two treatments together works wonders. I have tried it on my tummy and after just one session I could already feel the difference, my skin felt tighter and smoother and after a week I noticed my tummy was slightly flatter, I felt wonderful! I would recommend Encurve to anyone who wants to reduce areas with stubborn fat and Radiofrequency to help tighten loose skin. These treatments are very relaxing, and I did not experience any discomfort or pain.
Do you have a beauty hack or a beauty tip you stand by?
Don’t use soap to wash your face! The skin is acidic, while soap is alkaline based. When using normal soap, you destroy your natural acidic mantle of the skin that could potentially worsen your skin condition.
I always believe in using a good cosmeceutical product that can be used to target your skin’s specific needs. Retinols, antioxidants and peptides are the skin’s main ingredients we need to replace on a daily basis.
Tell us what your skincare regime consists of
