After illness whether it be serious or mild, skin can be left looking dull, flat and a bit lack lustre! 

This may be due to medication, the way your body is responding to fight the illness or the way you are mentally having to cope with the illness. All these things can take their toll on your skin. 

Depending on your skin type, there is a whole range of products and treatments here at Sarah Dale Aesthetics to restore your skin back to health and get that glow back. 

What products can I use on my skin? 

For helping to restore brightness to your skin I swear by Vitamin C for use during the day, it protects the skin from free radical damage which can break down DNA. It also stimulates synthesis of new collagen and elastin, minimises pigmentation marks as well as helping to protect the skin against premature ageing. 

Often people report their skin looking grey during or after a period of illness, Medik8 C-Tetra (Vitamin C) or for an extra boost C-Tetra +Intense are the products to reach for. 

If your skin develops intense dryness or even patches of dryness, then Medik8 Ultimate Recovery is the product to reach for. It has antimicrobial action and anti-inflammatory properties to reduce skin discomfort. It is anti-bruising and promotes cellular renewal. 

If your skin is just lacking in hydration but not overly dry, then Medik8 Hydr8 B5 is the product for your skin. It is pure Hyaluronic Acid, holding 1000x its weight in water, it is the ultimate skin drink. 

Are there any treatments that are suitable?

Depending of the type of illness you are going through it may be possible to have some treatments during your period of illness or it may be better to wait until after your treatment has finished. 

Our Venus Freeze is a warming soothing restorative Radio Frequency treatment to boost collagen synthesis, tighten and brighten skin as well as plumping. A course of 6 treatments is recommended to get lasting results. 

We have other treatments ranging from IPL laser to DMA tightening treatments that may be suitable for you during or after an illness.
