]]>A skin care product needs to have active ingredients if you want to achieve the results you demand. Not only do medical-grade products offer the best active ingredients, but they also offer them in higher concentrations than typical department store products. Such items are limited in active ingredient concentrations to minimize any risk of irritation or allergic reactions. On the other hand, medical grade products have the right concentrations of active ingredients, but also the right formula to prevent irritations or side effects.
Medical-grade products pack the latest research in skin care, bringing you the most innovative formulations to produce the optimal results. The Harley Clinic’s range is uniquely designed to work with, and boost the results of our skin care treatments. They can extend and enhance the results you achieve in the clinic, as you apply them at home. This alignment between in-clinic treatment and at-home skin care is not possible with retail products.
Medical-grade products are scientifically formulated with better skin penetration as an objective. This ensures that all the beneficial ingredients get to the cells where they can deliver what they are meant for. Retail store products don’t have this, and thus cannot offer long-lasting results.
Studies on medical-grade formulations are often found in reputable medical journals, so you can even read about the benefits and function of the product before you decide to try it. Often, the process of creating these skin care solutions passes through multiple stages of testing before perfecting the final product and making it suitable for a wide range of skin types.
At the Harley Clinic, you get to work with a professional and qualified skin care expert who can help you determine the best products for your specific skin type and needs. Our range includes Aesthetics RX, Cosmedix and Aspect Dr. Book now for a free consultation.

]]>The post DERMAL FILLERS – The benefits of Hyaluronic Acid appeared first on The Harley Clinic.
]]>Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body, and its job is to hydrate the skin and lubricate our joints. It helps to preserve collagen, increase moisture, and improve elasticity and texture of the skin, thereby giving that youthful look. And not only the skin, but hyaluronic acid also helps in reducing joint pain and other symptoms that are a part of the aging process.
The Science Behind It
Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide which naturally occurs in connective tissue in our bodies, and most of it is found in the skin. It is one of the core components of the framework in which our skin cells sit, and is so powerful that one molecule of this acid alone can hold up to 1000 times its own weight in water and moisture!
In an Aussie context, this acid seems to be of more importance. It is an important part of the system that forms a protective coat around each cell, known as chondrocyte. The harsh local summer can lead to sun-related skin damage through UVB rays, but hyaluronic acid protects the skin from reactive oxygen species generated by these rays!
Finally, doctors and scientists have also found hyaluronic acid to combat osteoarthritis as it benefits soft tissue function in the joints as we age.
Benefits through the Ages
Recommended by dermatologists, and administered by the expert staff at the Harley Clinic, you can enjoy all the benefits listed above through dermal fillers. And because this is something that is natural to the body, it’s got something for every age group.
IN OUR 20s
hyaluronic acid is more of a preventative measure that not only boosts your look through fuller lips, gorgeous eyebrow lifts, and facial slimming, but also helps to “lock in” the effect of youth. A lot of patients tend to be in their 30s when they start to see loss of volume in the skin and those early signs of ageing that give them the creeps! Dermal fillers from the Harley Clinic can help address volume loss in cheeks and lips and help you keep that swag on!
IN OUR 30s-40s
Beyond the 30’s and into the 40s, this is typically the stage where most significant changes start to occur to the facial structure, with a lot of noticeable changes in the jaw and neck skin areas. The skin begins to look a bit dull and starts sagging as well. Our dermal fillers can help replace the sagging and provide a natural-looking lift to these areas, along with softening wrinkles.
IN OUR 50s
When things go south for the skin with the 50s+ range, dermal fillers can help address the more prominent age-defining factors with volumising affect, and taking care of those deeper lines and Crow’s Feet effects. A lot of this is due to the deteriorating quality of muscles and bone structure. Dermal fillers can help deliver the hydration that the skin and overall system needs.
In addition to dermal filler treatments for every age group, the Harley Clinic’s unique methodology also makes use of a range of safe skin treatments to help preserve the benefits of dermal filler treatments and give you maximum value from your investments in your appearance.

]]>How does the summer affect your skin?
The sunshine in the summer can be particularly harsh in Australia, and it does have a significant impact on your skin. This year, the Aussie summer peaked at a whopping 47 degrees. Not only do such sweltering temperatures and humidity dry out the skin pores, but the increased sweat can clog them with debris from the environment and topical products, making the skin look dull and potentially increase breakouts. Also, the sun’s UV rays are the biggest contributor to premature skin ageing, with the ability to affect skin vessels and thereby accelerate the aging process.
While we’re outdoors enjoying the summer, quite a lot of us can be surprised to see skin discolouration in the nose, forehead, and cheek areas. This is the result of hyperpigmentation, commonly seen as dark spots, skin discolouration, or even brown marks. The primary cause of this is prolonged exposure to harmful UV rays from the sun, causing skin damage. These rays stimulate the pigment cells in our skin and accelerate the production of melanin, which darkens the skin tone.
Treatments to rejuvenate sun-damaged skin
Luckily, the experts at Harley Clinic have a range of refreshing and rejuvenating treatments to get sun damaged skin back on track after the summer! Our light lactic peels can help exfoliate the surface of the skin while deep cleaning the pores. This leads to a more replenished and even skin tone. Follow these lactic peels up with our skin at home Vitamin C products suitable for your skin type to naturally enhance your glow and brighten skin tone.
Furthermore, to infuse hydration and give the skin it’s moisture back after the dry spell of the summer we recommend the use of active skin care products, which include Vitamin B – the perfect solution to instant skin hydration. This combined with Hyaluronic Acid boosters to keep collagen levels up, while retaining skin moisture, and contributing to the anti-ageing benefits of the skin. Specific skin texture concerns can also be treated with our MDerma and Microdermabrasion treatments to exfoliate dead skin cells and build-up of debris.
