Clients are not just for Christmas but often for life.I have a client who is in her 40’s and says that other than family I am the person who has known her longerst. That’s a teenage women who started her’beautiful life’life as she intended to go on! Year after year she also includes Daydreams vouchers on any celebratory lists.
Although it is now June appointments are still being made for christmas vouchers to be redeemed. Often the recipient waits for a special occasion before making a booking.It is the aim at Daydreams to make the treatment experience special. There is an obligation to make the voucher promise a real pleasure.For some there is hesitancy due to shyness but the clients privacy is always protected and we hope to put everyone at ease very quickly. A delighted lady this week said how she had been dreading her massage because it was going to be embarressing. We transferred her 40 min. body massage to a facial massage followed by a back massage and she loved it. The treatment can always be altered to best suit the client.

Block out the sun.
Please do read the guidelines on cosmetic products. Some specifically say do not use if you are going to be outside because whilst treating melanin deposits you will not be protected from the suns rays. You should then use at night and wear sun protection in the day.
Last evening at the supermarket checkout I saw they are taking yet another opportunity to put merchandise under the consumer’s nose! A box of hand bag size sun screens headlined ‘immediate protection.’ O.K. but for how long I wondered. The print was minute. It was for use on children. I could make out 30 and the word high. Does 30 suggest protection for 30 minutes? High is not the same as long term although I suspect most purchasers would assume that. I think sun protection especially for children is very important and more especially now than ever before. Present day children play outside less than their parents did and have less natural resilience to the sun’s rays and then there is the whole topic of the ozone layer to ponder. Ofcourse we all feel better in fine,sunny weather and there are those that suffer with seasonal disorders during the dull months. My mother is one but this winter she took a vitamin D suplement and her mood did not take a dip at all.
Just read this funny piece of information. The scientific reaction that creates the brown’stain’ in self tanning preparations is the same as used in foodstuffs to brown the top of hamburger rolls.
spring into life
MONTHLY OFFER FOR MAY is 4 treatments for the price of 3 .
David Suzuki came over from America to promote his new British agent/distributor this month. Appropriately the Suzukiroad-show was at the splendid venue of the Motorcycle Museum which sadly there was not time to explore as it was an action packed day.
David is an amazing speaker( looks like Frankie Dettori) and on this occasion he had brought his own therapist to demonstrate procedures and protocols. She is a lovely women of an age that she understands ageing!
The Suzuki micro current went by the name of Bio Therapeutic before the technology was updated with the present sequencing.Bio Therapeutic always seemed a rather awkward brand name but it meant life energy because the prime function of micro current technology is to stimulate the production of Adeno Tri Phosphate which is known as the body’s power force.
ATP is required by all living cells and particularly the muscles for healthy living It is needed for all cellular activity and the skin which is the largest organ of the body needs massive amounts. Young people make an abundance of it which is why they have the energy to stay up day and night but we know this not to be the case as ’time’ goes by!
Suzuki sequencing is a patented micro current developed to perform and deliver firm contours and hydrated, revitalized skin. Stimulation of A.T.P. can increase up to 500%. with the very specific Suzuki system.
The cosmoceuticals that accompany the system have varying functions. The powerful peptides vary from those that help muscles to relax to others which increase collagen and elastin levels in the skin ,hydrate and accelerate cell renewal .
Spring clean; off with the old
Almost every one appreciates a deep cleansing treatment at the change of the seasons. Daydreams includes some level of exfoliation in almost all facials.
The aromatherapy facial has a plant gum peel that lifts skin and cosmetic debris and prepares the skin for the warm decongesting oils.
The Suzuki facials use a papaya exfoliant to soften the tissue and this can be intensified with the use of the bt-micro ultrasonic tool. The bt-micro peeling probe works at high speed creating a cavitation like effect to geatly enhance the natural exfoliation process of the outer skin. Additional work can be performed to assist with extraction.
Crystal Clear micro-dermabrasion is another popular and mechanical option as are the Rainforest skin peels but our promotion this month is
a Free mini quick clear facial with a course of Suzuki sequence micro current lifts.
6 facials for the price of 5 @£225 plus a less formal mini service which is perfect fot the time you need a quick getaway.
Skin analysis.
Correct skin analysis is vital for effective treatment. The professional therapist with experience and a trained eye can see much that is not apparent to others. It helps to document and chart skin conditions and indications because indicators alter. Skin care inside and out is crucial.Daydreams has two new tools from Bio Therapeutic which are great to use in assessment.
The Bt zoom allows for more magnification and the U.V light exposure exposes skin connditions that are normally not visible to the naked eye. The second device is Bt -Analyze is a strategic and compact moisture reading tool. The technology is known as bio-electric impedance. Up to seven moisture readings can be recorded around the face which permits the treatment to be varied or intensified in different areas. Recordings before and after treatment can be evaluated.
These new aids in addition to our existing Derma print allows for a very acurate and comprehensive understanding of the clients complexion . We want not only to identlfy conditions but the severity in order to customise and maximise results.
This is an excellent time of year to review skin care as we come out of a long, dull winter. David Susuki and his American skin specialist hosted an education road show this month which brought me up to date with all the latest research as well as skincare protocols. The world of medical aesthetics is fast moving and it is vital yto keep abreast of the new research and developments.
Why not book an appointment, which is without charge, to learn how best to manage your skin.
REGENERATING POWER OF THE SKIN
I am a ‘firm’ believer in stimulating the body into performing to its maximum potential. None of that forehead numbing business for me!
Inevitably fine lines, scars and stretch marks creep onto the skin. Daydreams has a unique selection of technology and cosmoceuticals which rely on the basic principle of cell regeneration .
The latest of these is Derma Rolling in which tiny needles puncture the skin to provoke and stimulate a natural healing process. At this time the skin is super receptive to topical applications and growth factors.The treatment is suitable for all skin types, other than active acne, including sensitive skin such as that around the eye .
The treatment is not without discomfort. The face has to be numbed with a topical cream becomes very red. The décolletage responds particularly well to this treatment
Cost £90. Promotion 4 treatments @ £270.
Fresh start for your skin.
Any time of year is a good time to improve the well being of your skin but birthdays and anniversaries usually bring a little extra focus!. It can be helped greatly by the resolve to cut down on alcohol, exercise and loose a few pounds but a little extra care and treatment can greatly improve and accelerate results.
Remember how delicate and fragile the eye area is and treat it appropriately.This area is one of the first to show signs of ageing. Eye serums and gels applied within the orbital bone need to be lighter for easier absorption. ‘Rich’ formulations congest the tissue and the eyes may appear heavy and puffy. You can economise by cleansing with Crystal Clear’s soothing gel on both the face and eyes as it is soap free and as it foams it also makes an excellent shaving product. Something to share.
Maintaining good levels of hydration prevents fine lines and vivisbly improves the appearance of existing ones. Water in the skin issue plumps it and aids the regeneration and repair of cells. I particularly like Skinceuticals Eye Balm and Hydrating B5.
During the grey days of winter our skin can also look dull and exfoliation is important for better product absorption and treatment efficiency. Your winter regime should have a seasonal adjustment but needs to be regular. Daydreams incorporates various levels of exfoliation wthin the Suzuki facials. Product and a micro tool are engaged and another option is the Rain Forest Skin Peels which are an exotic range of varying strength peels to dissolve the connections holding skin cells on the skin surface. All improve the well being and health of the skin and with no recovery period. Crystal Clear Microdermabrasion and Jet M hydra-dermabrasion are mechanical peeling processes designed to improve the skin’s generative capabilities and specific skin conditions.In all treatments the therapist Sara uses her experience and judgement to create a unique exfoliation experience to gain maximum benefit for her client.
Daydreams gift is the Personal Touch
Up close and personal.
Nothing could describe more acurately the relationshio between client and therapist. When asked about the service Daydreams offers and our Dream packages, which are so popular as gifts, it is this that I emphasise. Daydreams treatments are for the individual who wants privacy and customised pampering. The quality of product is matched by a high level of expertise experience. Much of our voucher work is repeat business which adds to the pleasure of delivering the service.
Within the treatments there is flexability to ensure the client’s needs are best met. An evaluation of the clients well being, medication, skin type and expectation precedes each treatment. Choice of product and massage styles will always be varied to give the client maximum benefit and enjoyment.
As much flexibility as possible is allowed with the valid date for the vouchers to be used and to date we have never not honoured one . There is a significant saving with the Daydream packages but the recipient is always at liberty to alter the proposed treatment . If requested we can spread a voucher over more than one visit.
Ofcourse gift vouchers are for all celebrations and Mothers Day will soon be upon us. Daydreams is the perfect environment for all ladies including senoir citizens. The Dream packages make delightful presents for a host of celebrations but a simple manicure can be a delightful experience with the recipient leaving feeling relaxed and pampered as well as perfect groomed nails. The Daydream quarentee is we always value your investment and our client.
Permanent Make Up
Spring is an excellent time of year to refresh your cosmetic tattoo or indeed to decide to have your first procedure. Top up treatments are offered at 50% of the list price if there is still evidence of the original shape. During the summer months we prefere to wear less make up and ofcourse on holiday or swimming we all want to look gorgeous ‘naturally’! Permanent Make Up is a wonderful anti -ageing tool, confidence booster and time saver. It is a very precise process and is in most cases irreversible. It is therefore important that it is applied with the safest and most professional equipment and skill. The conference was exciting with delegates from all around the world. International educators and demonstrators also. I have come home with new ideas and techniques to offer in the art of cosmetic tattooing and to improve the client’s experience.
The post conference promotion is over but Daydreams prices remain very competitive .Treatment is available to men as well as women. The guy liner is a subtle enhancement adapted for a light emphasis of the eye area.
Start young & stay young with Suzuki
I met with David Suzuki last week at Professional Beauty 2013. He has an amazing knowledge of both micro current and how to present beauty treatments in an easy environment. OUR LATEST NWSLETTER “Spring into life” focuses on the micro-current and has a limited time offer. Request at ask@daydreamsbeauty.co.uk.
When last in America I met another ’specialist in anti aging’. There are so many machines on the market in the beauty and medical aesthetics arena so imagine my surprise when I discovered Kim also had a Suzuki micro current. David Suzuki is American so prehaps she thought it was surprising I had the same micro -current system.
The Suzuki micro-current is so popular as an aesthetic treatment because it physically re -educates muscles and firms the skin. The Suzuki sequencing is very specific and comfortable. It mirrors the body’s own natural electrical electrical system and works harmoniously with it.
The energy muscles need to contract is found in a protein ..ATP(adenosine triphosphate) and treatment increases supply and levels. ATP cannot be stock piled which is why regular treatment is advised and an initial series recommended.
The application of micro -curremt to skin and tissue is proven to increase blood supply, elastin fibres and collagen thickness. Product penetration with micro current increases greatly.
My daughters have birthdays this month and one asked when should she begin the’ non surgical face lift’ treatment ie. Suzuki micro-current . Why delay!There are 32 facial muscles awaiting attention.
In the medical world this technology is used to aid wound healing; on scars; post surgery on tramatised, inflamed tissue.
Those who have had asethetic surgical procedures should embrace this salon treatment to maintain results. True micro current is very low intensity and sub sensory and does not cause a visible contraction unlike many home units.
Evidnce for the benefits of micro-current has been gathered in clinical tests and in the field of electro-medicine since the 80’s.
Remember with anti ageing “Start young to avoid disappointment”
