The Bite Magazine - Summer 2019 - Issue 25

bite beauty that you can tailor your facial to specif- ic skincare concerns, from fine lines to acne. You can choose to use one therapy or multiple therapies at the same time. For an optimal skincare approach and all-round rejuvenation protocol, I used all of the functions simultaneously in one facial at the highest strength. My LED light therapy follows the routine of a 2-minute blue light to cleanse, 10-min- ute red to stimulate skin cell metabolism and a 3-minute green to brighten. And if that wasn’t enough, I integrated ultra- sonic and massager plus ION therapy in each targeted session. Keen on AHA exfoliants recommend- ed for use with blue light, I smeared on OPATRA INSTANT RENEWAL PEEL- ING GEL. While wielding my expert tool in medium-sized circles along the edge of my face in the first and short- est session, ION+ applied positive cur- rent (cathode) to my skin which quickly killed off any blemish-causing bacteria on the surface of my skin. It also does the job of calming down inflammation brought on by the odd breakout. One might think this would make for a harsh cleansing experience, but it’s quite the opposite. Gentle exfoliation is aided by ultra- sound peel, which brings the dirt and grime to the surface without stripping or irritating the skin. As the name sug- gests, the peeling gel provides instant results. There was so much gunk that I needed to splash on some micellar water to remove all the dead cells before going onto the next phase. Despite the gross look, it was a wholly satisfying feeling. I saw that my skin had only the slightest bit of redness, which takes few minutes to subside, but after a quick inspection in the mirror, I can assure you that I was looking smoother and more radiant. Blemish bumps are smoothed over and virtually unnoticeable immediately after the peel. Because the gel is only recommended to use once a week, I employed OPATRA NOURISH, an Alpha Hydroxy and Beta Hydroxy Acid anti-ageing daily active serum with Glycolic and Salicylic Acid on the other days of the week. A regu- lar high strength lightweight serum is quickly absorbed deep into the skin’s dermis, leaving the skin invigorated and hydrated. Next up is the anti-ageing treatment. I massaged on OPATRA BOOST, a high strength Hyaluronic Acid lightweight serum, which has been clinically proven to attract moisture from the deep tissues and blood vessels into the dermis and upper layers of the skin to improve skin plumpness and hydration to minimise the appearance of skin sagging, dehy- dration, fine lines, and wrinkles. This is a perfect oil-free moisturiser for my oily T-zone. Dermisonic is then set with ION- that emits negative currents. This time, I start gliding the machine along the face line from the bottom of the chin to the front of the ear and then proceeded from the mouth and nose to the temple, nasolabial fold (laughter lines), under- the-eyes area, cheekbone, and forehead. The key move? Always keep the facial head firmly against the skin and move slowly with the galvanic surface touch- ing the skin throughout the treatment. Ultrasound, known for its anti-ageing properties, lifts and tightens the skin by boosting collagen production along with red-light energy, which instant- ly perks up my skin and subsequently fades fine lines over time. In the last step, another layer of a serum called OPATRA BRIGHTEN is applied which helps fight against environmen- tal damage. Ten percent L-Ascorbic Acid, a stable and chirally correct form of Vitamin C, is a superstar known for its proven antioxidant properties that boost firmer-feeling skin and penetrates further into the skin using a gentle gal- vanic negative current. This is the key product to prevent future signs of age- ing. The green LED anti-pigmentation light is moved over the surface to im- prove cell and oxygen utilisation. The skin is then soothed, balanced and dredged from the lymph. Dermisonic heats up throughout the whole cycle of the treat- ments, increasing circulation, thus helping the products to absorb better into the skin. The metal galvanic head felt warm in a comfort- ing way, and there was a low humming sound of high-frequency waves. An advance technologies facial all in a total of 15 minutes - impressive right? Opatra recommends using DER- MISONIC at night-time, three times a week with 10 to 15 minutes for single use. After each treatment, the skin will immediately look brighter and fresher, and it will be as though the fine lines have blurred. You will have to commit to the regime to maintain these results for more than a week, but I can reassure you that the results are pretty addictive. At the end of each treatment, after I had finished with the Dermisonic, I slathered two final products on my face each morning and night for the finishing touch. I lightly pat ULTRA REVIVAL EYE SERUM in the delicate eye area, which promotes intensive hydration with deeply hydrating natu- ral oils of Sea Buckthorn, Borage Seed and Prim- rose that binds mois- ture in the dry patches under my eyes. The texture is pleasant and smooth like Vaseline, leaving sheer free-radi- cal protection of powerful antioxidants to fight p r e m a - t u r e s k i n dam- a g e
