Papillon Advanced Skincare

Environ® skin care products have been formulated by Dr Des Fernandes, a prominent Cape Town plastic surgeon, to combat and relieve the harmful effects of the harsh climate changes of today’s environment, specifically pollution and ever-increasing doses of radiation from the sun due to the thinning of the protective ozone layer.

The range evolves around the AVST skin care creams. These creams contain vitamin A, a free radical scavenging system of beta-carotene, vitamins C and E and pro-vitamin B5. Medical research has shown that vitamin A has a corrective effect on skin, smoothing and softening it, whilst at the same time protecting it from the effects of UV irradiation and free radicals. The most important activity of vitamin A is that it normalises the skin. It promotes the production of healthy collagen and elastin and improves the natural moisturising factors of the skin, leading to healthier, younger looking skin.

Environ Collagen Induction Therapy

Now available in the clinic.  This amazing treatment uses the Environ ‘Rollcit’ a beauty tool favoured by the top stars.  This wonderful piece of technology used in conjunction with the Environ Intensive facial, creates microscopic channels into the skin enabling the Environ DF Machine to push the concentrated vitamins into the lower levels of the epidermis, over 40,0000 more effectively than a manual facial, stimulating collagen production.

(this facial requires the purchase of a Rollcit for your own personal use)

Use of the Cosmetic ROLL-CIT™ will help restore skin tightness in the early stages of ageing, speed up the reduction of pigmented marks, thicken thin skin, smooth fine lines, soften scars and reduce dilated blood vessels. The advantages of skin needling is that is not painful, it does not damage the skin and it can be used on all areas of the skin or body, including very thin skin. It is however, not suitable for use on the following skin conditions: Active acne, Eczema, Rosacea, Psoriasis

Environ Intensive Facial

Suitable for ALL skin types, except extremely sensitive and young skins. The facial uses pulsed electrical current (Iontophoresis) and ultrasound (Sonophoresis) waves, allowing re-hydrating Vitamin A and C to be absorbed into the skin up to 4000 times more effectively than conventional facials. This facial is known as the ‘Rolls Royce of facials’, it offers noticeable results even with just one treatment. It thoroughly exfoliates and tightens the skin, softens the expression lines and helps to decrease wrinkles. Recommended on a monthly basis as a conditioning treatment, or as part of a course of treatments working alongside the home use of Environ skincare to speed up the anti-ageing effects.

Environ Prescriptive Facial

This facial is a very effective treatment for photo-ageing (lines and wrinkles), pigmentation and post-acne scarring when taken as a course of treatments. It focuses on feeding the skin with high doses of Vitamins A and C, which are essential for healthy collagen production and normalisation of melanocytes. For clients who have serious concerns with their skin ideally this treatment should be carried out weekly for 12-24 weeks then a maintenance plan of monthly Environ Ionzyme Active Vitamin facials.  For other clients this facial is an ideal pick me up, generally the benefits can still be felt for a few days after the treatment.
