3D INNOVATION
Located in Clonmel, Co Tipperary, with free parking and a private location, 3D Aesthetic & Beauty Clinic is making its mark on the industry with its revolutionary treatments.
The 3D Aesthetic & Beauty Clinic, formerly known as 3D Lipo and Skincare, was opened in March 2013. The original plan for the clinic was a 3D Lipo clinic as the companies owners introduced the 3D Lipo and 3D Skintech systems into Ireland. They hired manager Sarah Jane McGrath to run their clinic for them and it soon expanded into the beauty market. Over the last five years the clinic rebranded to 3D Aesthetic & Beauty Clinic – ‘the innovators in facial and body aesthetics’ – offering advanced skin treatments along with the essential beauty treatments to their clients. Along with manager Sarah Jane, there are two other staff members – Claire, who has been with the clinic for the last four and a half years, and newest recruit Caoimhe. “Our unique selling point is we offer advanced treatments with international brands such as DMK and 3D Lipo to our clients at very reasonable prices,” explains Sarah Jane. “They travel from all over to have these treatments. No two clients are the same, therefore each is given a full consultation to ensure that we prescribe the best course of treatment and home care possible. DMK in particular treats all different skin concerns, from acne to pigmentation, and rosacea to age management.” Shortlisted in The Irish Hair and Beauty Awards for Cosmetic Clinic of the Year for the second year in a row, Sarah Jane says that as a small business, she and the team value each customer’s experience. “We work on building relationships with each of our clients in order to be able to adjust and introduce services that we feel will benefit their specific needs within the aesthetic market. We hope to evolve with the growing aesthetic industry in Ireland, which I’m delighted is growing, both with treatments but most importantly within the training sector. I do feel that regulations need be set in Ireland with particular aesthetic treatments to avoid future problems. I feel we need to take examples from other countries like Australia where the aesthetic industry is booming.”
DMK ENZYME THERAPY RESTORING SKIN TO ITS PEAK CONDITION Salon Magazine’s editor took a trip to 3D Aesthetic & Beauty Clinic recently to try out the DMK Enzyme Therapy, which was done by manager Sarah Jane McGrath. DMK is the only company in the world to utilise the beneficial effects of transfer messenger enzymes. Enzymes are living substances that regulate health and work with certain minerals in the body to form a natural system of antioxidants that fight corrosive free radicals. Properly formulated, they can remove dead protein, toxins and other effluvia from the epidermis using a process called ‘reverse osmosis’. Where some cosmetic facial treatments may only act on the surface of the skin, DMK Enzyme Treatments works with the skin. The enzymes strengthen the structural integrity of the skin to create a healthy environment for cells to live and thrive in. Enzyme Therapy exercises facial muscles and works to leave the skin feeling firm. What is this therapy recommended for? DMK Enzyme Therapy is suitable for all skin concerns such as acne, pigmentation, rosacea, age management as each treatment is customised to the clients needs. The Enzyme Therapy aids in the removal of dead skin cells, flushes fresh blood and nutrients throughout the skin network and improve lymphatic drainage to detoxify the skin along with tightening the skin. Can you explain the steps etc ? We started the treatment with a consultation discussing your concerns, lifestyle

and diet and what your home care regimes consisted of. Then we started the treatment with a deep cleanse to remove any impurities, followed by with Epitoxyl, a detoxifying tonic to evaporate toxins within the skin with sea kelp extract. An exfoliation is usually next, however we couldn’t do this on the day. We then applied pore reduction drops to minimise pore appearance along with melanotech drops to assist in with treating uneven skin tone. I then applied Fibromax Vitamin C, this powder is formulated in liquid droplets encapsulated in silica particles that are activated upon immediate contact with the skin. This benefits a wide variety of concerns such as fine lines, pigmentation, dullness, acne, eczema and protection against UVB damage. I then mixed the Enzyme Masque #1 with Aqua d’Herb and applied it to your chest, neck and face ensuring to apply over the lymph nodes and along the muscles to create the tightening effect. The masque is left on for 45 minutes and is then removed and followed with DMK’s finishing products formulated to allow transepidermal delivery of the ingredients into the skin using Beta Gel, Direct Delivery Vitamin C Serum, Herb & Mineral, Eyetone and Nutra Screen SPF30. What was the result? At the end of the treatment there is a subtle dilation of the peripheral capillaries that typically disappear shortly after the treatment. This is known as the Plasmatic Effect and looks like a road map of capillaries. This indicates the treatment is successful and homeostasis is present for a healthy function skin.
