Have you heard about Skin or Derma Needling?
Beautiful Skin For Life!
Derma needling and why it is great for Anti-Ageing.
For our skin to look and feel youthful our cells have a natural turn over time to renew and regenerate, this is over a 4 week period.
As we age our natural skin turn over time slows down generously which causes our skin to lack volume and firmness, therfore accelerating the ageing process.
THE TREATMENT
Derma needling has been created to enhance our skins natural cell rejuvenation to help stimulate new healthy cells and collagen. This is caused by slightly damaging the older cells to increase a healthier growth factor to produce more collagen to plump through to the surface.
This is fantastic for acnes scarring, open pores and lightening pigmentation and overall anti- ageing results anywhere on the body.
This is a non ablative treatment with no down time and minimal after effects. A minimum of 6 treatments are required for better and more noticebale results.
Our skin normally absorbs products between 20-30% before Derma needling, but after having a course of this treatment our skin can absorb 3 time more product, resulting in rapid change within the skin and more results.
AFTERCARE
Caring for your skin after your treatment is very important to ensure long lasting results.
Using a gentle cleanser for the first few days is important to ensure your skin is clean without having too many actives involved. Ensuring your skin is hydrated is essential as now your skin is at its optimum absorbtion level. Using Medik8s hero product, Hydr8B, your skin will feel amazing!
Ensuring the use of an SPF is a key factor!
Incorporating a calming serum is great to reduce any minimal redness and sensitivity that may have occurred after treatment.
After 1 week of treatment you can begin to step up your regime using the Vitamin Cs and As and active cleansers again.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)

The Ant, Bird & Hunter (Day - 1)
Dear Neighbors,
I’ve come across something I truly believe can make a positive impact, and I’m excited to share it with you! Over the next 54 days, I will be sharing a series of 54 moral stories (one a day) that encourage children to think deeply and adopt valuable life lessons. These stories are designed to instill ethics, values, and morals that will help shape a better future for our kids.
I’d love to hear your feedback along the way so we can evaluate the outcomes together and make sure this effort benefits our community in the best possible way.
Please note, this is a non-religious, non-cultural initiative. If any names (People, places etc...) in the stories seem tied to a particular belief system, feel free to adjust them to better align with your own, as the core focus is on values and positive character-building.
Looking forward to your thoughts and feedback!

The Ant, Bird & Hunter
There was an ant which fell into a river accidentally and the river was flowing rapidly.The ant would have died after getting drowned in the river, but luckily for the ant there was a bird sitting on a tree above that saw the ant. The bird plucked out a leaf from the tree, flew a short distance, and put it into the river just in time for the ant to climb onto the leaf. The ant floated on the leaf for a while and finally when the river was calm it reached land.
After it reached land, the ant dismounted the leaf, felt thankful that its life had been saved by the bird and headed off to thank the bird which saved its life. In a few hours, it reached the place where the bird was seated on the tree. The ant was about to climb the tree to thank the bird but it observed a hunter was about to shoot down the bird on the tree. The bird had not noticed the hunter.
The ant decided to take action immediately, and thereby help its friend, the bird. The ant went and began biting the feet of the hunter. The irritated hunter could not aim carefully and missed shooting his prey, the bird, as his feet had been bitten by the ant.
The moral of the story is that we may all be very small persons but we must try our best to help our friends under all circumstances. Returning a favor is as important as accepting a favor.
