A young woman struggling with her skin after coming off the contraceptive pill has healed her painful skin lesions with just three ‘fairy dust’ treatments at an exclusive salon in Sydney.

Morgan turned to skin specialist Carina Gross from Belameres to help clear up unwanted acne and pigmentation with her exclusive $310-a-session treatments, which worked their magic in just a few weeks.

‘Our Fairy Dust Treatment utilises a low-level laser and infuses a micronised hyaluronic acid into the skin,’ the Belameres website read.

‘The treatment starts with the cleansing, exfoliation and neutralisation of the skin – this can sometimes include manual extractions. The skin is stimulated with our laser and HA gel is applied.

‘It is free of allergens, preservatives and additives. Your skin will be dewy and glowing straight after. This treatment is great for a routine hit of hydration and is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive. Non-invasive, pregnancy and breastfeeding safe.’

The treatment can take up to an hour and a half to complete, with Morgan testing them out since March.

Transformation photos posted to the clinic’s Instagram page on May 23 show how quickly her skin healed, and it earned rapturous applause from her online audience.

Carina Gross previously spoke to FEMAIL about how important vitamin A esters, not to be confused with vitamin A acids, are for fighting free radical damage.

So sure of its acne-fighting, fine line-reducing properties, Ms Gross only recommends skincare like brand Beaute Pacifique which has the antioxidant included.

Why is vitamin A so important?

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that also acts as a powerful antioxidant in the body.

It plays a critical role in maintaining vision, neurological function, healthy skin and more. Like all antioxidants, it’s also involved in reducing inflammation through fighting.

Often prescribed by dermatologists to fight acne and wrinkles alike, vitamin A esters are revered for their potent skin-enhancing properties. One study out of the University of Michigan Medical School’s Department of Dermatology even found that applying retinol topically to the skin significantly improved fine lines and wrinkles, plus increased the skin’s ability to withstand injury.

‘I think people are under the impression putting a moisturiser on is a one-stop fix for giving you gorgeous, glowy skin, but it’s not true,’ she said.

‘The moisturiser does nothing else but stop trans-epidermal moisture loss – your skin can still be dehydrated even if you’re putting something onto it.’

Instead, waking up to a lukewarm glass of lemon water and avoiding coffee early in the morning is a preferred method for jump-starting the skin.

Carina reveals the acid responsible for beautiful, glowing skin

Resident skin expert at Belaméres, Carina Gross, says that one particular acid found naturally in our epidermis can easily shed a decade off your skin’s age if protected.

‘I believe hydration is the key. We are born with 100 percent levels of hyaluronic acid but by the time we turn 40 there is only 50 per cent left and by 60 there is 10 per cent,’ she told FEMAIL.

‘In order to look youthful we need to keep that profile up as high as possible. The acid is connected to our collagen levels and cells – so if you’re looking for radiant skin this is the “fairy dust”.’

Caffeine amplifies your cortisol levels, which is a stress hormone, and negatively impacts your bodily systems when taken first thing.

Alternatively, exercising as soon as you’ve leapt out of bed is prone to leaving the body with a dewy sheen and can be seen (begrudgingly) as a better option.

‘I recommend a non-invasive low level laser treatment over something like a hot laser. They’re quick and extremely effect at stimulating the acid levels under the surface,’ she continued.
