Aesthetics Clinics

SALPATH is now offering the latest research/evidence based hormonal analysis in saliva and hair in order to gain a better understanding of any underlying pre clinical or symptomatic health issues that may impact on the skin.  Understanding and evaluation of hormonal disruption puts one in a position to better manage underlying causes in order to minimise their effects on the skin and optimise individual client treatment programmes.

A client walks into your clinic looking for a treatment regimen that will make their skin look young and supple and help with the ageing process.  Should you be asking your client to conduct further investigation on some of the important biomarkers of health and wellbeing?  The answer is yes.

Conducting a hormonal profile may reveal the state of functioning of the four major communication systems in your body (nervous, endocrine, immune, skin) and hence provide clues on how these may impact your skin and more importantly how your skin may react to any treatments. You as the  therapist will be in a position not only to provide the client with sound advice but also provide a personalized tailored skin care regimen to ensure optimal response to your treatment.  The old saying “what gets measured gets managed” rings so true.

Latest research has shown that many individuals have disordered hormonal profiles with little to no signs of symptoms or pathology manifesting on the skin or effecting everyday functioning. Disordered hormonal profiles can arise from common everyday use of chemical disruptors, lifestyle considerations, and psychological or physical factors.  Previously individuals had no easy way to measure and understand how the panel of hormones are working and how it may be impacting on their skin.
