Environ Facial
The Environ facial is designed to treat specific skin problems such as acne and sun damaged skin. Using a combination of vitamin creams and Alpha Hydroxy Acids, the treatment offers dramatic and long lasting results. Vitamin A is vital to maintain healthy skin.
By using these products, you can prevent premature aging and sun damage.
The superb Environ products can be absorbed into the skin up to 400% more effectively, smoothing the skin to a degree previously thought impossible!
What is the Ionzyme DF machine?
The Ionzyme DF machine that is used during Environ treatments was designed by Dr. Des Fernandes to get the best out of iontophoresis with the added power of sonophoresis.
Specific Environ products used in these treatments contain the optimum strengths of vitamin A and C plus additional growth factors. This creative system enhances the penetration of these products through the skin providing better penetration of the active vitamins and essential factors into the skin.
This technique is crucial because skin has a natural, waterproof barrier that hinders the penetrations of vitamins. It is a patent pending machine which provides facial treatments that are at the forefront of scientific skin care.
Because the machine introduces the use of active sonophoresis and intensified Iontophoresis treatments, it is possibly the most advanced penetrant-enhancing machine available in the world today.
The treatments are designed to stimulate maximum thickening of the skin, normalization and improvement of collagen and elastin, better control of pigment production, restoration of normal blood flow, and proper oxygenation of the skin.
What are iontophoresis and sonophoresis?
The Ionzyme DF machine manages to overcome this resistance with two tried and tested methods:
Iontophoresis – involves the use of an electrical current to facilitate greater penetration of vitamins into the skin.
With conventional iontophoresis, changes are very much slower, whereas with the Ionzyme DF machine, the client will notice that the skin looks and feels younger within two or three treatments.
Sonophoresis – involves the use of sound waves to transport vitamin molecules through the skin. The sound used is the same as the sound made by dolphins, which produces better penetration through the skin than conventional Ultrasound.
The treatments offer up to 400 times more effective penetration of the vitamins into the skin than normal topical application of the Environ creams, effectively targeting aging skin and providing optimum results.
Who should receive the Environ facial?
It is nonperfumed and good for clients with hypersensitive skin or skin conditions such as eczema, acne, and dermatitis.
Also treatable are: Acne Scars, Chickenpox Scars, Pigmentation Problems, Peeling, Stretch marks
How can I get the most out of my facial?
For the treatments to be most effective, one should also use the Environ home-care range (see Products) daily to maintain a healthy skin.
The facial is a great way to boost the use of the product line, but if you want the ultimate effect, you should try to schedule a treatment at least once or twice a week.
A minimum of twenty-four treatments is recommended to afford the desired results. Thereafter, plan at least one treatment a month with an occasional booster course of one per week.
What happens during the Environ facial?
The facial consists of cleansing, deep exfoliation, and the lymphatic drainage massage. An Alginate (seaweed) mask gently opens the pores, preparing the skin for vitamins C and E.
The application of the concentrated vitamin C and E in the form of a gel and serum swiftly follows. A galvanic machine pushes these ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin.

Therapeutic
When a chronic or acute pain is present due to injury or illness, a therapeutic massage is most indicated. Anyone seeking optimal health or enhanced athletic performance would also benefit from this massage type. Techniques utilized may include any or all of the following:
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger points, AKA "knots", are those troublesome spots in muscles which cause either local and/or referred pain. This therapy is specifically aimed to decrease spasm, elongate, and detoxify muscles and surrounding tissues
Myofascial
Fascia is the connective tissue sheath which surrounds and protects every muscle fiber and muscle group. It thickens in response to injury, stress, poor posture or overuse/misuse.This results in pain, weakness, decrease range of motion and abnormal pulls on surrounding structures. Myofascial is the application of deep, sustained, gliding pressure which aims to release fascia.
Lymphatic Drainage
This technique involves the use of light, slow, rhythmic touch to stimulate a sluggish lymphatic system. This enhances immune response, fluid balance, and elimination of toxins.
Cranial-Sacral
The Cranial-Sacral System is comprised of the membranes and fluid which surround and protect the Central Nervous System. Detection and correction of restrictions within this system is done through gentle techniques which leave you feeling balanced, peaceful and calm.
Acupressure
Based on the Acupressure philosophy in which vital energy flows throughout the body and optimal health and vitality are present when there is free flowing energy. Acupressure stimulates and restores this flow of energy by detecting and eliminating obstructions through the application of various pressures throughout the body.
PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation)
PNF is a neuromuscular mechanism which stimulates proprioceptors in order to achieve a greater increase in range of motion (compared to active or passive stretching alone).
