  Are RégimA products safe?

  YES.  There are many powerful NATURAL ingredients within the treatment range but all are safe to use by all age groups and even during pregnancy.  The only product NOT to be used by pregnant or lactating women would be the Curve Contour Cellulite Controller.

  How long should one use RégimA?

  The RégimA Skin Treatment Programme can and should be used indefinitely. It is the most effective range and can be used long term safely.  As one gets older the body’s cell renewal process is more sluggish and so we tend to develop one problem or another. One can help eliminate these problems and maintain as perfect a skin as possible with RégimA.

  Does RegimA use animal ingredients or do we test on animals?

  We wish to state quite categorically that we DO NOT use any animal derived ingredients whatsoever, we never test on animals and refuse to use raw materials that have been tested on animals.

  Always ask where ingredients have been derived from – You may get a shock

  It must be noted that we are not introducing collagen into the Collagen III Booster but, with the aid of a new slow release delivery system, a specialized tripeptide stimulates the body to produce healthy, youthful collagen. We do not use collagen as an ingredient because collagen is a protein that is too large a molecule to penetrate the skin so it just sits on the surface and therefore has NO therapeutic action.  Also, collagen used in cosmetics is mostly of animal origin.  One must always ask from which source collagen has been obtained as this is usually from cows/calves in the slaughter houses.  Animal proteins may also contain viruses such as mad cow disease!! (Many countries now ban any animal derived proteins because of this health risk). The same applies for any extracts that may be described as amniotic fluid, placenta (whose?), elastin (is it from horse?), DNA, colostrum, tissue extracts (whose tissue and which tissue?), hyaluronic acid (check it is not from shark cartilage), DMAE (ensure it is not from shark fat).  Many of these ingredients may provide a feeling of smoothness on the skin but if they are animal protein they do not penetrate and only work on the outer epidermis.  Beware, because with long-term use, many of the above have a steroid type of effect with thinning of the skin.  Watch out for hydroquinone being used in some ‘pigment’ products.

  The unique elastin used in  RégimA Scar Repair, Quantum Elastin and the renowned ‘Peel & Heal’ treatment is synthesized to replicate human elastin so it is accepted as a natural constituent of skin and has a therapeutic action within the dermis.  RégimA Scar Repair is the # 1 best selling scar treatment used extensively by leading plastic surgeons and it does carry a medical aid code.

  Why Medical Skin Care is Important

  A reason why doctors had previously refused to entertain skin care products in their rooms was because ‘normal’ over the counter ‘cosmetics’, irrespective of price, ‘beautify’, soften and moisturize outer dead skin with no therapeutic action within the deeper layers, so are unable to ‘treat’ skin problems. One of the greatest problems in South Africa, and doctors are faced with on a daily basis, is pigmentation. What safe options are there for the doctor to offer patients who in most cases have spent fortunes on cosmetics which promise the earth?  Deep adulteration of the skin in most cases can result in exacerbation of an already distressing problem.  For years RégimA has most successfully and safely treated hyperpigmentation with home care, including the most potent Vitamin C pigmentation products, coupled with, in doctors rooms or in salon, Peel & Heal treatments, providing the safest eradication of pigmentation.

  Another major concern in harsh climates is the incidence of skin cancer.  This can affect even the very young.  The youngest skin cancer I have personally seen was 16 years old and the youngest I have known die was 18.  Treatment options have been liquid nitrogen, laser therapy and surgery.  Medical skin treatments like RégimA ‘Peel & Heal’ offer a gentler alternative, safe to use all year round and with regular treatments helps prevent recurrence.

  One of the most neglected areas within clinics is scarring. Every medical practitioner is confronted by patients with scarring whether it is surgical, traumatic or burns.  Most people at some time in their lives have to deal with a scar.  It must be stressed that scars can never be removed completely.  Scar formation is the normal way for the body to repair itself.  The way it is treated from day one, however, dictates whether one is left with a flat, mature scar or a lumpy unsightly scar.  The old wives tale of tissue oil being the answer has been the only option that many doctors have given their patients.  Plastic surgeons have for years been taping scars with microporous tape following suture removal.  This has been found to support the wound, helping to prevent stretching and lumpiness.  However, most patients require more help in order to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing scar.  This is where a medical skin treatment is essential in order to promote more rapid scar maturation with healthy collagen synthesis and a resultant more aesthetically pleasing end result.

  RegimA Cosmeceuticals –  # 1 Choice of Leading Plastic Surgeons

  Medical skin care enhances medical and surgical treatment.  More and more South African doctors are becoming aware of the benefits of stocking cosmeceuticals within their rooms and working with skin care professionals.   This trend started many years ago in the USA, initially mainly in anti-ageing and laser clinics, and benefits doctors, therapists and patients.  More clinics are now focusing on overall care offering for example Natural skin peels for patients who may not be candidates for laser therapy or deeper chemical treatments and there is greater emphasis on anti-ageing.  Internal medication in the treatment of certain diseases or skin conditions is essential and can be helped by topical application of actives which work synergistically.  A prime example of how this synergy of internal and topical treatments works is with the acne treatment, Roaccutane.  This treatment is extremely successful in treating severe acne but can, in certain cases, have side effects. These can be eliminated by topical application of RégimA cosmeceuticals which a doctor can prescribe in combination on initiation of treatment, alleviating potential trauma both physiological and psychological.

  RégimA has been manufacturing a cosmeceutical medical skin treatment range for plastic surgeons, dermatologists, other medical practitioners and skin care professionals for many years.  We at RégimA know from experience that it is critical to total care that patients be offered pre and post operative skin treatments if they are to achieve the most favourable end result.
