ABOUT
Dermaviduals was developed in 1994 by Dr Hans Lautenschläger, an international leader in pharmacology and chemistry. Lautenschläger and his team developed a customisable brand designed to optimally maintain the natural skin barrier and treat the individual, rather than creating a blanket range of cosmetic products.
The ethos of the brand is centred in CORNEOTHERAPY. This scientific approach to skin care was first coined in the 1960s by dermatologist Professor Albert Kligman. Corneotherapy represents the preventative and corrective measures used to heal and preserve the uppermost layer of the skin: the stratum corneum. The health of this layer is compromised by various intrinsic and extrinsic factors of life, which leads to the common skin concerns we all experience. The corneotherapeutic approach preserves the skin's barrier defence with products that mimic the skin's cell structure and function.
Dermaviduals products are free from emulsifiers, perfumes, preservatives, mineral oils and silicones, and are formulated with a skin-identical composition and structure. The range includes over 40 different active concentrates, which are transported via an effective delivery system, allowing for optimal penetration through the skin's bilayers. I am able to blend bespoke products to treat your individual concerns, providing a solution to a multitude of issues, including:​
-
Dehydration & dryness
-
Acne & congestion
-
Excess oil
-
Enlarged pores
-
Eczema & psoriasis
-
Redness & sensitised skin
-
​Rosacea
-
Fine lines & wrinkles
-
Hyperpigmentation
YOUR TREATMENT
The beauty of Dermaviduals is its versatility. I rarely perform exactly the same facial twice. The SW approach is to customise each treatment to suit the skin in front of me, and Dermaviduals allows me to do just that.
​
Due to the brand's focus on Corneotherapy, the professional range does not include acid peels or any intensive treatments that would require downtime or specific aftercare. The aim will be will to restore balance to your skin barrier and address your individual concerns. This may include cleansing, gentle enzyme exfoliation, selected active serums and treatment masks.
​
When performing a bespoke facial I often combine Dermaviduals with Nimue Skin Technology and Celluma LED Therapy to enhance your results. Regardless of the brands used, I will always inform you of any homecare that I think will help maintain your healthiest skin.
