Cryotherapy, or Cold Therapy, is a treatment that capitalises on our body's response to very cold temperatures. Research has found that cryotherapy can help your body's tissues repair. It can either be used topically to remove skin issues (such as warts), or used to boost your body's regenerative abilities. While we do not offer cryotherapy in our clinic, we do offer a 'minimal effective dose' of cold therapy. We offer our Cryo Globes in Ireland with fast delivery. We have found these to be excellent for improving skin tone. How Cryotherapy Can Improve Your Skin's Tissues Cryotherapy works because low...
As we're seeing the first hints of summer approaching, we may be thinking about what we can do to prepare. One of the issues we've all had with lockdown is being unable to prepare for the summer in our usual way. We all know that winter is the best time to receive laser hair removal. But since we could hardly go outside the door it just wasn't an option. With luck, we'll be back to our usual routines sooner than later. So let's keep a positive outlook and think about what we can do today to look forward to tomorrow....
A standard cryotherapy facial sounds slightly terrifying. Liquid nitrogen is poured over your face and left there for a few minutes. The worry is, of course, that liquid nitrogen (which is -196 Celsius), putting the recipient at risk of frostbite and permanent damage in the most sensitive part of your body. But while these more extreme temperatures may be problematic, there is growing research on the benefits of cold therapy. This is what started our interest in Cryo Globes. Cryo Globes are all about the "MED", or 'minimum effective dose'. What is the minimal amount of cold and the minimal...
There really is such a thing as nutrition for your skin. It's important to have the right products for your skin, but it's also important to eat the right things and sometimes to be careful of the things that aren't so good for your skin. At MediGlow, we've spent years testing different protocols, regimens and products to find out what is the most effective solution for a given skin concern. Many brands infuse their products with vitamins such as Vitamin E and K because they really do help, even when applied topically. That's one of the reasons why we love...
At MediGlow, we love bath products that work with your body. What we really care about is getting your skin healthy from the outside in.

When used right, tanning products can go a long way to bringing out your skin's natural qualities. As a laser and skin clinic, products that are good for your skin (or at least not harmful!) are essential to us. So it's for this reason that we've become stockists of Lusso Tan. Lusso provides a great range of products which, as they put well themselves, 'free your inner glow'. Preparation is Key It's important to have a good pre-application routine to keep your skin healthy and vibrant and ensure your products are applied correctly. A good scrub or exfoliator that you...
For many of our clients, cruelty-free moisturiser and other products are a must. We are big advocates for cruelty-free products, and we also understand those of our clients looking for the absolute best quality ingredients for their skin. This is why we have been big fans of Skingredients Sun Protection Factor as well as their moisturiser. Thankfully, over the past two decades the EU has been increasing restrictions on animal trials and testing, and in the last decade (since 2013) all product and ingredient testing on animals has been banned in the EU. And, in fact, it's no longer allowed...
