Heliocare - The skincare range for advanced skin regeneration

AesthetiCare - provider of clinically effective anti-ageing and appearance-enhancing devices and dermo-cosmetic products - is pleased to bring you Heliocare, advanced anti-ageing UV protection.

As the aesthetic professional’s UV protection range, Heliocare, is the only sun protection range to contain Fernblock™ Photoimmunoprotection Technology. Fernblock™ is a natural plant extract clinically demonstrated to protect skin from the harmful effects of UVA and UVB radiation. It goes beyond traditional photoprotection focused on sunburn only, and includes four new levels of protection including immunoprotection to activate the skin’s defences before, during and after sun exposure, cellular DNA protection to inhibit the formation of cells linked to cancer, anti-oxidant activity to help slow the ageing process, and preservation of skin architecture to prevent structural changes in the dermis.

Sun or photo-damage is caused by ultraviolet radiation (UV) in the forms of UVA and UVB. UVA makes up 95% of UV and penetrates deep into the dermis and damages skin. UVB only penetrates the upper epidermal layer of the skin and is more prevalent when the sun is out. Heliocare targets both UVA and UVB rays. The Heliocare range includes:

• NEW Heliocare Oral capsules (60 capsules) – Provides proven sun protection from within using the unique Fernblock plant extract to protect the skin from UV damage. Clinical studies show they help reduce skin reddening, skin ‘sunburn cells’, DNA damage, and symptoms of prickly heat.
  
  
• Heliocare Silk Gel SPF 30 (40ml) – Designed for everyday lifestyle use. It provides advanced UVA anti-ageing protection, and a silky smooth feel on the skin
  
  
• Heliocare Cream SPF 50 (50ml) – Specifically designed for normal and dry skin on a daily basis, it provides high level UVA/UVB protection with a moisturising feel
  
  
• Heliocare Gel SPF 50 (50ml) – Oil-free, easy to apply formulation that is suitable for everyday use. Particularly suitable for combination, oily and spot-prone skin and provides an elegant feel and look to the skin.
  
  
• Heliocare Spray SPF 50 (125ml) – Ultra-smooth spray sunscreen that is suitable for all skin types. The light touch formulation encourages use on any exposed areas of the body.
  
  
• Heliocare Compact and Oil Free compact SPF 50 Light/Brown (10g) – Facial foundation that provides advanced UV protection with skin tone enhancement and correction. The creamy smooth make-up enables daily use and is ideal for use after aesthetic procedures. Available for normal and dry skin, or for oily and spot prone skin.
  

Darika de Bacq Rose of the Blemish Clinic in Middleton says "I use the HCgel and compacts every day which I definitely think helps patients to realise that the products I suggest are personal recommendations and that I’m not trying to sell them rubbish. I absolutely love the stuff and get great feedback from my patients who use it too."
