Oxygen Gas Skin Therapy

Oxygen is the most important molecule for our good health. It is used by every single cell in your body for metabolism. Medical experts use pure Oxygen to improve the health of skin cells, including helping burn victims to heal. The knowledge gained from research in this area has been developed into a skin rejuvenation process.

ECHO2 are innovators in cosmetic skincare with the application of pure Oxygen gas delivered directly into your skin with essential vitamins & minerals to boost cellular metabolism. This process dramatically increases the health of each cell and also boosts collagen production, rebuilding your skin from the inside out.

The ECHO2 skin therapy from the USA utilises pure Oxygen gas. This world first patented technology combines the benefits of oxygen gas with vitamins & minerals to dramatically rejuvenate and regenerate the skin. ECHO2 information can be found here.

Heritage Healers introduced the ECHO2 system to the Australian professional beauty industry back in 1998, high performing skin care formulations with natural therapies. This unique combination brings together the latest cosmetic technology - with our Heritage - the ancient knowledge of the traditional Aboriginal Healers. The Heritage Healers solutions are available at Simply Wellness.

This very effective therapy offers solutions including Facials, Acne treatment, post IPL & Laser treatment, Facial rejuvenation holistic program, post Operation and a Cellulite treatment program. It is not uncommon for a client to look up to 10 years younger after their initial facial treatment!

These pictures, taken with a "Woods Lamp Camera" show before (on the Left) and after the Youth Elixir Oxygen Facial, (on the Right).

The "Woods Lamp Camera" uses an ultraviolet lamp to show the hydration state of the skin. Areas of darker appearance have low hydration, whilst the lighter areas show improved hydration.

As you can see from the before and after pictures (after one treatment) the Heritage Healers Youth Elixir Facial has a dramatic improvement in skin hydration.

Cellulite is a normal bodily process, so for many years science did not research treatment. This meant that theories of treating cellulite were many and generally treatments were hit and miss affairs. Before we look at effectively treating cellulite, what is it and why does it afflict women?

Cellulite is the change in skin texture that results in an orange peel appearance to skin. Men and women differ in how they store their skin fat and where they store it. In men the connective tissue fibres (made of collagen) that support their subcutaneous fat (just under the skin) have small pockets and are criss-crossed providing good support. Unfortunately for women, the collagen that supports their fat stores is mostly structured in large pockets and run at right angles to the skin’s surface. Women naturally carry more body fat than Men & it is stored on their hips and thighs.

Your body fat is used to safely store toxins until your body can purge them. In a healthy state, toxins are deposited & removed from the fat stores by efficient circulation and lymph fluid systems. If this process slows, then as the levels of toxins stored in the skin fat accumulates the connective tissue support structure becomes hardened due to less efficient circulating fluids and pulls down on the surface of the skin which results in a rippled or buckled appearance.

When this condition starts to develop it also leads to a constriction of the vessels that drain the lymph fluids and also eventually constricts the supply of nourishing blood. This situation further hardens your supporting collagen and leads to more toxins becoming trapped. As more fat and toxins are stored they accumulate causing a protrusion into the surface of the skin worsening the dimpling effect. Your supporting collagen becomes harder and less flexible, more constriction of the lymph channels develops and so the condition snowballs. Cellulite affected areas also have damaged skin with low hydration and poor skin health.

Cellulite and body fat are not the same, although the layer of fat under your skin (the superficial layer) is involved in developing cellulite. This superficial layer is hard to budge by a weight loss program only. Therefore, exercise and weight loss do not eliminate cellulite. Many women who exercise regularly and follow healthy diets still have cellulite.

As you can see to be effective a cellulite treatment program will need to provide solutions in each of the following areas. A coordinated treatment program addressing multiple areas has far more success at providing an effective cellulite cure.

Increase blood and nutrient flow to the affected area.
Remove inflammation and stagnant lymph fluids.
Reduce stores of toxins in the superficial fat layer.
Stimulate the production of collagen to regenerate connective tissue.
Provide a healthy exfoliation with removal of dead skin cells.
Re-hydrate & repair skin cells to produce a healthier dermis (skin) layer.
Reduce free-radical damage and protect the cells.
Assist with a strategy to reduce stored body fat.
Promote healthy water intake, good nutrition and moderate exercise.

Our Cellulite Program incorporates multiple treatments into a 3 or 5 week holistic program that is designed to reduce Cellulite.
