Environ® products and treatments at Spire Little

Who should use Environ?
Why is Environ so effective?
Salon treatments
Environ products are used both to prevent and to
treat photo-damage, problem skin, pigmentation and
scarring. The products are suitable for children, men
and women. By the age of 18, 80% of photo damage
is sustained so Environ is recommended for young
people from the age of 10 onwards. It is also used as an
effective pre and post-operative treatment by plastic
surgeons for cosmetic surgery patients: vitamins A and
C promote normal cell growth, optimising the health of
the skin and minimising any scarring following surgery.
Homecare products are prescribed following a
consultation with an Environ therapist because within
most ranges, the key ingredients are, almost uniquely in
the beauty world, included in increasing strengths. This
allows the user’s skin to be introduced gradually to the
powerful benefits of high doses of vitamin A without
suffering a reaction. The therapist can recommend the
products with the appropriate level of activity to suit
each individual’s skin condition or problems. Most of
the products are fragrance free and contain no artificial
colorants. Environ avoids adding preservatives to
products during manufacturing, except for just a few
where it has been essential to do so.
Environ’s luxurious Ionzyme active vitamin treatments
are suitable for all skin types. A combination of pulsed
galvanic current (iontophoresis) and low frequency sound
waves (sonophoresis) are used to enhance the penetration
of the essential ingredients by up to 40 times compared
with manual application. Treatment with vitamins A and
C works on the skin in the opposite way to peeling, laser
resurfacing or dermabrasion (which makes skin thinner
and artificial looking). Application of active vitamins
makes the skin thicker, healthier and more beautiful.
These aspects help make the products suitable for even
the most sensitive skin.
Environ professional treatments give a younger looking,
finer textured, firmer skin. They are designed to benefit
all skin types - even sensitive. The process of promoting
healthy cell renewal is particularly beneficial to photodamaged, dehydrated, scarred and pigmented skins.
There are also ultra-light peeling treatments for
problem and thickened, photo-damaged skins.
Specialised treatments for frown lines or for skin
hydration are also available.
Collagen Stimulation Therapy™ is also available using
Environ’s professional micro-needling tools that increase
growth factors in the skin with results that promote
collagen and elastin, reducing scarring and fine lines.
Treatments give smoother skin without the damage
or downtime associated with laser or deep peeling
treatments, with superior lasting effects, and even better
in conjunction with vitamin topical products.

Environ® products
and treatments at
Spire Little Aston Hospital
The Environ philosophy is that by protecting our
skin from UV rays, pollution, bad diet and stress
we can help to prevent premature ageing and
maintain a healthy, beautiful skin for a lifetime.
Environ normalises skin, providing true skincare to
rebalance every type from oily to dry, at any age.
What is Environ?
The Environ range of face and body products, for
homecare and professional use, has been developed
by Dr. Des Fernandes, a respected South African
plastic surgeon. His concern about the depletion
of the ozone layer and the increasing incidence of
skin cancer led him to research the most effective
ingredients to protect healthy skin at an early age
and to manage the increasing problems associated
with photo-damaged skin.
Since 1987, Dr Fernandes has stressed the need
for daily replacement of a “brigade” of vitamins
and antioxidants in the skin that are destroyed by
exposure to light. He has been one of the pioneers
in the use of vitamin A and the antioxidant vitamins
C, E and beta-carotene – as a means to normalise
and protect the skin. Dr Fernandes was the first
person in the world to introduce vitamin A in high
doses in cosmetic creams.
The Environ range comprises product formulations,
where the ingredients are included on the basis of
pharmaceutical and medical scientific evidence.
What retail ranges are offered?

and beta-carotene, sunscreens and
pro-vitamin B5 (panthenol); plus

action where required, and for
specific problems, such as mature,
heavily sun-damaged or very dry skin.

complexes of skin enhancing and
anti-ageing ingredients; also includes
specific Focus Frown and Hydrating

featuring antiseptic Australian tea
tree oil and mild exfoliant salicylic
acid (a ßeta-hydroxy acid).
Evenescence
Products to help reduce and

melanin formation, but also prevent
its transfer to the cells which are the
building blocks of skin.
Sun Care
RAD Antioxidant Sunscreen SPF15 UVA & B protection boosted further
by free radical quenchers C, E and
beta-carotene, plus titanium dioxide
sun reflectant; RAD Spray SPF25

photo-stable sunscreens and potent
protective natural extracts: barley
seed and lycopene, Alpha Day Lotion
SPF15 to promote a fine textured

Roll-CIT and Focus-CIT
Revolutionary face and body tools
for use at home or in the salon,
designed to dramatically increase
the effectiveness and penetration of
anti-ageing ingredients. Using the
hand-held roller or the little ‘stamp’
uses scores of tiny stainless steel
needles to create superficial 0.02
mm micro channels in the horny
layer that normally protects the
skin. Regular use stimulates healthy
renewal of the skin, restoring its
tone, softening fine lines, helping
eliminate stretch marks, and helping
to reduce the appearance of scarring
and pigmentation.
