The Wellness Clinic

There is much adage about how joined-up thinking is far better than standing alone: many hands make light work or we are better together. And surely it is that simple. The more expertise means more reliable information which means better delivery. When great minds meet…

Skincare company NYDG was built with just this in mind. Conceived by a multi-disciplinary team from the American Academy of Dermatology Board Certified Dermatologists, Internal Physicians, Aestheticians and Chemists in order to make a skincare brand designed for all ages. There is, after all, no substitute for hands-on experience coming together.

Founded initially in 1996 by dermatologist, internist and author Dr. David Colbert, New York Dermatology Group started as a state-of-the-art skin care centre in the heart of New York City. It enjoys a global reputation for excellence in advanced dermatology, an international pioneer of minimally invasive cosmetic services. NYDG is acclaimed for its cutting-edge skin rejuvenation methods, technologies and treatments.

They also have a product line that is simple to use and designed for active lifestyles, NYDG skincare promotes healing and repair. Skin sensitivity is increasing, all too often self-inflicted through overly aggressive products. This adage has been much repeated here. Don’t over complicate your skincare, if you do, you could actually do more damage than good.

All of our skin has a natural PH balance of 5.5 so ideally we want to use products that don’t destroy it. Gentle is Far better than harsh…always.

There have been massive gains in skincare technology. Understanding the science of it has come so far in less than 15 years, however, protection, healing via maintenance and anti-aging has come so far from the radical introduction and use of technology in skincare. It’s all about where science can help.

NYDG has succeeded as a brand, so alongside its skincare rich in antioxidants that are vegan paraben-free and not tested on animals, it partnered with London store, Harrods, to open the wellness clinic.

The Wellness Clinic brings together world-renowned experts – both permanent and visiting – from the fields of wellbeing, aesthetics, dermatology and lifestyle. Offering a holistic range of signature services from cryotherapy and acupuncture to nutrition and spiritual healing, it’s the ultimate one-stop destination with treatment plans tailored to the individual.

Integrative beauty where a technological approach sits with holistic and even spiritual exercise is the most interesting phase existing right now, where mind, body and soul all meet.

“The Wellness Clinic is our approach to this, so that’s the best of the aesthetic beauty world, combined with a much more holistic approach to beauty and treatments,” Harrods said.

Under the medical direction of Dr. Papageorgiou an award-winning facial aesthetic surgeon and Dr. Costas Papageorgiou, part of the New York Dermatology Group (NYDG) who specialises in aesthetic procedures for the face using minimally invasive techniques, they offer signature rejuvenating treatments. NYDG’s approach is to customise treatment plans, implementing 3D imaging and cutting-edge technologies to achieve the most natural results possible.

NYDG is offering a wide range of treatments including facial aesthetics, NYDG signature facials, and NYDG body remodeling. An exclusive selection of its treatments for the face and body are offered at The Wellness Clinic at Harrods in London.

In January 2017 The NYDG product line was introduced to the market and 1% of proceeds supported the work of their foundation to aid projects around the world.

Their foundation provides real support on the ground level for those in need. For example, on January 12, 2010, a 7.0 magnitude scale earthquake hit Haiti. On January 14, 2010, Dr. Colbert traveled to Haiti to assist with emergency medical care and in April 2010 he partnered with the Hanger Sabel Foundation to establish a clinic to provide prosthetics for post-op amputees from the Haiti earthquake. Since August 2010 NYDG Foundation supports Wilfrid Macena with Team Zaryen, a Haitian amputees soccer team. The team is a harbinger of hope and traveled to Rome to meet Pope Benedict XVI, on the five-year anniversary of the earthquake.

The NYDG Foundation is a global network of experts, with influence and resources, who come together to improve medical wellness. Their mission is to deliver on-the-ground education, prevention and relief to humans in need.

This IPL FDA-approved (Intense Pulse procedure Light) treatment lasts one hour and targets redness and brown spots, most clients experience no downtime. The majority of CO2 Cryotherapy patients benefit from enhanced radiance in one session and increased treatments of oxygen are tailored to each circulation for the patient’s needs whilst outcomes depend on the degree of laxity possessed and rate of clearance of toxins from the body’s response to ultrasound energy.

The Photobionic waves (photo-bio-stimulation process) promote cellular repair. The regenerative impact of this procedure manifests over several months to achieve a natural-looking result. Clients treated with Ultherapy continue to enjoy the results from the deeper muscular foundation of the dermis effects of (SMAS) renewed to the superficial epidermis. Patients can experience noticeable collagen within a year following treatment.
