Hello beautiful soul,
With the Higher Health Age Vita-Renew Facial (Limited-Time Offer)
Skin changes are not simply cosmetic — they are biological signals.
Dryness, pigmentation, fine lines, dullness and loss of firmness are often signs that the skin is depleted, inflamed, under-nourished, or experiencing collagen decline.
At Higher Health, we see skin through a functional, restorative lens.
Your skin is living tissue — and when we support its structure, hydration, circulation and renewal, it naturally becomes smoother, brighter and more youthful.
That is exactly what our signature Age Vita-Renew Facial is designed to do.

How This Facial Heals the Skin
At Higher Health, we use At Higher Health, we use Certified Organic Spa professional skincare, because we believe skin health begins with biologically active, clean ingredients — not harsh stripping or synthetic overload.
Your treatment includes:
1. Deep cleanse
Purifies without stripping the barrier.
2. Professional skin analysis
We assess hydration, pigmentation, sensitivity and ageing patterns to tailor your treatment.
3. Tailored AHA enzyme application
Gently dissolves dead cell build-up, stimulates renewal and supports collagen activity.
4. Antioxidant brightening mask infusion
Feeds the skin with protective nutrients to repair damage and even tone.
5. Deep lymphatic facial massage
Boosts circulation, reduces stagnation, and restores radiance.
This combination works to re-energise cellular activity — the true foundation of youthful skin.
Why Mature & Pigmented Skin Needs Targeted Renewal
As skin ages, several biological shifts occur:
Collagen production slows
Cell turnover decreases
Pigment regulation becomes uneven
Hydration declines
Antioxidant defenses drop
This leads to:
Fine lines
Pigmentation
Dull tone
Loss of firmness
Dryness
Thinning skin
The Age Vita-Renew Facial addresses all of these mechanisms by:
✔ Stimulating cell renewal
✔ Supporting collagen formation
✔ Delivering antioxidants
✔ Enhancing circulation
✔ Strengthening skin structure
✔ Improving hydration
This is why results look naturally youthful rather than artificially treated.
The Power of the AHA Rejuvenating Peel
A key component of this treatment is the gentle AHA resurfacing phase.
This step:
Removes damaged surface cells
Encourages fresh cell growth
Improves hydration retention
Smooths texture
Softens fine lines
Brightens pigmentation
It is responsible for that plump, hydrated, radiant finish clients love.
Visible Benefits
This facial helps reduce:
Age spots
Pigmentation
Uneven tone
Fine lines
Dryness
Dullness
And supports:
Healthy skin tissue
Stronger skin structure
Collagen integrity
Elasticity
Radiance
A True Anti-Ageing Facial — Without Aggression
Many anti-ageing treatments rely on harsh stripping, inflammation, or trauma.
At Higher Health, we take a regenerative approach:
We feed.
We repair.
We stimulate.
We restore.
Because truly healthy skin is always more youthful.
Why Pigmentation & Ageing Skin Often Start in the Gut
Our Age Vita-Renew Facial works powerfully to brighten pigmentation, stimulate collagen, restore hydration and visibly rejuvenate ageing skin.
By renewing the skin surface, activating cellular turnover and delivering concentrated antioxidants, this treatment can dramatically improve tone, texture and radiance.
For many clients, this facial alone creates visible softening of pigmentation, smoother lines and a more youthful, luminous complexion.
However, when pigmentation or premature ageing has deeper internal drivers — which is very common — combining professional skin renewal with internal support produces the most exceptional and lasting results.
In functional medicine, we see persistent pigmentation and accelerated skin ageing as signals of deeper biological stress.
Common internal drivers include:
Gut inflammation
Microbiome imbalance
Poor detoxification
Blood sugar instability
Oxidative stress
Nutrient depletion
Hormonal shifts
These internal factors directly influence how your skin:
Produces pigment
Repairs damage
Maintains collagen
Holds hydration
Responds to sunlight
Heals inflammation
This is why some pigmentation keeps returning — even with excellent skincare.
The Gut–Skin–Pigmentation Connection
Your gut and skin are deeply connected through what we call the gut–skin axis.
When gut health is compromised, several processes occur that drive pigmentation and ageing:
1. Increased inflammation
Gut imbalance raises systemic inflammatory signals that stimulate melanocytes (pigment-producing cells).
2. Impaired detoxification
The gut and liver work together to clear hormones and toxins. When sluggish, pigment-triggering compounds recirculate.
3. Nutrient malabsorption
Key skin nutrients (zinc, vitamin A, antioxidants, amino acids) may be poorly absorbed, reducing skin repair capacity.
4. Oxidative stress
Microbiome imbalance increases free radical load — accelerating collagen breakdown and pigment formation.
5. Hormone recycling
Poor gut elimination allows oestrogen metabolites to recirculate, contributing to hormonal pigmentation.
This is why functional practitioners often say:
“Pigmentation is rarely just a surface issue.”
Internal Causes of Pigmentation & Premature Ageing
From a functional nutrition perspective, the most common contributors we see in clinic include:
Dysbiosis (imbalanced gut bacteria)
Low beneficial bacteria (especially Bifidobacteria)
Intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”)
Sluggish liver detox pathways
Blood sugar spikes
Chronic low-grade inflammation
Low antioxidant intake
Protein insufficiency
Mineral deficiencies (zinc, selenium, iron)
These factors accelerate:
Collagen decline
UV sensitivity
Uneven melanin production
Skin thinning
Glycation (skin ageing from sugar damage)
Healing Pigmentation From the Inside Out
When we support gut, liver and nutrient status, skin behaviour changes.
Clients often notice:
Pigmentation softening
Tone evening
Improved brightness
Better healing
Increased hydration
Stronger skin structure
Reduced sensitivity
Because the skin is finally receiving what it needs biologically.
Key internal strategies include:
✔ Restoring microbiome balance
✔ Reducing gut inflammation
✔ Supporting liver detox pathways
✔ Stabilising blood sugar
✔ Increasing antioxidant intake
✔ Ensuring adequate protein
✔ Correcting micronutrient deficiencies
This is the foundation of true skin healing — not just cosmetic management.
The Higher Health Inside–Out Skin Approach
At Higher Health, we combine:
Professional skin treatments + Functional nutrition & gut repair
Because lasting skin change happens when internal and external care work together.
This is why many clients see the best pigmentation improvement when facial therapy is paired with gut and nutrition support.
