After years of flawless skin, at the age of 40, I found myself with pigmentation on my cheeks. Given I have Indian skin, I was extremely nervous about the various treatments available, particularly laser.  A friend recommended Dermamelan, as it is suitable for my skin type. I went for a Consult with Rose Bonasera at Elixir Skin Fitness. Rose was extremely thorough, took photos of my skin to send to Dermamelan to ensure I would be a suitable candidate for the treatment. She took me through the entire process, the timeframes for improvement and the expectations.

The days following the treatment, I was freaking out a little about my skin’s reaction… Even though it had all been explained to me, I needed extra assurance! At all times, Rose was prompt to respond and gave me the confidence I needed that all was normal! I saw Rose on a weekly basis for a month following the treatment (at no cost). Her commitment to monitoring my results was exemplarily! As, for the results, I can now leave the house with little to no make-up. It has improved my self-confidence and I am so happy I took the step to undergo this treatment. Thank you Rose for your special care and support to assist me with my pigmentation issues. I would recommend Rose to anyone who has pigmentations issues – she is a specialist in the field, so you can count on the right treatment option for you.

I have been seeing Rose at skin elixir fitness for approximately 18 months. When I first met Rose, I was extremely self conscious about my skin due to pigmentation and scarring on the sides of my face which I have had for the past 18 years. Over the years I had visited many different skin specialists across Adelaide, Sydney, New York, London and Toronto who had all told me that unfortunately due to the colour of my skin and Indian background, they couldn’t do any treatments to assist or try fix my concerns due to the risk of further pigmentation. After first meeting Rose, she looked carefully at my skin and told me she could help me with my concerns and she was confident we could get a fantastic result using medik8. This was something I had never heard before! Her confidence made me believe in her and instantly know I was in good hands. She was extremely professional and her clinic also felt warm and inviting and the level of organisation and cleanliness in her clinic also made me feel I had found a true professional who could help me. Since using the medik8 range I have noticed a drastic difference in my skin pigementation in which the darkness has improved and and also the size of the pigmentation spots. This has mainly been through the use of the white balance brightening serum. Rose also introduced me to the retonate intense serum which has really helped to smooth my skin overall allowing me to have a much smoother texture which overall has improved the look of my face. These have probably been my favourite two products so far, closely followed by the pore refining toner which has created a change in the overall size of the pores on my nose and also around my scarring and pigmentation which again, with overall better skin has increased my confidence to a level I never thought possible since before I was always worried that people were judging or focusing on my skin. I have found Roses high level of knowledge about the products she uses and recommends to be wonderful. Every product she has recommended has worked well on my skin and has been repurchased due to the great results I have seen with it. I have never once felt that she has sold me a product ‘just because’ or ‘to make a sale’, which I have often found with other clinics. Rose is a professional with a genuine care for her clients and their needs at the forefront. Never did I ever think I would feel so confident about my skin as I do right now. After being teased in high school for my pigmentation and further comments made in my young adult life, it has been a huge self esteem issue for me, but Rose has turned that completely around for me and I now proudly show people where the pigmentation and heavy scarring used to be, just to show them how much progress has been made and how good my skin looks now!

Rose has changed my whole perception on skin health. She has provided me with the necessary information and valuable knowledge on all things associated with skin and how to implement positive changes into my life that have ultimately helped my skin and gut health. Through my time with Rose, I have been exposed to many Medik8 products to achieve desirable results at different stages of my journey. I love how the range can be tailored to an individual’s needs, and that the wide product range has ultimately allowed for advancements in my skin health overall. Having sensitive skin, my favourite product would have to be the Micellar Mouse. It is a staple product that I know at any stage of my journey I can use and my skin will not be affected by it. My current skin regime on Medik8 works great. It has taken quite a bit to get here but Rose’s persistence in achieving excellent results coupled with her faith in the brands she uses [in my case, Medik8] have assisted in the most desirable outcomes. One of my favourite attributes of Rose is her ability to actively listen to her clients’ needs, wants and concerns. She will not do anything in her clinic that will advance her needs, without having her client’s best interest at heart.

Rose has been treating my skin since 2011 & up until I met Rose I thought facials were just a time to be pampered rather than an effective, anti – ageing regime which over time actually have significant results. Since working with Rose I now feel more confident, more radiant, and less a victim to unpredictable outbreaks of my skin. My skin has moistened & tightened & people are surprised I’m 40. I love the education & confidence Rose has given me in both the products & the treatments & I would not hesitate to put complete trust in her to gain the results in your skin whether it be to reduce the blemishes, wrinkles, oil or to tighten & pause the aging process. Rose is outstanding in her knowledge, skills & has a genuine passion to achieve the results you seek. I wish more people knew of her.

I was delighted when Rose decided to start her own business in 2014 and I’ve been a client at Elixir Skin Fitness since Day 1. Aging is challenging in so many different ways.  As a 67 soon to be 68 year old, I want to look my best and a regime of healthy eating, regular exercise and good skin care is my way of keeping ahead of game and making sure I look as good as possible for my age, without fillers, without Botox, without the knife. Rose has made a tremendous difference to my skin over the last 5 years.  Most importantly she started me on Medik8products with Vitamin C and sunscreen in the morning and Vitamin A at night becoming my regular routine.

• I love the fact that Medik8 is Ethical and 100% animal cruelty-free.
• I love the fact that Medik8is simple to use. I’m a busy person and don’t have hours to spare in using multiple products.
• I also love the fact that Medik8is only sold by well trained professionals like Rose so I’m guaranteed expert advice that is 100% relevant to my skin.

My favourite Medik8products are SuperC30+ Intense Vitamin C, Crystal Retinal 10 Night Serum and Liquid Peptides.  These are my ‘go to’ products and they keep my skin looking fabulous. Over the last 5 years my skin has got better and better.  Pores reduced, hardly any wrinkles and a brightness that allows me to go without a heavy cover makeup base.  I constantly get comments about my skin and I have to give credit to Rose in guiding me on salon treatments and at home skin care with Medik8. I’ve learnt a great deal from Rose.  In particular that a good diet goes hand in hand with good skin and very importantly to invest in good skin care products that have a proven track record. Thank you Rose and thank you Medik8.
