Rose Bonasera - Your Dermal TherapistDirector Elixir Skin Fitness
I believe in developing a strong partnership between myself and my clients, which helps keep my clients motivated and disciplined with skin treatments and skin nutrition, and together we are able to achieve outstanding results.

A little bit about us and what we do…

My Number One Skin Recommendation

I’m Rose, Dermal Therapist and Director of Elixir Skin Fitness in Adelaide. Working in the Skin Health industry for over 20 years, if I could give anyone tips with regard to Skin Health, there would be two.

The one condition with Skin that I can honestly say is on the increase, it’s hyperpigmentation, the main driver being hormones and the main trigger is sun exposure. And I am on a mission to make sure my clients manage it in the best way possible so they can have the clearest complexion for their skin.

Two absolutely mandatory products I always recommend is firstly a tyrosinase inhibitor, a serum based product, that interrupts the hormonal stimulation and transfer of melanin (pigment) in the cells. White Balance Click by Medik8 is a favourite of mine, the main ingredient Kojic acid known for its efficacy in managing hyperpigmentation. The second product I recommend is Sun Protection! A daily 30+ or 50+ SPF sunscreen to stop the stimulation from the Sun that triggers that Melanin production process known as Melanogenesis. Mesoestetic Dermatological 50+ SPF is outstanding at protecting the skin from sun exposure.

The secret to any improvement a client would like to see in their skin is Choice! The choice clients make in their therapist, get to know him or her and ensure they have the right educational background and qualifications to give clients the best advice, so choose wisely.

About Me

I am the Director of Elixir Skin Fitness with over 20 years experience in the Skin Care Industry. I am highly trained and experienced in Dermal Therapies and Laser Safety, I am industry based and I have also lectured in Beauty Therapy at the Institute of TAFE. My continual dedication to my own education, personal growth and development has enabled me to obtain an excellent understanding of the elements necessary to create long term changes with the skin and provide solutions that suit my clients’ individual needs so they can look and feel their best always. I am very passionate about the industry I am so fortunate to be a part of and am more in love with my job now than ever before.

My Strengths

My strengths lie in expressing my creativity in finding solutions for a diverse range of skin conditions, such as Acne, Acne Scarring and Scar Revision, Ageing, Pigmentation, Sun Damage, Skin Rejuvenation, Wrinkle Reduction, Skin Resurfacing and Collagen remodelling. It gives me great pleasure to educate my clients on the best way to create long term change with their skin on a cellular level, have a positive impact on their self-confidence and well being, bring out the best in them and have a lot of fun at the same time.

What We Do

At Elixir Skin Fitness the goal is to provide you the client with sophisticated, state of the art medical grade treatment modalities and skin care products/nutrition. My creativity and understanding of the perfect combination of skin treatments and ingredients, means I am able to look after my clients on a very individual and personalised level – no two skins are alike – and create individualised programmes to suit.

The Philosophy

The clinic’s philosophy is to remain results driven – there is nothing fluffy about it! Give you the client personalised customer service which enables me to get to know your skin, provide you with the best possible solution to retrain your cells, with fast results and in the safest and most affordable way possible. The goal is to keep my clients looking younger as they get older.

The Mission - To Bring Sexy Back!

The Mission at Elixir Skin Fitness is to become each client’s very own “Personal Trainer for their Skin”. As most of us are already aware of the importance of consistency with an exercise – including cardio and resistance training, combined with the correct diet and nutrition to create a physical and chemical change in our body shape and strength. Elixir Skin Fitness applies the same principles to the skin – it is no different!!

Medical Grade Treatments

With the perfect individualised combination of consistent machinery based treatments (the exercise!) and the necessary skin care ingredients/nutrition (diet and nutrition!), create the perfect formula to retrain your skin’s cells which in turn creates chemical and physical change! This is the formula that is applied in the clinic, that has been proven to work and gives the therapist and the client complete satisfaction.

Australian Association of Dermal Clinicians

Elixir Skin Fitness is a member of the Australian Association of Dermal Clinicians. The ASDC represents Dermal Clinicians that are dedicated to ethical and evidence-based practice, as well as maintaining ongoing education. The ASDC is a collaborative network of members that are clinical practitioners, educators, academics, researchers and industry representatives or associates. The ASDC encourage research and evidence-based practice to achieve optimal outcomes for clients, as well as advocating on behalf of the industry and consumers in maintaining standards in safety in all aspects of dermal practice.

The Gut and Skin are Connected

Good bacteria in the skin and digestive tract are connected.

The skin contains good bacteria (approx. 1000 different types) also known as microflora and for them to flourish they need a slightly acidic environment. Our skin is naturally acidic at a pH of 4 – 4.5. This also allows for proper balance of nutrients, less fine lines and wrinkles, supports hydration and reduces the risk of sun damage.

Reduction of the level of the skin’s pH by using the incorrect type of cleanser causes inflammation, the growth of non-beneficial bacteria and accelerated skin ageing. Our gut flora in the digestive tract, if imbalanced also has an effect on the acidity of our skin. If the skin reaches a pH of 6 – 6.5 because of the imbalance in the gut it creates a perfect environment for the acne bacteria to flourish on the skin and cause breakouts.

Elixir Skin Fitness creates a holistic approach to skin health to help clients have the understanding how to stay looking and feeling younger for longer.

Try Us Out!

I encourage you to give Elixir Skin Fitness a try – yes it is different, yes it is new, yes it brings sexy back! Your skin will never be the same, in time everyone you know will want to know what you have been doing. The results will speak for themselves!

DMK Enzyme Therapy

Enzymes are living substances that regulate health and work with certain minerals in the body to form a natural system of antioxidants that fight corrosive free radicals. Properly formulated, they can remove dead protein, toxins and other effluvia from the epidermis using a process called ‘reverse osmosis’. Where some cosmetic facial treatments may only act on the surface of the skin, enzyme treatments work with the skin.

How We Retrain Your Skin

Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical safe and gentle procedure that deeply exfoliates and polishes the skin to stimulate new cell growth. Using a gentle vacuuming system and diamond tip, microdermabrasion removes dead skin cells and unclogs pores.
Epidermal Levelling is the hybrid of hair removal with a microdermabrasion. This new and improved technology has the ability to instantly transform your skin into a glowy and healthy texture with immediately visible results. Dermal Therapist Rose uses a combination of treatments to finish of the procedure ensuring your skin is left with a long-lasting result.

Epidermal Levelling also known as Dermablading involves the latest insight into peeling, utilising enhanced exfoliation. It is a manual exfoliation procedure using a straight edge surgical blade/scalpel against the skin to exfoliate the epidermis. Effectively, Epidermal Levelling removes the top layers of dead skin cells and any vellus hair present on the skin. This treatment involves no downtime and does not cause any pain towards the patient. Epidermal levelling is available for all skin types, although a thorough consultation is recommended before this treatment can be commenced.

Epidermal Levelling delivers clients with immediately noticeable results. Immediately after the treatment, the lightness of the skin can be observed. Levelling ultimately is used to even the overall skin texture as well as reducing hyperkeratinised build up. This treatment has also been designed to increase the absorption of active products. In addition, it thins and compacts stratum corneum, increases firmness and elasticity in the skin, minimises fine lines/wrinkles as well as minimising sun damage and hyperpigmentation.

Enzyme Therapy is designed to encourage the skin to function optimally. Enzymes are living substances that regulate health and work with certain minerals in the body to form a natural system of antioxidants that fight corrosive free radicals. Properly formulated, they can remove dead protein, toxins and other effluvia from the epidermis using a process called ‘reverse osmosis’. Where some cosmetic facial treatments may only act on the surface of the skin, enzyme treatments work with the skin. The enzymes aim to strengthen the structural integrity of the skin to create a healthy environment for cells to live and thrive in.
The Regul8 Digestive Tune-Up is a herbal-based three-step process that cleanses, soothes and repairs the gastrointestinal system. The process has been formulated to address intestinal overgrowth and repair the linings of the digestive tract to generate the appropriate environment for the good bacteria to flourish. DMK EFA Ultra supplement provides the full group of essential fatty acids 3, 6, 7 and 9 designed to support vibrant looking skin, internal health and overall wellbeing.
Plasmage has been developed to treat delicate areas safely, like upper and lower eyelids, where lasers and radio surgical units cannot. Plasmage delivers plasma energy to the skin via the handpiece tip, generated by the ionization of the gas in the air. It is a device for non-invasive treatments and can treat many aesthetic and dermatological indications, including Blefaroplasma (non-surgical blepharoplasty), Wrinkles, Xanthelasma, Acne, Scars, Lentigo, Fibroma and Verrucas.
A safe, non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasonic (sound wave) technology, warmth and motion energy to significantly increase the depth and rate at which treatment products are absorbed into the deeper layers of the skin. It is suitable for all skin types and delivers excellent results. These two treatment modalities combined provide an effective treatment for fine lines, wrinkles, acne, blackheads, congestion, epidermal pigmentation, open pores and rejuvenates dull, tired skin, including hands.
Dermamelan is an effective depigmentation treatment against the stains of Melasma. Works in a non-cytotoxic way, inhibiting the production and the transference of the melanin pigments. It produces a chemical superficial exfoliation, allowing the attenuation and/or elimination of the superficial hyper pigmentation on various depths. A strict protocol is mandatory to achieve best results.
Chemical Peeling consists of the application on the skin of exfoliating agents to obtain first, destruction and then regeneration of part of the epidermis and/or dermis. Chemical Peels produce a controlled wound that will result in renewal with the reduction or disappearance of sun damage, pigmentation, acne lesions, fine lines, wrinkles and superficial depressed scars. Depth and results depend on the strength and agents used. Elixir Skin Fitness provides a choice of Lactic Acid, Salycilic Acid, Glycolic Acid and Vitamin A peels dependent on skin diagnosis.
Medical Needling, also known as Percutaneous Collagen Induction, is a method of dermal needling which uses very fine surgical stainless steel needles to create micro channels into the epidermis and dermis, to release growth factors that promote scar less healing and the deposition of normal woven collagen, rather than scar collagen. Dermapen is excellent for skin tightening, lifting, rejuvenation and scar revision. Used successfully on acne scars, surgical scars, wound healing, alopecia, fine lines, wrinkles. It also minimises pore size and reduces the appearance of stretch marks.
Omnilux was developed after 12 years of extensive scientific research funded by Cancer research UK through Photo Therapeautics Ltd. Omnilux technology is based on narrowband Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). The different heads treat a wide range of dermatological conditions including acne, photo damage, non-melanoma skin cancers, skin rejuvenation, vitiligo and wound-healing post elective surgery. The technology works because cells within the body contain receptors that absorb light naturally. When the body is exposed to light, these receptors absorb the light waves and kick start the mitochondria (the power house of the cell) responsible for the cells energy. Different wavelengths of light will stimulate different cellular responses within the cell.

“You will be hard pressed to find anyone more dedicated to you!”

“Rose is a professional in her field and has a wealth of industry knowledge. This wealth of knowledge and commitment to continuous education treatments are first grade and focused on your health and wellbeing.

Rose is unique, beautiful to the core. One visit and you will know exactly what I mean. Elixir Skin Fitness – do it!”
– Racheal

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.

Marie
There are many reasons why I go to Rosie not only because she is knowledgeable but also the marvellous treatments one receives. The calming, caring and professional ambience. Her ability to advise and listen to one’s concerns resulting in a very educational and fun experience.
Richardene
I have been seeing Rose for quite a while now and you are always greeted with a beautiful bubbly smile filled with warmth and genuine enthusiasm . Her dedication and passion in this industry is giving her clients the very best of skin care treatments and advice making them look good and feel good about themselves she has certainly made me feel so good about myself and confident with her expertise in skin care treatments and advice – would not see anyone one else xxxx.
Andrea
Rosa has been my Facial Therapist for a long time now and I only have wonderful words to describe her treatments. I plan my day so I can enjoy her magic fingers & her magic potions, my skin says thankyou and I fairly float out the door on cloud 9 – she’s the best!
Margaret
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.
Natalie
Rose is an exceptionally talented skin therapist who understands the individual needs of her clients. During the last two years Rose has mentored me to achieve a better balanced lifestyle and healthier vibrant skin. I have found Rose to be dedicated, passionate and supportive throughout all procedures and interventions. I love the fact that Rose takes a holistic approach to beauty, health and wellbeing. Rose always understands her clients and puts their needs first! I am excited that Rose will now be able to continue her individualised treatments in her own clinic! Congratulations Rose, you deserve ongoing successes, you’re a gem!
Lina
I had the pleasure of receiving treatments from Rose consistently over the last 6 months for the treatment of acne/scarring. Rose has transformed the overall appearance and health of my skin dramatically and is unlike any other beauty therapist I have met – an amazing woman that goes above and beyond ordinary beauty therapy and is passionate about skin health and strives for results. More than just a skin therapist, her ongoing support and advice has been a major positive influence on my life in general. I look forward to receiving further treatments from Rose at Elixir Skin Fitness and encourage anyone interested in improving their skin to do the same.
