Bee Queen Anti Ageing Firming Treatment & Cream:

New Zealand Bee venom is a popular and natural alternative to Botox, reportedly used by many international celebrities to freshen and firm the skin on the face and neck, including Kate Middleton, Victoria Beckham, Michelle Pfeiffer and Gwyneth Paltrow.
BeeQueen contains organic New Zealand bee venom and organic New Zealand Manuka honey in a convenient 50ml consumer travel size.

About Bee Venom:

Bee venom is well known for its therapeutic effect as a medicine and now as a beauty product. In large quantities venom is toxic, however in small quantities it is a potent medicine and antioxidant. It improves blood circulation, well being and supports the immune system. Bee venom is a unique multi-component compels, which contains about 30 biologically active compounds, including peptides and protease inhibitors.

How Does It Work:
Used topically the bee venom in BeeQueen stimulates your skin to produce collagen and elastin, the building blocks to younger, firmer looking skin. The cream also contains organic NZ Manuka honey, lavender, tea tree oil and shea butter to smooth and calm the skin.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How is the bee venom extracted?

The bees are not harmed during the extraction process. A glass plate, which carries a light electrical current, is placed at the entrance to the hive. The bees sting the glass but because they cannot penetrate the surface, they do not lose their stings, therefore are perfectly safe. After a few minutes the electrical current is stopped and the beehive resumes its normal activity.

How quickly can I expect results?

Most people will notice a firmer, plumper skin after approximately three weeks. The product must be used on a regular daily basis to maintain maximum benefit. The longer you use it, the better the result.

Can anybody use this?
BeeQueen is suitable for all skin types. For sensitive skin, apply once daily and build up gradually to twice daily. Do not use if your skin is sensitised, with broken skin, rash or spots. Store in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children.

Are there any side effects?

There are no known side effects but we do not recommend use if you are allergic to bees. Those with a known bee allergy may still be able to use this product but we recommend you conduct a patch test first.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is PRP and how is it used?
This latest technology in skin rejuvenation, uses your own cells derived from your blood, these are then re-injected into the skin to stimulate collagen and new skin cells.
PRP is an aesthetic treatment that uses the healing potential of your own blood to bio-stimulate skin cells. PRP uses the richness of growth factors and the process of stem cells stimulation to regenerate and revitalise damaged skin. Platelet Rich Plasma a concentrate of platelets in a small amount of autologous plasma, obtained from your own blood. Your plasma contains fundamental growth factors released by activated platelets to initiate the tissue regeneration process. Because all components of PRP are autologous, the risk of immunological reactions or contamination with transmissible diseases is eliminated.

Where does the PRP come from?
Your blood is rich in these red blood cells, white blood cells, and plasma. We only use the plasma portion of your blood. Then a special process is used to obtain the PRP. You only receive treatment with your own cells. Preparing PRP is an easy, safe and quick process.

What can I expect?
PRP activates the tissue regeneration process by
Stimulation of new collagen production.
Induction of mesenchymal (connective tissue) stem cell division
Stimulation of angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels.
A vibrant, fresh youthful skin and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles; due to the new collagen formation.

What does the treatment involve?

A small collection of blood is taken and processed to give us the plasma required for your treatment. This plasma is then injected into your skin, much like having other cosmetic injections. Blood is collected from you in special tubes and is centrifuged 5-10minutes. PRP is then ready for its application – intradermal injections for volumetric corrections and bio stimulation of skin cells. Direct injection of PRP into the dermis supports and accelerates the process of tissue regeneration and reconstruction. Your skin should still continue to improve with time following your treatment program. Results take around 2-3 weeks to see and a series of treatments is recommended. Full consultation required

Is PRP safe?
PRP is 100% your own cells (autologous) and therefore there is no risk of allergy, or rejection. PRP is inherently safe.
Other things you should know:

Not all grades of wrinkling or skin laxity can be improved and may require a combination of treatments. Smoking and alcohol consumption shortens the life of the new cells.
Individual results may vary due to personal health and lifestyle variants.
