Botox
Botox is a well-known brand name for a medicinal form of botulinum toxin type A, also known as onabotulinumtoxinA. The toxin is produced by a specific bacterium that causes the food poisoning botulism. When injected in small doses into specific muscles, Botox doesn’t poison you but acts as a muscle relaxant with effects that can last for several months.
There are three main types of wrinkles that can be treated with Botulinum Toxin:
- Frown Wrinkles
- Forehead wrinkles
- Eye wrinkles
Fat grafting
During fat grafting, fat is harvested by liposuction from a part of the body where it is unwanted and then transferred into an area to add volume or correct a contour problem. Advantages of fat grafting include using your own fatty tissues rather than a foreign body injectable and the added benefit of having liposuction remove fat from an area where you don’t want it.
Fat grafting to the breasts consists of two procedures performed on the same day: first harvesting the fat and then placement into the breasts. To begin, a substantial amount of fat is removed with a fine harvesting cannula connected to a small syringe. Then, the harvested fat is injected meticulously through four tiny 2-4 mm incisions using blunt infiltration cannulas. This is also called Lipostructure, Fat Transfer, Fat Grafting , Lipofilling, or Structural Fat Grafting.
This technique is able to create a long-lasting and natural result anywhere in the body. Read more.
Injection lipolysis
Phopsholight is used as an injection like Botox or Fillers in the submental/“double chin” region to dissolve fat away and improve the overall contour of the neck and jawline. Read more.
PRP skin rejuvenation
PRP is a natural product created from your own body. A small amount of blood is drawn from you and placed in a sterile tube that is spun down in a centrifuge to separate the different components of the blood. Red and white blood cells are divided from the platelets and the plasma (the clear fluid). This plasma now contains a higher than normal number of platelets and is called platelet rich plasma, or PRP.
Platelets are the cells in the blood that help tissue to heal and grow new cells. The PRP, injected into specific areas of the skin, act as a matrix that promotes your own collagen to grow, regenerates tissue, and thus acts as to naturally smooth and tighten the skin. In this way, PRP softens wrinkles and creating smoother skin texture and tone. Read more.
Laser treatments
Smile Eye Lift is a new laser treatment which can be used to treat the under eye bags. The treatment is non-invasive and it also helps you to get rid of undesirable photoaging, long-lasting muscle thinning and skin ptosis.
Fractional laser treatment is a non-invasive treatment that uses a device to deliver a laser beam divided into thousands of microscopic treatment zones that target a fraction of the skin at a time. This is analogous to a photographic image being enhanced or altered pixel by pixel.
Fractional laser treatment has bridged the gap between the ablative and non-ablative laser techniques used to treat sun-damaged and aging skin. Whilst ablative laser treatments work mainly on the epidermis (surface skin cells) and non-ablative treatments work solely on dermal collagen (mid-layer of skin) only, fractional laser treatment works at both the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin.
Fractional laser treatment is used for the treatment of:
- Facial lines and wrinkles
- Sun damage
- Acne
- Skin pigmentation associated with photoaging
- Surgical and acne scarring
Using fractional light to rejuvenate the skin can produce an effect that is perfectly graded to your expectations, and offers a degree of control and efficacy that allows for highly precise sculpting of the skin. Treatments can extend from light touch-ups to deep collagen remodeling, ideal for patients who want drastic rejuvenation effects, but are not inclined towards aggressive surgical or chemical alternatives. This treatment is suitable for all skin types and tones, with minimal patient downtime.
