Scar Reduction

MICRONEEDLING

DERMAROLLER

The Dermaroller is a hand-held device with a cylindrical roller equipped with medical grade solid steel or titanium microneedles. The device is used in a multi-directional fashion (vertically, horizontally, and diagonally) directly over the skin. Microneedling leads to the release of growth factors which stimulate the formation of new collagen (natural collagen) and elastin . In addition, new capillaries are also formed. Dermaroller treatment is done for treating Acne Scars, Wrinkles, Pigmentation and Hair loss. This technique is very effective in treating under eye dark circles when combined with PRP.

DERMAPEN

It is a micro needling device which penetrates the deeper layers of the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response. The skin is oxygenated, lymphatic drainage activated, melanin production regulated, and collagen and elastin production stimulated resulting in smoother, even toned skin. The micro channels created by the derma pen can carry up to 80% more topical nutrients deeper in to the skin. Acne and scarring, pigmentation, enlarged pores, ageing and sun damaged skin, stretch marks and fine lines and wrinkles can be treated with the dermapen.

MICRONEEDLING RADIOFREQUENCY (MNRF)

It is also called as collagen induction therapy. It uses fine needles with radiofrequency current to create controlled injuries. This triggers new regenerated cells to form, due to the skins healing response. There is boosting of collagen and elastin production which helps to smooth out the appearance of the skin. This is used to treat scars and acne scars, pigmentation, hair loss, sun damaged skin, and skin laxity. Sylfirm X is the world’s first pulsed wave and continuous wave radiofrequency microneedling system. It helps in treating melasma, redness, hyperpigmentation, acne, acne scars, skin laxity and open pores, promotes scalp circulation, reduces stretch marks and minimizes wrinkles.

LASER RESURFACING

FRACTIONAL CO2

This is a laser skin resurfacing technique. It causes controlled dermal damage which stimulates new collagen production and remodeling of scar tissue. Immediately following the procedure a sensation similar to a sunburn can be expected. Peeling of the dead skin from the treatment area lasts 5 to 7 days and the skin gradually looks smoother with long lasting results. It is used to treat acne scars, traumatic scars, stretch marks, keloids, vitiligo, nail fungus, pigmentation and fine lines and wrinkles.

FRAC 1550 (ELLIPSE)

It is one of the newest skin resurfacing technology. The unique technology allows pulse time and energy to be set independently so that the amount of thermal damage can be controlled. It is used for the treatment of acne scars, stretch marks, surgical scars, fine lines and wrinkles.

PLATELET RICH PLASMA

PRP is blood plasma that has been enriched with platelets. As a concentrated source of autologous platelets, meaning it comes from the patient’s own body, PRP contains several different growth factors and other cytokines that promote tissue repair, capillary formation and collagen production. PRP can be used in isolation or as an adjunct to other procedures.

PRP has shown to stimulate dormant hair follicles and hence promote new hair growth.PRP can treat wrinkles, photo damage and skin discoloration in conjunction with other treatment modalities.PRP combined with fractional laser resurfacing improves cosmetic appearance of scars. Micro needling technique is used to allow greater penetration of the PRP to minimize the appearance of scars and stretch marks and improve melasma.

MICRODERMABRASION

It is a minimally invasive resurfacing procedure used to treat uneven skin tone/texture, photoaging, striae, melasma, and scars including acne scars. It helps to exfoliate the skin giving a refreshed appearance.

FILLERS

Fillers are gel like substances injected under the skin to improve the appearance of facial lines, facial sculpting and volume loss caused by age or certain medical conditions. They give a smoother and or fuller appearance. They are made from materials that the body eventually breaks down and absorbs. Hence the injection procedure may have to be repeated to maintain the desired effect.

Injectable fillers can

Soften facial creases and wrinkles

Enhance shallow contours

Improve the appearance of scars /acne scars Lips

Restores lip size and plump up the thin lips

Correct the shape of lips/drooping angles of mouth

Smooth wrinkles and hydrate lips

Pout can be created

Definition of lip borders

Under eyes - Natural aging process makes the skin around the eyes thin and wrinkled, It also looses volume creating dark circles, bags and hollows beneath the eyes. Fillers can be used to restore volume in the area around the eyes resulting in tighter firmer skin.
