Sun Damaged Skin

WRINKLES

Wrinkles are a natural part of ageing and most prominent on sun exposed skin. Pollutants and smoking contribute to wrinkling. Several treatment options are available to help smooth them or make them less visible

CHEMICAL PEELS

Chemical peeling is a technique used to improve the appearance of the skin. In this treatment a chemical solution is applied to the skin which causes the skin to get rid of undesirable changes that may have taken place, like pimples, pigmentation, wrinkles etc on the face or any part of the body. Chemical peels are also effective in treating plane warts, fungal nails, and dandruff.

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.

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.

BOTOX

Botox is the brand value of an injection given in small doses in to muscles to correct specific problems. It blocks the impulses from the nerve to the muscles and hence relaxes the muscles.

It is used for dermatological and aesthetic procedures.

Eliminating frown lines between eyebrows, horizontal forehead lines, crow’s feet or smile lines around the eyes, neck lines corners of the mouth.

Facial Slimming

Sagging brows

Migraine

Excessive sweating or Hyperhidrosis – The treatment works by blocking the nerve signals to the sweat glands making them inactive.

Hydradenitis Suppurantiva – The antisweat effect of botox in hairy areas reduces bacterial growth and this contributes to the efficacy of botox as an adjuvnant treatment mode in hidradermitis suppurativa.

Balding scalp has relative insufficiency of blood flow. Blood vessels travel through the muscles. Once botox relaxes the muscles, blood flow to the scalp increases thereby increasing delivery of the nutrients to the hair which in turn promotes healthier hair growth. This will work only if hair follicles are still alive.

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.

AGE SPOTS

They appear on areas of the body that is sun exposed such as face and hands. They can be prevented by regularly using sun cream. They can be lightened or removed.

INTENSE PULSED LIGHT

This skin treatment also called IPL delivers high intensity pulses of light that heat the sub surface layers of the skin which stimulates the production of collagen or reduces melanin. It is referred to as photofacial and is not a laser treatment. It is effective in treating acne, acne rosacea, age spots, and also in hair removal.

LASER RESURFACING

MICRODERMABRASION

CHEMICAL PEEL

CRYOTHERAPY

It is the use of extreme cold to treat many skin conditions. It can remove abnormal tissue like warts and skin tags. Superficial cryotherapy is used for treating alopecia , plaque psoriasis, lichen sclerosis, prurigo nodularis.

SKIN LAXITY

Skin laxity is due to progressive loss of skin elasticity and deepening of skin folds which is due to loss of collagen.

RADIOFREQUENCY

The non-ablative radio frequency procedure stimulates collagen and elastin formation by increasing the tissue temperature. The results are temporary but it works on all skin types and can be used for face, neck, arms, hands and body contouring. Infrared light can be combined with bipolar radio frequency to remodel the deep dermal layer of the skin.

MICRONEEDLING

HIGH INTENSITY FOCUSED ULTRASOUND

HIFU uses concentrated waves of ultrasound energy to remodel/body collagen and tighten body tissues. It gives lift without cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin. It bypasses the surface of the skin to deliver energy at optimal depths. It uses ultrasound imaging which allows us to see the layers of the tissue being treated ensuring that energy is delivered safely to where it is most beneficial. Initial effect is seen right after treatment and keeps improving over 2-3 months, gradually lifting and tightening skin on the face and neck and smoothing skin on the chest. It is also used for tightening and contouring body parts. It helps to treat under eye area and double chin.

FILLERS

As we age, our body starts to lose the collagen which cause volume loss and laxity. Skin becomes thinner, loses its elasticity and starts to sag. Softening of facial lines and restoration of fullness in the face can be achieved non surgically with injectable fillers.

Fillers can enhance shallow contours, soften facial creases and wrinkles, restore volume in the area around the eyes, sculpt the jaw line, improve the appearance of recessed scars and improve symmetry among facial features. Lip fillers can give more volume to a thin lip, better shape, improve the pout, up turn the down turned corners of the mouth to give a happy smile, lighten the color of the lips and correct crooked lips in individuals who have acquired it due to various causes.
