INJECTIBLES
Botox:
This injectable targets dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. By temporarily paralyzing specific muscles, Botox smooths out existing wrinkles and helps prevent new ones. Results usually appear within 3-7 days and last for 3-4 months. It’s a quick procedure with minimal downtime, though possible side effects include mild bruising or headaches.
Dermal Fillers:
Fillers restore volume to areas that may lose fullness with age, such as the cheeks, under-eye area, and lips. They also smooth out nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Immediate results are visible, and effects can last from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used. While generally safe, some swelling and bruising may occur post-treatment.
RADIOFREQEUNCY
Thermage employs RF energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production which leads to tighter, smoother skin over time. This method is effective for facial rejuvenation, including the face, eyes, and neck, and is also used for body contouring and reducing cellulite. The procedure involves minimal discomfort and no downtime, with results developing over several months and lasting up to 1-2 years.
Microneedling Radiofrequency (MNRF) combines microneedling with RF energy to enhance skin rejuvenation. Tiny needles create micro-injuries in the skin while RF energy is delivered into the deeper layers. This dual-action stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture, tone, and firmness. MNRF is particularly beneficial for treating acne scars, wrinkles, and sagging. Like Thermage, MNRF offers minimal downtime and gradual results. Consulting a qualified dermatologist can help determine the best option for your skin concerns.
ULTRASOUND
Ultherapy is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure that utilizes focused ultrasound technology to lift and tighten the skin non-invasively. This treatment targets the deep layers of the skin, including the dermis and underlying fascia, using precise ultrasound energy. The ultrasound waves generate heat at specific depths, stimulating collagen production and initiating a natural healing response.
This process helps to rejuvenate and firm the skin without the need for surgery. During an Ultherapy session, a specialized device emits ultrasound energy through the skin’s surface, bypassing the outer layers to reach deeper tissue. Patients may experience mild discomfort, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated and requires no downtime. Over the course of 2 to 3 months, the body’s collagen-building process gradually improves skin elasticity and tightness, leading to a more youthful appearance. Ultherapy is popular for its effectiveness and minimal disruption to daily life.
PDO THREADS
Threadlift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging skin using specialized threads. During the procedure, fine, absorbable threads made from materials such as polydioxanone (PDO), poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), or caprolactone are inserted into the deeper layers of the skin with a fine needle. These threads are strategically placed to provide an immediate lifting effect and stimulate the body’s natural collagen production as they gradually dissolve.
Threadlifts are commonly used to enhance facial contours, including the cheeks, jawline, and neck. The procedure typically involves minimal downtime, with patients often resuming normal activities immediately. Results become more apparent over several months as collagen builds, offering a natural, youthful appearance. The effects generally last up to 1-2 years, depending on individual factors and the type of threads used. Consulting a skilled practitioner is essential for optimal results and safety.
