Treatments for Skin Ageing & Fine Lines
Skin needling/Derma pen
Skin Needling is an organic way of rebuilding collagen elastin.
The tiny needles create microscopic channels into the skin causing a controlled wound which forces the body to promote healing in the affected area.
This wound healing response is what stimulates new collagen and elastin formation which then assists with plumping out fine lines, wrinkles and acne scarring.
Skin Needling also increases cell renewal which assists in the normalising of dysfunctioning pigment cells for a clearer, more even skin tone and texture.
Skin peels
Skin peels are a very cost effective and powerful treatment for improving the look and feel of the skin.
When properly administered peels can offer some of the best non-surgical rejuvenation results. They remove cellular build-up, stimulate skin regeneration and reduce wrinkles, fine lines, large pores and oiliness. They also help clear blemishes, treat hyperpigmentation, and improve the skin’s overall texture and tone.
Peels can be used on anyone of any age to treat conditions such as acne, scarring, hyperpigmentation and enlarged pores. They are also excellent anti-agers as they speed the turnover of cells (which slows with age) and stimulate elastin and collagen production, the skin’s main proteins (which diminish with age).
Essentially, a peel is the removal of damaged layers of cells using specialised acid and enzyme solutions to reveal fresher more youthful skin.
Radio Frequency / Ultrasound
Body Contours uses medical grade Focused Radio Frequency and Ultrasound Venus Legacy™ the only medical machine using the 4D technology, which is certified by the American FDA as a non-surgical method for treatment of lifting for the face and neck and tightening loose body skin The 4D™ technology is an unique combination between the known and proven methods – multipolar radiofrequency (RF), pulsing electromagnetic field (PEMF) and the innovation – VariPulse (VP), completed by an integrated thermometer for analysis of the skin – RealTime Thermal Feedback. The combination of those energies in one platform makes a revolutionary break and sets a new standard in aesthetic medicine.
Botox and DermaFillers
BOTOX® and other fillers and injectibles are skin rejuvenation cosmetic procedures designed to reduce the signs of aging by diminishing frown lines, forehead creases and other facial lines.
Since its FDA approval in 2002, Botox injection has turned into one of the most widely performed cosmetic procedure in the world and the No. 1 non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the US.
BOTOX® is a purified protein injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crow’s feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck. Botox injections soften and relax wrinkles by preventing facial muscles from contracting.
Visible results of Botox Cosmetic are usually seen within 3–5 days, however it can take up to 2 weeks to see full results; the effects may last up to 18 months.
Dermafiller is a cosmetic filler that corrects moderate to severe facial folds or wrinkles. It is clear gel that contains hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists in the human body.
Sun exposure, laughing, worrying and even smiling can lightly damage the tissues that make up our faces.
Almost anyone may be a good candidate for injectable treatments such as BOTOX® or Restylane®.
Collagen Stimulators are injected into the dermis or subcutaneous layer, filling the spaces where collagen has been lost. The newly-produced collagen provides a structural framework to hold hyaluronic acid and elastin and helps restore the dermis. Hyaluronic acid attracts water molecues to the dermis and restores skin moisture. Elastin provides elasticity and helps the skin stretch.
Dermal filler is made of a biodegradable, non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (NASHA). Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in all living organisms and provides volume and fullness to the skin.
