DERMAL FILLERS
What are dermal fillers? Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected under the skin. They are meant to create a smoother and/or fuller appearance and last between 9 to 14 months. The FDA regulates dermal fillers as medical devices. Dermal fillers are injections that plump up wrinkles and smooth lines on your face and restore volume to enhance your facial features and gain a more youthful appearance.
BELKYRA
Belkyra is a non-surgical treatment that targets and reduces stubborn fat. It’s a procedure where a series of injections are used to break down the fat cells and it’s injected to the fat pad. Belkyra can be applied for double chin as well as abdomen, thighs, arms, etc. Overtime, the body naturally eliminates those fat cells, resulting in a more defined outcome. It’s a great option for patients who want to get rid of their stubborn fat without going under the knife!
THREADLIFT
Thread lift is a non-surgical face lifting procedure that can help you achieve a more youthful and lifted appearance. During the procedure, we use collagen based PDO threads that are strategically placed under your skin. They help to lift and tighten sagging skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Thread lift provide some immediate results, and the effects continue to improve over time as the threads stimulate collagen production, plus, there is minimal downtime involved, so you can get back to your routine quickly.
RADIESSE
Radiesse wash is a very effective treatment in improving skin quality and appearance. I deal for us with dehydrated or wrinkled skin tissue. This is different to Radiesse being used as a conventional dermal filler as the wash works on the products enhanced collagen generating qualities. The procedure is carried out by using Radiesse in a highly diluted form. The diluted Radiesse product is gently injected into the facial neck areas you want to treat. This will enhance collagen production which in turn rehydrates, increases the elasticity of the skin thus improving the skins complexion, radiance and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Can be used for face, neck, décolletage, and hands.
PROFHILO
Profhilo is an injectable skin bio-remodelling treatment that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin and helps to significantly improve tissue quality. Following a series of two Profhilo treatments you can expect to see and feel increased firmness and improved elasticity of the skin in the treated area. Profhilo is unlike a filler treatment, it contains high levels of Hyaluronic acid, which is also naturally occurring in our skin, and this helps your skin look more hydrated, plump, fresher younger looking and improved overall skin tone.
SCULPTRA
Sculptra activates the skin’s ability to produce collagen, restoring the skin’s structure and renewing its natural firmness. Collagen is a fibrous protein in the deeper layers of your skin and is key in making your skin look young and healthy. As you age, your body’s collagen. production decreases. The loss of collagen will in time lead to loose and saggy skin and the formation of facial wrinkles and folds.
Sculptra is the original collagen stimulator that will renew your skin in a gradual and long- lasting way by stimulating collagen production. Sculptra gives you control of your skin and the power to look as great as you feel.
