What it is?

Dermal fillers are minimally invasive treatments that restore facial volume, reducing wrinkles and fine lines. Injected beneath the skin, these fillers—often hyaluronic acid-based—plump sagging areas, hydrate the skin by attracting water molecules, and enhance facial contours. They’re effective for smile lines, marionette lines, thin lips, and under-eye or cheek hollows. Results are immediate, improving as swelling subsides, and last 6 months to 2 years based on type and metabolism. Ideal for rejuvenating facial contours without surgery, dermal fillers offer subtle, noticeable enhancements with minimal downtime.

What to Expect

During treatment, the injector strategically places filler beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula. Discomfort is minimal and can be eased with numbing cream or local anesthesia. Results are immediate, though minor swelling or bruising may occur temporarily. Hyaluronic acid is naturally metabolized over time, requiring maintenance treatments to sustain results. Dermal fillers offer non-surgical facial rejuvenation, enhancing natural appearances based on individual aesthetic goals.

What is Neurotoxin Treatment?

Neurotoxin treatment is a cosmetic procedure that entails injecting a neurotoxin into muscles to temporarily paralyze them. This temporary paralysis helps to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and can also prevent certain facial expressions that contribute to wrinkle formation.

How Long Do the Effects of Neurotoxin Last?

The effects of the neurotoxin will eventually diminish, allowing the nerves to resume sending signals to the muscles, which will then start working or contracting again. Typically, neurotoxin lasts for about 3–4 months. However, the duration can vary, lasting longer for some patients (up to 4-6 months) and shorter for others (around 2 months).

How Long Does It Take for Neurotoxin to Work?

Your neurotoxin injections are fast and generally painless. Although the injections are administered directly into the muscle, you may not see immediate improvements in your skin. Don’t be concerned; it typically takes between two and eight days for the results to become noticeable.

What it is

The Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Facial combines cosmetic rejuvenation with minimal invasiveness. In this procedure, a small amount of the patient’s blood is drawn, typically from the arm, and processed to concentrate platelets, growth factors, and plasma—components rich in proteins that promote skin healing and rejuvenation. These are then either injected into or applied topically to the face, stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture. Commonly used to diminish fine lines and wrinkles and enhance skin elasticity and tone, the PRP facial involves minimal downtime. Patients may experience slight redness or swelling post-treatment, which usually subsides quickly. Results gradually appear over several weeks, making PRP facials a favored non-surgical option for a youthful skin appearance as part of a broader skincare regimen.

What to Expect

During the treatment, a microneedling device creates tiny punctures on the skin’s surface, allowing for better absorption of the PRP into the deeper layers of the skin. This process helps to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance overall skin tone and elasticity. Patients may experience mild redness and swelling immediately after the procedure, which typically subsides within a day or two. Over the following weeks, as collagen production is stimulated, patients can expect to see gradual improvements in skin texture and appearance, with optimal results becoming noticeable after several weeks. Aftercare typically involves gentle skincare and sun protection to support the skin’s healing and maximize results. PRP facials are popular for their natural approach to skin rejuvenation, offering long-lasting benefits for a radiant and youthful complexion.

What is PDO Threads?

PDO (Polydioxanone) Threads are a cosmetic treatment that involves the use of fine, absorbable threads made from polydioxanone to lift and tighten sagging skin tissues. This minimally invasive procedure is commonly used in the face, neck, and sometimes the body to rejuvenate and enhance the appearance of the skin. PDO threads are inserted beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula. These threads provide a mechanical lift to the skin. Over time, the threads dissolve, but before they do, they stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. This process can lead to improved skin texture, elasticity, and firmness.

1. Consultation: Your practitioner will evaluate your skin and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine if PDO threads are suitable for you and how they can be strategically placed to achieve the best results.
2. Procedure: The actual procedure typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. The area will be cleaned, and a local anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort. The threads are then inserted using a fine needle or cannula.
3. Immediate Effects: You may see an immediate improvement in the appearance of the treated areas due to the lifting effect of the threads.
4. Recovery: There is minimal downtime associated with PDO threads. Common side effects include mild swelling, bruising, and soreness for a few days post-treatment. Most people can return to normal activities almost immediately, although strenuous activities should be avoided for a short period as recommended by the practitioner.
5. Long-term Effects: As the threads dissolve over the next six months, they stimulate collagen production, which continues to improve the skin’s volume and texture. The lifting and firming effects can last anywhere from one to two years, depending on the individual’s skin condition and lifestyle.
6. Follow-up: A follow-up appointment might be recommended to assess the results and decide if additional threads or treatments are needed.

What Are Photofacials?

Photofacials safely and gently address skin imperfections, with results that improve over time as the skin thickens and becomes healthier. By directing pulses of light over the skin, the treatment penetrates deeper layers, repairing damage and preventing future signs of aging.

What to Expect

Treatments are fast, typically lasting around 30–60 minutes. During the procedure, your skin may become slightly red and swollen, which is a normal reaction. You might experience a slight sting and mild discomfort. Improvements will become noticeable in approximately 4–8 weeks.

What is Skin Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing precisely removes skin layer by layer through vaporization. This process eliminates the outer skin layer, known as the epidermis, and heats the underlying layer, the dermis. The heat from the lasers stimulates the growth of new collagen fibers, resulting in resulting in smoother and firmer skin.

What to Expect

The areas of the face to be treated are numbed with a local anesthetic, and general anesthesia may be used if the entire face is treated. A partial-face laser abrasion typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, while a full-face treatment lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours. Before the procedure, the treatment area will be thoroughly cleaned. Afterward, you may experience redness, swelling, itching, or stinging for a few days. Depending on the extent of the treatment, some people may develop what appears to look like a sunburn.

What it is: Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that combines micro-needling and radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen production, tighten skin, and improve overall skin texture and tone. This treatment can effectively address various skin concerns, such as wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, acne scars, and uneven skin texture.

What areas to target: Morpheus8 is ideal for any area that can benefit from skin resurfacing and subdermal renewal. The most commonly treated areas include the face, around the eyes, abdomen, thighs, legs, and buttocks.

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses thin needles to address various minor skin issues, such as acne scars, stretch marks, and wrinkles. This technique is effective for treating conditions that cause impressions on the skin, like acne. By promoting skin rejuvenation, microneedling can enhance the appearance and texture of your skin, reducing the visibility of stretch marks, scars, and wrinkles. Unlike some facial rejuvenation methods that use heat, light, or lasers, microneedling carries no risk of skin discoloration.

Laser hair removal uses selective photothermolysis to target and destroy cells containing high levels of pigment. Dark hair, which has a lot of pigment, absorbs the laser’s heat most effectively. This heat is then transferred to the hair follicles, disabling their ability to produce new hair growth.

Benefits:

• Popular alternative to shaving and waxing.
• Saves time compared to traditional hair removal methods.
• Targets specific hair areas precisely.
• Helps avoid awkward in between growth stages.
• Reduces the occurrence of ingrown hairs.

What is a CO2 Laser ?

CoolPeel® introduces a fresh approach to safely and comfortably delivering the benefits of traditional CO2 resurfacing treatments. By specifically targeting the superficial layer of skin tissue, it effectively removes damaged skin, revealing a rejuvenated and healthier appearance.

How Does it Work?

A CoolPeel® laser treatment uses the SmartXide Tetra CO2 laser, the latest advancement from DEKA, a leader in aesthetic technology. This laser controls its energy output with precision, delivering intense but brief pulses. This approach effectively resurfaces the skin superficially without the prolonged heat that could harm nearby tissues. This reduced heat is why we call it “cool”—it provides immediate aesthetic improvements with minimal downtime.

What is My Recovery time?

One of the primary advantages of CoolPeel® is its minimal downtime. After treatment, you may experience slight redness akin to a sunburn for a day or two, but it shouldn’t hinder your regular activities. As your skin heals, it might feel dry and develop a mild, scaly texture, so it’s crucial to maintain hydration.
