Chemical peel treatment will help in achieving a smoother texture of the skin and a more uniform colour. Chemical Peels can also be designed to reduce excessive sebum on the skin, helping with present active acne. After undergoing a chemical peel immediate pinkness of the skin, giving it a rosy glow for the first two days is to be expected. The skin feels tighter and possible darkening of the skin can happen on the 2nd or 3rd day post treatment. Dryness and itching of the skin are very common, and the Doctor can recommend a specific cream to help in the healing process. Peeling or flaking of the skin can start on day 3 or 5, and might continue for 7-10days (this depends on the strength of the peel). If any impurities are present under the skin these can appear on the surface and a break out of small white heads may become visible. This will clear in the following days, and it usually does not take more than 1 week.

Dermal fillers, are injected into areas of facial tissue where moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds occur. The product is based on hylauronic acid, which is an ingredient that is already found in our body. It temporarily adds and restores volume lost to the skin and subcutaneous tissues, may give the appearance of a smoother skin surface and may help smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Correction is temporary, therefore, touch-up injections as well as repeat injections are usually needed to maintain optimal correction. The results may last as long as 12-18 months.

This treatment treats the symptoms of severe sweating underarms, soles of feet or palms of the hand. 

​

This treatment has the ability to block the secretion of the chemical responsible to induce sweating.  In this way sweating is temporarily stopped from the area where it has been injected.  The medicine is injected just below the surface of the skin.  It is administered with tiny needles and require relatively little time.  One can easily return back to work post treatment.  The client is asked to refrain from intensive exercise or the use of sauna for three days post treatment. 

The effect will last between 4-6 months. 

he Emerge™ Fractional Laser is a laser system that delivers precise pulses of laser light energy that is absorbed by a chromophore (target) in the skin.  Laser skin treatments are performed on acne scars, fine lines, stretch marks and pigmented lesions, such as lentigos and solar lentigos. The sensation of laser light is sometimes slightly uncomfortable. The treated area may be swollen immediately after treatment and generally resolves within 24-48 hours, but may last up to three to five (3-5) days or longer in some clients.  Using the right products after a treatment may help reduce discomfort and swelling.

A prior consultation is booked during which the Doctor will explain further the treatment, procedure, indications, expected results and possible side effects. 

Micro-needle roller treatment targets open pores, fine lines, acne scars, stretch marks and it re-texturizes the skin. Micro-Needle roller treatment is also called Collagen Induction Treatment. The roller is rolled on the skin creating microscopic punctures on the surface of the skin. The increased blood underneath the surface of the skin, together with collagen growth factor induce skin regeneration. This will stimulate new skin to be formed improving initially the texture of the skin, and secondly the depth of any present scars. The SkinRolla dermaroller is made from medical grade titatnium alloy. A topical anesthetic cream is applied 45 minutes to 1 hour prior to the treatment to be more comfortable during the treatment. Repetition of the treatment is key depending on the skin's texture, however 8 weeks need to pass prior to the next treatment. In this way the skin is given time to heal and regenerate properly. 

A thread lift can help lift the face without invasive surgery – inserting threads through small punctures to the skin which later become invisible - and can be used anywhere on the face where a gentle lifting is desired. 

This procedure is best suited to patients with mild to moderate sagging of facial tissues, usually those in their mid-thirties to fifties. The areas which can be treated with a thread lift include the outer brow, the cheeks, naso-labial (nose to mouth) and lower eye areas, the jaw line for jowls, and the neck for sagging skin that is sometimes referred to as “chicken neck”. Most patients will not need all these areas treated at once, although this is possible. The results of this procedure lasts up to 2years.

Common areas for treatment in younger patients are the cheeks and brows since they are the first areas of the face to start to sag. As you age the lower half of the face begins to sag as well. If there is a significant amount of redundant or sagging skin, often seen in older patients, this procedure would not be suitable and a traditional mid-face, face or brow lift operation may be recommended in order to remove the excess skin, therefore achieving a better result. The threads leave virtually no scars, are simple to insert, and have minimal down time. 

Post procedure there could be bruising and slight swelling, which usually settles in a few days. Recovery is generally quick, with most patients returning to work the next day or after a few day’s rest.

Microsclerotherapy is a technique of injecting thread or spider veins with a special substance known as a "sclerosant", usually a solution called sodium tetradecyl sulphate that causes swelling in the veins wall. If the vein is small enough, the swelling will destroy the vein over several weeks, making it much less noticeable or even invisible. Microsclerotherapy is normally used for the treatment of leg thread veins and is rarely used for the treatment of facial veins, where laser treatments are often favoured, owing to the small possibility of scarring that can occur.

During the consultation an ultrasound doppler is done to make sure there is no back flow from the veins which may result in an unsatisfactory treatment. 

There is usually minimal or no discomfort during microsclerotherapy injections due to the size of the needle and the superficial injection technique. Following injections compression stocking are applied which may be worn for three weeks post procedure to help assist shrinkage of the thread veins. A follow up is booked 2 weeks from the procedure. During this session the are might be treated again, either with the sclerosant or with Laser. The final follow up is booked 8 weeks from the first procedure to evaluate the final result.
