The elōs technology combination of infrared light, coupled radio frequency energy and vacuum causes deep heating of the fat cells, their surrounding connective tissue and the underlying dermal collagen fibers.
This type of efficient heating and vacuum stimulate the growth of new and better collagen and elastin which results in localized reduction in skin laxity, body volume, cellulite and an overall improvement in skin structure and texture.

Coolsculpting is a safe and non-invasive treatment that helps remove fat cells, giving you the ideal body shape you’ve always desired. This is the first and only FDA approved fat freezing system.

The treatment will be performed with the new and improved CoolAdvantage applicator on the targeted fat cells over a period of 35 minutes at a temperature of -11 degree centigrade. 

This cold exposure causes the fat cells to program its own death and our immune system removes the fragments of these dead cells and drains it away from the treated areas via our lymphatic system over the following 3 months. The fat cells in the skin are more susceptible to the low temperature that the other cells in the skin, thus resulting in the programmed death of the fat cells only.

ClearScan is a noninvasive laser treatment for unwanted hair that selectively emits a beam of light that is highly absorbed in melanin, a component within the follicle that gives hair its color, while at the same time sparing melanin the skin. For this reason, ClearScan is comfortable, safe and effective for all skin colors and even sun tanned skin, making it the treatment of choice for unwanted body hair.

The Mosaic is one of the latest fractional laser resurfacing technologies. It uses a patented scanning system for skin rejuvenation.

Fractional laser resurfacing for skin rejuvenation is popular because it produces more consistent skin-tightening results compared to other treatments. It is also safe and there is no down-time inconvenience for patients.

The laser delivers multiple, uniformly spaced microscopic laser beams that penetrate to the middle layers of the skin. This creates a microscopic column of skin injury that triggers a healing process in the skin. This healing process results in collagen remodelling, improved pore size, finer wrinkles and a more even skin colour tone.

It is an outer-to midepidermal laser peel that precisely removes a thin layer of skin to a selectable depth. MicroLaserPeel is an advanced clinical method to improve skin texture, tone and luminosity, and is easily customizable to each patient’s individual goals. Because only a thin layer of skin is removed, healing times tend to be very rapid.

Thermage is a non-invasive treatment for treatment of wrinkles and rhytides on the face. It is safe, no downtime and FDA approved. 

Volumetric heating causing denaturation and contraction of the collagen fibrils in the skin. This ultimately leads to the production of new collagen in the skin.

It is another non-invasive treatment to tighten the skin using focused ultrasound technology.

The focussed ultrasound waves spare the superficial skin of burns. The focussed heat injury of 60-70°C denatures and contracts the collagen fibrils. This leads to the production of new collagen over 4-5 months.

U.S FDA approved for the lift of lax submentum and neck tissue in 2012.

Low-level laser light is absorbed by cells and stimulates cell metabolism and protein production. Although the exact mechanism by which laser light promotes hair growth is still unknown, it appears to stimulate the follicles on the scalp by increasing energy production and by reversing miniaturization (the process leading to thicker hair shafts and a fuller look).
The visible red light is absorbed by the cells and the process of cell repair begins. One theory of how this works is that it stimulates the production of energy at the cell level; therefore, improving cell function. It is believed that LLLT may increase blood flow to the treated area as well.

Results vary from person to person but an improvement in skin texture and colour tone can be seen after just one treatment. After a programme of five treatments, you can expect an improvement in pore size, finer wrinkles, brighter skin tone and a smoothening of acne scars.
