The Non Surgical Clinic - Harley

Mild chemical peels work on the superficial skin and quickly and easily remove the dead outer layer, resulting in improved skin tone and reduction in the appearance of age spots and very fine lines. Deeper and medium depth chemical peels require some healing time, but work well to reduce the appearance of deeper lines and wrinkles, and work well on acne scarring.

At the Non Surgical Clinic we use TCA peels (trichloroacetic peel). By removing the superficial skin, TCA peels remove blemishes such as acne scars, correct pigment problems (melasma) and smooth out fine surface wrinkles. Treatment are relatively painless but patients can sometimes experience a slight burning sensation once the chemical is applied and it is normal for the face to turn slightly red. The treatment can be done within 15 minutes to an hour and should be repeated once a week for a month. As there is no downtime for this treatment it can be performed in a lunch time. Immediate results are seen and build with each of the four treatments completed.

Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are based on hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the bodys connective tissue, and are used to reduce

As this is a simple, non-surgical wrinkle relaxing treatment, the recovery time is minimal. Dermal fillers can be used to rejuvenate multiple problem areas by restoring the natural contours of your face and lips and smoothing away unwanted wrinkles.

Your lips are one of the most important features of your face and say so much about you. Scientists have known for decades that lips which are naturally full with a defined shape are considered sensual and attractive.
As time goes by, lips naturally lose their volume, appearing thinner and less defined. Wrinkles and fine lines can alter the smooth look of your lips further, and compromise the shape of the vermillion borders and cupids bow. The corners of the mouth may even turn down, giving a tired and aged appearance.
If you have always wished for fuller and softer lips, then treatment with an advanced dermal filler may be for you.

Dermaroller Therapy is a natural skin rejuvenation treatment that utilises advanced skin-needling. Skin needling stimulates the skin and prompts regeneration and repair. This process has been shown to stimulate collagen production from within and is therefore a naturally occurring process. The result of this regeneration is the creation of smoother, brighter, healthier, younger-looking skin.

The Dermaroller is a barrel like roller comprising tiny micro-needles which are rolled across the skin creating tiny pin pricks that encourage this rejuvenation and collagen production, filling out wrinkles and depressed acne or surgical scars.

Before the treatment, a topical anaesthetic is applied to numb the skin, making the procedure comfortable. It normally takes up to 30 minutes for the treatment and a course of 4 treatments at 3 month intervals is recommended. The treatment can be used alone or in conjunction with other non surgical skin rejuvenation treatments such as chemical peels.

Medical microdermabrasion is performed by exfoliating the skin using a handset that delivers a controlled flow of very fine, medical grade crystals - these are vacuumed away at the same time, taking with them any dead skin cells and impurities. This process leaves behind softer and smoother skin, while also stimulating the cell renewal process. Although the action of the hand piece is gentle, the exfoliation also stimulates the epidermis into the production of collagen, which slows down the effects of ageing.
