Anti Aging Treatment
- As we age our skin tends to lose its elasticity and starts to wrinkle and sag.
The Principle & Technology
- The skin is soft and bouncy during our youth because of two skin proteins found in the skin called elastin and collagen. These proteins keep the skin firm, repairs the skin and cause rejuvenation which is vital for the youthful appearance. As we age the production of these proteins slows down drastically and showing the signs of ageing.
- The aim behind the anti-aging treatment is to stimulate and increase the production of collagen and elastin – resulting in naturally firmer, bouncy and more youthful skin. However, the body is capable of producing the proteins only to a certain extent and age after which other medical-grade services come into play to produce similar results.
Thermage (Radio Frequency Technology)
- This skin tightening treatment uses radiofrequency technology to heat the skin. This in turn stimulates the production of collagen and aids in repairing and rejuvenating the skin. This procedure can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin, revealing – youthful, bouncy and smooth skin.
- The treatment may cause some redness and tenderness which usually disappear within a week.
Liquid Facelift
- A liquid facelift is the combination of Botox and fillers. The combination of both resulting in Pseudo facelift.
- It is widely used in small quantities to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Botox is a temporary treatment that works by blocking nerve signals to the facial muscles and thus results in smoother, youthful skin.
- This treatment can also be used to reduce perspiration, especially in cases of excessive sweating or ‘Hyperhidrosis’ (commonly found in men).
- Fillers are made up of substances like hyaluronic acid. These dermal fillers are used to volumize and add fullness to areas like the face, neck, lips and hands. Fillers are also a temporary treatment that will need maintenance every few months. Fillers result in plump and bouncy skin which can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin. They can also be used to increase the size of the lips.
- Both these methods of treatment are minimally invasive and delivered via injections. It may cause some redness; tenderness and bruising which usually disappear within a week. The actual result will be shown after the swelling has subsided.
Thread Lift
- Thread lift is a fairly new and effective treatment to instantly lift the skin. The treatment involves strategically placing a dissolvable suture under the skin. This results in firmer, lifted, smoother and more youthful skin. The best part about this treatment is its longevity, it may require follow-ups only once in a few years as the suture dissolves naturally. At times thread lifts are also used to reduce the appearance of a double chin due to sagging. It may cause some redness; tenderness and bruising which usually disappear within a week.
