Anti-Ageing and Skin Tightening Treatments

There are many anti-aging and skin-tightening treatments we use in this clinic, each targeting different aspects of aging like wrinkles, sagging skin, loss of elasticity, and uneven skin tone. These treatments range from non-invasive procedures to more intensive options and can help improve skin texture, boost collagen production, and restore a youthful appearance.

Below is a list of the treatments we offer and a minor description. For more information go to the relevant page.

1. Injectables

Injectables provide a non-invasive, quick solution to wrinkles, volume loss, and sagging. The most common include Botox and dermal fillers.

Botox (Botulinum Toxin)

  • How It Works: Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for expression lines (like crow's feet and frown lines), preventing wrinkles from deepening.
  • Benefits: Smooths out dynamic wrinkles and fine lines, particularly in areas like the forehead, around the eyes, and between the brows.
  • Duration: Results last around 3 to 4 months, requiring repeat treatments for maintenance.

Dermal Fillers

  • How They Work: Fillers add volume to areas like the cheeks, lips, and around the mouth. They can also help reduce wrinkles and lift sagging skin by replenishing lost volume.
  • Types:
    • Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: Add immediate volume and hydration.
    • Collagen Stimulating treatments: Stimulates collagen to gradually restore volume and improve skin quality.
  • Duration: Results can last from 18 months up to 5 years, depending on the type of filler used.

2. Laser Treatments

Laser therapies target various skin concerns like wrinkles, uneven tone, pigmentation, and sagging by stimulating collagen production and resurfacing the skin.

PicoWay Laser Resurfacing

  • How It Works: PicoWay uses a deep fractionated laser to create micro-injuries deep in the skin, promoting healing and collagen production. It improves fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation.
  • Benefits: Ideal for improving skin texture, treating sun damage, and reducing signs of aging.
  • Downtime: Minimal downtime (1-2 days of redness) depending on the intensity of the treatment.
  • Duration: Results last for months to years with maintenance sessions.

CO2 Laser

  • How It Works: The CO2 laser is a more aggressive option that removes the outer layer of skin and heats the underlying layers, promoting collagen growth and skin tightening.
  • Benefits: Great for deeper wrinkles, severe sun damage, and significant skin tightening.
  • Downtime: Significant downtime (about 1-2 weeks of recovery).
  • Duration: Long-lasting effects, but the skin will continue to age, so maintenance is required after a few years.

3. Microneedling and PRP (Vampire Lift)

These treatments stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture, fine lines, and tightness.

Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy)

  • How It Works: Microneedling uses tiny needles to create controlled injuries in the skin, which triggers the body's natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin.
  • Benefits: Reduces wrinkles, fine lines, and improves skin texture. Can also help with acne scars and enlarged pores.
  • Downtime: 1-2 days of redness and minor swelling.
  • Duration: Results build over a few months and last up to 1 year.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or Vampire Facial

  • How It Works: PRP involves drawing the patient's blood, processing it to concentrate platelets, and then injecting it or applying it to the skin post-microneedling. The growth factors in the plasma help rejuvenate and repair the skin.
  • Benefits: Improves skin texture, firmness, and radiance. It can also enhance the results of microneedling.
  • Downtime: Minimal downtime, with results appearing gradually over several weeks.
  • Duration: Results can last up to 12-18 months.

4. Chemical Peels

Chemical peels exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and stimulating new skin growth, which can improve skin tone, texture, and tightness.

Medium to Deep Peels (e.g., TCA Peels)

  • How They Work: A solution is applied to the skin that causes the outer layers to peel off over several days, revealing fresh, tighter skin beneath.
  • Benefits: Improves skin texture, reduces wrinkles, and tightens the skin.
  • Downtime: 5-7 days for medium peels and 1-2 weeks for deep peels.
  • Duration: Results are long-lasting, though the skin will continue to age.

5. Skin Tightening Devices

Thread Lifts

  • How It Works: Threads made of dissolvable sutures are inserted under the skin to lift sagging tissue and stimulate collagen production.
  • Benefits: Provides an immediate lifting effect, followed by gradual skin tightening as collagen forms around the threads.
  • Duration: Results last around 12-24 months.
