Solutions and Treatment Tools in Focus.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a process that deeply exfoliates, polishes, and increases the lymphatic drainage of skin. It uses a gentle vacuum to bring your skin in contact with a diamond coated head that gently abrades the top layer of dead skin. It can be used in the treatment of sunspots, pigmentation, acne (it is particularly good for comedonal acne/blackheads), acne scarring, fine lines, pores, and dull skin. It is most commonly used on the face, but can be used on the neck, back, and hands.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a process that helps to reduce hair growth and increase the manageability of excess hair in the long-term. Laser energy is used to selectively target and disrupt hair follicles whilst leaving the skin unaffected. It can help reduce unwanted hair that is usually removed by plucking, shaving or waxing, and make hair management an easier task.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are used to fill or replace the lost volume in static wrinkles, lines and folds. Unlike anti-wrinkle injections, they do not affect facial muscle contraction. Generally, dermal fillers are used in the treatment of wrinkles, lines, and folds that appear at rest, rather than those that appear during facial expression. Dermal fillers can also be used to enhance, define, or enlarge lips, and to shape the face by injection into cheeks, chins, and noses.
