Restylane is a gel based on hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body. It gives natural volume in your skin to lift and produce new firmness, resulting in a healthy, vital appearance.
If you are looking to enhance your looks with a completely natural substance which achieves a visible and long-lasting aesthetic result, Restylane is the ideal treatment. It is not a beauty cream and it is not surgery – it is an instant beauty lift that enhances your appearance in a natural way.

Have you ever looked in the mirror, lifted the skin on your face and wished it would stay that way? Now there is an innovative, minimally invasive rejuvenation technique that makes it possible in less than an hour. Contour Thread Lift is a safe and effective procedure that offers subtle, natural results.
Our physician makes a tiny incision or puncture in the temporal area and the contour threads are inserted under the skin. The tiny barbs on each thread open in an umbrella-like fashion to form a support structure that gently lifts sagging tissues of the brow, face, and neck. Once in position, your body generates new collagen bundles that encapsulate each thread, helping to maintain the elevation or lifting effect.

Intense Pulsed Light technology is a treatment breakthrough that can correct a variety of benign skin conditions, such as facial skin imperfections, birthmarks, unsightly small veins, brown pigment, age spots, freckles and sun damaged necks and chests.
How does IPL remove hair? Highly controlled flashes of light are selectively absorbed by hair follicles lying below the surface of the skin. The absorbed light heats the hair, damaging or destroying the regrowth potential of the follicle – all without damaging the surrounding tissue. |

| Despite the many cosmetic procedures available, improving the appearance of the skin damaged by scarring after severe acne or chicken pox, or improving the skin associated with deep wrinkles, has always been a challenge. Procedures such as deep chemical peels, dermabrasion (different from microdermabrasion) and laser resurfacing have offered disappointing results, especially for scarring associated with acne. At the same time, they are expensive and involve long recovery times. Laser treatments also carry the risk of pigment changes in the skin following treatment.
Skin needling has now been shown to be useful in the treatment of acne scars, chicken pox scars, and both superficial and deep lines. The procedure is relatively inexpensive, with each treatment costing a few hundred dollars, as opposed to laser resurfacing which can cost several thousand dollars per treatment. Downtime is about three to four days, compared to about three weeks for laser resurfacing.
The skin needling procedure uses a roller with tiny needles to pierce the skin and create very fine dermal injuries. A topical anaesthetic is used to minimize the discomfort. These dermal injuries lead to new collagen formation which fills depressed scars and lifts them up so that they are level with the surrounding skin. Needling can also perforate and soften fibrous scar tissue enabling further deposition of new collagen.
Needling is less traumatic than laser resurfacing. As the epidermis is not burned off to leave a weepy surface, there is no daily dressing to attend to. The needles only penetrate the epidermis, leaving it intact. As a result, the skin heals more rapidly. Bruising takes three to four days to settle down with the help of Arnica orally and topically. It would be unusual for the bruising to last more than a week. This is a walk-in walk-out procedure.
The level of improvement varies from patient to patient. The majority will achieve 40–50% improvement, and about 20% will achieve more than this. Unfortunately, some 20% will achieve levels of improvement less than this.
Clients normally need more than one treatment. It is common to have four to six treatments at approximately six-weekly intervals. The level of improvement rises with each treatment. It may take up to three months in some cases to see the improvement. During the intervals between treatments, a home roller kit is used to enhance the result.
It is important to keep out of the sun in the first week after treatment. A SPF30+ sunscreen is recommended, along with collagen-enriching creams that are fortified with Vitamins A and C.
