Dermal Fillers-Lip Augmentation

Injectable dermal fillers are injectable gels made from naturally-occurring substances, including collagen and hyaluronic acid. Dermal fillers are injected just under the skin in order to add volume to aging skin, lips and to fill and lift wrinkles and folds. Dermal fillers add volume for a more natural youthful appearance.

The majority of dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid as their main active ingredient. Hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers include Restylane, Juvederm, Teosyal and Esthelis. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the skin.

Injectable dermal fillers are used to fill wrinkles, lines, folds, and scars (eg. acne scars). Dermal fillers are also commonly used to give a fuller appearance to the lips.

The most common areas treated with injectable dermal fillers are the smile lines around the nose and mouth, fine lines above the mouth, frown lines between the eyes, and acne scars.

Microdermabrasion 2

Method:
1. In the past, microdermabrasion was carried out using abrasive crystals. However, in the last decade, it has become more common to use a wand with a roughened surface. This procedure requires no medical oversight and is commonly used in conjunction with facial spa treatments. These days there are a multiplicity of machines available for microdermabrasion.

2. The growth of the microdermabrasion treatment industry has led to innovations and there are currently a few different microdermabrasion methods available.

Multiple professional microdermabrasion methods exist:

Crystal microdermabrasion
1. Crystal microdermabrasion systems are the traditional treatment of choice and rely on tiny crystals that are blasted onto the skin to perform the exfoliating process.
2. Although the crystal microdermabrasion system is still widely used, the introduction of alternatives has led to a trend away from this treatment system.

Diamond microdermabrasion
1. Diamond microdermabrasion systems operate without the need for crystals. The exfoliation process occurs when a diamond tipped head makes contact with the skin and abrades against it.
2. In both crystals and diamond microdermabrasion systems the dead skin cells are sucked away from the face.
3. Microdermabrasion is a procedure where tiny particles "sand" or "polish" the skin and gradually remove scarred or discolored epidermal tissue.
4. With microdermbrasion system the surface skin cell turnover will be enhanced and the skin will be visibly fresher.
5. Microdermabrasion creams with active ingredients, are focused on skin renewal and accelerate rebuilding of healthy collagen skin cells after laser resurfacing or harsh peels.
6. For depressed scars, such as pitted acne scars, subcision with needles is often used by estheticians to break up the deeply buried scar tissue, and a microdermabrision system then speeds up new healthy skin remodeling: the orderly process of laying out new collagen and elastin fibers.

It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Microdermabrasion 1

1. Microdermabrasion (often referred to as Microderm) is a family of cosmetic procedures popular in day spas, doctors' practices, and medical spas in which the stratum corneum (dead outermost surface of the skin) is partially or completely removed by light abrasion, to remove sun-damaged skin and to remove or lessen scars and dark spots on the skin.




2. The procedure is not very painful and requires no anaesthetic.




3. Microdermabrasion can be used medically for scar removal when the scar is raised above the surrounding skin, but is less effective with sunken scars.




4. There is some evidence that microdermabrasion stimulates collagen formation.




5. Microdermabrasion can also be used for treatment of acne, but must be repeated periodically to be effective.



6. Microdermabrasion is also useful in correcting uneven tone and pigmentary skin disorders.




7. Microdermabrasion should not be used on patients who have taken the medication Accutane (Isotretinion) in the previous twelve months.




8. Different methods include mechanical abrasion from jets of zinc oxide or aluminum oxide crystals, fine organic particles, or a diamond tip. Particles are removed with a wand/handpiece through which the abrasive particles come.




9. The term dermabrasion itself refers to the more severe medical procedure carried out under general or light anesthesia.

"Platelet Gel, or PRP, is comprised of a range of autologous growth factors which act synergistically to accelerate the rate and degree of tissue regeneration, improving wound healing. When concentrated autologous platelets are mixed with calcified thrombin a series of structural and functional changes involved in coagulation take place. Secreted from the platelets are a number of factors including serotonin, fibronectin, adenosine diphosphate, thromboxane A, platelet factor 4, platelet derived growth factor and platelet activating factor. Release of these factors cause a chemotactic response and initiates the process of migration between the endothelial cells.
PlateletsThe release of these factors cause a chemotactic response and initiates the process of migration between the endothelial cells. As more factors continue to be released from platelets, monocytes and macrophages, angiogenesis, osteogenesis and the formation of granulation tissue is promoted.Clinical applications appear to be widespread. In treating chronic non-healing wounds and various plastic surgery procedures including face-lifts, laser resurfacing, breast lifts, and tummy tucks.

The application of autologous platelet gel to face, neck or brow lifts eliminates the majority of the bruising and swelling normally associated with these procedures. Healing is enhanced, with the average “down” time cut in half.
The application of autologous platelet gel in laser resurfacing has shown to eliminate the weeping seen in these cases. Total re-epithelialization is seen in 7-9 days."

Our New ND: YAG Laser

We have just acquired our new Q-Switched ND: YAG Laser machine.
This new 'baby' can do quite a few exciting things.
Among the things we do together is tattoo removal, pigmentation, acne, birth marks (Nevus of Ota etc).
Quite a few clients came to treat their pigmented scars....traumatic, post inflammation etc.
One of them is my 12 year old daughter with her scar on her knee.

Oh ya....the most 'laku' indication is laser soft peel....an hour procedure that turns back the
clock at least 10 years...:-)
