Cynosure

A series of small injections of a purified neurotoxin that temporarily blocks nerve impulses to muscles or other tissues, causing the muscles to relax.  When muscles relax, the overlying skin moves less, effectively reducing wrinkles.  Botulinum toxin injections can be strategically placed for various other indications, including rejuvenation of the upper and lower face, reducing sweating, and medical conditions such as migraine. The effects usually wear off after a few months.

Botulinum toxin injections

The most commonly used fillers today are non-permanent and consist of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring molecule found in skin, joints and in the eyes.  Several brands of hyaluronic acid filler are available.  They all comprise a clear, soft, sterile gel that is injected into the skin or beneath the skin to soften lines, contour facial features, or add volume.  Fillers may be injected under local anaesthesia, and results can last about 6-18 months.

Fillers

A skin resurfacing or peeling treatment that uses chemicals, usually special acids, to remove the top layer of skin.  A chemical peel is indicated to treat pigmentation, sun damage, acne, or fine wrinkles.  The depth of peel, results, and recovery period depend on which chemical is used during the peel.  Chemical peels can be superficial, medium depth, or deep peels.

Chemical peel

Lasers are powerful devices that emit light at certain wavelengths in order to have an effect on tissues in the skin or body.  Ablative lasers vaporise or peel skin.  Non-ablative lasers usually heat skin without peeling.  Lasers can heat collagen effectively, causing improvement in texture and tightness. Lasers can be used to rejuvenate by treating blood vessels, removing hair, stimulating biological processes or peeling the outer, unwanted layers of skin or tissue.

Laser rejuvenation

Microneedling is a treatment where numerous tiny needles penetrate the skin to stimulate collagen.  The needles are small, usually up to three millimetres in length, and arranged on a device such as a stamping tool, pen, or roller.  Local anaesthesia may be used to numb the skin before microneedling is performed.  The skin can appear quite pink after the treatment, which may be repeated several times for improved results.

Microneedling

This treatment uses tiny needles to penetrate the skin and deliver heat at the same time.  Radiofrequency energy passes through the needles in order to provide heat, either through the whole needle or just the tip. Radiofrequency needling is designed to stimulate collagen and tighten tissues more than needling alone.  The treatment is usually performed using local anaesthesia.

Radiofequency needling

A non-ablative laser is a laser that does not peel away the outer layers of skin during treatment. The wavelength of non-ablative lasers does its job by heating specific targets in the skin or tissues, such as collagen, blood vessels, or hair follicles,  without vaporising the skins surface to any significant degree.  Non-ablative lasers usually do not have the recovery and downtime associated with ablative lasers.

Non-ablative laser

Light emitting diode (LED) devices produce light wavelengths that correspond to light in the visible spectrum, such as red and blue. LEDs may be placed over the face, shielded using eye goggles, to treat acne, wrinkles, redness and other conditions.  Blue light is purported to treat acne, whereas red light may be used for collagen stimulation or hair growth.

A laser of a specific wavelength designed to selectively target blood vessels within or beneath the skin.  Vascular lasers include pulsed dye lasers and NdYAG lasers and treat vascular conditions such as portwine stains, broken capillaries, spider veins and rosacea.  Conditions that require these lasers may require multiple treatment for best results.

Vascular laser

A device that uses a specific wavelength of light to target certain parts of tissues, such as pigment, blood vessels, or water.  Lasers can be used to peel skin, stimulate collagen production, remove pigment and tattoos, eliminate blood vessels, melt fat, or even cut tissues.  A laser is usually tunable: different settings can be adjusted to have different effects within the tissues it is targeting.

Laser

Skin tightening that occurs when collagen is stimulated due to heating of the tissues from radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic energy.  Usually a solution is applied to the skin and a probe passes over the surface, gently heating the tissues to the desired temperature. External RF is a non-invasive treatment. A number of treatments may be recommended.

Radiofrequency external skin tightening

Using lasers designed to specifically target the pigment in hair so that the hair follicle is destroyed selectively.  Laser hair removal is most effective on dark hair, particularly when the skin is fair. Darker skin types can also be treated effectively using lasers with a long pulse width.  Typically, several treatments are required for permanent hair reduction. Lasers for hair removal vary in their wavelength, power, and methods for cooling the skin during treatment.

Laser hair removal

Agents such as creams, lotions, serums and ointments that contain active ingredients designed to help improve the skin or lesions on the skin.  Cosmeceuticals include vitamins, anti-oxidants, acids and retinoids that have several benefits for skin.  Many of them are home use agents, applied according to specific protocols and they exhibit their beneficial effects over time.

Cosmeceuticals and topicals

A treatment that improves the skin’s condition using gentle techniques such as massage, exfoliation, the application of topicals, and masks.  Numerous types of facials are available to improve hydration, smoothness, and radiance.  Some devices are used in addition to manual techniques during skin facials, with tips that provide suction, peeling, and moisturising. There is usually little or no downtime after skin facials.

Skin facial

The peeling away of the outer layer of dead skin cells on the skin’s outermost layer.  Most microdermabrasion devices use tiny particles or diamond-tipped grits to gently blast or scrape away the epidermal cells.  Microdermabrasion is designed to give an instant smoothing effect, although a course of several treatments is often recommended to give better results over time. The skin may be pink after treatment but this usually resolves quickly.

Microdermabrasion

Hyaluronic acid gel fillers can be removed by injecting an enzyme called hyaluronidase into the filler or area. To remove permanent fillers, it may be necessary to use surgical methods. Fillers may need to be removed if they are causing lumps, asymmetry, reactions, or more serious complications like blocking blood vessels causing damage to tissues.

Remove filler

A form of cosmetic tattooing that uses pigments such as colour additives to create the appearance of makeup on the skin. Also known as permanent makeup, this treatment is used in areas such as the eye line, lip line, body of the lip, and brows.  Semi-permanent makeup is also used to camouflage scars or areas of pigment loss, tattoo the hairline, and to create the appearance of a nipple and areola after breast reconstruction.
