Lasers use a specific wavelength of light to exhibit their effects. The wavelength determines the target for that specific laser. Most lasers are designed to heat and destroy a specific target and leave surrounding tissue untouched and undamaged. Lasers can peel skin, remove hair, rejuvenate skin, treat vascular conditions and remove pigmentation and tattoos. Various safety protocols are required when lasers are used, such as eye protection with goggles or eye shields.

Laser

Orally administered drugs to improve a condition, improve health or enhance wellbeing. Medications often play a complementary role in aesthetic procedures and skin therapies. They may also be recommended for the treatment or prevention of infections.

Medications

The peeling away of the outer layer of dead skin cells on the skin’s outermost layer. Most microdermabrasion devices use tiny particles, diamond-tipped grits, or patented tips 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

A lift of the middle part of the face including the cheeks, nose-to-mouth folds and mouth corners. This may be performed through incisions placed behind the hairline near the temple, in the lower eyelid, and in the mouth. Special stitches may be used to lift and suspend the tissues of the midface to improve the shape of the face, reduce sagging, and lift the cheeks.

Midface lift

This is used to remove unwanted skin cells by freezing them. The area is sprayed until temperatures are so low that the skin lesion freezes. More than one treatment may be necessary to remove the unwanted cells. Cryotherapy, or therapy that induces very low temperatures in tissues, may also be used to treat unwanted fat. This is called crylipolysis or “fat freezing”.

Cryotherapy

The delivery of ultrasound waves through the skin to the underlying fat in order to reduce or destroy fat cells.  Most devices used to reduce fat non-invasively use focused ultrasound:  sound waves that focus at a particular point under the skin to burst fat cells.  Localised areas are treated, such as lower tummy or love handles, and more than one session is normally advised.

Non-invasive ultrasound fat reduction

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

A surgical neck lift usually involves tightening the muscles to remove the sagging and improve the angle under the chin, as well as lifting and trimming excess skin. This is commonly performed together with a face lift. The incisions and scars vary, but can be behind the ear and into the hairline and a smaller incision under the chin to access the muscles. A neck lift is a definitive surgical rejuvenation that requires healing and recovery.

Neck lift

BBL SkinTyte

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

A special wire is passed into the vein using ultrasound to guide it into the correct position.  Once in place, radiofrequency energy is used to heat the varicose vein from the inside, destroying the lining of the vein.  This causes it to close, resulting in a reduction or removal of the abnormally dilated areas.  The procedure is minimally invasive and usually performed under local anaesthesia.

Radiofrequency ablation

Microneedling is a treatment where numerous tiny needles penetrate the skin to stimulate collagen, resulting in tighter skin with fewer lines and improved texture. 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 pink after the treatment, which may be repeated several times for best results.

Microneedling

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

A peeling treatment that uses lasers, such as carbon dioxide and erbium lasers, to remove the outer skin layers precisely. The type of laser and settings used determine how the skin peels and heals. Laser skin resurfacing is used to reduce sun damage, pigmentation, and fine wrinkles. The treatment usually requires some form of anaesthesia and special skin care during the healing period after the treatment.

Laser skin resurfacing

Various threads are used to lift different parts of the face, or even body. These can be dissolvable or permanent materials, and have different appearances. Some are smooth, some have tiny hooks or barbs, others have cones. A thread lift is usually performed under local anaesthesia as a minimally invasive treatment. The threads may be anchored or ‘free-floating’. Some thread lifts require small incisions whereas others are inserted through punctures without making incisions.

Thread lift

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

Surgically improving the appearance of a pre-existing scar using various techniques. The existing scar is often removed using a separate, new incision. The edges of the new wound are brought together in a way that reduces tension on the healing incision, so that the scar becomes less obvious.

Scar revision

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

Cryolipolysis, also known as fat freezing, is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that uses cooling of subcutaneous tissues to cause the fat cells to die. This results in localised reduction of fatty areas in the body. A device is placed on the tissues for a period of time during the treatment. Specific areas only can be treated depending on the applicator used.

Fat freezing

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.

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

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, tightness and pores. 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

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

Moxi is a gentle but effective non-ablative laser (1927nm wavelength) that resurfaces the skin and peels away pigmentation. The treatment usually takes less than 30 minutes and the results include brighter, smoother skin that glows. After the treatment, some pinkness is normal, and the skin feels rough to touch for a few days before the results appear. Moxi is suitable for all skin types and those looking for “prejuvenation” and maintenance to keep skin looking healthy. A course of three treatments may be advised for best results.

Moxi laser

The outer layer of skin is removed by sanding it down using a rotating rough tip on a powered device called a dermabrader.  This is performed under general or local anaesthesia. Dermabrasion improves skin texture, wrinkles and scars by removing the top layers. There is redness and swelling after the treatment for a period of time.

Dermabrasion

A treatment used to tighten and lift areas of the face or neck non-invasively using a device that delivers sound waves through the skin.  The sound waves focus precisely, generating heat in tiny zones at different depths.  The heat creates tiny injuries that result in collagen stimulation, providing a tissue tightening effect.  There is usually minimal or no downtime and a single treatment is used to produce results that improve during the months following treatment.

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU)

Developed by Sciton, this sophisticated light technology improves the appearance of aging skin on the face, neck and body in most skin types. It addresses concerns such as pigmentation, freckles, redness, acne, texture and age spots. The treatment is fast and non-invasive, with minimal downtime, allowing immediate return to normal activities. BBL brightens and clears skin over a course of treatments, with results typically visible after even one.

Broadband Light (BBL)

HALO

A powerful light source consisting of a range of light wavelengths depending on the chosen targets.  Intense pulsed light (IPL) devices can be used for hair removal, skin rejuvenation, and the treatment of rosacea, acne, and pigmentation.  Usually a gel is applied and the IPL device is applied to the skin.  The flashes of light target the top layer of skin whilst the skin is simultaneously cooled for protection.

Intense pulsed light (IPL)

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 method of hair removal or epilation originating in Asia that uses a cotton or polyester thread to pull fine hairs out of the hair follicles.  Due to the precise nature of threading, it is used for hair removal and shaping of the eyebrows and to remove fine hairs from the face.  Hairs typically grow back after a few weeks.  

Threading

The brow is lifted by placing an incision at the brow hair itself.  This incision may be placed in an existing line or wrinkle to hide it as much as possible.  Some skin is removed and the incision is closed with stitches, lifting the brow to an elevated position.

Direct brow lift

Skin tightening that occurs when the undersurface of skin is heated to a certain temperature using probes that emit radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic energy.  This treatment is usually performed using anaesthesia, allowing a small incision so the internal probe can be passed into the layers beneath the skin.  The internal probes heat and stimulate collagen, resulting in a tightening effect over time.

Radiofrequency internal skin tightening

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. Peeling agents include salicylic acid, azelaic acid, glycolic acid and trichloroacetic acid (TCA).

Chemical peel

A surgical procedure using an incision at or behind the hairline to lift the soft tissues of the forehead. A forehead lift can improve deep forehead wrinkles and lift the brows. The procedure is usually performed under general anaesthesia and requires some dissection under the skin to effectively lift the forehead and hold it in place.

Forehead lift

Several small injections are made into the middle layer of skin in order to deliver agents such as vitamins, antioxidants, hydrating or other substances.  Mesotherapy is used in aesthetics to hydrate skin, improve radiance, or stimulate cells in hair follicles and fibroblasts to help improve collagen production.  Topical numbing may be applied and the substance is injected either manually or using a special injecting device called a mesogun.
