Non-Surgical Face Lifts really are for everyone

A person’s neck area is often problematic and can be one of the first areas prone to show signs of being overweight or the ageing process.  No one “likes” the look of having a double-chin.  Surgery is not the remedy most people seek first.  There are other treatments to help you get the smooth, youthful neck with an even skin tone you are seeking.

HIFU Skin Tightening

HIFU Ultraformer

With minimal downtime and a procedure that typically lasts less than 60 minutes, the HIFU Skin Tightening treatment is the leading “non-surgical face lift.”  It’s non-invasive with results lasting up to one year.  With the Ultraformer non-surgical contouring system, you can be on a safe, efficient, and relatively easy path to getting a youthful face back.  This process is great for tightening and with the results, you will no longer feel restricted to high neck tops!

Better yet, HIFU skin tightening can be used not only on the face and neck areas, but on other parts of your body as well.  Who doesn’t want to get rid of that sagging skin on your arms?  You can also tighten skin on the stomach, thighs, and beneath the buttocks.

Infini 3D Skin Tightening

The amazing technology used with the INFINI™ combines therapies which maximize the skin tightening process.  The innovative 3D radio frequency and micro-needling treatment helps resurface your skin through enhanced production of the natural collagen and elastin in your skin.  Pulsating micro-needles make micro-channels to deliver the energy from the radio frequency into your skin, triggering collagen production.  It is a non-surgical procedure with minimal downtime which focuses on the second layer of skin (the dermis) to offer the maximum positive results possible.  It is wonderful for not only skin tightening and smoothing of the skin’s surface but also for removal of acne scars and stretch marks.  It can also help with reducing wrinkles and pore sizes.

Dermapen Micro Skin Needling

Micro needling the skin with Dermapen is a pain-free treatment that promotes natural skin rejuvenation which results in more even skin tone.  It also aids the skin tightening process, fights sun damage, and enables a more vibrant and youthful skin glow to be restored.  It can get rid of stretch marks, traces of acne, pock marks, and scars.  Even after just one treatment, you will notice a difference in the way your skin looks and feels.  Improvements to your skin tone will be noticeable.  Four to six treatments are recommended for the majority of patients, about one month apart.

When looking for ways to improve the overall look and well-being of your skin, most people seek treatments that are non-surgical.  If you’d like to talk to one of our practitioners to find out what the best treatment would be to help with your concerns, then book a free consultation with us today!

Exciting news! 5 New DermaQuest peels now available!

You now have more options than ever when looking for the perfect DermaQuest peel for your specific needs.  Our new peels are now available in all clinics.  The five new peels are: SkinBrite, Peptide, DermaClear, Stem Cell, and Vitamin C.  Read more about each each of the peels and the concerns they can treat below.

SkinBrite Pigmentation Peel

Skin discolouration is one of the most common complaints for which people seek treatment. The varying differences in skin pigmentation can be a result from sun damage, pregnancy, or age.  The new SkinBrite Pigmentation Peel was created to help ease this problem.  It is based on triggering the skin’s natural renewal process, exfoliating deep into the skin, encouraging damaged skin cells to shed and allowing new brighter, lighter skin to come to the surface.  While skin will show benefits from one session, a course of treatments over the long term is recommended to get the best results.  The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes and recommended downtime is just a few days for optimal recovery.

Peptide Peel

This powerful peptide resurfacer has shown its ability to increase skin’s firmness and provide lift.  It can lift lines and reduce the depth of wrinkles, allowing for a smoother complexion.  The Peptide Peel is designed for advanced wrinkle correction and is serious about providing anti-ageing benefits. It works by promoting collagen production and elastin synthesis, to result in smoother and firmer skin.  Peptides have long been shown to provide anti-ageing benefits and are a very popular “go to” solution for helping skin look more youthful.

DermaClear Acne Peel

DermaClear Acne Peel Before & After

Acne is a fact of life that many teens have to deal with; however, adult acne is becoming more prevalent as well.  Many believe that our highly stressful society has led to the fact that 45 percent of adult women and 30 percent of adult men now suffer from acne.  A DermaClear Acne Peel serves to re-balance the skin’s oils, thereby helping clear blemishes and prevent further acne outbreaks. This particular peel uses the popular Alpha and Beta Hydroxy acids to reduce the bacteria that can cause acne, as well as treat and heal blemishes that do occur.  It is a powerful treatment that through consistent use, can provide fresher, smoother skin with a clearer complexion.

Stem Cell Anti-Ageing Peel

A relaxing and soothing treatment, this glycolic and retinol combination is applied to promote a more youthful appearance.  The Stem Cell Anti-Ageing Peel was created for those who desire a more youthful appearance but don’t want to go through the cosmetic surgery, laser treatments, or anti-ageing injections.  The process begins with a skin cleansing process, application of the concentrated solution, followed by a rinse, and application of a masque composed of enriched enzymes.  This special attention is designed to rejuvenate your skin, resulting in a more youthful complexion.

The C Infusion Peel

If your skin is feeling tired and dry, the C Infusion Peel is the perfect way to wake it up!  Vitamin C is useful for so many purposes that it should come as no surprise that a peel enriched with this popular vitamin could promote a healthier and more vibrant appearance.  Studies suggest that application of Vitamin C directly on the skin, as opposed to taking Vitamin C supplements orally, works 20 times better.  Vitamin C has proven very effective in rejuvenating skin cells through enhancement of collagen synthesis.  It is also a known deterrent to free radical cell damage.  Not only does the C Infusion Peel pay specific attention to the surface of the skin, but it aids also by penetrating the deeper skin levels to remove debris from pores.  The C Infusion Peel stimulates a natural renewal reaction from your skin’s cells and is especially for those with sensitive skin, skin damaged from the environment, dry and/or mature skin, and skin that is rosacea-prone.

Any one of these five peels can aid the return of youthful, glowing, and radiant skin.  When your skin looks great and you feel great! So, book your free skin consultation now to start your journey to clear smooth skin!

Take a Look At Our Aldgate Clinic’s Pigmentation Treatments

At Premier Laser & Skin, we want you to look your best every day, which is why our clinics offer a variety of different procedures to help make that happen. We wanted to spotlight one common concern that we have many treatments available for at our Aldgate location – pigmentation.

Fighting Pigmentation Issues

Did you know that there are lots of factors that can cause pigmentation problems? The two most common causes are sunlight exposure and hormone changes which can create dark patches on the skin. What’s more, though, is that pigmentation can often be hereditary too. People of Asian descent commonly deal with pigmentation issues more than any other ethnic group.  Fortunately, there are several treatments which can provide you with the help you need to deal with your pigmentation issues, including two of our peels at Aldgate.

  • Cosmelan Depigmentation Peel AldgateCosmelan Peel: This amazing skin whitening treatment can help you reduce the dark spots and patches. This one-off peel is ideal for anyone suffering from deep pigmentation or melisma as it inhibits the melanin production in those problem cells, helping you to shed the dark skin. Following the peel you will be provided with an extensive home care kit to help improve your results in the weeks following.
  • DermaQuest SkinBrite Peel: A more gentle pigmentation peel, the SkinBrite is ideal for targeting sun spots, age spots and freckles. It works by deeply exfoliating the skin, encouraging the damaged skin cells to shed so that new brighter skin can be revealed. Depending on your pigmentation, a course of up to 6 peels may be recommended by our expert practitioners.

Pigmentation problems can be tough to treat, especially when you’re dealing with heredity issues. At our Aldgate location, though, we’ll help you tackle those pigmentation issues to give you a beautiful and even skin tone. Book your free consultation with us today to discuss your skin concerns.

 

Lip Fillers: Everything you need to know

Full, plump lips – it’s certainly a sign of beauty, but not everyone has them naturally. Products like lipstick and lip liner can help, but they wear off, and they don’t always offer you the results you really want. If you’re sick of fighting your lips for real results and wasting your money on over-the-counter treatments that can only go so far, it’s time to book your lip filler treatment with us.

What Is Lip Filler?

We use hyaluronic acid to help fill out your lips; our chosen filler is a natural gel that helps flow gently into your skin and instantly offer you the fill you want. It means real definition and very little downtime. You’ll get that perfect natural look within just a few weeks.

What Can I Expect?

If you book one of our lip filler treatments, we’ll schedule an assessment appointment before the actual procedure. On the day of your procedure, we’ll clean and numb the area, then gently inject the filler into the area(s) that need the most help. While you may see some bruising within the first few days of the procedure, it will subside quickly, and you’ll be left with the look you want most.

HIFU: A Quick Guide

When you see a teenager, what makes her look young? What makes you feel old when you look in the mirror? Often the difference between that teenage face and yours is the sagging skin, and it’s a natural process you can’t always avoid.  As you age, your collagen levels diminish, and that means wrinkles and sagging skin that was once only dealt with thanks to a facelift. Now, though, there are new treatments available to tackle that problem and help your skin look as young as it did when you were still in school. It’s called HIFU.

Understanding the Process

HIFU is also sometimes called a non-surgical face lift, and for good reason. It helps to contour your skin and change the way you look on a daily basis. It begins with a comprehensive consultation. On appointment day, we’ll cleanse your skin, then apply a gel. The Ultraformer then be applied to your skin, across the area you’d like to tighten. As it works across your skin, it generates a thermal effect, which helps your body begin to repair the collagen and produce more to tighten the area.

You may feel a bit of bruising and tenderness after the procedure, but it generally isn’t painful. HIFU treatments last anywhere from twenty to forty minutes, depending on how large the treatment area is.

As with many of our other treatments, there is no downtime following your HIFU. You might see slight redness for an hour or so directly afterwards, but you don’t have to worry about a long recovery time.

How Soon Will I Notice the Difference?

Your skin will feel a bit tighter directly after the procedure, however you will see the best skin results after three months. Top-up treatment can also be arranged to enhance the results further in future.
