Vanish Cellulite Treatment

What is Cellulite?

The best approach to treating cellulite, is to first understand the causal factors and the science behind them.

Cellulite takes shape when the fat cells gather and push upwards against the skin even as other connective tissues get pulled downwards. This push – and – pull process results in giving an unsightly, uneven texture to the skin surface. The stomach, hips and thighs are the most common skin areas that cellulite tends to form.

Although cellulite affects both, men and women, it is the women who suffer more commonly due to the difference in distribution patterns of fat, muscle, and connective tissue. While in men, the fibrous septa holding the subcutaneous fat are arranged in a lattice pattern, they are shaped in a parallel pattern for women.

As we age, these connective tissue septa tend to lose their elasticity and grow shorter. Similarly, the subcutaneous fat begins to accumulate and the skin becomes thinner as we lose collagen. As a result, the fat bulges through to create the unsightly nodules on the skin surface. Circulatory insufficiency and inadequate lymphatic drainage are another reason for the formation of cellulite.

It is a common misconception that cellulite will disappear with weight loss. Unfortunately, that is not necessarily the case always. Since cellulite is located in the upper levels of the skin, when fatty tissue and volume are reduced, the cellulite does not always disappear. Cellulite condition is difficult to treat as there isn’t any one single treatment modality in the market that can effectively remove all the cellulite. But by using an appropriate combination of medical grade technologies, cellulite deposits can be visibly reduced.

How Are The Treatment Options?

There are various of ways to treat cellulite and these treatments are completely safe, non-surgical procedure that’s popular for its fast effectiveness and long-lasting results.

For a more deep cellulite dimple, patients can consider using laser thermolysis machine, a FDA approved machinese that heats up to 47°C to permanently destroy fat cells.This method can remove up to 25% of fat cells.

For Grade 1 or Grade 2 cellulite, patients can consider the microwave therapy – ONDA COOLWAVES(TM). Onda Coolwaves is the latest permanent fat reduction treatment in the medical aesthetic scene. Coolwaves™ refer to special microwaves that selectively target fat cells and reduce localized fat deposits in a safe, effective and non-invasive way. Onda Coolwaves™ microwaves are emitted in a controlled fashion, focusing energy only where it is needed. The smart device includes a high-tech skin cooling system that cools the skin as it counterbalances the heat issued by the microwaves. This preserves the derma, and ensures total patient comfort while reducing risks, inflammation and side effects.

This microwave therapy can treat 3 main body concerns –

1. Subcutaneous Fat
   Coolwaves™ is able to deeply disrupt the membranes of subcutaneous fat cells safely and effectively.
2. Fibrous Tissue Septa
   Coolwaves™ effectively target the connective tissue between the adipose lobules in the more advanced stages of cellulite.
3. Skin Quality
   Coolwaves™ induce an immediate shrinkage of the collagen fibers in the dermis and stimulate the production of new collagen, making tissue more compact and toned.

As an adjunct treatment, we also use a high energy radial shockwave that consists of 2 components – a positive pressure pulse and a comparatively smaller tensile wave component.

The shockwave squeezes the surrounding tissue and breaks the grid structure of the molecules, while the tensile wave collapses gas bubbles within the fat structures (cavitation) – which then re-expand after the high energy radial shockwaves hit them, resulting in a destabilisation of fat structures.

Visible results can be seen and felt within a few treatments. Your skin will be firmer, smoother and look healthier. Cellulite and stretch marks will be noticeably reduced, or even eliminated.

When Coolwaves™ target adipose tissue, it produces the following effects:

Remodeling of the connective tissue matrix
Adypocite metabolic changes trigger the release of a high amount of destroyed lipids
Initiates a process of lysis of fat cells with adipocyte membrane rupture
Lipids are eliminated via the lymphatic system

Types of Cellulite

There are three grades of cellulite;

It is a common misconception that cellulite will disappear with weight loss and it is not the case necessarily because cellulite is located in the upper level of the skin which is why when fatty tissue and volume are reduced, the cellulite does not always disappear.

Cellulite is a difficult to treat condition and as there is no one treatment modality in the market that can effectively remove all cellulite. But, by using a combination of medical grade technologies, we can visibly reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Vanish Cellulite Treatment

Eliminate unsightly cellulite (also known as “orange peel skin”) with our Vanish Cellulite Treatment. This completely safe treatment utilises laser thermal, microwaves and high energy shockwaves to produce fast and visible results.

Each of this treatment targets the three major areas

• Fibrous Tissue Septa
• Subcutaneous Fat
• Skin Quality

This treatment utilises high energy to stimulate collagen production, improve blood circulation and break down subcutaneous fat in affected areas – without damaging surrounding tissues. The result is two-fold – a reduction in the appearance of cellulite and firmer, smoother skin.

Within weeks, you could regain your beautiful, bikini-ready body and flaunt your confidence in any outfit!

How Does The Treatment Work?

This treatment is a completely safe, non-surgical procedure that’s popular for its fast effectiveness and long-lasting results.

The treatment plan consist of using laser thermolysis machine that heats up to 47°C to permanently destroy fat cells and a microwave machine to penetrate deeper, which is effective for the fibrous septa and permanent fat reduction. It also helps to stimulate fibroblast to grow more collagen and elastin, making the skin more firm and taut.

As an adjunct treatment, we also use a high energy radial shockwave that consists of 2 components – a positive pressure pulse and a comparatively smaller tensile wave component.

The shockwave squeezes the surrounding tissue and breaks the grid structure of the molecules, while the tensile wave collapses gas bubbles within the fat structures (cavitation) – which then re-expand after the high energy radial shockwaves hit them, resulting in a destabilisation of fat structures.

Visible results can be seen and felt within a few treatments. Your skin will be firmer, smoother and look healthier. Cellulite and stretch marks will be noticeably reduced, or even eliminated.

In just a few short weeks, you could once again be wearing your favourite outfits with the confidence of having beautiful, cellulite-free skin!

The Process

Achieve Your Ideal Body Shape Naturally with SculpSure

Despite regular exercise and a healthy diet, your body keeps accumulating fat. As a result, clothes become tight and you also have complexes about your appearance. You may have tried out a number of fat-reduction creams, fancy diets and even toyed with the idea of undergoing liposuction. Now, you can opt for SculpSure, a fat disruption technology that is non-invasive, has been clinically tested and found safe and effective.

A laser-based technology, SculpSure is a body contouring treatment that has received FDA clearances. Using a safe medical laser, SculpSure destroys unwanted fat cells in just 25 minutes per treatment. SculpSure does not affect surrounding tissues or fat cells. It can also be applied simultaneously in as many as four areas of the body. It is known to result in fat reduction by as much as 25% in one treatment session

How does SculpSure feel?

The 1060nm wavelength’s specific affinity for adipose tissue, coupled with minimal absorption in the dermis, allows SculpSure to efficiently treat areas of troublesome fat in just 25 minutes per treatment. Over time, the body naturally eliminates the disrupted fat cells with results seen as quickly as 6 weeks and optimal results usually seen in as few as 12 weeks.

• Minimal absorption in the dermis leaves the skin’s surface unharmed
• Advanced Contact Cooling™ enhances patient comfort
• Feathering of heat spread provides natural-looking results
• Mild and transient side effects

Patient may experience differently due to the surface area and the amount of fat that is present there. Most times, patient would undergo a cool sensation that keeps the skin surface cool and comfortable throughout the duration of the treatment, while laser energy is focused on the subcutaneous fat cells.

During this phase, the temperatures are generated between 42°C and 47°C , breaking down the subcutaneous fat in the affected areas – without damaging the surrounding tissues. As the laser thermolysis machine utilizes heat energy, it stimulates more collagen and elastin production, giving patients with loose, lax skin – a tighter and firmer skin. The treatment is pain-free and has no downtime or restrictions. The body contouring procedure is so simple and convenient that it’s possible to schedule an appointment even during your lunch break.

The application of heat results in damage to the targeted fat cells’ structure. Subsequently, the damaged fat cells are expelled from the body over the following 8 to 12 weeks.

• Reduce the appearance and the texture appearance of cellulite
• Reduce bulging problem areas

Which Treatment is Suitable for me?

Since every person is different in terms of their physical proportions, genetic makeup, lifestyle, dietary habits, treatment suitability can also vary from person to person. Body Sculpting is not a fat reduction procedure that follows the ‘one size fits all’ principle. Research conducted in this area shows that the fat cells are more fragile to therapeutic levels of heat and cold, and are therefore able to be destroyed. Some people have fat cells that are more cold-resistance while the fat cells in others may be heat-resistant. By using a combination of CoolSculpting, which is a fat-freezing procedure, and SculpSure laser thermolysis technologies, we can target both types of fat cell populations. This way your transformation becomes a reality.

At Ensoul, we have dedicated ourselves to help you achieve your specific needs. In that direction, we offer a comprehensive range of services that can convert your dreams of a shapely body into beautiful reality.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon will I see results?
You will start noticing results as soon as 3 weeks after undergoing the treatment. The results of CoolSculpting procedure will be visible in around 2 to 3 months. However, the destroyed fat cells will continue to be removed from the body for as long as 6 months.

How many treatments will I need for the CoolSculpting?
It varies from person to person as each of us is different in terms of physical proportions, problem areas, genetic makeup and dietary habits. A clear picture of treatment requirements will emerge after a personal consultation with Dr. Kenneth Thean/ Dr Chiam. Based on the findings of the consultation, the treatment plan will be finalized.

Am I the Ideal Candidate for CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is not meant to be a weight reduction program for people who are grossly overweight or obese. CoolSculpting is aimed at achieving better body contours by ridding the stubborn fat cells that resist conventional solutions like diet control and exercise.

CoolSculpting is for you, if:

• You are relatively healthy;
• You can grab at least an inch of fat, from the desired area, between your thumb and index finger;
• You are not pregnant.
• To find out if CoolSculpting is for you, contact us at +65 6836 2833 or WhatsApp +65 9646 3242

How does it work and what type of results can I expect?
Since each of us is unique and have our own individual factors, it is important that we develop, after a detailed consultation, a customized treatment plan based upon your specific goals and concerns, and the constraints of your body. Studies have indicated that average fat reduction in people who underwent CoolSculpting was in 20-25% range and is long lasting, especially in people who live a healthy lifestyle.

What are the risks?
CoolSculpting is a relatively safe procedure with minimal health risks attached to it. Common side effects associated with the procedure include tingling, minor bruising of the skin, redness or numbness in the targeted area. However, these side-effects are not permanent and generally disappear within a few days.

What does it feel like?
It’s a painless procedure and the only sensation that patients feel during the procedure is that of cold air against the treatment area. Apart from a gentle, tugging sensation against the skin surface, when the applicator is applied against it, there is no pain or discomfort involved. The treatment generally lasts between half an hour to two hours.

How much does the CoolSculpting procedure cost?
The cost of CoolSculpting depends upon factors like the size of the targeted area, the number of areas to be treated, the patient’s desired results etc. Visit us and avail a complimentary consultation session today.

Can I do both CoolSculpting and SculpSure together?
Of course, it is possible to simultaneously undergo SculpSure and CoolSculpting procedures on the same day or in the same week, on different parts of the body. Since some fat cells are sensitive to heat and others are sensitive to cold, using both the procedures will help achieve better results.

For more information, call +65 6836 2833 or WhatsApp us on +65 9646 3242

Difference between COOLSCULPTING & SCULPSURE VS LIPOSUCTION
Fat removal is possible through any of these three methods. Liposuction is a surgical treatment that has to be done under anaesthesia, and sucks out fat with the help of tubes inserted into the targeted fat areas. It is an invasive procedure and takes time to heal. On the other hand, CoolSculpt And Sculpsure are non-invasive, non-surgical procedures that use extremely low temperatures and high temperatures respectively to rid the body of fat cells.

Reverse Signs of Aging with PDRN Therapy

Rejuran is a skin healing treatment that has surged in popularity in recent years. Rejuran is also commonly referred to as Rejuran Healer, PDRN Therapy, Miracle Healer Injection, or 婴儿针.

So what is Rejuran Healer?

Rejuran Healer is a filler treatment made of polynucleotides(PN). Nucleotides put together form a long chain of polynucleotide, also known as DNA. Simply put, polynucleotide is DNA. It was first made popular in Asian countries such as Korea and Japan where smooth, luminous complexion was viewed as beautiful and healthy.

The DNA extract in Rejuran Healer is obtained from salmon. Other than providing you omega-3 fatty acids if you consume the fish, salmon DNA possesses multiple benefits for the skin. Research has shown that salmon DNA is an effective key ingredient for addressing aging skin by rejuvenating and repairing the skin from inside.

Because of its natural skin rejuvenating and healing effects, Rejuran Healer treatment is often used by doctors to treat the following conditions, often with very good results:

• Dark eye circles
• Enlarged pores
• Wrinkles and fine lines
• Acne scars

Specifications

What is Polynucleotide (PN)?

A Polynucleotide molecule is a biopolymer composed of 13 or more nucleotide monomers covalently bonded in a chain. It is created using salmon DNA fragments, which is known to be safe and compatible in the human body without causing any adverse side effects.

The use of PN in skin rejuvenation is mainly based on the wound healing an anti-inflammatory properties, with many studies having shown that PN stimulates cell growth and wound healing.

These molecules have been proven to induce long term skin regeneration from within the inner skin layer, therefore improving skin health, skin elasticity and restores skin damage caused by aging and sun.

How It Works

Topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment to minimise any pain or discomfort. Rejuran Healer is placed in the inner skin layer by a series of micro-injections to activate self-regeneration ability of skin, improve thickness of epidermis and dermis and overall elasticity of skin, keeping you looking youthful and achieving healthy skin.

Benefits of Rejuran Healer:

• Skin Tightening
• Improves skin density and elasticity
• Improves skin texture and skin tone
• Reduces fine lines
• Recovers protective layers of skin
• Balances oil and moisture of skin
• Pore tightening
• Reduces sebum
  
  

What is the difference between Skin Boosters & Skin Healer?

Although both treatments are administered in a rather similar manner, they have different functions and work quite differently.

Restylane SkinBoosters using hyaluronic acid dermal fillers to moisturise the skin by administering tiny amounts in the superficial layer of the skin. This treatment gives the skin a smoother appearance by plumping up the skin, which leads to reduced appearance of fine lines.

On the other hand, Rejuran Healer treatment takes a more aggressive approach to anti-aging. It repairs and heals damaged skin cells and reverses signs of aging to keep the skin young and healthy.

In conclusion, both Restylane SkinBoosters and Rejuran Healer treatments work in very different ways to address aging and promote skin rejuvenation. Combining both treatments can achieve better anti-aging and skin rejuvenation effects.

Best For

People with severely aged skin who wish to undergo non-surgical treatment to repair the skin from within. Rejuran Healer is also a suitable treatment for people with dull, patchy skin with wrinkles and fine lines. Adults with scars can also achieve good wound healing results with this treatment. Overall, Rejuran Healer is a great option for people who wish to achieve age-reversal and youth-regenerating effects non-surgically.

Treatment areas:

Face, cheek, lips, neck, hands, knees, and on stretchmarks. It can very well target difficult areas like the corner of your eyes, the corners of the mouth and the area under the eyes.

Doctor’s Advice & Recommendation

What can I expect after the treatment?

You may get some mild swelling at the injection sites. However, the redness and swelling should be significantly reduced with LED Red Light Therapy. Most people can go back to work almost immediately.

It is also important to understand that this treatment does not involve facial augmentation using dermal fillers, therefore you are unlikely to see any visible results instantly.

Skin healing process usually takes about 4 weeks to take effect and repair the skin from the inside. As Rejuran Healer treatment is essentially a skin healing procedure using salmon DNA, it takes about 4 weeks to see any visible improvement in your skin texture.

Rejuran Healer is composed of high biocompatible DNA fragment to our body; it has no side effects such as tolerance and immune response after administration and restore skin fundamentally without overgrowth.

To yield the full benefits of Rejuran Healer treatment, it is advisable to undergo a skin healing program of 4 sessions about 3 weeks apart. This is to ensure that the results are long-lasting and sustainable.

Skin Lifting with Dermal Fillers

Specifications

What is Juvederm?

Juvéderm is a same-day treatment that can be used to give you a long-lasting and natural beauty lift. It can smoothen wrinkles and folds, give your mouth a fuller, more sensuous form, or restore facial volume which has been lost with age. Results are immediate and discrete, with little or no recovery time.

Juvéderm is made from NASHA gel (Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid). HA is found naturally in our skin. The resilience and youthful contours of your skin and its ability to counter the effects of time, wind and weather, owes much to hyaluronic acid (HA). Juvéderm Volite contains cross-linked hyaluronic acid which allow the duration of efficacy to be much longer than the normal HAs. It can absorb water 100 times its weight to give our skin its youthful, plump appearance. This marvelous molecule is now used in most dermal fillers to delay aging. Commonly known as “Liquid Facelift” which not only restores lost volume, but also fills up wrinkles, and lifts aging skin. This treatment can improve skin’s hydration in 1 treatment for up to 9 months.

The consistency of the NASHA gel in Juvéderm is custom tailored to match the tissue structures in your skin. Nutrients, oxygen and hormones pass freely though the gel, maintaining the health and vitality of your skin. Injections of Juvéderm stimulates your body to produce more of its own natural collagen in the treated areas, and this can contribute to improve which you will experience gradually. Since the body has its own system for absorbing hyaluronic acid, it slowly disappears over time without a trace.

Juvederm Volite is one of the products that can be used to hydrate the lips as well.

At the same time, it adds volume to deficient areas and smooth out wrinkles and fine lines to make them less visible. This procedure is convenient, it can take about 30 minutes to complete.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Skin Rejuvenation

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Skin Rejuvenation, also known as IPL photorejuvenation, is a popular “must-have” facial skin rejuvenation therapy these days. It is a non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatment designed to produce younger and healthier looking skin. Studies performed worldwide have shown that IPL photorejuvenation is much more superior than what facial cream and products can do.

What Is Skin Rejuvenation?

Constant exposure to the sun can damage the skin and cause common skin imperfections such as redness, freckles, age spots and uneven skin texture. And to help you combat this skin damage, Clear Skincare Clinics’ simple and affordable IPL Rejuvenation Treatments works to rejuvenate your skin and visibly reduce skin imperfections. Delivering intense pulsed light to the skin and is absorbed by unwanted skin pigmentations, causing the pigment to shatter and seal the surrounding small blood vessels. The heat energy of the laser stimulates new collagen production, firms the skin and reduces skin pore size, resulting in a more perfect looking skin.

Specifications

An IPL treatment uses the power of broadband light to improve the appearance of sun spots, rosacea, age spots, and skin texture. The treatment can also be used for hair removal, photo rejuvenation, as well as to alleviate dermatologic diseases like acne. It is a popular treatment because its effective, affordable, and non-invasive.

What Do IPL Procedures Do For Your Skin?

A handheld device is passed across the skin delivering pulses of broad spectrum light to the deep layers of the skin. Since the handheld device employs a light to influence the skin on a molecular level, there is no need for any incisions or injections. You can think of it like a blinking flashlight, sending out scattered wavelengths of light, making an IPL very targeted for specific problem areas or skin concerns.

How will it improve my skin?

IPL is one of the most effective treatments for removing pigmentation (brown spots and sun spots.) It can also remove diffused redness and red spider veins, leaving your skin younger and fresher. IPL also stimulates the cells responsible for producing collagen, thereby improving the texture of your skin, refining the size of your pores and diminishing the appearance of fine lines. It is ideal for the face, neck and chest and also for the backs of the hands.

Who is Suitable For This Treatment?

IPL is ideal if you are noticing colour changes in your skin, such as redness or pigmentation. IPL treats sun damage, eliminates most pigmentation, evens out red veins to restore evenly coloured skin, improves skin radiance, reduces pore size and freshens skin to delay ageing. It is not suitable for darker skin colours. IPL is also a fast, safe method of long-term hair removal all over the body.

What the treatment involves:

Depending of the patient’s skin condition, the doctor will regulate the intensity of the light pulses. The light pulses have a specific range of wavelengths, which will heat up the problem areas. Treatment usually takes about 20 minutes.

After the treatment:

In general, most patients can resume normal activities and apply make-up immediately. The treated area may be slightly red. This usually fades away after several hours. Patients are advised to apply sunscreen on the treated area before leaving the clinic to protect the treated area from sunlight. It is normal for areas with pigmentation to turn darker in colour. These areas will take 5 to 7 days to return to normal skin colour.

Doctor’s Advice & Recommendation

How many sessions do I need?

IPL photorejuvenation can be done regularly for facial skin improvement and maintenance. You can also have a “quick fix” IPL photorejuvenation session done to give your facial skin a boost, about 1 week before attending an important event.

For optimal results, more than 1 treatment sessions will be required. The number of sessions and efficacy of treatment vary from person to person, depending on the existing skin condition and individual skin concern. The optimal IPL Photorejuvenation treatment protocol consists of 4 to 8 treatments. Each treatment is 3 to 4 weeks apart.

IPL photorejuvenation can be done concurrently with other treatment for even better skin rejuvenation results

Skin Peel Renewal

What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel is a skin resurfacing procedure that can improve the skin quality and appearance of the skin on the face, neck and/or hands.

This non invasive treament uses chemical solution to exfoliate the top layers of the dead skin cells to allow new skin to regrow. Giving the new and regenerated skin a much smoother feel and radiant glow.

There are three basic types of chemical peels:

1. Superficial or lunchtime peel: The chemical peel is used to penetrate only the outer layer of skin to gently exfoliate it. The treatment is used to improve the appearance of mild skin discoloration and rough skin as well as to refresh the face, neck, chest or hands.
2. Medium peel: The medium peel is used to penetrate the outer and middle layers of skin to remove damaged skin cells. The treatment is used to improve age spots, fine lines and wrinkles, freckles and moderate skin discoloration. It also can be used to smooth rough skin and treat some precancerous skin growths, i.e. actinic keratosis.
3. Deep peel: Trichloroacetic acid or phenol is applied to deeply penetrate the middle layer of skin to remove damaged skin cells. The treatment removes moderate lines, age spots, freckles and shallow scars. Patients will see a dramatic improvement in skin appearance. The procedure is used on the face and only can be performed once.

What are the benefits of chemical peel?

Chemical peel is effective in treating a range of skin conditions because the desired depth of the damage is entirely dependent upon the doctor after assessing the skin condition to be treated.

If performed by an experienced doctor, the treated skin will be visibly brighter, resulting in a more youthful complexion with less visible appearance of pigmentation.

Unlike traditional chemical peels that work by damaging the surface skin to get to the deeper, newer skin underneath, Our skin peel uses a patented technology that does not immediately damage the surface of the skin. Acid activity starts when the chemical is fully absorbed by the skin, and acid protons are activated in a controlled manner as they exert their full effects on different layers of the skin.

With less immediate damage done on the skin surface, Skin Peel Renewal is a remarkable chemical peel treatment that causes less surface trauma without compromising on the efficacy of the treatment.

It is also effective for treating conditions such as pigmentation, wrinkles, acne and uneven skin tone and texture.

Who is a good candidate for chemical peel?

This chemical peel treatment is best suited for people with sun-damaged skin, pigmentation, uneven skin tone, and fine lines on the skin. It can also be used to treat some superficial acne scarring.

This gentle chemical peel is also beneficial for people with acne-prone skin because of severely clogged pores. This treatment gently removes the accumulation of dead skin cells and debris that are lodged deeply in the pores. By doing so, it clears the skin to reduce the inflammation and growth of Propionibacterium acnes, an acne bacteria.

What is the downtime associated with skin peel renewal treatment?

Unlike traditional chemical peel that damages the skin surface, this chemical peel induces very little damage and has minimal downtime. This effective chemical peel allows the patient to resume their daily activities after the procedure.

Additional Benefits

• Deep cleansing for the skin
• Smoother skin texture
• Unclogging of pores, removal of dead skin cells
• Brighter, softer skin
• Skin rejuvenation and repair
• Reduce uneven skin tone and texture

Repair Acne MediFacial

The Ensoul Medi Glow Facial (70mins) is a unique face therapy for deep cleansing, smoothening and improving your skin tone and texture. Suitable for all skin types, the treatment is customised and tailored to the individ- ual’s needs. It is excellent for eliminating acne, wrinkles and brightening up dull skin and giving it a natural radiant glow.

Before embarking upon a treatment, Our doctors first assess the patient’s skin condition and prescribes a customised treatment combination that is appropriate for the individual’s skin needs.

The Process

1. Deep Cleansing
Firstly, our therapist cleanses the patients’ face using DR. KT’s Oil Free Cleanser to remove all traces of make up, oil and sweat that have accumulated on the skin, through the course of the day. Proper and thor- ough cleansing is crucial as it prevent surface breakouts and also helps to brighten any dullness, ultimately enhancing skin complexion.

2. Skin Peel Repair
After cleansing, a layer of skin peel repair is applied to help to clear excess sebum and debris from the skin follicles. This stage of the therapy aids in clearing active acne lesions and also prevents the formation of fu- ture acne lesions. The dermabrasion also helps in reducing wrinkles and discolourations of the skin.

3. Medical Extraction
Medical extractions are an important part of the acne treatment process. Medical extractions are considered an excellent way to clean out comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and also help in speedier clearing of acne. When applied in combination with a chemical peel, medical extractions prove even more effective in the treatment of acne. During the medical extraction process, the therapist will extract the clogged pores, comedones, and inflammatory acne lesions on the skin. This process works even better when performed immediately after a chemical peel. This is because the chemical peel helps to firmly remove excess sebum and debris from the skin follicles, resulting in neutralisation of active acne lesions and the prevention of fu- ture acne lesions.

4. Intense Pulse Light (IPL) – Hair Removal & Skin Rejuvenation
IPL laser is a medical technology where an intense, visible, broad-spectrum pulse light is passed through the skin. The filtered bands of light are made up of various wavelengths that deeply penetrate the skin and effec- tively solve the different skin-related concerns. In Medi Glow Facial therapy, two types of light are utilised- Hair Removal & Skin Rejuvenation.

TREATMENT BENEFITS

IPL Hair Removal Benefit

The bacteria that cause oily skin, travel from the skin’s pores via facial hair, resulting in the oil and bacteria spreading to adjacent pores. Clients with thick, dark hair, usually suffer ingrown hairs that spread bacteria, trapped in the pores, leading to acne flare ups. Eliminating hair, with facial laser hair removal, will signifi- cantly reduce breakouts because there will no longer be any hair available, for the bacteria to cling on to. The sebaceous glands are also likely to produce less oil after a treatment. And with less oil, there’s less acne.
Since acne develops when the skin cells don’t shed properly—meaning they don’t exit your body—unblock- ing these glands will substantially reduce further development of acne as sebum, oils, and bacteria will no longer be trapped within them. The scars that usually accompany current outbreaks of acne, will also get re- duced.

Skin Rejuvenation with IPL

The additional benefit of IPL is that it instantly rejuvenates the skin apart from lightening the dark spots caused by hyperpigmentation. IPL technology comes with the advantage of stimulating collagen production in the subdermal layer of the skin and acting as a pore minimiser. You can literally witness fine lines and wrinkles disappear, leaving you with a smoother, more even skin tone and complexion. With new genera- tion IPL technology, you can heal damaged skin, restoring your natural complexion with an added radiance.

Hydro Cooling Anti-Aging Mask

The Hydro Cooling Anti-Aging Mask has several peeling edges, which are very effective at exfoliating the skin. It helps to remove dead cells form the outermost layer of the skin which in turn help exfoliation, clean- ing out impurities to rejuvenate the complexion.

Tonifying activity Spirulina is very rich in vitamins E, C and A (retinol) – recognised for their anti-ageing activity. While stimulating the cell’s renewal, they improve the tissues’ tonicity. The vitamin A has an espe- cially skin-tightening effect while increasing the collagen fiber’s rejuvenation rate. Associated with the vita- min E and its strong anti-oxidant action, the vitamin A helps to firm up the skin. The menthol cryo-complex content in the mask has a calming and refreshing action. Spirulina, with origins in the marine world, strengthens this feeling thanks to the revitalising minerals and trace elements it releases.

When applied to the face, it behaves as a second skin which takes on the exact shape of the treated area’s contours. A skin-tightening effect is felt during the treatment. The mask contains algae that helps cool and refresh the skin. has Along with a lifting effect and anti-inflammatory action, it – tightens enlarged pores, improves blood circulation, increases oxygen supply and promotes the resorption of stagnant spots from acne and pimples. Its draining effect (improves blood flow and lymph flow) improves the complexion and serves as a good barrier against premature aging.

The advantages of the mask are that it is useful and effective for normal, combination, dry, and oily skin types. Alginate mask can be used for the care of aged skin – one of its distinct advantage as it prevents the appearance of early wrinkles by promoting smooth skin and balancing the skin tone.

Your Solutions to Deep Acne Scarring.

What is Venus Viva Nanofractional RF™ Resurfacing?

Venus Viva™ is a revolutionary, fully customizable FDA cleared solution for facial remodeling and skin resurfacing. Delivering impressive efficacy through combining NanoFractional Radio Frequency™ (RF) and one-of-a-kind SmartScan™ technology, Venus Viva gives consistent and predictable outcomes that give immediate and long term results. The non-invasive fractional systems use radio frequency to effectively improve the appearance of uneven skin texture and reduce other signs of skin damage without affecting the surrounding tissue. It is the first and only fractional radio frequency (RF) system that allows operator control of ablation, coagulation, and resurfacing for enhanced efficacy in resolving mild to severe skin damage.

Patented Technology

NanoFractional™ Radio Frequency is delivered via a patented tip technology that creates micro-wounds in the skin to activate the natural wound healing process. The high temperatures cause collagen remodeling and triggers neocollagenesis. Surrounding intact skin serves as a reservoir for stem cells and relevant proteins which means faster healing and less downtime.

How does it work?

What’s great about the Venus skin resurfacing treatment is that it can be done quickly, and unlike the CO2 laser, it is “colour-blind” and can be performed on tanned skin and darker skin tones without the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation. Because of its Nano Fractional technology, the micro wounds created are able to heal more quickly and therefore the downtime is lesser than that of other fractional resurfacing treatments. As it is fully customisable with different energy settings, it is able to treat a wide range of indications.

A couple of passes with a low energy setting on the skin has very little downtime (2-3 days) and patients can treat visible large pores, diminish fine lines and wrinkles and achieve a smooth, even skin tone and texture. As micro channels have been created, the results can be enhanced by application of serums post-treatment.

Multiple passes with a higher energy setting can be used to treat patients with active acne, as well well as patients with acne scars. The downtime would be slightly longer depending on the settings and can last up to a week.

How is the Nanofractional RF performed?

After cleansing the face thoroughly, a layer of numbing cream is used to reduce discomfort during the procedure. The treatment only takes about 15 – 20 minutes, after which a cooling gel will be applied to soothe the face.

Are there any side effects?

Your skin will experience some redness, dryness and peeling of the skin for the following 3-4 days. It is normal and part of the resurfacing process. However, you can resume your normal daily activities immediately after the procedure without any hassle.

LED PhotoTherapy

In this treatment, the energy from red coloured to blue coloured light and to infrared light is used to heal skin conditions. Originally conceived to speed up the healing process for wounds and surgery related scars, SMARTLUX LED LITE is used extensively in skin rejuvenation and elimination of acne scars,

SMARTLUX uses High Intensity Phototherapy Device to deliver healing power and energy of light composed of red, blue,and Infrared with high-intensity SLDs (Super-luminous diodes) developed by SMART Phototherapy technologies. From wound healing and pain relief to improvement of dermatological conditions, anti-aging treatment, a boost to skin’s radiance, SMARTLUX effects exceptional results with its various wavelengths selection and wide variety of irradiation angle.

How Does It Work?

The LED SmartLux system uses light to stimulate cells, which start to activate their own vital functions and produce more enzymes. Photorejunvenation using the LED lamp activates photosensitive receptors int he cells to generate energy. From here, the photo rejuvenation leads to nourishment and regeneration of cells, on the face. Skin cells become gradually stronger thereby producing visible rejuvenation effect.

The treatment is extremely pleasant and relaxing, it demonstrates high efficacy. Patients are exposed to regenerating light that not only rejuvenates and revitalise the skin, but also alleviates pain and exhibits anti-inflammatory properties.

Who is suitable?

The red diode light (633nm)is meant for increasing the cell production rate through a process known as photobiostimulation, which increases production of collagen and elastin. As a result of accelerated microcirculation, the skin tone improves and fine wrinkles get smoothed out. Usually the LED Light Therapy is used to complement other procedures such as photo-rejuvenation, radio frequency needling, plasma therapy, chemical peeling etc. It boosts the treatment effect, speeds up the reparation cycles, and aids the post-surgery healing process.

The blue diode light (415nm) is used in acne treatment. It reduces the acne bacteria population, stops excess sebum, promotes production of elastin and Collagen. Appropriate for sensitive skin types, it is also used in conjunction with other therapies to treat acne conditions.

The Infrared light therapy (830nm) is for anti-inflammation, wound healing and pain relief. Stimulates muscle tissue repair. Especially healing and aiding recovery from surgery and after highly demanding treatments such as chemical peels and IPL.

The advantages of LED technology:

• Pain relief
• Skin Revitality
• Improved immunity
• Minimal side-effects
• Can be done all year round
• Quick recovery after painless treatment

Doctor’s Advice & Recommendation

A good post treatment that complements other combined modalities. Patients can resume their normal active lifestyle immediately after the treatment. The first effects emerge after approximately 1.5months and are dependent on the condition of the skin as well as patient’s age and individual features.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) For Acne

Acne and pimple treatments have come a long way in recent years, treating acne successfully is easier once it is better understood. Approximately 90% of all adolescents and 25% of all adults experience acne at some point in their lives. Acne, (or pimples) are further affected by eating chocolate, greasy foods or bad hygiene. It is caused by simply growing up — puberty and pimples seem to go hand in hand.

Acne is a common, chronic skin condition caused by inflammation of oil-producing sebaceous glands. Acne problems usually begin between the ages of ten and thirteen, and can persist for five to ten years. Acne and pimple breakouts are very common on the face, but can also occur on the neck, chest, back, shoulders, upper arms and legs, as well as the scalp.

IPL Acne Therapy is an effective new light-based therapeutic therapy is now revolutionizing the treatment of acne. The IPL Acne Therapy destroys the most common bacteria that cause acne — without drugs, without pain and without downtime. The IPL system has FDA clearance for the treatment of acne.

IPL is one of the safest acne treatments available…proven to be extremely effective on moderate inflammatory acne. Its technology uses light that is UV-safe and has no known side effects.

How does it work?

The advantage of IPL is that this technology utilizes a broad spectrum light source that could be used to perform various skin treatments for aesthetic and therapeutic uses (hair removal, acne, rosacea, age spots). Various cutoff filters are commonly used with the universal device handpiece to narrow the wavelengths to target specific penetration depths under the epidermis. For effective acne treatment, three filters are applied – 420 nm (blue light), 560 nm (yellow light) and 590 nm (red light) – each having a distinctive property, i.e. destroying the Proprionibacterium acnes bacteria, treating inflammatory acne lesions and inhibiting overactive sebaceous oil glands, respectively.

IPL Hair Removal Benefit

The bacteria that cause oily skin, travel from the skin’s pores via facial hair, resulting in the oil and bacteria spreading to adjacent pores. Clients with thick, dark hair, usually suffer ingrown hairs that spread bacteria, trapped in the pores, leading to acne flare ups. Eliminating hair, with facial laser hair removal, will significantly reduce breakouts because there will no longer be any hair available, for the bacteria to cling on to. The sebaceous glands are also likely to produce less oil after a treatment. And with less oil, there’s less acne.
Since acne develops when the skin cells don’t shed properly—meaning they don’t exit your body—unblock- ing these glands will substantially reduce further development of acne as sebum, oils, and bacteria will no longer be trapped within them. The scars that usually accompany current outbreaks of acne, will also get reduced.

Treatment for

IPL is the most versatile multi-application platform that provides the most popular, non-invasive aesthetic procedures. It is effective in treating vascular lesions that result to spider or telangiectatic veins. These are veins which capillaries have been broken, leading to the appearance of the veins on the surface of the skin. IPL can be used to blast these broken capillaries, destroy them eventually, cut the blood flow into these veins, and let the veins die until they are reabsorbed by the body. However, the actual effects of IPL still depend on the severity, size, and site of the vascular lesions. IPL can also be used to lighten prominent birthmarks by destroying the pigment-producing cells that cause the discolouration.

The technique is also effective in treating skin conditions caused by prolonged or consistent exposure to the sun (photo damage). These include age spots and freckles. It can also treat melasma, acne, and stretch marks. What the technology does is destroy the cells that produce melanin, the pigment that provides colour to the skin. Once these cells are destroyed, the body is forced to generate newer skin cells, which lead to a more even skin tone.

IPL can also be used for removing unwanted hair in the bikini line, face, underarms, legs, and chest by destroying the follicles that produce hair. It is more effective on people with dark hair.

Since the treatment is broad, it usually takes at least three treatments before the desired results are achieved. The sessions are spaced a month apart to give the skin enough time to heal.

Doctor’s Advice & Recommendation

Like laser treatments, IPL is not a regulated procedure, which means anyone who has been trained to operate the machine can perform the procedure. For your safety and peace of mind, however, it’s best if the technician has other certifications or training aside from using the machine. He or she should have a deeper knowledge of skin and the conditions that affect it. One can also look for clinics with professional aestheticians.

Before the treatment, the doctor will evaluate the condition of the skin to confirm if it is suitable for IPL.

For the procedure, the targeted area, such as the face, will be cleansed first, removing any dirt that may reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. A cold gel is then applied to the skin to significantly minimize the burning sensation. The patient is also provided with a protective eyewear, which should be worn throughout the course of the therapy.

The aesthetician controls the intensity or wavelength of the light pulses that come out of the IPL head during the treatment.

After the therapy, the patient can go back to regular activities, as long as exposure to the sun is avoided

Ensoul Intensif Scar Reduction Treatment

FDA-approved, non-invasive micro-needling and radio frequency (RF) treatment

The Ensoul Intensif Scar Reduction Treatment is a minimally invasive medical aesthetic procedure that uses microneedle fractional radiofrequency (MFRF) to treat acne scars, improve skin texture, reduce pore size and firm the skin via dermal collagen remodelling.

How Does It Work?

The Intensif RF Microneedling treatment is the first FDA cleared non-insulated motorized miconeedle RF technology that uses tiny sterile needles to prick through the top layer of the skin to deliver radiofrequency (RF) energy. This creates micro-zones of coagulation in the papillary and reticular dermis with minimal damage to the epidermis. The micropuncture and RF energy stimulate fibroblasts to produce more new collagen and elastin fibers.

RF energy is delivered to both layers of the skin simultaneously, resulting in epidermal resurfacing and dermal stimulation for deeper remodelling. The RF technology device maintains a dermis temperature of 52°C while the temperature at the epidermis, the top layer of the skin, remains below 40°C. This controlled energy is delivered through a precise hand-piece. The RF energy can be adjusted for different applications and treatment areas.

The delivery of radiofrequency energy to ablate the epidermis immediately around the electrodes of the device, with the simultaneous dermal treatment under the conductive pins produces superior effects when compared to fractional CO2 laser.

The Intensif’s high precision needle depth, adjustable and ranging from 0.5mm to 5mm, provides the most effective treatment strength suitable to the particular treatment area. The perfect solution for treating acne, acne scars, stretchmarks, deep wrinkles and improving skin texture, Intensif treatments provide significant initial visible results, with continual skin improvement, well after the completion of treatments.

Understanding the Types of Acne Scars

There are two main types of acne scars – Atrophic Scars (caused by loss of tissue) and Hypertrophic Scars (caused by an excess of tissue). Within these categories, there are four subtypes of acne scars;

Atrophic Scars


1. Ice Pick Scars – deep, narrow scars that extend into the dermis which is caused by after an infection from a cyst or deep inflamed blemish that destroyed the skin tissue.
2. Boxcar Scars – round and oval depression with steep vertical sides, leaving the skin uneven and pitted. When an inflammatory breakout destroys collagen, the tissue is lost. The skin over this area is left without support, creating a depressed area.
3. Rolling Scars – a wave-like depression across normal looking skin making the skin look uneven and craggy. It is developed when fibrous bands of tissue develop between the skin and subcutaneous tissue below. These bands pull the epidermis, binding it to deeper structures of the skin. It is this pulling of the epidermis from within that creates the rolling appearance of the skin.
4. Hypertrophic and Keloid Scars
Hypertrophic Scars are raised firm scars that grow above the surface of the skin. It more often happens after a deep wound or trauma. While Keloid Scars is a more severe type of raised scar which is raised farther than the wound itself and can continue to grow long after the original wound has healed. Unlike ice pick and boxcar scars, hypertrophic scars are not caused by a loss of tissue. Rather, they develop because of an overproduction of collagen. In the case of keloids, it’s like the skin doesn’t know that the wound has healed, and continues to produce collagen.

Doctor’s Advice & Recommendation

The Process

Before undergoing any treatment, Our doctors will first assess the condition of the patients’ skin and identify the type of acne scars. As different skin types and acne scars require different treatments, a tailored approach, such as choosing the suitable treatment modalities and customizing the power settings for the individual is required.

Once the treatment procedure has been established, he will run through with the patient on what to expect during and after the treatment. The patient will then be brought to the treatment room for the cleansing of the face, followed by applying topical numbing cream for approximately 45 minutes to help relieve any potential discomfort.

After the numbing cream has been removed, the doctors will then start the treatment, constantly adjusting the device parameters to treat the different problem areas of the skin to ensure optimal skin remodelling.

There is minimal discomfort during the treatment process. The procedure is very safe as the skin temperature will be constantly monitored around 38°C to 40°C during the treatment. The treatment takes about 60 minutes depending on the size of the treated area.

After the Intensif Scar Reduction Treatment has been completed, the therapist will begin to calm the skin with Dr. KT’s Skin Revitalise Ion Infusion Therapy. It is a safe and effective procedure that facilitates transdermal delivery of molecules that would otherwise be difficult to transport thorough the skin at optimum concentration that result in significant improvement in scar reduction.

Most patients would see a reduction of acne scars and acne blemishes after the first session. Microneedling RF acne scar treatment also provides additional benefits – making the skin firmer and brighter.

To see optimal results for acne scarring, it is recommended to complete a series of treatments. This program will be planned and adjusted according to the patients’ progress following each session.

We usually add a no downtime Pico laser fractional treatment in between the Intensif Scar Reduction Treatment sessions to harness the synergistic effect of the Pico Laser’s Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB) to further reduce the depth of the acne scars.

Doctor’s Advice & Recommendation

For facial lifting and tightening, some results can be seen immediately after treatment, but optimal results can be seen over the course of 4-12 weeks post treatment. For most patients, one treatment may be recommended, but some patients may opt for follow-up treatments.

Enhance Your Eyes for A Fresher, Younger Look

Restore a younger, fresher appearance with EN-TAUT Eye treatment which specifically targets the eye area.

Early signs of ageing are typically first seen around the eyes, the delicate, thin skin in this area is prone to laxity, fine lines and wrinkles, impairment of skin quality and is more susceptible to sun and environmental damage. Premature peri-orbital ageing which most clients’ experience, reduces youthful appearance and gives the face a fatigued look.

Due to the delicate nature of the skin in this area, along with safety concerns relating to treatment proximity to the orbital rim, there’s limited treatment options available which effectively target ageing and tired looking eyes.

Whether your clients are concerned about droopy eyelids and eye hooding, lax skin under the eye, crow’s-feet or crepey, dull skin, EN-TAUT is an ideal treatment them.

Using 3DEEP radiofrequency in two ways simultaneously; controlled micro-resurfacing and dermal heating, EN-TAUT treatments deliver excellent clinical results which ‘open up’ and rejuvenate the eye area, by tightening and retracting eyelid hoods, tightening and lifting lax skin below the eye, smoothing crow’s feet, fine lines and wrinkles and enhancing peri-orbital skin luminosity.

When it comes to delivering EN-TAUT, there are two treatment options at differing intensities available. Each require a course of three treatments, 4 weeks apart and achieve comparable, clinical results.

Specifications

En-Taut is non-surgical eye lift to perform safe and effective rejuvenation of the eye area as an alternative to surgery.

It works in two steps by using radiofrequency to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin laxity around the eye area.

First, Skin Tightening & Lifting is carried out around the eye using a specialist handpiece. This handpiece uses the state-of-the-art ENDYMED 3DEEP Skin Science technology to deliver controlled, focused radiofrequency deep into your skin, which gently generates the optimum level of heat to stimulate your skin cells.

This encourages new collagen to be produced and, in turn, improves the underlying structures of your skin, causing it to tighten and lift.

Secondly, Skin Resurfacing & Tightening is carried out in the same area. This treatment also uses ENDYMED 3DEEP Skin Science to boost the tightening effect of the treatment but also treats the surface of the skin at the same time.

The result leaves our patients with tighter, younger and healthier-looking skin – without the pain and downtime that may be associated with surgery.

Restoring volume in sagging areas for instant lifting results

We start aging as early as age 25 and it is not something that we can not stop but we can do our best to slow it down and even reverse the signs left as time passes. Collagen is essential for healthy youthful skin because it gives structure to the cells and supports the dermis. As we age, the production of collagen reduces causing our skin to loose laxity and create wrinkles. This process is natural and can be expedited by environmental factors like smoking, sun exposure and pollution.

How can you Sustain Your Collagen?

You can help sustain your collagen with a healthy lifestyle and a collagen supporting regiment. Use sunscreen year round, drink plenty of water and help restore your skin firmness and structure with collagen formation treatments.

What is Fotona Smooth Lift?

Smooth Lift is anon-ablative laser skin remodeling based on controlled induction of thermal injury of the collagen while preserving the epidermis. In addition to an immediate effect resulting in the shrinkage of collagen fibers, the
initiation of neo-collagenesis occurs causing the generation of new collagen. The effects are an overall improvement of tightness and elasticity of the skin along with a plumping effect, much like a filler.

Specifications

The treatment is targeted at both the exterior facial and interior oral cavity. This way, the lasers can work on deeper, medial and superficial connective structures of the skin, as well as treating different skin imperfections.

This powerful procedure enables full-thickness contraction of collagen for effective skin tightening and volumisation (wrinkle reduction) without the need for injectables. The comprehensive approach to anti-aging ultimately creates a facelift-like effect for youthful complexion.

Treatment for

• Introoral
• Treats cheeks and lips from inside the mouth
• Tightens and lifts skin deeply from the inside out
• Restore volume to diminish nasolabial folds
• Plumps like filler but longer lasting
• Results often seen instantly

What is Pro Yellow Laser?

The German-engineered Pro Yellow Laser is an improved version of the commonly used Dual Yellow/Combination laser at some clinics. Due to its special wavelength of 577nm, the Pro Yellow laser represents the gold standard for vascular treatments such as vascular lesion removal and vascular laser for rosacea as well as epidermal pigmentation treatments such as depigmentation of skin. Its ability to target both pigmentation and underlying vessels for long-lasting results is one of the reasons why this laser is a popular aesthetic tool used by doctors. 

Since it is applied at a precise wavelength of 577 nm, Pro Yellow Laser is a safe option for treating a number of facial skin conditions like acne marks, rosacea, pigmentation, facial veins, and uneven skin textures. However, it must be noted that results are manifested gradually, with skin emerging clearer, more even-textured, and younger-looking too.

The Pro Yellow Difference

The main differences between the Pro Yellow and other skin rejuvenation lasers is the wavelength and the available pulse duration adjustments of each desired wavelength. In other words, different laser wavelengths (colors of light) target different skin issues, providing the physician can match the proper wavelength with the proper pulse durations to achieve the desired clinical endpoint without affecting the surrounding tissue.

Traditionally, the most commonly used laser wavelength for the treatment of pigmented lesions (such as sun spots & age spots) and vascular lesions (or unsightly veins) has been the 532nm laser, or green laser light.

Green lasers provide very good results in skin types I to III (fairer skin tone), but 532nm is no longer the ideal wavelength (or color) for targeting vascular lesions for skin types IV and V (darker skin tone). 

Color Matters

The industry’s first 577nm pure yellow laser for skin rejuvenation, provides the best absorption when treating blood vessels. Compared to the standard green wavelength (532nm), the yellow wavelength is able to produce 40% higher absorption in blood. This translates to less required power during treatment, which in turn provides a number of significant advantages, including:

Depth Matters

The majority of visible unwanted skin spots, discoloration or redness (blood vessels), are rooted in a deeper vascular network of veins that that extend beyond the treatable depth of traditional green (532nm) lasers. Not addressing these areas can result in recurrence and the inability to effectively treat deeper pigmented and vascular issues.

The Pro Yellow laser penetrates deeper than standard green lasers, simultaneously addressing both visible lesions and underlying vessels. This also allows for safe treatment of a wider variety of indications for both light and dark skin types.

Treatment for

A Wide Variety of Treatment Options

Vascular Conditions

Vascular lesions are caused by small, dilated capillaries. They can appear as red spots, or visible threads on the skin. The Pro Yellow laser can readily treat think by shrinking the vessels with its yellow light, with no damage to the capillaries.

• Facial/nose veins and blood vessels – the ProYellow Laser has the highest rate of absorption in red blood cells compared to any other lasers. This results in the reduction of unsightly veins or blood vessels on the face, especially common on the cheeks and nose.
• Redness and rosacea – Redness and rosacea are caused by dilated (bigger in size) blood vessels. The ProYellow laser effectively reduces the size/or completely eliminates these blood vessels, therefore resulting in reduced redness and a more even complexion.
• Red marks after acne – These red marks are also known as PIE (Post- inflammatory Erythema) or Erythema post-acne. The red marks formed due to increased blood circulation at badly-inflamed areas such as moderate to severe acne and persist even after the acne heals. The ProYellow laser can very effectively reduce these red marks by reducing the blood vessels in these areas.
• Cherry angiomas, Telangiectasia, etc.

Pigmentation & Skin Rejuvenation

The ProYellow laser is the first laser that offers two options for treating pigmentation and skin rejuvenation. The scanner handpiece for larger areas and more diffused pigmentation, and the individual spot handpiece for targeted lesions/spots.

• Pigmentation such as melasma, sun/age spots, freckles – Due to its unique wavelength, the energy from the ProYellow laser is absorbed by both melanin (pigments) and the underlying blood vessels. This results in breakdown of pigments and at the same time, reduces the blood supply to the skin cells that produce these pigments. This will prevent these skin cells from producing pigments and ensure longer-lasting results.
• Skin rejuvenation – Apart from reducing redness and pigmentation, the ProYellow laser’s energy is also absorbed into the dermis (skin layer) to treat and improve the skin’s support structure. Skin will look brighter and feel tighter with just 1 treatment.

Doctor’s Advice & Recommendation

The Yellow laser is an effective wavelength for treating pigmented lesions, as it has the ability to target both the pigment and underlying vessels for long-lasting results. A yellow laser beam also acts as the laser treatment for acne is directed at the face, which destroys the Propionibacterium acne bacteria and shrinks the sebaceous gland to reduce the production of sebum. The yellow light also promotes collagen growth and reduces small red blood vessels. This resulting an overall tightening, firming and rejuvenating effect on skin.

I have devised various of protocols for different conditions. By using a combination of different wavelength lasers, I am able to treat and improve the efficacy of the condition. The results can also been seen longer lasting.

Tixel Skin Tightening & Contouring Treatment.

What is Tixel?

Tixel is a skin treatment that involves stamping a heated metallic plate with pyramid-shaped spikes on to the skin. It is not a laser, but instead it utilises thermo-mechanical energy to evaporate tiny channels into the skin. This stimulates new collagen formation to improve skin quality. The channels formed can be immediately used to deliver products into the skin such as tretinoin (vitamin A) or lightening agents to treat pigmentation concerns such as melasma.

The Procedure

Tixel is powered by a unique technology known as TMA (Thermo-Mechanical Action), a non-laser fractional treatment technology that can transfer thermal energy to the skin very quickly and safely. The energy is emitted through a matrix of tiny pyramid-shaped pins made of biocompatible materials covering a treatment area of 1cm². The pins are heated to a temperature of 400°C, similar to the temperature generated by a CO₂ laser beam when it interacts with the skin.

During treatment, the pins are introduced at a precisely controlled speed to the surface of the skin, after which the thermal energy stored in the pins is rapidly transferred to the skin upon brief contact lasting only a few milliseconds. The ensuant evaporation of water from the skin occurs instantaneously, resulting in the formation of tiny micropores in the treatment zone. The tiny pyramids hold a limited amount of energy and evaporate the upper layers of the skin in a controlled manner without causing burns or charring in the tissue, a side effect often seen with other energy sources such as ablative laser.

This helps reduce healing times and complications in comparison to treating all the skin at once. At the same time, it help induces new collagen formation or neo-collagenesis by stimulating the skin’s natural healing process. This process helps with improve general skin quality, wrinkles, skin texture, and can also improve acne scarring.

Another function of the Tixel treatment is that it can also be used to infuse skin care products into the skin. Products such as vitamin A or skin lightening agents can be infused into the skin after Tixel treatment to help induce further changes in the skin

Specifications

Handpiece has two types of tips:one has low thermal conductivity that is used for sensitive areas such as pre-orbital areas and the other one has high thermal conductivity.Short pulses only damage the stratum corneum, that allows delivery of drugs, serums, topical and etc.

Into the micro pores that have been created.The short pulses are often used for stimulation of collagen creating and improving the laxity of skin.

Long pulses have more aggressive effects that are corresponding to a CO2 ablative treatment that is mostly useful for Caucasian skins.

Tixel laser is more effective for improving wrinkle and lines and skin irregularities.
There is a sublative mode that is very effective for dark skins with no hyperpigmentation effect.

What is the difference between fractional CO2 and the Tixel?

Although fractional CO2 and Tixel have a similar effect on the skin, there are some key differences between the two treatments.

Because Tixel is not a laser device, there is no need to use protective eyewear for the patient or operator. It is possible to treat around the eyes, even very close to the eyelashes, without causing injury to the eyes. There is also a special Tixel handpiece that is smaller and designed specifically for the eye area. CO2 lasers do require corneal shields (metal shields that go under the eyelids) should treatment be performed within the bony orbit around the eye.

CO2 lasers also do leave a layer of char or debris on the skin whereas Tixel does not do this.

Benefits of Tixel Treatment

Tixel treats delicate facial skin incudling periorbital, eyelids, neck and decollete safely. It significantly improves the appearance of the wrinkles and the laxity of the skin. Other benefits of Tixel, it also help with skin rejuvenation , crows feet, open pores, acne and stretch marks.

Doctor’s Advice & Recommendation

Tixel is effective for improving wrinkle and lines and skin irregularities.

There is a sublative mode that is very effective for dark skins with no hyperpigmentation effect.

Tixel treatment has no bleeding, side effect or scars.The tightening is one of the highlighted results of this procedure.

It is recommened to apply Tixel Skin Tightening to your skin at least once every month intervales. The treatment can be used in combination with other laser treatment to increase the efficiency of the treatment.

Skin Resurfacing & LIfting Treatment

As the name implies, Fractional Laser Resurfacing involves treating a fraction or portion of the skin surface, leaving the remaining skin area untouched. This treatment has a beneficial impact upon the general texture of the skin even as it tackles skin anomalies such as scars, wrinkles, enlarged pores, acne scars, uneven pigmentation, and sun spots. The procedure is convenient for people short of time as it typically takes less than an hour to complete. The results, however take longer to manifest and can be noticed over the next few weeks. Even better, the skin condition continues to improve over periods as long as six months in some cases.

How Does Laser Resurfacing Work?

There are primarily two types of laser resurfacing treatments that are offered in the market: CO2 and erbium. Depending upon your skin condition, the nature of improvements required, and the downtime you can afford, one of these two procedures is recommended.

The Er:YAG operates on a 2940nm wavelength, and having optimal water absorption, the Erbium (Er) YAG Laser provides ablative skin resurfacing for scar removal. After undergoing the procedure, you’ll observe a significant improvement in your skin texture, tone, and elasticity. About 8 to 10 weeks after the treatment, you’ll see the best results.

The Fractional Handpieces are designed to allow safe, precisely controlled and optimal delivery of laser pulses to the treatment area where the technology produces an array of microscopic wounds on the skin surface that are rapidlyreepithelialized by the undamaged surrounding tissue, sparing the epidermis in the untreated areas.

Fotona offers a laser acne treatment protocol that provides a truly comprehensive solution to the problem of acne. Fotona’s precisely controlled Nd:YAG laser light safely penetrates into skin to effectively target overactive sebaceous glands and to reduce the risk of developing new acne inflammation.

For improving the appearance of acne scars, Fotona offers a complementary laser treatment based on a precise and gentle skin resurfacing procedure in which an Er:YAG laser beam is absorbed by the top micro-layers of the skin to vaporize scarred tissue and stimulate the production of new collagen in the dermis.

Fast results, Without Side-Effects

For active acne, Fotona’s laser treatment reduces acne inflammation through photoselective absorption and controlled heating effects. Fotona’s high powered Nd:YAG laser safely penetrates the skin to an optimal treatment depth to thermally and selectively destroy overactive sebaceous glands.

In addition to its thermal penetration effects, the Nd:YAG acne laser treatment also accelerates the healing process and stimulates collagen remodeling, an important step in the long-term treatment of acne.

Gentle & Effective Acne Scar Revision

For treating problematic acne scars, Fotona’s Er:YAG laser wavelength is ideal for gentle ablative scar revision. The Er:YAG laser safely and effectively provides the minimal penetration depth required for light resurfacing of acne-scarred skin, helping to improve skin texture and tone. Unlike chemical peels and dermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing allows the penetration depth to be precisely controlled. The laser gently vaporizes micron-thin layers of the acne-scarred surface to reveal healthy, undamaged skin below.

In other words, with the fractional laser, we are able to ablate away the old, worn out skin and reaplced with new, tighter and healthy skin tissue as new skin forms.

Once the skin is ablated with a light full Er:YAG beam, which finishes the treatment and removes superficial imperfections.

Using fractional light can rejuvenate the skin to produce an effect that offers a degree of control and efficacy that allows for highly precise sculpting of the skin. Treatments can extend from light touch-ups to deep collagen remodeling, ideal for patients who want drastic rejuvenation effects, but are not inclined towards aggressive surgical or chemical alternatives. This treatment is suitable for all skin types and tones, with minimal patient downtime.

RF Subscision Acne Scar Treatment

Effective Acne Scar Treatment Option

Acne is often a temporary skin disorder, most often caused by hormones, excess oil production, bacteria or when hair folicles are clogged by oil and dead skin cells. Acne scars are most often the product of an inflamed lesion, such as a papule, pustule, or cyst. Inflamed blemishes occur when the follicle, or pore, becomes engorged with excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. The pore swells, causing a break in the follicle wall. If the rupture occurs near the skin’s surface, the lesion is usually minor and heals quickly. When more serious lesions arise, deep inflammation happens, causing a deep break in the folicle wall, with infected material spills out into the dermis and destroying healthy skin tissue causing the dermis to be damaged and form scars on the skin.

To repair the damage done to the dermis, the skin forms new collagen fibers. Collagen is the fibrous protein that gives the skin its strength and flexibility. Unfortunately, the finished “”repair job”” never looks as smooth and flawless as before the injury.

Inflammation is the single greatest gauge of scar development.

The greater the inflammation on the skin, the more likely scarring is to occur. Deep breakouts that take a long time to heal also increase the chance of scarring. Blackheads, whiteheads, and other non-inflamed blemishes typically don’t cause scarring because these types of lesions don’t injure skin tissue.

Types of Acne Scars.

Acne scars are a common problem that affects many people both young and old. It can cause distress and affect the self-esteem and self confidence in many people. To recommend the most suitable treatment for you, we must first identify the types of scars you may have, in order to conclude the best treatment for your skin.

Acne scars fall into two main categories: those caused by a loss of tissue (atrophic scars), and those caused by an excess of tissue (hypertrophic scars). Within these categories, there are four main types of acne scars: ice pick, boxcar, rolling, and keloid scars. Often, what is taken to be an acne scar is not a true scar at all, but rather post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). This temporary discoloration of the skin will eventually fade on its own. Certain treatment medications, such as Dual Yellow Light and Retin-A, may speed the fading time.

How does RF subscision acne scar treatment treat acne scar?

Acne scars are often very difficult to treat. While fractional Laser is excellent for treating some acne scars, subcision acne scar treatment is a clinically proven treatment that is specifically beneficial for people with depressed scars such as rolling scars and boxcar scars. In this treatment, a blunt special RF cannula will be inserted under the skin, where the radiofrequency waves will be emitted to break and subcise the underlying fibrous tissue thereby releasing and lifting the depressed scar, restoring the smooth contour of your skin. In fact, multiple healing processes bring about acne scar improvement. The mechanical action of the needle and release of the scar tissue creates a pocket of blood beneath the skin. Blood vessels which are disrupted during the subcision allows blood to accumulate into the treated area. This blood clot prevents short-term reattachment of your scars and contains growth factors for healing. This creates an environment for collagen regeneration and improvement of your scar appearance over time.

The radiofrequency waves will also stimulate new collagen formations improving

1. Scars
2. Skin complexion
3. Skin elasticity
4. Skin lifting
5. Facial contouring
6. Reducing wrinkles

The treatment for this RF subscision acne scar is almost painless and comfortable. There will be minimal bruising and bleeding as it uses a blunt cannula, however there will be no downtime. You can resume to your daily activities immediately. Only a few skin insertion points are required as each entry point covers a large area. Apart from the volume treatment, the subcision can also be filled with injectables to help boost skin regeneration and anti aging simultaneously.

Treatment for The Different Types of Acne Scars

1)  Ice pick scars are deep, very narrow scars that extend into the dermis. The skin looks as if it has been pierced by an ice pick or sharp instrument. Ice pick scars seem to make a small, thin, deep hole into the skin. Some may look like a large, open pore.

How They Develop: Ice pick scars develop after an infection from a cyst or other deep inflamed blemish works its way to the surface. Skin tissue is destroyed, leaving a long, column-like scar.

2) Boxcar scars are round or oval depressions with steep vertical sides. Wider than ice pick scars, boxcar scars give the skin an uneven, pitted appearance.

How They Develop: When an inflammatory breakout destroys collagen, the tissue is lost. The skin over this area is left without support, creating a depressed area. Boxcar scars can be superficial to severe, depending on the amount of tissue lost.

3) Rolling Scars

This type of scarring causes rolling or wave-like depressions across otherwise normal-looking skin. Rolling scars differ from boxcar scars in that they aren’t sharply defined. The skin itself looks uneven and craggy.

How They Develop: Rolling scars arise when fibrous bands of tissue develop between the skin and the subcutaneous tissue below. These bands pull the epidermis, binding it to deeper structures of the skin. It is this pulling of the epidermis from within that creates the rolling appearance of the skin.

4) Hypertrophic and Keloid Scars

Hypertrophic scars are raised, firm scars that grow above the surface of the skin. Hypertrophic scars caused by acne are most often found on the torso, especially in men, but they can happen anywhere on the body. Hypertrophic scars are more common after a deep wound or trauma.

Keloids are a more severe type of raised scar. They differ from hypertrophic scars in that keloids grow larger than the original wound. They can send out raised, lateral shoots that expand much farther than the wound itself, and can continue to grown long after the original wound has healed. Some people are more prone to developing keloids.

How They Develop: Unlike ice pick and boxcar scars, hypertrophic scars are not caused by a loss of tissue. Rather, they develop because of an overproduction of collagen. In the case of keloids, it’s like the skin doesn’t know that the wound has healed, and continues to produce collagen.

5) Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation

Discoloration left on the skin after a pimple has healed isn’t a true acne scar, but rather post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It’s incredibly common for people with acne. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a flat area (neither raised nor pitted) that ranges in color from pink to red, purple, brown, or black, depending on your skin type.

How It Develops: Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation develops when a wound, rash, pimple, or other trauma causes skin inflammation. As the skin heals, it produces too much melanin (the substance that gives skin its color) leaving a darker area.

Doctor’s Advice & Recommendation

Why is subcision one of the recommended Acne Scar Treatment?

There are no risk of Post-inflammatory Hyper-Pigmentation and patient able to see visible results instantly and this treatment is versatile as it is able to treat almost all scar type.

How do I know that subcision for acne scars is the procedure for me?

The most important step to treat acne scars is to identify your scar type.

Rolling scars as well as bound-down and tethered scars need subcision treatment. If you see a depression/ dent when you smile or talk, this means that your scars are attached to the underlying structures such as the muscle layer and SMAS. Lasers cannot penetrate to the depth of muscle layers – not even with deep microneedling devices. Hence, you will need more than lasers to remove these stubborn scars.You will need subcision to release those tethered scars.

What Type Of Scars Are Suitable For Subcision?

Subcision is an excellent treatment option for the following types of scars:

Rolling acne scars
Chickenpox scars
Stretchable scars from injury or surgery
Can subcision for Acne Scars be combined with other acne scar treatments?
Mixed acne scarring is the most common form of acne scars. Therefore, combination treatments are necessary for acne scar revision.

Most patients who have acne scars will have a variety of scar types including rolling, atrophic, ice pick scars, together with boxcar scarring. I usually combine subcision together with energy-based devices like RF microneedling or Erbium Yag lasers and ablative RF technology to treat.

In summary, subcision for acne scars is a very useful modality for the treatment of acne scar types. I have always prefer to use a combination of laser treatments with subcision for optimal acne scar results.
