Wrinkles
Iron out those wrinkles...
Wrinkles are furrow, fold, or crease in our skin that results from loss of proteins and aging along with other factors. As we age, we gradually lose collagen and elastin, which are proteins important in giving the skin structure. As wrinkles are also folds in the skin, they typically form because of repetitive facial expressions and how our skin folds on our faces when we sleep. The formation of wrinkles can also be accelerated by certain factors as well such as sun exposure, smoking, and unhealthy diets. In treating this condition, we typically use Botulinum Toxin type A treatment, biorevitalization, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), and laser skin resurfacing.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP) therapy uses the patient's own Platelets to accelerate the healing of the skin. Particularly for the skin, as platelets are fortified by vitamins, and when they are injected into the skin, they can stimulate skin repair, can tighten, thicken, plump the skin, improve skin tone and texture, reduce signs of aging and treat pigmentation, scars, and stretch-marks. They contain growth factors that can trigger cell-reproduction and stimulate tissue regeneration or healing in the treated area. PRP can also be enhanced with ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, and anti-oxidants to maximize the beneficial effects.

Long Lasting
Laser skin resurfacing is the gold standard therapy for skin smoothing and tightening. This non ablative fractional technology uses microbeams of energy to create areas of affected tissue that extend through the epidermis into the dermis. This triggers the body’s natural healing process to create new, healthy collagen. Best for: facial anti-ageing and resurfacing
What is Laser resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing has long been established as a safe and effective treatment for acne scars, traumatic scars, pigmentation, sun damage, enlarged pores, fine lines, uneven skin texture and stretch-marks. The principle of skin resurfacing is to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process to replace damaged skin with fresh, healthy, new skin.

Microneedling
Effective for tightening and toning the skin, enhancing the complexion, and rebuilding collagen. As the micro needling device is passed over the skin, it creates small punctures and wounds the trigger the skin’s healing process.
This renewal process continues at an accelerated rate for weeks after treatment, rebuilding the skin rapidly and producing fresh skin cells. Over time, patients may notice lines start to lighten, the skin feels tighter and more toned, and their complexion looks more even.
