The most common signs of aging are wrinkles and fine lines – the skin gets thinner, drier, less elastic and hence, less able to protect itself or rejuvenate. This effect is aggravated by habitual facial expressions, sun exposure, smoking, poor hydration and other factors.
There are four types of wrinkles:
Atrophic crinkling rhytids
Associated with loss of elasticity, these are fine lines that are almost parallel to each other.
Permanent elastic creases
Crease lines that become increasing permanent over time, especially with sun exposure.
Dynamic expression lines
Also known by terms like ‘frown lines’, ‘smile lines’ and ‘crows feet’, these are caused by facial muscle movement.
Gravitational folds
The effects of gravity cause these wrinkles and they become more obvious as the skin starts to fold and sag.
We cannot stop the aging process, but there is no reason why the way we look on the outside can’t reflect the vitality we feel inside.
Let us help. There are a range of therapies available to smooth and rejuvenate your skin. The technologies we use include LineXel Fractional CO2, Fraxel, Botulinum Toxin, Mesotherapy and Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy.
LineXel Fractional CO2
It's the new gold standard in skin resurfacing, creating narrow, deep columns through intense energy microbeams, stimulating the growth of new healthy tissue for a smooth, supple complexion.
Fraxel
It produces thousands of tiny but deep columns of treatment in your skin, sparing much of the surrounding healthy tissue to result in tissue shrinkage and skin tightening.
Botulinum Toxin Just a few tiny injections of this natural, purified protein will relax wrinkle-causing muscles to create a smooth, rejuvenated appearance.
Mesotherapy It delivers tiny medicinal injections into the skin to promote production of collage and elastin for more youthful-looking skin. The medicinal concoction can be tailor-made according to one's needs.
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP) Uses patient's own blood to produce platelet rich plasma (containing many growth factors that stimulate healing), which is re-injected into the skin to induce healing to skin improving its texture and tone. It is also termed autologous platelet gel, plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) and platelet concentrate (PC) - delivered via medical micro needle therapy to produce microscopic channels through the epidermis to increase penetration of PRP into the dermis and initiate immune response to the target dermal area.

How do lasers treat fine lines and wrinkles?
High-energy beams of light penetrate the skin to eliminate lines, wrinkles, brown spots and other skin irregularities. This process stimulates the formation of new collagen to improve elasticity and support for the skin.
What is Botox and how does it work?
BOTOX® is a natural, purified protein that relaxes wrinkles-causing muscles creating a smoothed, rejuvenated and more youthful appearance. It's a simple non-surgical procedure that smoothes the deep, persistent facial lines that develop over time. One ten minute treatment - a few tiny injections - relaxes the muscles that cause those lines to form and keeps them relaxed.
What are the advantages of Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a technique where very small doses of medications are injected into the mesoderm, the layer of fat and connective tissue under the skin. Mesotherapy strengthens elastin fibres, stimulates collagen production, fights free radicals and stimulates cellular activity. Loose skin will appear firmer, younger and healthier, fine lines will be reduced and skin will glow.
How does Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy work?
This novel new therapy uses your own blood to produce platelet rich plasma that is then injected into your skin. It rejuvenates your skin and remodels your tissue to a healthier, younger state.
