Treatments for wrinkles and lines
Speak to Dr Saad if you are looking for ways to relax your facial muscles, ease wrinkles and create a smoother apperance. These treatments usually last 3-4 months and if treated at regular intervals, may help delay further wrinkling by keeping muscles and skin relaxed.
It is one of the most common cosmetic procedures performed in Australia.
Common areas to target include:
Treatments for volume and smoothness
Looking for ways to maintain your skin structure and elasticity? These treatments can soften creases and folds and restore volume. Results generally last 6 -12 months depending on individual circumstances and lifestyle.
Common areas to target include:
Dermapen™ microneedling
Dermapen™ microneedling is an effective, popular and minimally invasive procedure that targets a wide range of skin concerns, not just lines and wrinkles.
All areas of the body, including face, lip area, ears, neck, chest, hands, back and scalp, can be treated with pinpoint precision.
Unlike injectable treatments, Dermapen™ microneedling is a natural process that stimulates the body’s own repair and renewal process to create collagen. Micro-fine needles are adjusted to different depths and speeds to create fractional puncture channels on the skin’s surface. These micro-channels carry the Meso-Glide™ actives deep into the skin, increasing the procedure’s effectiveness.
A Meso-Glide™ is a serum used during the procedure that’s safe for infusion and chosen to help correct a specific skin concern.
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)
HIFU is a non-invasive treatment that utilises advanced ultrasound technology to rejuvenate and tighten the skin without the need for surgery.
HIFU stimulates collagen production deep within the skin. By delivering focused ultrasound energy to precise depths, HIFU targets the foundational layers of the skin, including the dermis and the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS). This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, leading to the appearance of firmer, smoother skin over time.
Unlike surgical facelifts, HIFU requires no incisions, anesthesia, or downtime, making it a safe and convenient option for most patients. Patients often see improvements immediately after the procedure, with optimal results developing over two to three months and lasting up to a year or more.
HIFU is versatile and can be used on various areas, including the face, neck, décolletage, and even specific body regions.
HIFU is delivered via a handheld device to the target areas. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, often described as a mild tingling or warming sensation.
There is no downtime, and you can resume your daily activities immediately. Mild redness or swelling may occur but typically subsides within hours.
