Lines and wrinkles?
Treatment may involve shaving down the adjacent skin, filling in the wrinkles, relaxing the underlying muscles that are causing the wrinkle or a combination of these treatment methods.
- Botox - this muscle relaxing injection is used to treat wrinkles and facial lines produced by repetitive movements of the underlying muscles.
- Restylane or Perlane – these substances are often used to fill wrinkles and skin folds around the mouth.More information can be found on our Dermal fillers page.
- Nd:YAG 1064 –this non-ablative laser systems are used to treat mild to moderate depth wrinkles present when the underlying muscles are relaxed. The laser produces collagen and stimulate a wound healing response beneath the wrinkle. This acts as a new foundation supporting the wrinkle and smoothing out surface furrows.
The treatment of sagging skin explained
Radiofrequency Skin Tightening – these systems can be used to non-surgically tighten loose or lax skin and aid cellulite reduction
AccentTM, provides controlled heat therapy to fight wrinkles and tighten skin on the face and body. The treatment process is entirely comfortable, quick and virtually pain free. You’ll go through a series of visits to see the full benefits.
Since it’s not surgery—there are no incisions, stitches or even anesthesia needed - there’s no recovery time. You can go straight back to work or home, with no one the wiser.
Accent helps treat any problem areas you might have by tightening and firming any loose, wrinkled skin anywhere on the body. The treatment is frequently been used to improve the thin, delicate skin on the face, neck and under the upper arms. Many patients also seek treatment for a post-surgical or postnatal abdomen, thighs or buttocks. Accent has proven safe and effective for those areas, too.
Accent uses cutting-edge medical technology, called radio frequency. It uses radio frequency energy to heat the dermis, your skin’s inner layer. This targeted energy helps reorganize the cellular environment and stimulates your cells to produce new collagen.
New collagen is what gives you the smooth texture, elastic,quality and beautiful radiance of youthful skin. Depending on the size of the treated area, a treatment may take up to 45 minutes.
Accent provides visible results, because it is the only treatment of its kind to use a “dual layer” approach. This means it treats tissue at two different depths through both unipolar and bipolar radio frequencies. You’ll feel your skin grow thicker, tighter and smoother because of the dual layer targeting.
Patients often see results immediately. Over time and with follow-up procedures, your skin will tighten even more as new collagen develops. You may notice a slight redness, which should disappear in less than 24 hours. Generally, three to fi ve treatments at two week intervals will be required.
About Wrinkles
As we age the skin becomes stiffer and less elastic and when exposed to repetitive movement of the underlying muscles, wrinkles appear. These effects are most noticeable around the forehead, eyes and lips. Sun exposure accentuates this process and it is noticed at younger ages in patients with lighter skin types. The following changes are visible in the ageing face;
- Superficial skin changes:- textural change, discolouration, pigment abnormalities, red blemishes, very fine lines
- Superficial wrinkles:- appearing only during the movement of underlying muscles
- Deeper wrinkles:- present when the underlying muscles are relaxed and caused by the continual folding and creasing of the skin
- Sagging of skin:- caused by loss of deeper fat cushions and boney changes
No single procedure can correct all of the above changes, but a combination approach can often significantly reduce many of the unwanted signs of ageing.
