Growing older may be inevitable, but looking older may be assisted to be slown down.
“Modern day, advanced, non- surgical cosmetic skin treatments have completely changed the anti- ageing stigmata, offering patients effective treatments with minor risks compared to cosmetic surgery,” explains Dr Buddy Beaini, director of MD Cosmedical Solutions Skin Clinics.
Here are the five most popular treatments for anti-aging, reducing wrinkles and tightening skin.
OPTION #1: THE APTOS THREAD FACELIFT
Best for: Those wanting more than a salon treatment, but who aren’t ready for a full facelift.
What they say: Face sagginess, drooping eyes and “turkey neck” are among the most common side effects of ageing skin. The Aptos Thread Facelift helps by boosting the skin’s natural scaffolding and lifting skin around the face, brows, jaw and neck.
What it involves: Special dissolvable Aptos Threads are inserted into the dermis or support system of the skin, lifting and anchoring it upwards and outwards.
At the same time, the threads trigger the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production, so that as they dissolve, a new self-supporting skin structure takes its place.
How long does it last? Expect the procedure to take about an hour under local anaesthetic, with some bruising and tenderness for several days. Usually only one treatment is needed.
Results last three to five years with most patients, with “touch-up” threads added as necessary.
OPTION #2: THERMAGE CPT SKIN TIGHTENING
Best for: Those wanting to slow down the face ageing process.
What they say: The skin tightening treatment tightens and smooths the skin without surface irritation.
What it involves: Thermage FLX monopolar Radio Frequencies (RF) are used to gently heat all the skin layers and subcutaneous tissue, tightening existing collagen fibres and stimulating new growth. There’s no redness or downtime and you can return to work immediately.
How long does it last? Each treatment takes 45 to 00 minutes to perform, depending on the area treated. Expect skin to look immediately smoother and firmer, with more improvement over six to 9 months. Results generally last three to five years.
OPTION #3: FOTONA SMOOTH EYE LASER
Best for: Those with hooded eyelids and loose skin around the eyes (periorbital aging).
What they say: Eyelid hooding affects up to 25 per cent of people as they age. In some cases, this excess skin can cause heaviness over the eyelids and obstruct vision. Fotona Smooth Eye Laser helps reduce loose skin and gives eyes a fresher, wide-eyed look.
What it involves: The treatment involves utilising the advanced Fotona Smooth Eye Laser, which stimulates skin tightening and skin resurfacing to help reverse periorbital aging. Issues such as eyelid hooding, eye bags, tear troughs, wrinkles and dark eyes may be easily treated without cosmetic surgery and with minimal downtime.
How long does it last? Treatment takes about 30 minutes to perform. Most patients require 3 to 4 treatments.
OPTION #4: FRAXEL LASER SKIN RESURFACING
Best for: Those hoping to reverse sun and other damage.
What they say: Fraxel Restore treatment can help reduce the appearance of sun damage, acne scars, fine lines or skin pigmentation, while Fraxel Repair CO2 Laser tackles more serious damage such as deeper wrinkles, skin laxity, frown lines, age and sun spots. Fotona Ablative Resurfacing Laser is another advanced and valuable tool utilised to target skin issues.
What it involves: A topical anaesthetic is applied before microscopic laser columns are delivered deep into the skin, boosting collagen production and encouraging skin renewal. Dr Beaini likens the Fraxel Restore process to touching up a photograph one pixel at a time.
How long does it last? Fraxel Restore sessions take around 45 minutes and four to five treatments are recommended. For Fraxel Repair, sessions only take around 30 minutes, but the skin takes longer to recover.
OPTION #5: PRP HAIR LOSS TREATMENT
