Skin Firming/Lifting

Microneedling the skin with Dermaroller or Dermapen stimulates production of new collagen and elastin fibres in the skin. This neocollagenosis results in reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, improvement of the skin texture and tightening of the skin. The micro channels created by microneedling aid the penetration of serums containing skin nutrients into the dermis thereby enhancing the quality of the skin.

Microneedling Radiofrequency (MNRF) combines the benefits of microneedling as well as Radio-frequency techniques. In microneedling radiofrequency, the radiofrequency energy is delivered through the needles to the deep dermis which is the target area for stimulating collagen and elastin. Microneedling Fractional RF is good treatment option for Indian skin type as it reduces the chances of post treatment pigmentation.

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound is a relatively new treatment modality for non invasive lifting of the face. It uses high intensity focused ultrasound energy that is delivered at varying depths under the skin. This ultrasound energy stimulates cellular remodelling resulting in production of new collagen and elastin in the skin. It also helps in the contraction of the SMAS layer resulting in facial lifting. HIFU is a promising treatment modality for patients with mild to moderate skin sagging. Results last for 12-18 months.

Resurfacing of skin with fractional lasers like Fractional CO2 and Erbium YAG laser is ideal for reducing skin laxity and other signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles and age spots. These lasers stimulate collagen production by precise removal of upper layers of skin leading to smooth, tightened skin with decreased pore size and an improvement in the skin texture. Minimal and skin flaking can be expected for a few days after the treatment. It is essential to protect the skin from harmful effects of sun during the healing process.
