We provide the following services:

 
Skin Rejuvenation with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Radiofrequency (RF) Energy (eLaser & eLight)

These are the next generation of non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that simultaneously combines IPL and RF energy to improve the colour and texture of the skin in a manner that is virtually painless and more effective than previous techniques. By stimulating collagen production, it rejuvenates the face, shrinks pores, safely removes pigmentation, spider veins and rosacea, and can be combined with subcision to treat acne scars. There is no downtime associated with this procedure.

 
Sciton MicroLaserPeel

The most advanced in laser resurfacing. It is an intra-epidermal laser that precisely ablates the outermost layers of the skin. It is ideal for patients seeking more visible and longer lasting results than microdermabrasion or chemical peels. It is used for smoothening scars, ablating fine lines, tightening pores, removing superficial blemishes and overall facial rejuvenation as it gently "peels" away the problematic skin and promotes healthy and more vibrant skin growth. It is also known as the "weekend" peel as healing time takes about two to three days.

 
Refirme Skin Tightening (RST)

FDA approved in March 2006, this revolutionary combination of electro-optical synergy & infrared energies helps to improve skin laxity on the face, neck, undereye creases, eyebags, abdomen and breasts, creating an overall tightening and lifting effect on the skin. It is a virtually painless and fast treatment for skin tightening.

Restylane Facelifting

As your face ages, skin loses its firmness and elasticity. Deep lines may form around the nasolabial area, around the mouth, and the jawline can become saggy. Now, there is a way to refine your face and restore your youth instantly in just 30 minute naturally. Restylane is the Hyaluronic Acid injectable gel used in the new and natural Restylane facelifting treatment to lift your face instantly. Restylane not only increases volume, it also stimulates the growth of new structural components, helping your own skin to further enhance your youthful appearance. It fills out the skin, creating a lifting effect, making it smoother, tauter and instantly diminishing the appearance of lines.
Treatables areas:

  1. Mid face
  2. Nasolabial folds
  3. Saggy Jawline
  4. Tear Trough (under the eyes)
  5. Eyebrow

 
Thermage

The Thermage's ThermaCool System is the only FDA approved non-invasive treatment proven to tighten loose or saggy skin, producing a "lift" without an incision. The Thermage process utilizes radiofrequency energy to activate deeper skin tissue and jumpstart collagen production. This procedure is referred to as a mini-face lift because it is similar to a facelift without surgery. It can be performed on the upper face (for droopy brows and crows feet), the lower face (for deep nasolabial grooves, jawline, and sagging jawline), as well as for tightening lax skin on the neck. Only one treatment is needed, but you can see continual improvement over 6 months. Now with the new Eye-by-Thermage, there is a new way of treating loose skin around the eyes and improving droopy upper eyelids. Body-by-Thermage helps to tone flabby skin around the abdomen, especially in post pregnancy women. There is no downtime for these procedures.

 
Botox®

Botox works by relaxing the muscles of facial expression, softening lines and wrinkles and giving the face a rejuvenated appearance. Its effects occur within 7 days and usually last for 4-6 months. It is also commonly used to contour the face by slimming down prominent jaw muscles, creating a slimmer and more feminine jawline. It also helps to reduce excessive perspiration in the underarm areas, palms and soles, as well as for slimming bulky calf muscles.

 
Matrix IR
This is the newest non-ablative laser using fractional technology combined with radiofrequency. It effectively treats scars, pores as well as lines under the eyes and around the mouth. It is a fast and relatively painless procedure with no down time.
 
Mesobotox

Microdoses of botox is injected into the mesoderm for refining pore size, lifting the face, and jawline contouring. Since it does not affect muscles, you can still have a natural facial expression without the fine skin creases.

 
Microdermabrasion (MDA)

MDA uses the principle of mechanical exfoliation to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, vacuum off blackheads, lift off superficial pigmentation and renew the skin. It leaves the skin looking clearer, softer and smoother. It is used primarily for people with comedonal and papular acne, as well as an adjunct to people undergoing skin rejuvenating procedures.

 
Injectable fillers

The most common non-permanent filler used is hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring skin protein that is used to fill up grooves and depressions in the face that occur as a result of the ageing process. It can be used on the nasolabial folds (nose to mouth lines), the nasal jugal groove (groove under the eyes), the marionette lines (droopy lines at corner of lips), and on the lips for augmentation. Permanent fillers are also available.

 
Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are doctor-performed office procedures where a chemical solution is used to exfoliate the superficial layer of the skin, removing pigmentation and other skin blemishes in the process, leaving the skin clearer, softer, and smoother. Specialized booster peels are also available for the treatment of acne and acne scars, as well as for treatment of stubborn pigmentation.

 
Surgical removal of moles and cysts

Unwanted moles can be removed using a simple excision technique, and cysts can be removed by excision and curettage. Moles that are suspicious for skin cancer can also be biopsied using a punch biopsy.

 
Iontophoresis

In Iontophoresis, a vitamin C serum is applied onto the skin followed by a very low level electrical current, which increases the depth of penetration of the Vitamin C. Being a powerful antioxidant, Vitamin C repairs the skin's damaged collagen and also lightens deep pigmentation. It is also used as an adjunct to skin rejuvenating and lightening procedures.

 
Hair Removal

Long term hair removal can be achieved with several treatments using either Laser, Radiofrequency, IPL or photopneumatic therapy (PPx). The laser or light energy is used to destroy hair roots permanently. Hairs of all colours can be effectively removed in 6 - 8 sessions at 3-4 week intervals. Your doctor can discuss with you which modality is most effective for each individual.

 
Laser and Electrosurgical Procedures

Various different types of lasers procedures are available for the removal of age spots, warts, milia or "oil seeds", syringomas, pigmentation, spider veins, skin tags, decorative tattoos (eyebrow, eyeliner and body), birthmarks and other skin blemishes.

 
Skin Cancer surveillance and surgery
Coupled with a yearly skin exam by a doctor, self-examination of your skin once a month is the best way to detect the early warning signs of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and malignant melanoma, the three main types of skin cancer. Look for a new growth or any skin change.
 
Skin Lightening Programme

Lightens pigmentation, age spots, acne blemishes and dark eye circles using Iontophoresis or Chemical Peels, or a combination of both, depending on the patient’s skin condition.
