Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a simple and quick way to refresh your appearance by restoring lost volume and filling in wrinkles and folds, especially those caused by the aging process. Dermal fillers are used to smooth the lines and creases on our faces, and “fill” areas of tissue loss that often occurs with aging. They can also fill deep scars to improve the contour of your face and even fill out your cheeks.
Before the treatment
Before the procedure, a complete evaluation of your face will be performed. The nurse will discuss together with you, your desired goal. Throughout the process we encourage you to ask questions to ensure that you are armed with knowledge and feel comfortable with your injector. To get the best results possible, we need to understand the unique features of your face to ensure you get a tailored treatment program that is right for you.
After treatment
After treatment with dermal fillers, results can be seen immediately; the lines on your face should appear minimized and smoothed out. If your treatment plan included lip enhancement, you’ll notice that your lips appear fuller and more defined. If your plan included adding volume to your cheeks, you will notice that your cheeks look more youthful and your face looks more refreshed.
What is PRP
PRP, also known as Platelet-Rich Plasma, is human blood that is spun down and separated producing a concentration of platelets above normal values. Platelets are the clotting cells of our blood, but they also have great potential in enhancing healing of muscle, tendon, and ligament. Growth factors released by platelets recruit reparative cells augment tissue repair, and accelerate soft tissue healing.
prp for hair lost
We Perform PRP therapy as a proactive therapeutic option for male and female patients experiencing hair loss. PRP is an exciting non-surgical therapeutic options for patients who require stimulation of hair growth for hair loss conditions such as balding. Doctors use a PRP serum that they formulate from the blood of every individual patient.
We inject this serum into the scalp so that the hair grows back thicker and stronger with a better shine, lustre, and richer colouring. The PRP serum contains a concentration of growth factors, mesenchymal stem cell, cytokines, and other elements.
prp for skin rejuvation
We also excel in PRP facial rejuvenation, also called Vampire Facials and Dracula Therapy. PRP Facial treatments are relied on to rejuvenate their skin and erase signs of aging like lines, wrinkles, creases, and folds of skin. PRP therapy has the effect of restoring the layer of collagen and elastin under the skin so that it is more effective in supporting suppleness.
Our Nurse and Medical Estheticians may choose to administer the PRP injection into the lines and problem areas. Alternatively, they may combine the treatment with Micro-needling. By using a micro-needling pen, they create minute pores and massage the PRP serum into the skin so that it regains its youthful glow.
