Question 3

What areas can be treated?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

What does the treatment feel like? Does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

Cryolyposis Fat Freezing is tolerable, with many patients opting to read, watch Netflix or sleep during their 45-60 minute treatment. Once the vacuum applicators been applied, you may experience discomfort and an intense cold sensation for approximately 7 - 12 minutes until the treated area becomes numb. The suction pressure of the vacuum applicators may cause a tugging or pulling sensation, and redness can be expected immediatley post treatment.  Possible side effects include: - Mild bruising to the treated area - Blistering ( very rare) Unlike other permanent fat reduction methods, cryolipolysis requires zero downtime. Following treatment, you can safley return to your normal activies.

Question 5

When will I see results and are they permanent?

Accepted Answer

Results will vary based on the individual; however, progressive results will be seen 30 - 90 days post-treatment. Once the fat cells have been destroyed, they cannot return.  Each treatment will destroy 20 % - 25% of fat cells in the targeted area. 
 *Individual results may vary.

Question 6

How does Cryolypolysis - Fat Freezing work?

Accepted Answer

Cryolipolysis destroys fat cells by rapidly freezing the targeted area for a set amount of time.    Following treatment, fat cells are broken down and naturally eliminated from the body.    See an overview of this process below:    Cyrolipolysis is not a weightloss treatment and should be used utilised in conjuction with a healthy diet and exercise.

Question 7

How does Fibroblast Skin Tightening work?

Accepted Answer

Fibroblast skin tightening is the only cosmetic treatment is the world to utilise plasma to reduce excess skin.   During a fibroblast tightening procedure, a pen-like device is held above the skin and uses the voltage between the air and its metal tip, to create a precise, miniature electrical discharge or plasma flash on the skin's surface.   The skin around the plasma flash tightens instantly, pulling the cells closer together to provide an immediate visible lift.   In the 8 to 12 weeks following your treatment, the micro-trauma caused by the plasma flash will continue to stimulate new collagen, releasing and activating essential proteins and growths factors that will lift, tighten and rejuvenate fines lines, wrinkles and excess skin.      The term "soft surgery" is often used to describe this treatment because it is known to physically reduce the volume of skin in the treated area, without a scalpel, stitch or bandage.   Fibroblast skin tightening is considered to be a minimally invasive, cost-effective and safe alternative to surgery.

Question 8

Are the results permanent?

Accepted Answer

Fibroblast skin tightening is considered semi-permanent. Depending on the area's you have treated, you can expect the results to last between 2 and 5 years.    Fibroblast skin tightening reduces excess skin; however, it does not stop the ageing process. A maintenance session may be required every 18 - 36 months, to maintain optimum results.

Question 9

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

The number of treatments required varies from person to person. You'll be provided with a tailored treatment plan during your complimentary consultation.  You can expect to see an improvement after your first session, however, we recommend between 1 and three treatments, every 8 - 12 weeks for best results.   Optimal results will be visible 12 weeks after your final treatment.

Question 10

Am I a suitable candidate for Fibroblast Skin Tightening treatments?

Accepted Answer

Your suitability will be assessed during your complimentary consultation.   Fibroblast skin tightening is not suitable for the following patients: Under the age of 18  Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers History of keloid or hypertrophic scarring  History of hypopigmentation  or melasma  History of photosensitivity medications Bleeding disorders  Neuropathic disorders Fitzpatrick skin types V & VI

Question 11

What's involved and what can I expect post treatment?

Accepted Answer

After a thorough consultation, your treatment area will be numbed using a topical anaesthetic.  Once sufficiently numb, the plasma device will be used to create a pattern of tiny brown dots (plasma flashes) on your skin.   Immediately after treatment, your skin will have multiple plasma flash crusts, and the treated area may be red, itchy and swollen. Swelling varies from person to person but may last up to 5 days post-treatment.  The brown crusts will begin to flake between day 3 and 5, for up to 14 days. Mild redness and hyper-pigmentation may occur for up to 4 weeks following treatment, however, this can generally be covered with mineral powder or foundation.  Skin tightening results may be visible immediately and will continue to improve over the following 8 - 12 weeks. Final results will be visible at 12 weeks post treatment.  Each treatment takes between 60 minutes and 4 hours, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.

Question 12

What areas can be treated?

Accepted Answer

Fibroblast skin tightening can be used to lift, firm, tighten and reduce excessive skin and signs of aging, anywhere on the body.    Commonly treated areas are shown below:

Question 13

Skin needling is not suitable for the patients with the following contraindications: Under the age of 18 Active acne , rosacea or sunburn  Open Wounds Active infection of any type (bacterial, viral, or fungal) Blood-thinning medications  Vascular lesions (hemangiomas) Cardiac disease or abnormalities  Collagen Vascular Disease Eczema, Psoriasis, or Dermatitis Herpes Simplex Infections Hemophilia , bleeding disorders  or uncontrolled diabetes Recent chemical peel procedure  Hormone Replacement Therapy or pregnancy or lactation  Keloid, hypertrophic scarring  or scleroderma

Question 14

How many sessions will i need?

Accepted Answer

The number of treatments required varies from person to person.  You'll be provided with a tailored treatment plan during your complimentary consultation. You will see an improvement after your first session, however, we recommend a series of 6 treatments every 4 - 6 weeks for best results.

Question 15

What's involved and what can i expect post treatment?

Accepted Answer

After a thorough consultation, your skin will be cleansed and the treatment area will be numbed using a topical anaesthetic. Once numb, the skin needling device will be passed across your skin until pinpoint bleeding is achieved. 
Immediately after treatment, your skin may be red, warm and mildly swollen. Your skin may appear sunburned for 3-5 days and you may experience minor flaking and dryness.  Sunscreen and makeup can be applied 2-4 hours post-treatment. A quality SPF 30+ sunscreen must be worn for a minimum of 14 days post-procedure, to prevent post-inflammatory pigmentation.  Skin plumping results will be visible immediately and skin remodelling will continue to improve over the following 3-5 sessions. Each treatment takes between 60 minutes and 2 hours.

Question 16

What is Skin Needling and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Skin Needling involves the use of a handheld device with tiny microneedles oscillating at a high speed to gently pierce the skin.  The microneedles create tiny puncture channels that cause minor injury to your collagen and elastin fibres and stimulate your bodies natural healing response.  This wound healing response is what stimulates new collagen and elastin formation.   Over several weeks, your body will continue to lay down new collagen, resulting in a thickening of the dermis and the plumping of fine lines and wrinkles, improvement in texture as well as remodelling and reduction of scars. It will also reduce the appearance of pigmentation, enlarged pores and stretch marks.

Question 17

What areas can be treated?

Accepted Answer

Common treatment areas include: Face Neck Décolletage  Back Breasts Stomach Hips Thighs  Hands

Question 18

Am i a suitable candidate for platelet rich plasma therapy?

Accepted Answer

The following medical conditions are a contraindication for the use of PRP: Critical thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) Hypofibrinogenaemia Haemodynamic instability (collapse) Sepsis (infection) Acute and chronic infections Chronic liver disease Anti-coagulation therapy (including Warfarin, Dabigatran, Heparin)

Question 19

What's involved & what can i expect post treatment?

Accepted Answer

Following a thorough consultation, a small sample of blood is obtained. The blood is then placed into a centrifuge and spun at high speed in order to isolate a layer of platelet-rich plasma, also known as "liquid gold".   There are two ways to use your PRP: 1.  We can inject the concentrated plasma directly into areas of aged or damaged skin to utilise your body’s repair system and promote the growth of new tissue OR; 2. We can combine PRP with skin needling (commonly referred to as a  "Vampire Facial"). Skin Needling involves the use of a handheld device with tiny microneedles oscillating at high speed to gently pierce the skin.  The microneedles create small puncture channels to promote rejuvenation. When combined with skin needling, the PRP is applied directly into the micro wounds, enhancing the results and reducing the recovery time of a regular skin needling treatment.  Each treatment takes between 60 and 90 minutes. Immediately after treatment, your skin may be red, warm and mildly swollen. Your skin may appear sunburned for 3-5 days, and you may experience minor flaking and dryness.   If the PRP has been injected directly into your skin, you may experience mild bruising.  Sunscreen and makeup can be applied 2-4 hours post-treatment. A quality SPF 30+ sunscreen must be worn for a minimum of 14 days post-procedure, to prevent post-inflammatory pigmentation.  Skin plumping results will be visible immediately, and skin remodelling will continue to improve over the following 1-2 sessions.

Question 20

What areas & conditions can be treated?

Accepted Answer

PRP and skin needling can be combined and used on the face, neck, chest, decolletage, stomach or back of the hands to treat conditions including: Rough or inconsistent skin texture Sun damage Small scars Fine wrinkles and signs of ageing Broken capillaries Enlarged pores Pigmentation Stretch marks

Question 21

What is platelet rich plasma & how does it work?

Accepted Answer

PRP is an increased concentration of autologous platelets suspended in a small amount of plasma after centrifugation. Blood consists of approximately 93% red blood cells (RBC), 1% white blood cells (WBC) and 6% platelets, all suspended in plasma.  In platelet-rich plasma, the RBC count is lowered to 5, as they are less useful in the healing process, while the platelet count is increased to 94%. PRP effects soft tissue healing via growth factors released after platelet degranulation. These growth factors initiate and enhance physiological processes that contribute to tissue recovery and healing after injury. Growth-factor molecules associated with platelets include: Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) Transforming growth-factor-beta (TGF-b) Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) Epidermal growth factor (EGF) Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) These growth factors aid healing by: Attracting undifferentiated stem cells into the newly formed matrix and triggering cell division Suppressing cytokine release and limiting inflammation Attracting macrophages to improve tissue healing and regeneration Promoting new capillary growth (new blood vessel formation), and accelerating epithelialisation

Question 22

How many sessions will i need?

Accepted Answer

The number of treatments required varies from person to person.  You'll be provided with a tailored treatment plan during your complimentary consultation. Results show that when PRP is applied by superficial or deep dermal injection, the skin texture, tone and firmness can improve within three weeks with ongoing improvements over the next few months.

Question 28

What does Forma™ feel like and does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

It is an essentially painless procedure with no downtime due to its precise technology and deep-layer targeting of the skin.  Slight redness in the treatment area is common post-procedure and will subside within 60 minutes.

Question 29

When can I expect to see results and are they permanent?

Accepted Answer

Patients usually report having their skin feel tighter after each treatment. And over time, they notice a smoother contour of the treated area, sagging skin becoming more toned and lifted, and a reduction in the folds of their skin. 
As Forma stimulates collagen production and improves the skin’s elasticity over time, the more treatments you have, the better and longer-lasting your results will be. So expect to see your results improve with each visit.   After the initial treatment series, you will benefit from following a maintenance schedule which would be 1 single treatment done every 3-6 months, to help maintain long-term results.

Question 30

How does Forma™ skin tightening work?

Accepted Answer

Forma targets wrinkles without the need for needles, toxins, or going under the knife. The radiofrequency current flows between the electrodes to provide a comfortable thermal experience. The temperature is optimized and controlled to provide even stimulation of collagen and improved skin elasticity. The therapeutic thermal temperatures eliminate hot spots and undertreatment.

Question 31

What does Forma ™ skin tightening treat?

Accepted Answer

Forma can treat the face and neck, along with body contouring for most areas of the body, such as the thighs, hips, buttocks, waist, stomach, and arms.   The most common treatment areas on the face are:   - The forehead
- Around the eyes (targeting crow’s feet)
- Upper eyelids
- Lower eyelids
- Nasolabial folds
- Smile lines
- Jowls
- Neck   Commonly treated areas on the body include: - Arms (to treat bat wings)
- Abdomen
- Knees
- Any other areas with loose skin 
Forma can tighten the jawline, remove nasolabial folds, raise and lift the brow bone area, sculpt cheekbones, and improve overall skin health.

Question 32

What's involved in a Forma™ treatment?

Accepted Answer

Forma InMode is typically considered a very calming and relaxing treatment, with patients feeling rejuvenated once it’s complete. 
During your Forma treatment, a cool conductive gel will be applied to the treatment area. Our technician will then glide and massage the Forma precision application head over the selected area in small passes, focusing on target areas, such as the jowl, cheek, and eye area, until it reaches and maintains a specific temperature. You will feel the heat, but it shouldn’t be too uncomfortable. 
After the treatment, the clinician will put a warm towel on the treatment area to wash away the gel and soothe the skin. They may also apply cream and sunscreen. 
The radiofrequency will penetrate the skin and heat the deep layers. And the temperature gauge on the Forma head will ensure that no area goes undertreated or becomes over treated. 
On average, Forma takes 30-45 minutes per body part. Face and neck treatments last around 45-60 minutes each and have targeted heat points that are met and maintained during the procedure.

Question 33

What results can I expect?

Accepted Answer

You will see an improvement in the appearance of your skin after just one session, however, most patients require between 2 - 4 treatments to achieve skin clarity.   The number of sessions required will depend on the severity of skin damage and your skin type.   The skin will continue to look younger and more brilliant over time with most visible results after 1-2 weeks. For vascular treatments such as facial telangiectasis, results can be seen after 2 - 4 weeks.   Having multiple photo facial sessions will improve the final result.

Question 34

Can Lumecca be used on any area of the body?

Accepted Answer

Lumecca™ can be used on any area of the body.   The most commonly treated areas are those that are most frequently exposed to the sun, i.e. the face, neck, décolletage, back, legs, hands and arms.

Question 35

How does Lumecca work?

Accepted Answer

During treatment there will be a bright flash of light from the Lumecca machine, that will feel like a light elastic sensation. Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal after treatment and usually subsides within an hour.  Over the next 24-48 hours you may see a darkening of pigmented spots. However, these pigmented lesions flake off, leading to an evening out of skin tone.  After treating vascular lesions you may see the vein blanch and disappear or a colour change in the vessel which will dissipate after a few days.

Question 36

How many treatments will I need?

Accepted Answer

The number of treatments required varies from person to person. You'll be provided with a tailored treatment plan during your complimentary consultation.  You can expect to see an improvement after your first session, however, we recommend between 1 and three treatments, every 3 - 6 weeks for best results.

Question 37

Are the results permanent?

Accepted Answer

Although in some cases, the removal of pigmentation issues may be long lasting, often a maintenance session is advisable every 6-12 months following the initial treatment course.

Question 38

Are the results permanent?

Accepted Answer

Fractora resurfacing creates a permanent increase in collagen and elastin levels, however, ongoing damage by UV light and other ageing processes mean that it is often advisable to repeat the treatment every few years to keep the skin looking its best.

Question 39

What results can I expect?

Accepted Answer

Often in the immediate phase following Fractora, the skin will look glowing and radiant, however, it can take 3 -6 months for optimal remodelling and lifting to be achieved.

Question 40

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the results required and skin laxity, between one and four treatments are required for optimal results. Body treatments such as the abdomen usually require up to 3 treatments for the best results.

Question 41

How does Fractora™ skin resurfacing work?

Accepted Answer

Fractora™ delivers radio frequency (RF) energy to the skin through an array of pins producing localized heat and small micro-lesion dots in the sub-dermal tissue. This creates hundreds of tiny wounds in the skin that stimulate the body to heal, promoting collagen restructuring and tightening the skin. After assessment and consent, a strong topical local anaesthetic cream will be applied for approximately 40 minutes. 
When the skin is suitably numb, it will be cleaned with antiseptic and Fractora will be applied to the skin. At this stage it is anticipated there may be some pin-point bleeding but pain should be minimal.

After the whole area is treated, it will be cleaned again and some antiseptic may be applied. Depending on the depth of treatment and the intensity of the radiofrequency applied through the Fractora pins, around 3-7 days of downtime are expected with this treatment. The first day or so following treatment will usually be associated with swelling and redness and usually were will be some scab formation around the pin sites on the skin. These usually will disappear by day 7. A high quality mineral makeup can be applied 24 hours post treatment and broad spectrum 50+ sunscreen should be worn daily, for a minimum of 14 days post treatment.

Question 42

What can I expect after my treatment?

Accepted Answer

Much of the difference you see after your initial dermal filler injection will be due to mild swelling; the real results become evident after 3-5 days.   There is no downtime to dermal filler injections and you will be able to wear makeup and return to work immediately after your appointment.   You may have swelling, and brusing present - this generally clears within 3-7 days post treatment and may be covered with concealer if required.

Question 43

Is it painful?

Accepted Answer

Without local anaesthesia, we would rate the pain of dermal filler injections at around 3/10. With local anaesthesia, the pain rating is reduced to around 2/10.

Question 44

How many treatments will I need?

Accepted Answer

Dermal fillers are not permanent and will need to be repeated every 9 -18 months, to maintain optimal results.

Question 45

What precautions should I take pre and post treatment?

Accepted Answer

There is no downtime required for dermal fillers and you can resume normal activities immediately.   However you should avoid the following for 24 hours: - Strenuous exercise
- Consumption of alcohol 
- It is also recommended to avoid the following for two weeks: - Extended exposure to sun or uv light
- Extended exposure to heat or freezing temperatures   Exposure to any of the above may cause temporary redness, swelling, and/or itching at the injection sites. If you have swelling at the injection site you can apply an ice pack for a brief period to help with discomfort. We always recommend the use of sunscreen to prevent sun damage to the skin. Sunscreen with SPF 30 or above should be used daily. If you are under the sun for prolonged periods of time, sunscreen needs to be reapplied at least once every two hours.

Question 46

What are the benefits of Dermal Fillers?

Accepted Answer

Dermal Fillers achieve a more youthful appearance by:   - Sculpting and lifting through the mid face.
- Adding definition to the chin and jaw lines.
- Reducing tear trough hollows.
- Restoring volume to the cheeks.
- Softening nasolabial folds or marionette lines.   Dermal fillers allow greater precision in wrinkle correction and can effectively treat medium to deep wrinkles, at depths which other methods cannot.   Dermal fillers are non-invasive compared to surgical solutions. They are biocompatible, rarely cause reaction, and can be dissolved by injection if there are any problems.

Question 47

What are the risks?

Accepted Answer

On rare occasion, side effects following dermal filler injections can include swelling, redness, bruising and mild asymmetry as the inflammation settles down.   There is also a risk of asymmetry developing after the filler injections, but this is completely correctable and generally minimal.   Very rarely, more serious side effects occur. These can include: - Tissue death in the glabellar region
- Granuloma
- Hypersensitivity   All risks are discussed in detail with our doctor and nurse at your consultation appointment.   Dermal Fillers are not suitable for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Question 48

What happens during my treatment?

Accepted Answer

You'll speak with our doctor and nurse about your background and medical history at your initial consultation.   A treatment plan will be devised, which sets out how we will use dermal fillers (possibly in conjunction with other techniques and tools) to create the results that you want.   At your dermal filler appointment:   -The dermal filler product we use contains a local anaesthetic that makes the injection      comfortable. 
- The area to be injected is marked out. 
- The dermal fillers are injected and we apply cold packs immediately afterwards. 
- Mineral make-up completes the look and allows you to resume your daily activity. 
The procedure takes about 30-60 minutes in total, depending on the size of the area to be treated.

Question 64

What should I expect after my treatment?

Accepted Answer

You can expect the full effect of your anti-wrinkle injections to be apparent after 3-10 days and for the effects to last approximately 3-6 months.   There is no downtime to anti-wrinkle injections and you will be able to wear makeup and return to work immediately after your appointment.
