Acne Marks / Acne Scarring

Acne marks or disfiguring scars can be resulted if acne is left untreated or it has been dealt with inappropriate way. Most of the time, at the site where there was acne formation, it would leave a patch of brownish pigmentation which is called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), this is resulted from migrating of melanocytes to the site of inflammation. It can be quite unsightful on face and the time for its disappearance depends very much on each different individual.

  • Dermal Filler

    Dermal Filler

    Dermal tissue filler has been widely used in aesthetic medicine, Hyaluronic acid is considered as most commonly used material, it is a naturally occurring polysaccharides distributing throughout dermis, epithelial and neural tissue to provide support of dermal structure and hydration to skin. However, the production of Hyaluronic acid will gradually decline with age, hormonal changed and excessive sun exposure. Skin then begins to lose its fullness and elasticity and result the presence of dehydrated and sunken texture , static lines and wrinkles.

    Replenishing deprived hyaluronic acid via injecting directly into dermal layers help rehydrating the skin and restoring weakened dermal support, and hence improvement of deep grooves and lines and improve the overall facial contouring. Common areas of treatment include tear-trough deformity, sunken and sagging mid-cheek, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, sunken temple areas, as well to enhance nasal bridge, chin and lip. Normally exogenous hyaluronic acid can last 6 – 9 months but duration does vary individually. They will be gradually dissolved and eventually excreted. Possible post injection phenomenon include transient swelling, redness and bruise, normally it will subside within 1 week. However, it is not recommended for pregnant, epileptic patients, drug allergy to anesthetic, and those on blood thinning medications such as warfarin and aspirin.

  • Dermal Subcision

    Dermal Subcision

    Dermal subcision with 19G/20G needle has been used to release down pulling traction of skin created by the adhesive fibrous tissue formed underneath, and hence it helps to raise up the depressed scarring.

    Reminder:

    • Medical consultation is needed prior to treatment for suitability and possible risks of complication.
    • Bruising will be expected after the treatment.
  • Fractional Laser Resurfacing

    Fractional Laser Resurfacing

    Fractional laser technology is designed to combine the merits of conventional ablative laser resurfacing (effective) and non-ablative laser procedures (safe). Fractional laser with wavelength 1550nm works via the principle of fractional photo-thermolysis where laser creates small microscopic columns (2-4mm) on skin. At sites where the microscopic columns penetrate the skin, they will induce collagen formation, and hence to improve the skin texture. Since the microscopic columns are intercepted by normal skin, healing occurs at a much faster rate and side effects are fewer than if the whole area had been ablated. Through generation of new collagen, it helps to improve acne scarring, tighten skin, reduce pore size and fine lines, and to improve traumatic or surgical scar.


    Remainders:

    • Suggested treatment interval is 4 - 6 weeks, and number of treatment sessions is subjected to medical evaluation and response of each subsequent treatment. As for acne scarring, it normally takes 6 - 8 treatment sessions to see the best possible result.
    • Factional Laser has much speedy recovery compared to traditional microdermabrasion.
    • It can combine with other phototherapy treatment.
  • Laser Toning / Rejuvenation

    Laser Toning / Rejuvenation

    Laser rejuvenation is a comprehensive non-ablative skin rejuvenation treatment. With principle of the selective photothermolysis, laser systems with different wavelength have been employed to achieve desirable effects in terms of improving, restoring and repairing skin damage from aging and sun exposure, and also reduce pore size, even out skin tone and improve skin texture.
