Multiple Skin Problems - One Powerful Haven for Solution!Fat Removal (Liposuction): Trying to eliminate pockets of excess fat that accumulate on the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and other areas of the body can be a frustrating process. Many people who want to achieve more aesthetically pleasing body contours turn to liposuction, which has been one of the most popular plastic surgery techniques for more than three decades now.
Often combined with other plastic surgery procedures such as abdominoplasty ("tummy tuck" surgery) and breast augmentation, liposuction is a potentially ideal solution for anyone looking to refine and rejuvenate their contours. Body contouring could be done either as a non-surgical or surgical method.
In non-surgical methods devices like Radiofrequency and high frequency ultrasound can be used to reduce the fat in the body and also to firm the skin. The mechanism behind the radiofrequency and high frequency ultrasound is the frequency that causes displacement of the fat in the involved area with subsequent excretion and metabolism of the fat involved. In firming, the frequency causes micro-frequency injury to the dermis with subsequent stimulation of collagen and thereafter firmness of the skin. The non-surgical processes involve gradual reduction in session of treatment to reduce the body fat and firm the skin simultaneously. Many sessions could be required to achieve the result desired by the client. Surgical methods e.g. tummy tucking, liposuction, face-lifting which some consider not safe however give better and faster result.
In tummy tucking the surgeon design the amount of fat and skin to be excised(removed) from the lower abdomen and in addition to this there is a repair of the abdominal muscle called rectus abdominis (through the rectus fascia) which in a lot of women after delivery would have been wide apart. This tightening in addition to the fat/skin (adipocutaneous layer) that has been removed will give a firmer and fitted abdomen. The belly buttons will also be recreated during the surgery to give a good aesthetic look. All these services can be accessed at our center in Grandville Medical and Laser.
FACIAL THREAD LIFT: A facial thread lift is a convenient, less invasive alternative to traditional facelifts. It is designed for people who are beginning to experience minor sagging in their face or neck but do not have excessively loose skin or drooping facial areas. The cosmetic surgeon inserts thin threads into the face through tiny incisions made in the targeted area. These threads attach to the skin tissue and are then pulled back to lift and smooth the face. Once the threads are knotted, they become hidden within the skin itself, and any scarring that results will be virtually invisible.
This innovative facelift procedure can be performed in just one or two hours and often without anesthesia. Patients can approve the look of their thread lift while the surgeon works because they usually remain fully conscious. Facial thread lifts generally produce clear results immediately and comprise of less risk than more rigorous facelift surgery. The costs of thread lift are quite reasonable compared to traditional options. Recovery is generally quick, with most patients returning to work the next day or after a few days’ rest. If signs of aging are minimal, a thread lift is a good way to make cosmetic enhancements while avoiding facelift scarring and other potential side effects that sometimes occur after more intensive surgical procedures.

ALKALINE WASH is available only as a professional in-clinic treatment in the hands of a highly skilled therapist. The treatment is totally pain free although in some cases, the area treated can appear red and warm following treatment.
STRETCH MARKS: The dermis is 95% of the total skin volume and when the dermis is constantly overstretched it can break down and leave stretch marks behind. Stretch marks occur when skin doesn't bounce back after it's been stretched due to pregnancy, rapid weight gain, extreme weight loss, or use of toning and bleaching products. Hence, stretch marks seem to be caused, literally, by stretching of the skin.
Focus of stretch mark treatment will be to restore the structural integrity of the skin by increasing the thickness of the skin and stimulating collagen formation. This could be achieved by using the following products:-Copper Serum, SND Corrector, and Intensive Scar repair with Microneedle.
WHAT IS BOTOX?
Botox injections are the best known of a group of medications that use various forms of botulinum toxin to temporarily paralyze muscle activity. Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin used to make Botox. They’re 7 types of Botulinium toxin, which are: botulinium toxin A, B, C, D, E, F, G. Botulinium toxin A and C are the recommended and widely used Botox.
USES
Botox is used medically to treat certain muscular conditions and cosmetically to remove wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing the involved muscles. Botox injections are also used to treat such problems as muscle contractures, repetitive neck spasms (cervical dystonia), excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), overactive bladder and some causes of crossed eyes. Botox injections may also help prevent chronic migraines in some people.
MODE OF ACTION/HOW IT WORKS
Botox works by blocking the nerves that cause contraction of the muscles and subsequently softening the appearance of wrinkles. The most common use of these injections is to temporarily relax the facial muscles that underlie and cause wrinkles, such as: Frown lines between the eyebrows, Crow's-feet (the lines that fan out from the corners of the eyes) and Forehead furrows (the horizontal lines that form when you raise your eyebrows)
DERMA FILLERS
Derma fillers, also known as “injectables” or “soft-tissue fillers,” do just what their name suggests: they fill in the area under the skin. The Derma fillers are injected into the skin to fill in facial wrinkles to restore a smoother appearance. Unlike Botox injections that relax the muscle under a wrinkle, dermal fillers fill the line, crease, or the area. Injectable fillers can give you a more youthful look for a fraction of what a traditional facelift costs. Some fillers are natural and some are synthetic, but they all work to improve the appearance of aging skin in the following ways: filling in wrinkles, fine lines and deep creases, improving other imperfections like scars, filling out thin or wrinkled lips, plumping up cheeks and contouring the jaw line and other areas of the face.
