Collagen, accounting for 30% of all proteins, maintains skin elasticity and firmness, and is responsible for the adhesion and regeneration of cells that make up the connective tissue. From the age of 25, we lose approximately 1% of collagen annually, this combined with the degradation of collagen result in loss of volume, crepey skin, wrinkles and fine lines, and an aged appearance.
The injection of Linerase (Type I Collagen) stimulates the natural repair and regrowth of connective tissue by boosting the production of fibroblasts and Type III Collagen, leading to noticeable improvements in skin texture and firmness. The formula is well-tolerated, making it a safe option for all.
Softens fine lines and wrinkles
Improves skin laxity
Improves appearance of acne scars
Improves appearance of stretch marks
Enhances overall skin quality
Side effects are minimal. You may notice small bumps and redness at the injection sites, bruising may also occur. Usual activities may be resumed immediately after treatment.
For optimal results, it is recommended to have one session every two weeks for a total of four sessions. After the initial set of four sessions, you can maintain your results with a session every four to six months.
The treatment is a lot more comfortable than other injectables
due to the addition of lidocaine, which reduces pain. In addition,
numbing cream will be applied before treatment.
Injectable Type I Collagen can be combined with the following:
1. Reduces “bad enzymes” Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPS)
MMPs contribute to inflammation and collagen degradation, they also appear to be involved in connective tissue metabolic disorders resulting in conditions such as acne, eczema and dermatitis. Inhibiting MMPs returns the skin back to its normal collagen metabolic state.
2. Activates HSPs (heat shock proteins)
HSPs aid in skin immunity and strengthens its ability to heal. They are produced to help the skin combat stressful conditions such as exposure to extreme temperatures and UV radiation.
3. Increase GAGs (glycosaminoglycans)
GAGs accelerate cell metabolism and hyaluronan content in skin. By increasing tissue turgor, it improves texture, tone and strengthens the skin barrier.
Most ultrasound systems use a single frequency, typically in the range of 1 to a maximum of 5 MHz, the therapeutic effect is thus far below the superficial skin layers. LDM uses a special frequency of 10 MHz other than 1 and 3MHz, which allows the energy to work effectively on the epidermis and dermis, where disease processes take place. In addition, the system switches and combines frequencies at timed intervals, ensuing better dynamic pressure distribution in the tissue over several skin layers.
While improvement may be observed after just one session, for optimal and full results, LDM should be performed once every week or fortnight for the first six weeks. Maintenance sessions are recommended once every month to two months.
Dermatological conditions such as eczema or psoriasis may need up to eight treatments and in more complex and severe cases, ten to sixteen sessions.
HIFU can improve the following conditions:
A typical treatment program is made up of four initial sessions, with a session done once every three months. Thereafter, one session every four to six months is recommended for maintenance.
HIFU is usually combined with BBL or Profhilo for better rejuvenation results.
SkinTyte utilises infrared technology to deeply heat dermal collagen. This process promotes partial denaturation and contraction of collagen. The heat also initiates the body’s natural healing process, which creates a renewed collagen foundation leading to increased skin firmness. Powerful sapphire cooling protects the entire treated surface during treatment, ensuring comfort and safety. SkinTyte can be applied to both the face and body including the abdomen, thighs, arms, buttocks and lower back.
SkinTyte can improve the following conditions:
At least 5 sessions, with a session done once every 3 weeks. For maintenance, every 2 months.
SkinTyte is usually combined with BBL to boost overall rejuvenation.
V Form delivers a safe and effective treatment for body and facial contouring, cellulite reduction and tightening of sagging skin following weight loss or pregnancy. V Form utilises CORE™ technology, a combination of multipolar radiofrequency energy and vacuum therapy. The vacuum suction increases blood microcirculation and lymphatic drainage while facilitating deeper penetration of the radiofrequency energy. The radiofrequency energy in turn, shrinks fat cells and heats the underlying network of collagen and elastin fibers, thereby, increasing skin elasticity. V Form can be applied to both the face and body including the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, lower back, arms and inner thighs.
V Form body can be combined with Clatuu Alpha Cryolipolysis. V Form face can be combined with PCR light or laser toning to boost overall rejuvenation.
Profhilo® belongs to a class of bio-remodelling “injectable skincare” that addresses skin laxity and signs of ageing. This is achieved through the bio-stimulation of collagen, elastin and adipocyte stem cells that were lost through skin ageing. The treatment firms and tightens skin, boosts hydration, and improves skin texture.
Profhilo® offers one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid (64mg/2ml) among the different types of injectables. This is made possible with NAHYCO® Technology, where 32mg of high molecular HA and 32mg of low molecular HA bind together through thermal cross-linking to form the Hybrid Cooperative Complex Hyaluronic (HCC) Acid. This reduces post-procedural inflammatory response and allows higher spreadability, which in turn translates to a better safety profile, fewer injection points, and reduced downtime.
Administration of a full 2 ml syringe requires only 5 injection points on each side of the face or neck. This reduces discomfort and the risk of bruising or haematoma.
Side effects are minimal. You may notice small bumps at the injection sites, bruising may also occur. The benefits will not be immediately visible, full results are typically observed 4-8 weeks after the second syringe.
A typical treatment program is made up of two syringes, administered 4 weeks apart, a third syringe may be necessary for patients with more severe laxity. Maintenance sessions should be repeated every 6-9 months.
Injectable biostimulators can be combined with HIFU or SkinTyte for maximal skin tightening and lifting.
