Fractional radiofrequency (Morpheus8®)
Overview
Morpheus8® is a skin treatment that stimulates the production of collagen through fractional radiofrequency energy. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, it can reshape facial and body tissue to reveal younger, more even-looking skin. It is an innovation in the field of aesthetic medicine and an improved version of the previously acclaimed technology, Fractora®.
Approved by
Procedure
Objective
Morpheus8® is a remodelling, re-texturing and resurfacing treatment for the skin of the face, neck and body. By improving the firmness and texture of the skin, it helps reduce the appearance of scars as well as wrinkles, pores and stretch marks.
Technique
Following the application of an anesthetic cream, the treatment is carried out using radiofrequency-type energy delivered through gold-plated micro-needles of up to 4 mm. This thus renews the deep layers of the skin, while minimizing the recovery period as much as possible.
Results
The results are noticeable after a few days but become more noticeable after 3 weeks. Improvements then continue for up to 3 months after treatment and usually persist for several years. An average of 3 treatments spaced 1 month apart is recommended in most cases for best results.
Fillers (Juvederm, Belotero, Restylane)
Overview
The fillers (Juvederm® / Belotero® / Restylane®) consist of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in our skin. The use of these agents helps maintain the volume of the skin and stimulate its hydration.
Approved by
Procedure
Objective
These agents mold to your face and use their volumizing power to fill the scar and make it almost invisible, giving you unified skin without deflection.
Technique
Following an evaluation, your doctor will establish a personalized treatment plan with you, taking care to choose the molecule that best suits your needs. The treatment will then be carried out through injections delivered to the surface by needles, under the scars.
Results
The result is apparent immediately after the injection and will last for a period of 9 to 12 months. Depending on the region being treated, retouching done once or twice a year will help you maintain an optimal result.
PRP (platelet rich plasma)
Overview
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) activates natural skin regeneration mechanisms by using your own blood growth factors, thereby stimulating the production of collagen and elastin.
Approved by
Procedure
Objective
Activating regeneration mechanisms with PRP will allow you to improve firmness and skin tone, and provide smoother skin on the face, neck and décolleté. This skin regeneration process will also help reduce the appearance of your scars.
Technique
PRP consists of injecting a liquid concentrated in platelets and growth factors superficially to the skin after taking a blood sample.
Results
The effect of PRP is apparent for approximately 12 months. Maintenance treatments carried out once or twice a year will allow you to maintain an optimal result.
Glycolic & chemical peelings
Overview
The glycolic acid (AHA) used in our peels is of natural origin and comes from fruit and sugar acids. This treatment removes a layer of dead cells and removes fats, impurities and bacteria that accumulate there, and empties pores.
Approved by
Procedure
Objective
A glycolic peel exfoliation will allow you to obtain a more radiant, healthy skin by standardizing your complexion and reducing the appearance of pores and pigmented spots. It will also help reduce scarring by allowing the surface layer of the skin to regenerate.
Technique
After cleaning the skin, the applied peel acts for 20 minutes. Besides a temporary redness or a slight tingling sensation, this treatment is painless.
Results
The slight redness will disappear 1 to 3 days after your treatment and the results will be visible for 3 to 6 months.
Microneedling
Overview
Over the years, the aging process of the skin gradually leads to the appearance of fine lines, dark spots, scars and enlarged pores. Microneedling helps stimulate a skin regeneration process and minimize the appearance of your scars.
Approved by
Procedure
Objective
Microneedling helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, improve skin texture and even out skin tone.
Technique
Through microperforations, this treatment stimulates the production of elastin and collagen. Moisturizers are applied at the end of the treatment for maximum effectiveness.
Results
This technique results in healthier, smoother-looking skin for a period of 3 to 6 months. To optimize results, microneedling can be combined with fillers, or with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) treatments, a technique known as “Vampire Facial”.
