Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers, sometimes called soft tissue fillers, are substances designed to be injected beneath the surface of the skin to add volume and fullness.
​
Different types of dermal fillers are designed to treat varying signs of aging. Depending on the filler selected, they may:
-
plump up thinning lips
-
enhance or fill in shallow areas on the face
-
decrease or remove the shadow or wrinkle under the eyes caused by the lower eyelid
-
fill in or soften the look of recessed scars
-
fill in or soften static wrinkles, especially on the lower face
Static wrinkles include those around the mouth and along the cheeks. These wrinkles are usually a result of a loss of collagen and elasticity in the skin.
Anti - wrinkle Treatments
Anti- wrinkle treatment works by blocking nerve signals in the muscles where it is injected. When those nerve signals are interrupted, the affected muscle is temporarily paralyzed or frozen. Without movement of these selected muscles in the face, certain wrinkles may be softened, reduced, or even removed.
Treatments made with botulinum toxin are sometimes called neuromodulators or neurotoxins.
These only work on wrinkles that are caused by muscle movement, such as dynamic wrinkles, and are often called “expression lines.”
The most common dynamic wrinkles that can be treated are lines on the upper face, such as the “11” between the brows, horizontal lines on the forehead, and crow’s feet around the eyes. These lines are caused by smiling, frowning, squinting, and other facial expressions.
​
Repeated treatments are necessary for continued wrinkle-reducing effects. Most people find that the muscle-relaxing effect lasts for 3 to 4 months.
Microneedling
Microneedling is an advanced skin treatment, also known as the collagen induction therapy, performed with the use of a device called Dermapen.
This device uses a cartridge equipped with multiple needles that create microscopic punctures to the skin. Trauma caused in this process triggers regenerative process and helps the skin to improve its ability to self-repair.
Microneedling benefits:
- Stimulation of collagen and elastin production
- Improved skin density and elasticity

Mesotherapy
Non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves injecting cocktails of various vitamins into the the skin.
The treatment involves performing multiple injections into the skin with the use of a short, thin needle in a strictly defined manner and at a precisely defined depth. These micro punctures use the resulting injury as a natural skin response to the stimulation of skin cells. The injected active ingredients are able to work on the optimal level since they are delivered directly to the area that needs it the most.

Chemical Peels
Chemical peel is recommended for the first signs of skin aging, such as loss of firmness or wrinkles, but also in the case of such skin problems as overproduction of sebum or dryness.
It is also excellent method of supporting acne therapy, treatment of discoloration and other skin defects. The effects of the treatment are quickly noticeable.
Skin peel can be an alternative for people who do not want to opt for a more invasive aesthetic treatment, and who appreciate traditional cosmetic solutions. This is a procedure that can be repeated quite often and is characterized by low invasiveness and speed of the procedure. However, an in depth consultation is required prior the procedure in order to choose the right peel for your skin needs.
