The 4 most important “Ms” of skin health Conditions and Treatments that you should be aware of in order to ensure good skin care practices for healthy, firm and supple skin.

Melasma

Melasma is a stubborn brown discoloration of the skin that is a result of hormonal changes, for example the use of oral contraceptive pill or pregnancy. In most cases, they typically respond poorly to mild treatments such as peels, creams or IPL. Avoiding the sun and using sunscreen are key to preventing melasma.

Merobotox

Microinjections of small and dilute doses of Botox with generous doses of vitamins and hyaluronic acid are distributed superficially all over the face to diminish fine wrinkles without muscle paralysis and to improve sheen of the skin. After 1 session, pores are visibly smaller, skin less oily and more lifted!

This is not the same as Botox which is used to treat muscles and diminish wrinkles. Merobotox is only applied to the skin (not muscles) for its superficial skin mattifying and lifting benefits.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a superior skin polishing treatment that uses vacuum suction and a spray of aluminum oxide crystals to smoothen, even and deep cleanse clogged and uneven skin. It helps lightens superficial blemishes resulting in smoother, clearer and more refined complexion.

Mixto

Mixto Resurfacing Laser combines a state-of-the-art fractional CO2 technology and a micro-laser “airbrush” delivery system. This will enable the patient to have deep, long lasting and immediate results without the side effects, risks and downtime of traditional ablative skincare lasers.

This means that improvements and treatment to the deeper portions of the skin is possible, unlike traditional facial skin care laser technologies which gives only superficial benefits, It is therefore able to stimulate the formation of new collagen in the deeper layers resulting in deeper rejuvenation effects, as well as being able to treat stubborn skin conditions (such as deep scars and pigmentation) that were impossible with traditional non-ablative technologies.

What are the benefits of Mixto Micro Resurfacing?

  • Immediate Tightening: immediate contraction of collagen fibers reduces wrinkles and loose skin. Skin laxity is noticeably improved.
  • Textural Improvement: Removes pigmentation problems, reduces pore size, improves wrinkles and acne scars, as well as treat other textural irregularities. It is effective on skin lesions like dyschromia (discoloration from sun damage and aging) and on actinic keratoses (pre-cancerous cells that may be invisible to the naked eye).
  • However, the benefits do not just stop at the immediate improvements seen. Apart from the immediate “lifting” effect of the skin, there is a secondary “skin rebirth” effect, which is the production of new collagen over the next 6 – 12 weeks, resulting in youthful looking healthy skin.
