The post Dermapen first appeared on SKIN TREATMENT TOWNSVILLE.]]> Dermapen Townsville DermaPen is the world’s leading skin needling therapy. The device glides effortlessly over the skin creating millions of fine channels. Hyaluronic and antioxidants we apply during the procedure are then delivered deeper into the skin where they are most effective. Following the treatment, the body’s natural healing processes begin and bring in new woven collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid that rejuvenates and restores skin integrity and appearance. Although you will notice changes after just one treatment, the full effects require 6-8 treatments over 6-12 months. The results from DermaPen are similar to those of fractional laser therapy. With the application of anaethetic creams the procedure is relatively painless, and there is little downtime. You may however notice some redness for up to 48 hours. This can be concealed with a mineral makeup if required. We also have a range of skin care products to use after and between treatments to enhance the results.

Dermapen can help with the following skin problems

  • Ageing skin
  • Fine lines
  • Pigment spots
  • Skin rejuvenation
  • Enlarged pores
  • Stretch marks
  • Scars – Acne, surgical and burns
  • Alopecia
  • Vitiligo

Skin Peels for WOMEN and MEN

Skin peels improve dull, weathered skin; freckling; pigmentation, fine wrinkling and shallow acne scars. R3 offers a variety of skin peels so that we are able to assess your specific concerns and individualise your treatment to offer you the best outcome.

Treatment Overview

Your skin is a living organ made up of millions of cells. Every day thousands of cells die fall off and are replaced by new cells from below. Unfortunately, as we age, this becomes a slower and more haphazard process, making your skin unable to shed dark blotches and sun damage. The function of skin peels is to create an even controlled shedding of several layers of damaged cells. This exposes a new, fresh layer of skin with a more even colour and a smoother texture. In addition, the peel stimulates new cells to grow, thereby tightening the skin, which decreases wrinkling. Some peels also infuse a combination of vitamins and anti-oxidants into the skin to help with pigmentation, acne, oiliness or other issues.

Skin Peel Treatments

Glycolic Peels
This is a very superficial peel made from mild organic acids such as glycolic from sugar cane. Glycolic peels rehydrate the skin, stimulate collagen production,  increase the effectiveness of skin care products and reduce skin blockages with  minimal down time.
Salicylic Acid Peels
This is a superficial peel, which resurfaces the epidermis with minimal downtime. Salicylic acid removes superficial pigment and scarring and is excellent for acne control, collagen induction and minimizes fine lines and tones skin.
Lactic Acid Peels
Lactic acid rehydrates the skin and is excellent after filler or anti-wrinkle injections. It plumps the skin making it appear youthful, hydrated and glowing. How is a peel performed? A solution is applied to your skin. This is usually associated with two to three minutes of a burning sensation. This burning is so brief that most patients choose not to use any sedation or anaesthesia.
What happens to my skin?
When the chemical is applied to the skin, it causes the top layers of cells to dehydrate and peel off over a period of several days. When the old skin has peeled off, it exposes a new layer of undamaged skin, which has a smoother texture and a more even colour. Peels containing vitamins and anti-oxidants are designed to cause minimal skin shedding.
How much time will I need off work?
The depth of the peel can be customised to match your requirements with the amount of downtime you are prepared to tolerate. Deeper peels result in more downtime but may achieve more dramatic results. Most people take around three days to heal from a resurfacing peel. During the healing process there is no pain, but the skin may look as if it is sunburned.
How soon can I resume outdoor activities?
Anyone who has a peel is more sensitive to sunlight for at least six to eight weeks after their peel. During this time it is very important to protect the new skin with sunscreen, hats and the avoidance of strong sunlight. However, most people are anxious to protect their new improved skin from the damage of sun exposure and they continue to wear sunscreen daily even after they have healed completely. Using our recommended skin care products after a peel results in enhancement of the cosmetic benefits as well as improving the longevity of the peel.
What are the Risks?
Complications in this type of treatment are infrequent. In the worst case a permanent mark or scar can result. This is extremely rare and when it occurs is normally related to an abnormality such as people who have a disorder of healing, picking or cold sore infection. In rare instances cold sore infection can be activated which may spread over the peeled area and in the worst case leave a scar. Peeling or picking the skin before it is ready to peel of its own accord will result in prolonged healing and possibly a permanent mark. Excessive pigmentation may occur, particularly in those who tan easily or if there is unprotected sun exposure within two months of the peel. It is virtually unknown that this does not totally respond to fading creams if treated when it appears.

Anti-Wrinkle Treatment Townsville for WOMEN and MEN

Anti-wrinkle treatment involves the injection of a small amount of a purified protein, using a very fine needle, into specific muscles of the face. The medication causes these muscles to relax creating a softening of the wrinkles above them.  This results in a fresher, rejuvenated appearance in the treated areas. Anti-wrinkle injections are most useful in the upper face; specifically frown lines, horizontal forehead lines and wrinkles radiating out from the side of the eyes (crow’s feet).
Safety
Anti-wrinkle injections are extracted from bacteria and refined into a medication that has been used safely and effectively in millions of patients for over 25 years. There have been no long-term side-effects recorded from cosmetic usage.
Effectiveness
Results from anti-wrinkle injections begin around 3 to 5 days after treatment and the full effect is seen after 10 to 14 days.  The results generally last 3 to 4 months at their maximum effect before gradually wearing off. However, many factors determine treatment duration.  Younger patients generally have a longer duration and higher treatment doses tend to last longer.  Patients that are very physically active often report a shorter duration of action.  Interestingly, the same patient may receive different durations from two identical treatments. As a rule of thumb, most patients will initially require treatment 3 to 4 times per year to maintain their results.  Over time with repeated treatments, patients often only require treatment 2 to 3 times per year.  However, there is no compulsion to have regular treatment.

The post Dermal Fillers first appeared on SKIN TREATMENT TOWNSVILLE.]]> Dermal Fillers Townsville for WOMEN and MEN As time passes the face loses volume and changes shape. Typically a child or young adult will have full face with the cheek area or mid face being broader than the lower face. As we age, usually beginning in the thirties, we begin to lose volume in the cheek area. This causes flatness and a tired look. As this volume loss progresses there is loss of support for the lower face which exacerbates nasolabial lines (folds between the outer lower nose and the outer lip). In addition, volume loss between the corners of the mouth and jaw leads to marionette lines and jowls. Volume loss also occurs in the temples, around the eyes and lips. All of these factors contribute to increased heaviness in the lower face and a more square shape as we age. Loss of volume can also cause finer wrinkles in the facial skin generally. This has been likened to the look of a partially deflated balloon. What are Dermal Fillers? Dermal Fillers are injectable substances that can be used to address these issues. There are a variety of Dermal Fillers available. By far the most common type of filler is comprised of synthetic hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the body and is responsible for helping the skin remain hydrated and plump. The reason that hyaluronic acid fillers are the most popular is due to their natural look and feel as well as their excellent safety profile. Hyaluronic acid fillers are temporary and, if necessary, can be dissolved away. Other fillers often last longer but have a much greater risk of side-effects and complications. Hyaluronic acid fillers come in a variety of brands. Each brand has a range of products. These products vary in thickness or consistency between very soft and thick. Generally thicker products last longer but they have to be injected deeper into the skin and are only suitable for replacing lost volume rather than treating fine lines. Finer fillers are injected closer to the surface and are generally used for filling surface lines and wrinkles. Treatment with Dermal Fillers sometimes does take more than one session to get the best results. The first treatment lays the foundation for the subsequent treatments. The best long term results are usually achieved by regular sessions of smaller amounts of filler. This way the impact of the treatment is lessened, the cost becomes more manageable and adjustments can be made.
