Photo rejuvenation with any or all of our lasers (aura laser, revlite laser, isolaz, plasma portrait, and fractional laser) works in synergy to produce the best results.

We often also combine the lasers with other cosmetic procedures for rejuvenation such as fillers, muscle relaxant injections, suture lift, and other cosmetic surgery. Liposuculpture can help shape the face around the neck and jowls but rejuvenation tightens the skin. After a suture lift the best and longest results occur if rejuvenation therapy strats to help tighten the collagen whilst  the skin is lifted.

A number of our beauty cosmetic procedures in our Med Day Spa such as microdermabrasion, airgent, and peels often also complement laser rejuvenation.

It works because the laser light passes through the skin until it hits its target which is the blood in the vessels for the aura laser and the water in the deep dermis for the other lasers.

The laser delivers energy into the deep dermis where the fibroblasts (which make collagen) live creating heat.

This heat tricks the fibroblasts into making new collagen.

The process of new collagen formation takes 6-8weeks and then it crosslinks with the elastin over months.

This is why we say the improvement takes a few months to occur and continues to improve for 6-12mths.

Each time creates a difference but multiple cosmetic procedures for laser rejuvenation usually approx 1mth apart are needed.

There is risk of crust or scab with the laser rejuvenation especially if tan or fake tan or sunscreen or makeup on so come in with clean face and avoid sun.

We recommend 4-6 laser rejuvenation cosmetic procedures and over the years as we cont to age some maintenance laser rejuvenation cosmetic procedures as well.

Mid face filler and cheek bone enhancement are the new breakthrough in cosmetic procedures and rejuvenation.

As we age we often lose our mid face malar fat pad and so as our rounded cheek recede our skin hangs.

Of course sun exposure and smoking also contribute to this loosening of the skin as well as genetic factors leading to hollowing of the cheeks , jowls, and nasolabial folds.

Some of us also find the skin falling to the chin causing marionette lines and depressions.

So volumising the face with our thicker fillers especially to the mid face giving us back those rounded cheeks of our youth often accompanied with filler to enhance the cheek bones  rejuvenates the face and gives back that younger look.

We often combine this rejuvenation with filler with other rejuvenation cosmetic procedures such as laser or suture lift or neck liposuction.

There are many new cosmetic procedures and treatments which have varying length of how long the result lasts for. Cosmetic Dermatologists and Specialist have been behind the development of new lasers and injections and procedures for both rejuvenation and shaping.

Permanent Face Fillers:
Many women have fillers for lip and cheek enhancement. It replaces the loss of volume that occurs with aging. A new “permanent filler” was introduced in Australia a few years ago and has recently undergone further successful testing in the USA. Dr Lanzer who first highlighted this filler on national television when he was interviewed explained that one injection can last for many years. Patients commonly have it in there lips, in the fold between the lips and cheeks and in the cheeks itself.

Liposculpture:
With liposculpture, the actual fat cells are removed permanently. This means that if there is an area of stubborn fat, say the hips or stomach, then when the fat cells are removed the area permanently will not be prone to localized weight gain as in the past. Doctors stress the importance of keeping fit and eating well to enhance the long term results as fat can come back into other areas. Liposculpture is a form of key hole surgery where the fat is prepared with a watery solution and then suctioned away.

Breast Reduction In Women:
The breast react like other areas of body fat and once the fat is removed the breast becomes lighter and tighter for many years if not forever. Hormonal effects on the breast tissue itself may change the breast size, which would be relevant especially if a teenager was having the reduction.

Suture Lift:
The skin Suture lift is an immediate lifting of the face skin without removal of face skin. It is not a permanent procedure and requires maintenance.

Eyelid Rejuvenation:
When the skin, fat  and sagging of the upper and lower lids are removed the eye takes on a more youthful “awake” appearance. This lasts for many years.

Muscle Relaxants:
Frown lines and smile creases are only temporarily treated with cosmetic injections in MediDay spas and practices.
 
Megaliposuction:
Patients who have battled with weight reduction can benefit from the sudden kick start of a new shape. This may be performed in conjunction or as an alternative to other weight loss surgery.

How To Chose A Cosmetic Surgeon
1) A specialist, such as a Dermatologist has had vigorous training and examination in skin care and procedures.
2) Always ask the Surgeon for his experience ie How many procedures has he done of that particular surgery.
3) Reputation spreads easily and often gives a good indication about the Surgeon.
4) The personality of the Surgeon is as important as his skill. He must care, understand your particular concerns and be there for you after the operation.
5) Written literature from the Surgeon is very important and informative.
6) Does the Surgeon operate in State Of The Art Surgery and use the latest methods and equipment?

Liposculpture / Liposuction

Liposuction is a weight loss technique and the best candidates are those who have stubborn areas of fat that just will not go away. There is often a genetic component to the problem as people are preprogrammed to collect fat in defined locations such as the thighs and abdomen. We often see similar body shapes within families. This genetic predisposition is what makes it so difficult to rid these areas of their excess fat.

The best candidates for Liposuction are:
People whose weight is within the normal range or slightly above normal yet want to improve their figure.
People with excess fatty tissue located in a well-defined area.
Men and women who are in good general health.
Patients with good skin tone and elasticity, however all skin types can do well from liposuction.
The most common areas for patients to have Liposuction are the abdomen, waist, hips, inner and outer thighs, inner knees, arms, chest, back and under the jaw. In addition many men undergo Liposuction for excess breast tissue, known as Gynecomastia.
One of the many benefits of Liposuction is that it can be performed through tiny incisions, which can usually be placed in very discrete, well-camouflaged locations such as natural body creases. This allows for ideal healing and makes it very difficult for the scars to be visible with the passage of time.
Liposuction is actually a form of body sculpting,a saline solution is infused containing both an anesthetic and a medicine to reduce bleeding. This will firm up the area to allow more accurate “Liposculpting” and better results. The procedure is performed with a small hollow tube, known as a cannula, thru which the unwanted excess fat is permanently removed. Liposuction works because fat cells do not have the ability to reproduce and make new cells. The improved contours are proportionately maintained no matter what the patient’s future weight might be.

Dr Lanzer wrote this week:

Sagging upper eyelids are common as we age and they can cause a “tired” appearance. Likewise a collection of fat in the lower lids can cause a permanent dark shadow that also gives the impression of ageing and tiredness. The co2 laser, introduced by a dermatologist more than 15 years ago, can be used to enhance the eyelid appearance. The result is natural and creates a youthful result.

If you stand in front of the mirror and push the skin towards your ear, you can instantly see what the skin suture lift procedure can do for your face.

The suture lift involves using sutures alone under the outer cheek skin, near the ears, to lift the drooping cheeks. There is no excision surgery of loose skin. The procedure is performed through a small incision behind the ear, where the suture is fixed to the ear cartilage.

Liposuction remains one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. It is a relatively safe method for reshaping such areas as the outer thighs, hips, and stomach in women. Men often use liposuction to remove embarrassing “man boobs” on unwanted fat on their flanks and stomach.

During the procedure the unwanted fat is expanded with a watery solution that is then removed through “key holes”. Most areas of the body can be treated including the arms, ankles, inner thighs, back and knees. Mega-liposuction is ideal for patients weighing between 80kg and 130 kg. It is often performed in two stages with a total of 10 litres of fat removed. Most areas of the body are treatable.

Liposuction can also be used to reduce breast size. Through two tiny nicks dermatologists can remove between 400ml and 2 litres of fat from a woman’s heavy breasts. Women of all ages undergo the procedure and they can return to normal duties in a few days.
