Karen Ellithorne discusses this revolutionary approach in aesthetic medicine. Over the last few years medical aesthetic doctors have been treating existing wrinkles and working on the prevention thereof. Their main tools have been botulinum toxin and the new generation of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. After years of regular treatments and patient follow-up sessions, aesthetic practitioners came to notice that certain procedures and products used did not only address wrinkles, but also subtly lifted and gave the face a more relaxed, rested appearance.Fri, 27 Jan 2012 06:51:00 GMThttp://www.medicalaesthetics.co.za/Default.aspx?news=cd8fa7a4-4dbc-4a2b-a1ae-e13498c7a001&ln=3Next to your face your hands are the most exposed area of your body. Your hands can give your age away or make you appear much older than you physically are. This is due to the fact that the skin on the hands is much thinner than the rest of the body and with the normal loss of subcutaneous fat due to ageing results in visible tendons, bones and veins.Fri, 13 Jan 2012 04:47:39 GMThttp://www.medicalaesthetics.co.za/Default.aspx?news=d8af3753-d1fc-498d-9695-1cd9a46bbee4&ln=3Laser, Ultrasound and Radio Frequency I have an Accent Ultra Laser Machine, (one of 3 in the country), that works with Ultrasound and Radio Frequency.

The skin around the eyes is generally ten times thinner than the skin on the face so as a result it is this area that always ages prematurely due to ultra violet ray exposure. Over time the continued exposure breaks down the collagen and elastin and leads to the formation of fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet in the delicate eye area. Other eye conditions that can also age a person dramatically and make them appear unhealthy are drooping eye lids, dark circles and sunken eyes. We are going to take a look at some of medical techniques that can be applied by medical aesthetic practitioners to improve the eye contour.Tue, 22 Nov 2011 03:46:57 GMThttp://www.medicalaesthetics.co.za/Default.aspx?news=b53961b5-be20-4b9d-830d-b6e25425ca73&ln=3Hyperpigmentation is a skin condition that can not only be debilitating but also extremely aging when it appears on the face, décolleté, arms and hands. Pigmentation can be caused by anything from hormonal changes to overexposure to the sun. It is a condition that can make the skin tone appear uneven and in darker skin types often dull. Most patients suffering with pigmentation on their face need to wear heavy foundation in order to camouflage these marks and feel comfortable in a daily environment.

Peels are very effective in the treatment of hyperpigmentation as they help to enable the penetration of de pigmenting active ingredients such as Kojic acid, phytic acid, idebenone and azelaic acid to name a few into the layers of the skin. When a peel acts on parts of the dermis and epidermis excess pigmentation in the dermis is eliminated during the process of the cutaneous reconstruction. Treatment of pigmentation with peels can take about a year to achieve the ultimate results as you need to try and break the cycle of the melanin production. Patients will need to be informed of this and also told to avoid strong sunlight and use localised treatments on the area over a number of years to keep the condition at bay.Thu, 10 Nov 2011 06:32:46 GMThttp://www.medicalaesthetics.co.za/Default.aspx?news=3220be21-2ddd-48e7-80bc-d67e7be05052&ln=3At Nine Dots Spa Furniture we approach our furniture designs with a kick of sophistication mixed with understated chic and this has emerged to suit a broad palette of tastes, desires and demands.

In the organism, lipoproteins are responsible for transporting lipids to the target tissues. Their structure is adapted for the transport of lipids in plasma and formed by a hydrophilic covering and a hydrophobic nucleus, thereby enabling the movement of lipids, both of endogenous and exogenous origin, for use. Polyunsaturated phosphatidyl choline is a choline- based phospholipid containing 80% linoleic acid, 15% oleic acid and 5% linoleic acid.

The detoxification and antioxidant complex assists in riding the body of harmful toxins thus allowing the body to use its energy on other processes essential to healthy weight loss. As toxins accumulates within the body, free radicals are formed which leads to resultant inflammation within the cells of the body. As weight gain is essentially an inflammatory condition with resultant water retention, Nimue NAD+ can be incorporated into a weight loss program to assist in the reduction of inflammation.

A few years ago the gap between beauty salons and medical aesthetics clinics was vast, but now many clinics are realising the added value of offering less invasive, more pampering treatments to their menu. Although statistics have shown that consumers are continuing to spend money on looking and feeling good, despite the current global economic climate, many clinics are still feeling the pinch with clients coming back less regularly for treatments such as botox and fillers or holding off on having more expensive procedures.Fri, 09 Sep 2011 12:56:39 GMThttp://www.medicalaesthetics.co.za/Default.aspx?news=3e2992c1-42b8-49a9-8fe9-76043493c89f&ln=3We take a look at the growing market for cosmeceutcials. Nowadays you can’t turn on your TV or open the pages of a magazine without seeing an advert for a ‘miracle’ moisturiser, serum or eye cream that promises to banish wrinkles and make users look 10 years younger. It is no surprise then that many women find it hard to separate the fact from the fiction when it comes to choosing a skincare regime that is right for them. The health and appearance of the skin is the biggest giveaway of a person’s age. While surgical procedures such as face-lifts can turn back the clock, if the quality of someone’s skin is poor, they can still look older than their years. your clinic stand out from the crowd you need to be offering consumers treatments that fit this mould.
