Skin Care Aesthetics

Visia is a aophisticated technology to measure your epidermis and dermis (spots/enlarged pores/texture/acne scarring/oil/dehydration/redness/fine lines). It then compares your skin to other people your age, skin colour and sex. Most importantly is measures your skin’s age versus your age. This 3D technology allows our doctors and skin therapists to create a bespoke skin plan for you, to target your specific concerns and to achieve measurable results.

Use scientifically proven skin care products that contain the right quantity of active ingredients, such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C, antioxidants, pigment controller and sun protection.

Yes. Your skin is made up of oil and water, so a balance is important. By using the correct light weight hydrating lotion, you will not make your skin oilier.

Sun protection is necessary from the age of six months. The sun is the biggest cause of premature ageing and unfortunately, the negative effects of long term sun exposure are only seen years later. Certain medications, such as contraceptive pills and some antibiotics, make the skin more sun sensitive and can result in the formation of melasma (pigmentation) in young women.

Depending how severe your oil production (and acne) is, you may require oral medication prescribed by a dermatologist. Use a gentle cleanser that does not strip your skin barrier, leaving your skin squeaky clean. By over cleansing, the skin will automatically produce more oil to compensate. Ingredients such as glycolic acid or salicylic acid will improve the cell turnover and manage unwanted bacteria on the skin.

Yes, amongst young adults, both men and women. Acne may occur on the face, chest and back. It should be treated immediately in order to minimise scarring. While topical products treat the symptoms of acne, medication is required to treat the cause.

Superficial chemical peels are one of safest and most effective methods to treat mild to moderate acne. Using specific peels to control oil production and kill bacteria, we can minimise congestion (especially an oily T-panel), control blackheads and refine enlarged pores. A course of peels is required, with an interval of two to four weeks between each one.

Absolutely, to cleanse, gently exfoliate, hydrate and balance the skin. A hydrafacial can be customised to address your specific skin requirements.

You will enjoy the long-term benefits of laser hair removal, which is FDA approved, to offer a permanent solution to hair reduction.

One of the many reasons laser hair removal is so popular is many men and women suffer from ingrown hairs. By using the correct laser, the hair follicle (root) is destroyed, therefore unsightly and painful ingrown hairs will no longer restrict your lifestyle.

Redrape – lift and tighten using threads/ surgery)

Best results are achieved by combining a variety of treatment modalities. At Enhance, our specialist dermatologists and plastic surgeons have a wide selection of devices to achieve a natural, beautiful and radiant appearance.

Our neck, chest and hands reveal our true ages. They appear to be more wrinkled, losing elasticity and volume, and have hypo or hyperpigmentation. While most people focused on their faces, they neglecte all other exposed areas of the body. Apply all your skin care products and sun block to these areas. Fortunately, modern technology such as hydrating skin boosters, Morphues8, threads, fractional resurfacing, IPL, peels, needling, PRP and lipofilling will repair visible damage.

In order to create chiselled definition, we need to tighten muscle and stimulate collagen production. One option with technologies such as Morphues8 (microneedling and radio frequency) or with using a threading technique.

By using a 3D imaging device, a plastic surgeon or dermatologist can determine how and with what, to add fullness, tighten skin and give definition. You may need a combination of treatment methods to address your concerns. Should surgery be your best option, a plastic surgeon will discuss this with you.

While fillers add volume to skin, Botox is used to relax muscles especially on your forehead to stop frowning and crow’s feet around the eyes. It targets expression lines. Both Botox and fillers may be required and can be injected at the same time.

As it is neurotransmitter, Botox can be used to treat the platysmal band (running down the neck), gummy smile, bruxism (grinding your teeth), hyperhidrosis (excess sweating), migraines and vaginismus.

When left untreated, acne may lead to scarring (superficial to deep, pitted scars). Although scars cannot be removed, they can be softened to visually look better and to boost ones confidence. The depth of the scars will determine the most appropriate treatment, whether it be medium depth peels, fractional resurfacing, radio frequency or microneedling.

Due to pregnancy or excessive weight gain or weight loss, red stretch marks may appear. By using topical creams during this time, stretch marks can be minimised. However, professional treatments are available to reduce the appearance of new stretch marks (lasers, microneedling, peels). White stretch marks are regarded as mature and do not respond well to treatments.
