botox cosmetic BOTOX® is a highly purified, naturally occurring protein which is injected into specific muscle with a very fine point needle. It has the ability to very precisely relax the muscles to which it is applied. This relaxation lasts for a number of months after which the treated muscles gradually return to their original condition. BOTOX® does not affect the sensory nerves in the skin, so there is no numbness in the treated areas.

BOTOX® treatments can be stopped at any time with no permanent effects on your appearance. If you have

BOTOX® treatments for several years, you may find that the muscles will take longer to return to their original condition, leading to some improvement in your fine lines and wrinkles, particularly if you are careful to protect your skin from sun exposure and smoke.
botox therapeutic A pleasant side effect of BOTOX® treatment to the forehead, eyebrows, and crow’s feet is the reduction or elimination of headaches & excessive sweating. BOTOX® used for headaches and excessive sweating is called Botox Therapeutic.

This is the same medication as BOTOX Cosmetic™, but because it is used for medical purposes, clients with specific drug plans can get this treatment at a discounted price or for free.
fillers Fillers like Restylane™, Perlane™, Juvederm & Teosyal, collagen (Zyplast™ and Zyderm™), Artecoll™ and other products fill creases, lips, cheekbones, and also defects like acne scars. Sometimes BOTOX® is used in combination with fillers when treating certain areas where permanent deep lines have resulted from over activity of the muscles e.g. some frown lines on the lower forehead or wrinkles around the lips.

acne treatment Acne is a common medical condition that affects upto 80 percent of adolescents & adults at some point in their lives. It is caused by a bacteria know as Corynaebactrium Acne. The bacterium grows in the blocked sebaceous glands of the skin and causes Acne. These bacteria release molecules called porphyrins. When these porphyrins are exposed to certain wavelength of light they produce free radicals that kill the bacteria.

Blu-U light therapy involves use of visible blue wavelength of light with Levulan. The Levulan (aminolevulinic acid) helps increase photosensivity & the Blu-light activates a toxic environment inside the pores and kills the acnecausing bacteria. Once the P.acne bacterium is removed, inflammation diminishes & acne clears up.
chemical peels Skin is a dynamic organ. Everyday cells divide at the basal layer of the epidermis & begin their journey upward to the uppermost layer, the stratum corneum. As new cells continue to grow, old cells from the stratum corneum slough off. This exfoliation of cells is a normal daily event. Chemical peeling is basically an accelerated form of exfoliation induced by the use of chemical peeling agents. The aim is to create as little tissue death as possible while inducing as much new tissue formation as possible.
microdermabrasion Men & women of all ages share a common desire to have healthy and youthful skin.

Sun exposure and the aging process take their toll on the skin, creating lines, wrinkles, and causing changes in texture and color of the skin. Not only is the face, but the neck, chest, cleavage, arms and hands may be affected as well. Microdermabrasion can reduce the effects of aging on our skin.

Diamondtome Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical, exfoliating treatment that improves wrinkles, skin color& texture by removing the topmost layer of skin leaving it more supple and vibrant. It stimulates the collagen tissue beneath the surface of the skin resulting in a healthier and firmer appearance.
photo rejuvenation Intensed Pulsed Light provides unparalleled performance & results for clients with photo damaged skin, unwanted fine lines & wrinkles, age spots (sun induced freckles), most benign brown pigments, broken capillaries & the redness or erythema of rosacea. It also improves skin laxity & skin texture virtually painlessly.

Photo rejuvenation uses energy from the Cutera Xeo IPL 560 laser. Laser energy penetrates without damaging the superficial layers of the skin. Cells containing excessive concentration of pigment absorb this energy. This absorbed energy stimulates your skin to disintegrate and eliminate the unwanted excessive pigment while having little or no effect on other tissues or on your normal skin color.
photo facials For a more even complexion, Advanced Foto facial skin rejuvenation treatment is a series of Intense Pulsed Light treatments that can be performed on the face, neck, hands or body. This treatment is used to improve the appearance of Rosacea, flushing skin, broken or raised capillaries, sun damaged skin, age spots, skin texture & photo-aging. This treatment also improves mild acne scars, redness, and large pores. It minimizes dark circles around the eyes & reduces fine lines.

laser vein treatment Laser vein treatment is a non-invasive light therapy designed to eliminate undesired blood vessels from all parts of the body by generating a pulse of intense, concentrated light. This laser light is directed through a small, cooled hand piece and is gently applied to the treatment site.
fraxelFraxel® Laser Treatment is designed to target aging and damaged skin by creating microscopic “wounds” within the targeted areas well beneath the skin’s outermost layer. In this way, Fraxel® Laser treatment triggers the body’s own natural production of new collagen and skin cells. And because Fraxel® Laser Treatment combines the impact of ablative lasers with the gentleness of non-ablative lasers, healing occurs so quickly that there is very little downtime for you.

PEELS FOR ALL SKIN TYPES - AHA/BHA
Skin is a dynamic organ. Everyday cells divide at the basal layer of the epidermis & begin their journey upward to the uppermost layer, the stratum corneum. As new cells continue to grow, old cells from the stratum corneum slough off. This exfoliation of cells is a normal daily event. Chemical peeling is basically an accelerated form of exfoliation induced by the use of chemical peeling agents. The aim is to create as little tissue damage as possible while inducing as much new tissue formation as possible.

Chemical Peel is controlled destruction of portions of the epidermis & dermis with subsequent regeneration of new epidermal & dermal tissue.

Depth of Peels

Very superficial:
These peels either thin or remove stratum corneum.

Superficial:
These peels create necrosis of part or all of epidermis from below stratum corneum to the basal layer, but may extend to the papillary dermis.

Medium:
These create necrosis of epidermis & part or all of papillary dermis with possible extension to the upper reticular dermis.

Deep:
These create necrosis of the epidermis & papillary dermis extending into the mid reticular dermis.

The factors determining depth of the peel are, peeling agent used, integrity of the epidermal barrier & your skin type.

Medique peels

Medique Skincare, launched by a dermatologist, features a unique line of quality skincare products incorporating the use of AHA/BHA, vitamins, botanicals & antioxidants. They are made of 4 AHA’s & 2 BHA’s that can provide exfoliation with less stinging & irritation. These products are non-comedogenic & the ingredients are carefully selected to ensure they are the least likely to cause irritation.

A series of skin treatments is necessary to achieve consistently good results. The number of treatments performed is dependent on your skin condition.

By using Medique homecare products you will contribute to a more uniform consistent treatment hence improving the end result.

Medique peels create following changes in the skin

Stimulation of renewed epidermal growth from the basal layer due to removal of the stratum corneum. The epidermis thickens plus there is dispersion of melanin granules, imparting a uniform & smoother look to your skin.
The newer epidermal cell layers are more normal.
There is a reflex induction of collagen & glycosaminoglycan formation. Even very superficial or superficial chemical exfoliation can stimulate this response.
The resultant exfoliation can also open blocked sebaceous glands.

Benefits of combining AHAs with BHAs

BHAs extend the duration of AHAs exfoliative action. Combining these in a skin care product improves the benefits of each of them.
BHAs are lipid soluble, allowing it to penetrate into the sebaceous glands. AHAs are water soluble and although they can improve mild acne by exfoliative activity, BHAs achieve better exfoliation of blocked sebaceous glands.

Medique Peels are designed for individuals with

Acne or Oily Skin.
Drab Skin Tone
Pigmented & Discoloured Skin
Fine lines & Wrinkles
