"Latox(Laser Botox)", a more natural and permanent alternative to Botox

LASER Botox :  “Latox”

Many people stayed away from Botox for years because of very idea of injecting toxin to treat wrinkles didn't appeal to them.   Botox paralyzes your muscle temporarily, so you cannot move it to make expressions.  That also explains the unnatural look post Botox treatment. 

Instead of poisoning your muscle, we can now make your muscle to shrink instantaneously using latest Laser Technology.  The result is more permanent as the treatment will further shrink the muscle for next several months contrary to Botox, whose result will fade away as the toxin loses its potency with time.

We will cause the real time shrinkage of muscle, as Plastic Surgeons would try to create the same effect with electric shock to the same area during Face Lift Surgery.

*See Video Below

It will shrink the muscle that creates “Thinking-Line”, “Crows- Feet” and “Forehead Lines”.  It will even shrink the muscle on jowl line to correct “Square Jaw Line” to give you more desirable v-line on lower half of the face.

The cost of this Laser Botox, “Latox(pronounced lei:tox)” is similar to that of Botox Injections.  But since the shrinkage is more permanent, you’d need less treatment to achieve the same result.  It would also help generate more collagen so your overall texture of the skin will improve at the same time.

Just like Botox Injection, it will only require “topical anesthesia cream” to numb the area to lessen any discomfort during the procedure.  It is a 30 minute procedure including numbing. 

Bruise is a very common side effect with Botox Injection.  But you will be able to go back to work on the same day without any bruises when you get the Latox treatment.

So call for your Latox appointment today.

How does CO2 Laser work?

Is Laser Mole/ Pigmentation Removal Treatment Right For You?

There are certain types of moles which are responsive to laser mole removal treatment. Moles that are small, new or even flat will be able to be removed by this procedure. For older moles or large ones, laser mole removal may not prove to be very effective and some other means would have to be adopted.

Your dermatologist would be able to advise you on the right course of action for treating them.

How The CO2 Laser Works

Standard mole removal laser treatment works by breaking up the darker pigments of the mole into smaller fragments. These fragments are then absorbed by the body.

The mole removal laser used in the procedure is a CO2 laser. This is a hand held device that directs the laser beam on to the affected area. The laser pulses hundreds of times a second, thereby preventing heat damage to the skin and avoids heavy scarring. After the laser treatment is performed, the mole is slowly peeled off.

There will be no bleeding as the heat of the laser will seal off the blood vessels. The beam pierces the pigment of the mole and causes the cells or tissues to heat up. This causes the mole to break apart.

Treatment Before And After

Depending on the size of the mole, the doctor will decide on the type of anesthetic to be employed during the laser mole removal treatment. If the mole is small, they may not use a local anesthetic. For larger moles, the doctor may opt for general anaesthesia.

After the laser mole removal procedure takes place, the area normally becomes red or darkens and scabs will begin to form. These scabs will begin to fall off after a few weeks and the tissues will start to heal after several days. In most cases, there will be minimal to no scarring, with only a minor skin irritation being felt.

It is advisable to protect the treated area from sunlight by using a sun protective lotion or bandage. If you have to go out, see that you are adequately protected from the sun. Care should also be taken to keep the area clean to ensure that it does not become infected.

Benefits Of CO2 Laser

• Anaesthesia is not required for laser treatment in most cases. The patient need not worry about injections or needles as they would with surgical with mole removal

• The procedure needs no hospitalization as it is an outpatient technique. There is little or no pain. At most the patient would feel a tingling in the area. The sensation is like a rubber band snapping against your skin.

• There is little and in some cases, no discoloration of the treated area. Scars,if any, are barely visible.

• The results of the laser treatment can be seen immediately. Patients say that nearly 70% of the mole has gone and the mole disappears totally within three to four months.

• Moles on any part of the body can be removed by laser treatment.

How Does IPL Work?

How does IPL work?

• The intense pulsed light emits wavelengths that are absorbed by vascular and pigmented lesions in multiple levels of the skin. When the broad band light is absorbed by melanin (brown spots) and oxy-hemoglobin (veins / red spots), the lesions are gently heated and destroyed.

Skin Rejuvenation:

•         Over time, natural skin aging and exposure to UV radiation from the sun make superficial blood vessels visible and cause the skin to produce pockets of irregular pigmentation. Our IPL uses interchangeable filters that selectively block out unwanted UV and blue radiation, safely delivering broadband light to target chromophores (melanin and hemoglobin) to treat conditions such as:

  • Facial telangiectasias
  • Flushing and redness
  • Rosacea
  • Poikiloderma (red neck)
  • Redness following laser skin resurfacing
  • Age spots and liver spots
  • Pigmented lesions (brown spots)
  • Scar coloration and general skin elasticity

  Light is applied to the treatment area using a 10x20mm sapphire wave  guide that can be fired every two seconds, allowing for treatment of large areas, such as whole faces, hands, necks and décolleté, shoulders and backs. Treating large areas not only addresses specific problem areas, but also results in an overall improvement in skin texture, tone, pore size and collateral collagen building.

  Treatments, which typically are provided in a series of sessions at two-week intervals, are painless. Patients can resume normal activities immediately. To maintain long-lasting improvement, follow-up care may include bi-annual maintenance sessions.

  
  

  What areas can be treated?

  • The Prolite II skin rejuvenation procedure can be performed on the face, neck, decollete (chest), hands, and shoulders.

  
  

  How long does the procedure take?

  • It depends on the area being treated. It typically takes 20 minutes to treat the entire face.

  
  

  
  

  Is it painful?

  • Anesthesia is not required for the IPL (intense pulsed light) treatment and is well tolerated. Some compare the sensation to a hot rubber band snap.

  
  

  
  

  Is it safe?

  • Complications are rare. In less than 1% of cases, skin lightning or darkening may occur. It is advisable to wear sun block when in the sun during the month following the IPL treatment.

  
  

  
  

  How many treatments are required?

  • It is recommended to have a series of 4 to 6 treatments in 2 to 4 week intervals. Single maintenance treatments every 6 months helps to retain optimal results.

  
  

  
  

  What results can I expect?

  • Visible signs of aging and sun damage will be significantly reduced. There is an overall improvement in skin texture and tone.

  
  

  Is it permanent?

  • Yes, but skin continues to age with time. A good skin regimen will help slow the appearance of aging skin and sun damage.

  
  

  Are there any side effects?

  • The vascular and pigmented lesions will be darker in appearance for 5 to 7 days.

  
  

  Can I still wear make-up?

  • Yes, you can apply make-up 24 hours after the IPL treatment.

How Does Thermage Work?

How Does Thermage Work?

• Thermage technology uses radiofrequency energy to tighten skin that has lost its elasticity due to aging, sun exposure, and genetics. The skin is comprised of the outer layer (epidermis) which is the superficial layer that tans or burns, and a deeper layer (dermis) where the collagen and elastin give the skin its structural integrity. As we get older, the collagen in the dermal layer loses its organized pattern and becomes less abundant. Thermage works in a manner similar to shrink-wrapping.  A cooling phase protects the epidermis, then a short pulse of heat is delivered to the dermal collagen, followed by a cooling phase to keep the heat in the dermis. Thermage gives an instant, subtle improvement due to the immediate contracture of the existing collagen in the dermis. This initial result progressively improves over a period of two to three months as the body makes more collagen in response to the initial Thermage treatment. The results from a single treatment will last for years. 

• What is the Thermage procedure?

• • Thermage is a non-invasive therapy that delivers tighter skin, renewed facial contours, and healthier collagen. Sometimes referred to as the non-surgical facelift. Thermage procedure uses a patented radio-frequency (RF) technology. Thermage has been clinically proven to tighten as well as gently lift the skin to smooth out wrinkles along with renew facial and neck contours. The incision-free procedure is fast and easy, plus it requires no downtime from normal activities.
  
  
  
  
  What areas can be treated with Thermage?
  • Thermage is used to treat the face, neck, eyelids, abdomen and hands. Each area requires different treatment tips, designed specifically for the region being treated.
                                    
                                          * Six specific regions of the body are treated with Thermage using site specific technology. *

  • With a one time comfortable treatment that requires no downtime. Thermage is able to improve the appearance of cellulite, tightening, outline of the legs, as well as buttocks.
  ​
  How does Thermage work?
  • ​Thermage system uses a sophisticated treatment tip, which delivers a controlled amount of RF energy. With each touch to the skin, the Thermage treatment tip device uniformly heats a large volume of collagen in the deeper layers of the skin and its underlying tissue while simultaneously protecting the outer layer of the skin with cooling. This deep uniform heating action causes deep structures in your skin to immediately tighten. Over time, new and remodeled collagen is produced to further tighten skin, resulting in healthier, smoother skin and a youthful appearance.
  
  
  Who is the ideal candidate for Thermage?
  • The ideal candidate for this skin tightening with Thermage is a person with mild laxity of skin who is not yet a facelift candidate. These patients can consider using Thermage every three to five years to try to put off a more invasive procedure. Thermage should not be done in place of a face lift. Sometimes it is done to supplement the effects of a facelift.
  
  
  What does the Thermage procedure feel like and how long does it take?
  • With each touch of the tip, you will experience a brief, deep heating sensation as the RF energy is delivered to your skin and underlying tissue. This deep heating sensation is your indication that your collagen is reaching effective temperatures for tightening. Your doctor controls the amount of energy delivered to balance procedural comfort with maximum results. The tip is cooled before, during, and after heating to protect your skin and make the treatment more comfortable. The Thermage procedure can take anywhere from thirty minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area. Pre-treatment with topical anesthesia may be required as well.
  
  
  What happens during the procedure?
  • Initially your face will be cleansed to remove any residual oils. A topical anesthetic may be applied depending on the specific treatment. We then take preoperative photos and then draw various markings on your skin to indicate which areas might need additional tightening. Much like making alterations to an article of clothing, the Thermage treatment is customized to provide the most benefit for each individual patient. A special pad will be placed on your back. This pad completes the "circuit" for the RF energy. You will lie on a comfortable table and a paper transfer will be used to place a "grid" on the areas of your face to be treated. This grid ensures complete and uniform treatment and assists in the customizing of the treatment. Some areas will require more "passes" of the thermatip™ than others to achieve the desired results.
  • During the treatment you will be asked to provide feedback on the level of heating you feel from the RF pulses. This feedback allows the best selection of RF energy levels to be used and makes certain you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. Once the treatment is completed, the grid is removed.
  
  
  What will my skin feel like after the Thermage procedure?
  • Immediately following a Thermage procedure, your skin should feel tighter, smoother and youthful. Overtime, you will notice additional tightening.
  
  
  When will I see results and how long will the effects of the Thermage procedure last?
  • Recently published studies conducted by Thermage show that measurable tightening improvements appear gradually over 2 to 6 months after a single treatment session. The Thermage procedure causes immediate tightening of the collagen structure, with additional tightening over time. It is expected that results last for years.
  
  
  Is the Thermage procedure safe?
  • The Thermage procedure has an excellent safety record. With over 190,000 estimated worldwide patient treatments to date the reported incidence of side effects is less than .4%, and these were minor. The most frequently reported incidents are classified as swelling, redness, bumps and blisters on or around the treated area. These side effects have usually disappeared in a few days or weeks.
  
  
  How long before I can return to my normal activities after Thermage?
  • Most people return to their regular activities immediately following the Thermage procedure. Some people experience mild redness (like a sunburn), but it usually disappears quickly. No special care is needed after Thermage treatment unless otherwise instructed by your physician.
  
  
  Can you use Thermage in combination with other procedures?
  • Yes, most definitely. Thermage is often used in combination with other procedures such as Fraxel or Intense Pulsed Light, if other signs of skin aging are present such as sun spots.
  
  
  Are there different Thermage devices?
  • Yes. The most recent device to be released is named Thermage NXT. It is important to ask the physician if they will be using this to confirm you are being treated with the most advanced technology available today.

FDA approved, non- invasive cosmetic procedure with no downtime that is clinically proven to tighten, contour, lift and rejuvenate the skin in a single treatment by reshaping your skin’s innermost structures. Immediate results are usually
visible and they continue to improve for six months. Thermage is used to tighten skin on various areas of the face and body.

                                                      

IPL

Our system is designed for Type photorejuvenation, which can help minimize
signs of aging. The Prolite II works by deliveringcarefully controlled, variable
wavelength light pulses to the dermis, and can be used to safely treat areas on
the face, neck, décolleté, and hands.
Light is applied to the treatment area using a 10x20mm sapphire waveguide that can be fired every two seconds, allowing for treatment of large areas, such as whole faces, hands, necks and décolleté, shoulders and backs. Treating large areas not only addresses specific problem areas, but also results in an overall improvement in skin texture, tone, pore size and collateral collagen building.
Treatments, which typically are provided in a series of sessions at two week
intervals, are painless. Patients can resume normal activities immediately. To maintain long-lasting improvement, follow-up care may include bi-annual maintenance sessions.
