Similarly, these processes of aging can occur in the vaginal tissues – elasticity and collagen levels drop too, the areas inside and around the vagina become more softened and relaxed and this process is sped up further by the natural trauma and pressures of childbirth on these surrounding structures.

Laser vaginal tightening using Micro Fractional CO2 laser is a vaginal rejuvenating procedure, it leads to a tighter and structurally better supported vaginal canal. This is the latest in safe and well researched technical advancement in the medical field. The laser will cause the supporting tissue around the vagina to induce collagen regeneration in the vaginal mucosa, strengthen the vaginal walls and narrow (tighten) the diameter of the vaginal cavity. With time the collagen keeps on remodeling and adapting to the new state of the walls. This is why the improvement of sensation increases over the following 8- 9 months.

How long is the procedure and is it painful?

The procedure can be completed within +/- 45 minutes and is not painful – no cutting involved – non-surgical. Patients experience a warmth in the area as the laser is released – this is not painful and there is no bleeding. Patients can go back to work/normal life straight after the procedure.

How many treatments are required?

The number of treatments depends on the condition of the vaginal walls. In most cases 1 – 2 might be required. All information and the number of required sessions will be discussed during the in-depth consultation with the doctor.

Surgical Facelift:

A facelift is a surgical method that removes excess facial skin to make the face appear younger. It targets a three dimensional sculpting of sagging skin and muscles of the face. Also aids removal of jowls leaving a more pleasing and youthful appearance to the face. This surgery may be combined with neck, eyelid surgery, forehead lift, chemical peels and Laser surgery. The modern face lift incorporates three dimensional enhancement of volume lost in various parts of the face as a result of aging.

We believe in giving a “natural look” facelift rather than a “windblown” appearance. In carefully selected patients, a short scar facelift can be applied. This procedure is performed through an incision concealed within the ear skin creases and cartilaginous convolutions. Facial rejuvenation procedure consists of a large number of plastic surgery techniques and maneuvers carefully selected and adapted to a specific patient’s requirements. These techniques can be employed to refresh faces of patients as early as their late 30’s and up to severe aging changes seen in patients in their 80’s.

The best way to guess a person’s age is to look at their hands, not at their face. Although an effective skincare regimen and facial cosmetic procedures might help you look years younger than you really are, the wrinkly skin, prominent veins, and dark spots on the back of your hands might be telling a different story.

Our hands display visible changes as we age. As the epidermis thins, and collagen and elastin production decreases, the appearance of the tender skin on the back of our hand’s changes. The skin becomes lax and thin, and the underlying tendons, veins, and bones, called metacarpals, become visible. The culprits? External and internal factors, such as genetics, the environment, and your health, all contribute to aging hands. Even frequent exposure to chemicals can cause more rapid aging of the hands.

Sun exposure can make your hands look older faster, but the bigger problem is volume loss. Once the fat layer is depleted, the only option is to replace it.

Thankfully, new techniques in hand rejuvenation now allow dermatologists to treat these signs of aging. The peels, lasers, dermal fillers, and even fat grafting procedures that are used by medical practitioners to erase sunspots and replace lost volume in the face is now commonly being used to rejuvenate the hands as well.

Here at Appleskin, we look at the complete hand rejuvenation process, where we start with the top layer and remove brown spots, which may be freckling, lentigo (brown patches or spots), or seborrheic keratosis (skin barnacles), with a combination of peels, intense pulsed light, and sometimes a laser. Lasers are considered the gold standard when it comes to treating sun spots. In addition to removing brown patches and moles, clinical evidence has shown that regular treatments with intense pulse light (IPL) activate genes that make the skin more youthful, stimulating collagen and elastin production.

Next step is to restore the volume. Here, FDA approved dermal fillers are used. This injectable is made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in an aqueous gel carrier, which is broken down and absorbed by the body over time. The plumping effects are instant and typically last a year. The procedure has the added benefit of generating collagen, which can help reduce the amount of filler you need for subsequent treatments. The amount needed depends on the size and appearance of the hand, but most of her patients require two syringes per hand and a few drops for the fingertips.

At the heart of any effective anti-aging routine is a good retinoid. Anything you use on your face, you can also use on your hands. In addition to a retinoid, look for products with collagen-promoting ingredients, such as Vitamin C and copper peptides.

Neck Rejuvenation (Décolleté):

With aging comes fat and collagen loss around the neck that can lead to permanent wrinkles, sun damaged skin, and prominent neck bands. Sun damage, together with prolonged perfume, the application is the most profound factor in the development of aging of the neck. Signs of an aging neck are horizontal wrinkles, actinic bronzing (permanently bronzed skin), reddened skin (poikiloderma), age spots, and the development of vertical neck bands, loose sagging skin, loss of a good sharp neck angle and the development of a double chin or turkey neck. Fine textural lines scattered over the surface are partly due to the loss of collagen's integrity. Finally, there is laxity from the loss of elastic fibers.

A combination of treatments such as Botox, Dermal Fillers and Lasers can be used for complete rejuvenation as these treatments can be used to lift wrinkles, fine lines and tighten the skin.

Nefertiti lift: a non-invasive procedure that promises the same youthful jawline
as the Egyptian queen.

The muscles of the face each perform a different function — some lift up and some pull down. The Nefertiti lift works by using Botox to relax some of those bands plus the muscles that pull the corners of the mouth downwards. Botox will re-contour the jawline, accentuate cheekbones and recreate the face a woman had when she was young.

If the neck area is sagging or causing a turkey neck appearance, or if you have shallow horizontal lines across your neck, Botox can be injected into the platysmal bands to help smoothen and tighten these areas to reveal a more youthful neck. When injected into fine lines across the neck, Botox behaves the same way it would if injected into crow’s feet or forehead lines; the muscle is relaxed, smoothing the lines caused by those muscles.

For those deeper necklines, we can use dermal fillers. These fill in the lines, revealing a smoother area. By injecting fillers along the jawline and in front and below the ear, it can lift the skin a couple of millimeters making it appear tighter.

The procedure isn’t painful and an as most of the fillers nowadays have lidocaine, an anesthetic.

For the needle-phobic, a technique using radio waves or lasers can be used to tighten loose or sagging skin. They work by heating up the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and plumping it up — some patients say they see results for up to two years after.

They include:

• In-office procedures such as a chemical peel and microder­mabrasion, which slough off the top layers of the skin, have been noticed to be highly effective in reducing the appearance of melasma.
•  Laser treatments are also used to treat melasma. Multiple treatments are required in order to see dramatic results. Like any Melasma treatment, it is best to continue a daily sunscreen regimen prescribed by your dermatologist to ensure best results.
• Hydroquinone: Available in a cream, lotion, gel or liquid, this medication works by lightening the skin. Hydroquinone can be found in over-the-counter preparations, but higher strength versions can only be obtained through a doctor’s prescription.
• Tretinoin and corticosteroids: These medications enhance the skin lightening process when added to hydroquinone. Some contain three compounds—hydroquinone, tretinoin and a corticosteroid—which are then called a ” triple cream.”
• Other topical medications: Also applied to the skin, these may include the skin-lighteners azelaic acid or kojic acid.

Ways to prevent Melasma formation:

No melasma treatment offers permanent results, so it is recommended to opt for maintenance therapy that can prevent melasma from coming back.

Certain tactics can also help avoid melasma from developing in the first place.

These include:

• Daily sunscreen use. Since sunlight is one of the biggest triggers for melasma, daily sunscreen use is non-negotiable to keep it at bay. Choose a sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection with an SPF of 30 or higher.
•  Outdoor hats. Broad-brimmed hats help keep rays off vulnerable parts of the face. Seek shade whenever outdoors, as well.
•  Gentle skin care. Since products that irritate the skin exacerbate melasma, use gentle products that don’t sting or burn.

Stretch marks can be visible on body parts including the tummy, thighs, hips, breasts, upper arms, and lower back. This type of scarring happens when the skin cannot bounce back after pregnancy, weight gain, or extreme weight loss. Apart from these reasons, corticosteroid creams, lotions, and pills can also cause stretch marks by decreasing the skin’s ability to stretch.

Treatment Options:

• Chemical Peels
• Lasers
• Dermarollers
• Subscission
• PRP
• Microdermabrasion
• Body Contouring

It is normal to shed some hair each day as part of the hair cycle. However, some people may experience more than normal hair loss. Alopecia –a condition of baldness, affects both men and women. Around 25% of men start balding at 30 years of age. Alopecia results from poor circulation, nutritional imbalances, end of the growth cycle and the excess of a hormone known as DHT (dihydrotestosterone).

Causes of Hair Loss:

1. Lack of Oiling (Scalp conditioning)
2. Dandruff
3. Mineral deficiencies
4. Keratin deficiencies
5. Hormonal imbalances
6. Stress
7. Viral fevers
8. Medication
9. Birth control pills
10. Anaemia

Hair breakage is different from hair loss. Reasons for hair breakage could be low protein, over usage of chemicals or left over hair products on the hair, sun damage, combing wet hair, using too tight or synthetic band to tie hair or even using an uneven bristle comb. For most of the issues, the hair grows back or the loss can be reversed with medical treatments. But is it important to see a doctor is there seems to be something wrong, because the sooner treatment is started, the better the chances are for improving your crowning glory.

There are various treatment options available:

1. Topical Applications
2. Nutritional Supplements
3. Laser Therapy
4. Dermaroller
5. Mesotherapy
6. Stem Cell therapy
7. Hair Transplant

Conditions that can be treated with skin rejuvenation and resurfacing include:

• Static and Dynamic wrinkles (read more (redirect to wrinkles page))
