The Key to Youthful Skin

As we age, our skin loses its natural elasticity and firmness, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging. The culprit? Collagen - or rather, the lack of it.

Collagen is a protein that gives our skin its structure and elasticity, keeping it smooth and plump. However, as we age, our body’s natural production of collagen slows down, leading to a loss of collagen in the skin. Other factors such as exposure to UV radiation, smoking, and a poor diet can also contribute to collagen loss and premature aging of the skin. But fear not, there are ways to slow down.

The non-surgical aesthetics industry has been one of the fastest-growing industries over the past few decades. With advancements in technology and a growing demand for minimally invasive options, the industry has expanded to offer a broad range of nonsurgical treatments, such as injectables, laser therapies, and skin rejuvenation procedures. The industry has become more accessible, with a greater number of providers offering non-surgical aesthetic services at affordable prices.

Microneedling

One of the popular nonsurgical treatments that Pamela recommends to her clients is microneedling. Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves creating tiny, controlled injuries to the skin using a device called a dermaroller or a microneedling pen. The goal of microneedling is to stimulate the skin’s natural healing response, leading to the production of new collagen and elastin fibers, which can improve the skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance. When the microneedling device creates tiny punctures in the skin, it triggers the body’s natural healing response. The skin recognises these punctures as a wound and begins to repair itself by producing new collagen and elastin fibers.

Microneedling is a safe and effective way to stimulate the skin’s natural healing response and improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and other skin imperfections. In a clinical study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, researchers found that after a single RF microneedling treatment, there was a 37% increase in collagen production in the skin. In another study published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, researchers found that after three RF microneedling treatments, there was a 160% increase in collagen production in the skin. However, collagen production takes time, and results from RF microneedling may not be immediately visible.

Tweakments

In recent years, more people are seeking non-invasive alternatives to traditional surgical procedures, providing a less expensive, less painful, and less risky option for people who want to improve their appearance. Tweakments have become increasingly popular as a term used to describe nonsurgical cosmetic treatments. Tweakments typically involve the use of minimally invasive techniques such as injectables, lasers and other non-surgical treatments.

The goal of tweakments is to provide natural-looking results that improve the appearance of the skin, reduce signs of ageing, and enhance facial features without changing the person’s overall look.

The Pyramid Facelift

A cutting-edge treatment that uses advanced technology to target three tissue layers in just one session, resulting in a more youthful and lifted appearance with minimal downtime. The treatment is delivered using the world-leading Divine Pro system, which has been scientifically proven to provide a range of benefits, including dermal volumisation, skin resurfacing, skin tightening, skin rejuvenation, facial contouring, and reduction of scarring.

The Pyramid Facelift is made possible by the innovative Lipofirm Med platform, which utilises three technologies to rejuvenate the skin: TriFractional Radio Frequency for skin resurfacing, VoluDerm for dermal volumisation, and TroPollar Radio Frequency with Dynamic Muscle Activation (DMA) for skin tightening, lifting, and toning.

The TriFractional RF technology rejuvenates the outer epidermis layer, triggering the body’s natural healing response and removing old and damaged skin cells. The VoluDerm technology uses fine micro-needles and radiofrequency to penetrate the deep dermis layer and stimulate the production of hyaluronic acid, new collagen, and elastin. Finally, the TriPollar with DMA technology generates heat through resistance in both the dermal and subcutaneous layers, causing collagen fibres to contract and resulting in an immediate skin tightening effect. DMA also stimulates the facial muscles, resulting in lifting and toning of the skin.

The Pyramid Facelift is a minimally invasive treatment with long-lasting effects, as it causes collagen fibres to contract with long-term collagen remodelling, resulting in a firmer and tighter appearance of the skin. DMA activates muscles in the lower face, tightening the SMAS layer, which creates a natural facelift result. The technologies above can also be applied separately, tailored to each individual skin condition.
