The Younger Games : Anti-Aging Tips
For those of you looking for natural or dramatic results, Australia’s leading plastic surgeon, Dr. Anh, reveals the best in-clinic treatments for turning back time.
The Concern: Frown Lines
The Fix: Botox
Anti-wrinkle injections are also known as muscle relaxers (or relaxants). These are used to relax the muscles that cause wrinkles in unwanted areas when you look angry or smile. Popular areas for treatment include crow’s feet, between the brows, nasolabial folds, forehead wrinkles and fine lines under or surrounding the eye.
The Concern: Fine Lines
The Fix: CO2 Laser
CO2 laser technology used with dot therapy has the ability to improve acne scarring, and reduce sun damage, fine lines and pigmentation of the skin. This treatment also creates long-lasting results for patients who care for their skin on a daily basis.
The Concern: Texture and Tone
The Fix: PRP or the “Vampire Facial”
Platelet rich plasma contains growth factors that can help stimulate cell repair and improve the health of your skin tissue. During this procedure we will extract plasma from your body and put it through a treatment process called a centrifuge to separate the platelet rich plasma from your blood and other tissue which is not necessary for the procedure. It can be used to improve facial appearance including damaged and aged skin, improved jaw line, sagging skin such as around the neck or on the face and improving the décolletage which can become wrinkled.
The Concern: Sagging Skin
The Fix: Thermage
Thermage, or “pilates for the skin”, is a skin and soft tissue tightening device that uses radiofrequency technology to stimulate collagen, to tighten, lift and contour the face and neck, to treat mild cellulite, to firm and tighten loose skin of the arms, thighs and abdomen.
The Concern: Loss of Volume
The Fix: Dermal Fillers
One of the main signs of aging is volume depletion in the skin, especially around the eyes, temples, mouth and in the cheeks, along with fine lines and wrinkles. Fillers can be used to soften wrinkles, lines, scars and restore or enhance volume to flat volume-depleted areas due to ageing, instantly plump lines and creases in the face, giving your appearance a youthful vitality, and give ageing lips much needed volume.
