Medium-depth peels may be introduced when addressing more persistent concerns such as pigmentation irregularities, acne, or early signs of ageing. More advanced peeling protocols are reserved for specific indications and are performed with careful clinical consideration.\nThis layered approach allows for progressive skin improvement while maintaining skin integrity.\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eWhat conditions are treated with chemical peels?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eChemical peels are used to treat several conditions like oily skin, photodamage, acne scarring, lines and wrinkles, lightening or brightening effect, dull skin and pigmentation.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eWhat can I expect after the peel?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eAll peels require some follow-up care. Superficial peels require one to seven days to heal. Treated skin will initially be red and may scale. Lotion or cream should be applied until the skin heals, followed by daily use of sunscreen. Makeup can usually be worn the next day. Medium and deep peels require 7- 14 days to heal. Treated skin will initially be red and swollen. Swelling worsens for the first 48 hours. Eyelids may swell shut. Blisters may form and break. Skin crusts and peels off in seven to 14 days. Skin must be soaked daily for a specified period, followed by ointment application.

A range of peeling systems is available at different strengths and treatment levels.

The triple-action of RF energy, ultrasound and skin cooling help to deliver controlled heating to target the skin’s deep tissues, addressing deeper wrinkles, sagging skin and jowls, and treating more delicate lines on the superficial skin layer. The Exilis® Elite was granted European CE Mark certification in 2011. It has also been approved by the U.S. FDA and cleared for the non-invasive treatment of dermatologic wrinkles and rhytids. At Aesthetica Skin Centre, only medical trained professionals and aestheticians execute the Exilis® Elite procedures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eWhat are the main effects of the Exilis® Elite?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eThe Exilis® Elite is based on breakthrough technology, safely and effectively delivers thermal energy below the skin’s surface, where collagen is naturally produced. In response to this RF energy, collagen production is promoted, leading to the skin’s rejuvenation and a decrease in drooping jowls, sagging skin, and uneven skin tone. Exilis is predictable and consistent in its results and delivers younger, more vibrant skin after just one non-invasive treatment.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eHow does the treatment feel?

The Green Peel® is a herbal peeling treatment which helps people with various skin problems to get a clean and even skin. The basis is a mixture of eight selected herbs containing enzymes, minerals, and vitamins, which are massaged into the skin. The herbal peeling treatment is medically developed and extended for optimum results. Varying amounts of the herbal plant mixtures allows the Green Peel® herbal peeling treatment to be adapted to individual skin conditions and personal treatment goals. The original Green Peel® herbal peeling treatment is exclusively offered by certified aestheticians and doctors. The natural, original Green Peel® herbal peeling has been a worldwide success for more than 60 years. There are three dermatologically-developed treatment methods for successful problem-solving, namely the Classic, Energy and Fresh-Up systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eWhat is the GREEN PEEL® Classic system? \u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eThe GREEN PEEL® Classic peeling system is a herbal peeling mixture that is intensively massaged into the skin. Blood circulation increases, the supply of oxygen and nutrition is improved, and skin renewal is stimulated. This effect is stopped after two to five days, depending on the skin texture with a more or less strong peeling process of the skin. During this time, the skin needs to be treated at home with special Dr Schrammek skincare products. To conclude the GREEN PEEL® Herbal Peeling Treatment Classic, the aesthetician performs a beauty finishing treatment after five days and nourishes the now particularly receptive skin with valuable ingredients.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eWhat is the GREEN PEEL® Energy system? \u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eThis treatment with natural herbs noticeably provides energy. It stimulates blood circulation and metabolism and thus leads to a natural improvement of the skin texture without any peeling effect. GREEN PEEL® Energy provides your skin with the natural energy it needs to renew the cells. It helps to reduce age-related skin appearances as well as impurities, scarring and pigment disorders. The treatment visibly improves the skin’s appearance and harmonizes its surface. It works ideally as repeated, intensive salon treatment several times a year.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eWhat is the GREEN PEEL® Fresh-UP system? \u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eWith this method, there is also no peeling effect. Instead, the skin is stimulated and refreshed with natural herbs. Blood circulation is stimulated, pores open, and the skin is now able to optimally absorb the ingredients of the subsequent skincare. The complexion appears brighter and fresher. GREEN PEEL® Fresh-Up vitalizes the cells, and your skin glows with a new freshness. This is why this treatment is the ideal problem solver for tired skin without freshness and serves as an effective prevention helper against premature ageing and loss of elasticity - even if your skin hasn’t started showing the signs of age yet.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eWhat conditions are treated with the GREEN PEEL® herbal peeling systems? \u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eLarge-pored seborrheic skin; impure skin; sebum cysts; scars; skin prone to premature formation of wrinkles with sagging facial contours; sun-damaged skin; anti-Aging prophylaxis; some forms of hyperpigmentations; stretch marks (striae); sagging skin on the body (abdominal wall, upper arms, thighs).\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eCan the Green Peel® be performed during summertime? \u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eYes. Our GREEN PEEL® Herbal Peeling treatment is performed in more than 50 countries, amongst others in South Africa where the sun is shining almost all year long. A GREEN PEEL® treatment can be done at any season. However, intensive sunbathing should initially be avoided after a GREEN PEEL® Classic treatment, as the rejuvenated, fresh skin is susceptible to sunlight.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eIs a GREEN PEEL® treatment painful? \u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eThere exist 3 methods of the GREEN PEEL® Herbal Peeling: Fresh up, Energy and Classic. During all three methods, our GREEN PEEL® Herbs are massaged into the skin. Depending on massage pressure and consistency of the skin, this can involve sparkling and prickling, but no pain. At the utmost, the herbal massage can be slightly uncomfortable. The main difference between the stronger method, our GREEN PEEL® Classic and the 2 softer methods are pressure and duration of the massage. This can’t be considered a wellness treatment, but it is well bearable.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eWhat’s the difference between GREEN PEEL® and fruit acid peels \/ micro-needling? \u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eOur Original GREEN PEEL® Herbal Peeling is based on a medically refined and worldwide proven biological method, on a purely natural basis. It is safe and can be used with almost any skin type. GREEN PEEL® does not need machines and successfully solves various skin problems. The fruit acid peeling, however, is a chemical peeling, which is based on milk-, lemon-, apple- or wine-acid. A fruit acid peeling is preferable done in low-sunlight months, as during the summer months there has to be paid a lot of attention to sun exposure. This kind of peeling requires 8-10 sessions in weekly intervals before showing visible results. Micro-needling is a relatively new instrument for treating aesthetic skin problems. Here the skin is injured with numerous small needles to stimulate its self-regeneration. Additionally, active ingredients are transfected into the skin. Some skin problems, such as scars, wrinkles, stretch marks can be improved by micro-needling.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eDoes a GREEN PEEL® treatment cause my skin to be thinner and more sensitive? \u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eNo. After a GREEN PEEL® treatment, the skin is young and fresh. Of course, this skin needs special attention. With every GREEN PEEL®, your skin becomes stronger, firmer and resistant. Metabolism is activated, microcirculation, as well as the interlocking of skin layers, is improved. This, in turn, results in the skin receiving more oxygen and nutrients. The connective tissue fibres (collagenous and elastic fibres) are activated, and metabolic wastes wicked away.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eWhich one is the right treatment for me?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eGREEN PEEL® Fresh Up (without skin peeling) is suitable for: pigmentation disorders, tired, pale skin and for general dissatisfaction with a skin condition. GREEN PEEL® Energy (without skin peeling) is suitable for: age-related skin conditions, impurities, pale skin, scars and pigmentation disorders. GREEN PEEL® Classic (with skin peeling) is suitable for: large-pored skin, impure skin, scars, premature wrinkle formation, sun-damaged skin, hyperpigmentation**, stretch marks and sagging body skin.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #cccccc;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReferences:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #cccccc;\"\u003eDymott, M.

It is the combination of two methods previously used individually for different skin conditions. In particular, Fractionated RF Needling is effective for the improvement in acne and acne scars, skin rejuvenation as well as fine lines and wrinkles on the face. This treatment is also ideal for bodily skin sagging. Fractionated RF Needling is a safe treatment for all skin types, and the treatment has minimal downtime and fewer complications.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eHow does Fractionated RF Needling work?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eThe technology uses tissue resistance within various layers of the skin to transform RF energy into thermal energy and thereby stimulates new collagen production. Microneedling has been used for many years for skin rejuvenation. The fine needles cause direct trauma to the skin as the needles penetrate the skin. This initiates a repair process that stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen. Also, the needles create channels that allow for direct delivery of products applied to the skin for optimum results. Radiofrequency combined with microneedling enhance the results that could be achieved with either procedure alone. The combination technology generates fractional radiofrequency coagulation of dermal collagen and results in immediate collagen contraction. It further stimulates a natural healing response, leading to the replacement of damaged connective tissue with new healthier, and glowing skin.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eHow many sessions are needed for optimum results?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eWe recommend 3-6 sessions every 4 weeks.

After that, this will be removed from the area being treated. Your Aesthetician will determine the correct setting accordingly to each individual’s needs. The treatment duration is 15-20 min, depending on the area. During the procedure, you will feel a slight sensation of heat. This is due to the heat of the radio frequency. Some clients may experience a small needle prick sensation due to the gold plated needles. There are different needle depths and sizes for client individual needs.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eWhy is Fractionated RF Needling so unique?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eThe research suggests that radiofrequency has some advantages over other lasers when treating the skin. Fractional lasers were often used to treat acne and acne scarring. However, a limitation in treating acne scarring with fractional lasers has been the risk of hyperpigmentation, particularly in darker Fitzpatrick skin types. The advantage of radiofrequency is that the energy is not absorbed by melanin, which decreases the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and the heat can be delivered by the needles at precise depths. This makes fractionated RF an alternative modality for treating acne scarring and many other skin conditions. Another significant advantage of this technology over ablative laser resurfacing is that the needle depth is adjustable to treat various areas successfully. Factional radiofrequency treat is mild to moderate laxity of the lower face and neck with remarkable improvement in neck wrinkles after the procedure. It is found that the same results are challenging to obtain with laser resurfacing due to the risk of scarring in non-facial tissue.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eIs the procedure painful afterwards?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eThere is minimal discomfort after the procedure is completed. Most patients have some mild erythema and oedema for 1–3 days. Bruising can occasionally occur with the deeper needle insertions. The use of insulated needles should eliminate the need for topical cooling during the treatments since it bypasses the epidermis.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eWhich procedure is ideal to do in combination with Fractionated RF Needling?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eAt Aesthetica, we combine the therapy with the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) procedure to improve results as the plasma cells can penetrate the microneedle channels.

The elos technology by Syneron is the first and only technology that uses combined energies to stimulate collagen production effectively and to improve your overall skin quality in most telling areas when it comes ageing such as the eyes, brow lines, cheeks and around the neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eWhen can I expect to see results?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e\nMost clients will see an immediate improvement in skin tone and texture, contouring the jawline with visible softening lines and wrinkles. A course of 3 to 6 treatment procedures are recommended with a gradual and cumulative result throughout their Sublime treatment course. It is important to remember the number of procedures required depends on your skin’s condition.\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eDoes the procedure it hurt?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e\nSublime is a gentle, pain-free, relaxing treatment requiring only twenty minutes of your time. We find most of our patients return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure. Cooling of the skin’s surface provides enhanced safety and additional comfort.\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eHow do I know if I need the Sublime Wrinkle Procedure?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e\nIf you suffer from loose, sagging and wrinkled skin on your jowls, neck, cheeks, and forehead, then the Sublime Wrinkle Procedure would be a good tissue tightening option. Besides, lax skin on the eyelids, a heavy brow, or upper eyelid drooping, as well as loose abdominal skin, upper arm skin, or lax buttocks or thighs may benefit from this unique procedure. It is often noted that our patients with superficial acne scars, rough skin texture, and mild to moderate superficial wrinkles also improve from this laser procedure.\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eWhat benefits can I expect?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e\nWe find that most patients see a definite but modest to moderate improvement in the treated area. For facial procedures, you can expect that the skin at the jawline is tightened, the cheek area is toned, and the neck is firmer. The softer lines and wrinkles will also be improved. This laser treatment will leave you with a smoother and more uniform complexion. We do however suggest a minimum of 3 treatments at monthly intervals. A follow-up visit 6 months post-treatment, and maintenance treatments are generally recommended every 6 months.\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eHow will I look during and after the procedure?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e\nSublime may be mildly uncomfortable during treatment, but this should not persist after treatment. This is a no-downtime treatment, and you should be able to return to your activities and work the same day. It is important to remember that your skin may appear slightly red after the procedure, but makeup and\/or a tinted sunscreen may be applied immediately. The redness and swelling should disperse within a few hours.  \n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #cccccc;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReferences:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #cccccc;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eGorgu et al.

Dark circles under the eyes are usually caused by poor circulation, which creates vascular pooling. Injecting the gas under the eyelid reduces this bluish pooling and replaces it with a pink tone. Alopecia (hair loss) caused by poor circulation can also be treated with carboxytherapy. People who undergo carboxytherapy find an improvement in circulation, skin elasticity and fine lines.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eHow does carboxytherapy work for dark undereye circles?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eOne major cause of dark under-eye circles is vascular pooling. The capillary network of the lower eyelids can become congested for a variety of reasons. Typically, the tears drain from the eyelids into the nose. Still, if there is some obstruction due to chronic nasal congestion from seasonal allergies, previous nasal fracture, or a deviated septum, the drainage doesn’t function well, and the blood flow to the lower eyelids becomes sluggish, giving rise to the boggy blue tinge known casually as “allergic shiners.” The lack of appropriate oxygenation to the lower eyelid skin allows the bluish cast to show through the thin skin of the eyelids. Carboxytherapy works to improve the lower eyelids’ capillary network and increase the dermal collagen layer in the softer eyelid skin. By injecting a small amount of carbon dioxide gas into the affected areas, blood flow increases and improves capillary networks giving a circulatory benefit. As a result, the bluish cast is replaced with a healthy pink tone. Once a series of treatments is completed, the skin has a more luminous appearance that lasts approximately six months.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eHow is the carboxytherapy treatment administered?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eThere is a tank of carbon dioxide gas that is connected by plastic tubing to a flow-regulator. The flow-regulator slows down the speed of the gas according to the rate selected by the aesthetic professional. The gas emerges from the flow-regulator into sterile tubing with a filter connected at the exit to remove any trace impurities before the gas is run through a tiny needle attached to the opposite side of the filter. The pure gas is now ready to be injected beneath the skin via a small needle.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eWhat does carboxytherapy feel like?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eWhen treating the eyelids, the lower eyelids will feel puffy, but that will subside once the gas is absorbed over the next five to ten minutes. The treated areas will feel warm and tingly for up to 24 hours after the treatment as the circulation to the site is improved.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eHow many treatments will I need?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eThis depends upon the severity of the problem being treated. Usually, six to twelve treatments spaced one week apart yields an excellent result. However, we do recommend that carboxytherapy remain a monthly beauty routine.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eAre there any side effects associated with carboxytherapy?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eThe only real possible side effect of carboxytherapy is the potential for a bruise at the injection site. Usually, the eyelids can be treated without leaving any marks, making it a truly “no-downtime” procedure.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eAre there any risks associated with carboxytherapy?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eThere are no known risks associated with carboxytherapy. Carbon dioxide injections have been safely used for years to facilitate endoscopic surgeries of the abdomen. Carbon dioxide is also injected directly into the bloodstream by invasive cardiologists for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
