Cellulite
The Answer
Microbotox, or Meso Botox
The Answer
SmartLipo
What is it?
Microbotox, or Meso Botox, is a new Botox skin rejuvination and face lifting technique by Allergan Inc. It involves the injections of micro doses of
Botox in multiple epidermal blebs. Unlike the conventional Botox injection, Microbotox goes slightly deeper into the facial muscles. The Microbotox helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, creates a more naturally
tightened and lifted face and also aids in the reduction of oil production,
resulting in a smoother and pore-free clear skin. The results of the Microbotox are expected to last 3 months.
What is it?
SmartLipo or laser liposuction is an innovative technique used for minimal invasive liposculpture treatment that is performed in a less traumatic
manner as compared to conventional methods. No surgery is involved
because laser energy liquifies fat rather than the usual suction procedures. Thus, the recovery times of SmartLipo/Laserlipolysis are much faster. Patients can resume work after two days, while it is advisable to avoid
vigourous activity for 1-2 weeks.

strawberry hermagiomas and spider veins are all forms of vascular lesions.

Laser Hair Removal
Facial Contouring
The Answer
CoolGlide Xeo and LightSheer
The Answer
Carboxytherapy
What is it?
Excess and unwanted hair is a common problem for both women and
men, which can be unsightly and embarrassing especially when sited
around the upper lip, in the bikini area, under the arms (armpits) or on
the legs.
What is it?
Carboxytherapy is the new, simple and proven technique that can dramatically remove the appearance of cellulite on your face, chin and neck.
It is a non-surgical method. Carbon dioxide is infiltrated into subcutaneous tissue to rapidly improve the total look and feel of your face.
Today’s advanced solutions for hair removal deliver better results than the
past traditional hair removal treatments. As the laser treats more than one
hair at a time, it is possible to treat larger areas such as the back shoulders,
arms, legs and face. Shaving, plucking, waxing and depilatory creams
provide temporary results that are irritating, time consuming, messy, and
inconvenient.
