Age isn't just a number, but it can be!

At Radiance Aesthetic Clinic we offer the following treatments to combat the age old problem of age itself:

1. PRP for face

PRP is a facial rejuvenation treatment that uses your plasma to stimulate collagen production and cell migration, allowing for the elimination of lines, folds, and wrinkles. Results from PRP treatment are very natural-looking and usually last for a few years.

This procedure involves absolutely zero risks. PRP treatment for skin can be done in tandem with Hyaluronic fillers, as these two treatments complete each other to achieve a much younger face.

2. Botox

This cosmetic treatment is an injectable wrinkle muscle relaxer. A Botox treatment is minimally invasive and is considered the safest and effective line of treatment for fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. It can also be used on the forehead between the eyes.

3. Fillers

Fillers or more correctly the Injectable filler is a soft tissue filler injected in the skin at different depths to help fill in facial wrinkles, provide facial volume, and augment facial features. It gives a smoother appearance. They are primarily used to treat smile lines, though the fillers can also be used to plump up the lips or cheeks.

Types of Fillers:

1. Under-eye fillers

if your eyes look tired and worn out, even when you are well-rested, eye fillers may be an option very popular in present times. Eye fillers are used to lighten the tear trough or under-eye area. They make that area look plumper and brighter. It reduces under-eye shadows and completely changes the impression of the face, making you look well-rested and fresh.

The different types of under-eye fillers are:

1. Hyaluronic acid

Is naturally produced by the body. Hyaluronic acid fillers are made from a synthetic gel that mimics the body’s natural substance. Hyaluronic acid fillers have been shown to support collagen production in the skin. A local anesthetic is used to help numb the area, before the procedure.

2. Poly(L)Lactic acid

Is a biocompatible, synthetic material that may be injected via a process called Linear threading. This substance significantly invigorates collagen production.

3. Fat transfer (fat grafting, microlipoinjection)

It is the longest lasting type of filler. In this procedure, our Aesthetic Physician, Dr. Poonam Arya may recommend using an injection of your body’s fat to build up the area. The fat is usually taken from the Abdomen, hip, buttocks, and thigh area.

2. Lip Fillers

Also known as Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that can give you fuller or plumper lips. An injectable dermal filler is the most commonly used method of lip augmentation.

The different types of lip fillers are:

1. Hyaluronic acid

The most common filler is Hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body. It helps increase the volume of your lips. This type of filler can improve the appearance of the loops by adding: Shape, Structure, and Volume. The effects can last 6 months or more. Subsequently, more injections are needed to keep the volume of the lips. Once injected the gel in the filler supports and shapes the tissues of the lips. Compared to other fillers, there is a better control over how much lip volume is created. Local anesthesia is applied to numb the lips.

2. Collagen

This dermal injectable is a non surgical cosmetic procedure that can add significant volume to the lips, creating a “pout” effect that can last for months. The entire collagen injection procedure takes approximately 10 minutes. Discomfort is usually minimal and brief. The collagen lip injection procedure has been proven to be a safe and effective treatment for lips augmentation. Treatment may require collagen injections two to four times a year to maintain the smoothing effects.

3. Fat transfer (fat grafting, microlipoinjection)

3. Volume Loss Fillers

As we get older, we are going to get wrinkles and lose facial volume. To fight back against the inescapable signs of aging, Volume loss fillers act as our saviors. Dr. Poonam Arya at Radiance offers a comprehensive selection of dermal fillers to plump, firm, and smooth all the evidence of volume loss and facial wrinkles, including your lips. The volume loss fillers can restore lost volume to your face and help you look as young as you feel. Each of these injectables works in a slightly different way to restore volume to different areas of your face, from moderate to severe by supplementing Hyaluronic acid or stimulating collagen production.

The different types of volume loss fillers are:

1. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers

This filler helps to restore volume beneath the surface of the skin in your cheeks, lips, and around your nose and mouth. Dr. Poonam Arya at the Radiance will inject these dermal fillers into the areas of your face that have begun to sink or shift downward, the Hyaluronic acid filler instantly gives your skin the lift it once had when you were younger. These injectable gels plump up your skin so your face appears more youthful again. As volume is restored, lines and wrinkles appear smoother and less noticeable. The results last up to two years.

2. Collagen stimulating dermal fillers

This filler treatment gradually replaces lost collagen, which also helps restore facial volume and smooth out lines and wrinkles around your nose, mouth, and Chin. This treatment may also help stimulate your body’s collagen production to restore your skin’s inner support structure for long

4. Facelift Filler

Aging breaks down connective fibers, such as collagen and elastin fibers, and also causes a loss of fat in deep layers of the skin. The result is sagging, loose skin that wrinkles more easily. Fortunately for our clients, Dr. Poonam Arya at Radiance Clinic specializes in a very effective non-surgical option called a Liquid Facelift. In this treatment, the patient receives multiple injections of dermal fillers, which are substances that restore facial fullness for a more youthful appearance. The end goal is to plump up the skin. The beauty of this procedure is you can often get it done in one session. A local anesthetic is applied to numb the area.

The different types of volume loss fillers are:

1. Hyaluronic acid

This is the most common class of fillers used. The effects last months to almost a year.

2. Collagen or fat

Also called soft tissue augmentation, collagen and fat injectable fillers are a temporary treatment for correcting wrinkles and scars. This category of fillers includes fat transfer from the patient’s own body. Soft tissue augmentation treatments last from three to twelve months.

3. Platelet

are the patient’s own tissue. The Aesthetic Physician draws blood from the patient, to separate plasma from blood cells. The plasma is then injected back into the patient’s face. The plasma contains platelets and growth factors that may stimulate collagen production.

4. Poly(L)Lactic acid

This type of filler stimulates collagen production and lasts up to 24 months. The effects appear gradually, requiring three to four injections over a series of visits.

5. Thread lift

PDO threads is a typical procedure wherein temporary sutures are used to produce subtle but visible ‘lift’ in the skin. Instead of removing the patient’s loose facial skin surgically, the Aesthetic Physician simply suspended it by stitching up portions of it. This has the effect of pulling the skin back slightly and therefore lifting and tightening the face. In addition to being ideal for lifting the skin, thread combats aging in another way, by provoking the body’s ‘healing response’ and causing the body to direct large surges of collagen to treated areas. This is important because of the vital role collagen plays in the aging process. This procedure is a progressive rejuvenation for the facial tissues. Patients who have a thread lift to stimulate collagen will notice a gradual improvement in their skin tone and firmness. The threads placed under the skin during a thread lift are so small that the patient will not feel this happening. The recovery time is very less as compared to a surgical facelift. Thread lifts are performed under local anesthesia.
