Are you having trouble with eyelid hooding, lines, wrinkles and lax skin around your eyes which make you appear to look tired all the time? Do you feel that you no longer look as young as you feel? An eye treatment with Thermage could be the right solution for you.
The amount of collagen in our skin diminishes as we age which results in loss of skin elasticity, wrinkles and sagging skin. Thermage is a safe, non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses a patented radio frequency technology to safely heat the deeper layers of your skin to promote new collagen production as well as stimulate existing collagen in your skin. This deep uniform heating action causes deep structures in your skin to immediately tighten. Over time, new and remodeled collagen is produced to further tighten skin, resulting in healthier, smoother skin and a more youthful appearance.
New collagen formation is a gradual process and after your treatment you will continue to see improvement for up to six months. The result is tighter and plumper skin which can last from 2 to 3 years after which a maintenance Thermage regime will be discussed with you.
Thermage treatments can also be used to treat crepey and saggy skin involving the cheeks, jowls and neck, as well as areas of the body including the arms (bingo wings), hands, abdomen, legs, knees and post pregnancy tummies. The treatment can also be used following body contouring procedures such as Liposuction to further promote skin tightening on treated areas.
All specialised Thermage eye and body treatments are carried out by our resident plastic surgeon.

The face is the most dynamic organ of the body, constantly being used to make expressions as well as being exposed to all the environmental elements.
When we analyse our ‘patients faces’ for any particular cosmetic treatment, we access the face as a whole. Facial ageing involves the skin, muscle and soft tissue support of the upper, middle, lower face and neck, so it’s no wonder that we have to address all areas for a gradual, subtle and effective rejuvenation and restore a more youthful appearance. This is easily achieved using a dermal filler such as Juvederm® Voluma, it is safe, comfortable, and long lasting.
‘The Triangle Of Youth’
The ageing face over time
Volume loss and Muscular Hyperactivity are two major components of the ageing process that together contribute to the formation of wrinkles.
We can sucessfully restore the triangle of youth with Juvederm® Voluma to gently revolumise areas of volume loss, which often include the: hollows of the temple – cheeks and cheekbones – tear troughs – nasolabial folds - corners of the mouth – jaw line – chin.
The results are subtle, immediate, natural, long lasting and can last up to a year.

At ‘The Cosmetic Skin Clinic’ we have seen a huge interest and demand for Dermaroller in the past year and its applications seem limitless! Its a big buzz in facial rejuvenation, (as mentioned in this weeks Grazia magazine).
Janine Scott our Snr Aesthetic Medical Practitioner says it can also be used on various parts of the body to tighten saggy skin and fade stretchmarks so will significantly help to improve ’mummies tummies’ post pregnancy. Tightness can be seen fairly soon after, but best results after 6 weeks. You will see significant results after a course of three.
Other parts of the body where Dermaroller is widely used are: ‘bingo wings’ (under the arms), decolletage (cleavage wrinkles), acne scarring, crepey skin on faces, fine lines and wrinkle reduction to scarring and texture improvements, it is a very simple and effective treatment with little or no down time, the results are even more spectacular used in conjunction with Restylane Vital skin revitalisation.
