Advantages of hair transplant.

Hair transplantation is a procedure where individual hairs are taken from the back of the head (donor area) and moved to balding areas (recipient area). Hair transplantation is performed to correct thinning hair, baldness, scarring, alopecia, and other conditions.
The procedure involves harvesting donor hair grafts from the back of the scalp, dissecting them under local anesthesia, then implanting them at the recipient site. A linear pattern is created by moving grafts down the line of hair loss. There are two types of hair transplants: strip-exchange and follicular unit extraction. Strip-exchange is done using punches or blades to harvest strips of hair. Follicular unit extraction uses a laser to remove single hair follicles. Both methods result in natural looking results.
There are several advantages of hair transplant surgery including:
• No downtime – no suture removal necessary.
• Natural appearance – looks almost identical to original hair.
• Minimal pain – only local anesthesia is used.
• Fast recovery time – usually takes less than 2 hours.
• Low cost – compared to other treatments, hair transplantation costs much less.
• Permanent solution – once the transplanted hair grows out, it lasts forever.
• Fewer procedures – requires fewer sessions over a longer period of time.
• Less invasive – does not require shaving the entire head.
• Better results – hair transplantation works best on people who have lost their hair due to male pattern baldness.
• More options – hair transplantation can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to create a fuller look.

Dermatologist’s 1 Best Facial Treatment

August 17, 2018

Spa facials are now commonplace, offered everywhere from shopping malls to neighbourhood estates. While these may help you unwind,  conventional spa facials may not be able to deliver effective results to your skin, and they may even cause more harm than good.

This is because facials at conventional spas or beauty salons are unsupervised by a doctor and may cause irritation and skin sensitivity. Often they include forceful extraction of pimples, blackheads and whiteheads that not only inflame the skin and cause pain but also increase the chances of secondary infections and deep scarring. Some of our patients have even contracted viral warts from contaminated instruments used for pimple extraction.

Enter the Medifacial. Short for medical facial, it is a procedure performed at a licensed medical establishment with non-invasive dermatological procedures. It causes neither pain or scarring, and uses pharmaceutical grade solutions and serums. A form of microdermabrasion very gently exfoliates dead skin cells, and a specialized vacuum handpiece extracts blackheads and whiteheads. The procedure both removes impurities and intensely hydrates with potent serums, including antioxidants and hydroxy acids, that soothe and rejuvenate the skin.

Medifacials can be tailored to the address a patient’s individual skin concerns including:

Facial Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a safe and painless resurfacing procedure that results in decreased levels of melanin and increased collagen density. Not to be confused with dermabrasion, it targets the epidermis – the outer skin layer – instead of the dermis which is the deeper skin layer.

In conventional dermabrasion, a handpiece sprays inert crystals onto the face – such as aluminium oxide, magnesium oxide or sodium chloride or other abrasive substances – and vacuums them off.

In a medifacial, the microdermabrasion process uses a specialized vacuum handpiece embedded with an abrasion tip that is designed to rotate and gently exfoliate the skin while concurrently applying a soothing solution. The vacuum pressure and speed is adjusted to each patient’s sensitivity and tolerance to maintain as comfortable a procedure as possible.

The mechanism of abrasion and suction gently exfoliates the outer skin layers to remove dead skin cells. With a superficial depth of skin removal, microdermabrasion helps improve the conditions of skin surface such as scarring or photodamaged skin.

By producing controlled superficial trauma, the procedure also promotes facial rejuvenation. Repetitive injury to the epidermis can cause gradual improvement as it stimulates collagen production and fibroblast proliferation. (Fibroblast are cells found in connective tissues that produce collagen and other fibres.) This allows new collagen deposition in the dermis layer.

Mild erythema (redness) may occur at the end of a microdermabrasion treatment but will subside within hours. Microdermabrasion should not be confused with dermabrasion.

Facial Extraction

If you have self-extracted comedones at home, you will likely be aware of the excessive scarring and breakouts that often follow. It is likely that the right pressure or angle is not applied during home extractions, disrupting the integrity of follicles and causing inflammation. Not using medically sterilised equipment can also lead to infections, exacerbating the condition.

In a dermatologist’s office, extraction is safely and easily performed and rarely leaves residual scarring. An accredited dermatologist can first assess between comedones that are suitable for extraction versus those that are not. After prepping the skin with alcohol, a tiny prick incision is made with a surgical blade to lightly pierce the epidermis. Light or medium pressure is applied directly on top of the comedo until all of the contents are removed. The treatment may cause minor discomfort but also help achieve an almost instant improvement in skin appearance.

In a medifacial, the microdermasion and vacuum processes, together with specialized and hydrating solutions, “loosen” and extract blackheads, whiteheads, excess sebum, keratin and other impurities. The specialized medifacial handpiece creates a strong vacuum with precision control that targets comedones from enlarged pores and removes the associated waste from the epidermis. It avoids collateral damage to the surrounding tissue and is completely painless.

Infusion of potent serums

In a medifacial, topical infusion of various serums and solutions is carried out continuously using the specialized treatment handpiece. The serums contain a potent mix of sodium hyaluronate, antioxidants and hydroxy acids that are applied at different stages of treatment to achieve a variety of effects such as skin hydration, lightening of pigmentation and softening of the skin for exfoliation and extraction.

Antioxidants are substances that protect our body and skin from oxidative damage. With their highly protective and rejuvenating properties, they are a mainstay in skincare formulations and key ingredients in a medifacial treatment. Antioxidants used include vitamin E, vitamin C, and rosa damascena (or rose water) that have brightening effects to help skin achieve a radiant glow.

Larecea Extract™ is a dermatologist-formulated combination of bioactive antioxidants derived from brassica olereacea (cruciferous family plants)  and potent regenerative amino acids. It is a trademarked ingredient in the Dr.TWL Dermaceuticals’ cosmeceutical line.

Hydroxy acids help remove the top layer (epidermis) of dead skin cells. They do this by dissolving the ‘cement’ between skin cells, revealing smoother and firmer skin. Hydroxy acids used in a medifacial treatment include salicylic acid and lactic acids. Lactic

So the next time you step out of a facial salon with unsatisfying results, do consider a medifacial instead. Conducted under the supervision of an accredited dermatologist, a medifacial clears up the skin and helps restore its brightness through microdermabrasion, extractions, and an infusion of potent nutrient serums that hydrate and rejuvenate. It also has zero downtime, and only requires liberal sunscreen application to protect against ultraviolet radiation afterwards.

Prepare your skin for winters

The advent of winter signals a change in the skin’s needs. The dry, cold air SUCKS the moisture from the skin, leaving it chapped, flaky and itchy. No matter what your skin type is, you will definitely need to change up your skincare routine to prepare your skin for the harsh winter months. Here are a few essential tips to help you get started:

1. Use a heavier moisturizer: During winters, it is essential to use a heavier moisturizer that can provide long-lasting hydration to the skin. Look for products that contain ingredients like glycerin, shea butter, etc.

2. Apply a lip balm: Lip balms are a winter essential! They help to protect the lips from the drying effects of the cold, windy weather.

3. Exfoliate regularly: Exfoliation is important to get rid of dead skin cells that can accumulate on the surface of the skin. This helps to improve the skin’s texture and also allows your other skincare products to work

As the weather cools down and the days get shorter, our skin begins to suffer. The low humidity in the air combined with the cold weather can leave our skin feeling dry, itchy, and irritated. Winter is the perfect time to give your skin some extra love and care. There are a few simple steps you can take to prepare your skin for the winter months. First, you’ll want to switch to a richer, more nourishing cleanser. A weekly exfoliating treatment will also help to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. Lastly, don’t forget to apply a hydrating moisturizer to help your skin retain moisture. By following these simple tips, you can help your skin survive the winter months looking and feeling its best!
