Alexandrite laser hair removal is a safe, fast, and more effective procedure to eliminate unwanted hair than electrolysis, waxing, shaving or tweezing. The primary principle behind laser hair removal is selective photothermolysis. This means that the laser selectively heats the area that causes hair growth (the follicle), with little or no damage to the surrounding skin. Alexandrite laser hair removal works on individual hair follicles during their growth cycle to deliver consistent, lasting results regardless of skin color or body area. Few sessions of laser treatments (within a time period apart) are required to eliminate unwanted hair. With the latest laser device (Candela Alexandrite GentleLase Pro) hair removal is a painless procedure. The number of treatments that are required depends on the skin colour and hair colour.

BEFORE TREATMENT

Before the laser hair removal session your hair must be 2-3 mm long. The therapist scans the entire area with the laser. Thanks to the two cooling systems, laser treatment is practically painless and easy. Sessions must be repeated every month. Usually 5-6 sessions are required for the completion of hair removal. A temporary redness might appear at the end of the session, which will subside in a few hours or days. Our team will recommend the use of moisturizer creams which should be applied after the laser treatment. The following days after hair removal patients should apply a sun screen on the treated area. The new Candela GentleLase Pro hair removal offers more options and variable pulse duration. Laser hair removal is safer even during the summer months and on slightly tanned skins.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL AND REPEAT SESSIONS

Candela Alexandrite laser hair removal does not require a repeat session after treatment, however if you still have hair on some areas, you can book your repeat session within 10 days. Our practitioner will examine you and will repeat the treatment on the areas that still have hair.

Erbium-YAG Fractional Laser is an effective treatment for improving the overall appearance of skin on the face, neck, chest, back and hands.

HOW IT WORKS

Erbium-YAG Fractional Laser uses a laser micro-beam to treat thousands of pinpoint areas on the skin. Healing time is relatively short and down time less than that of deeper skin resurfacing. It creates an ablative and thermal effect which stimulates the skin to produce collagen; while tightening and improving texture, smoothing out wrinkles, lines, scars and other irregularities. Healing time is usually 3-5 days. Noticeable results are often achieved in as little as a single treatment. For optimal results you may require between 1-3 treatments, spaced 3-6 weeks apart, depending on your skin condition and desired results.

ERBIUM-YAG FRACTIONAL LASER CAN BE USED TO IMPROVE A WIDE VARIETY OF SKIN CONDITIONS INCLUDING:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scarring
• Pigmentation
• Skin laxity
• Sun damaged skin
• Skin texture
• Large open pores

Thread lift is an effective, non-invasive, scar-free, revolutionary procedure with impressive lifting effects on sagging facial or body skin. It is the right treatment for mild and moderate cases of facial aging. If you are noticing early signs of aging, such as slight sagging of facial and neck skin or lines and wrinkles that don’t require cosmetic surgery (Face Lift), and seek a minimally invasive option that offers a lifted, toned and tightened result, then you are the perfect candidate for a Thread Face Lifting. Depending on the area of concern, Thread Face Lifting procedure can be performed by using PDO Mono Thread technology – for facial skin restoration and rejuvenation – or using immediate lifting COG Threads.

COG threads are essentially Mono threads with barbs to hook to underneath of the skin. The barbs form a support layer that lifts the sagging tissue. Unlike Mono threads, COG threads do not require anchoring points. Collagen formation can also appear around the threads and their barbs. COG threads are most beneficial for middle and lower parts of the face.

Dr. Andreas Skarparis is trained in implementing the highest standards and advanced techniques. The outpatient, minimally invasive face lifting technique uses only European CE-certified PDO and COG Threads, proven safe for medical use.

Botox injection is the most commonly performed cosmetic procedure. When you smile, laugh, frown, you contract the muscles of your face. Over time, these contractions produce permanent furrows and deep wrinkles in the skin, especially around the eyes (crow’s feet), mouth (marionette lines), between the eyebrows and on the forehead. These wrinkles can make you look older, sad, angry, or tired. Botox is a therapeutic muscle-relaxing agent approved by the FDA for several different uses. When used for cosmetic purposes, it is a quick, safe, and effective way to reduce or eliminate facial wrinkles without surgery and with little to no downtime and discomfort. With the help of Botox, Dr. Andreas Skarparis can give your face a younger, fresher, and rejuvenated look.

BOTOX FOR THE TREATMENT OF HYPERHIDROSIS

Botox neurotoxin treatment helps control the symptoms of severe underarm sweating, excessive sweating of the hands and feet when topical medicines do not work well enough by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands don’t receive chemical signals, the severe sweating stops. Botox injections are expected to temporarily stop the production of excessive sweat in the treated areas only. Sweat continues to be produced elsewhere.

WHERE DOES THE SWEAT GO?

Your sweat doesn’t go anywhere or get backed up because the sweat simply is not produced in the areas treated with Botox. Remember, the rest of your body is free to produce moisture normally.

FACIAL FILLERS

Fillers, such as Juvéderm™ and Restylane®, are safe, effective, FDA-approved injectable gels that gently smooth away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, and restores volume and contour to the skin of the face. Both are made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural, biocompatible, water-binding gel that is found throughout your body. Since it is not of animal or human origin there is no risk of allergic reactions to HA. Facial fillers are designed to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, sculpt lips, and shape facial various contour irregularities. They are especially effective around the nasolabial folds (deep furrows from the root of the nose to the angle of your mouth), and the glabellar lines (between the eyebrows) and generally where there are static (permanent) wrinkles at the face. With minimal patient downtime and discomfort, the results are immediate and natural-looking.

Hyaluronic acids for tissue augmentation (Juvéderm Voluma, Restylane SubQ, Sculptra, Ellansé) are designed and used to restore the lost volume of the face and bring back your youthful beauty, vitality and attractiveness, lost with the process of aging. The hyaluronic acid filler is injected into the specific fat buttress regions of the face. The procedure restores the three dimensional structure of the soft tissue fat pads of the facial structures without surgery or the associated down time of a outpatient surgical Face Lift. The results are amazing as the procedures restores and fills the loss of the youthful appearance of the skin and “fullness of youth”. A youthful face has a series of attractive convexities and corresponding concavities, fullness of the brows, cheeks and jaw line that we define as attractive. The youthful and attractive face is supported by deep buttresses of fat that lift and support the overlying skin and soft tissue, lending the contours of youth and beauty. This procedure is a simple and natural way to obtain these desired results as an outpatient procedure.

The duration of your injectable lift effect will vary depending upon the product used. With the newer products available you can expect the effects to last from one to two years. The decision on the fillers use is typically done during the consultation with Dr. Andreas Skarparis. This procedure will require “maintenance” to maintain the natural youthful appearance you desire. Cheek and Chin Augmentation are very frequent procedures performed with the use of facial fillers when surgery is not wanted.

Profhilo contains the natural occurring substance Hyaluronic acid which can be found in our bodies, and it mainly helps to maintain the moisture in our skin. In order to help promote the production of collagen and elastin in the skin, the hyaluronic acid in Profhilo is treated in a certain way. Profhilo spreads evenly once it is injected just below the surface of the skin and immediately after this treatment, the hydrogenation process increases hence smoothening the fine lines and wrinkles, reduce crepey and saggy skin.

With Profhilo, one can achieve natural results, making it different from Fillers which, instead, fill the skin to reduce wrinkles. After the treatment, increased elasticity and the overall increase in the skin quality is observed. Depending on the skin condition, these results are expected to last up to 6-12 months. According to Dr. Skarparis, 2 initial treatments with a 4 weeks interval are recommended.

Restylane injectable products can help to gradually improve your skin’s condition, increasing elasticity, and reducing fine lines and imperfections. A refreshed look can be achieved with Restylane Skinboosters treatments.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Hair Loss treatment is a modern, innovative and safe conservative treatment that stimulates hair follicle growth, resolving the problem of both male and female hair loss. In the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) process, our therapist must collect a small amount of blood from the patient, spin it, and separate a section of plasma that is perceived to have a very high concentration of platelets. Upon the generation of the platelet-rich plasma, it is then injected back into the same patient’s scalp through a process referred to as an autologous injection (mesotherapy).

Platelets play a significant role including helping in the clotting of the blood thereby reducing the rate of bleeding. Consequently, platelets help in the healing of the wound since they comprise of hundreds of growth factors. For instance, platelet-rich therapy is claimed to have made headlines due to the favor it receives from the elite athletes by helping them to recover from the injury. Furthermore, the growth factors found in the platelet-rich plasma work in the stimulation of the natural growth factors which is evident in the skin and hair follicles.

Utilizing the Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy is not linked with any side effects since it encompasses using an individual’s platelets. Therefore, patients do not experience any adverse reactions to the injections. Generally, Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment usually Comprises of 3-6 sessions which are approximately spaced four to five weeks apart. It is recommendable that an individual goes for maintenance therapy once or twice a year after a series of sessions. PRP Platelet-Rich Plasma Hair Loss treatment is fast, simple, safe, and effective.
