NEW TREATMENT FEATURE: Vbeam Perfecta™ – Gold Standard Laser for Vascular Lesions and Other Applications

WHAT IS VBEAM PERFECTA™ LASER?
Vbeam Perfecta™ Laser is a Pulsed Dye Laser with a variety of applications. It is the Gold Standard Laser for Vascular Lesions such as:
– Hemangiomas
– Port Wine Stains
– Rosacea
– Post-Acne Erythema (Post-Acne Red Marks/Spots)
– Poikiloderma of Civatte
– Facial/Spider Veins.

ASIDE FROM VASCULAR LESIONS, WHAT ARE ITS OTHER USES?
Vbeam Perfecta™ Laser is also used for:
– Melasma
– Inflamed Acne
– Red/Brown Stretchmarks
– Keloids/ Hypertrophic Scars
– Bruises/ Ecchymoses
– Warts
– Psoriasis

WHAT IS THE VBEAM PERFECTA™ TREATMENT LIKE?
Most patients are reclining or lying down, depending on the area being treated. The laser will be calibrated and parameters set based on the specific condition being treated. Patients often report a warming or tingling sensation during the treatment, although anesthetics are usually not required.

ARE THE TREATMENTS PAINFUL?
Most patients report a sensation similar to mild sunburn after the treatment. During the treatment, skin receives additional protection through the patented Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD™), which delivers a cooling burst of cryogen before the laser pulse is delivered. The DCD increases comfort during treatment and minimizes side effects such as redness.

IS THE TREATMENT SAFE?
Yes, Vbeam Laser treatments have been used since the 1980s for the treatment of port wine stains in infants and young children. Some patients experience redness immediately after treatment, but it usually goes away in a few hours. Occasionally a laser bruise called purpura may occur; this usually disappears in 3-5 days.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE REQUIRED?
This depends on the size, location and depth of your lesion. Spider veins and age spots generally do well with 1 or 2 treatments, while darker/ deeper hemangiomas may require additional treatments. Treatments should be placed at least 4 weeks apart to allow your body to remove the maximum amount of pigment cells.

WHAT PRECAUTIONS SHOULD I TAKE BEFORE AND AFTER TREATMENT?
Avoid sun exposure before and throughout treatments; SPF 50 or higher sunblock should be worn daily during this time. Post-treatment care varies depending on condition and should be discussed with your dermatologist.

INTRODUCING: SCULPTRA® – FDA-Approved Dermal Filler that Helps Replace Lost Collagen: For Wrinkles, Aging Skin & Deep Scars – The First in the Philippines!

WHAT IS SCULPTRA®?
Sculptra® is a Poly-L-Lactic acid substance that is used to fill wrinkles and deep scars, because of its collagen-forming properties. Thus, long term effects would be more satisfactory than traditional toxins like Botox®, hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane® since the lost collagen that causes wrinkles and deep scars are replenished.

WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE SCULPTRA® OVER OTHER TREATMENTS?
Fillers are liquid or gel substances, like hyaluronic acid or bovine or porcine collagen, that diminish lines by pushing up the dermis space beneath wrinkles and creases. Results appear immediately and can last up to several months.
Collagen stimulators are used to diminish facial wrinkles by helping to restore the deep, underlying structure of the skin. Results appear gradually over the treatment regime (typically three injections over the course of three to four months) and can last up to two years.
As a Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator, Sculptra® is different. It works with your body within the deep dermis, rather than topically, to help revitalize collagen production and help restore your skin’s inner structure and volume. As the Sculptra’s PLLA microparticles are absorbed, they help stimulate collagen production. Rebuilt collagen strands begin gradually helping to restore facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles and deep scars. Results may not be immediate, but they will last much longer than other treatments.

HOW DOES SCULPTRA® WORK?
Sculptra® is made with biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic material called Poly-L-lactic acid, which is gradually and naturally absorbed by the body and helps to rebuild lost collagen through a series of treatments administered by a trained dermatologist.
The dermatologist injects treatment within the dermis, where strands of collagen support your skin’s structure. Over time, Sculptra® helps the body reproduce lost collagen. On average, 3 injection appointments are needed over a period of a few months. The number of injection appointments and the number of injections per appointment vary from person to person, depending on how much collagen has been lost.

IS SCULPTRA® SAFE?
Sculptra® is US FDA-approved and has been used worldwide since 1999. It contains a synthetic material called Poly-L-Lactic acid, which is a biocompatible, biodegradable substance that is gradually and naturally absorbed by the body and commonly found in dissolvable stitches.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER THE TREATMENT?
There will be some redness, tenderness and swelling on the injection sites after the treatment which will disappear in around 1 to 2 days. Bruising can be seen especially if you’re prone to bruising, which will disappear in 4 to 5 days. Lumps that can occur with the injection will dissipate in 1 to 2 days.

NEW TREATMENT FEATURE: NANOPORE SCAR/KELOID THERAPY – Latest Breakthrough Treatment for Keloids & Hypertrophic Scars

WHAT IS NANOPORE SCAR/KELOID THERAPY?
NanoPore Scar/Keloid Therapy is a new treatment system, developed in Europe. It is a system of direct delivery of anti-scar ingredients to inhibit fibroblast proliferation/scar formation and promote reduction in the size and thickness of scars and keloids. The skin becomes more receptive to the key ingredients that are infused because of this technique, thus, hastening the improvement of keloids/hypertrophic scars.

HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE NEEDED?
The number of sessions will depend on the severity of the keloids/hypertrophic scars. An average of 5 to 6 sessions may be needed for better results. Each session can be done every 3 to 4 weeks.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING AND AFTER THE TREATMENT?
We apply a numbing cream 30 to 45 minutes before the procedure. Immediately after the treatment, there will be redness and swelling which will last for around 2 to 3 days. Improvement can be seen after approximately 3 to 4 weeks.

ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS AFTER THE PROCEDURE?
We recommend that the patient avoid washing the area for 24 hours. Friction/scratching of the keloids/scars should always be avoided to prevent increase in the size of the keloids/scars. Silicone ointments/Silicone sheets can be continued after the procedure.

HOW LONG WILL EACH TREATMENT SESSION BE?
Sessions average about 15 minutes each; your actual session length will depend on the size of the treated area. Each session is scheduled about 2 to 4 weeks apart to allow the skin to naturally clear away the pigment of the spot between treatments.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO I NEED?
The number of treatments is based on the type of skin problem. However, average number of sessions is around 5 for most of the indications.
