PRODUCT FEATURE: MESOESTETIC™ ULTIMATE W+ WHITENING SPOT ERASER – Ultra-concentrated Whitening Treatment for Localized treatment of Dark Spots

Melanogenesis is the natural biochemical process responsible for production of the skin pigments that give the skin color and protect it from UV radiation. This process can be altered by different factors that trigger localized overproduction of melanin, causing unsightly blotches and uneven skin tone. The main cause of melanin overproduction is exposure to the sun. However, genetic factors, hormonal factors, skin aging, photosensitizing agents, etc. also play a role.

Often, the skin pigmentations that we have are so dark that ordinary lightening creams and lotions don’t improve them significantly. Mesoestetic™ Ultimate W+ Whitening Spot Eraser has ultra-concentrated whitening ingredients to improve even the most recalcitrant skin pigmentations.

Mesoestetic™ Ultimate W+ Whitening Spot Eraser has [Meso]white complex™, an exclusive combination of active ingredients with proven efficacy that inhibit melanin synthesis by disrupting various steps in its formation and transfer. It also has Garden cress, a powerful phytonutrient that inhibits tyrosinase and α-MSH, both involved in melanin synthesis processes. Attenuates the appearance of spots on skin and provides whitening benefits. Glycolic acid and Retinol also helps in its lightening property, with added anti-oxidant action to protect your skin and provide anti-aging benefits.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Use light pressure to release the product, and apply once or twice daily, directly to the treatment zone, using gentle circular massaging movements until it is completely absorbed.

INFINI™: 3-Dimensional Microneedle Fractional Radiofrequency for Skin Rejuvenation, Stretch marks & Scars Treatment

WHAT IS INFINI™?
Infini™ is a microneedle RF treatment device, which means it uses a combination of radiofrequency energy and microneedling to provide dramatic skin tightening and skin rejuvenation. Infini™ provides a non-surgical face lift by using microneedling fractional radiofrequency (MFR). Gold-coated microneedles are used to create controllable and fractioned radiofrequency thermal coagulation zones, which cause damage to the reticular dermis; this then results in long-term dermal remodelling, new elastin tissue formation, new collagen formation and dermal thickening, without causing epidermal injury.

WHAT ARE THE SKIN PROBLEMS TREATED BY INFINI™?
Infini™ is the ideal device for performing non-surgical cosmetic treatments on the face and neck. A number of different skin problems can be improved with Infini’s innovative microneedle and radiofrequency combination technology. Infini™ skin treatment includes:
  ▪ Skin tightening
  ▪ Improvement of Wrinkles and fine lines
  ▪ Skin rejuvenation
  ▪ Treatment of Active inflammatory Acne
  ▪ Improvement of Enlarged pores
  ▪ Improvement of Acne scars
  ▪ Scar treatment
  ▪ Treatment of Hyperhidrosis or Excessive Sweating
  ▪ Improvement of Stretch marks
  ▪ Improvement of Excessive Sebum or Oil secretion

HOW COMFORTABLE IS THE INFINI™ TREATMENT?
This depends on the type of procedure and individual, each person has his or her own pain tolerances. However, the INFINI was designed to maximize comfort for the patient with patented flow needling technology. Compared with other MRF (Microneedle Radiofrequency) and SRF (Superficial Radiofrequency) devices, many find the Infini™ more comfortable.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER INFINI™ THE TREATMENT?
Infini’s precise intra-dermal RF delivery with the MFR approach eliminates thermal damage to skin surface providing faster healing without downtime, and as a result lowers the risk of dark pigmentation after the treatment for all skin types. Typically, the treated area is red and appears “sunburned” or “wind chapped” for up to 24 to 48 hours. Patients may also experience minimal swelling. Following treatment, patients can resume all normal activities. We advise that patients wear adequate sun protection before going outdoors.

HOW MANY INFINI™ TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
The number of treatments depends on age, condition of skin, amount of laxity, and desires. In general, most people should consider 3 treatment sessions, but some have been satisfied with less. With only one session of Infini™ treatment most patients will already see results.

IF I WOULD NEED MORE THAN 1 SESSION OF INFINI™, HOW OFTEN WILL THE TREATMENT SESSIONS BE?
Interval of sessions is 3-6 weeks apart. Interval of sessions can be extended to 8 weeks if needed.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS FROM INFINI™ TREATMENT?
Complications or negative side effects are remarkably low with the Infini™ treatments. Patient selection should be appropriate and the settings and technique should be done by a trained and licensed dermatologist. Pre-treating the skin with a balanced medical skincare regimen will also optimize the response to Infini as well as reduce the possibility of any side effects. Problems such as hyperpigmentation which can be frustrating with laser treatments in darker skin types are not typically seen with Infini™ treatments.

PICOSURE™ – The Best and Most Revolutionary Laser for Tattoo Removal, Pigment Correction and Skin Rejuvenation

WHAT IS PICOSURE?
PicoSure is the world’s fastest, safest and revolutionary laser specifically designed to treat tattoos and pigmented (brown) spots. It is also very effective laser for treating acne scars, rejuvenating and tightening the skin and reducing wrinkles.

HOW DOES PICOSURE WORK?
PicoSure laser focuses on your problem areas whether it’s brown spots, sun damage, freckles, pigmented lesions, aged & wrinkled skin or acne scars. In the past, lasers have relied on intense heat energy to remove pigment from the skin, which may be painful and lead to significant skin redness and downtime. Now, with the breakthrough picosecond technology of PicoSure, the results are more dramatic and much better with less pain and less downtime than traditional lasers.

WHY IS PICOSURE MORE EFFECTIVE THAN OTHER LASERS?
PicoSure offers a gentler treatment, because of its patented technology of delivering ultra short pulses that create an intense impact with less trauma to the skin.
• Treatments using a PicoSure laser are more comfortable
• Fewer treatments are required
• The skin’s recovery time is shorter

WHAT ARE THE SKIN PROBLEMS TREATED BY PICOSURE?
• Tattoos (All colors)
• Melasma
• Freckles
• All other kinds of pigmentations (e.g. Dark underarms, Dark scars)
• Acne scars
• Wrinkles/ Aging skin
• Uneven skin tone

IS PICOSURE PAINFUL?
There is some pain associated for tattoo removal using PicoSure although this less painful than traditional tattoo removal. We use numbing medication, applied topically 30 minutes prior to the procedure.
PicoSure for melasma, freckles, dark scars/spots and for wrinkles is not painful since the intensity for this is lower than for tattoo removal.

HOW LONG WILL EACH TREATMENT SESSION BE?
Sessions average about 15 minutes each; your actual session length will depend on the size of the tattoo or the treated area. Each session is scheduled about 4 to 6 weeks apart to allow the skin to naturally clear away the pigment of the spot or the ink between treatments.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO I NEED?
The number of treatments is based on the color of the tattoo or the dark spot, the type of tattoo ink used and your skin and the severity of the skin problem (wrinkles, acne scars, melasma, etc.). You will see results even after the first session. For example, brown spots may need 2-4 treatments; tattoos may take 3 or more treatments (depending on the type of pigment); acne scars may take 1 to 3 treatments; wrinkles/aging skin may need 1-2 treatments, again, based on your individual situation.
