PLASMAGE® – Revolutionary Fractional Plasma Energy for the Treatment of Various Skin Problems

CorDerm Advanced Dermatology & Laser Center is proud to introduce for the First Time in the Philippines, the Plasmage®, Fractional Plasma Treatment!

Plasmage®, was invented by a team of expert medical engineers from the esteemed Italian company, Brera Medical Technologies. Plasmage® is used for Non-surgical Eyelid Lift, Removal of Wrinkles like Crow’s Feet and Smoker’s Lines (lines on lips), Deep Scars, Syringoma, Milia, Age Spots, Fibroids, Skintags, etc.

The comparative advantage of the Plasmage® apparatus is that due to its precision it acts precisely on those areas where it is difficult to use other instruments such as lasers or radiofrequency. Plasmage® works according to the principle of fractional plasma and is extremely precise, with the ability of setting the instrument’s strength while treating certain problems. Recovery time is short and the results are instant and impressive.

HOW DOES PLASMAGE® WORK?
The device creates a series of small dots on the skin that are triggers for an immediate reaction – the tissue is tightened, lifted, contoured, and renewed. Plasmage uses the fourth state of matter – Gas – to achieve this effect. An ionization of gases from the air occurs, creating a small electric arch. These electric arches are used to treat a certain problem, while the surrounding skin remains unaffected.

WHAT CONDITIONS CAN PLASMAGE® TREAT?
Plasmage® can be used to treat the following
– Redundant skin in the eyelids
– Wrinkles (e.g. Lower eyelid wrinkles, Crow’s Feet, Smoker’s lines around the lips)
– Deep scars
– Syringoma
– Milia
– Sebaceous hyperplasia
– Seborrheic keratoses
– Age Spots
– Xanthelasma
– Fibroids
– Skintags
– Uneven skin tone
– Rough/Dry skin

IS THE TREATMENT PAINFUL?
Because anaesthetic cream is applied to the area to be treated, the prick from the needle is minimal, with only a brief tingly sensation. Recovery is entirely pain-free. Swelling may occur on the treated area, but will disappear in 2-3 days. You can then return to all your regular daily activities.

WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT FROM PLASMAGE® TREATMENT?
Plasmage® can yield stunning results, depending on the state of the skin. In fact, the results are visible immediately, with end results in 2-4 weeks, when the skin recovers completely.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER INSTRUCTIONS THAT I NEED TO REMEMBER AFTER THE PLASMAGE® TREATMENT?
After treatment, it is necessary to apply healing cream for at least 7 days. A sun protection cream or sunblock should be applied for at least 6 to 8 weeks . The scabs will fall off in around 7 days, and the skin will be completely renewed after 6 to 8 weeks.

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.

NEORETIN® Serum Booster & Gel Cream SPF50 – Powerful Combination to Clear & Brighten Skin Pigmentations for an Even Complexion

WHAT IS NEORETIN®?

NeoRetin® helps clear and brighten your skin, creating an even complexion. NeoRetin® helps control the appearance of your skin’s pigmentation by using clinically-proven ingredients to tackle every stage of the melanin production cycle, while the patented mild for all skin types formulation of these ingredients safely maximizes the beneficial effects to your skin. NeoRetin® has been thoroughly tested in clinical conditions and has been found to be effective on a range of skin types and levels of pigmentation.

HOW DOES NEORETIN® WORK?
NeoRetin® works hard to treat your skin in a number of ways. It is effective at tackling dark skin pigmentation by keeping your skin fresh and renewed, as well as actively whitening your skin. Additionally, it provides added protection from broad spectrum UVA and UVB light as well as keeping your skin moisturised and feeling great.

NeoRetin® uses a unique combination of Vitamin A ingredients to help increase cell turnover and exfoliation which speeds up the shedding of the darker skin cells. These ingredients are delivered through the epidermis using unique Retinsphere™ technology, which helps prolong the activity and bioavailability of the ingredients. .

NeoRetin®’s Whitening Booster System contains clinically proven brightening and lightening agents that prevent the development and transfer of melanin at every stage of its production cycle.

The range also includes broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection, preventing any further melanin production, as well as protecting the skin from the other negative effects of UV exposure, reducing the production of “reactive oxygen species” or “free radicals” that cause sun damage and even skin cancer.

Finally, NeoRetin’s moisturising formulation locks moisture into the epidermis and optimises your skin’s tolerability so that it not only looks great, but feels great too.

HOW DO I USE NEORETIN®?
Apply the NeoRetin® Gel cream SPF50 on the whole face in the morning.
Apply the NeoRetin® Serum Booster on skin pigmentations at night.

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.
