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.

FACTORFIVE™ SERUM – Revolutionary Daily Regenerative Serum with Human Stem Cell Factors

WHAT IS FACTORFIVE™ SERUM?
Factor Five™ serum is a breakthrough blend of regenerative cytokines, polypeptide complexes & potent human Growth Factors from human fats, touted to fight the 5 signs of aging & help promote youthful skin.

WHAT ARE THE 5 SIGNS OF AGING & HOW DOES FACTORFIVE™ SERUM HELP?
1. Wrinkles
2. Sun spots, Age spots
3. Loose/sagging skin
4. Thinning of skin
5. Skin roughness/dryness

Factor Five™ serum hastens collagen formation & skin regeneration to achieve the following:
• Wrinkles & fine lines diminish
• Skin becomes more youthful & clear
• Skin becomes smoother & plumper
• Skin shows decrease in hyperpigmentation & sun damage

THERE ARE PRODUCTS IN THE MARKET THAT ARE MADE OF PLANT STEM CELLS. ARE THEY THE SAME AS HUMAN STEM CELLS? WHICH IS BETTER?
It’s very simple, you’re not a plant. Human derived growth factors work best on human skin. FactorFive’s human stem cell growth factors work like a lock & key with the receptors on your skin cells, promoting an increase in collagen, hyaluronic acid, elastin, and other beneficial skin proteins, which lead to a healthy and youthful appearance. While some plant extracts do contain vitamins and antioxidants that can help your skin, they simply do not compare to the powerful cytokines and growth factors produced by human stem cells.

WHAT TYPE OF STEM CELLS ARE USED IN FACTORFIVE™?
FactorFive sources stem cells exclusively from ethical sources. We only use fresh human adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) that have been acquired with consent from lipoaspirate, the fat from liposuction that is typically discarded after surgery. Also, our human ADSCs have been through multiple, rigorous safety and efficacy checks. No embryos, human eggs (oocytes), bone marrow, or other controversial tissues are used to produce FactorFive™.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SEE THE RESULTS?
It only takes 4 weeks to see the results with Factor Five™ serum! In clinical studies after 4 weeks of use, patients exhibited:
• 73% improvement in skin texture/smoothening
• 71% reduction in skin redness/ pigmentations
• 29% improvement in wrinkles & fine lines
• 29% reduction in age spots

HOW MANY TIMES A DAY SHOULD I APPLY THE SERUM?
We recommend that you apply it twice a day. We also recommend that you apply your sunblock after applying the serum before going out in the daytime.

IS FACTORFIVE™ SERUM HYPOALLERGENIC & DERMATOLOGIST-TESTED?
FactorFive™ serum has been the product of intensive studies and testing by US scientists. Ingredients are US FDA-approved, certified hypoallergenic & dermatologist-tested. Quality is assured since it’s formulated and made in the USA.

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.

You should have a warm feeling and some slight heat from the treated area for about a few hours after the procedure. Although very rare, you might have some minimal bruising from a treatment, but this should be very light, if any. Treatments require no patient downtime and you can return to work or other normal activities immediately.

ULTHERA™/ ULTHERAPY™ – Breakthrough Ultrasound Treatment for Face, Brow & Neck Lift, Reduction of Double Chin & Jowls, and Decolletage Wrinkle Improvement

WHAT IS ULTHERA™ or ULTHERAPY™?
Ulthera™ or Ultherapy™ is a non-surgical face and neck treatment that uses high intensity focused ultrasound to lift and tone loose skin without any downtime. Effective and with no healing time required, this is the preferred treatment for the busy individual to achieve firmer, tighter and lifted skin.

HOW DOES ULTHERAPY™ WORK?
It delivers focused ultrasound (a form of heat energy) below the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s natural renewal of existing collagen and creation of new collagen. Ultherapy™ targets the deep tissues – the same tissues that are addressed in a surgical facelift – without cutting or disrupting the surface of the skin. This results in a toning and visible lifting of the skin over time.

HOW LONG IS THE ULTHERA™ TREATMENT SESSION?
A full face and neck treatment takes about an hour. When taking pain medication, expect to do this about an hour before treatment begins.

IS ULTHERAPY™ PAINFUL?
Although pain thresholds vary with each individual, expect to feel tolerable discomfort (akin to an electrical tingling) while the energy is being delivered. This is temporary and can be well-managed with topical anaesthesia. We also administer cream anesthetic as well as a potent pain reliever if necessary for the patient’s utmost treatment comfort.

WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS? WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER THE ULTHERA™ TREATMENT?
After an Ultherapy™ treatment, there is rarely any visible effect beyond mild to moderate redness, which usually fades within an hour after treatment. Since there is no wound or injury to the skin, makeup can be applied straight away. Patients can immediately resume their regular daily activities. No specific care is needed after treatment, although you may be asked to avoid sun and some skin products for a period of time after the treatment.

Ulthera™ treatments are simple and straightforward. Expect lifting and toning over the next 2-3 months, as old collagen is renewed and replaced with new and stronger collagen. As this collagen-building process continues, further improvements can appear up to 6 months following a single treatment. Results will last for up to a minimum of 2 years. This article sums up the process and the real results of an Ultherapy™ treatment – http://www.today.com/style/ultherapy-review-cost-mini-lift-without-surgery-non-invasive-I523243 .

HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO I NEED?
Most individuals only need 1 treatment; however, some may benefit from more than one treatment (depending on the degree of skin laxity they have).

BOTOX® Treatment for Wrinkles

Botox® is a toxin produced by a bacteria called Clostridium botulinum. It originally was used to restore a normal voice for people with a vocal chord condition called spasmodic dysphonia. It has also been used to treat uncontrollable eye twitches and embarrassing sweating of the palms and underarms. In the mid 1990’s, plastic surgeons began using Botox injections to treat facial wrinkles.

Botox® will dramatically improve (and often vanish) horizontal forehead creases, scowl lines between your eyebrows, crow’s feet, and vertical wrinkles of your upper lip.

HOW DOES BOTOX WORK?
Dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles, are due to repetitive facial expression. Weakening the muscles responsible for these facial expressions can dramatically improve these wrinkles. With Botox®, these muscles can be weakened without detracting from your facial expressiveness.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN DURING THE PROCEDURE?
As Botox® is being injected, you may experience brief mild discomfort. Following injection, recovery is immediate; you may place make-up and return to work immediately. A few experience mild bruising which improves within a few days.

HOW SOON WILL I SEE RESULTS? HOW LONG WILL THE EFFECTS LAST?
Following the injections, it will take several days before you notice any change in your expression lines. The maximum effect is seen at 2 to 4 weeks. The results should last for 4-6 months. As the Botox® effects wear off, you will begin to notice increased muscle action and some reformation of wrinkles. Reinjections will be needed to maintain your results.

WHAT ARE THE RISKS WITH THIS TREATMENT?
The anticipated risk and discomforts of this treatment are minimal. You may experience temporary redness, bruising, or stinging around the injection sites. In rare cases, you could have a slight lid droop for several days or weeks after the injection. All the reported side effects of the medication have proven to be temporary. Very little of the botulinum toxin is absorbed into the bloodstream. No systemic adverse side effects have been reported from local injection of botulinum toxin at the doses used for facial wrinkles.

CELESTIAL INFUSION™ – New Generation IV Glutathione for Super Fast Skin Lightening with Healthy & Youthful Glow

WHAT IS CELESTIAL INFUSION?

The MT Factor of Celestial Infusion is clinically proven to lighten melasma, freckles, age spots and other skin pigmentations.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF GLUTATHIONE?
Glutathione is a powerful anti-oxidant, and has the following benefits:
* Skin Whitening
* Anti-aging
* Prevent Cancer
* Preserve Memory
* Improvement of Cardiovascular Health

IS HIGH DOSE OF GLUTATHIONE SAFE?
Because it is essential to boosting our immunity, high dose of glutathione is safe and will play a role in helping you avoid infections and other diseases.

WHY IS VITAMIN C NECESSARY FOR WHITENING EFFECT OF GLUTATHIONE?
Studies show that Vitamin C enhances the beneficial effects of glutathione, including its anti-oxidant, anti-aging and skin whitening effects.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF COLLAGEN?
Collagen is a protein found in connective tissues throughout your body, including our skin. As we age, our skin’s inner layer loses collagen and as a result, becomes less supple and firm and more vulnerable to damage. Infusion of collagen will make the skin more supple and more young-looking.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF VITAMIN B COMPLEX?
Some of the benefits of Vitamin B complex include increased energy, improved or more stable moods, healthier skin, hair and eyes. It also serves as a skin-lightening agent. The vitamins are important for proper nervous system and immune system function.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF VITAMIN E?
Vitamin E is a powerful anti-oxidant. Thus, Vitamin E helps improve immunity, preventing diseases like infections and cancer. It helps in the healing process of the skin and scalp through increase circulation. Vitamin E speeds up cell regeneration. This creates an anti-aging effect, which makes the skin look younger.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PLACENTA?
Placenta is touted for its anti-aging benefits since it contains high concentrations of hormones and growth factors (stem cells).

WHAT IS “MT FACTOR?
MT Factor is a proprietary ingredient of Celestial Infusion that blocks melanin formation path induced by ultraviolet rays of the sun, preventing melanin accumulation. Thus, it effectively lightens dark pigmentations including melasma, freckles and age spots.

HOW FAST CAN I SEE THE RESULTS?
Depending on how your body metabolizes the glutathione and other ingredients of Celestial Infusion, you can see results by as little as 1 hour after the infusion.

HOW OFTEN CAN I HAVE THE CELESTIAL INFUSION?
It depends on the amount of skin lightening that you wish to attain, but it can be done every 1 to 4 weeks. Every week treatment for approximately 6 weeks will lighten your skin by as much as 3 to 4 skin tones.

IS THE SKIN LIGHTENING TEMPORARY?
As with other glutathione skin lightening treatments, the effects will fade after 1 month or so if you wouldn’t maintain the treatment or take oral glutathione.
