NOW AVAILABLE AT CORDERM – THERMAGE® FLX SYSTEM – The Latest Innovation in Skin Tightening

WHAT IS THERMAGE®?
The Thermage system® is a non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) therapy uses radiofrequency technology to heat the deeper, collagen-rich layers of the skin. This results in a smoother, tighter and more contoured skin for an overall younger-looking appearance.

WHAT IS THERMAGE® FLX?
Thermage® FLX is the latest innovation from Solta, the makers of Thermage®. Thermage® FLX, like its predecessors, harnesses the power of non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) energy, delivering it deep within the dermis to tighten and remodel existing collagen, and stimulate neocollagenesis. Thermage FLX has better, faster and more comfortable skin tightening treatments. The device still employs Comfort Pulse Technology (CPT™), which uses vibrating pulses in the handpiece to enhance patient comfort, and the enlarged treatment tips allow for faster treatment.

HOW LONG WILL THE THERMAGE® FLX RESULTS LAST?
For most patients, measurable results appear gradually in the two to six months following a single treatment session and can last for 1-2 years depending on your skin condition and aging process.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO I NEED?
Unlike many cosmetic procedures requiring multiple sessions, Thermage® FLX delivers results after ONE TREATMENT SESSION. Best of all, results continue to improve over time.

DOES THE THERMAGE® FLX TREATMENT HURT?
The Thermage® FLX system incorporates vibration on the face and body treatments, which has been shown to provide patient comfort.
You’ll feel a brief heating sensation when the treatment device’s tip touches your skin, followed by a cooling sensation to help protect your skin and minimize any discomfort.

WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THE THERMAGE® FLX TREATMENT?
Some patients have temporary redness or minor swelling after treatment, but this usually goes away within 24 hours.

HOW LONG BEFORE I CAN GET BACK TO MY NORMAL ACTIVITIES?
Most patients return to their regular activities immediately following treatment. No special care is required afterward, aside from basic skin maintenance and sunscreens as part of a regular skincare regimen.

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.

Dermal fillers can be used for many other purposes like for Lip augmentation, Non-surgical Nose Lift, Deep Scars treatment, Neck rejuvenation, Hand rejuvenation, etc. Our dermatologist, Dr. Margaret Corcoran is now using the latest technique using Microcannula to decrease the pain and trauma of needles, and to diminish the downtime like redness, swelling and bruising after the treatment.

THREAD LIFT: Instant Face Lift, V-shaped Face, Nose Lift, Neck Lift & Double Chin Reduction Without the Downtime of Surgery!

WHAT IS THREAD LIFT?
Thread Lift is a procedure which involves elevating different parts of the face using special threads without having to make surgical incisions as with a classic surgical face lift.
It makes use of either the Polydioxanone (PDO) thread or the Polycaprolactone (PCL) thread. Thread Lift is usually performed using a local anaesthetic. Results are instant, even more so after about 3 to 4 weeks. However, the results continue to improve over a 3 to 6 month period as your own collagen begins to grow around the threads aiding the lifting effect. Recovery is generally quick.

IS IT PAINFUL? WHAT IS THE DOWNTIME?
The treatment is virtually painless after the application of local anesthesia. There will be redness and swelling which can last for around 2-3 days. Bruising can also be a possibility which will subside in around 5 to 7 days. Patients may find that facial movement is limited for the first two weeks and it may hurt to laugh or smile.

HOW LONG WILL THE RESULTS LAST?
The threads stimulate natural collagen production while it gradually dissolves over a period of up to 2 years, depending on the type of threads that will be used. The new collagen build up maintains the new enhanced appearance for up to 5 years.

WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER THE THREAD LIFT TREATMENT?
It is very important that you follow the advice of your dermatologist carefully after a thread lift so as not to disrupt the placement of the threads.
Post-surgery advice may include:
1. You can resume normal activities (light walking, sitting up, watching television, using a computer, etc.) within the hour but you should take it easy during the first few days.
2. You should not talk, laugh or smile excessively or make exaggerated facial movements for the first few days.
3. You should not sleep on your face for the first week.
4. You should not shave your face, use chemical peels, scrub it or use harsh cleansers for the first week.
5. You should avoid any strenuous exercise or physical activities for the first week.
6. You should not massage, rub or apply pressure to your face for one month as this could disturb the threads.
7. You should use recommended pain killers as required.
