Treatments
Choose what brings you here. The clinic explains each condition and treatment on its own site, and the dermatologist picks the method for your skin type.
For Acne in teenagers and adults, including acne on the chin and around the mouth that does not go away.
Options include topical and oral medication taken under the doctor's observation, scaling with mild acids, photodynamic therapy and IPL, chosen for your skin.
For Acne and the marks it leaves.
The Cellin 6-session program is weekly or every two weeks: cleansing, full extraction, scaling and soothing. The intensive 6-session program is weekly for the first month, then every two weeks, with a laser or other treatment added as your skin needs.
For Acne scars with different shapes and depths.
The clinic uses CROSS (dot peeling) and dermal excision, and may inject PLLA or hyaluronic acid. It says ice-pick scars resist treatment, but CROSS may bring some improvement.
For Scars that are raised, red or itchy, including after surgery.
Steroid injections into the scar, every 2 to 4 weeks over 4 to 5 months, and a vascular laser for redness. The clinic says a scar cannot be removed completely, but it can be made less noticeable. It notes that steroid injections can lighten or thin the skin.
For Acne scars of several kinds on one face.
Combines dermal excision, CROSS and a laser for each scar, with a fractional laser to improve overall tone and skin.
For Small brown spots of 1 to 5 mm that sit near the surface.
A laser that targets the melanin cells in the outer layer of skin. The clinic says these spots are not deep, and they can darken in summer.
For Pigment that spreads over the forehead, cheekbones and chin.
Mainly laser toning, with IPL used very carefully, peeling, and oral or topical medicine. The clinic says melasma is hard to remove completely, so treatment and care aim to keep it under control.
For Dark marks left after injury or inflammation.
These often fade over 2 to 6 months and sometimes take up to 2 years. Ointments or laser toning can help them fade sooner.
For Moles you want removed.
CO2 or erbium laser. The clinic says very deep moles may need several sessions, and treatment stops at the depth where the skin can still regenerate.
For Expression lines on the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes. Also square jaw and calf volume.
The clinic starts with a small dose and tops up after one week. It describes a maintenance visit every 3 to 4 months. A diluted skin-booster method is also offered for fine lines and pores.
For Under-eye hollows, neck lines, volume of the cheeks and chin, or a nose you want lifted without surgery.
Hyaluronic acid. The clinic uses a blunt-tipped cannula in areas without large vessels, and describes risks such as blocked vessels and infection.
For Loose skin and fine lines.
Heat energy reaches the deep layer of the skin and prompts collagen to renew. The clinic says it is less painful than ultrasound.
For Skin that needs a stronger lift.
Ultrasound is focused in the deep layers. The clinic says it lifts more strongly than radiofrequency, with more discomfort, and often combines the two.
For People who want vitamin and mineral supplementation by intravenous drip.
An intravenous mix of vitamin C, B1, B5, B6, B12 and magnesium. The clinic describes it as delivering nutrients straight to the cells.
For People who want vitamin D without relying on diet or sunlight.
The clinic suggests an injection about every 3 months, since many products in the market do not contain vitamin D.
For Acne, to help avoid marks and scars.
Extraction without damaging the tissue. 1 to 1.5 hours, once a week, 5 to 10 sessions or more. The doctor injects inflamed spots after extraction.
For Melasma, spots, freckles and a dull complexion.
Vitamin C is delivered with iontophoresis, and ultrasonic vibration carries in a whitening ointment and a regenerating ointment. About 1 hour, once a week, 5 to 10 sessions.
For Redness and sensitive skin after acne treatment.
An ionised regenerating solution made from plant protein is delivered deeper into the skin. About 1 hour, 5 to 10 sessions or more.
For Itchy, stinging or flaking skin from contact or atopic dermatitis, or from a change of season.
A soothing treatment of about 30 minutes. When symptoms are strong, every 2 to 3 days until they improve.
For Enlarged pores, oily skin, blackheads and fine lines.
Electrical stimulation reduces oil production and stimulates collagen. 1 to 1.5 hours, 5 to 10 sessions.
For Dry, dehydrated skin.
Water and nutrients for dry skin. About 1 hour, once or twice a week.
