Scarlet

ScarLet – the hottest treatment on the market and is a new technology that delivers fractional radio-frequency (RF) directly into the dermis through micro-needle electrodes. It is used to stimulate collagen formation in order to improve saggy skin, wrinkles, acne scars, large pores and stretchmarks. Minimal downtime and no pain as well as great safety profile make this treatment very popular among patients with all skin types.
Which Skin conditions can be treated with ScarLet?

• Sagginess of the face, neck and eyelids
• Wrinkles
• Acne scars
• Large pores
• Stretchmarks

What kind of results can I expect?

The results vary between individuals, but most patients report improvement in the skin texture within several days. As it takes some time for your body to produce collagen, the tightening effect and final results are going to appear gradually over six months.

During and After Procedure

The procedure takes 20 to 25 minutes on the face, more on the rest of the body. A topical anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort. When activated, the Fractional Microneedle RF hand piece drives a set of ultra fine needles painlessly into the skin — the depth is preset by the physician according to the area and condition treated.
Within the skin, each needle acts as an electrode to emit RF energy throughout the dermis, generating heat. The heat causes tightening and collagen production.

After Care

Post-treatment, you might see temporary redness and/or mild swelling. This usually lasts only a few hours. You may resume normal activities within hours.
Aftercare is straightforward and consists of a simple moisturizer and sunscreen. You can resume using retinoid or fruit acid products in 5 to 7 days. As always, avoid sunlight.
No serious side effects have been reported for Fractional Microneedle RF. You do not need to take time off work (but feel free!).

Follow Up

We recommend a series of 3 monthly treatments for optimal results. For more serious skin conditions, you may need additional treatments. We advise waiting three months before undergoing the next treatment. This allows your body time to produce collagen for skin tightening.
At our Skin Clinic, we can combine the fractional laser with other treatments for maximum benefits, depending on your condition:

Threads

DO Beauty Lift Threads – the ‘non surgical’ face and neck lift solution, lifting & tightening the skin by stimulating new collagen production, providing resolution of wrinkles, tightening pores, & creating volume.
Lifting treatments that use special threads have been executed for several years. Over these years many different kind of threads appeared onto the market: Silhouette, Aptos, Happy Lift etc. The latest product used in such treatments is called a PDO thread. In contrast to the previously used threads, PDO threads do not have hooks or tapers that raise the tissue. The lifting effect is achieved both by the special threads weave and the substance Polydioxanone (PDO) from which the threads are made. PDO has properties that stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin, thus providing lift and improved skin quality to the area treated.

PDO THREAD LIFT TREATMENT AREAS

• Horizontal and vertical forehead wrinkles
• Lowered outer eyebrow ends
• Flaccid tissue, sagging eyebrows
• Cheeks
• Naso-labial folds (Smile lines)
• Mouth corners (Marionette lines)
• Sagging cheeks and area under the lower jaw
• Jowls
• Double chin
• Skin furrow on the cheek
• Creased cheeks
• Skin furrows and wrinkles on the neck
• Skin furrows and wrinkles on the cleavage

What Are PDO Threads

Polydioxanone has been used in medicine for over 20 years, mainly for absorbable threads used in surgery.
The PDO thread introduction technology is based on using the natural skin tension lines, which also causes an effect similar to a surgical facelift. Thanks to the PDO threads, we can also limit the strength of facial muscles. By introducing the PDO thread in the skin, we get an immediate improvement in its appearance.
The procedure is suitable for most people from 25 onwards, when the effects of ageing become apparent. Ageing causes the skin tissue to thin because the collagen and elastin fibers break down, which results in sagging skin, deep creases, folds and wrinkles

How do PDO Thread Lifts work

PDO Beauty Lift Threads trigger the skins rejuvenation process producing new collagen: lifting and tightening the skin, smoothing wrinkles, tightening up pores and producing volume, giving a more youthful appearance to the skin.
PDO Beauty Lift Threads are broken down slowly and predictably, and so fully absorbed in 180- 240 days.
The application of the threads is minimally invasive and almost painless. A treatment takes up to 50 minutes, leaving no scaring or cuts; any minor redness disappears within a few days, and any bruising within 1-2 weeks.

Are PDO Thread Lifts Safe?

PDO Beauty Lift Threads are CE MARK marked, meaning this product meets all the requirements for CE surgical sutures.

How Long Do PDO thread lifts Last?

The effects last on average from 2-3 years.
