From Flabby to Fabulous: Transformative Body Tightening Procedures

Non-invasive body tightening procedures provide a reliable solution for individuals looking to firm their skin without surgery. These advanced techniques effectively target areas with moderate skin laxity, like the face, neck, and other parts of the body, giving patients noticeable aesthetic improvements.

Why consider non-surgical skin tightening?

As we age, our bodies produce less collagen and elastin—the proteins responsible for keeping skin smooth, firm, and tight. This decrease leads to loose, sagging skin on the face, neck, and body. If you’re concerned about skin laxity, non-surgical skin tightening can slow down this process, giving you a firmer, smoother, and more youthful look with minimal downtime.


Benefits of Non-Surgical Skin Tightening

  • Tightens mildly to moderately loose skin on the face, neck, or body without surgery or scarring.
  • Many treatments can provide a noticeable “lifting” effect.
  • Requires little to no downtime.
  • Very low risk of side effects when performed by a qualified provider.
  • Treatments can be done in-office, usually within an hour or less.
  • Results can last up to 1 year.

Limitations of Non-Surgical Skin Tightening

  • It is not effective for more advanced skin sagging, such as severe loose or stretched skin following pregnancy or weight loss.
  • Results appear gradually over several weeks or months after treatment.
  • Multiple sessions may be needed to achieve optimal results.
  • To maintain results, periodic treatments are necessary.

Am I a good candidate for non-surgical skin tightening?

Non-surgical skin tightening is generally ideal for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who, unlike those requiring more invasive procedures, don’t need a significant skin lift or removal through cosmetic surgery.

However, while this procedure typically has minimal side effects, it may not be suitable for everyone. For example, individuals who are pregnant, on specific medications, or dealing with particular medical conditions should exercise caution.

Ultimately, the best way to determine if non-surgical skin tightening is the right option for you is to consult with an experienced cosmetic surgeon, who can guide you based on your unique situation.

Non-surgical skin tightening treatments & technologies

Below are the most common technologies currently available in Dubai:

1.Ultrasound skin tightening

Some skin tightening treatments utilize focused ultrasound energy to heat the skin at specific depths (up to 5 millimeters) and locations, stimulating collagen production and helping to firm the skin. These treatments are performed using a handheld device that transmits ultrasound waves through the skin’s surface. Ultrasound technology has been used in medicine for several decades, and skin tightening with ultrasound boasts an excellent safety profile. It is effective for older patients seeking non-surgical facelifts as well as for younger patients looking to maintain their skin profile and prevent skin laxity as they age.

Quick Facts about Ultrasound Skin Tightening:

  • Ultrasound, the most widely used brand, has FDA approval for treating the brow, chin, neck, and chest.
  • It is the best option for patients who want to address early signs of aging on the face and neck.
  • It can help delay the need for facelift surgery.
  • Treatment lasts between 30 and 90 minutes and requires no downtime.
  • Patients may experience temporary discomfort during the delivery of ultrasound energy.
  • Side effects are usually mild and may include temporary redness, bruising, and numbness.
  • Results become visible within 2 to 3 months and can last up to a year with proper at-home skin care.

2.Radiofrequency (RF) treatments

Radiofrequency (RF) energy can also heat the skin and stimulate collagen production. Unlike ultrasound, RF targets the epidermal layers to create a firmer and smoother appearance. Treatments include brands like Profound RF, Exilis, Morpheus 8, Renuvion, and Thermage. Similar to ultrasound therapies, RF treatments effectively smooth and tighten the skin in older patients while also delaying the need for surgical lifts in younger patients.

Quick Facts about RF Skin Tightening:

  • RF skin tightening options treat the face, neck, hands, and body.
  • You can perform treatments in-office, which usually cause minimal discomfort and require no downtime.
  • Most RF-only treatments remain safe for all skin types.
  • Some procedures, such as EmbraceRF, involve “subdermal” techniques and require a very small incision using local anesthesia.
  • Patients will notice gradual results that improve in the months following treatment due to RF’s ability to stimulate collagen production.
  • RF microneedling is a new technology that enables surgeons to combine the benefits of microneedling and RF, enhancing collagen and elastin stimulation while treating deeper skin layers.
  • Doctors may recommend a series of 2 to 6 treatments for optimal results.

Combining IPL/RF treatments

The third category of skin tightening treatments combines intense pulsed light (IPL) with radiofrequency (RF) to heat deeper layers of the skin and induce a natural healing response, which in turn promotes collagen production. By adding IPL, the provider can address a wide range of skin and dermatological conditions, while RF energy can focus on treating deeper skin layers. These combined non-surgical skin care treatments are highly effective as they can address multiple concerns in a single procedure. Common treatments include Venus Versa and VelaShape.

Quick Facts about IPL/RF Combination Treatments:

  • An IPL device emits multiple wavelengths of light to simultaneously treat a variety of skin conditions.
  • Providers can perform treatments in-office, usually with little to no downtime.
  • Patients typically experience minimal discomfort.
  • Results gradually appear as the skin produces new collagen.
  • A series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results.
  • IPL treatments may not be suitable for darker or tanned skin.

In general, completely non-invasive skin tightening treatments can be safely performed by a licensed beauty professional, trained provider, or registered nurse working under a physician’s supervision. Subcutaneous treatments that require incisions, such as EmbraceRF, should only be conducted by a qualified cosmetic surgeon or a provider with similar training and experience.

Profhilo: The Revolutionary Anti-Aging Skin Treatment

If you desire healthy, radiant skin, Profhilo is the best skin treatment for you. As you age, the levels of collagen, fat, and elastin in your skin significantly decrease. This loss of volume leads to the appearance of fine lines and a dull complexion. Profhilo, an injectable moisturizer, can address all these skin concerns and bring you healthy, nourished, and glowing skin. 

But what exactly is Profhilo treatment? Profhilo is an injectable skin rejuvenation treatment that targets dullness, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. This treatment uses a combination of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid. In fact, it contains one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid (64 mg/2 mL) available on the market, restoring natural radiance to your skin.

How Does Profhilo Treatment Work?

While numerous injectable products are available to fill in wrinkles or enhance skin volume, Profhilo directly addresses the underlying causes of these concerns. Its gradual release of hyaluronic acid stimulates collagen and elastin production, enhancing skin tone and hydration and reducing visible signs of aging.

During a Profhilo treatment, hyaluronic acid is injected just beneath the skin’s surface, where it quickly spreads and interacts with your tissues, delivering immediate hydration. The procedure typically involves five injections on each side of the face or ten in the neck area. Over the subsequent weeks, this process promotes collagen and elastin production, resulting in a tightening effect on the skin. Ultimately, Profhilo helps you achieve a hydrated and radiant complexion.

What Areas can be Treated Using Profhilo?

Profhilo treatment can be utilized for multiple areas of the body. Here are the areas where Profhilo treatment can be applied:

  • Face
  • Neck
  • Décolletage
  • Hands
  • Arms
  • Knees
  • Elbows

Who Would Benefit from Profhilo Treatment?

Profhilo is an effective and safe treatment option for both men and women. If you desire any of the following results, this treatment is worth considering:

  • Overall lifting
  • Enhanced firmness and volume
  • Radiant complexion
  • Improved skin tone and texture
  • Boosted collagen production
  • Well-hydrated skin

What to Expect from the Treatment

Before the Procedure

Before the treatment, the dermatologist will evaluate your medical history and discuss your skin goals. This assessment helps you make an informed decision, as the dermatologist will explain the procedure, its benefits, potential risks, and post-care requirements.

During the Procedure

Once your skin is clean and prepared, you’ll receive ten subcutaneous injections of Profhilo. As the injected hyaluronic acid spreads quickly beneath the skin, it eliminates the need for massage and minimizes the risk of lumps or nodules. If any visible lumps appear, they should resolve within 24 hours as your skin absorbs the product.

After the Procedure

After treatment, you may experience some sensitivity during the first 24 to 72 hours. Additionally, slight bruising might occur. However, you don’t need to worry because both sensitivity and bruising will subside over time.

Is There Any Downtime?

Fortunately, Profhilo treatment involves minimal downtime. Since this procedure is non-invasive, you can quickly return to your daily routine. However, keep the following precautionary measures in mind:

  • First, avoid intense sun exposure or ultraviolet rays for the first few days after treatment.
  • Second, refrain from wearing makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
  • Additionally, avoid exercise, swimming, and any other strenuous activities for 24 hours, as these can disrupt the Profhilo treatment and reduce its effectiveness.
  • Furthermore, steer clear of saunas and steam rooms for a few days.
  • Lastly, avoid frequent touching of the treated area.

How Many Profhilo Sessions Are Needed?

To achieve optimal results, we recommend at least two Profhilo treatment sessions. These injections take place just beneath the skin and should be spaced four weeks apart. If you have older skin, an additional session may be beneficial to address stubborn signs of aging or prominent skin issues. After completing the initial two or three sessions, consider repeating the treatment every six months to maintain your results.

Clear Skin Laser Treatment: Achieve Radiant, Flawless Skin

The ClearSkin laser effectively targets and treats all forms of acne and acne scars. This vacuum-cooled laser not only addresses various types of acne, such as papules, pustules, and nodules, but also promotes gentle skin rejuvenation. Moreover, it reduces the appearance of both acne and acne scars by stimulating collagen production.

As an FDA-approved acne treatment, our team of skincare specialists fully understands its benefits in helping you regain your confidence. At Ivory Aesthetic Clinic, we recognize that acne and acne scars can significantly affect self-esteem, often leading individuals to feel compelled to hide their skin.

Clear Skin Lase Treats:

  • Acne
  • Enlarged pores
  • Blackheads
  • Acne scars
  • Blocked pores
  • Dull skin
  • Sun-damaged skin

How Does the ClearSkin Laser Treatment Work?

The ClearSkin laser treatment utilizes a combination of non-ablative laser wavelengths and vacuum technology. These two aspects work simultaneously to target acne at its source and provide long-lasting results.

The laser penetrates deep into the skin to target the sebaceous glands. This process helps reduce sebum production, which can clog hair follicles and lead to acne and blemishes. Following this, the vacuum cleans the area, removing the dirt that has blocked the pores. As a result, the increase in collagen production helps reduce the appearance of acne scars and contributes to smoother skin.

Is There any Downtime?

You’ll experience minimal downtime, which means you can quickly return to your normal daily activities right after the treatment. Most patients feel comfortable resuming work, exercise, and social events without significant interruptions. While you may notice some mild redness or sensitivity in the treated area, these effects usually subside within a short time, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of the treatment without a lengthy recovery period.

Effective Dark Circle Treatment That Actually Works

Ever wonder why your eyes seem to age faster than the rest of your face? Dark eye circles, signs of fatigue and aging, can be more than a cosmetic concern. They reveal deeper insights into our skin’s health and vitality. As we age, the delicate skin around our eyes becomes thinner, making our blood vessels more prominent and leading to the appearance of dark circles under eyes.

What causes dark circles?

The factors causing dark eye circles include genetic predispositions that determine skin thickness and pigmentation, which can influence how prominent dark circles appear. As we age, the skin naturally loses collagen and elasticity, becoming thinner and more susceptible to showing signs of fatigue and aging.

Lifestyle habits also play a crucial role. Chronic lack of sleep, stress, and environmental factors such as sun exposure contribute to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

While skincare products are effective for daily maintenance, professional treatments provide long-term solutions. Restylane Skinbooster is a treatment using hyaluronic acid (HA) to improve skin quality. It provides deep hydration, reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. One of the key advantages of this skin booster is that it’s a safe treatment with minimal downtime.

Benefits of Restylane Skin Booster Dark Circle Treatment

Restylane Skinboosters offer several benefits for under-eye dark circle treatment:

  1. Deep Hydration: Hyaluronic acid locks in moisture, providing immediate and long-lasting hydration to plump the under-eye area and reduce the appearance of hollows.
  2. Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Stimulates collagen production, improving skin elasticity and smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
  3. Even Skin Tone: Helps to diminish pigmentation and discoloration, resulting in a more uniform and radiant skin tone.
  4. Improved Skin Texture: Improves overall skin texture, making the under-eye area appear smoother and more youthful.

Restylane Skinboosters are available in variations for different skin types and are administered using a SmartClick syringe system for precise application. The treatment involves multiple sessions spaced over months for optimal results. It improves under-eye skin texture, reduces dark circles, and enhances overall skin appearance with immediate results lasting up to a year.

By opting for professional treatments, and adopting healthy lifestyle practices into your daily routine, you can achieve brighter, more youthful eyes that radiate confidence. 

It is recommended to consult with a dermatologist or skin care professional to determine the most suitable treatment plan based on your specific skin type and concerns.

Book an appointment with our aesthetic specialist at Ivory Aesthetics Clinic today and start your journey to brighter and younger-looking skin under your eyes.

How Sculptra Bio-Stimulating Filler Turns Back the Clock on Aging

Are you tired of wrinkles, sagging skin, and facial volume loss? Say goodbye to these concerns with Sculptra™ Bio Stimulator Filler! This innovative injectable filler is specially designed to rejuvenate your skin from within, helping you achieve firmer, more youthful skin.

What is Sculptra™?

Sculptra™ is an advanced dermal filler containing poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a bio stimulator that encourages your body to produce more collagen naturally. Collagen is the key protein responsible for maintaining the skin’s structure and elasticity, resulting in a smoother, more radiant appearance.

Which areas can be treated?

Sculptra™ is highly versatile and can address various concerns, including facial volume loss, wrinkles, and skin laxity. It’s commonly used on areas like the cheeks, temples, jawline, décolletage, thighs, and abdomen.

When can I see the results of Sculptra™ treatment?

The results can last for an extended period, often up to two years or more, because it promotes the natural production of collagen.

However, maintenance treatments may be needed to sustain the benefits.

How is the Sculptra™ treatment done?

Dr. Oro, our aesthetic specialist will mark the treatment areas and then strategically inject Sculptra™ beneath the skin’s surface using a fine needle. Multiple sessions may be required, depending on your desired outcome.

Why Exion is the Go-To Treatment for Skin Laxity and Wrinkles

Are you noticing loose skin or stubborn fat pockets in the bra line, love handles, or banana rolls? With EXION’s advanced technology, these areas can be effectively reduced. With time, our body’s ability to produce hyaluronic acid decreases. This has a significant impact on your skin quality. Low levels of HA can lead to loss of skin hydration, volume and consequently increase the appearance of wrinkles.

Get a smoother and contoured appearance with EXION

Exion body applicator is a complete body solution for firm skin and localized fat reduction. The treatment works by combining monopolar radiofrequency and targeted ultrasound technology that stimulates the body’s natural production of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin. With active cooling, the treatment protects your skin and allows the radio frequency heating to reach fat cells below.

Why Choose EXION?

  • Non invasive 
  • Suitable for any age or skin type 
  • No downtime

The treatment is known to be highly comfortable and relaxing. While you may feel some warmth in the area being treated, it’s mostly painless.

Benefits of EXION

  • Stimulates collagen and elastin production
  • Increases blood circulation
  • Minimizes stubborn pockets of fat
  • Reduces skin laxity

What areas can be treated with Exion?

The treatment covers a total of 14 areas across the body including arms, abdomen, love handles and banana rolls.

How many sessions do I need?

Depending on your desired aesthetic goals, we may recommend 6 to 8 sessions. You will see results in about 6-12 weeks following your last body treatment. Once you have completed the initial course of Exion, we suggest having a single maintenance session every 3 months to maintain your results.

The best results can usually be seen around 3 months after the treatment.

How Face and Body Acupuncture Can Enhance Your Wellbeing

Are you looking for a natural way to improve the appearance of your skin and address skin disorders?

Acupuncture may be the answer you’re looking for.

Acupuncture is a safe and cost-effective cosmetic procedure with a two-thousand-year history. It is a holistic approach to skin care that addresses the root cause of skin problems, rather than just treating the symptoms. Acupuncture can be applied to both the face and body, simultaneously during a single treatment session.

In facial acupuncture, the needles are inserted into acupoints on the face to target specific areas of concern such as fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and acne. The needles may also be inserted around the scalp and ears, as these areas influence facial appearance and skin health.

Acupuncture for the body typically involves targeting acupoints located on the limbs, abdomen, back, and other areas corresponding to specific health concerns or conditions. Body acupuncture can address a wide range of issues including pain, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, stress, and more.

Acupuncture works by balancing the energy system of internal organs, which can have a significant impact on the appearance of the skin. It can help to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and stimulate collagen production.

Acupuncture is a long-term solution for skin care, but it is not a quick fix. However, the benefits of acupuncture are well worth the wait.

 

Benefits of Acupuncture for Skincare:

  • Improves skin tone and texture
  • Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
  • Promotes collagen production
  • Soothes itching and reduces redness
  • Helps to heal wounds
  • Reduces stress levels
  • Reduces the appearance of acne and acne scars

 

What to expect during the Acupuncture treatment?

The treatment involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body known as acupuncture points or acupoints. These points are located along channels or meridians through which qi (vital energy) flows according to traditional Chinese medicine theory. During the session, our skilled acupuncturist delicately places 10 to 40 tiny, virtually painless needles on your face. The number of needles varies depending on the client. These tiny punctures create what we call ‘positive microtraumas’ within your skin’s threshold. Think of it as a signal to your body to kickstart the repair process.

Unlike the more intense approach of microneedling, which involves hundreds of pricks from a rolling device, Acupuncture is milder, averaging about 50 punctures.

These precise punctures work like magic.

They awaken your lymphatic and circulatory systems, a dynamic duo that nourishes your skin cells with essential nutrients and oxygen, igniting your skin’s natural glow from within.

 

Does Acupuncture help with Skin Rejuvenation?

YES. Acupuncture stimulates blood flow to the skin, delivering oxygen, nutrients, and immune cells that promote cellular repair and regeneration. Enhanced circulation also helps remove toxins and waste products from the skin, resulting in a clearer, more radiant complexion.

Acupuncture needles inserted into specific points on the face and body can stimulate fibroblast activity, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. Increased collagen production helps to firm and tone the skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and improve overall skin texture and elasticity.

Acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural detoxification processes, including the lymphatic system and liver function. By removing toxins and impurities from the body, acupuncture can help purify the skin from the inside out resulting in a rejuvenated skin texture.

For best results, we recommend 6 sessions of Acupuncture over a period of 1-2 months.

Each treatment plan is tailor-made based on the individual needs of the patient during the consultation session.

Why Fillers and Injectables Are Getting Popular

In today’s world, the buzz around fillers and injectables seems to be everywhere. From social media influencers to our closest friends, it appears that everyone is embracing injectables as a means to enhance their appearance. But what’s driving this trend? Is it merely about chasing after beauty ideals, or is there something deeper at play?

At Ivory Aesthetics Clinic, we believe that the rise in popularity of fillers and injectables goes beyond just vanity. It’s about empowering oneself to feel confident and comfortable in their own skin. In a society where beauty standards are constantly evolving, many of us feel the pressure to conform to certain ideals. And while there’s nothing wrong with wanting to enhance our features or combat the signs of aging, it’s essential to do so in a way that feels authentic and true to ourselves.

Our expert medical aesthetician Dr. Oro understands that beauty is not one-size-fits-all. At Ivory, we’re all about enhancing your natural beauty and helping you achieve your aesthetic goals while still looking like you – just a refreshed, rejuvenated version. During our treatments, Dr. Oro employs a special technique to inject hyaluronic acid into the skin, providing natural-looking results that enhance your features without altering your unique appearance.

But let’s address the elephant in the room: the misconceptions surrounding injectables. One of the most common concerns is the fear of looking artificial or “frozen.” However, modern advancements and nuanced applications have dispelled these notions. By utilizing techniques that work with the natural contours of your face, we ensure that your results are subtle, yet impactful.

Whether you’re looking to smooth out wrinkles, plump up your lips, or restore lost volume, we’ve got you covered. But here’s the thing: while fillers and injectables can work wonders when done right, it’s crucial to approach them with caution. Going overboard with injectables can lead to unnatural results and potential risks. That’s why it’s essential to seek guidance from a qualified medical aesthetician who understands your unique needs and concerns.

So if you’ve been considering fillers or injectables, remember: it’s okay to want to enhance your beauty, but it’s equally important to do so responsibly. With the right guidance and expertise, you can achieve the radiant, confident look you’ve always dreamed of.
