CHEMICAL PEELS

Very superficial chemical peels work to break up inactive cells on the surface of the skin to promote intense exfoliation of the outermost layers of the skin. They are used to treat oily and acne prone skin due to anti-inflammatory effects and ability to penetrate sebum filled follicles to clean out the pores.

You may experience a slight tingling sensation during the treatment and mild redness lasting approximately one day. This treatment can be used on all skin types.

MICRODERMABRASION

This gentle skin resurfacing technique is beneficial for patients with large pores, blackheads and whiteheads. Microdermabrasion comfortably exfoliates the epidermis and polishes the skin to heal acne and promote clearer skin. An increase in circulation aids in reduction of inflammation and redness by offering oxygen and nutrients to new skin cells thus increasing health and strength of the skin. This treatment can be used on all skin types.

LED LIGHT THERAPY

At NOVA Laser & Skin, we use medical grade LED light system. Blue light helps to fight the P.acnes bacteria – the bacteria responsible for causing acne breakouts, while infrared light is anti-inflammatory, reducing redness from inflamed lesions and marks left behind from slow-healing breakouts. It can also promote the production of collagen to aid in repairing enlarged pores. LED light therapy is extremely comfortable and has no downtime, most clients find this treatment very relaxing. This treatment can be used on all skin types.

LASER THERAPY

At NOVA Laser & Skin, we use the Cutera Nd:Yag medical grade, top of the range laser system for acne treatments. We can choose between vascular laser treatment and Cutera’s signature treatment “Laser Genesis”, which effectively treats acne, acne scarring as well as large pores, uneven skin texture and fine lines.

The laser targets the deeper layers of the dermis, thereby reducing redness and inflammation through photo-selective absorption and controlled heating effects. The Nd:YAG laser safely penetrates the skin to an optimal treatment depth to thermally and selectively destroy overactive sebaceous glands. In addition to its thermal penetration effects, the Nd:YAG acne laser treatment also accelerates the healing process and stimulates collagen remodelling, an important step in the long-term treatment of acne and acne scarring. Excellent results can be achieved with a series of treatments with little or no discomfort and downtime. This treatment can be used on all skin types.

ACTIVE & SCARRING ACNE

Acne is a common medical condition, affecting people of almost all ages, peaks usually between the ages of 13 and 17. The face, neck, chest, shoulders and upper back are the main areas affected by acne because they have the highest number of oil glands. Acne usually starts at puberty when increased levels of hormones cause an increase in oil production and size of the glands, hormonal changes later in life in addition to psychological stressor can be cause for adult onset acne.

Family history of acne may be another factor why your skin can be prone to develop this condition as well as environmental factors such as high humidity, skin care products/cosmetics, hair care products and dietary factors.

Acne happens when the oil glands in the pores of the skin become blocked. Hormones make the oil glands produce more oil, also known as sebum and if the pores are blocked, a build-up occurs. This build up known as comedones contributes to the “bumpy” feeling of the skin. When affected by the P.acnes bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes), these pores become infected pustules.

Acne is a medical condition that requires an initial intensive treatment program and long-term maintenance. It can have a significant impact on the quality of life, especially during the teenage years. In some cases, acne also leads to scarring, which can be permanent.

When treating acne, treatment program that targets one or more of these causative factors is required, combination therapy is often needed.

We have packages that have been designed specifically for those wishing to see rapid, long-lasting results. Using a combination of treatments, alongside active cosmeceutical skin care, we can target the cause and visible symptoms of acne.

An initial consultation with our Medical doctor / Aesthetic physician is performed to determine the type and severity of your condition, so personalised acne treatment program can be formulated specially for your needs and best possible outcome.

Laser Therapy​

Our Medical Clinic offers a variety of aesthetic laser treatments using medical grade, state-of-the-art, safe and effective platforms. We use the Cutera Nd:Yag 1064nm laser system and can choose between vascular laser treatment and Cutera’s signature treatment “Laser Genesis”. Every treatment is individually tailored to each client’s unique skin concern.

Both treatments (skin rejuvenation included) will deliver noticeable results, without pain or downtime. During laser treatment, you may feel mild warm feeling, without any major discomfort. After the treatment, mineral make up can be applied and you can go back to your daily activities. Most clients can see immediate results, with improvements in tone, texture and tightness, but multiple treatments are required to reach the full benefit of these effective and comfortable procedures.

Laser therapy can address multiple leading skin concerns. If you have any of the following issues, be sure to schedule a consult with us to see if you might be a good candidate for a personalised aesthetic laser treatment series.

    • Active acne and acne scars
      Acne is a common condition that affects people of all ages. The areas affected most by acne include the face, neck, upper back, shoulders, and chest.
    • Melasma and sun damage
      Melasma and other types of unwanted pigmentation can occur at any age. The main causative factors are sun damage, hormonal changes, certain medications, and scarring.
    • Rosacea and facial redness
      Rosacea is a red rash that appears most often on the faces of women with fair skin tones. Often mistaken for acne, rosacea can cause redness, swelling, pimples, and dilated blood vessels.
    • Enlarged pores
      As we age, genetics, sun damage, and other environmental factors begin to show on our skin, and enlarged pores are one of the most common signs. Laser therapy can reduce their appearance.
    • Unwanted hair
      Unwanted hair on your face or body can affect the way that you feel about yourself and your social interactions. Ask us about permanent hair removal laser treatments.

Treatments

Injectables

If you are looking for the treatment with fast results, then anti-wrinkle injections and/or dermal fillers may be an option for you. These treatments are designed to prevent and treat wrinkles and achieve more youthful and refreshed look. Our experienced Aesthetic physician administers the treatments. Following are three main reasons why our clients consider this treatment option.

Improved confidence
Many of our clients begin to feel self-conscious about the presence of lines and wrinkles on their face. Our anti-wrinkle injectable treatment can provide you with the reassurance that you have been missing. You can walk into a room with your head held high knowing that your skin is supple and smooth.

Little to no downtime
One of the leading reasons why people steer away from cosmetic procedures is because they don’t have the option to take an extended period to recover. The primary benefit of anti-wrinkle treatment is the simple fact that the procedure is non-invasive, which means that there is little to no downtime. Your entire treatment should take less than an hour and, in many cases, you can go back to your daily activities as soon as you are finished.

Fast results
The results of an injectable treatment are usually noticeable immediately (in case of dermal fillers). There may be some temporary soreness or irritation around the injection area, but you will notice a change in your appearance quickly. Your skin will begin to look more refreshed, which will help to bring out your natural beauty.

Remember that the effects of your treatment will not last forever. We recommend that you take the opportunity to schedule your next appointment to maintain your current appearance.

Conditions

UNWANTED HAIR

Unwanted facial and body hair can affect the way we feel, our social interactions, what we wear and what we do.

For reduction of unwanted hairs, both IPL or laser device could be used. To damage the hair follicle, we need to bring lots of heat to it which is created by applying intense light to hair pigment. Laser is more effective in delivering focused heat than IPL because it produces a narrow, concentrated beam of light, but it takes more time to cover the same treatment area.

The best candidates for hair reduction are individuals with darker hair. Light colored hair, such as blonde hair, as well as gray/white hair cannot be successfully treated since the hairs lack the pigment to attract light.

Just as it is so for pigmented spots, the greater the contrast between the base skin color and the hair color, the better the results. So, dark hair on fair skin can be removed most successfully.

Laser and IPL (intense pulsed light) hair reduction is safe, fast, effective and cost effective long-term solution to reduce amount of unwanted hair. It has no down time with little or minimal discomfort. If you are after alternative for shaving, waxing or tweezing, this may be treatment for you.

The area you would like to treat should not be exposed to sun, for at least 2 week prior to the treatment. You should not wax or pluck the area for at least 6 weeks prior to the treatment, use of depilatory creams is also to be avoided. Use of sun screen, as always, is strongly recommended.

Conditions

Rosacea & facial redness

Rosacea is a red facial rash that most often affects women with fair skin, usually between 30 and 60 years of age. This condition can be easily mistaken for acne. Rosacea is a long term skin condition that typically affects the face and results in redness, pimples, swelling, small and superficial dilated blood vessels. Areas affected the most are the nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin. A red, enlarged nose may occur in severe disease, a condition known as rhinophyma. Treatments such as antibiotics or anti-acne medication can control and reduce symptoms. Left untreated, it tends to worsen over time.

The exact cause of rosacea is unknown. There are several theories regarding its origin, including overactive facial blood vessels and inflammation, genetic, environmental, vascular and inflammatory factors. Rosacea is a chronic condition that cannot be cured, but treatment can help relieve symptoms and improve skin appearance.

It is important to avoid trigger factors – anything that causes rosacea to flare – such as sunlight, hairspray, heat, very hot or very cold weather, stress, alcohol, spicy foods, heavy physical exertion. Some women also find hot flushes and menopause aggravate rosacea, but may be also aggravated by many cosmetics and skin care products, and is particularly sensitive to topical steroid preparations. Remember to always wear sun screen.

Conditions

Pigmentation, Melasma & Sun Damage

Unwanted pigmentation and melasma (a condition in which brown or grey patches appear on the face) can occur in people of all ages. Main causes are factors such as sun exposure, hormonal changes which we can see secondary to pregnancy, contraceptive pill, but also acne, acne scarring, skin care regime and some medications.

Hyperpigmentation refers to a skin condition where the skin is darkened or discoloured. It can be caused by excess sun exposure, or skin condition like acne, psoriasis or eczema. Sunlight, acne and skin rashes potentially stimulate melanocytes (pigment producing cells in the skin), to produce more pigment. It will then be pushes into lower layers of the skin, where it does not belong. The deeper the pigment, the more difficult treatment.

Women are more likely than men to develop melasma due to hormonal changes. Brown or grey patches appear more often on the forehead, cheeks, chin and nose. Melasma often fades after pregnancy or after woman stops using hormonal treatment such as contraceptive pills. Pigmentation can be treated with topical prescription brightening agents, medical-grade skin care, chemical peels, laser and light-based therapies (photo-rejuvenation).

At NOVA Aesthetics and Women’s Health Medical Clinic, our trained medical staff will perform skin review of the lesion you are worried about, to make certain no further medical intervention needs to be done prior to your opted treatment.

An initial consultation with Medical doctor / Aesthetic physician is performed to determine the best approach to your skin condition, after which personalized treatment program can be formulated specially for your needs and best possible outcome.
