Melasma / hormonal pigmentation

What is melasma skin pigmentation?

Melasma is facial pigmentation stimulated by UV radiation and circulating oestrogens from the contraceptive pill, pregnancy and hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Melasma is found on sun-exposed areas of your face including:Cheeks , Upper lip – sometimes creating a moustache appearance , Forehead, and Bridge of the nose.

Melasma is very hard to treat and usually needs a combination of laser, lightening creams, sunscreens etc .

What are the causes of Melasma ?

The cause of melasma is complex. The pigmentation is due to overproduction of melanin by the pigment cells, melanocytes, which is taken up by the keratinocytes (epidermal melanosis) and/or deposited in the dermis. There is a genetic predisposition to melasma, with at least one-third of patients reporting other family members to be affected.

Known triggers for melasma include:

Sun exposure and sun damage—this is the most important avoidable risk factor

Pregnancy—in affected women, the pigment often fades a few months after delivery

Hormone treatments—oral contraceptive pills containing oestrogen and/or progesterone, hormone replacement, intrauterine devices and implants are a factor in about a quarter of affected women

Certain medications (including new targeted therapies for cancer), scented or deodorant soaps, toiletries and cosmetics—these may cause a phototoxic reaction that triggers melasma, which may then persist long term

Hypothyroidism (low levels of circulating thyroid hormone)

Melasma commonly arises in healthy, non-pregnant adults. Lifelong sun exposure causes deposition of pigment within the dermis and this often persists long term. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) deepens the pigmentation because it activates the melanocytes to produce more melanin.

Chin Sculpting using fat dissolving injections

Essentially the treatment involves dissolving fat around the jawline, neck and under the chin using injections. It’s for people who have a double chin or pouch of fat around the jaw but it can be used anywhere on the body .
When injected below the chin, the injection breaks down the fat cells which the body then absorbs and excretes.
Deoxycholic acid is found naturally in the body, aiding in digestion and the absorption of dietary fats. The deoxycholic acid drug substance used in chin sculpting is synthetically derived . It has been used in cosmetic injectables treatments across Europe, USA and now Australia & is TGA approved

After treatment expect the area to swell up quite a bit for a few days before going back to normal . Results will vary from patient to patient .

The treatment itself takes 20 to 40 minutes. At least two treatments are necessary and some clients can see great results after only two treatments.

The procedure isn’t cheap & each treatment will cost approx. $1000 . The good news is that once the fat is dissolved you’re pretty much done though a maintenance injection may be needed after four to five years.

Non Surgical Blepharoplasty ‘ eyelid lift’

This new ‘ Plasma’ technology gives great results with no scalpels and no suturing involved. The excess eyelid skin is sublimated using the plasma beam without damage to the basement membrane, muscle or other underlying structures.

Sublimation which is the process of turning a solid straight into a gas so results are instant and there is no heat transferred to surrounding tissues to cause damage to normal skin. The device uses plasma so there is no electric current which can cause problems for some patients and the treatments result in tissue retraction and tightening which gives even better results.

Treatment consists of multiple shots spaced closely together and the upper, lower or both eyelids can be treated. The procedure normally takes less than 45 minutes to perform.
Following treatment, tiny dark brown/black spots may appear or there may be an appearance more typical of a burn. Swelling is common and often lasts several days and can be quite significant around the eyes. The area will often be red and warm immediately after the procedure and can be quite tender for a few days.
Crusting or a scab can develop and it is important to keep this clean, dry and protected. Sometimes the area can be sloughy. If the area becomes red, hot and tender or if there is pus present, it is important to contact the clinic as this may suggest an infection. It is important to allow any spots or scabs to fall off naturally otherwise scarring or infection may occur. Scarring is a rare complication following treatment.

After treatment we advise keeping the treated area clean, dry and protected using a broad spectrum sunscreen. Mineral make-up may be applied. Avoid exposing the area to extremes of heat or cold until it has healed. If any doubt, contact the clinic for further advice.

It is essential to keep the treatment area clean, dry and protected with a broad spectrum sunscreen. Do not use alcohol based cleansers. Do not apply a plaster or an occlusive dressing over the area.

Final results usually depend on severity of skin laxity or size of lesion, the desired result, the general condition of the skin and any pre-existing skin or medical problems.As the treated skin is sublimated, the results often last years or permanently.

Results are seen instantly although the best appearance is seen after 3 weeks. 2-3 treatments at 8 weekly intervals are often required to give good results .

Pricing starts from $1399 onwards

Silhouette Soft thread lift is a non-surgical face-lift using absorbable sutures to lift and volumise the face and neck without the down time and invasiveness of a surgical facelift.

We use the silhouette soft threads to lift and sculpt numerous areas: Contouring of the face , Lifting of the lower jaw reducing the appearance of jowls and marionette lines , Cheeks – decreasing the heavy naso-labial folds and restoring contour, Neck – lifting sagging skin and reducing the appearance of ‘turkey neck’

The procedure takes between 45-60 minutes and performed under local anaesthesia under sterile conditions. There is risk of bruising, swelling & infection and usually a few days downtime

What sets the Silhouette Soft thread lift apart from other types of thread lifts is that it works in two different ways 1. There is a Lifting action for immediate results – the skin is pulled & kept in position by the anchoring cones. 2. Following this there is stimulation of collagen production which can further improve contours of the face, volume loss, improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles and refresh the skin.

Pricing starts from $1949/- onwards
