SAGGY SKIN

Restore skin for a fuller, more youthful appearance

Lines and wrinkles aren’t the only signs of ageing, facial volume loss is another age giveaway. Our anti-ageing skin treatments can help restore youthful fullness to your face.  


As we get older, our muscle structure begins to change, and the fat pads beneath our skin start to change position resulting in a loss of facial volume. This can cause some of the below. 


•Cheeks flatten and fall into a lower position, causing skin to droop and sag around the muscle

•Smile lines (nasolabial folds)

•Jowls

•Loss of lip volume, reducing fullness and definition


Fortunately, anti-ageing skin treatments can help correct age-related volume loss.



RECOMMENDED TREATMENTS

At Skin Codes, we have a range of skin treatments to target facial volume loss for plumper, younger looking skin. Dermal filler helps to instantly restore your skin’s volume and smooth away fine lines and wrinkles. Other recommended treatments:


1.Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment

PRP is an innovative non-surgical treatment that can be used for a wide range of ailments, helping to relieve pain and naturally promoting the long-lasting healing of various conditions from musculoskeletal issues, reduction of scarring and the promotion of hair growth and facial rejuvenation.


How does PRP Treatment work?

A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient into a sterile tube in the exact same manner as a standard blood sample. The tube containing a patient’s blood is placed into a centrifuge and spun to separate the plasma and platelets from the other blood components.

After a few minutes, the plasma and concentrated platelets are removed from the same tube and re-introduced into the patient at the site of the injury, scar, skin, obvious lines or wrinkles. Using a small sterile needle, your physician will inject the PRP in and around the desired site.

2.PDO (Thread lift)

What is a PDO Thread Lift?

This rejuvenating aesthetic treatment uses a synthetic absorbable suture made from polydioxanone (PDO) to lift and tighten loose or sagging skin, improve facial contour, and reduce facial wrinkles and folds. The PDO threads help stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen, which will be left behind when the threads are absorbed by the body four to six months after injection. The newly generated collagen will help improve the elasticity and tone of the skin and provide a lasting improvement to the treated area.


Benefits of a PDO Thread Lift:

•Minimal downtime

•Non-surgical

•Quick treatment sessions

•Instant results

•Stimulates the natural production of collagen


What can I expect during a treatment session?

We will apply a topical numbing cream to the designated treatment area prior to a treatment session to reduce any discomfort associated with the injection process. PDO thread lift treatments can last for anywhere between 20 minutes and one hour depending on the area being treated. There is little to no downtime associated with this treatment and most patients can immediately return to their normal activities after a treatment session.


When will I see results?

You will see an immediate improvement in the treated area after a treatment session. The results of this treatment will continue to improve as the PDO threads stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen, with final results appearing about three to four months after your treatment session. Results of a PDO thread lift can last for up to two to three years. Results may vary.
