Facial Rejuvenation Melbourne

Our face, neck and hands tend to show the most obvious signs of ageing, and can often benefit from facial rejuvenation treatments. As the hands and face are unclothed, they’re particularly vulnerable to sun exposure, loss of dermal volume and elasticity. As a result, the skin can pigment and shrivel, revealing underlying veins, tendons and bone structures.

At ENRICH, our facial rejuvenation treatments can treat the skin on the hands as well as the face and body. We offer a range of topical treatments and lasers to treat pigmentation and improve skin quality and volume. Our dermatologists, cosmetic doctors and nurses will assess your concerns to select the best choice of technologies and application techniques for your facial rejuvenation.

Treatments are tailored to address pigmentation, skin wrinkling and smoothness, as well as to replace lost volume by plumping up the tissue. Because we have so many different lasers and treatment options at ENRICH, we are able to select the treatment that will best suit your individual situation and budget.

Facial rejuvenation via laser

Sometimes, our skin needs to be refreshed in more invasive ways, which may mean getting ablative lasers involved. An ablative laser takes off the top layer(s) of skin, revealing fresh, new skin underneath. Ablative lasers do include some downtime since the skin has to heal.

Lasers are targeted to very specific wavelengths and are therefore very useful for very specific tasks. Each laser has its own uses, with some very proficient at stripping away damaged or blemished skin to reveal a whole new, fresh layer underneath.

Suture Lifts and Thread lifts.

The sutures create a sling underneath the facial skin that acts as a support and lifting the skin. There are only two small incisions in the skin, with one of those tucked behind the ear, and the other disguised in the scalp. This means most marks are not visible.

The structure lift  works equally well on both men and women, but results can differ between patients as we all have individual skin profiles. 

After treatment, some bruising may occur with some swelling. The skin will settle over a couple of days. Treatments can last for up to 18 months, and then they can be refreshed, or the more comprehensive step to get a suture lift can be taken.

The thread lift is  skin rejuvenation procedure that will help pep up the ageing face by introducing absorbable medical threads. 

Thread lifts use a very fine needle to insert threads under the skin, to about 5mm. It is held in place by absorbable cones, after which the doctor compresses the skin slightly to get the desired shape and lift. The ends of the suture are snipped.

Both these “lifts” are still invasive treatments. It is a  skin rejuvenation and facial rejuvenation procedure that also offers some tightening.
