Cannula

With Cannulas you need to make a pilot hole because a cannula has a blunt tip.

Using cannula threads can help minimise the risk of tissue trauma. A cannula is more flexible than a needle and can help find a clear path through the tissue with just a single entry.

Needles are sharp. The blunt tip of a cannula can safely push through the skin structure without causing damage to the blood vessels.

Platysmal Bands

Platysma bands are the vertical cords that appear in the neck. Some studies suggest that platysma bands are the result of sagging skin and a loss of muscle tone.

The platysmal bands are the two muscles that are located on both sides of your neck. Since the neck has a much thinner layer of skin than the face and the skin around your neck naturally loses fat deposits and collagen as you get older, these muscles usually become increasingly visible over time.

TCA Peel

TCA Peel Benefits

 

A wide variety of chemical peels are available today for use in office and also at home. Each acid can generally treat more than one type of issue, but is commonly used for a particular reason. TCA is special! It is considered “the gold standard” of all peels and is able to treat every skin type, issue and coloration. It can be used superficially in very mild percentages (10%-20%), and also for medium depth peels (up to 35% *Office only). It can be used incombination with other acids, such as Jessners or applied alone.

 

TCA is a highly regarded acid and is perfect for treating the following common issues:

  • Blemishes
  • Skin Tone Irregularities
  • Texture Problems
  • Age Spots – hyperpigmentation – epidermal and some dermal melasma
  • Fine Wrinkles
  • Scarring and Acne Scars – icepick, rolling

All skin types can benefit from TCA peeling. But, persons that are prone to post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation, or have a naturally darker skin tone, will need special pre-treatmentto avoid any unintended color changes in the skin. These are generally fitzpatrick 4, 5, and 6, but any type could potentially have an issue.

 

One of the most important benefits of TCA is plumper, sturdier skin. There is an ongoing process of dermal remodeling that results in “Neocollageneses” or new collagen, after about the six week mark.
