Mesotherapy is a hair and skin rejuvenation technique that involves micro-injections of vitamins, enzymes, antioxidants, and plant extracts to revitalize hair and skin and remove excess fat. Mesotherapy makes use of very fine needles to deliver the injections into the mesoderm which is the middle layer of the skin. Mesotherapy nourishes and adds hydration to the skin which improves its health and corrects underlying issues damaging the skin such as poor circulation, dehydration, or inflammation.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection is a cosmetic procedure that uses the patient’s own blood to stimulate hair growth, accelerate healing, and rejuvenate the skin. This method is used to treat thinning hair, wrinkles, dark circles under the eyes, sun damage, etc. Facial PRP injection usually brings immediate results in the skin texture, freshness, and tone giving the patient a younger look. PRP could also help treat and prevent hair loss as it promotes new hair growth. 

Botox injection is a popular rejuvenating procedure that involves the injection of botulinum toxin to temporarily paralyze and relax muscles, commonly done on the face to treat facial lines and wrinkles, gummy smiles, etc. Compared to other injectables, Botox can be used to remove a wider variety of wrinkles and aging signs in different areas of the face, treating both large and fine lines. Botox effects usually last about 3 to 4 months. So, to maintain the desired result, treatment should be repeated every 4 months on average. However, as your muscles can be trained to contract less, the effects may last longer over time.

Microneedling is a minimally-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure in which the skin is pricked with tiny needles to trigger a natural healing response, leading to the production of more collagen and elastin, which in turn will improve the overall appearance of the skin. Microneedling can be performed on the face or other parts of the body affected by aging signs such as lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin or other skin conditions such as acne scars or hyperpigmentation. Many people start to see the initial results of a microneedling treatment within a week. The results usually last 3 to 5 months. You may need more than one session depending on the severity of the issue you want to address.

A chemical peel is a cosmetic skin procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to peel the damaged outer layers and stimulate the growth of new skin that is more youthful, brighter, and smoother. Considering the level of penetration, there are three types of chemical peels; light, mild, and deep. The durability of the results depends on the type of peel, among which deep peel is almost permanent but is quite rare. A light peel is the most common one and usually, 3 to 6 treatment sessions with 1-2 months intervals are needed for best results. Results last 1-2 months in the beginning but may last up to 6 months after repeated sessions.

Dermabrasion is an invasive skincare procedure in which the damaged top layers of the skin are scraped away, usually using a device with a rough rotating tip. This causes the skin to repair itself by producing more collagen, revealing new layers that are smoother and healthier. Dermabrasion is used to treat a variety of skin problems such as scars, acne scars, wrinkles, pigmentation issues, uneven skin texture, etc. The procedure is followed by a few days of downtime and the final results appear in around 3 months.

Laser resurfacing is a procedure using ablative or non-ablative lasers to improve the appearance and texture of the skin, used to treat age spots, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, crow’s feet, sagging skin, uneven skin tone, warts, etc. Ablative lasers resurface the skin by removing the top layer, while non-ablative lasers cause vascular lesions to shrink away and stimulate collagen production. The number of required sessions depends on the severity of the concern. You may achieve the desired result in a single session without having to repeat the procedure for years. Yet, more severe issues may need several monthly or yearly sessions.

Tattoo removal surgery is a procedure aimed at removing an unwanted tattoo, performed by cutting out the tissue that contains the tattoo and stitching the surrounding skin back together. Surgical tattoo removal is usually done under local anesthesia. As the area with the tattoo is completely removed in this method, the result is immediate and effective without having to undergo several treatment sessions (compared to other removal techniques). However, surgical tattoo removal leaves a scar on the body and is mostly used for small tattoos only.

Laser tattoo removal is the most common method to remove unwanted tattoos. It’s done by targeting the ink particles under the skin with highly concentrated light waves to break them down into smaller pieces, making it easier for the body to remove them. Tattoos containing several colors may need to be treated by various lasers and different wavelengths. Unlike surgical removal, this procedure does not completely remove the tattoo but makes it significantly lighter and less noticeable. However, several sessions are required to achieve the best results. You’ll usually need 6 to 8 treatment sessions with intervals of 6-8 weeks.

Dermal filler injection is a non-surgical procedure involving the injection of gel-like substances under the skin to smooth out wrinkles and creases, enhance the volume, and improve the contours of the recipient area. Dermal fillers can also help with removing acne scars and restoring facial fat in people with HIV. Except for polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), other FDA-approved types of fillers (Like Hyaluronic acid, Calcium hydroxylapatite, and Poly-L-lactic acid) are all absorbable by the body which renders their effects temporary, usually lasting from 6 to 18 months. Treatment with PMMA may last up to 5 years.

A cheek lift is a procedure that lifts cheeks or the midface area and is used to treat sunken cheeks, sagging midface, and signs of aging on the face. A cheek lift may be combined with a cheek augmentation procedure to bring about bolder results. Besides people with sunken cheeks and a tired aged look, a cheek lift could be a helpful option for those with prominent smile lines. The results may last for 10 years and even more.

Lipoma removal surgery is a minor procedure to remove benign lumps under the skin caused by an overgrowth of fat cells, known as lipomas. Lipomas can occur in any part of the body where fat is present. While the underlying reason is not fully understood, genetic factors seem to be playing an important role as lipomas usually run in families. Most removal surgeries are conducted under local anesthesia. However, if you have a very large lipoma or if it is located in a sensitive area, you may need to receive sedation during the procedure. Treated lipomas usually won’t grow back, but you may grow another one in a different area of your body.

Birthmark removal is a procedure to remove a colored mark present at birth or developed shortly after birth, known as a birthmark. Birthmark removal techniques include surgical removal or shaving of the mark, laser therapy, and using medicines to shrink the marks. While birthmarks present on any part of the body could be removed, people often consider having facial ones treated as they’re more visible and affect their appearance. Most birthmarks can be removed permanently, but some types are likely to grow back and may need to be treated again after months or years.

Scar revision refers to a range of procedures to remove or reduce the appearance of scars on the body and make them blend with the surrounding skin tone and texture. Scar revision treatments could be also corrective to improve an itchy scar or restore the proper function of the body. Depending on the scar type, different revision techniques could be used. Keloid scars can be treated using steroid injection followed by surgical removal if needed. Hypertrophic scars may heal on their own or through steroid application. Contracture scars, often resulting from burns, could be treated using skin grafting, flap surgery, or Z-plasty. 

Sclerotherapy is a procedure in which a solution is injected into blood vessels to make them shrink, performed to treat blood vessel malformations such as varicose or spider veins. The treated veins usually fade in a few weeks but sometimes it takes a month for the results to show up. The related symptoms such as aching, swelling, or bruising could also be improved. Depending on the severity of the condition, several treatment sessions may be needed. While the result of the sclerotherapy is permanent and the treated veins fade away, it does not prevent the development of new varicose or spider veins over time.

Photorejuvenation is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses light-based technology to improve skin tone, texture, and appearance. This treatment targets various skin concerns such as sun damage, age spots, freckles, redness, and uneven pigmentation by delivering pulses of light energy into the skin. Photorejuvenation stimulates collagen production, reduces signs of aging, and promotes skin regeneration, resulting in smoother, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin. It is a popular option for enhancing overall skin health and appearance without surgery or downtime.

An Oxygen facial is a new procedure typically done in a spa or salon in which highly concentrated streams of oxygen are applied to the skin to stimulate collagen production and blood flow for more youthful and wrinkle-free skin. An oxygen facial offers a temporary solution with short-term effects, making it an ideal treatment done 2-3 days before an event such as a wedding ceremony as the results won’t last more than 6 days. Oxygen facials are recommended to be done regularly as maintenance, especially for younger people (those in their 20s). As you age you may find stronger rejuvenation techniques more effective for your concerns.

A Facelift is a surgical procedure that improves aging signs in the face by lifting and tightening sagging skin and sometimes repositioning facial muscles, especially in cheeks and jaw areas. Depending on your condition, a surgeon uses a mini facelift or a standard/conventional technique to address your needs. A mini facelift involves shorter incisions usually around the ears and hidden in the hairline or natural creases to help tighten the skin and remove mild sagging which could be effective for 2-6 years. However, a standard facelift is more extensive aiming to address advanced aging and the results last up to 15 years.

A thread lift is a non-surgical procedure in which absorbable sutures are used to lift and tighten the skin to improve signs of aging. It is commonly done as an alternative to a surgical facelift, brow lift, or other lifting procedures. However, compared to a surgical lift, a thread lift is less invasive and brings about immediate results but of course, they usually last for a shorter time, about 1 to 3 years, depending on the skin type and the patient’s lifestyle.

Mole removal is a procedure to remove a mole with different techniques, including cutting out the mole surgically (for large moles) or using a laser (for small moles). While moles are often harmless, many people may opt for removing them as they affect their appearance or may cause a feeling of discomfort when rubbed against clothes. Mole removal is intended to be permanent and a completely removed mole won’t grow back. However, if a few cells can run away from the removal and remain in the area, they can grow into a mole again.
