“Home away from home” this is how lady about town, Caroline Stanbury, has described Lucia Clinic in her newly introduced weekly in Hello! Magazine Middle East.
Ever since her move to Dubai, the former Ladies of London star, Caroline Stanbury, has been more than a regular at Lucia Clinic.
A dear friend of Dr. Radmila Lukian, this modern mum of three, is set to re-define our modern female role-model.
To combat the signs of aging and improve the appearance of their skin, people opt for various cosmetic procedures, both surgical and non-surgical, which have proven to be the most successful ones. Ultherapy is certainly one of those procedures known to deliver the desired results. In fact, 67% of those who underwent the treatment expressed their satisfaction with the results visible 90 days after the procedure.
Ultherapy is a highly effective and non-invasive skin lifting and tightening treatment which uses innovative ultrasound technology to boost collagen production. Essentially, the treatment improves the appearance of lines and wrinkles and sagging skin on the face, neck, and décolletage area. Ultrasound technology used in Ultherapy is FDA-cleared and functions based on the principle of focused heat energy, making it a painless, non-surgical treatment that does not require any recovery time.
Ultherapy is a unique cosmetic treatment that is unparalleled to other non-invasive procedures due to the treatment method. It utilizes the power of focused ultrasound to penetrate the skin’s surface and treat the deeper, foundational layer of the skin. Once the ultrasounds reach the deep tissue, they deliver the right amount of energy which stimulates collagen production. Collagen is a naturally occurring substance our bodies produce less as we age, and it is responsible for making the skin look firm and elastic, reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Due to the speed at which our body can produce new collagen, the results are not immediate. Instead, they become apparent over time and are most visible after two to six months, when enough time passes for the collagen to affect all three layers of the skin – muscle, skin, and superficial wrinkles.What makes Ultherapy so effective is the possibility to use ultrasound imaging, which allows doctors to see the tissue that is being treated and, thus, they can target those areas where the energy will be the most beneficial. Relying solely on the power of ultrasounds, Ultherapy is the only FDA-approved skin lifting and tightening treatment which does not use needles and toxins and does not disrupt the skin’s surface in any way.
Actually, preparation for Ultherapy is minimal – you can maintain your regular, everyday activities, such as going to work, exercising, eating and such, prior to the treatment. It is important to schedule a consultation with your skin therapist, where they can make an assessment of your skin’s condition and address any concerns you might have about the procedure.
Once you identify the areas eligible for lifting and tightening, your skin therapist will first apply the ultrasound gel on the skin’s surface. Then ultrasound imaging will be used to determine the exact place where the energy will be delivered for the best result. Finally, your skin therapist will press a treatment applicator to your skin to deliver the ultrasound energy to the designated place in the deep tissue. During the procedure, you might feel tiny waves of energy being delivered deep beneath the skin’s surface, which signals the start of enhanced collagen production. You might feel a slight tingling or heat sensation which passes immediately after the ultrasound delivery is completed. The comfort levels are individual and different for each person. The procedure’s length largely depends on the treatment area – treatment of the chest area is shorter and lasts around 30 minutes, while the procedure which targets the face or neck can last from 45 to 90 minutes.
One of the considerable benefits of using Ultherapy for skin lifting and tightening is that there is no recovery time at all. In fact, you can return to your daily activities as soon as the procedure is finished since there are no post-treatment restrictions. When it comes to the skin’s appearance, during the first few hours, your skin might seem more red than usual. Moreover, some patients reported that their skin feels tender and swollen, but the sensation is mild and does not last long.
Since Ultherapy boosts the natural collagen production in your body, the effect depends on the individual and varies from person to person. The process of collagen regeneration is ongoing, but your own aging process will determine for how long the skin lifting and tightening results will be visible. The vast majority of patients require only one treatment for getting the desired results. However, those who have greater skin laxity or whose bodies produce collagen at a slower rate may opt for additional treatment after 6 months.
As a completely non-invasive procedure, Ultherapy offers very powerful and impressive results. It enables you to stimulate the process of building new collagen, which in turn makes your skin look younger, tighter and more elastic, and softens wrinkles and fine lines which appear as we age. The result is natural-looking and, since there are no incisions or needles involved, there is no downtime as well. Just ensure you opt for a reputable clinic and consult an experienced skin therapist for the results to be truly remarkable.

Dr. Radmila Lukian has recently welcomed the most talented and internationally renowned hair designer of all times, Rossano Ferretti.
We were delighted to have the Maestro with us for a cozy afternoon visit at Lucia Clinic where we discussed beauty, design and future plans.
Medical aesthetic treatments and procedures, especially non-invasive ones, appear to be growing in popularity across the planet, with no sign of stopping. To be able to satisfy the growing demands, it comes as no surprise that the cosmetic industry needs advanced, cutting-edge technology, designed to increase efficiency, ease discomfort and produce long-lasting results. Aesthetic treatments that are always in-demand are constantly improving and benefit the most from rapid technological advances. This is especially true for treatments concerning skin rejuvenation and body contouring.
Microdermabrasion is a popular cosmetic procedure that uses advanced microdermabrasion technology for skin rejuvenation and resurfacing. It takes advantage of technology specifically designed to successfully exfoliate and remove damaged and dry skin cells. At the same time, a diamond tip wand, used to deliver targeted condition-specific formulations to the dermis, polishes the skin, leaving it soft and improving its appearance and texture. Microdermabrasion treatments are highly beneficial for patients who are looking to treat acne, pigmentation, fine lines, or dry and dehydrated skin. State-of-the-art technology this non-invasive procedure utilizes enables patients to achieve the desired results with virtually no downtime, which explains the rising popularity of microdermabrasion.
Microneedling dates as far back as 1995 but became ubiquitous fairly recently due to its new and improved technology, as well as quite impressive results it delivers. The treatment implies inserting very short needles into the skin which stimulate the skin’s ability to heal itself. Such micro-damage encourages regrowth of the skin, which in turn stimulates the production of elastin and collagen. The result is rejuvenated, toned, radiant and plump skin, which is why micro-needling is recommended for those facing age-related skin issues including wrinkles, pigmentation, skin atrophy, or sun-damaged skin. Thanks to the hi-tech devices, such as Dermapen microneedling pen which delivers up to 1,300 surface-deep punctures per second, the whole procedure lasts less than an hour, with almost no downtime. What is more important, the results are usually seen right after the initial treatment.
Fractional laser (or Fraxel laser) is a non-invasive and non-surgical microscopic laser that uses fractional photo-thermolysis to rejuvenate and tighten the skin, improve its tone and texture, address any pigmentation issues, and reduce scars and fine lines. By penetrating the skin and creating multiple microscopic injuries, Fraxel laser stimulates and enhances the production of elastin and collagen, therefore improving the overall appearance of the skin, leaving it healthy and glowing. The sophisticated technology behind fractional-thermolysis lasers ensures the fractional laser treatment is harmless, effective, and followed by a relatively short recovery period.
When it comes to the most efficient anti-aging procedures, LED face mask treatments have demonstrated quite impressive results. They proved to be excellent for tackling numerous skin concerns, like addressing pigmentation issues, brightening the skin, smoothening and tightening fine lines and wrinkles, improving uneven skin tone, treating acne and rosacea, and minimizing pore size. LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy sends therapeutic light energy to the skin cells where it is being transformed into ATP, thus fuelling the cells and enhancing collagen and elastin production. LED mask has no side-effects and contraindications, which makes it suitable for all skin types, regardless of the color or a pre-existing condition.
CoolSculpting is a highly effective, non-invasive, and non-surgical procedure designed to remove the stubborn fat from certain problematic areas of the body, such as flanks, chin, back, inner and outer thighs, arms, or upper and lower abdomen.
CoolSculpting treatment uses the latest Cryolipolysis technology which freezes and crystalizes targeted fat cells, breaking them down and removing them from the body through a natural fat removal process. The initial results can be seen as early as three weeks after the first treatment, although the body needs a few months to remove all the fat cells present in the targeted area. This aesthetic procedure is harmless and offers long-lasting results.
Venus Freeze is an advanced procedure that offers two treatments at the same time – skin tightening and cellulite reduction. Venus Freeze reduces wrinkles and tightens the skin by helping it regenerate fibroblasts and enhance collagen. At the same time, the procedure facilitates fat and cellulite reduction by melting fat cells in the treated area. This innovative technology makes the treatment painless, comfortable, and quick, with clearly visible results and no downtime.
Viora Reaction is an advanced cellulite reduction procedure that targets both the body and the skin. It uses complex multi-frequency CORE technology which triggers the process of fat cell reduction and facilitates elastin and collagen production by combining radiofrequency energy and vacuum suction. The energy breaks down the fat cells deep under the skin, while the vacuum triggers lymphatic drainage. As a result, you can notice better skin complexion, as well as improved appearance and slimmer figure. Viora Reaction treatments are comfortable, effective, safe, highly customizable and depend solely on a patient’s needs and requirements.
Regardless of the procedure, the advanced technology used in the cosmetic industry is to be credited for many improvements, such as the increased effectiveness of each treatment, minimal discomfort and shorter recovery time, as well as exceptional, clearly visible results. However, to ensure the desired results are achieved, it is essential that these technologically advanced medical aesthetic treatments are done properly, in a reputable clinic and by a licensed skin therapist.
Aging impacts are not just visible on the face and neck but on the whole body. Skin sags and unwanted bulges become a nightmare as we age. Women lose their tummy shape during their pregnancy and then find it difficult to tighten their belly skin. Fortunately, with advanced technology, we can now benefit from non-invasive treatment like Thermage that can give a physical and emotional lift needed.
The Thermage treatment safely and effectively tightens the skin on arms, stomach, thighs, buttocks, face and neck. It can also smooth uneven, dimpled skin on the body and temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite.
The Thermage procedure uses a hand-held device in which ThermaTip, attached to it delivers the non-invasive radiofrequency energy deep beneath the skin when touching the skin. This uniform heating action causes the deep structures in the skin and underlying tissue to immediately tighten.
New and improved collagen is produced over time to further tighten the skin. This treatment for body takes 30 minutes to 2 hours of time depending on the areas to be treated. Thermage procedure is effective for men and women seeking to firm their sagging and loose skin. Unlike other treatments, Thermage doesn’t require multiple sessions. A single Thermage treatment yields the required results for most of the patients.
The results depend upon the age, skin condition and body’s individual response to the heat application. Therefore, the results may be seen immediately by few and measurable results over 2 to 6 months by 70-80% patients. Thermage treatment is way easier than surgery. It is non-invasive and does not require any pre-procedure preparation. It does not have any downtime and patients can return to their regular activities after the treatment. To know more about please contact us.
The most noticeable change in a human’s face over age are the eyes that have delicate skin. The hooding, fine lines and brow line can make us look worn-down. The skin’s collagen and elastin simply breaks down faster than your body can rebuild them, causing your skin to lose elasticity that leads to wrinkles. This brings in the need of a treatment that can rejuvenate and brighten the eye area. Thermage, an FDA cleared treatment can come to rescue to tighten and lift the eyelid skin. This procedure uses radiofrequency energy which is passed into the dermis tissue to fill the wrinkles and fine lines caused by aging. This gentle heating tightens the existing collagen and stimulates the production of new collagen thus gradually tightening the collagen. This treatment is well suited for people who need a dramatic result in hiding the signs of brow and eyelid sagging without going under the knife.
Thermage treatment makes easy wonders. It requires visit to the dermatologist where they examine your skin and suggest a treatment pattern depending on the size of eye bags and determine your candidacy. Ideal candidates for Thermage treatment are people who are not ready for down time that comes with surgical eyelift or middle-aged women showing the signs of neck/brow/eyelid sagging. The treatment usually lasts for an hour and typically takes 1 to 6 months to show effective results. Although a few patients show immediate improvement, 70-80% of patients show effective results at 6 months. Thermage results usually lasts for about 2 years depending on your skin type and then requires maintenance treatments. Since the procedure is non-invasive, there is no down time or pre-treatment requirements so that patients can return to normal activities immediately after the procedure. One can return to exercise the day after the procedure and therefore Thermage fits into any lifestyle and your current beauty regimen.

Wrinkled face, loose jowls and sagging skin are a nightmare for any middle-aged. The jawline, lips and neck lose their definition with age. In addition to that, external factors such as pollution and sun damage play a big role in affecting our skin condition, specially on the face and neck area. Skin treatments work on just the surface but cannot improve the inner-layers of the skin. That’s when Thermage will work for you! Thermage is a non-invasive procedure that relies on radiofrequency (RF) technology to tighten your skin’s deeper layers. It stimulates the existing collagen growth and new collagen is produced over time that makes the skin look younger. Thermage has an FDA clearance which makes it an absolute safe procedure to go for. Thermage works for both men and women and works on all skin types and colours. It is usually preferred for people above age of 30 having mild to moderate skin laxity. But the ideal candidacy can be determined based on the examination of your skin by the dermatologist. The treatment lasts for an hour and patients usually feel warmth sensation on during the treatment. Nonetheless it does not have any side effects which means you can get the treatment done during your office lunch hour. The improvement results of Thermage are visible quite immediately for few and take 1 to 6 months for 70-80% patients. Thermage requires no surgery, no injections, no anaesthesia and implies no downtime. It works wonders on sagging jawline and cheeks, giving smoother skin texture, reduced fine lines and rejuvenated skin. To know more about Thermage treatment for face, please contact us.

The idea of a wand-like device that could glide over your face, tightening and lifting in about half an hour, sounds rather sci-fi. But that’s essentially what Ultherapy does, using ultrasound heat to set collagen production into overdrive deep below the skin’s surface. Environmental factors and lifestyle may accelerate the aging of the skin, especially on the face and neck and décolletage.
While the aging process weakens the muscles and decreases collagen fortunately, the latest Ultherapy treatment is gaining popularity in knocking years off your appearance and with no downtime. It has rewind effect and is works in a natural way because it regenerates structural collagen and elastin. Ultherapy is a revolutionary age-defying treatment used to lift and tighten loose skin on areas such as the eyebrows, jawline and décolletage.
The treatment uses ultrasound energy to heat the targeted tissue in the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen.“In our practice, Ulthera has become the gold standard for the treatment of sagging skin on the face, neck and décolletage – said Dr. Radmila Lukian, and the results are amazing. Most of my patients can see an immediate effect when they leave the clinic and a secondary effect a few months later, as new collagen continues to form.”Ultherapy is the only non-invasive FDA-approved procedure to lift skin on these hard-to-treat areas.
Ultherapy uses the safe energy of ultrasound to stimulate the deep structural support layers of the skin including those typically addressed in a surgical facelift without disturbing the surface of the skin. Ultherapy is performed using ultrasound imaging – another first of its class of aesthetic devices – therapists can view each layer of the skin and muscle as they work, resulting in greater precision and a heightened safety profile.
“Ultherapy is suitable for people who have mild to moderate sagging skin on the face, neck and brow but are not ready for surgery. It can be opted to lift and tighten sagging skin on the neck and under the chin, addressing the turkey gobbler and double chin which many patients are trying to eliminate. The process is non-invasive which makes this treatment impressive overall,” said Dr. Radmila Lukian, one of the pioneers of Ultherapy in Dubai.
Ultherapy treatment is performed by placing a smooth applicator on the skin, that deposits focused ultrasound energy deep beneath the skin at the optimal temperature for collagen regeneration. The treatment jumpstarts a natural process, known as neocollagenesis, to produce fresh, new collagen.The length of the treatment typically varies from 60-90 minutes depending on the area being treated and individual treatment’s plan. The comfort levels vary from person to person, but the sensation may be felt when the treatment is being done.
Dr. Radmila Lukian further added, “Ultherapy is revolutionary since it relies on body’s own collagen-building process for natural, noticeable results. In fact, you would feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to precise depths during the treatment.”
Lifting and toning will take place over two to three months as the existing collagen is replaced with new, more elastic collagen. As this collagen-building process continues, further improvements can appear up to six months following the procedure.
