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.

Hyperpigmentation is a skin disorder that can affect the entire body, or specific areas, and cause the skin to change its color and become darker. There are different types of skin pigmentation disorders, such as age spots, melasma, freckles, or sun spots, and they are all responsible for the development of the discolored patches that affect the overall appearance of the skin. As a cosmetic issue that is usually harmless, skin pigmentation can often be treated at home, using readily available, purely natural ingredients that are known to be highly effective in addressing skin discoloration.
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
Due to its powerful ingredients which can help in reducing hyperpigmentation and lightening of the skin, apple cider vinegar has been widely used to help deal with various pigmentation issues. This vinegar contains both acetic acid, which has a similar effect as a mild chemical peel, and polyphenols, organic chemicals that act as antioxidants and, as such, protect your skin from free radicals. Make a mixture of equal amounts of apple cider vinegar and water and apply it to dark spots and patches. Wash with lukewarm water after a couple of minutes, and repeat the procedure twice a day for achieving the desired results.
RED ONION
Certain compounds that can be found in allium cepa, or red onion, can act as efficient skin whitening agents due to their unique property to inhibit the activity of cells that are responsible for producing excess pigmentation. Due to its impressive results, red onion extract is even used in various cosmetic products made for scar lightening and reducing skin pigmentation. The simplest way to use red onion at home is to grind it up and put it in an empty tea bag, that you will then apply to the pigmented area.
GREEN TEA EXTRACT
Green tea extract is used to reduce the appearance of dark spots due to its depigmenting effect. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a powerful antioxidant and one of the main ingredients of green tea, can block a certain cell activity that can lead to excess pigmentation. In addition, green tea leaves are rich in gallic and ellagic acid, which are known to improve the overall appearance of the skin. Put a green tea bag in hot water and leave it in up to five minutes. After it cools down, apply it to the pigmented area. Repeat two times a day until achieving visible results.
VITAMIN C
Vitamin C, especially when used in its either citric acid or ascorbic acid form, is known to significantly reduce pigmentation and dark spots, and improve skin complexion and appearance. As an antioxidant, vitamin C also protects the skin from the harmful effects of free radicals and helps lighten the top layer of the skin. Applying fruits rich in vitamin C, such as papaya, grapefruit, orange, or lemon directly to the hyperpigmented area of the skin will result in lighter skin over time.
LICORICE EXTRACT
One of the most efficient brightening agents that can be found in nature is licorice. Due to its main active ingredients, glycyrrhizin, liquirtin, and glabridin, licorice acts as a powerful pigmentation remedy that can reduce dark patches and improve the skin tone. Moreover, licorice has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. It is fairly easy to make licorice extract at home. Add 100 grams of washed licorice root to 1 liter of water and leave it on low heat for around an hour. Once the liquid turns brown/yellow, strain the contents and pour the extract into a clean container. You can use the extract either as a tonic, or mix it with your skincare products.
MILK
Various types of milk, such as fresh milk, sour milk, buttermilk, and even yogurt, are considered to be effective in addressing skin pigmentation disorders. The reason for this is lactic acid, one of the common ingredients used in chemical peels to lighten dark spots and even skin complexion. Apply the milk directly to the area of the skin covered with dark spots, or use a cotton ball previously thoroughly soaked in milk. Leave it for a couple of minutes, rinse it off, and repeat the procedure two times a day for best results.
CONCLUSION
Due to their powerful skin lightening properties and no major side effects, the ingredients listed above have been commonly used as natural remedies that help treat various skin pigmentation issues. However, for more severe skin discoloration conditions that do not respond well to these natural ingredients, it is best to visit a reputable aesthetic clinic where your condition will be properly diagnosed. After a thorough examination, your doctor can then help you decide on a cosmetic procedure that best suits your needs and appearance goals.

IV Infusion Therapy – Our super-fast and busy lifestyle leaves us exhausted and depletes the required nutrients from our body. Eventually, we start ageing rapidly in our appearance and the productivity also decreases thus affecting our health. This is where IV infusions Therapy can help in replenishing the fluids and nutrients into the body and its target organs.
Intravenous (IV) Infusion Therapy is performed by infusing the needed vitamins, minerals and nutrients directly into a patient’s bloodstream for quick absorption into the body. IV infusion therapy can be used to treat nutritional deficiencies, detox the body from harmful toxins and boost the immune system. Sometimes a nutrient is not adequately absorbed orally due to poor functioning in the digestive tract. This is where IV therapy has shown powerful results in cases where other oral vitamin treatments have failed.
There are several types of IV infusions to treat specific problems. Some of the popular ones use high dose Vitamin B, Vitamin C, Glutathione, Ascorbic Acid, L-Glutamine, Magnesium, Zinc and many others. Most of these are combined to form a tailor-made solution to fulfil your deficiencies. The menu of IV-cocktails is expanding with promising solutions covering anti-stress, immunity boost, fitness hydrating support, memory boost, hair regeneration and female balance thereby making it an overall wellness therapy.
IV Infusion Therapy requires a prior blood test to understand the needs and deficiencies. Since the therapy involves identifying the different concentrations and their proportion needed to meet the expectations, it is essential to get this therapy performed by a qualified professional. Once the tests are done, an infusion is usually a fast process taking 30-45 minutes before you are good to go. The effects are also quick and instantaneous in some cases. Very few might see side effects like nausea or fever which is temporary and vanishes in some time.
Infusion treatments are fast and the wellness benefits are lasting. To take the advantage of this therapy, schedule a consultation with our experts by calling us on +9714 385 4525 or email [email protected]. You can also contact us to find out more about us.

The vitamins and minerals bypass the digestive system and go right into your bloodstream that restores the skin’s youthful glow, stimulate boundless energy. The solution could be injected by an injection or by drips into the veins which take approximately 15-90 mins to complete the procedure. The proportion of vitamins needed for your skin and body vary from person to person. Therefore, an evaluation by an expert for expectations, needs and symptoms is important to determine the right proportion of treatment.
IV Vitamin Therapy can deliver almost all the vitamins (A, B, C, K etc.) and other minerals such as magnesium, amino acids etc. It is, in fact, more effective than oral vitamins since the fluids directly drip into the bloodstream that carries the nutrients straight to the cells than relying on the digestive tract with only a fraction of ingested fluids being delivered to the target cells. The effects of dripping these vitamins in abundance are also found to be dramatic and instantaneous.
