Trendy and innovative – just two among numerous words that describe Lucia Clinic. Always on the top with its advanced treatments and high-quality products, this clinic has risen the bar in the world of aesthetic dermatology. With a vision of the future, Lucia Clinic has recently included plastic surgery on its list of services. And already Lucia Clinic offers one of the most advanced procedures – Tumescent liposuction. Performed only under local anesthesia, this surgery represents a revolution in Dubai. And Dr. Josipovic, is an expert in this surgery and we can safely say that Tumescent liposuction is one of his signature procedures.

So, what about Tumescent liposuction effectiveness, side effects and recovery? Let’s talk about it.

‍

TUMESCENT LIPOSUCTION- GOLD STANDARD FOR FAT REMOVAL AND BODY SCULPTING

It has definitely earned this title for many reasons – one of them is its effective removal of excess fat and body contouring. It offers almost the same results as traditional liposuction but it doesn’t require general anesthesia. This is what makes it so revolutionary -with local anesthesia there are fewer risks of side effects and you recover much faster. The tumescent fluid that is injected into the targeted area is a mixture of ingredients that firm, numb and prevent too much bleeding – three things that make this surgery much more comfortable.

Even though traditional liposuction and Tumescent liposuction have the same goal – removal of fat that you can’t eliminate no matter how much you exercise and keep a balanced diet, Tumescent liposuction is much safer and a better alternative.

JUST LOCAL ANESTHESIA EQUALS LESS PAIN

When we think of surgery, we freeze at the thought of general anesthesia and the risks it brings. Not to mention the side effects after it like pain, nausea and others. To avoid risks and side effects, many surgeons prefer to use just local anesthesia if possible. The good news for you is that Tumescent liposuction is one of those procedures that are done under local anesthesia. This is a big advantage because the risks and side effects are greatly lowered. Depending on the targeted areas you wish to address with Tumescent liposuction, local anesthesia successfully blocks the pain in those areas.

Tumescent liposuction is a very controlled procedure because the surgeon injects a special tumescent fluid into the area you wish to address. This special fluid guarantees that you will feel less pain when the liposuction starts – you will feel only pressure. If you still feel distressed about the surgery, you can get sedation along with the local anesthesia, simply to be more relaxed and comfortable.

SMALLER INCISIONS – FASTER RECOVERY

Another brilliant advantage of Tumescent liposuction is that it needs several open incisions that are only 1 to 2 mm in size. They are practically invisible. Open means that the incisions are only compressed after the procedure and not closed like with traditional liposuction. There are no drains or sutures, so there is less swelling, inflammation, pain or bruising. Why is this important to you? You can go home few hours after the surgery, compared to traditional liposuction where you need to spend the night at the clinic. You can return to your normal daily activities three days after, while traditional liposuction requires weeks of recovery. Since your body doesn’t experience much trauma and doesn’t experience serious side effects, it doesn’t need a lot of time to fully heal.

TUMESCENT SOLUTION – A KEY TO EASIER FAT REMOVAL

The secret behind Tumescent liposuction lies in the tumescent solution that is injected into the targeted area. It is injected into the subcutaneous fat that is found between your muscles and skin. We’ve already mentioned that it contains a local anesthetic that makes this plastic surgery virtually painless. But it also contains another important ingredient that causes blood vessels to shrink and reduces blood loss during the surgery. Why is this important to you? Since there is less bleeding you won’t have to deal with severe bruising and pain. So, again Tumescent liposuction is beneficial even in this part.

Another advantage of the tumescent solution is that it actually makes fat removal easier. It makes the fat firm and swollen and easy to break down. This way the surgeon doesn’t harm the surrounding tissue and suctions only the unwanted fat. But before that, he inserts a microcannula (which is much smaller than in traditional liposuction) into the targeted area, loosens fat cells and then suctions them out of your body. After the surgery, you are left with slimmer and better-defined contours. Of course, this process requires absolute precision but with Dr. Josipovic there is no room for mistakes – only natural-looking and brilliant results.

TUMESCENT LIPOSUCTION IS VERSATILE

What’s brilliant about Tumescent liposuction is that it brings great results in removing stubborn fat from different body areas. It is safe and effective in eliminating fat from large body areas like inner and outer thighs, legs or abdomen but it can also address smaller and difficult-to-reach areas like your arms, neck, knees and even chin. Women can greatly benefit from this surgery if they wish to reduce their breasts or make their hips slimmer, while men can get rid of love handles or male breasts. After Tumescent liposuction, you can expect smoother skin and contours that are shaped ideally for your weight or body type. This is especially true if you get your Tumescent liposuction done by Dr. Josipovic, whose artistry and creativity go beyond measure.

YOU CAN EXPECT IMPROVED AND SMOOTH RESULTS

Since the tumescent solution makes the fat firm and expanded before the procedure, the surgeon can control contouring the targeted area much more precisely. Also, the fact that you are awake during the procedure contributes to better sculpting because the surgeon can ask you to change your position if necessary. This way, the surgeon can see and reach all fat tissue that needs to be removed without harming any surrounding tissues. The surgeon can achieve excellent results by resculpting your curves. Also, microcannulas that the surgeon uses won’t cause any post-procedure irregularities in your skin. As we mentioned, the tiny incisions that are made before inserting the microcannulas are barely visible and eventually fade away. With better control come better results, and not to mention faster recovery, fewer side effects and less discomfort – Tumescent liposuction offers you all these benefits.

‍

GET RID OF FAT DEPOSITS FOR GOOD

Once the surgeon removes all unwanted fat cells they don’t come back. You can enjoy your more balanced and better-defined silhouette forever. Of course, it is advisable not to gain weight and to keep up with healthy lifestyle habits. But if gaining weight does happen it tends to get distributed all over the body. Therefore it is beneficial to keep a proper diet and exercise regularly because you reduce fat cells proportionally and you can still keep your silhouette unchanged.

With Tumescent liposuction, you improve your body contours and eliminate fat that bothers you. The effects of this surgery are like you have been focusing your diet on that specific problematic body area – which is, as we all know, difficult or better to say impossible to do. But with Tumescent liposuction, you can effectively get rid of unattractive fat bulges around your thighs or tummy. Once you achieve the body contours you have always wanted, it will motivate you to continue with your healthy habits.

If you are thinking about your skin and if it will contract after Tumescent liposuction – it will. Your skin is an incredible organ that can stretch or contract a lot. After the surgery, your skin will eventually fit your new contours because it will be the same as if you lost all that excess fat with a diet.

REMODEL YOUR SKIN WITH LUCIA’S SECRET DUO

Lucia’s Secret DUO treatment is special – it combines two amazing treatments, Secret RF micro-needling and Secret Erbium. This powerful combination remodels your skin at deeper levels and makes your skin youthful-looking and firmer. This is just what your skin needs this spring- a refreshed and rejuvenated look. Both treatments are one of the most advanced aesthetic procedures that are safe for all skin tones. Secret DUO reveals your natural beauty in a fast way, with minimal downtime and maximal results.

AWAKE YOUR COLLAGEN WITH SECRET RF MICRO-NEEDLING

It’s all about collagen – the powerful protein that keeps your skin firm and youthful-looking. During Secret RF micro-needling treatment, a safe RF energy is used that heats different levels of your skin and removes old collagen fibers. At the same time, it stimulates the new, healthy collagen that starts to build up and remodel your skin.  Eventually, your skin becomes tighter and stronger and the signs of aging are eliminated. Even though RF energy heats your skin, it is absolutely controlled and can’t harm the surface layer of your skin. It works on deeper levels where there is an abundance of collagen. It just needs to be woken up and this treatment is perfect for that.

TIGHTEN YOUR SKIN IN A GENTLE WAY

Secret RF micro-needling treatment is performed with a special device that has tiny needles attached to its tip. But the needles are only minimally invasive and can treat even the most delicate areas like around the eyes or the mouth. You can get a fully customized treatment that will address only your skin concern. It can be facial wrinkles, large pores, loose skin, acne scars and so much more. The advantage of this treatment is that it reduces all skin imperfections but it doesn’t harm the skin surface. The secret of this treatment is that microneedles make perfect contact with the skin and penetrate it gently. RF energy is precisely delivered between the microneedles and targets deeper layers of the skin. The micro-wounds trigger your body’s natural healing processes and you are left with clear, glowing and remodeled skin.

PLUMP YOUR SKIN WITH SECRET ERBIUM TREATMENT

Another powerful and advanced treatment that is part of Lucia’s Secret DUO procedure is Secret Erbium – a non-ablative, fractional resurfacing laser treatment. Its secret is working deep within your skin but without harming the surface. This is a huge benefit for you because you can return to your daily routine really quickly – you feel refreshed and rejuvenated but you don’t have to spend a lot of time recovering. This laser treatment emits multiple light beams into the dermis of your skin and heats it- it remodels the collagen fibers and leaves you with smooth and plump skin.

RETURN YOUR NATURAL RADIANCE

These two advanced treatments work so amazingly together – they offer you a gentler treatment, with reduced downtime and awesome results. Secret RF micro-needling improves the skin imperfections like sun damage, acne scars and large pores, while Secret Erbium laser smooths and plumps your skin inside out. Both treatments improve dull and tired skin and make it more radiant. Non-ablative skin resurfacing reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improves skin tone and texture. At the same time, your skin gets mildly lifted and tighter as the new, healthy collagen builds up. You will love Lucia’s Secret DUO because it can do so much for your skin.

Another treatment you can try out this April is Lucia’s EmSculpt NEO treatment – get ready to look and feel great!

According to Dr. Lukian, Dubai represented a challenge for her when she first visited this amazing city to share her expertise at a conference. This was a moment when she realized that she could use and further develop her knowledge in a city with so many people of different skin types. Her unique approach to aesthetic dermatology emerged here – each and every patient needs individual attention. There are no two same skin tones and skin types. We are all different. So Dr. Lukian recognized an opportunity to settle in Dubai and open Lucia Clinic, world-renowned dermatology and aesthetic beauty sanctuary.

How Dr. Lukian does her job is truly unique – she had a vision of what her clinic would look like and she succeeded in fulfilling it. She had new ideas and concepts, which, she admits, were not always accepted. But she managed to implement all her ideas, one of them being that the doctor is the leader, the doctor decides and not the interest of the business.

Getting breast implants is never an easy decision. Once you decide to enlarge your breasts, a thousand questions arise in your head – which implants to choose, who is the best doctor, how long is the recovery period and so on. You hear different stories from people who had this type of plastic surgery, but you still don’t feel like you know everything about it. That’s because you are an individual and everyone is different. Everywoman has a different body and different expectations from breast augmentation surgery. That’s why the first thing you need to do is find a reliable clinic and an experienced plastic surgeon.

Lucia Clinic is one of the most renowned clinics in UAE and is a perfect place for you if you have decided to get this surgery. With the latest technology and state-of-the art facilities, Lucia Clinic offers you a high-quality service and comfortable journey towards finally getting the breasts you have always dreamt about. Dr. Josipovic is here to guide you. Using the most advanced techniques in breast augmentation surgery, Dr. Josipovic goes an extra mile in delivering the best results to his patients.

So, let’s cut through some of the confusion about breast augmentation surgery.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT IMPLANTS FOR YOU

As we already said, everyone is different and everyone has different preferences. This means that there are a lot of different implants that would be suitable for you considering your height and body structure. You just need to have an initial consultation with the doctor who will suggest which implant type, size or texture will be the best for you. Of course, the doctor also takes your wishes into consideration – in the end you are having this surgery to be satisfied with the final results.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO FOLLOW THE IMPLANT TRENDS IF YOU DON’T WANT TO

It’s all up to you. You can decide whether you want natural-looking implants with smaller projection or you can choose implants that will give more volume to your breasts. Think about how you wish your décolletage to look after the surgery – more visible or more moderate. Just discuss all your preferences with the doctor and together you can find the best implants for you. Keep in mind that the size and shape of the implants that your friend got, might not suit you, even though you think they look great. You are an individual and you need individual attention from the doctor and individual choice of implants.

NO MATTER WHICH IMPLANTS YOU CHOOSE THEY WILL BE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY

As Lucia Clinic always offers only the best products and treatments, breast augmentation surgery is also in that same rank. The breast implants you can get at Lucia Clinic are of the latest 4th generation and they are the best. One of their biggest and most important advantages is that you don’t have to replace them every 10 years. Previous generations of implants had to be replaced after 10 years which meant another surgery and another recovery period. But now the good news is that you can enjoy your new breasts for a long long time. And if there are no problems with your implants, you can have them forever. Having breast augmentation surgery at Lucia Clinic brings you real long-lasting results. One more thing – the procedure is very safe. You will be in good hands.

THE RECOVERY PERIOD IS REALLY SHORT

When you are considering having breast augmentation surgery, you are definitely thinking about how long it will take to recover. When we say “surgery”, months of downtime immediately pop into our mind. But, it actually doesn’t have to be like that. With Dr. Josipovic’s special technique for breast augmentation surgery, you will be shortly back to your routine and even sport activities in no more than 6 weeks. You will agree that this period of recovery is really not that long. You need to follow the recovery recommendations and look after your bandages for a couple of weeks. After that you are free to resume all your everyday activities, even continue to play sports. There will be just one difference – you will feel more confident because your breasts finally contribute to your natural beauty.

YOU CAN CONSIDER BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY WHEN YOU CELEBRATE YOUR 18TH BIRTHDAY

If you think that this age is too early to consider breast augmentation surgery actually it isn’t. A lot of young adolescent girls start to feel self-conscious because they aren’t satisfied with their breast size or shape. Once these young ladies reach 18, their body has almost fully developed so it is completely safe for them to start thinking about this plastic surgery. Of course, having a consultation with the doctor is very important. Once you consult with the doctor you can make a decision about having breast augmentation surgery according to his advice and recommendation. He can advise you to wait for a couple of years before you have this surgery, which is not that long when you consider the benefits that this surgery will bring you. Building a positive picture about the body is very important at adolescence and this surgery can definitely help young ladies feel more confident about their look.

HAVE A CONSULTATION WITH THE DOCTOR TO HAVE ALL YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Before any surgery, you need to consult with the doctor. The same applies here – having a consultation with the doctor you can trust will definitely clear out all the confusion you might have regarding breast augmentation. Of course you will choose a doctor that has a huge experience and can advise you on all the aspects of this surgery. We all know that the trends are always changing and that new and improved implants are being developed. This is something that will help you decide to have breast augmentation surgery much easier.

As we said, we all have different bodies -more precisely, every lady has different breasts and different wishes about their enlargement. During consultation, the doctor can explain what kind of implants would be the most suitable for you – round, tear-shaped, smooth or textured. Also the doctor will advise you of the implants with bigger and smaller projections. But you can also say which ones you would personally prefer. He will carefully explain every step of the surgery and what you can expect during the recovery period.

Just be fully open during the consultation. If you are still planning a family or you are younger than 18, you can always postpone your breast augmentation surgery until you are completely ready. Being honest and open with your doctor guarantees that breast augmentation surgery will bring you the best results – being satisfied with your breasts size and shape is your ultimate goal.

LUCIA CLINIC WELCOMES YOU

The decision to have breast augmentation surgery is just yours and just for you. Getting this surgery at an eminent clinic like Lucia Clinic and having it performed by a world-famous plastic surgeon is definitely something that will help you feel confident that you made the right decision. Return your confidence and finally feel great and beautiful with breast augmentation surgery.

Today I am going to show you why Laser hair removal is the best long-term solution for the elimination of unwanted body hair.

In fact, I am going to tell you how this treatment changed my life in terms of saving my time, and nerves.

 TABLE OF CONTENT:

1. Save your time and nerves
2. Choose the right laser hair removal treatment or more precisely the right device
3. Catch the hair at the right moment
4. Get a patch test – just to be sure
5. Prepare before your appointment
6. Take good care of your skin after laser hair removal
7. Be consistent with your laser hair removal treatment plan
8. Find the best clinic for you – let it be your beauty sanctuary

1. SAVE YOUR TIME AND NERVES

Yes, this first thing is absolutely important. Following your hair grooming regime, almost every day is really dreadful and tiring. I, personally am not a fan of grown-out hair, and if I didn’t tackle it every day it started creeping out from every corner. Laser hair removal changed my life – I don’t have to worry about wearing a short skirt because my legs are silky smooth now. I feel so relaxed about it now!

So, let’s discuss how laser hair removal can save your time – in the long run.

But, actually, let me just tell you how much time we actually spend removing pesky hair with different methods – just to compare.

FIRST SHAVING

There are different ways of shaving – a quick one, in the shower when you are in a major hurry. You are probably already late and when you finish and want to wear your short skirt you can’t because you have missed a few patches of hair or God forbid, cut yourself. So, has your hair grooming method succeeded? No. And now you lose even more time because you have to re-do it or find something else to wear. On average you spend about 5 minutes on a quick shave.

Shaving is painless, I grant you that, but you may get ingrown hair – pretty painful and awful-looking. Talk about losing your nerves when this happens – definitely a downside to this grooming method.

Of course, you can do it more precisely with the use of a tone of shaving cream. But, let’s face it we don’t do it so often.

All in all, when you add up you spend about 35 hours shaving a year, depending on whether you do it every day or every other day.

NEXT WAXING

It all depends on which area you are waxing, but let’s say that you are grooming your legs, bikini zone and underarm area. This takes about an hour to cover. And you probably need to do it once a month if you want to maintain your smooth skin. But, you need to add additional time to schedule the appointment and drive to the salon and back – that’s roughly another hour. I forgot to mention – it can hurt like crazy! And burn your skin if an inexperienced person is doing your treatment. Also, you need a bit of grown hair if you want waxing to be successful. So if you desire silky smooth skin all the time this is not a good option.

When you add up everything, you spend roughly 18 hours a year on waxing.

I can also mention,

DEPILATORY CREAMS

They are quick, I admit, but can be messy when used. Don’t forget that they can contain some pretty harsh chemicals and smell awful. The effects – not very lasting. Two or three days and you must do it again. The skin is silky smooth because you do remove all the hair but you must constantly repeat it. So you spend a lot of time doing it – perhaps similar to shaving.

TIP: If you have  sensitive skin, steer clear of depilatory creams. You don’t want to end up  with red or burned skin.

EPILATORS

This device can easily remove hair but can be quite uncomfortable. And you need to use them every 3 to 4 weeks to maintain smooth skin, but again similar to waxing, you need to let your hair grow a bit to effectively remove it with epilators. It can last really long to cover all your areas, and it can really hurt when you are treating sensitive areas like the underarm or bikini zone. Another thing – you can also end up with ingrown hairs, so again you lose your nerves when this happens.

Regarding time, it can be compared to waxing. The only difference is that you don’t spend additional time traveling to the salon, because you do it at home.

AND FINALLY – LASER HAIR REMOVAL

Let’s say that getting laser hair removal on your whole legs, underarm and bikini zone lasts for about an hour. There are some differences in duration depending on your hair type and thickness. And you need a maximum of 10 sessions to permanently destroy unwanted hair.

So, let’s roughly add it up – 10 hours – every 4-6 weeks plus occasional touch-up treatment if necessary. It’s very simple -you just pop up to the clinic, get your treatment session done and continue with your daily routine. On the whole, you save a lot more time and constantly enjoy your silky smooth skin. Just imagine how much nerves you will preserve being relaxed when it comes to wearing whatever you want especially in the summer.

I previously mentioned the problem of ingrown hairs. Good news – with laser hair removal there aren’t any.

 TIP: If you are prone to ingrown hair,  laser hair removal is the only effective method of eliminating them fast.

The laser hits the root of the problem – the hair follicle. It destroys the follicle so it can’t grow hair. With no hair, there is no ingrown hair – it’s that simple. You will never have to worry about unsightly bumps on your legs for example – they will be beautifully smooth.

I admit – it’s not an overnight solution, but it is so worthwhile in the end. Once you start your laser hair removal journey you will notice the results really soon – your unwanted hair is disappearing, the remaining hair is lighter and not so visible. The final result may take a while to notice but it will be permanent.

2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT,OR MORE PRECISELY THE RIGHT DEVICE

You have been given a gift of choice – there are so many different laser hair removal treatments that you can surely find the right one for you. I will inform you about the two most popular and effective ones after talking about them with everyday people and collecting their experiences with these two treatments.

If you are like me – not a fan of fine print, you have probably tried to get rid of undesirable body hair for ages. Depilatory creams, razors, electrolysis, waxing, have their benefits, but they lack the crucial one – they are not permanent.

But, the following two treatments will greatly reduce your unwanted hair – you will love them!

FIRST ON THE LIST – SOPRANO TITANIUM LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT

Let’s just quickly cover some of the technical sides of this device.

This is la creme de la creme among laser hair removal devices. It is the latest generation and represents a revolution in laser hair removal because it’s pain-free, it’s fast and most importantly it’s super effective.

It has been patented by the Alma company so you can be sure that it combines comfort and functionality.

It uses the SHR system which stands for super hair removal. It’s a diode laser that creates a focused beam of light that targets its goal – melanin in the hair follicle. SHR slowly heats the top layer of the skin and when it reaches the proper temperature it destroys the follicle and with that the hair.

It combines IN-Motion technology and ICE plus cooling tips and makes sure that the surface of your skin is comfortable and cool.

Another cool thing about this treatment is that it has a large 4 square centimeters applicator that treats large areas of the body really really fast – this is something completely new in the world of laser hair removal. Also, it makes sure that missed areas are minimal.

 TIP: If you have a dark or tanned skin tone Soprano  Titanium won’t damage your skin surface.

That’s how exceptional this treatment is. We know that dark skin melanin is more sensitive to heating so laser hair removal is not always a good choice. But Soprano Titanium beats other treatments – SHR slowly heats the skin surface and there is no possibility to burn it. This fact is what makes Soprano Titanium the only safe laser treatment for dark skin tones.

TIP: Start with Soprano Titanium laser  hair removal even if the summer is approaching.

This treatment is safe to be done at any time of the year.

AND WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY?

The patient is having an effective Soprano Titanium laser hair removal treatment

Usually when asked why they chose to get Soprano Titanium laser hair removal they say because they hated their unwanted hair and wanted to get rid of them fast, painlessly and finally in an effective way. All that is possible with this amazing treatment. They also say that once most hair is destroyed you don’t have to go 2 to 3 times a month to your waxing appointment, or use a razor every other day – you just get so relaxed because you don’t have to worry about pesky hair. One more thing – they could have their treatment even in the summer because it’s safe and there are no side effects. After finishing with a session they could go on vacation right away – you don’t need to plan your summer holiday according to treatment sessions. Not having to shave every day at the seaside was already a big motive for deciding to have this treatment.

This treatment really made their life easier.

IT CAN TARGET ALL HAIR TYPE

Others, especially women with darker skin tones could finally have laser hair removal because Soprano Titanium has all three wavelengths and affects both the melanin and hemoglobin – this is what makes it safe for all hair types. The laser recognizes fair hair on fair skin and dark hair on darker skin. This used to be a problem for fair skin people because the laser didn’t catch thin and very fine and fair hair.

IT IS SUPER FAST AND VIRTUALLY PAINLESS

Another thing that is awesome about the treatment and that attracted a lot of people is that it is super fast. After the ultrasonic gel is applied to the targeted area, the laser applicator is moved really quickly across that area – that’s the IN-motion technique. Because of the integrated cooling system, at the start of the treatment, the patient feels only a cold sensation. After a few seconds, the laser starts to get warmer but when it becomes hot, the treatment is over. So there are no burns or hyperpigmentation.

IT IS SIMPLE

The way how the treatment is so simple, made a lot of people love it. You just come to the clinic, have a consultation with the treatment therapist who examines your skin and hair and sets the laser parameters and that’s it. The treatment can be finished in a few minutes and you are good to go. You just schedule your next treatment session and continue with your lunch break. That’s how easy it is to have this treatment done.

AND FINALLY – IT IS EFFECTIVE

This is the best part of the treatment – after a single session, you can see the first results 2 to 3 weeks post-treatment.  This is the time when your hair would grow again normally but you notice for example while showering, that the treated hair is falling off and almost one-third of the hair disappears. So, after 4 to 6 sessions 90% of your hair is gone. That’s pretty cool! And that’s what made this treatment so popular and beloved by many people. They finally could enjoy silky smooth skin all the time.

TIP: If you have a history  of ingrown hair, this treatment will put a stop to it once and for all.

Moreover, it improves the general state of your skin, eliminates pimples and other imperfections. While you are waiting for your next session you will notice that your hair is thinner and the periods when the hair doesn’t grow at all are massively increased

NEXT ON THE LIST – SOPRANO ICE LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT

Soprano ICE laser lets you treat all body areas and finally put a stop to unwanted hair. It gives you beautifully smooth skin from face to bikini zone to feet.

Its goal is hair follicles – the laser changes the energy from light to heat which detects the root of the follicle and destroys it. It needs the heat to work properly but it is virtually painless because there is a lower amount of energy that is pulsed 10 times a second. Once destroyed, the hair follicle can grow hair anymore – so it’s goodbye pesky hair forever.

As with any other laser hair removal treatment you can’t wax, tweeze or pluck the hair in between two sessions. Remember – the laser needs the follicle to destroy it properly.

After the initial series of sessions, if some persistent hair still grows back, you can easily solve this with touch-up treatment. This hair will be much thinner and finer in texture so the touch-up treatment can be finished fast.

There are some shortcomings of this laser – it doesn’t work on white, grey or ginger hair. This is because it needs melanin to destroy the follicle. Also, very fine and thin hair won’t be affected by this laser because it doesn’t have enough density. But otherwise, it works like a charm.

Most clients see positive results after just few treatments, but for the best results, you might need 8 to 12 treatment sessions.

WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY ABOUT SOPRANO ICE?

Again one of the biggest reasons why people chose this treatment is the removal of all unwanted hair once and for all. It is simple and so easily fitted into everyday life – you just pop to the clinic every six weeks, get your treatment and carry on with your daily routine. You don’t need to let your hair grow like with some other methods (waxing or epilation), you can just shave.

THE TREATMENT IS STRAIGHT FORWARD

This is what actually makes your life much easier. Each patient gets a customized treatment plan that includes the patient’s tolerance to the heat. You just get ultrasonic gel applied to your targeted area, in order to transport the laser energy and the therapist swiftly moves the applicator over the area. It is quickly over – for example when doing underarm it can be over in less than a minute. This area is sensitive and some say that they do feel a bit more heat because the hair is coarser here but it is definitely tolerable. Also, when done on bikini zone you again feel a bit more heat because the hair is also coarser in this area but nothing you can’t tolerate.

When doing shins, on the other hand, the therapist first marks the grid to be super precise when moving the applicator. This area is not so sensitive so you just feel a warm sensation without burning or tingling.

All in all the treatment is comfortable, some people feel it more but that’s just because we are all different and have different skin and different pain thresholds.

IT CAN BE DONE AT ANY TIME OF THE YEAR

This is another thing that makes Soprano ICE treatment super popular. It can even be performed in the summer and on tanned skin. So, again people can go on their summer holiday whenever they want to -they don’t have to plan them according to the treatment sessions or have their sessions only during cold weather.

IT IS EFFECTIVE

Finally, this is the best thing about this treatment – after a couple of weeks post-treatment, the hair starts to fall off. To get the best results you need between 6 and 12 sessions, but that’s all individual.

The laser works best for people with light skin tone and dark hair – the dark hair absorbs more heat and destroys the hair follicle. If you have lighter hair the laser will still bring you great results- you only need a few extra sessions. It’s just that lighter hair has less pigment and the laser works the best if the hair has more pigment, meaning the hair is darker.

The laser also works well if you have a darker skin tone it’s just that darker skin will steal away some of the laser energy. Again you will achieve great results with a couple of extra sessions.

It all boils down to this that people are so happy to have found this laser hair reduction treatment. They go relaxed to their sessions and don’t dread because of pain – it is completely tolerable and safe.

So, there you have it – it’s definitely a good idea to learn the facts about Laser hair removal devices and then choose the right one for yourself – this way you greatly save time, nerves, energy and of course money.

3. CATCH THE HAIR AT THE RIGHT MOMENT

At first, this sounded like an SCI-FI to me because laser is laser – energy, heat and it’s all over. But pretty soon I realized that when you treat your hair with a laser at the right moment of the hair growth, you get the best results. And it is simple to do it.

Hair is actually the one thing on your body that comes and goes easily. But, we all know that ‘easy go’ doesn’t describe stubborn hair that we need to deal with regularly in different ways – waxing, shaving, epilation, plucking. Whichever way you choose – it’s annoying, time-consuming and boring.

With laser hair removal, you just need to have your hair at the correct growth cycle and the magic happens.

Our body is covered with a lot of hair – 5 million to be precise. And it doesn’t grow at the same controlled time – it’s pretty much every hair for itself. This actually means that each hair has its own growth cycle, or better yet – three cycles.

Cycle number one – ANAGEN

This is the growth cycle.

Cycle number two – CATAGEN

This one is a phase between rest and growth.

Cycle number three – TELOGEN

This is the resting phase.

When the hair is in the second and third phases it is not good for laser removal because it doesn’t grow at these stages because it doesn’t get nourishment. The laser can’t affect it because this hair is already shedding. So the laser can’t reach the hair follicle and destroy it.

So, in order for the laser to work the hair needs to be in anagen or growth phase – it is fixed in the hair follicle.

The hair is growing and getting all the nourishment it needs. The body doesn’t shed this hair and when the laser energy travels to this hair, the melanin absorbs the light and turns it into heat. The heat goes to the hair follicle and destroys it – the hair doesn’t grow anymore. And that’s our goal.

It might look like a challenge to deal with 5 million hair and only some of them in the growing phase. But you solve this with more sessions until all hair has reached the anagen phase and can be destroyed at its follicle. That’s what makes laser hair removal effective – it doesn’t stop until each and every hair is caught.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT YOUR HAIR IS IN A GROWING PHASE?

It’s very simple – just pass across your skin with your hand and if you can feel your hair that’s it.

In the growing phase, you can see your hair above your skin because it is attached to the papilla which is a part of the hair follicle. The papilla is like a dent that resembles a knob at the base of the follicle. So, as already mentioned the laser will be effective in destroying the hair follicle if the hair is in the anagen phase. This phase lasts for 2 to 3 weeks, well at least when we talk about the body and facial phase.

This brings us to the question of why it is necessary to have more treatment sessions. In order to remove as much hair as possible in the treated area, the laser needs to hit the follicles. So, you need to come to your treatments every six weeks so that the laser can destroy the follicles that were previously resting and at the time of your appointment they reached the anagen phase. And so on until the majority of the hair gets eliminated, which happens approximately after 6 sessions. But, remember every skin and hair is different so you might need fewer or more treatment sessions to get that silky smooth skin.

A couple of months after my last session I had an unpleasant situation – some unknown, already treated hair started growing again. What’s that? I thought. Haven’t I got rid of all unwanted hair?

But I found out that this sometimes happens.

Some follicles rest for months. Why? Not sure about it. The telogen phase is quite uncertain – sometimes the hair can start growing after a couple of days and sometimes it doesn’t grow for a year. Why is this important for your laser hair removal? If hair starts growing again from these follicles and you thought that these follicles were destroyed by laser, don’t think that there was something wrong with your treatment. This hair was simply not seen and the laser simply couldn’t do its thing.

I didn’t want to go back to my previous hair grooming methods but I wanted my skin to be silky smooth again.

And then it hit me – touch-up treatment.

Since this is a completely normal thing you can get a touch-up treatment and destroy these few undesirable pesky hairs. Easy and simple – and your silky skin is back again.

4. PREPARE BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

The patient is having Laser hair removal in a safe environment

When I decided to start my laser hair removal journey, there were several things I needed to take care of regarding my skin. There aren’t a lot of preparations for the first and every sequent session but still in order to get the best results, follow a few simple tips.

INITIAL CONSULTATION WITH THE SKIN THERAPIST

This is something you should definitely do prior to having your first laser hair removal session because we are all different and have different types of skin. The therapist actually examines your skin and determines which treatment is the best for you – this way the precise parameters can be set to match the laser energy to your hair color and ofcourse not burn or otherwise damage your skin.

INFORM YOUR THERAPIST ABOUT MEDICATIONS

This is something you need to be straight with. Some medications can interfere with the effectiveness of the laser or they can make your skin more sensitive – you can more easily get burned.

One medication that you should stop taking 12 months before your first laser treatment is Accutane. Your skin becomes really photosensitive because of this medicine and you can get burns or blisters.

Other medications like some types of antibiotics can also make your skin sensitive to light – it’s best to postpone your laser treatment until you are finished with them. Generally, you can start with the treatment 7 to 10 days after your last dose – antibiotics should be out of your system by then.

You can also have a patch test but it’s not mandatory.

The patch test is done only if the Skin Therapist decides it’s necessary or you really believe it would be good for you to do it. It’s okay to have a patch test if you have never had a laser hair treatment before, or you have some bad experience with previous laser treatments.

The skin therapist also advises you on how to prepare best for the treatment.

STAY CLEAR OF THE SUN

This is important – if you have sunburned skin, the laser may damage your skin even more. You definitely don’t want that to happen. So avoid sun exposure for 1 to 2 weeks before your session.

TIP: If you need to spend time in the  sun, use a lot of high SPF. This way you will protect your skin.

Remember – it’s best to have a contrast between your skin and hair color. Then the laser works the best.

SORRY BUT NO ARTIFICIAL TAN EITHER

This goes for bronzers, tanning creams, tanning beds – anything that makes the color of your skin darker. Your tan needs to be steady before the treatment in order for the laser to work properly and doesn’t cause any unwanted side effects.

What I mean is that the laser will work the same on tanned skin and on untanned skin. But if your skin is tanned the laser will work on as if that is your real skin color – which actually isn’t, so the skin therapist can’t set the laser parameters properly.

Also, don’t bleach your skin 6 weeks before the treatment. In 6 weeks dark root of your hair will grow back and the laser will target the melanin in it and destroy the hair follicle.

DON’T THROW AWAY YOUR RAZOR JUST YET

Because this is the only way you can groom your hair before laser hair removal. So no depilatory creams, waxing, tweezing or plucking is allowed at least 5 to 6 weeks before the treatment. This is simply because the laser needs the root of the hair to be present to hit it and destroy it. With other forms of hair removal, the laser might not work properly.

If you don’t shave your legs, the hair absorbs the energy and gets heated – this can seriously burn your skin. Also, not enough energy will hit its goal – the hair follicle. This way you won’t get satisfying results.

Another thing – you need to shave your legs one day or a few hours before the treatment because your skin on the targeted area needs to be smooth so that the treatment applicator can glide properly over your skin. And shaving is the only hair grooming method that doesn’t affect the root of the hair.

DON’T USE PERFUMES

Or deodorants or lotions or other cosmetic products that you normally apply to your skin. There is a possibility that these products have tiny amounts of metal in them which may interfere with the laser and make it less effective. Also, a small residue of perfume on your skin can lead to a minor burn by laser – you don’t need that. So come to your laser hair removal treatment free of all beauty products.

I followed all of these recommendations during my laser hair removal journey and it really helped me to keep my skin safe and- more importantly – get the best results.

6. TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR SKIN AFTER LASER HAIR REMOVAL

When I finished with my first laser hair removal treatment, I realized that there are some awesome things you can do to nurture your skin and of course get the best results. These things are simple but they do keep your treated skin nourished before your next treatment session.

IT’S NORMAL TO HAVE MILD REDNESS AFTER THE TREATMENT

This is because you’re dealing with heat coming from the laser and your skin will be a little sensitive. But this is short – it should stop after 2 hours. You may experience that your skin is feeling a bit sunburned, but you can ease the discomfort by applying Aloe Vera, which is great in situation like this.

To prevent irritation don’t go swimming in chlorinated water and steer clear of hot baths, hot showers, saunas or steam rooms – all this can burn your skin. Also, take a break from working out in the gym – strenuous exercises make you sweaty, and sweat makes your skin irritated. So, take cool showers that will be soothing for your skin

BE GENTLE TO YOUR SKIN

Don’t wash the treated area with some harsh products – only mild soap and water is enough. Especially in the first 48hours, dry the skin with a soft cloth – don’t rub it. Also, in the first 24 hours don’t use topical skincare and other products like makeup, moisturizer or deodorant especially if you have treated the underarm area. It could irritate your already sensitive skin.

AND THEN THE MIRACLE – DEAD HAIR STARTS TO SHED

This is the moment we’ve all been waiting and it happens between 5 and 30 days after your procedure. This dead hair is a stubble that sheds from the follicle and falls out. This may seem as new hair is growing but it is just dead hair coming out of the follicle.

 TIP: To speed up the shedding exfoliate  your skin.

You can use a soft washcloth and mild scrub wash to help the hair fall out faster. Just wipe over your treated area incircles, a couple of times per week and you will finish the hair shedding and be ready for your next treatment.  Or you can just simply shave.

This brings us to the next tip – don’t scratch, wax, tweeze or pick the treated area. This method of hair grooming will destroy your hair follicles, and as you remember you need them for your laser treatment.  If you want to achieve the best results from your laser hair removal, just shave the treated area

AND FINALLY – AVOID THE SUN

This should be actually the first thing you do to protect your skin after laser treatment. Just don’t expose your skin too much to the sun because it could get irritated. This also goes for getting a fake tan – so again no tanning beds, tanning creams and others.

TIP: If you do need  to be in the sun always use a high SPF (25 or higher).

Remember that you need to protect your skin from the sun at least 4 weeks post-treatment.

There you go. These are the things that really help you to keep your skin safe during the two treatment sessions and they help to achieve the best results which are life-changing – after a proper number of sessions, you will never ever have to check for stubble again!

6. BE CONSISTENT WITH YOUR LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT PLAN

This part was crucial for me on my journey towards silky smooth skin. When you come to the aesthetic clinic, you get a customized treatment plan that includes when exactly you need to come for your next session. If you wait too long between two sessions you don’t get the results you expect and you may get back at square one.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU SKIP YOUR LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT?

Nothing – and that’s what causes problems. Your hair follicles don’t get damaged properly meaning they can still grow hair. You may see initial results but pretty soon your hair starts growing as it normally did.

Let me just quickly remind you about how hair grows because it is the reason why you need to come to your appointments regularly.

There are three phases of hair growth – anagen(growing), catagen (a phase between growing and resting) and telogen (resting or shedding phase).

And we’ve already established how laser works- it sends light energy to the hair follicles and transforms the light into heat that damages the follicles. And the laser works the best if your hair is in the anagen or growing phase because that’s the moment it actively produces the melanin that gives it its color and this melanin is what the laser hits. The laser treatment will be successful if your hair is in a growing phase.

Session after session, the hair follicles are more and more damaged. They may produce some hair but it will be thinner and feeble. Your hair will grow more and more slowly as your sessions advance.

The bottom line is that the laser can’t work on hair that is in the resting or shedding phase.

If you missed a session, that doesn’t mean that you need to give up entirely. Just go back on track right away. You just may need more treatment sessions to treat the hair you missed. If this hair was in a growing phase and you didn’t treat it, it will grow again. 30 to 40% of hair is in the resting phase which means that this hair is not in the follicle- so it might seem to you that it’s okay to skip one session. But it’s not because this hair will grow back again. That’s why you need to stick to your treatment plan and complete it to get all the unwanted hair gone forever.

There’s a reason why your sessions are spaced apart for 4 to 8 weeks. It depends on the area you are treating, your hair and skin type and your hair growth cycle. If you are treating hair on your face, for example, your skin therapist needs to tell you how much you need to wait until this hair grows back.

So waiting for example 6 weeks between two sessions, ensures that the hair will be in its growing phase and able to treat with laser. If you wait too long for your next session, your hair will move to its next phase and the laser won’t be able to treat it. And then you need to wait again until that hair is back in its growing phase – you unnecessarily prolong your laser hair removal journey. There is also the possibility that some of your hair follicles need more sessions to be completely damaged and if you miss a treatment they can get fully regenerated and grow hair again. You definitely don’t want that to happen.

Also, if you had just one treatment session and then another one after 3 months, you won’t have any results.

SO WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOU MISSED ONE TREATMENT SESSION?

Just go to your aesthetic clinic right away and get back on track. (and try not to miss any following sessions again).

You see, if you come to your session one week earlier or later that won’t affect your results. But the long gap between the two sessions definitely will. The reason is that it is impossible that 20% of your hair changes the phase of growth in just one week. But, again make sure you follow the schedule.

So, what’s the conclusion? Attend every session until your whole laser hair removal is complete. This way you will achieve the best results and eliminate undesirable hair. Remember that laser hair removal is a repeated process that eventually enables permanent hair reduction.

7. FIND THE BEST CLINIC FOR YOU – LET IT BE YOUR BEAUTY SANCTUARY

This is what really saves your nerves, time and money. Once I found a clinic I could trust with my laser hair removal, it was life-changing. Having an experienced skin therapist that is fully committed to you even though she has thousands of other patients is what makes an aesthetic clinic unique and above all a place that I would go for all my treatments.

When thinking about an aesthetic clinic for your laser hair removal journey you will definitely choose the one that meets your expectations and leaves you more than satisfied.

So, let me tell you about Lucia Clinic.

HUGE EXPERIENCE

This is perhaps the most important thing that singles out this aesthetic and dermatology clinic. They have been in the business for over a decade, meaning that they have years of experience in laser hair removal behind them.

When I say that they have a long experience with laser hair removal, I mean that they are experts in using Alma laser technology.

Their wide knowledge of the aesthetic world has led them to become a Key Opinion Leader for Alma Lasers.

THE BEST EQUIPMENT

When you are considering which aesthetic clinic to choose for laser hair removal, think about the safety and the equipment they are using.

Lucia Clinic uses only the latest and most efficient devices for hair removal treatments which guarantees that you will be safe – all the devices are of the best quality and meet the highest standards.

Soprano Titanium laser hair removal is aground-breaking treatment – Lucia Clinic is proud to have this device included in their treatments.

Soprano Ice laser hair removal is another advanced device that Lucia Clinic’s Team has been using for many years now.

TIP: You will make  your decision about which laser hair removal treatment to choose easily if  there are various devices.

You shouldn’t leave it up to chance that if a clinic has only one laser hair removal device, it will be just the right for you.

VERSATILITY

This means that the clinic guarantees the best results for patients with different types of skin and different types of hair. Lucia Clinic is proud to be successful in achieving amazing results in laser hair removal treatments with a minimum number of treatment sessions. This is something that definitely seals the deal – you know that no matter which type of skin and hair you have, Lucia’s Team will go an extra mile to provide you with satisfying results.

QUALIFIED STAFF

This is super important – a good aesthetic clinic has a team of experienced therapists with who you can have a consultation about your skin and treatment expectations. If you want to get the best laser hair removal results and later maintain those results, your treatments must be done by a skilled therapist. This way you feel more relaxed because you know that you will be in good hands and nothing will go wrong. In the end, you will walk out of the clinic knowing that you are on your way to finally getting silky smooth skin.

It goes without saying that Lucia Clinic has a team of qualified laser and skin therapists – they perform each treatment with experience, knowledge and efficacy. There is no way that some adverse reaction can happen because they pay extra attention to keeping you safe and sound. Whichever laser hair removal treatment you choose to have, all the parameters are carefully set to suit your skin type and hair type. We are all different – there aren’t two same customized treatment plans. Their motto is -treat each patient’s skin as if it was your own.

FRIENDLY STAFF

For me, this is also one of the key points in choosing an aesthetic clinic. I want my visit to the clinic to be a nice experience – remember, when you start your hair removal journey, you will be visiting the same clinic for several months. You need to feel comfortable there, or you will walk away.

Lucia Clinic’s team lacks neither experience nor a friendly atmosphere. You are always greeted with a smile and feel welcome.

HUGE REPUTATION

What describes a clinic better and more truthful than a huge number of satisfied clients. Lucia Clinic has earned its reputation by keeping the standards of a successful business. They treat each and every patient with respect and care and their patients would never consider changing a clinic. That’s how much they are satisfied with the results, treatments and service.

Lucia Clinic has been in the business of laser hair removal for more than a decade. Lucia’s team always says that beautiful skin is healthy skin.

Let’s always remember the words of Michelle Obama -There is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish.

To Lucia Clinic, celebrating International Women’s Day means celebrating women to the fullest – their strength, kindness, freedom and choice. Women are empowered to live their lives as they choose to. Being able to make their own choices, women have become more self-confident and have taken the control of how they want to look. They don’t need to look great for others – it’s all about feeling great in their own skin.

This March, Lucia Clinic is offering great treatments for women to make them feel special. The treatments are non-invasive, safe and comfortable. The treatments offer natural results and they awake every women’s unique beauty.

GET RADIANT SKIN WITH LUCIA’S MESOTHERAPY AND CHEMICAL PEEL TREATMENT

Every woman has the right to feel beautiful. And the face is the first thing that reveals beauty and radiance. And it is well known that struggling with facial skin concerns causes a major lack of self-esteem. These skin issues can include wrinkles, blemishes, scars or simply dull-looking skin. This March women can start their journey towards more radiant and healthy-looking skin with these two powerful treatments. So if you feel unhappy about the state of your skin, choose to change that feeling. Make your skin glowing and youthful-looking again because you want to not because you need to.

NURTURE YOUR SKIN WITH MESOTHERAPY

Mesotherapy treatment rejuvenates your skin in such a wonderful way – your skin heals itself in the most natural way. With the help of microinjections, your skin is infused with antioxidants, vitamins and other extracts that are beneficial for your skin’s health. Apart from this, Mesotherapy treatment hydrates your skin and keeps it younger-looking. The treatment represents a revolution in injectable aesthetic procedures – it can do so much for your skin. The cocktail of nurturing ingredients enhances your skin in a safe, fast and most importantly effective way.

RESTORING SKIN’S BRIGHTNESS HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER

And your skin does it with its own healing processes – with a little boost of this amazing treatment. With simultaneous mechanical and chemical stimulation, mesotherapy involves two important actions that contribute to the healing of your skin. Microinjections create micro-damages that trigger the production of collagen and elastin – super important proteins that keep your skin firm and youthful. Next to this, your skin is inserted with special solutions chosen according to your skin type, condition or concerns. This is what makes Mesotherapy treatment special – you can get a tailor-made treatment that will address your special and one-of-a-kind skin.

REVITALIZE YOUR SKIN WITH LUCIA’S REVITALIZING MESOTHERAPY TREATMENT

Lucia’s team offers only the highest quality services and the best products – Mesotherapy solutions are no exception. With their patient’s safety and comfort in the first place, Lucia’s team uses absolutely efficient and as we already mentioned custom-made mesotherapy solutions. Even though the solutions specifically target your skin concerns that can be scars, wrinkles or lack of skin brightness they have a few things in common – they all improve your blood circulation. Also, they can increase Hyaluronic acid in your skin which is awesome because you already have this powerful ingredient in your skin. There is never enough HA, so boosting it with Mesotherapy treatment will keep it on its highest level. HA is important for keeping your skin hydrated and thus beautifully refreshed.

Don’t forget that this month you can get two treatments in one and combine Mesotherapy with a Chemical peel. We want you to feel extra special and enhance your natural beauty even more.

IMPROVE YOUR SKIN APPEARANCE WITH A CHEMICAL PEEL

Next to the benefits of Mesotherapy, you can improve your skin additionally with a mild chemical peel. The treatment is completely safe and brings even better results alongside Mesotherapy. If you’re dealing with hyperpigmentation, sun spots or wrinkles, chemical peels can resolve these skin concerns and reveal smoother and more radiant skin. By gradually peeling the top layer of the skin, your skin tone and texture get improved and wrinkles and fine lines become less visible.

DISCOVER THE BEAUTY OF CHEMICAL PEELS

The beauty of Chemical Peels lies in their versatility. You can get a light and mild peel all depending on your skin conditions and of course your expectations from the treatment. It makes your skin radiant. No matter which one is the best for your skin, this awesome skin-resurfacing treatment will leave your skin with a smoother texture and brighter complexion.

A COMBINATION OF CHEMICAL PEEL AND MESOTHERAPY WILL BRING YOU THE BEST RESULTS

Why is this combo so powerful? Because it improves your skin on the inside and on the outside. First, you get Mesotherapy to infuse your skin with vitamins and hyaluronic acid. Your skin concerns like wrinkles and fine lines will gradually become less visible and your skin will get firmer and brighter.  Next, you have a chemical peel, chosen according to your needs, to gently exfoliate the superficial layer of your skin. The peel removes superficial dead skin cells and improves the absorption of mesotherapy solutions. Alongside chemical peel, Mesotherapy will enhance your skin radiance, make sure your skin stays hydrated and boost the final results.

FEEL SPECIAL WITH A SPECIAL 2-IN-1 TREATMENT

This March you can do something really awesome for your skin. Since it is International Women’s Day it is a perfect time to pamper yourself and feel great. These two treatments make your skin tone brighter and give you that desired smooth skin texture. Even though you are not looking for dramatic results, you will get rejuvenated facial skin, that nobody will miss out to notice. On top of that, Mesotherapy will eliminate all the micro damages your skin is suffering from and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It will nourish the surface layer of your skin and boost collagen production – it’s time to look as young as you feel. This feeling is precious and will make you feel special that you are a woman and that you chose to do something for your skin.

Another treatment that you can treat yourself this March is EmSculpt NEO – a super-powerful procedure that re-shapes your body contours and brings you that desired silhouette.

MAKE YOUR BODY FIT WITH LUCIA’S EMSCULPT NEO TREATMENT

Sometimes, no matter how much you try, you simply can’t get rid of those unwanted fat pockets on your buttocks, thighs, arms or abdomen.

Your EmSculpt NEO treatment will definitely be pleasant, but more importantly, it will make your skin smoother, your targeted body area slimmer and your targeted muscles stronger.

YOU WILL LOVE LUCIA’S TREATMENTS DESIGNED ESPECIALLY FOR YOU

International Women’s Day is such an important holiday because it represents how much women have achieved in order to feel accepted and equal in this world. One of the examples of women’s empowerment is the freedom to do something to enhance their natural beauty and feel great in their own bodies. Lucia Clinic greatly supports the idea of a holistic approach to aesthetic treatments so their procedures give natural and subtle results.

This March you can try non-invasive, beauty treatments and make your skin refreshed and youthful-looking with a powerful combination of Chemical peel and Mesotherapy. Or you can choose to re-shape your body contours with EmSculpt NEO. It’s all up to you. Just remember, whichever treatment you choose to get you will feel special.

Love is in the air this February at Lucia Clinic. We are more than glad to welcome this fantastic married couple that continues to amuse and inspire the world with their Instagram posts. They are famous influencers that prove that love, devotion and support go a long way and are imperative for mutual growth and a healthy relationship. Khalid was huge support for Salama when she was launching her brand of beauty products and Salama stood by Khalid when he was chasing his dream of becoming a storyteller. Their mutual support is what kept them strong and determined to succeed in all their ventures. They have achieved so much together.

Apart from having busy careers of creating content on a daily basis, Salama and Khalid are advocates of a healthy lifestyle. Doing something great for yourself is beneficial for all of us and helps us to tackle the challenges that life brings us. This couple understands this completely and never misses a chance to visit Lucia Clinic and nurture their body and soul.

Khalid has been on a journey of transformation and his weight loss is truly inspirational. A regular fitness regime and a balanced diet can really pay off.

He has also become a huge fan of Lucia’s Facials because this treatment helps him to feel refreshed and rejuvenated. These facial treatments are tailored especially for him by Dr. Lukian and address specifically his skin concerns. Lucia’s Facials keep the skin clean, they exfoliate the dead skin cells and extract the dirt. They are finished with a soothing hydrating mask that makes the skin healthy and glowing.

What’s awesome about this couple is that they come to Lucia Clinic together and share even their beauty treatments – it’s really inspiring how they support each other and try to spend so much time together.

Salama has also included Lucia’s Facial in her skincare routine – it is a really fast treatment and you can see the results right away. The skin is softer, more radiant and smooth. Facials are non-irritating, refreshing and suitable for all skin types – even the sensitive ones like Salama’s skin.

She has tried Aquagold treatment – an incredible procedure that includes delivering powerful ingredients into the skin using micro-needling technology. Dr. Lukian created a bespoke treatment just for Salama – it included hydrating and improving the overall state of her skin. This treatment is so brilliant because it actually includes two therapies – microneedles boost the renewal of skin cell and collagen production, and serums enhance the results even more.  The treatment is really fast – it lasts for 20 minutes and it easily fits into Salama’s busy schedule.

Another treatment that is among Salama’s favorites is EmSculpt NEO – the next generation of body sculpting treatments. It is great because it takes fitness regimes and balanced diets to the next level. In just 30 minutes it can have impact on the muscles in the treated area. At the same time, it reduces stubborn fat pockets – in just 4 sessions you can eliminate up to 30% of fat on the treated area. It delivers absolutely magnificent results. It is perfect for people who want to firm, sculpt and strengthen their bodies.

But the support that this couple has one for another doesn’t end here – it is present in every aspect of their lives.

Salama as she says alone is “blessed with vitiligo”, a skin condition that results in uneven patches of lost skin color. It was a struggle for her, but she embraced this condition and started a wonderful journey towards self-love. She encourages others to accept their beauty because we are all unique and beautiful in our own ways. She openly shares with others everything about her journey to self-acceptance and inspires people not to hide their differences but to feel empowered and celebrate them. Khalid stood by her all the time and supported her ideas and joined her when she promoted awareness on vitiligo. Being active on social media really helped her to reach people with her inspiring messages and she got nothing but positive feedback.

The first thing about loving and accepting yourself is changing the way you look at yourself. It can be challenging but it is important to try to accept all your special qualities. Surrounding with positivity and support can help you in this process. Finally, being at peace with yourself is what represents self-love. It’s important to love and cherish your skin. Her positive messages really help others to feel good about themselves and know that they are not alone.

Salama has launched a beauty brand Peacefull in her pursuit of ways to improve skincare concerns. The products are made with love and designed for sensitive skin. They do as their name says – keep your skin at peace. With their active ingredients that consist only of natural formulas, they are perfect for high temperatures in Dubai. They don’t contain sulfates, synthetic fragrances or parabens – they only contain ingredients of high quality.

Dr.Lukian herself is an enormous fan of Salama’s beauty products and describes them as light, absorbable and super hydrating. The products are ideal for the skin that is often exposed to the sun. One of her favorites is Peptide Eye Cream which moisturizes the skin and prevents dark circles. So, once more Salama has proved that with hard work and dedication and of course support from her loving husband it’s possible to overcome challenges and give something special to the world.

But the story of this beloved couple doesn’t end here.

Khalid has YouTube, Instagram and TikTok channels where he posts videos about love, family and life in general. He is known as an enthusiastic storyteller and shares inspiring and moving videos. He started this with the idea of bringing the world closer together – we all can live in peace and harmony. His videos are truly unique – they are humorous and personal and yet everyone can relate to them. They portray everyday marriage life in a funny and entertaining way. Of course, Khalid includes Salama in most of the videos as she supports and believes in him 100 percent. She takes part in his efforts to demystify traditional UAE marriage. She even helps him edit the videos.

They say that these videos have brought them even closer – they show their moments together, challenges they have overcome and how they got stronger with each and every hardship. These videos have made this couple one of the most entertaining and beloved – as a fanbase over one million proves it.

Khalid is very much loved by the community and people positively react to all his efforts. In his Facebook group, people can talk about their experiences and support each other. Everyone is listened and accepted. It’s inspirational how he accomplished to create a global community where everybody is free to share his/her story without judging. This is something the world really needs right now.

While they are both busy entrepreneurs and successful content creators, they never forget to spend quality time as a family. As parents of two boys, they constantly share photos of them with huge smiles on their faces and in an atmosphere that shows love and affection. They travel together and spread joy and positivity through their Instagram reels. There is an abundance of support and care in this family. They never fail to inspire their audience with their genuine and hilarious videos and always strive to post fresh and exciting content.

Let’s not forget to mention their humanitarian side. They donate funds to UAE resident fighting against breast cancer, contribute to charities and so much more. This lovely couple really represents everything the world needs – they never forget to give back to the community. Even though they are immensely successful and popular influencers they are down to earth – they always keep in mind that there are those that are less fortunate. This is something we all need to remember. Salama and Khalid are true role models of what our society needs. They have really impacted the world in a positive way and they will continue to inspire people in the future.

Love and support never fail – this amazing couple is a true example. Even with their busy careers of creating inspiring content on a daily basis, they still find the time to look after their health. Regularly visiting Lucia Clinic helps them to keep their skin radiant and youthful-looking but also to unwind from a busy lifestyle. It’s important to find the time for relaxing and pampering. Another thing that makes this couple extra special is that they enjoy their beauty treatment together – this shows how married couples can share so many different experiences.

Lucia Clinic is always more than glad to welcome this beloved couple and they have made this month of love really wonderful for Dr. Lukian and her team.

 We love you Salama and Khalid and we are looking forward to seeing you again.

Dermal fillers are a transformative solution for enhancing natural beauty and restoring youthful contours.

1. HYALURONIC ACID FILLERS ARE PREAPPROVED BY YOUR BODY

Imagine you are buying shoes – there are sneakers, flats, heels and so on. You wouldn’t buy heels if you’re not a big fan of them. You would buy the ones you need. It’s the same with fillers in the way that they can be of different types and do different things. When you know this you will get the best results from your dermal filler treatment.

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers are anti-aging favorites. It’s simple -HA is already present in your body, so these fillers actually work in your service. They restore lost hyaluronic acid and are biodegradable and biocompatible. This feature of HA Fillers is awesome because your body easily accepts them and treats them as natural HA. Plus they hydrate and regenerate your skin.

Imagine a foundation matrix for your skin -that’s what HA Fillers provide. HA can retain water more than 1000 times its weight and it binds elastin and collagen by transporting important nutrients to these fibers.

But,

When we turn 28 we lose 1% of HA every year.

So, it’s time to do something about it. HA Fillers make up for the loss of Hyaluronic Acid and boost collagen and elastin.

Collagen and elastin work as super supporters of the structure of your skin so it’s a good idea to have an abundance of them.

HA Fillers can have different properties which determine their performance. But, the thing which makes them beloved is the strong Hydrogen bonds. This is what keeps them stable and manufacturers don’t need to use chemicals to achieve their stability.

These natural  bonds are a plus which makes HA Dermal Fillers suitable for almost everybody.  

If you are wondering how HA Fillers behave when they are injected, don’t. They are gel-like and are invisible under the skin. They stretch and compress as your muscles move – you don’t even feel them.

Expert application of dermal fillers ensures natural and long-lasting results.

Superficial and deeper HA Fillers

 This is another thing that differentiates HA Fillers – the depth of their injection. If they are injected only into the superficial layers of your skin they need to spread over the connective tissue and sit smoothly in those layers.

If they are injected into deeper layers they need to support and give volume to your skin and not spread out easily.

One feature of HA Fillers which really comes in handy especially if you are not satisfied with their appearance is that they can be easily dissolved by a special solution. Not that you will need this, because if fillers are done by a doctor there is a small chance of an adverse event.

One more thing that will put you at ease if you shy away from needles is that HA Fillers contain a numbing agent so you won’t feel uncomfortable during the treatment.

NOT ALL HYALURONIC ACID FILLERS ARE THE SAME

This is something worth remembering because it will help you understand why your doctor is using a thicker filler in one facial area and a lighter filler in another.

It’s pretty simple – Fillers have different densities or more specifically different G Prime. A high G Prime means that the Filler is thicker and is awesome for building facial structures like cheekbones for example.

The point is that some HA Fillers are used to fill and smooth only superficial wrinkles, while others are best for moderate to severe wrinkles. Also, some can be injected to add volume for mild lifting and contouring the face while others are perfect for lips augmentation, filling deep folds and restoring general fulness of the face.

2. NON-HA FILLERS HAVE THEIR BENEFITS

Different fillers do different things. This actually means that fillers have different textures, injection depth and density so some work better for specific areas than others. If you want to enhance your lips you will get softer fillers while if your goal is to enhance cheekbones you will get thicker fillers. It’s that simple.

The good news is that there are a lot of dermal fillers that  are FDA-approved. Always look for these fillers and also famous brand-name  fillers because you’ll know you are on the right track.

 And of course, only let the experienced dermatologist get close to your face with injections.

Poly-L-Lactic Acid or PPLA is a unique filler because it boosts the production of collagen and fibroblast. It dissolves after a few days and stimulates your body to produce collagen.

It takes sometime for this filler to kick in and give results – approximately 6 months. This is what makes the major difference between PPLA Filler and other fillers – it doesn’t give you immediate results. But once that new collagen is produced, the results are completely natural and the effects last up to two years. That’s something don’t you think?

It is an awesome filler for adding volume and smoothing deep wrinkles and it gives your face a great structure and frame.

Calcium-based microspheres Filler is in a form of a water-based gel. Calcium hydroxylapatite is something that we all have in our bones. It’s used in reconstructive surgery and dentistry and it’s very safe. As a Dermal Filler, it can give you immediate and extended results – it boosts collagen production and tissue regeneration.

This filler is perfect for improving moderate to severe wrinkles and folds and for cheek augmentation. It gives your facial skin a nice structure and firmness.

It is also soft and gel-like but thicker than HA fillers – this makes it last longer than HA fillers. It can stay in your treated area for 12 months.

Polycaprolactone Filler (PCL) is biodegradable and absorbable and can be used for defining facial features, correction of asymmetries and of course filling up wrinkles.
It boosts production of collagen and increases elastin and hyaluronic acid. As we all know, these three things firm and hydrate the skin and make it more elastic. Once the collagen is built up the skin looks completely rejuvenated. This filler is different than others in the sense that it can stay for a really long time – up to 4 years. And since it is biocompatible it shouldn’t cause any adverse reaction.

Word of advice:

 Since it is not a natural substance you might want to use it in small amounts first and then add if necessary.

Measuring and precise filler application for symmetry and balance.

KNOW WHICH FILLER IS THE BEST FOR YOU

As we said, each filler is different and has its advantages. Different fillers have different textures, densities and duration so you can’t use the same filler to plump your lips and enhance your cheekbones for example. Also, the severity of your facial wrinkles will determine which filler will work for you.

Remember:

Dermal Filler  that worked for your friend might not work for you.

But if you decide to try Dermal Fillers you are not alone – your doctor will help you choose the best treatment option. There is a thorough consultation before the procedure which involves examining your facial anatomy and taking all your skin concerns into account. The doctor determines what kind of wrinkles you have, which areas you would like to address and how long you wish the results to last.

Also, your doctor needs to understand what you wish to get from the treatment so just be open and say all your goals and expectations from filler treatment. Only then you can truly achieve the best outcomes and of course, be satisfied with your new look.

3. ONE INJECTION OF DERMAL FILLER CAN SMOOTH AND PLUMP YOUR SKIN SO MUCH

So, you have decided to try Dermal fillers because you are bothered with your facial wrinkles and folds or with your sunken cheeks. But you don’t want to go overboard, and that’s OK because in the case of Dermal fillers less is more. With the proper amount of this aesthetic enhancer, you can achieve complete rejuvenation of your skin in a natural way. You don’t want your face to look like a pillow.

So how much filler is enough?

If placed correctly only a few milliliters.

It also depends on the product and on how old you are.

If you are in your forties, fifties or sixties, generally you need from 3 or 4 ml. If you are in your late twenties or thirties, you can get awesome results with 1 to 2 ml. But, it’s all individual.

It’s also individual when we talk about different areas of your face. So let’s cover them area by area.

Lips – usually it is only necessary to get half or one ml of fillers.

With half, you get a subtle and very natural result. With one ml, you get noticeable but still natural results.

Temples– it is a larger area so 1 ml for each side is usually enough.

This amount of fillers adds volume to this sometimes overlooked facial area and makes it youthful-looking again.

Jawline and lower face – 1 to 2 ml per side are generally enough.

Cheeks – for the mid-cheeks half to 1 ml is generally used. For lateral cheeks one ml on each side is enough.

This amount of fillers will restore the volume in this facial area and bring you dramatic improvements.

Hands – there are different products that can be used and generally, from 1 ml per hand is injected.

Teartrough – from only half ml per side is enough if you had fillers done in the upper cheek first for support.

Wrinkles and scars – half to one ml, depending on the area.

You don’t need to treat your whole face with fillers, maybe you just have one or two areas that have significantly lost volume or you have deeper wrinkles there. Focusing on those areas can make a big difference with only a single treatment.

So, consult with your dermatologist first. In the end, they are here to help you get the best results.

Just keep in mind that

The best results are the natural results.

4. ADD VOLUME AND SHAPE TO YOUR LIPS

The doctor is massaging the patient’s lips after administering Dermal Filler

Some people have naturally plump and full lips, but maybe you don’t fall into this category. And also as your lips are maturing they become thinner – again this doesn’t go in your favor. This can all change with this simple treatment and a small amount of Dermal fillers. Your overall look can dramatically change.

All you need is a few treatment sessions -take it slowly.

Why?

You will gradually get used to fuller lips  and avoid over-plumping them.

Over-plumping lips can easily happen if you go over the top and get too many fillers (you might have noticed it on some celebrities). Let’s face it – it doesn’t look natural and therefore it is not attractive.

But again you are not alone in this process. Together with your doctor, you will work out how much of the filler you actually need to achieve the desired results.

Usually,

The lower lip needs more and the upper lip needs less or very  little of the filler.

 This way you are guaranteed to get a natural look.

You want to enhance your lips but it doesn’t have to be obvious that you had fillers.

The most popular lip fillers are HA Fillers because they plump your lips but also keep them hydrated. Remember that HA can hold a large amount of water which actually gives you a more natural look.

The best part is that lip fillers can last between 6 to 18 months and you can kiss almost right away – there is minimal to no downtime.

In the end, Dermal Fillers can make your lips fuller or they can be a great anti-aging treatment for restoring lost volume. You can change the shape of your lips and give them a better structure and get a better smile. Just imagine your new and perfect smile on your selfies.

5. SMOOTH OUT YOUR LAUGH LINES

Can you imagine yourself never smiling because you want to avoid laugh lines? Of course not. Laughing is a normal part of our lives, but it does bring those annoying lines around our mouths. You can’t avoid them especially if you are over-expressive. Add maturing to that and you end up with deeper lines and folds that make you older than you are – nobody wants that. But Dermal fillers can help you make them less visible and still keep all your facial expressions.

Achieve smoother, plumper skin with professionally administered dermal fillers.

You might have heard some other names for laugh lines like Nasolabial folds and Marionette lines.

 Smile lines are formed further outward than the nasolabial folds.

 Nasolabial folds are the lines that form from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your lips. They can also appear because of the loss of volume in your cheeks. Fillers are injected right in those folds and make your skin instantly plumper and youthful-looking. If your nasolabial folds are severely deep you can even get fillers in the surrounding area which restores the volume that is lost and softens these folds.

Even though the procedure is not permanent it can last you for 6 to 12 months.

Marionette lines are not so much formed because of laughing but more because of aging and loss of fat in the upper part of the face. The skin sags downward and forms these folds which make you appear sad even if you don’t feel like that.

These lines can be pretty deep so Dermal fillers work like a charm here. They plump the folds and give you a smoother appearance. You can even get fillers in your cheeks to give them more volume and make up for the lost fat pads. Your skin gets subtly lifted and marionette lines get reduced.

HA Fillers are awesome for all these facial wrinkles and will bring your skincare to the next level – they will take years off your face.

6. CONTOUR YOUR JAW AND CHIN

The doctor is contouring the patient’s jawline with Dermal Fillers

There are a lot of reasons why people are unhappy with the look of their jawline or chin. It could be their age that makes the lower area of the face sag. It could be genetics and they are predisposed to having a small chin or weak jawline that makes their face appear disproportionate.

If you are dealing with similar aesthetic concerns then Dermal filler is a great option – they can re-contour this area of your face.

Even though beauty is in the eye of the beholder, a strong and prominent chin and jawline appear more attractive. The amazing feature of Dermal fillers is that they can make your lower area of the face more proportionate looking together to the rest of your face.

Heard of the Golden ratio?

If your face  is better proportioned it is more attractive.

If you have a short or squared chin, chin fillers can make your face appear longer and slimmer.

Small enhancement of your lower facial area can do so much for your general appearance.

If you want to contour your chin, you will get fillers injected right into the chin which will make the skin firmer and make it more defined.

If you want to enhance your jawline, you will get fillers injected again into your chin and in the corners of the jaw. Maybe even in the cheekbones which will additionally lift your jawline.

After the treatment, your chin and jawline will be more pronounced and better-contoured and you will finally be able to have that ideal facial profile.

7. TECH-NECK LINES ARE OUT

Are you keeping your chin down while you are reading this?

You can guess right away that these lines appear after spending a lot of time in front of the computer or mobile. The repeated motions of your neck lead to the so-called tech neck. If you look down at the screen and bend your neck downwards chances are you got these lines -the skin on your neck is constantly folding and these horizontal lines are formed. Dermal fillers can restore the smoothness of your neck and make it look youthful again.

We should point out that these lines also appear because of aging. The skin on your neck is much more delicate so it easily gets wrinkled and loose.

Be that as it may, Dermal fillers do wonders in both cases of necklines. The results are instant – the skin on your neck looks plumper and smoother.

What if your tech-neck lines extend down to your décolletage?

 This is not surprising because the muscles in your neck are almost always moving and can lead to crepey skin on your décolletage.

You can easily solve this by having fillers injected into this area of your body.

You will get two things – rejuvenation and  hydration of your décolletage.

So with one treatment you can get rid of tech-neck lines and make your décolletage plumper and firmer.

8. ELIMINATE THE HOLLOWNESS UNDER YOUR EYES

The eyes say so much. They are perhaps the most beautiful part of the face. They can lose their brightness so easily as the years pass and the skin underneath them loses collagen and elastin. With the loss of these super important proteins, the skin loses its volume and structure and turns hollow. Have you noticed this? If yes, then it’s time to tackle it with the help of fillers.

This hollowness we are talking about is sometimes also called the tear trough. You can easily restore the plumpness and lost volume underneath your eyes with Dermal fillers.

Fillers will provide you with instant results and also boost your skin to produce more collagen – this area of your face will get even more volume in the long term.

Just remember that-

The skin in this area is one of the most delicate on your body  and the Filler treatment must be done only by a doctor.

 You don’t want to end up with adverse reactions.

The fillers used for treating hollowness underneath your eyes have HA and are gentle but also powerful when it comes to plumping your skin.

You can enjoy the effects of this filler treatment for 6 to 12 months and then you can get an additional touch-up.

Apart from treating hollowness, fillers will reduce dark circles, fine lines around your eyes and eye bags.

So forget about feeling uncomfortable because you appear tired and stressed because of the way your eyes look. With Dermal fillers, your eyes will restore their brightness and you will look fresh and rejuvenated.

9. INVIGORATE YOUR HANDS

Similar to the area underneath your eyes, the skin on your hands is also very thin and becomes even thinner with age. Just imagine how much you expose your hands to different environmental factors like sun, water, wing or just simply wearing away. They are sometimes even more exposed than your face. So, you end up with hands that have blemishes and wrinkles or a crepey appearance. If you can relate to this then you will be pleased to hear that Dermal fillers can rejuvenate your hands by restoring the firmness and smoothness to their skin.

So how do Dermal Fillers do it?

When you get fillers injected into your hands, they immediately plump them up and make wrinkles, bones and veins less visible.

Your doctor strategically injects the fillers and massages them into their place. This way the fillers shape around the contours of your hands and don’t limit any of your movements.

Remember,

Always go to  a skilled doctor who has plenty of experience in injecting Fillers  into hands.

This way you will be certain that this doctor understands hand anatomy and also will know how deep to inject the fillers. If it’s too deep the fillers won’t last that long. If it’s too close to the surface of the skin they will be visible. You definitely don’t want that because your final results won’t be natural-looking.

10.FIRM YOUR EARLOBES

You probably don’t pay much attention to this part of your body but as you age you will definitely notice them more. With time earlobes start to sag especially if you wear heavy earrings. Or they can also get wrinkles and fine lines. Luckily and somewhat surprisingly, Dermal fillers can tighten your earlobes and plump them up.

Using dermal fillers in your earlobes will eliminate creases and lines and add volume – your earrings will look much better against your face.

Where are fillers injected?

The doctor injects the filler all over your earlobe especially in the areas where your skin is droopy or very thin.

Good news:

You need only a tiny amount of fillers to get  the best result.

Again if you get too much your ears will look swollen.

Fillers used in your earlobes last longer than fillers used in other facial areas.

11. TREAT ACNE SCARS WITH THIS GAME-CHANGING PROCEDURE

Acne scars can be pretty tricky to treat. You might turn to chemical peels or laser therapy and get good results. But this depends on the type of acne scars you have. Since there are different types of acne scars that are difficult to clear, the good news is that dermal fillers can help you even here.

Dermal fillers work best if you have depressed or rolling acne scars.

As dermal fillers are injected underneath your scars they get lifted up and evened out with the surrounding skin. You get smoother and brighter skin.

One more thing – injected dermal fillers will trigger collagen and elastin production. Your skin starts to heal itself and gradually makes the scars less visible.

There are also types of fillers that can break up the bands in your skin that are responsible for scars and make the existing scars less noticeable.

When it comes to the amount of filler for acne scars, typically you need 1 to 2 ml, but it is all individual.

Fillers used for acne scars are HA fillers because hyaluronic acid is already present in your body and there is little to no risk of inflammation. Your dermatologist can create a customized treatment plan just for your acne scars issues.

What’s great about fillers, in this case, is that they give you immediate results and almost no downtime. They are less invasive than some other acne scar procedures and improve your skin during the next couple of months.

If you are wondering whether your acne scars will return after fillers wear off that’s Okay. Fillers are temporary and their effects can last for a few months to a whole year.

So, your acne scars might return to some extent, but they will never be as severe as before you got the fillers. And you can solve this with a simple touch-up treatment once a year.

12. ENHANCE YOUR CHEEKS

If you desire better contoured and well-defined cheeks, dermal fillers are perfect for you because they give support to your facial tissue. The need for dermal fillers may come from the loss of volume in this area of your face because the density of the bone has reduced and the skin has started to get thin.

Dermal fillers are injected around and above your cheekbones and voila – you instantly get better-defined bone structure. Also, you get another benefit – fine lines and wrinkles smooth out in this area.

Of course, a proper amount of dermal fillers just give you a naturally lifted look.

Getting too  much filler in your cheeks will make your face look like an overinflated  pillow – you will constantly appear swollen.

This is not the look you wish to achieve.

The best fillers to use for cheek augmentation are HA and polylactic fillers. They are temporary and will give a nice structure to your cheeks. Fillers will add volume and hydration to your cheeks and you will instantly look younger and refreshed.

‍

13.GET RID OF HOLLOW TEMPLES

Another great benefit of dermal fillers is that they can add volume to your temples and create a healthy and symmetrical look to your face. If you have a long narrow face you definitely know what we are talking about and notice your hollow temples even more. With dermal fillers, you can restore a round-looking face again.

Again, here it is crucial to know who is doing the procedure in order to avoid complications like optical nerve damage. A skilled dermatologist will use a cannula here to make sure that the filler goes to its proper place at the right angle and not cause damage to the surrounding nerves.

If you are wondering what a cannula is – it is a thin tube used in dermatology for many procedures and administering dermal fillers is just one of them. It’s a better choice in this case because a needle could damage the nerves in the temples or send the filler to the wrong place.

So, make sure  to double-check who is performing dermal fillers for the temples procedure.

The best fillers that are used here are again HA and PLLA fillers. The PLLA fillers take some time to kick in and boost the production of collagen but the effects can last for years.

With HA fillers you will get instant results that will last for a year and a half approximately.

Both fillers are great for filling in the hollow areas and replacing the fat loss in your temples.

TIP: If you get fillers that promote collagen  production, massage the area every day to prevent the appearance of lumpy  nodules.

14. LIQUID NOSE JOB – CONTOUR YOUR NOSE

You’ve heard about a surgical nose job or rhinoplasty – maybe you have even considered getting it. But you changed your mind because of various reasons – cost, long recovery time, fear because it’s permanent and so on. The good news is that there is an alternative – dermal fillers.

Yes, you can even get minor changes on your nose with fillers. You can visually reduce bumps or lift droopy tips. With fillers, you can add extra volume to your nose, improve symmetry and contour your nose profile. The final result is a straight nose and a narrow profile.

The downside of liquid rhinoplasty is that you can’t reduce the width of your nose. So if you already have a wide nose, fillers are not a good option for you.

The best part is that the results are immediate. You don’t have to wait for swelling to settle after surgery to see what your nose looks like.

You leave the clinic with a new nose the same day you came.

 This is ideal if you want to reshape your nose for a special occasion and you don’t have a lot of time to spare.

But getting a liquid nose job isn’t a straightforward treatment and it must be done by a professional –  doctor with a good knowledge of nose anatomy and a good eye for aesthetics. You see, the dermatologist must inject the filler very carefully as if he/she is grafting your nose with cartilage. But before all this, the dermatologist assesses your facial anatomy and sees how your nose and chin are balanced. To get a perfectly balanced profile the whole face needs to be examined.

As with all the fillers, liquid rhinoplasty is not permanent which is great because if you don’t like the results you are not stuck with them forever. If you got HA fillers, you can get them easily dissolved. Or just wait for them to get naturally absorbed by your body.

But if you  really like the way liquid rhinoplasty improved your appearance, you can  decide to get a traditional nose job surgery – you will already know how your  nose will look, so it’s great for reducing the anxiety about the results.

15. LIQUID FACELIFT – ENHANCE YOUR FACE

Before and after photo of Dermal Fillers treatment for enhancing the whole face

If you have decided to try out fillers and you want to enhance your whole face – good idea! As fillers are much less invasive than traditional facelift surgery, you get immediate results, rejuvenate your face, soften wrinkles and fine lines and plump your skin all at once.

A liquid facelift is a brilliant procedure that fills all the places where you have lost volume because of the loss of collagen and elastin. With fillers, you fight gravity and aging signs – and you win.

When compared to a traditional facelift, a liquid facelift is less painful, safer and the recovery time is much shorter -you can go to work the next day.

It brings a lot of benefits as the facelift does but it also plumps your skin, while facelift stretches your skin. So, with the liquid facelift, you get more subtle and natural-looking results.

Generally, a liquid facelift is perfect if you have mild to moderate wrinkles or sagging skin – in your 30s or 40s.  You can get fillers injected under your eyes, around your cheeks, chin and jowls, in your temples, next to the eyebrows and into nasolabial folds. But you don’t need to do all that – you can treat just some areas of your biggest concern.

The most used fillers, in this case, are HA fillers but your doctor may choose different ones all depending on your skin problems and areas you wish to enhance.

What’s amazing about this treatment is that it can be easily combined with Botox and achieve even better results. Botox can be used in the areas which have deeper expression lines like wrinkles between your eyebrows or around your eyes. Constant movements of these areas can lead to breaking down the fillers more quickly, so Botox is a better choice here because it relaxes the muscles that make these movements and these areas remain smoother and wrinkle-free for a longer period of time.

Another thing that is awesome about a liquid facelift is that you can get all fillers during one session or you can spread the injections and get them during the next session.

During this time you can see the results  gradually and slowly get used to fillers.

This also gives you some time to see if you like the results. Because if you do you will gladly commit to regular touch-up treatments and make the effects of fillers longer-lasting.

‍

16. LIFT YOUR BROWS AND YOUR EYES WILL POP WITH BRIGHTNESS

Your brows often are the first sign that your skin is maturing – they sag along with your forehead and make your eyelids look heavier and eyes smaller. But you can easily reverse this with fillers – they instantly improve the hollow areas on your forehead and provide support to your brows. They also plump your skin.

When injected, fillers lift your eyebrows and give you a more open and refreshed look. Brow lift with fillers is perfect alternative to surgical procedure – it is cheaper, easier and doesn’t require along downtime. Not to mention – it gives you instant results.

Another benefit of this procedure is that it can improve balance and facial asymmetry.

So, your doctor will apply a proper amount of fillers into the area of your eyebrows – your eyebrows will be lifted and more voluminous.

The end results should be natural-looking -arched and pronounced eyebrows and open, alert eyes. These are perhaps one of the most wanted facial features.

If injected properly, fillers can last for 6 to 9 months.

So make sure to choose a qualified doctor who uses fillers of the best quality.

17. MAINTAIN, SCULPT AND DEFINE WITH DERMAL FILLERS

Before and after photo of Dermal Fillers for contouring and defining facial features

If you think that fillers are just for maturing people, you’re wrong. A lot of millennials use fillers to augment and contour their facial features – and they still look natural.

If you don’t want to spend hours doing makeup to achieve the right contouring, you can try fillers to accentuate your look by adding a bit of volume. And you will discover the magic of Fillers –

Even though fillers add volume to some features, they also  make other features appear smaller.

 It’s all about enhancing the right feature.

Awesome right?

The top three filler treatments that you can try in your twenties are lip augmentation, adding volume to the cheeks and getting a better-defined jawline. And you don’t need a lot of fillers here -you might want to focus on superficial layers of your skin because you are not filling deep wrinkles and folds.

Defining facial features with fillers is very popular these days. It enhances your own natural beauty and keeps you looking fresh and refined.

Always keep in mind –

There is no one size that fits everybody.

 In order to get the best results with fillers, you need to pay attention to the product, skin type and thickness, skin texture, gender and most importantly your facial proportions. Actually, your dermatologist needs to evaluate your face carefully.

It’s a kind of art. Every patient has different facial attributes and dynamics. When a dermatologist analyses the biomechanics of your facial characteristic he/she can choose the right filler for you.

If you are in your twenties the best filler would be the softer one because you can get natural-looking contours and make all your facial expressions freely.

18. MEN, RETURN YOUR EDGE WITH FILLERS

If you think that fillers are just for the ladies, think again! Fillers for gents are up-and-coming. The bar has risen for men and they want to have fillers as prevention and to boost their features or to look younger and stay competitive at work. Dermal fillers are an instant solution for what men want to achieve.

So, what should you consider before getting fillers?

First, you are aging differently than women. And you have different facial anatomies.

So, you need to get dermal fillers with a special injection  technique that will preserve your masculinity.

 You don’t want to end up looking too feminine. So, your doctor needs to have a lot of experience in doing fillers for the gents.

Okay, yes the base is the same – both men and women want to enhance their features, smooth out wrinkles, and add volume or structure where necessary.

If you follow the trends in the aesthetics for men you will notice that a strong chin and defined jaw is something that is considered good-looking. So fillers can achieve this look in a very simple way. On the other hand, ladies want these facial areas to look softer if they are too prominent. So, you need to know exactly what you want to achieve with fillers so that your doctor can deliver the best results -one of them is to keep you looking like a man.

When you have chosen an experienced doctor, you can get fillers to smooth, lift and enhance your face, improve acne scars, treat hollowness underneath your eyes or improve the shape of your nose.

Just remember –

Don’t go  overboard – keep a few lines on your forehead.

They still give you that sophisticated and attractive look.

19. IS A GOOD INJECTABLE DETECTABLE? NO

The patient can immediately see the results of the Dermal Filler treatment

You might shy away from filers because you think that they will completely change your appearance and your face will look “done”. That is true, and we know it has happened before. The area where fillers can easily go wrong is the lips. Remember the names like “sausage lips”, “trout pout”, “duck lips”? Well, those names say it all. So the point is- less is more.

In reality, it doesn’t have to be like that -you can get fillers and look great but nobody needs to notice that right away. So, when you come to the doctor’s office just say – I want natural results. He/she will know what you are talking about provided that he/she has a great eye for aesthetics.

So it really matters who does your fillers.  It’s very simple – it’s your face, not your nails or hair. Getting an aesthetic treatment like fillers requires a professional who will give you natural-looking results, and not leave you looking funky.

So, what do you want to get from your filler treatment? Symmetrical and subtle results. You will look great and feel thrilled.

We must point out that there is a solution even if you are not satisfied with the results. If you got HA fillers, they can be removed with an enzyme hyaluronidase. The enzyme is simply injected into the treated area and it dissolves the hyaluronic acid within few hours.

Keep in mind that,

A skilled doctor almost never makes mistakes – but  keeps his/her clients happy.

20. EXTEND THE RESULTS OF FILLERS WITH A FEW SIMPLE TRICKS

Let’s clear this right away – you can’t make your fillers last forever, but you can make them last longer between touch-up treatments. There are some tricks you can try.

Don’t touch your face for 24 hours after you get fillers. This also applies to putting pressure on the treated area. Also, don’t rub your face when washing it and don’t exfoliate it. This way your filler won’t accidentally migrate to the wrong place.

Try not to sleep on the area where you got fillers for at least 2 days.

Hydrate well. Hydration will maintain your fillers. So drink a lot of water but also moisturize your skin with topical creams that have HA. This way your body will break down your fillers slower.

Pay attention to your skincare. If you do it properly your fillers will last longer. Again if you moisturize your skin and hydrate your body every day, you will enhance the absorption of water and prolong the effects of HA fillers. Your treated areas will stay plump and smooth.

Choose skincare products that boost collagen production and keep your skin protected from harmful free radicals. If your skin is healthy and has a strong structure, you can enjoy the effects of fillers for a longer period of time.

Extra tip:  Choose skincare products with Vitamin C – it is a powerful antioxidant that  protects your skin from pollution and sun damage.

Don’t stay too long in the sun. Even though spending time in the sun is enjoyable, doing it for too much can actually reverse the effects of fillers. So, to avoid this, always wear a high SPF, especially on the days after the treatment. Don’t go outside during hours of UV peaks or if you must wear a wide-brimmed hat.

Use an SPF cream with Vitamin C – it will protect you from the harmful effects of the sun. Spending too much time in the sun can lead to inflammation, and if this happens your skin will want to heal itself and your fillers will get broken down.

One more thing – exposing too much to the screens can shorten the effects of Fillers. Screens have blue light which is not UV light but it still harms your skin. Buy a blue-light filter or decrease the brightness on your screen – your skin will be thankful.

Don’t forget to eat properly. The food you eat affects your skin – its health and appearance. So to make the effects of your fillers stay longer, avoid processed food, too much sugar or salt. Eating too much of this food can cause inflammation in your body and this will directly affect the health of your skin.

Don’t stress too much. We know this is easier said than done, and that stress is present in our lives every day. But it can really harm your body and therefore your skin. When you are under a lot of stress your body releases too much cortisol and other hormones that speed up the aging process. The undesired signs of aging start to show on your skin. So to prolong the effects of fillers try to reduce the stress with some relief techniques like yoga and meditation. If will be beneficial in more than one way.

Choose a skilled doctor. This is perhaps the best way to prolong the effects of your fillers. An experienced injector will know how much filler to use and how to inject it precisely so that your results are long-lasting. Remember, it’s your face we are talking about.

21. GET A CUSTOMIZED PLAN FOR TOUCH-UP TREATMENTS

We have already established that fillers aren’t permanent and require maintenance. This is simply because your body cells constantly renew – one skin layer is removed and a new layer emerges. That’s why your body gradually absorbs fillers. But you can make a touch-up treatments calendar and navigate your budget around it.

This calendar will vary according to the type of filler.

If you got HA fillers, you might need touch-ups every 6 to 12 months. Hyaluronic acid fillers do tend to get absorbed faster than others.

If on the other hand, you have Calcium Hydroxylapatite fillers, they will last you for 12 to 18 months.

And finally, PLLA fillers last longer. You need touch-ups every two years.

But, you need to keep in mind that this is only in theory. Everybody is different – some people just age faster than others. You can also connect genetics to how long your fillers will last because it influences your processing of the proteins in your body.  There are also some contributing factors that affect how long your fillers will last.

One of those factors is the area where you got fillers. You move some areas more frequently than others like brows or areas around your mouth. So you will need more frequent touch-ups for these areas. If you got fillers deep in your cheekbones or tear troughs they will last longer because they are injected deeper and you don’t move them as much.

Another factor is the dosage of the filler -it’s logical that smaller dosages will be absorbed faster than larger ones.

But, once you decide to commit yourself to having fillers you can discuss with your doctor how often you should get touch-ups.

Remember-

A skilled doctor will know exactly  when to schedule your touch-up treatments and how to give you the best  results.

Anyway, touch-up sessions are fast and involve smaller amount of filler in your targeted area – just to keep it rejuvenated and smooth.

 That’s all. Now we turn to you – schedule your first consultation and discover the magic of dermal fillers.
