Will the ClearLift procedure suit me?

Laser rejuvenation is an ideal procedure if you have:

• Significant signs of skin aging
• Small and medium age wrinkles
• Mimic wrinkles
• Hyperpigmentation
• Uneven skin tone
• Signs of photoaging
• Flabbiness, sagging of soft tissues

ClearLift™ mechanism of action

ClearLift™ affects the main cause of aging – reduced production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid by fibroblasts.

1. The laser beam does NOT injure the cells, it only gives them a signal of thermal danger. The epidermis is NOT affected, which retains its protective properties.
2. In response, fibroblasts begin to actively produce collagen and elastin, required for structural remodeling of skin.
3. The collagen matrix of skin is restored, the effect of rejuvenation and lifting is reached.

The procedure takes no more than 1 hour. Anesthesia and rehabilitation are not required. After the first session you will see pronounced changes.

To achieve a lasting result that will please you for up to 2 years, we recommend a full course of laser facial rejuvenation.

Laser treatment of stretch marks and scars is the most effective way to get rid of unsightly marks on the skin of any part of the body.

Resurfacing of stretch marks and scars is:

• High-efficiency laser Harmony XL PRO (Alma Lasers, Israel). The result of the iPixelEr: YAG 2940nm module can be seen after the first procedure.
• Quality. The Harmony XL PRO laser is FDA certified, which confirms the effectiveness of its use in the treatment of stretch marks and scars.
• Short rehabilitation period. Redness and swelling in the laser affected area lasts only 2-4 days.
• Speed and comfort. The procedure is fast, and no special preparations are required before it.

The high efficiency of laser removal of scars and stretch marks is due to the principle of its operation: the beam affects the skin surface and starts the natural process of tissue repair and collagen formation. Collagen also replaces connective tissue and as a result, instead of scars and stretch marks, you get healthy smooth skin.

As with any procedure with the use of laser, resurfacing of stretch marks and scars has contraindications:

• Systemic diseases of immune system, taking immunostimulants
• Infectious diseases, skin diseases
• Herpes in the acute form
• Predisposition to the formation of keloid scars
• Severe forms of coronary heart disease and hypertension
• Epilepsy and other mental illnesses
• Varicose veins at the site of laser exposure
• Malignant neoplasms of the skin
• Diabetes mellitus in decompensated stages
• Allergy to light and sun
• Pregnancy and lactation

Relative contraindications:

Sunbathing, visiting solarium or having medium and surface peelings 3 weeks before the first procedure.

The first signs of nail fungus can be noticed if the plates of your nails lose their healthy shine, spots appear on them or there is a change in color (yellow, gray, brown or green), nail plates get thinner or on the contrary they get thicker, and under the nail plates there form keratinized tissues. Itching, inflammation and redness should also be a signal for you that it is time to see a doctor immediately. And after diagnosis and confirmation of a nail fungus – proceed with treatment. The sooner you start it, the better the result will be. Especially if we turn to modern laser technologies, which have already proven their clinical effectiveness in the treatment of onychomycosis.

In Aesthetic Medicine Clinic Myroslava Novosilska, we use Harmony XL Pro platform with the most cutting-edge lasers in the world and the only one in Ukraine for treatment of nail fungus. The most effective for such procedures is the use of ClearLift (4D). This is a high-power Q-Switch ND: YAG laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm, which provides a unique intensive fractional non-ablative skin treatment without pain and subsequent rehabilitation. And in combination with the long-pulse neodymium ND: YAG laser LP 1064 nm featuring contact cooling, it provides excellent clinical results in treatment of onychomycosis.

The feature of the second laser is a longer pulse duration, which provides more powerful heating and deeper penetration into the damaged areas that require treatment. The technology of simultaneous contact cooling, inbuilt in a pointer, cools down skin during the treatment procedure, thus minimizing risks of side effects and providing more comfortable treatment. Laser treatment of onychomycosis proved its efficiency: the statistic data show that complete recovery is achieved in 86,2% cases. The first results can be seen in 1 month after the treatment beginning.

Fractional ablative laser resurfacing iPixel with Harmony XL device

This procedure is performed with the latest fractional laser Er: YAG Harmony XL with a wavelength of 2940 nm manufactured by Alma Lasers (Israel), which ensures maximum safety of use on any part of face and body, including thin and sensitive skin.

It is based on the phenomenon of fractional ablative photothermolysis.

The laser beams evaporate microzones on the treated skin surface along with wrinkles, pigment spots, scars and bumps, renewing and smoothing skin. It starts the mechanism of synthesis of new collagen, elastin and own hyaluronic acid, providing a tightening and powerful lifting of skin. Due to the fact that microdamages alternate with intact skin with an equal distance between them, it enables a short period of rehabilitation. Thus, the fractional effect is particularly delicate, allowing treating even very sensitive and thin skin with minimal risk, while obtaining the maximum effect of laser resurfacing procedure.
If with conventional CO2 laser resurfacing the rehabilitation period takes up to 3 weeks, with the Harmony XL the rehabilitation is reduced to 1 week due to the soft but effective laser effect.

What results are achieved after laser resurfacing:

• Lifting effect
• Narrowing of pores
• Smoothing of small wrinkles and post acne scars
• Improving complexion
• Removal of pigmentation
• Restoration of skin elasticity
• Even skin tone and relief.

Contraindication:

• Pregnancy and lactation
• Oncological diseases
• Viral infections
• Psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis in acute stage
• Multiple skin neoplasms in the area of expected exposure.

The number of procedures depends on age, skin type, particular problems and ranges from 1 to 4-5 procedures.

Laser tattoo removal is an effective and safe method of solving the problem. The result is noticeable after the first procedure: the tattoo image becomes paler, and the process of removing pigment from the skin continues for several days after each session. It is a no-scar method, so at the end of the full course there are absolutely no signs of the former tattoo.

How does the procedure look?First, the specialist carries out a visual examination of the tattoo, collects medical history (to identify contraindications), suggests that the patient wear special glasses and sit in a comfortable chair. Anesthesia is usually not required. The influence mode is selected strictly individually depending on the tattoo features.

At each session, only the top layer of pigment is destroyed. Under the influence of high temperatures, the dye literally foams and this area of ​​the tattoo is noticeably lightened. This effect lasts a few minutes, then the skin remains a little red and a dry crust is formed, which disappears within 1-2 weeks. You can repeat the procedure in 4-6 weeks.
