Skin Laxity
Skin laxity affects men and women, regardless of age, skin type or genetic background.
Long-term exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet radiation accounts for about 80% of all skin aging. Sun related photo-aging can be avoided with daily use of sunscreen with minimum of SPF 30.
The force of gravity, the natural aging process and chronic exposure to the sun’s UV rays slows down collagen and elastin production, resulting in loss of elasticity and definition, and the prominent appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Other signs of aging include under-eye puffiness, dark circles, droopy eyebrows, hollowing of the cheeks or loss of definition in the jawline. Other parts of the body are also affected, including neck, chest, arms, abdomen, thighs and buttocks.
Contributing factors include the natural aging process, genetics, gravity, a decline in elastin and collagen levels, the environment, and lifestyle choices like stress, smoking, alcohol, weight fluctuation, diet and exercise.
For significant improvement, a combination of a heathy, balanced diet, weight management, regular physical activity and VelaShape III treatments are recommended.
Treatment Options:
MICRODERMABRASION, CHEMICAL PEEL, KINELIFT, DERMALIFT, VELASHAPE III, ELOS PLUS, GENTLEMAX PRO
Treatment Options
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a gentle, non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment. Fine mineral crystals are projected against the skin’s surface with Silhouette-Tone’s patented Turbo Flow System, for gentle resurfacing of the epidermal layer with immediate improvement in overall skin appearance.
Microdermabrasion improves the absorption rate of the optical energy and micro-current conductivity by removing up to 30% of the epidermis.
Optical energy and micro-currents stimulate circulation, lymphatic drainage and oxygenation, to prepare the target tissues – epidermis, dermis and muscle layer – for transfer of energy.
The repair process is initiated by stimulation of the body’s natural bio–electrical currents, resulting in accelerated cellular renewal, fibroblast activation and dermal remodeling, without causing injury to the epidermis. The transdermal delivery system increases penetration of active ingredients deeper into dermal layers.
Microdermabrasion can be combined with other treatments including: Purelight B, Purelight G, Kinelift, Dermalift, and transdermal delivery for optimum penetration of active ingredients.
Treatment Indications:
Fine lines and wrinkles, stretchmarks, skin rejuvenation, skin resurfacing, acne and mild to moderate acne scarring.
Treatment Protocol:
Requires a minimum of 5-6 consecutive treatment sessions, between 7-10 days apart. Monthly maintenance treatments are recommended.
Chemical Peels
The Miracle 10 is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment. Lactic and glycolic acids (AHA) of differing strengths are combined with an enzyme exfoliant for effective treatment of acne, dehydration, discolouration, dullness and signs of aging. Chemical exfoliation initiates cellular renewal, and increases collagen production and epidermal density as a natural response to the healing process.
The Miracle 10 Peel Treatment
Lactic and glycolic acids (AHA) of differing strengths are combined with an enzyme exfoliant for effective treatment of acne, dehydration, discolouration, dullness and signs of aging.
Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) are light to medium strength chemical exfoliants with a blend of powerful ingredients.
They are applied directly to the skin’s surface to reduce the accumulation of damaged skin cells in the outer layer of the epidermis.
Chemical exfoliation initiates cellular renewal, and increases collagen production and epidermal density as a natural response to the healing process.
Skin type, the severity of the condition, and the desired outcome are considered when selecting the appropriate treatment. Miracle 10 treatments provide immediate improvement in the skin’s appearance.
For additional benefits Miracle 10 can be combined with other treatments.
Treatment Indications:
Acne, dehydration, discolouration, dullness and signs of aging
Treatment Protocol:
Requires a minimum of 5-6 consecutive treatments sessions, between 7-10 days apart.
Monthly maintenance treatments are recommended.
Kinelift
KINELIFT is a gentle, non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment.
Optical energy and micro-currents stimulate circulation, lymphatic drainage, and oxygenation to prepare the target tissues – epidermis, dermis and muscle layer – for transfer of energy.
The repair process is initiated by stimulation of body’s natural bio-electrical currents, resulting in accelerated cellular renewal, fibroblast activation and dermal remodeling, without causing injury to the epidermis.

Treatment Indications:
Expression lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet, nasolabial folds, vertical lip lines, deep vertical and horizontal lines on the neck and décolleté, loss of definition, skin laxity and volume.
Treatment Protocol:
Requires a minimum of 8 – 12 consecutive treatment sessions, 1-2 times per week. 1-2 monthly maintenance treatments are recommended.
Maximum results are generally noticeable 2-4 months post- treatment.
Dermalift
DERMALIFT is a gentle, non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment.
Optical energy and micro-currents stimulate circulation, lymphatic drainage, and oxygenation to prepare the target tissues – epidermis, dermis and muscle layer – for transfer of energy.
The repair process is initiated by stimulation of the body’s natural bio-electrical currents in larger muscle groups, including the neckline and décolleté, resulting in accelerated cellular renewal, fibroblast activation and dermal remodeling, without causing injury to the epidermis. Micro-currents are combined with transdermal delivery application for optimum penetration of active ingredients.
