Wrinkles
Fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet, frown lines, laugh lines, creases or furrows on normally smooth, healthy skin are natural components of the aging process. Wrinkles affect all skin types, age groups and genetic backgrounds.
As we age, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles becomes more prominent, with a decrease in collagen and elastin production, and slower cellular turnover causing the skin to become thin, fragile and more prone to damage.
Contributing factors include the natural aging process, habitual facial expressions, chronic exposure to ultraviolet light, sun damage, environmental factors, lifestyle choices, weight fluctuations, and smoking.
Treatment Options:
MICRODERMABRASION, CHEMICAL PEEL, KINELIFT, DERMALIFT, ELOS PLUS, GENTLEMAX PRO
Classification of Wrinkles
Early photo-aging, usually ages 20-30+
Early to moderate photo-aging, usually late 30s-40s +
Advanced photo-aging, usually ages 50+
Severe photo-aging, usually ages 60 -70 +
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.
Microdermabrasion can be combined with other treatments, including Purelight B, Purelight G, Kinelift, Dermalift, and transdermal delivery for optimum penetration of active ingredients.
Treatment Indication:
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, increases collagen production and epidermal density as a natural response to the healing process.
The Miracle 10 Peel Treatment
The Miracle 10 is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that provides dramatic results with minimum downtime. Chemical exfoliant is applied to the face, neck or décolleté – the areas most frequently exposed to ultraviolet rays.
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, 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 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, 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 the body’s natural bio-electrical currents, resulting in accelerated cellular renewal, fibroblast activation and dermal remodeling, without causing injury to the epidermis.
KINELIFT can be combined with microdermabrasion – for gentle skin resurfacing and transdermal delivery – for optimum penetration of active ingredients.
The Derma-Pod is an advanced multi-application aesthetic station from Silhouette-Tone, a leading manufacturer in non-invasive aesthetic procedures.
Derma-Pod treatment applications include microdermabrasion, micro-currents, optical energy and transdermal delivery – optimally combined in each pulse delivered to target tissue, ensuring a safe and effective treatment outcome.

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 the stimulation of 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.
