Incurable diseases do not always mean unmanageable.

To apply a compounded solution through changed lifestyle choices will more than likely reveal better results in conjunction with a daily skin routine that is targeting your signs and concerns.

The emotional toll and psychological distress caused from a visual and indiscreet disease is significant.

It is best if you have any signs of these symptoms to seek solutions to help manage them to the best possibility.

Finally, a non-surgical solution to those classic signs of ageing

For those who may not be ready for the invasiveness or lengthy downtime that comes with a traditional, surgical face and neck lift, there is now an in-clinic solution which can leave you looking more youthful in as little as one treatment.

Our Thermage treatments at Refine Cosmetic Clinic removes the complexities from surgical skin tightening and lifting procedures, providing patients with natural-looking results and minimal downtime.

Using reliable Radio Frequency technology to heat the skin, Thermage treatments work to remodel your existing collagen makeup deep in your skin’s layers. This technology causes your collagen to tense, lift and tighten. In just one treatment, this contraction improves the appearance and quality of your skin, repairing typical damage associated with ageing and correcting the appearance of sagging skin.

Our patients have described their Thermage treatments as a warm, slightly tingling sensation – completely comfortable and almost relaxing. For those patients who are just beginning their anti-ageing journey and may be a bit nervous about pain, Thermage treatments are a great starting point requiring no anaesthetic and little downtime.

After just one treatment, you will see a distinctive change in the elasticity and tone of your skin due to the contraction of collagen beneath the surface. With a course of treatments, you will not look dramatically and obviously different, but instead naturally rejuvenated and more youthful. Some results may be seen immediately after your treatment, improving over the following 9 months, and lasting for up to 2 years.

Interested in trying Thermage? For a limited time only, treat your full face and neck with Thermage, and receive three follow-up LED Light Therapy Treatments (valued at $300) for just $2,800.

Skin Needling- How It Works

What exactly is micro-needling and why would one do it? With so many different cosmetic procedures coming up all the time, it can be hard to know what is worth trying and what isn’t.
Micro-needling, also known as skin needling, has been growing in popularity over the last few years. While it is mostly a procedure that is performed on the face, micro-needling can actually be performed on other areas of the body such as hands, neck and décolletage.

There are many benefits that come from undergoing micro-needling, from treatment of acne scars and signs of ageing to pigmentation and sun damage.  Due to the penetration of the needle into the skin, a carefully control injury is caused below the skins surface. This induces collagen to grow and results in a thicker, plumper looking skin, with reduced fine lines and better skin tone.

With micro-needling the top layer of the skin is not removed, like with other procedures such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion, yet a deeper penetration is still achieved. Scars that are fairly indented into the skin can benefit greatly from micro-needling due to the collagen production pushing up and plumping the skin, which reduces the scars depth. Micro-needling can also be a fabulous alternative for those with a darker skin tone, as there is less risk of pigmentation.

The treatment normally lasts up to an hour and a half, including the time allowed for numbing cream to set in. While every individual’s skin reacts differently to treatments, it is recommended to allow up to 5 days for total turn around after the treatment.   Approximately 4 treatments are recommended for optimal results.
