Look Younger Naturally with Cosmetic Medicine

But, while these treatments are safe and effective, some people still prefer a more natural approach and think that aesthetic medicine has nothing to offer them. In fact, though, there are many medical aesthetic treatments that work with the skin’s natural processes, are surgery-free and don’t add anything artificial.

Dr Najma Hussain of Medcare aesthetics in Benijofar is a big fan of these treatments. She told us:

“We offer a wide range of treatments that work by stimulating skin cells, getting the skin to behave more as it did at a younger age. The result is smoother, more toned and lifted skin.”

Here are Dr Hussain’s top treatment picks in this category.

Sculptra
A fantastic treatment that stimulates skin cells to produce more collagen. As we age the cells produce less and less collagen, leaving skin thin, sagging and lined. Sculptra is injected into the skin and its active ingredient gets the cells pumping out more collagen, the main building block of skin. The Sculptra liquid does not remain in the skin so the rejuvenation is completely natural.

PRP – Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy
This clever treatment harnesses the body’s healing properties by taking the best part of the blood – platelets – and injecting all the healing goodness back into the skin.
The platelets rebuild and repair aged skin cells and stimulate new collagen, leaving skin younger-looking, plumper and less lined. PRP was developed by sports doctors, who found it helped injuries heal faster, and is now used in mainstream as well as aesthetic medicine.

Dermapen microneedling
Microneedling takes advantage of the fact?that when the body senses damage it wants to repair itself.
Tiny injuries, in the form of hundreds of needle pricks, are created, causing the body’s repair mechanism to spring into action. Cells are activated and new collagen and elastin formed. Microneedling?softens lines and wrinkles and minimises pores. It smooths acne scars, and is perfect for treating pigmentation and uneven skin tone.

Exilis Elite Radiofrequency
Radiofrequency has become the new buzzword in non-surgical face lifting and it is easy to see why. With this treatment nothing unnatural is added, and not even so much as a tiny pin prick punctures the skin.
Radiofrequency energy is applied to the face, heating to exactly the right temperature and depth to have a tightening, and therefore lifting, effect on the skin. It is great for treating jowls, turkey necks, and generally smoothing and ‘lifting’ the face.

Medical-grade skin products
Medical-grade, or cosmaceutical, skin products utilise ingredients in strengths and formats not available in over-the-counter skincare ranges. These products can give excellent skin smoothing and rejuvenating results.
