As time progresses, our skin naturally shows changes. At Lumiere Clinic Sydney, we recognise that many seek ways to care for their skin as part of a healthy lifestyle.
This guide provides information on a range of skin rejuvenation treatments that can potentially help with treatment for ageing skin – including non-surgical treatments available at our clinic, designed to support the skin’s health and appearance.
Why Consider Skin Rejuvenation Treatments?
Skin rejuvenation treatments are designed to support the skin in maintaining its appearance and condition. These treatments at Lumiere Clinic Sydney can potentially address various skin concerns such as acne scars, uneven pigmentation or changes in texture and tone.
Each treatment option is aimed at supporting the skin’s appearance and can be part of an overall skin care strategy. As with any treatment, results can vary and depend on an individual’s skin condition and treatment parameters.
A Selection of Skin Rejuvenation Treatments
In this guide, we categorise skin rejuvenation treatments based on their underlying technology and primary benefits, making it easier to understand which option might be best suited to your specific skin concerns.
Light-Based and Laser Treatments
Laser Skin Rejuvenation (Intense Pulsed Light)
How it works: Laser Skin Rejuvenation is a laser treatment that utilises Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology to direct light energy beneath the surface of the skin. This process is designed to target specific skin concerns without damaging the outer layer of the skin.
By delivering precise light wavelengths, the treatment may help stimulate the natural processes of collagen production, which plays a vital role in the skin’s structure and resilience.
Potential Applications: This treatment is used in various facial rejuvenation treatments, including addressing uneven skin tone and improving skin texture.
Depending on the person’s skin condition, it can potentially help manage visible signs of ageing such as fine wrinkles as well as acne scars, loose skin and sun damage.
The process helps in renewing skin cells, leading to a more even and refined skin texture.
Benefits: This may be a non-surgical option for those seeking to potentially enhance their skin’s appearance. The gentle stimulation of skin cells and collagen can result in a smoother and fresher appearance of the skin.
PicoWay Laser Pigmentation Removal
How it works: Using ultra-short picosecond laser pulses, this treatment targets unwanted pigmentation in the skin. It breaks down the pigment into smaller pieces which the body can then naturally eliminate.
Potential Applications: A versatile tool in non-surgical facial rejuvenation, it may address pigmentation issues such as age spots, freckles and sun spots. It may also help to reduce the visibility of acne scarring.
Benefits: It may help to improve skin tone and promote a more even complexion, aligning with the natural ageing process.
Other skin rejuvenation treatments include radiofrequency and ultrasound treatments.
Radiofrequency and Ultrasound Treatments
How it works: Thermage utilises radiofrequency energy to penetrate the skin’s surface and heat the underlying collagen-rich layers. This heating action encourages the contraction of existing collagen fibres and promotes new collagen production.
Potential Applications: A non-surgical treatment, Thermage is aimed at skin tightening and contouring. It may be effective for ageing skin, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and frown lines.
Benefits: It may help with improving skin elasticity and firmness, leading to a smoother appearance and is an option for those seeking a non-invasive rejuvenation method.
How it works: A non-invasive procedure that uses ultrasound energy to target the foundational layers of the skin.
Potential Applications: Designed for non-surgical facial rejuvenation, particularly targeting sagging skin on the face, neck and chest.
Benefits: It may help with providing noticeable lifting and tightening of the skin without the need for downtime. It can potentially also help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines.
Other Treatments
How it works: Involves injecting stabilised hyaluronic acid into the dermal layer of the skin. The treatment aims to enhance the internal structure and hydration of the facial skin, supporting its overall health and resilience.
Potential Applications: These treatments may help to address common skin concerns that affect the facial area including improving skin tone and texture.
They may also be effective as a part of a broader facial rejuvenation treatment strategy, helping to manage signs of ageing such as forehead lines which may be exacerbated by sun exposure.
Benefits: The primary benefit is the potential improvement in skin hydration and elasticity. Additionally, the treatment may also promote a more balanced and refreshed skin tone, assisting in the renewal of dead skin cells and enhancing the skin’s natural luminosity.
How it works: Involves the placement of temporary, biodegradable sutures under the skin to mechanically lift the skin and stimulate biological responses such as collagen production.
Potential Applications: This treatment is often used as a non-surgical alternative to facelifts, targeting loose or sagging skin and enhancing overall texture and elasticity.
Benefits: Can potentially include a subtle yet visible lift that improves the overall contour of the face and neck.
