Fat-dissolving injections

A double chin often referred to as submental fullness is one of people’s most common and undesirable condition. A double chin makes your face look heavier and older, affecting your self-esteem and confidence. It occurs when there is excess fat volume under the chin and neck area.  An ill-defined jawline can also create an appearance of a double chin.   Luckily here at Injector Maya Clinic we are specialists in aesthetic procedures and have a variety of treatments available to help with this common issue, make you feel proud and confident about your facial profile.   Double chin can appear in both men and women. Ageing is a big part of the cause, as we age we start losing elasticity and collagen in the skin making it more likely to sag. Some people are more likely to develop submental fullness which due to their genetics. Also, weight gain can have an effect and fat in this area is particularly difficult to remove despite exercise and dieting.   This treatment involves the injection into fat under the chin AQUALYX fat dissolving solution which is a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid. AQUALYX imitates naturally-occurring deoxycholic acid. This causes the permanent destruction of fat cells, and once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat.   Aqualyx® fat-dissolving treatment works by liquidating fat cells and destroying them permanently. The broken-down cells are then eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system.    Aqualyx® fat dissolving injections are a perfect treatment for those looking to treat areas on the body with stubborn, localised fat. Aqualyx® fat dissolving treatment is meant for body contouring, it is not a weight loss solution. Aqualyx® treatment can be performed only for small, localized areas, and patients should not be obese and immobile.  BEFORE & AFTER FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What are the benefits of Aqualyx® fat dissolving injections?

Stretch marks can be a sensitive and self-conscious skin concern for many people. They affect both men and women of all ages and races, but are more common in women who have experienced pregnancy. In fact, approximately 75 to 90% of pregnant women begin to develop stretch marks in their third trimester, though they also begin to occur in approximately 70% of adolescent women and 40% of adolescent men due to growth spurts as they are ageing naturally. While you should accept and embrace your so called “tiger stripes”, we understand why you might want to cover them up or get rid of them.   Lotions and lasers might help with the redness that can be caused when stretch marks first appear, however, the results might disappoint because they aren’t what you were expecting. You will need something that will deeply penetrate and resurface the skin at the dermis level to start the healing process.   The skin has a natural level of elasticity, allowing to stretch and return to its natural shape. As we age, the skin starts losing its elasticity and stretch marks will appear on any areas of the body where the skin has less elastin and collagen and stretched beyond its capacity. A good analogy of this is to refer to the skin as an elastic band, the more times you stretch it the thinner it becomes until it eventually snaps or tears.   Stretch marks will never completely disappear, because the skin in the affected areas has been stretched too thin, however, there are ways to reduce their appearance and visibility. Micro-needling with Dermapen 4 is one of the most effective ways and can significantly improve the appearance of the stretch marks. Microneedle therapy can improve the colour and texture of stretch marks by blending them with the surrounding skin.   The natural healing process of the skin happens in three phases: Inflammation – Once the skin is pierced, it triggers the response from the immune system to naturally disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase the blood flow, and create new tissue. Proliferation – The wound starts to rebuild itself with the new cells and the temporary collagen and elastin, as well as a new network of blood vessels. Remodeling – The collagen produced in Phase 2 is replaced by even stronger collagen, allowing the skin to contract and create a tightening effect on the skin. Since stretch marks cause a disruption in the natural production of collagen, micro-needling will help not only restart that production, but the overproduction of elastin and collagen will help in healing the damaged connective tissue in the dermis that creates the stretch marks. BEFORE & AFTER FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What are the benefits of stretch marks reduction? By actively fighting their appearance and helping to reduce their visibility, you can effectively remove the stretch marks by masking them to a point where they aren’t noticeable. A high quality micro-needling Dermapen can also reduce the width and depth of stretch marks while encouraging the growth of small amounts of normal skin. Micro-needling can treat all stretch marks effectively resulting in younger and smoother skin. How does a non-surgical stretch mark reduction treatment work? The micro-needling procedure is the perfect method when it comes to fighting the appearance of stretch marks. The aim of micro-needling is to create a number of small channels in the skin which trigger the healing responses of the body and helps to release collagen. It’s the collagen that gives this treatment its alternate name of collagen induction therapy.   A micro-needling Dermapen will be used to create microscopic injuries within the stretch marks and the natural response of the body is to produce new collagen at the wound sites. This reaction by the body helps to heal the tears within the dermal layer that are responsible for causing stretch marks. As the outermost layer of skin is not affected by the micro-needling process, the newly generated collagen is only used to help with healing and repairing the stretch marks. How many treatments are required? The treatment course is tailored individually and dependent on the depth of the stretch marks.  Usually, in order to effectively treat stretch marks a series of 3-6 micro-needling sessions is required, separated in 4-6 weeks intervals. It is a chemical free procedure and is suitable for all skin types.

There are many products which can be used to aid hair loss and promote hair health and growth. Injector Maya’s pick are special skin boosters such as Pluryal Hair Densifier, Dr. Cyj and PRP therapy. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy for hair loss is a three-step medical treatment in which a person’s blood is drawn, processed, and then injected into the scalp. PRP injections trigger natural hair growth and maintain it by increasing blood supply to the hair follicle and increasing the thickness of the hair shaft The use of PRP is a great treatment option for hair loss because it has a number of scientifically based articles showing its efficacy increasing hair count, hair thickness, and the growth phase of the hair cycle. Growth factors are proteins that exist in our bodies and have the ability to stimulate the production of various types of cells involved in healing processes. They can enhance the repair of damaged tissues by reactivating primitive pluripotent cells. With hair loss treatment, growth factors are multiplied, activating more cells. It restores the function of hair follicles in the area where the injection is done, resulting in the growth of new hair from re-stimulated, formerly inactive follicles. Therefore, PRP hair loss treatment enhances the development of hair follicles and thus leads to hair growth. Moreover, it prevents hair loss and strengthens the existing hair.
