As we advance in age, due to repeated facial expressions over a lifetime, the action of environmental factors such as sunlight and UV radiation, poor sleep and dietary habits, etc cause the skin and tissues of our face lose their elasticity and thin out.The cheeks descend, causing a depression between the eyes and cheeks and softening of the jawline to form jowls. The action of gravity over the years further contributes to this drooping of the face. Fine lines and wrinkles gradually progress from dynamic ones, (seen during expression), to static ones (seen even at rest), making you look older, tired or angry. In advanced cases, you may develop hanging folds of skin (jowls) along the sides of your face and over your neck.

Basic simple everyday hacks such as using a facial scrub, sunblock, adequate hydration and diet can slow the ageing of your skin.

Our goal at NuHealth is to assist you in discovering a new and improved version of yourself through comprehensive and holistic supportive treatments.

Our Ageing therapy will work with you to come up with treatment programme that caters to your specific needs.

Botox :

Repeated facial movements such as frowning, squinting, laughing etc. form wrinkles. Botox works by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles giving the face a rejuvenated appearance. The procedure is so simple and quick that patients walk into the clinic, have it done, and go back to work immediately after.

When injected by an experienced doctor, the procedure takes just a few minutes.The wrinkle-smoothing result can be seen within days, and can last for 3 - 6 months. It is a simple, noninvasive treatment that gives more relaxed, refreshed, and younger-looking faces.

Specific areas can be targeted for Botox treatment, such as ‘Crow’s Feet’ around the eyes, drooping eyebrows, forehead lines, frown lines or the deep creases around the mouth.

Newer MICROBOTOX techniques do not cause the frozen look of the face, and are used for neck skin rejuvenation as well. Botox is also used for excessive sweating of the hands, feet and armpits.

Fillers:

Injectable fillers are used to restore volume to an ageing face using the body's own natural material called collagen or hyaluronic acid. After injection, these gels bind water in your skin, to lift and give new firmness, with results generally lasting for many months. Once fully absorbed the gel disappears unnoticed from the body.

Fillers are used to augment the cheeks, the nose, the chin, the lips and the jawline. They can be used to reduce deep creases on the face as well, as well as hollowing of the temple areas.

Fillers last for about a year and need a follow-up treatment annually. After lip treatments, however, a follow-up is normally needed after about nine months.

Growth Factors (PRP/GFC):

One of the newer therapies, it utilizes your body’s own healing mechanisms to repair, restore and rejuvenate skin and hair. Growth factors are naturally occurring substances that stimulate the growth and proliferation of specialized cells such as fibroblasts, myocytes, chondrocytes, mesenchymal cells etc.

These Growth factors are isolated from your own blood, purified and concentrated in the Lab, and re-injected for various conditions. They are used to rejuvenate the skin of the face and neck, to treat hairfall, and to reduce scarring, both from wounds as well as acne, and are reported to be of use in vitiligo, under-eye dark circles and pigmentation as well. They have been used extensively to treat sports injuries and osteoarthritis of the joints.

Growth factors are available in the form of PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) or a purified form known as GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate), and are used as an out-patient treatment. The procedure takes about 1 hour, and is done as an OPD procedure.

Threadlifts:

A threadlift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses specially designed surgical sutures to either suspend sagging facial tissues or rejuvenate the skin. The procedure is short, and it can be repeated if necessary.

The individual areas that can be treated are the forehead, the eyebrows, the cheeks, the jowls, and the midface. Threadlift can also be done for sagging neck folds. Suspension threads have cogs or barbs to lift and hold the tissues, while rejuvenation threads are smooth and stimulate Collagen formation under the skin

Facial Rejuvenation:

Rejuvenation of the skin, especially over the face and neck has become very sought after, especially using non to minimally invasive treatments. Established methods like Lasers, Microdermarollers, Peels etc are very popular, though current trends are towards using minor injectable procedures like Botox, Fillers and Growth Factors (HPL) to restore volume to the face as well as rejuvenate the skin.
