Aesthetic Facial Treatments

The timeline for seeing results after PRP hair restoration can vary from person to person. Generally, noticeable improvements can be seen within 3 to 6 months of starting the treatment. However, it's important to note that hair growth is gradual, and individual responses may vary. Some individuals may see results sooner, while others may require additional sessions for optimal outcomes. Consistency with treatment sessions and following the recommended treatment plan can help maximize the chances of achieving satisfactory results.

PRP hair restoration can help stimulate hair growth and improve the thickness and quality of existing hair. However, it's important to understand that PRP cannot completely alter the natural hair growth cycle or stop hair loss caused by underlying factors such as genetics or hormonal imbalances. The results of PRP treatment can be long-lasting, but maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain the desired outcomes. Periodic follow-up treatments are often advised to support ongoing hair health and prevent further hair loss. Combining PRP with other hair restoration treatments like Hydrafacial Keravive and using quality hair care like Nutrafol or lifestyle changes can improve long-term results.

A PDO (Polydioxanone) Thread Lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that helps lift and tighten sagging skin. It involves inserting absorbable threads made of PDO material into the skin through tiny incisions. These threads have small barbs or cones that anchor the skin, providing a lifting effect. Over time, the threads stimulate collagen production, which further improves skin elasticity and firmness. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and can target areas such as the face, neck, jawline, and even the body. The results of a PDO Thread Lift can provide a rejuvenated appearance with a more defined facial contour.

The longevity of PDO Thread Lift results can vary depending on several factors, including individual characteristics, the type of threads used, and the treatment area. On average, the effects of a PDO Thread Lift can last anywhere from 12 to 18 months. Over time, the inserted threads are naturally absorbed by the body, but the collagen stimulation they initiate can have longer-lasting benefits. It's important to note that while the lifting effect may diminish as the threads dissolve, the improved skin texture and firmness can persist due to increased collagen production. Some individuals may opt for maintenance treatments or touch-ups to extend the results beyond the initial period.

Celluma Light Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level light energy to stimulate cellular activity in the skin. It utilizes light-emitting diodes (LEDs) of specific wavelengths to target various skin concerns. Celluma Light Therapy can effectively address a range of conditions, including acne, wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, inflammation, and compromised skin texture.  The specific wavelength and duration of the treatment will vary depending on the targeted concern and your ZO Skin Centre professional's recommendations.

Celluma Light Therapy is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified healthcare professional. The treatment is non-invasive, painless, and does not require downtime. The LEDs used in Celluma devices emit light at specific wavelengths that are known to have therapeutic benefits without causing harm to the skin. However, it's important to follow the guidelines provided by your ZO Skin Health professional and disclose any underlying medical conditions or medications you may be taking. In rare cases, some individuals may experience temporary side effects such as mild redness, dryness, or sensitivity in the treated area. These effects typically resolve shortly after the treatment. It's advisable to schedule a consultation to determine if Celluma Light Therapy suits your specific needs and address any concerns or potential risks.

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves gently scraping the skin's surface using a sterile surgical scalpel or blade. The procedure is performed by a skincare professional and is aimed at removing dead skin cells, fine facial hair (peach fuzz), and debris from the skin's surface. During the treatment, the blade is held at a 45-degree angle and lightly moved across the skin, exfoliating and revealing a smoother, brighter complexion. Dermaplaning can help improve the appearance of skin texture, reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance the absorption of skincare products. It is typically safe for most skin types and does not require downtime.

One common myth about dermaplaning is that it will cause the hair on your face to grow back thicker or darker. However, this is not the case. Dermaplaning only targets the vellus hair (peach fuzz), which is thin, fine, and usually light-colored. It does not affect terminal hair's (coarse hair) growth rate, texture, or color. After dermaplaning, the vellus hair will grow back at the same rate and with the same characteristics as before. The regrowth will be the same fine texture and color as it was previously.

Dermaplaning is typically performed by trained skincare professionals in a clinical or spa setting. While DIY dermaplaning tools are available for home use, it is generally recommended to have dermaplaning performed by a professional. Here's why:

1. Safety: Dermaplaning involves using a sharp surgical scalpel or blade to scrape the skin's surface. Performing it at home without proper training and expertise can increase the risk of skin injury, cuts, or nicks. ZO Skin Centre professionals have the knowledge and experience to perform the procedure safely, minimizing the risk of complications.
2. Sterility: In a professional setting, the instruments used for dermaplaning are properly sterilized to maintain a hygienic environment and reduce the risk of infections. Maintaining the same level of sterility at home can be challenging.
3. Technique: ZO Skin Centre professionals are trained to assess individual skin conditions, choose appropriate tools and pressure, and perform the procedure effectively. They understand the angles and techniques required to achieve optimal results without causing harm or irritation to the skin.
4. Tailored Treatment: Your ZO Skin Centre professionals can customize the dermaplaning treatment to suit your specific needs and skin concerns. They can combine it with other treatments or address any underlying skin conditions you may have. DIY dermaplaning at home may not provide the same level of customization or targeted results.
