Thermage
Thermage Thermacool utilizes unique radiofrequency technology and a cooling system to deliver energy deep into the subcutaneous tissue. This stimulates collagen production, causing collagen fibers to contract and tighten, replenishing lost skin tissue. The result is wrinkle reduction, full-face lifting, and contour reshaping.
Suitable for all skin tones, ages, and genders, Thermage can be applied to most areas of the body to improve skin firmness and reduce wrinkles. This includes: - Sagging cheeks - Drooping eyelids - Low-set eyebrows - Periorbital fine lines - Perioral fine lines - Sagging cheekbones - Deep nasolabial folds - Sagging marionette linesmarionette lines, jawline laxity, neck sagging and wrinkles, fine skin lines, enlarged pores, as well as upper arm flab, postpartum abdominal laxity, buttock sagging, and thigh laxity. Radiofrequency skin tightening delivers superior results compared to many high-priced anti-wrinkle creams.

Skin Rejuvenation Laser
Utilizing the 1064nm wavelength of the Nd:YAG laser, it emits numerous precise micro-laser beams that penetrate deep into the dermis, effectively stimulating dermal tissue.The thermal energy stimulates collagen and elastin fiber proliferation, plumping and hydrating the dermal layer to achieve skin tightening, pore minimization, wrinkle reduction, enhanced epidermal turnover, and regulated skin immunity. Simultaneously, the thermal effect causes sebaceous gland atrophy, effectively controlling oil production and addressing the root causes of enlarged pores from within.Skin Rejuvenation Laser is a non-ablative laser treatment delivering noticeable results with minimal discomfort and no epidermal wounding. There is no downtime required post-treatment; redness typically subsides completely by the time you leave the clinic, and makeup can be applied immediately after the procedure.Treatment Outcomes
Minimizes pores, clears acne, evens skin tone
Brightens complexion, reduces fine lines, firms skin
Therapeutic Effects
Utilizing continuous laser light waves, it addresses enlarged pores and acne, imparting a soft-focus effect to the skin.Due to its gentle nature, many opt for biweekly sessions as a maintenance routine. Precautions 1. Avoid excessive sun exposure one month prior to treatment. 2. Discontinue retinoids, exfoliants, or chemical peels two weeks before treatment. 3.Individuals with allergic skin, severe skin conditions, or immune system disorders should consult a physician for evaluation prior to treatment. 4. Laser treatment is not recommended for pregnant women or those taking photosensitive medications. 5. Adequate pre-treatment hydration helps soothe thermal stimulation and reduces heat damage to the skin. 6. Pre-shaving the treatment area enhances comfort during the procedure. Post-Treatment Care 1.On the day of the skin-softening laser treatment, the treated area may experience mild redness, swelling, and a burning sensation. Apply ice packs to soothe the skin; symptoms typically subside by the next day.Skin Rejuvenation Laser does not cause hyperpigmentation. Individuals with specific skin types may experience a temporary brownish discoloration lasting 2-3 weeks. This temporary hyperpigmentation will fade within 1-2 months and return to normal skin tone in approximately 3-6 months. No special tightening is required. Applying whitening creams and vitamin C treatments can shorten the hyperpigmentation period.Increase intake of green vegetables, fresh fruits, and water. Avoid alcohol and photosensitive foods like celery, green peppers, eggplant, Thai basil, and cilantro. 4.Avoid activities that may cause infection or skin irritation, such as facials, face masks, exfoliation, application of irritating skincare products, or hot spring bathing. 5. Due to potential dryness from significant light exposure, intensify skin hydration. 6. Sun protection after spot removal is crucial, as the treated area is highly sensitive to sunlight. On sunny days, use a sun umbrella and wear a sun hat.Apply SPF 30-50 sunscreen and reapply every 2-3 hours outdoors.

Fractional Laser
Unlike traditional skin resurfacing that vaporizes entire skin layers, the Magic Skin Fractional Laser System employs fractional photothermal decomposition. It creates micro-heated zones through pinpoint beams, triggering skin regeneration and accelerating metabolism.Surrounding these zones is intact, healthy skin tissue, allowing these micro-injuries to heal within 24 hours while promoting the shedding of old epidermal cells. Simultaneously, deep tissue heating activates cellular activity, stimulating collagen production and restructuring in the dermis to improve skin texture. This achieves effects such as wrinkle reduction, scar fading, pore minimization, acne improvement, skin tightening, and overall refinement.
Treatment Applications
Reduce acne scars and pits, shrink pores, fade spots and moles
Brighten skin tone, diminish wrinkles, tighten and lift
Treatment Outcomes
Surrounded by intact skin, each micro-heating zone promotes rapid healing.Each session targets only 6-20% of the skin for deep heating treatment, requiring 5-6 sessions for cumulative, more significant improvement.
Precautions:
1. Inform your physician beforehand if you have a history of warts, shingles, unexplained allergic reactions, dry skin, eczema, autoimmune disorders, or are taking steroids/immunosuppressants, or if you have keloid-prone skin.Pregnant individuals, diabetics, those with photosensitive skin, or active infections/wounds must consult the physician for assessment prior to treatment. 3. Discontinue use of retinoic acid, exfoliants, chemical peels, diamond microdermabrasion, or dermabrasion facial treatments two weeks before treatment. 4. Avoid excessive sun exposure for two weeks prior to treatment. 5.Comedones and non-inflamed acne may erupt prematurely after treatment. Post-Treatment Care 1. This is a minimally invasive procedure that creates micro-injuries in the skin. On the day of treatment, you may experience redness, swelling, warmth, and pain. Applying ice packs can help alleviate discomfort.For the first two days post-treatment, the treated area will appear dry, flaky, and noticeably red and swollen. By the third day, swelling and redness will subside, leaving a faint pink hue. Small scabs will form subsequently. Do not pick at or remove scabs; they will naturally shed in approximately 5-7 days.The recovery period lasts approximately 2–5 days. 2. Cleanse gently, focusing on hydration and sun protection. Rinse the treated area with cool water; avoid vigorous rubbing or exfoliation.Avoid alcohol-based or acidic products. 3. Refrain from activities that may cause infection or skin irritation, such as facials, face masks, exfoliation, application of irritating skincare products (e.g., AHA, glycolic acid), hot springs, or saunas. 4. As skin may become drier due to intense light exposure, enhance moisturization. 5.Sun protection is crucial post-laser treatment as the treated area is highly sensitive to sunlight. On sunny days, use a sun umbrella and wear a sun hat. Apply SPF 30-50 sunscreen and reapply every 2-3 hours when outdoors.
6. We recommend using the high-quality growth factors provided by our clinic to enhance skin repair capabilities.
