SKIN MATTERS

Technology

INTRODUCTION

At Skin Matters, we aim to provide our patients with the most comfortable and effective treatment experience possible, and our commitment to using state-of-the-art equipment and technology helps us to meet this goal. We are especially excited to introduce Ultherapy, a new non-invasive treatment that revitalizes aging skin through the use of ultrasound technology. We also employ a variety of other advanced systems in our clinic, designed to fulfill a diverse range of patient needs.

Ultherapy by Ulthera Inc.

ulthera

The next generation of skin rejuvenation: not an injection, not a light, not a radiofrequency, and not a laser.

Advanced ultrasound technology is used to make the layers of the patient's skin visible. By accurately targeting the fibromuscular layer, ultra precise treatment points can be selected. An applicator is then used to direct low levels of focused heat to the right depth below the skin, resulting in excellent skin tightening and unprecedented collagen induction.

A single treatment is effective, with gradual improvement visible over the subsequent 2-3 months.

Skin Matters is the first clinic to introduce this visionary. non-invasive procedure to the Vancouver lower Mainland. We have developed unique approaches to meet each patient's needs.

Thermage CPT by Solta Medical

thermagecpt

Thermage has the longest history in non-invasive radiofrequency treatments of nearly a decade. Although effective, older devices of Thermage has a reputation of delivering a sensation like "snapping elastic bands against the skin". With the new Thermage Comfort Pulse Technology (CPT) the device is aimed to provide greater comfort to the patients while also improving on the treatment tips to provide better and more uniformed heat distribution. Thermage CPT utilizes focused radiofrequency energy to heat collagen in the deeper layers of the skin and underlying tissue while protecting the outer layers of the skin with its cooling technology. This activates the body’s own natural renewal process, allowing the collagen structures to immediately tighten the skin. Over time, new collagen is produced by the body resulting in a healthier, smoother and more youthful appearance.

Lipsonix by Solta Medical

liposonix

Liposonix is a non-surgical and non-invasive custom body contouring system that is highly versatile to allow greater control over where the energy is delivered. Liposonix offers a safe way to obtain long-lasting results. The system utilizes high-intensity focused ultrasound technology to permanently disrupt targeted fat tissues. It is able to deliver uniform and predictable results without damaging the surrounding tissue or skin. The destroyed fat tissue is removed through the body’s natural healing and waste elimination process, leaving you the thinner and more defined waistline you desire. Each treatment is typically 60 minutes in length and the full benefits of the treatment can be witnessed in 8 to 12 weeks.

What to expect from the procedure?

During your procedure, the head of the Liposonix technology will be moved around the treatment area to deliver the ultrasound technology for 30 to 60 minutes. You may feel slight discomforts during the treatment like coldness, tingling, or warmth. There may also be mild bruising, redness, or swelling immediately following the treatment. You should allow your body 8 to 12 weeks to naturally eliminate the destroyed fat tissues. On average, a single 60-minute long treatment results in a waistline reduction of about 1 inch (2.5 cm), that’s one dress size!

Is Liposonix right for me?

Liposonix is not a substitute for healthy lifestyle and regular exercise. It is not designed to be an easy, alternative method to lose weight. Liposonix offers a quick, safe, and effective way to aid patients in achieving their personal shape goals. It is ideal for patients that are close to their targeted weight and shape, Liposonix offers a little extra help in "getting that last inch".
