PRP FACIALS.
the world famous PRP facial, a revolutionary innovation combining two treatment concepts for skin rejuvenation in one. The treatment has become famous after becoming a popular facial treatment among celebrities. It is a combination of the effective Platelet Rich Plasma ( PRP) and Microneedling treatments in one.
Which areas can be treated
PRP therapy can be used on the face, particularly around the eyes, mouth and nose, the backs of the hands, scars and all over the body.
VAMPIRE FACELIFT.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, also known as the ‘Vampire Facelift’ or ‘Dracula Therapy’, works on the basis that the body’s own natural healing powers may slow and even reverse the ageing process. It is a revolutionary repair system that places growth factors in the exact location where we want the skin to repair and rejuvenate itself.
Platelets contain a high content of “growth factors” – proteins that help to heal injured tissue or damaged skin. Upon re-injection the platelets release their growth factors which trigger surrounding cells to proliferate, in turn stimulating repair, increasing volume and rejuvenating the skin.
Before treatment: It is very important that patients eat and drink a lot of fluids before attending their appointment. This will enable the blood to be withdrawn more easily.
Unsuitable Clients:
Individuals with platelet dysfunction syndrome, critical thrombocytopenia, hypofibrinogenaemia, haemodynamic instability, sepsis, acute & chronic infections and chronic liver pathology are not suitable candidates for PRP therapy.
Those undergoing anticoagulant therapy are also not suitable candidates.
PRP HAIR:
revolutionary PRP hair is the effective 100% natural hair growth treatment that using Platelet rich plasma (PRP) from patient own blood which contain essential growth factors to promote hair growth to inject into scalp. The result is proven from many research studies.
PRP contains special cells called Platelets and plasma, that can promote growth of the hair follicles by stimulating the cells in the micro-environment of the hair follicle and increase vascularity to hair root. The PRP stimulates inactive or newly implanted hair follicles into an active growth phase. The treatment works best for treating thinning hair, slowing or stopping the progression of hair loss and promoting hair growth after hair transplant.
Who is suitable for the PRP Hair
All types of hair loss and thin hair for both men and women age 18+
Pre and Post hair transplant and for patients who cannot benefit from other hair loss therapies.
Treatment time 60-90 mins
After care:
DO NOT touch, press, rub or manipulate the treated area(s) for at least 8 hours after your treatment.
wait until the following day after the procedure to wash your hair.
Hair shedding after your PRP injections is a common effect because the hair follicles become stimulated by the growth factors. You may experience temporary hair loss as the new healthier and thicker hair pushes the older hair shaft.
PRP Hair and Vampire facial + prp work :
The blood is taken from the patient during the treatment, then treated (in a centrifuge) to harvest the platelet rich plasma which will be activated and re-injected into the desired area. The therapy plumps the skin, fills out fine lines and wrinkles, and gives an overall more radiant appearance. The procedure also has fantastic healing benefits for injuries.
When the platelet plasma is injected into the skin, the platelets release their growth factors, stimulate other cells surrounding the injection site, plumping them up and causing them to increase in volume. One cell that is stimulated during the process is the fibroblast cell, which is the cell type that creates collagen. Collagen is what gives skin a youthful appearance. Vampire facial we apply the plasma back onto your face with a microneedling pen, This procedure has many benefits, including younger looking skin, and is only gaining in popularity.
What does the procedure involve
After a consultation we will draw your blood, This is done in a similar way to when you have blood taken at the GP. The blood will then be spun in a centrifuge. Any makeup will be removed, antiseptic will be applied to the injection site.Numbing cream will then be applied to the skin for 20-30 minutes.The PRP will then be injected into the desired area using a very fine needle, Injections will be given multiple times.The treatment usually takes 60-90 minutes.
Vampire facial is a combination of microneedling and platelet-rich plasma, microneedling uses short, fine needles to puncture the skin which allow the PRP to penetrate deeper into the skin the treatment usually takes 1 hour .

ANTI WRINKLE INJECTIONS:
Anti-Wrinkle Injections also known as ''YOUTH DROPS'' are a simple, safe, and effective way to eliminate unwanted facial lines and deep wrinkles. As we age, we lose tone and the natural elasticity of the skin. This prevents recoiling of the skin which leads to the formation of wrinkles, fine lines and folds.
It works by blocking impulses to facial muscles causing the muscles to relax, thereby reducing the prominence of expression lines and achieving a more youthful radiant look.
The results are not instant, and the final result will not be seen until up to 2 weeks after treatment at which time you will be invited back for any top up that is needed .
Unwanted lines and wrinkles start to develop on the face as a result of the dynamic movement of the facial muscles. Anti-wrinkle injections function by obstructing muscle impulses, which produces a "relaxed" effect. Le Monniez can help you look more vibrant and young on the face..
In addition to offering a brow lift and migraine relief, the technique can be utilised to reduce lines around the mouth, eyes, and forehead. It's still the first option for many people looking to achieve a natural and youthful appearance. Book today for your free consultation.
SKIN BOOSTERS / MESOTHERAPY
Mesotherapy and skin boosters are very popular at the moment as we are able to directly inject a hyaluronic acid gel into the skin. These acid gels are clinically proven to offer improvements to skin condition, gradually increasing elasticity, improving roughness and reducing the appearance of fine lines and other imperfections such as acne scars.
How does it work?
Tiny injections of skin booster are placed in the areas of concern at skin level and not deeper (like dermal fillers). The light weight hyaluronic acid molecules writhing the skin booster will then draw in water and moisture from the body to hydrate the area of skin that has been treated. The effects of the treatment usually take up to 4 weeks and can last up to 9 months to give the skin a more plump and healthier glow.
How long does the procedure take?
The actual procedure takes approximately 15 minutes to complete the small injections in the appropriate places. Your appointment will usually be booked for 30-45 minutes to make sure there is plenty of time to discuss your medical history, aftercare instructions and to ask as many questions as you need.

Are skin boosters like dermal fillers?
Skin boosters do not act like dermal fillers. They are made from lightweight hyaluronic acid gel which is placed into the skin layers to hydrate the skin and stimulate new natural collagen production.
What are the most common side effects?
Some people experience small spots of bruising where the skin booster has been injected. This is most common around the corner of the eyes as the skin is thin and there are many tiny vessels. The small bruising can usually be easily covered up by make-up and usually disappears within 1 – 2 weeks.

What to expect from your appointment?
A full consultation takes place to assess what the main concern is. The procedure, aftercare instructions, and costs are explained to the patient before we begin.
TEAR TROUGH FILLER:
What is tear trough filler?
Tear Trough Filler is a safe, fast, and non-surgical cosmetic treatment recommended for those with under-eye hollows, ‘eye bags’, and ‘dark circles’.
The deep crease below your lower eyelid and above your upper cheek is referred to as a tear trough. This usually casts a shadow below your eyes making you look older, tired, and unhealthy.
For some people, a dark or hollow tear trough can be inherited. However, for the majority of people, the tear trough becomes more prominent as they age. This happens as we lose volume in our natural facial fat pads and cheeks leading to a thinner, flatter face and unsupported tear trough area.
To replace the lost volume of your facial tissues that occurs as you get older, tear trough filler is injected into the affected areas around your eyes. This procedure is less invasive than tear trough surgeries that involve fat grafting and fat repositioning. So you can expect a younger-looking, smoother, and radiant skin free from lines and wrinkles.
How does tear trough filler work?
Light weight dermal filler is injected into the tear trough area to provide lift and fullness under the eyes. This reduces the amount of hallowing under the eyes and makes the area look brighter and rejuvenated.
Advantages of the tear trough filler treatment include:
Making you look younger, healthier, and confident;
Safe and relatively painless procedure;
Non-surgical procedure done in less than 45 mins;
Use of hyaluronic acid in this treatment is similar to natural hyaluronic acid in the human body. Hyaluronic acid is responsible for making the skin look supple and firm;
Immediately visible results that continue to improve for up to 4 weeks.
If you have dark shadows, sunken eye troughs, sagging under your eyes, or hollow eyes that won’t go away even after good rest and sleeping well, then you can consider Tear Trough Filler Treatment.
That said, Tear Trough Filler Treatment is recommended for those with:
Deep hollow tear troughs under the eyes
Good quality skin
Good physical health
Alternatively, this treatment is not recommended if you have:
Pigmentation under the eyes
Prominent fat pads in the tear trough
Thin skin
Medical conditions that might increase the risk of complicated side-affects
This treatment can be coupled with cheek fillers to support the tear trough and improve aesthetic results.
Dermal Filler Aftercare Advice
Immediately after treatment, there may be slight redness, swelling, tenderness and an itching sensation in the treated area. This is a normal result of the injection. The inconvenience is temporary and generally disappears in a few days. If it continues or if other reactions occur, please call us.
The initial swelling after lip treatment may last longer. Some patients experience swelling for about a week and the lips can look somewhat uneven during this time. This means that the results directly after the treatment should not be seen as the final result.
Avoid touching the treatment area 6 hours after the treatment. After that the area can be gently washed with soap and water and light make-up can be applied.
Until the initial swelling and redness have resolved, do not expose the treated area to intense heat (e.g. solarium and sunbathing) or extreme cold.
If you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, there is a risk that the needle punctures could contribute to another eruption of cold sores.
FILLERS : Lips, Cheak, Jaw, Chin, Marionette Lines & Nasolabial Folds
fillers are injections that add volume , they’re a type of dermal filler.
fillers consist of synthetic hyaluronic acid (HA) — HA is a natural substance in your body. There are many different brands of lip fillers, including Juvederm®, Restylane® and Perlane®.
fillers typically last 6 to 12 months depending on brand and how fast your body breaks down calories into energy (metabolism). Younger people tend to burn calories faster, so lip fillers don’t last as long.
Lip fillers are one of the most popular types of dermal filler. They increase the volume of your lips. YOU should be in good physical and mental health and have realistic expectations.
Fillers can very easily fill in that lost volume in the skin to instantly take years off and restore balance with the rest of the face. Smile lines, nasolabial folds are the lines seen from the sides of nose to the corners of the mouth. This area is easily corrected with filler to create a softer, youthful yet natural look to the face.
Cheek fillers are a safe and effective way to lift and sculpt your cheekbones. Also known as dermal fillers, they add volume to your cheeks while lifting them to achieve a fresh and contoured look.
Restore a youthful curve to your face in a soft and natural-looking way. Our cheek fillers will reduce the look of sagging or drooping skin while restoring volume.
Fat dissolving injections:
Fat dissolving injections are made from Deoxycholic Acid Solutions. This acid is naturally occurring, produced within the human body by the liver. By using this acid at a higher concentration it can be injected into specific areas and used to target and destroy fat cells.
Fat Dissolving Injections are a safe, effective treatment that reduces fat cells in the treated area It produces long lasting results, which means you can banish those annoyingly wobbly bits.
These injections can be used to treat small, exercise resistant, pockets of fat around the chin, chest, underarm pouches, bra fat, upper arms, abdomen, thighs, knees and ankles. It is very effective for body contouring, but is not a treatment for weight loss.
Made up from a number of different plant based compounds that have been refined in a lab environment. The ingredients dissolve the membranes of fat cells in the treated area. The fat cells become unstable and break open. The fatty acids contained within the cell are then eliminated by macrophages (part of the body’s immune system) and the liver.
Fat dissolving is not suitable if you:
Have diabetes.
Have liver or kidney disease.
Have active skin problem in the area to be treated.
Are taking blood thinning medicine e.g warfarin.
The injections are repeated every three to four weeks. After each treatment patients can expect some swelling, redness and skin irritation and tenderness in the area treated, which will subside after four to ten days.
Are Aqualyx results permanent?
Are results from Aqualyx ® Fat Melting Injections permanent? Yes, results with Aqualyx ® are long-lasting. The treatment destroys localised body fat cells for good. However, note that it won't stop you from storing new fat in the future.
After Injection
Please pay attention to the following points until two weeks after the procedure

Cleansing, makeup, and light showers are allowable on the day of the injection.
Exercise and/or excessive sweating should be avoided and sport massage is not recommended.
Do not touch or press excessively on the treatment area.
Drinking or excessive smoking is prohibited.
A balanced and healthy diet is recommended to be used in conjunction with the treatment to ensure the best result.
After treatment drink at least 0.5 litres of water and then continue drinking 2L of water every day for 1 week.

A. Side effects of fat dissolving injections are rare. You may experience swelling, bruising, itching, pain, sensitivity to pressure and excessive warmth at the injection site however, this is usually resolved within three to five days
How long does LipoLab last?
Results typically last from to 3-6 months, although this varies between patients depending on how long the hyaluronic acids take to be naturally absorbed by your body. Avoid Aspirin and Vitamin E for pain to reduce the risk of bruising or bleeding. you may also need 2 to 3 sessions to see results.
......................................................................................................................................
Enzyme peels: Face and Back.
Are composed of fruit enzymes and have many of the same results as chemical peels without the harshness and downtime. Similar to a chemical peel, enzyme peels exfoliate the skin by removing dead skin cells while nourishing the new layer of skin it leaves behind.
Aftercare:
There's little to no downtime or recovery involved after an enzyme peel, since they typically work without damaging or irritating your skin. It's likely all you'll experience is some mild tingling and potentially slight redness.
Apply SPF 30+ , Avoid make-up for 12 hours.
......................................................................................................................................
Chemical peel:
A chemical peel is a procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers. The skin that grows back is smoother. With a light or medium peel, you may need to undergo the procedure more than once to get the desired results.
Chemical peels are used to treat wrinkles, discolored skin and scars — usually on the face. They can be done alone or combined with other cosmetic procedures. And they can be done at different depths, from light to deep. Deeper chemical peels offer more-dramatic results but also take longer to recover from
Your Skin may Peel for 3–10 Days : The type and depth of the solution will dictate how long the skin will peel. “The traditional medium-depth chemical peels take three to five days for the skin to peel off before the new pink skin underneath arises.
It can take 14 days to heal after a medium chemical peel, but redness might last for months
A chemical peel isn't for everyone. Your doctor might caution against a chemical peel or certain types of chemical peels if you:
Have taken the oral acne medication isotretinoin (Myorisan, Claravis, others) in the past six months
Have a personal or family history of ridged areas caused by an overgrowth of scar tissue (keloids)
Are pregnant
Have frequent or severe outbreaks of cold sores
After Care:
Wash your face with cool water. Warm or hot water might not feel as good as cool or cold water, which can help soothe post-peel sensations.
Moisturize and hydrate. Since peels can temporarily compromise your skin’s protective barrier, it’s important to reinforce that barrier with a medium-to-thick moisturizer. Also, drink more water to help avoid dehydration, which could make your skin feel tight.
Apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or more. Your skin is more delicate after a peel, so avoid direct sun exposure, which can lead to even more visible signs of skin aging. If you must be exposed, use a Broad Spectrum physical sunscreen.
Avoid strenuous workouts, dry saunas and steam rooms. Increased blood circulation to the face can intensify warming, tingling, itching, redness or other uncomfortable side effects on freshly peeled skin. Skip such activities on the day you use a peel.
Don’t exfoliate.
For light peels, it's possible that you could wear makeup within 1-2 days post-peel, but we'd recommend letting your skin heal and breathe and not to use until skin has fully healed.
A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing procedure. Depending on the issues you're addressing with the procedure, you'll choose a chemical peel in one of three depths:
Light chemical peel. A light (superficial) chemical peel removes the outer layer of skin (epidermis). It's used to treat fine wrinkles, acne, uneven skin tone and dryness. You might have a light peel every two to five weeks.
Medium chemical peel. A medium chemical peel removes skin cells from the epidermis and from portions of the upper part of your middle layer of skin (dermis). It's used to treat wrinkles, acne scars and uneven skin tone. You might need to repeat the procedure to achieve or maintain the desired result.
During the procedure:
During a light and medium chemical peel
we will use a brush, cotton ball, gauze or sponge to apply a chemical solution typically containing glycolic acid or salicylic acid. The treated skin will begin to whiten. You might feel mild stinging while the chemical solution is on your skin, then we will apply a neutralizing solution or wash to remove the chemical solution from the treated skin.You might feel stinging and burning for up to 20 minutes.
