| Q. What
is light treatment for wrinkles?
A. Restylane is a non
surgical method of treating fine lines around the eyes which
has been found to give amazing results.
It was born of the Paterson lamp which
has been used over a long period of time along with a special
cream to treat superficial skin cancers. A side effect noticed
was the disappearance of wrinkles which caused patients
to request the same treatment for the opposite side to match
up the good effect on the cancer treated side.
The Treatment consists of delivering
pure spectral light via a lamp in a controlled manner to
produce results.

Q.
What does the treatment consist of?
A. As a rule of thumb, ten
treatments, lasting 20mins each side, are carried out on
alternate days over a period of three weeks. However, skin
types may vary and the treatment is individually prescribed
depending on response.
Q. How does it work?
A. The light treatment has
been found to stimulate natural collagen formation which
is lasting. This treatment, therefore, is a permanent improvement
and only four "top-up" treatments yearly may be
required to keep the improvement unlike other "filler"
treatments which require to start from scratch once the
initial improvement is lost.
There is no miracle cure
for ageing skin, but this is a totally natural one and the
cheapest so far. |
