I have cellulite on my upper thighs.  Is there any treatments you would recommend to help with the appearance for the coming months?

Thank you for your question.  This is a  common complaint for so many people and fortunately there are ways to fix and control cellulite. Generally the first step is to address a condition called stagnation which is the underlying cause of fatty build up and cellulite.  By removing stagnation you will  smooth the skin to get rid of the appearance of cellulite.

A tried and tested method to remove stagnation is a treatment called Biosculpt. This treatment is a painless and non-invasive fat reduction method with results that are similar to liposuction (without the cost, pain, surgery and downtime.) Biosculpt is a cupping method,  it works to move the fluid in the Extra Cellular Matrix and in doing so allows the trapped fatty deposits,  that cause the dimpled effect to be broken up and then drained away through the lymphatic system. By breaking down the stubborn fat and removing the stagnation, immediately   the skin becomes smoother and takes on a toned and firm appearance. Biosculpt will give you a cellulite free, smooth, beach ready look. Not to mention the butt lift that is a happy bi product of regular treatments.

The Before and After Image shown is of a client who received 10 Biosculpt sessions to achieve the result shown in the photograph.

My friend had a Hollywood lift at Contours Face and Body Clinic.

The Hollywood lift is the ultimate surgery-free anti-aging-facial treatment exclusive to Contours Face and Body Clinic in Adelaide.  Designed to tone and firm facial skin through an increase in circulation and to lift facial muscles through a series of muscle lifting electrical currents, this treatment gives an extreme lifting result from a single session. Designed to be given in a series of sessions, progressive treatments improve skin elasticity and tighten the suspension muscles of the face giving a profound and noticeable  anti- aging facial lifting effect.

The treatment reduces fatty deposits and sagging around the jawline and neck and reinstates a more youthful heart shaped face . The firming and toning facial effect is immediate and shows up as tightened jowls and firmer, fresher skin. All treatments are given in the comfort of our Adelaide and Gawler Place clinics,  and progressive treatments will reinforce  results. The Hollywood Lift  has been featured on US talk show Dr Phil, and is endorsed by celebrities worldwide, impressive credentials for a treatment which originated in Adelaide!

What is Sublative Rejuvenation and why Botox is no longer the answer?

Up until recently laser and skin rejuvenation treatments using light based therapies such as IPL and LED  have been the preferred solution to correct skin issues such as wrinkles, uneven texture and tone and environmental damage such as sun damage.

Introduced in 2001 these treatments became the preferred choice over more invasive procedures such as full face laser resurfacing and agressive chemical peels which preceeded them.

Skin Needling or Collagen Induction Therapy  is an amazing  facial and body rejuvenation and skin tightening treatment, very similar to “coring the lawn.” We core the lawn to aerate it and to help it grow back stronger and thicker so that our new lawn is beautifully lush and green.

So too, with needling of the skin, we can create fresh, youthful, beautifully lush skin and repair the damage caused by environmental factors and trauma in a matter of weeks.

Skin Needling provides a pathway to smooth skin for people who are seeking dramatic improvement for acne scarring, general scarring, deep pigmentation, stretch marks and for advanced skin tightening and rejuvenation.

Skin Needling’s technical name is Collagen Induction Therapy, the treatment involves the punching of tiny holes into the kin via a roller encrusted with tiny needles.  These tiny needles create micro channels into the deeper layers of the skin to allow for the increased transportation of vitamin A, C, E and strong antioxidants by up to 10,000 percent.

As we age a range of environmental factors cause the depletion of these enriched ingredients and it becomes increasing necessary to feed the skin to combat the damage. These products are designed to create change in the skin.

Skin Needling causes change to happen immediately, because the micro channels  create a pathway to take the enriched products  straight to where the product is needed so it can create immediate benefits.

At Contours Face and Body Clinic we have four senior therapists who are highly trained and experienced in this procedure and we employ strict hygiene standards, to book a consultation please call 0883635884 or 0882272170

Cosmetic tattooing is a procedure that injects pharmaceutical grade pigments into the dermal layer of your skin. This gives a shadow of colour that looks exactly like the most flawlessly applied make-up. It is precisely like tattooing except it enhances your looks and self-confidence largely and gives an effect of make-up all the time for at least three to five years.

This is why cosmetic tattooing is fast becoming one of the most popular non-invasive cosmetic surgery treatments available. You really can wake up with makeup!

Cosmetic tattooing gives a solution for your eyes, lips, eyebrows and face.

The procedures range from eyeliner top and or bottom, lash enhancement, eyebrows, lip line, lip blend, full lip, beauty spot.

Depending on your skin tone and hair colour, the qualified technician will be able to assist you in selecting the perfect shades for your permanent make-up.

1. It also helps in disguising scars that you always wished would go away. It is ideal for women who are always on the go and have no time to apply make-up every day.

2. Women who have been allergic to cosmetics and have not been able to wear make-up can do so now.

3. Men and women with pale, thin, or poorly defined lips can go in for cosmetic lip tattooing. Women do not have to worry about leaving lipstick marks anymore.

4. Do you have asymmetrical facial features that dissatisfy you? Cosmetic tattooing can fix this.

5. Extremely oily skin can cause your make-up to smear. However, with this tattooing you do not have to worry about your smeared make-up anymore.

Radio Frequency is the latest technique being incorporated into anti-ageing skin treatments.

Dermal Matrix Therapy Radio Frequency helps tighten skin on the face and body through the use of heat which penetrates deep into dermis layer and stimulates the production of collagen.

The radio frequency is generated through a Dermal Matrix machine with various metal attachments. For the face, there are two different sized pads which are massaged over the skin during the 40 minute treatment.

Dina Matters of Contours Face and Body Clinic says she monitored the development of the treatment for several years before introducing it into her Salons.

“In the past 12 months it’s reached a point of being an accepted and well recognised method of tightening the skin and the equipment has become safe and less invasive” she says.

The procedure will feel warm on the skin but should be comfortable at all times.

As a facial treatment, it can be used alone or combined with another service, depending on individual needs. Contours Face and Body Clinic teams radio frequency and IPL (intense pulsed light) in it’s Dream Lift treatment.

“It’s extremely popular as the collagen stimulation is enhanced and increased through the double treatment effect” she says.

After radio frequency the skin may retain some heat and can look slightly red but makeup can be applied straight away.

“There’s no pain or downtime and the results are instant” Dina says.

As with all skin treatments customers should check with their salon about possible side effects. Treatments range from $99 to $300 and package prices are available.
