Happy Chinese New Year 2016!

 

Just want to say it's been such an awesome year that has just gone by and many thanks to my patients from The Clifford Clinic. It has been great seeing the improvements in many of the different concerns many different patients have came with and are happy with.

I'm glad I was there to help you prepare your skin for your weddings and for many of my patients who then return and I showed me your lovely wedding photos. Or do the many who were changing jobs and needed good skin while preparing for job interviews.

I'm glad I could be there for others whom I incidentally managed to detect some early skin cancers and I was also there for the many others as we together go through life's incredible journey.

To everyone else, hope you have a great 2016. Stay healthy and stay beautiful as we all aim to age gracefully!

Acne, the permanent cure with AGNES

For those who have seen SL's blog, I guess she gives an update of her acne progress much quicker than me, as I do not often have the time to log on to document her progress. Nevertherless, these are some of her old photos taken from my IPhone. Though it has been a few months since these photos are taken, but they still provide a good update on her progress through the treatments.

 

These were taken in 25th June 2015. Slow progress, but I can see the improvement she is getting. It would need time for the pigmentation to improve but we are getting there.

AGNES and Q-switch laser. The treatment for acne / pimples

It has been only a week since the previous photos were taken. These were taken on the 11th of June 2015. Currently a single session of AGNES has been completed and I have began her Q-switch treatment.

She has reported less commedones, although clearly there is still a lot of hyperpigmentation

The recovery post AGNES is actually quite fast. Initially you may notice a few rather raised spots, but that is expected even after a facial.

These spots usually calm down within about 2-3 days. After that the Q-switch laser would then be required to remove the pink / brown pigmentation.

Sometimes there is evidence of some pustules post agnes, but these do subside pretty quickly as well, which is also the reason why you would be required to return on the second day to extract these pustules.

 

A lot of the pustular nodular acne have calmed down, leaving behind post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation which are essentially acne scars or acne marks.

The Q-switch laser ND YAG is a laser used for pigmentation. It is used to remove haemoglobin and melanin, which are deposited in the skin.

Studies performed using the Q-switch have showed significant reduction in inflamed, non-inflamed lesions as well as sebum levels.

Q-Switch Laser - Your First Step to Flawless Skin

Having poor skin can really get you down. Who doesn't wish to have skin without freckles, pigmentation, sun spots or even acne scars?

A solution is at hand!

At The Clifford Clinic, we have the Q-Switch Laser - a technologically advanced lasers. It is FDA approved and clinically proven for the removal of both superficial and deep hyperpigmented lesions. 

The laser works by delivering clinical light quickly with intense energy. The pulses are absorbed by the treated area, breaking down the pigments into smaller pigments, which are then eliminated by the body's natural lymphatic system.

Minimal Down Time, Maximum Results

One of the advantages of Q-Switch Laser is that the down time is very, very low, yet patients get to enjoy the good results in just one session.

Jacqualine who is a personal friend wrote about her experiences at a website called hellomrstan. She  was suffering from hereditary freckles and with just one session, most of her pigmentation was resolved within a month.

You can find out more from her own blog on her experience with the laser. You may notice that most of the bigger spots have been resolved!

Suitable for other pigmentations

Apart from freckles and sun spots, this revolutionary Q-Switch Laser is also very effective in removing birth marks, tattoos and even stretch marks.

Lose Stubborn Fats - Zero Down Time with Liposonix

Liposonix is a new, non-invasive FDA-approved treatment that uses advanced high-intensity focused ultrasound technology to permanently destroy targeted unwanted fat.

How does Liposonix work? Here are 5 things you should know about Liposonix, and why it is taking the world by storm:

1. What is Liposonix?

Liposonix uses focused ultrasound waves to permanently get rid of fat cells selectively in your problem areas. For many, many years, people have been trying to selectively remove fat from problem areas, using all sorts of methods, such as injections, exercise and many other cosmetic surgery techniques. Until now, the only way to really remove fat from a selective area was liposuction. But now, there is Liposonix.

2. How does Liposonix work?

Click on the above video to watch how does Liposonix work. Basically, Liposonix makes use of ultrasound energy to destroy fat cells. It is extremely safe as it is non-invasive, and it only concentrates on the subcutaneous fat tissue layer.

3. What happens to the destroyed fat cells then?

Once the fat cells are destroyed, it activates the body's natural immune system to 'eat up' the fats debris. This results in an overall reduction in local fat cells volume and typically, users can experience a reduction of 4 to 5cm on their abdomen and waist!

4. How long does it take for me to see the results?

It takes the body system about 8 to 12 weeks to completely remove the fat cells debris, so start early, if you have an important event coming up, like wedding, graduation, photo shoot etc.

5. Is this treatment suitable for anybody?

Most people are suitable for Liposonix. Currently, Liposonix is recommended for people with tummy and love handle problems. If you have other areas of concern, you can also schedule an appointment with me at +65 6532 2400 at The Clifford Clinic. I would be able to advise you further.

6. Are there any side effects?

Liposonix side effects are generally very minimal, such as slight redness, which usually resolves after a while. Other patients may experience bruising, which takes up to 2 weeks to subside.

7. Where can I get my Liposonix treatment from?

You can get your Liposonix treatment from The Clifford Clinic, just give us a call at +65 6532 2400 to arrange for a session. Usually, 1 session is sufficient for each treatment area. 1 session, 1 hour, 1 size smaller. What are you waiting for?
