Acne is a common skin condition that affects most people at some point. It causes spots, oily skin and sometimes skin that's hot or painful to touch.

There are six main types of spot caused by acne:

• Blackheads - small black or yellowish bumps that develop on the skin; they're not filled with dirt, but are black because the inner lining of the hair follicle produces pigmentation (colouring)
• Whiteheads - have a similar appearance to blackheads, but may be firmer and won't empty when squeezed
• Papules - small red bumps that may feel tender or sore
• Pustules - similar to papules, but have a white tip in the centre, caused by a build-up of pus
• Nodules - large hard lumps that build up beneath the surface of the skin and can be painful
• Cysts - the most severe type of spot caused by acne; they're large pus-filled lumps that look similar to boils and carry the greatest risk of causing permanent scarring

Treatment for acne depends on how severe it is. It can take several months of treatment before acne symptoms improve.

Here at Medikas we can offer a comprenhensive range of treatments to help you, from IPL, LED Therapy, Plasma Shower, Chemical Peels and full Skincare Advice and Mineral Makeup.

Aging skin droops and develops wrinkles, lines and furrows. The severity of these changes in an individual depends on genetic tendency, skin phototype and exposure to environmental factors.

Facial lines and wrinkles (rhytides) form because of the following factors:

• Ageing processes
• Sun damage
• Muscle movement
• Gravity
• Injury
• Surgery
• Acne
• Other skin diseases with a tendency to scar (e.g. discoid lupus)
• Smoking

There is often a degree of asymmetry to the lines, as people tend to smile or frown more on one side than the other, or consistently sleep on the right or the left cheek.

Remarkable changes in facial appearance can be obtained, giving a younger appearance and improving complexion. Often combinations of different cosmetic procedures are required for the best results.

Here at Medikas we can offer wide range of treatments to help you from Botulinum Toxin, Dermal Fillers, Chemical Peels, Skin Tightening with our Facial Radio Frequency Sublime and also for deeper lines our Sublative Technology.

It is most important to protect the skin from the sun life-long using sunscreens on exposed areas daily, and to avoid smoking and exposure to second-hand smoke or other pollutants.

Hyperpigmentation can be caused by sun damage, inflammation, or other skin injuries, including those related to acne vulgaris.

People with darker skin tones are more prone to hyperpigmentation, especially with excess sun exposure.

Many forms of hyperpigmentation are caused by an excess production of melanin.

It is a common, usually harmless condition in which patches of skin become darker in color than the normal surrounding skin.

Hyperpigmentation can be diffuse or focal, affecting such areas as the face and the back of the hands.

Here at Medikas we can offer a wide range of treatments to help this such as Lasers/IPL, LED Therapy, Chemical Peels, Mesotherapy, Plasma Shower and full Skincare Advice.

Acne scarring can sometimes develop as a complication of acne. Any type of acne spot can lead to scarring, but it's more common when the most serious types of spots (nodules and cysts) burst and damage nearby skin.

Scarring can also occur if you pick or squeeze your spots, so it's important not to do this.

Here at Medikas we can offer a comprehensive range of treatments to help you such as Sublative Treatments with our E2, Chemical Peels, Skin Boosters and/or Subcision.

Laser Hair Removal is used for the removal of unwanted hair anywhere on the body.

Using a laser directly onto the skin a laser beam passes through the skin to an individual hair follicle. The intense heat of the laser damages the hair follicle, which causes cell death and permanent loss of the hair follicle.

At Medikas we use the latest and most powerful medical grade machines, which are effective and very quick, unlike many offered by beauty clinics which are weak energy IPL machines which often don’t kill off the hair follicles but just slow the growth cycle down and results in a temporary benefit only.

Dull, Tired and Stressed skin looks just that. Imaging a veil over the skin, covering all complexion glows. Skin looks tired strained and no bounce in its step. Skin has overexposed itself and is being scavenged by extrinsic aging. People of all ages complain about a lack of energy. And it’s no wonder. We work long hours making it difficult to manage a personal life, are sleep deprived, and don’t have time to exercise, all while living in a polluted and stress-filled environment. These conditions deplete energy from the body and take their toll our skin too, leaving it dull and lacklustre. To understand the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic aging, look at the backs of your hands. What you see is the result of external, or extrinsic, aging. Now look at the inside of your wrist. The changes you see there are the result of intrinsic aging.

Symptoms may also include:

• Fine lines
• Coarse wrinkles
• Loss of elasticity
• Rough, scaly texture
• Dry, leathery appearance
• Broken capillaries

WHAT’S HAPPENING?

As we grow older, our cells become weaker and signs of damage are more noticeable, we are also constantly exposed to the UV rays of the sun, so our skin starts to appear dry and dull. This is the result of the outside layer of the skin getting excessive build up and is not exfoliated on a regular basis. Build-up is especially noticed after we have spent the summer in the sun. It is more apparent to women since we realise that our make-up doesn't look as fresh and our foundation begins to fade within a couple of hours. Our make-up and foundation is actually being absorbed into the accumulated dead skin cells, which gives a very tired and unhealthy look to the skin. Also as we age everything slows down and vital nutrients are not delivered quickly or well to where they are needed, a good diet is essential.

When you're under 20, your skin cells turn over every 28 days. But by your 20s, turnover slows, and between 30 and 40, that rate slows to every 40 days. "Dead skin cells pile up, diffusing the light and making skin dull,”

Skin laxity or drooping is caused by several factors:

• A reduction of the fat cells under the skin (subcutaneous tissue)
• Loss of collagen and elastin fibres in the dermis reducing cutaneous strength and elasticity
• Gravity, which allows the lax tissue to sag

The result is:

• Brow ptosis (the forehead sags so the eyebrows drop over the eyelids, which then feel heavy)
• Eyelid ptosis (the upper eyelid drops, sometimes obscuring the pupil)
• Baggy upper and lower eyelids
• Sagging lower eyelids, revealing the reddened mucosal surface (ectropion)
• Hollow look to the eyes
• Tired-looking eyes with a prominent groove beside the nose (tear-trough deformity)
• Jowls (loss of jaw line)
• Loss of neckline
• Elongated earlobes
• Dropping of the tip of the nose
• Thinning of the upper lip

Remarkable changes in facial appearance can be obtained, giving a younger appearance and improving complexion. Often combinations of different cosmetic procedures are required for the best results.

Although most people love the warmth and light of the sun, too much sun exposure can significantly damage human skin. The sun's heat dries out areas of unprotected skin and depletes the skin's supply of natural lubricating oils. In addition, the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause burning and long-term changes in the skin's structure.

The most common types of sun damage to the skin are:

• Dry skin - Sun-exposed skin can gradually lose moisture and essential oils, making it appear dry, flaky and prematurely wrinkled, even in younger people.
• Sunburn - Sunburn is the common name for the skin injury that appears immediately after the skin is exposed to UV radiation. Mild sunburn causes only painful reddening of the skin, but more severe cases can produce tiny fluid-filled bumps (vesicles) or larger blisters.
• Actinic keratosis - This is a tiny bump that feels like sandpaper or a small, scaly patch of sun-damaged skin that has a pink, red, yellow or brownish tint. Unlike suntan markings or sunburns, an actinic keratosis does not usually go away unless it is frozen, chemically treated or removed by a doctor. An actinic keratosis develops in areas of skin that have undergone repeated or long-term exposure to the sun's UV light, and it is a warning sign of increased risk of skin cancer. About 10% to 15% of actinic keratoses eventually change into squamous cell cancers of the skin.

Long-term changes in the skin's collagen (a structural protein) - These changes include photoaging (premature aging of the skin because of sun exposure) and actinic purpura (bleeding from fragile blood vessels beneath the skin surface). In photoaging, the skin develops wrinkles and fine lines because of changes in the collagen of a deep layer of the skin called the dermis. In actinic purpura, UV radiation damages the structural collagen that supports the walls of the skin's tiny blood vessels. Particularly in older people, this collagen damage makes blood vessels more fragile and more likely to rupture following a slight impact.

Over a lifetime, repeated episodes of sunburn and unprotected sun exposure can increase a person's risk of malignant melanoma and other forms of skin cancer. As a rule, if you have fair skin and light eyes, you are at greater risk of sun-related skin damage and skin cancers. This is because your skin contains less of a dark pigment called melanin, which helps to protect the skin from the effects of UV radiation.

One of the most distinctive qualities of young skin is its ability to stretch and then return to its previous state. Imagine invisible rubber bands that pull the skin back. However, as we age, those rubber bands weaken, until the skin becomes loose. Since the law of gravity is the one we all have to obey, our skin eventually begins to sag, forming flaps and folds.

Here at Medikas we can help you to treat saggy skin with our wide range of treatments like radio frequency for skin tightening with our Velashape, Mesotherapy, Plasma Shower or with our Dermapen.

Proshock-ice for fat & cellulite removal uses an innovative, patented technology called “ice-shock-lipolysis. This method incorporates a combination of two technologies in order to address two different problems.

Technology 1 – Ice Lipolysis (Apoptosis)

Cools, crystallises and destroys only the fat cells without damaging the surrounding tissues. These dead fat cells are then removed by the body permanently (dead fat cells can’t grow back).

Technology 2 – Shock Therapy

Uses high pressure acoustic waves to help quickly eliminate the dead fat cells and safely rupture and remove the fibroid cells or cellulite from the body. This effectively eliminates cellulite, smoothing and firming the area with improvement in the blood circulation.

Cellulite is the herniation of subcutaneous fat within fibrous connective tissue that manifests topographically as skin dimpling and nodularity, often on the pelvic region (specifically the buttocks), lower limbs, and abdomen.

Cellulite occurs in most postpubescent females. A review gives a prevalence of 85%-98% of women,indicating that it is physiologic rather than pathologic. It can result from a complex combination of factors ranging from hormones to heredity.

Here at Medikas we can help you to treat cellulite with a comprehensive range of treatments such as Radio Frequency with Velashape, Cryolipolysis with Proshock, Mesotherapy, Dermapen and Plasma Shower.
