Laser Hair Removal The laser emits a gentle beam of light that passes through the skin, into the hair follicle where it is absorbed. The laser energy is transformed into heat, which destroys the hair follicle leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. A patch test will be carried out to verify effectiveness prior to the entire treatment. Full treatment may be done after 24hours or up to two weeks later, depending on the skin reaction.
How it works: When properly applied by a medical practitioner, laser hair removal is the most effective way to get rid of unwanted body hair. However, to have long lasting results you need to attend multiple sessions of treatment on the same problem areas; and when you add up all the costs involved every time you are paying for the treatment, it actually adds up to quite a lot of money to stay totally hair free.

Blepharoplasty Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is a procedure to remove fat--usually along with excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes - features that make you look older and more tired than you feel, and may even interfere with your vision. Blepharoplasty can be done alone, or in conjunction with other facial surgery procedures such as a thread facelift or browlift. The best candidates for eyelid surgery are men and women who are physically healthy, psychologically stable, and realistic in their expectations.
Blepharoplasty can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence.

Most are 35 or older, but if droopy, baggy eyelids run in your family, you may decide to have eyelid surgery at a younger age. As people age, the eyelid skin stretches, muscles weaken, and fat accumulates around the eyes, causing “bags” above and below.

Micropigmentation A very specialised, semi-permanent technique where a vegetable dye (pigment) is implanted into the skin to create eyebrows, eyeliner, beauty spots and lip liner. • No more pencil required. • It does not smudge or wash off. • Less make-up to apply, therefore saving time. • Sparse lashes look fuller and more luscious. • No need to pencil in sparse or thinning eyebrows. • Brows become even in shape and colour
Micropigmentation can be applied to the skin to create eyebrows, eyeliner, beauty spots & lip liner.

Thread Lifts A cosmetic procedure that lifts and realigns sagging tissue while adding definition to facial contours by using absorbable ‘threads’. This procedure helps to reposition sagging cheeks, lift eyebrows, support the neck and improve facial features. How do they work? Due to the unique design of the specially designed soft barbs of the threads, the surrounding tissues act to hold the threads in place without the need for visible scars. For the mid-face procedure, the surgeon makes a tiny incision close to the ear and the threads are advanced along the previously marked contours toward the chin and jaw line, thus creating a firm hold on the underlying tissues without causing additional trauma. The barbs do the work of holding, by being fixated to tissue as they are softly contoured into place.
Generally speaking, the best candidates for this procedure are both women and men from their thirties onwards who don’t want or are unable to have a traditional face-lift but long for a more youthful appearance. The procedure is safe and effective when performed by our medical practitioner at estetika who has been trained in these types of procedures.

Fat Grafting Fat Transfer is procedure that removes deposits of fat from a part of the body where it’s not needed and relocates it to restore volume in areas that have become gaunt, such as sunken cheeks and facial lines. Because the tissue comes from the patient’s own body there is no chance of an allergic reaction
The fat that is removed is then refined and centrifuged. It is then reinserted .into the face through tiny incisions and laced into the structures of the face in layers to gradually build up contour. The wounds heal without a visible mark in most instances.
