____________
New At Timeless!

LineXel Fractional CO2 Laser

Fractional laser skin treatment is an exciting new technology that successfully corrects many dermatological and cosmetic skin conditions, with increased comfort and minimal post-treatment pain and care. Fractional laser skin treatments give excellent results for:

Acne & Acne Scar
Wrinkle Treatment
Rhytides

Skin tone & Texture
Facial Lighting
Dyschromia

Fractional laser skin treatments create areas of treated tissue surrounded by untreated, healthy tissue. LineXel fractional laser treatment creates narrow, deep columns that extend through the epidermis into the dermis through an array of
intense laser energy microbeams. The body’s natural healing process creates new, healthy tissue to replace the columns of affected tissue – improving the skin condition being treated.

One of the key benefits of fractional laser treatments is that downtime is significantly minimized. For LineXel treatments, downtime may be as short as 4 days as compared to traditional full-surface ablative treatments which can result in weeks to months of downtime.



Intense Pulsed Light

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment to correct a number of benign skin conditions such as: - brown pigmentation - age spots - small red veins - lines and wrinkles - sun damage and redness IPL also offers gentle, non-invasive permanent hair reduction on all body areas.

Welcome!

We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Timeless Anti-Aging and Skin Rejuvenation Clinic.

The treatments that we offer at Timeless focuses on you, our patients, in order to achieve Beauty and Health Inside Out.

Patients have asked us; “I am 40 years old but I feel like I’m 60. Is there something that you can do to help me?”

This desire to remain healthy and functional despite advancement in one’s chronological age has brought a new specialty to fruition called Anti-Aging Medicine.

Anti-Aging Medicine focuses on the early detection, prevention, and treatment or reversal of age related decline and disease, therefore, enhancing the quality and extending the quantity of the human lifespan.

Scientific evidence has shown that we actually age because of a decline in our hormones as we age. By identifying this decline and replacing these hormones back to the optimal level of a 20-35 year old we can prevent age related decline and optimize human performance when properly coupled with proper diet, exercise and high quality supplements.

Another segment of our patient population often ask; “I feel wonderful but I don’t look the way I feel. Can you do something to help me?”

This is where Aesthetic Medicine can help. We can determine problematic areas of your skin and formulate series of treatments, which will enhance your beauty. Problems such as acne, pigmentation, large pores, sagging and wrinkling, cellulite and localized body fat can all be treated effectively by various scientifically proven treatment options to enhance your appearance and rejuvenate your skin. The treatments that we offer at Timeless are non-invasive or minimally invasive so that downtime is either non-existant or minimal. This means procedures can even be performed during your lunch break.

We encourage you to meet with us to discuss treatment options tailored to meet your needs as we embark on a journey to help you achieve Beauty and Health Inside Out.

BRINGING OUT THE BEAUTY IN YOU

Aesthetic Medicine involves treatments and services that are scientifically and clinically proven to enhance a person’s external appearance. Aesthetic Medicine offers patients treatment options without having to go under the knife. These treatments are “Lunch-time” procedures with minimal or no downtime.

Our patients often don’t want to look like someone else. Instead, they just want to look refreshed and rejuvenated, a bit more the way they look in pictures taken long ago.

Understanding your skin



The skin is a complex organ composed of several cell types and structures, designed to protect our body from the environment. It is composed of 3 skin layers namely the Epidermis which is the outermost layer, followed by the deeper Dermis made up primarily of connective tissue, follicles, glands, sensory nerves and vessels to feed epidermis. The dermis is separated from the epidermis by a structure known as the Dermal-epidermal junction. The deepest layer of skin is called the Hypodermis or Subcutis, which is made up of fatty tissue. The hypodermis attaches the dermis to its underlying tissues.

We offer the following services at Timeless:
o Chemical peel
o Microdermabrasion
o Intense Pulsed Light
o Mesotherapy
o Dermoelectroporation
o Radiofrequency Therapy
o Fillers
o Others: Medical Grade Skincare products, Mineral makeup

Our Professional Staff and Physician will guide you in choosing the most suitable treatment option for you. We discuss below the basics of each treatment for your reference.

GLYCOLIC PEEL SKIN TREATMENT: THE NEOSTRATA SKIN REJUVENATION SYSTEM



Timeless provides its patients with Neostrata Glycolic Peel Skin Treatments to help you Advance to healthy, radiant skin.

NeoStrata professional products are formulated with alpha hydroxyacids (AHAs), polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) and bionic acids to enhance therapeutic treatments and skin care recommended by physicians.

NeoStrata glycolic peel treatments are quick, in-office procedures performed by trained professionals under the supervision of our on-staff Physician.

A glycolic acid peel treatment is a specific technique for skin renewal. During this process, a high concentration of glycolic acid is applied to the skin for a short period of time and then chemically neutralized to end the treatment. The procedure rapidly removes the damaged layer of surface skin cells revealing fresh skin, and stimulating cell rebuilding and restructuring of deeper skin layers.

Other commonly used chemical peeling agents such as trichloroacetic acid (TCA), salicylic acid and phenol are effective in a number of conditions requiring a medium to deep skin peel. However, they are, by nature, toxic to cells and usually require a longer skin recovery period compaired to superficial AHA peels.

Glycolic peel is indicated for Photoaging skin, Pigmented skin, Acne skin and Acne scarring.

The benefits of the Glycolic peel include:
o Increase skin glow
o Smoothen and softens the skin
o Minimizes pore size
o Soften fine lines
o Diminishes coarse lines from sun damage
o Improves oily complexion
o Treats acne & blackheads
o Smoothens acne scars
o Lightens pigmentation irregularities



MICRODERMABRASION


Microdermabrasion is a mini procedure that involves the skin being "sandblasted" by aluminum oxide crystals or an abrasive surface such as Diamond to remove the stratum corneum (top) layer of the skin; dead skin cells. Microdermabrasion also promotes the production of new cells in the basal (deepest) layer of the dermis. Microdermabrasion requires no down time. It can clean your pores incredibly and hinder any future breakouts if used on a regular basis. Microdermabrasion also stimulates collagen networking to further even out skin texture and appearance.

The best candidates for microdermabrasion are individuals with acne prone and blotchy skin, small scars, rhytides, keratoses, large pores, milia, or sebaceous hyperplasia. If you have sun damage or uneven texture and would like to improve the condition of your skin, you may be a good candidate for Microdermabrasion.

Microdermabrasion is not recommended for those who have active keloids, undiagnosed lesions, recent herpes outbreaks, warts, active, weeping acne (stages 3 to 4), active rosacea, unstable diabetes or autoimmune disorders



INTENSE PULSED LIGHT (IPL)

IPL uses pulsed light to correct a number of benign skin conditions such as: - brown pigmentation - age spots - small red veins - lines and wrinkles - sun damage and redness IPL also offers gentle, non-invasive permanent hair reduction on all body areas.

IPL systems work on the same principles as lasers in that light energy is absorbed into particular target cells with colour (chromophores) in the skin. The light energy is converted to heat energy, which causes damage to the specific target area. IPL systems are different to lasers in that they deliver many wavelengths (or colours) in each pulse of light instead of just one wavelength. Most IPL systems use filters to refine the energy output for the treatment of certain areas. This enhances penetration without using excessive energy levels and enables targetting of specific chromophores (these are skin components that absorb light).

IPL therapy is considered a non-ablative resurfacing technique, which means that it targets the lower layers of skin (dermis) without affecting the top layers of skin (epidermis). The results are not as dramatic as ablative resurfacing where both the dermis and epidermis are injured to produce a much more noticeable overall outcome. The advantage of IPL therapy is its minimal downtime – a patient can often have the procedure done in their lunch break and return to work immediately afterwards.







MESOTHERAPY


Pioneered by the French Physician Dr Michel Pistor in 1952, Mesotherapy is a non-surgical, relatively painless injection procedure that is used worldwide to treat a broad range of conditions. Mesotherapy specifically targets areas with microinjections of vitamins minerals amino acids, conventional medications and homeopathic preparation. These microinjections are delivered directly into the mesoderm to promote the body’s circulatory, lymphatic and immune systems to create a biological response and reverse abnormal physiology.

Mesotherapy is used for:
o Body Sculpting
o Facial Sculpting
o Cellulite reduction
o Skin Tightening
o Skin Rejuvenation and Aging
o Scars and stretch marks
o Hair Loss

For Body sculpting, Facial Sculpting, and cellulite reduction, we use a product whose active ingredient is Phosphatidylcholine. Phosphatidylcholine injections should not be regarded as a new miracle drug for weight reduction. However, in the case of fat deposits, which cannot be removed by diet or exercise, Phosphatidylcholine injections are effective. They do this by helping the natural metabolic process during which fat is melted away and then eliminated from the body. The medication is directly injected into the area concerned. Areas suitable for treatment are: Double chin, cheeks, eye fat-pads, buttocks, thighs, love handles, hips, abdomen, upper arms, knee and elbow joints.

The customized mesotherapy formula injected in a specific area blocks the cells from storing fat and helps breakdown the existing fat cells. After mesotherapy your body then naturally flushes out the brokendown fat.

The number of treatments differs from person to person, depending upon body region and body size.


DERMOELECTROPORATION




For clients afraid of the injections that are required for mesotherapy, Timeless is exclusively offering a no-needle version for treatments on the face. The treatment, using Dermoelectroporation, can be used for double chin reduction skin firming and rejuvenation. The machine uses electrical currents and ionic technology to deliver the therapeutic ingredients directly through the skin.

During the two-step procedure, microdermabrasion is performed first to exfoliate the skin for better penetration of the solution. Then Dermoelectroporation delivers the drug solutions to target the patient’s specific problem areas. Vibrations minimize the feeling of the electrical pulses for a treatment that is easy on the patient, with no pain or bruising.

RADIOFREQUENCY THERAPY

Using high frequency delivery method, waves of energy penetrate deep into the skin to generate a natural form of heat energy. This energy stimulates and improves cell function, promotes increased blood and lymphatic circulation, assists in cellulite reduction, dissolves fat and encourages skin regeneration.


Radiofrequency Therapy is used for:
Face Treatments: Sagging skin, under-eye bags, expression lines, double chin
Body Treatments: Cellulite, localized fat, breast firming

Treatments are painless. In fact, patients say it is so comfortable it feels like a hot stone massage.

Although radiofrequency does not treat obesity it plays a role in body and facial recontouring, wrinkle reduction and lifting.

In combination with mesotherapy/dermoelectroporation, radiofrequency provides more effective facial and body contouring.

KINERASE skincare provides powerful anti-aging efficacy, delivering clinically-proven visible results in gentle skin-caring formulations.

With Kinerase, indulge the luxury of skincare science to reveal youthful, radiant skin.

4. HELIOCARE

Sunblock protects your skin by absorbing and/or reflecting UVA and UVB radiation. All sunblocks have a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) rating. The SPF rating indicates how long a sunscreen remains effective on the skin. A user can determine how long their sunblock will be effective by multiplying the SPF factor by the length of time it takes for him or her to suffer a burn without sunscreen.

For instance, if you normally develop a sunburn in 10 minutes without wearing a sunscreen, a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 will protect you for 150 minutes (10 minutes multiplied by the SPF of 15). Although sunscreen use helps minimize sun damage, no sunscreen completely blocks all wavelengths of UV light. Wearing sun protective clothing and avoiding sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. will also help protect your skin from overexposure and minimize sun damage.

Heliocare provides both the conventional topical sunblock and a new Oral Sunblock!

Heliocare Oral Sunblock

Heliocare Oral Sunblock is a capsule that contains an extract of the plant Polypodium Leucotomos (a kind of fern) (PLE). The plant has been used for generations in South America as a folk remedy for skin conditions. Interest in PLE grew out of a desire to find substances that limited the toxicity of ultraviolet on skin. This fern extract was found to decrease the negative effects of UV and this effect would be valuable in protecting normal skin.

Polypodium Leucotomos Extract - PLE (Natural Fern)

  • Increases tolerance to the sun

STOPPING THE CLOCK


A person's age has traditionally been defined by the number of years a person has lived. This is called the chronological age. The biological age on the other hand looks at a persons age at the cellular level and how it functions. We all have come across individuals who appear and function younger or older than their stated age. Achieving longevity (long life span) is one thing but more importantly, how do we maintain a good health-span (living healthy for as long as you live till the day you die. Dr Ron Rothenberg describes this as the rectangularization of the functionality curve. This means that we should strive to stay as functional as possible for as long as possible.

The specialty of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine is one specialty that aims to achieve this through early detection, prevention and reversal of age related decline. By optimizing our dietary intake, optimal exercise regimes, nutritional supplementation and balanced hormone replacement we believe this can be achieved.

It was thought that our hormones decline because we age. However, we now know that the reverse is true....we age because our hormones decline. This is the basis of the neuro-endocrine theory of aging. With this in mind, by replacing the hormones in a balanced fashion, aging and other declines in bodily functions can be halted and potentially reversed.

The human body has 2 major control or regulatory systems namely the nervous system and the endocrine system. The hypothalamus situated in the brain is the major connection between these 2 systems which work seamlessly with one another. The endocrine system produces hormones which function as messengers to other endocrine organs and non endocrine cells. Through this hormonal symphony, our bodies are able to function the way it does. The major endocrine glands include the pituitary gland, the pineal gland, thyroid gland, the adrenal glands, the pancreas, the testes in men and ovaries in women.

Hormonal imbalances can affect people at various ages from adolescence through adulthood and old age. In adolescence, problems such as acne and premenstrual stress (PMS) are related to hormonal imbalances. Those in their 20's and 30's may suffer PMS, migraines, breast tenderness, fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, infertility, fibromyalgia and weight gain. Measures taken to balance their hormones may relieve and potentially reverse these conditions. Women who go through menopause often have sleep disorders, hot flashes, bloating and weight gain, low libido and decreased bone mass and strength which respond well to balanced hormone replacement. In men, the term andropause has been given to describe male menopause. Unlike menopause which occurs as soon as a woman stops ovulating, andropause presents more gradually with low libido, reduced energy, reduced muscle mass and increased fat. All these changes in men and women translates to more serious illnesses such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and stroke. By replacing waning hormones back to it youthful level, chronic illnesses may be prevented.

When deciding on hormone replacement therapy, it is vital to choose hormones which are identical to the ones produced by our body called Bio-identical Hormones. These bio-identical hormones derived from all natural plants such as soy and wild yam, provide a safe source of hormones for both men and women and is available in the oral or cream form for application onto the skin. Replacement of hormones should be carefully tailored and monitored by well trained physicians to ensure physiologic and balanced replacement of hormones.

We hope to add life to your years by balancing your hormones to its optimal level.
