Injection Lipolysis for Body & Facial Contouring
What is it about?
Injection Lipolysis is an innovative procedure originally developed by Dr. Patricia Ritters from South America in the 1990>s. Injection Lipolysis or Lipodissolve, as it is commonly known is a medical technique whereby fat deposits found under the skin may be eliminated by means of localized injections of Phosphatidylcholine, a natural food supplement extracted from Soybean and Deoxycholate, a bile acid. Both of these compounds are endogenous in that they are present in the body and are mediators in the many metabolic reactions involved in fat metabolism.
Is this procedure right for you?
This treatment is ideal if u wish to remove small fat deposits on the face and body. Injection Lipolysis is also very effective in the treatment of cellulite.Body Areas that may be treated • Upper and lower belly • Hips • Love Handles • Back folds • Inner thighs • Knees • Upper arm • Lower Buttocks • Lower Face & Chin • Additional Benefits
The numbers of treatments required differ from one person to the next, depending on the body area and the body size. Generally two to four treatments are required, with intervals of six to eight weeks, to obtain successful results.
How does it work?
The active substance, phosphatidylcholine, causes the breakdown of fat cells and release of the fatty acids which are then eliminated by the body>s normal metabolism. This process takes around six to eight weeks and therefore, one should not expect any results prior to that time period. Patients usually experience swelling, redness and possible bruising after the treatment. Within a couple of days, any discomfort or pain in the treated area are usually disappears. One of the main advantages of injection lipolysis is the fact that it always yields smooth body contours unlike the high proportion of cases after traditional liposuction that result in unevenness and depressions at the site of treatment.

APOLLO for Body Contouring
• Whatisitabout?
Apollo is a radiofrequency system designed to reshape and contour any area of the body by both reducing volume and tightening the skin in a non-invasive, and virtually pain free manner. Apollo provides visible results almost immediately after the procedure because it is the only treatment of its kind to use a tripolar approach. This means that it treats tissue at two different depths using both unipolar and bipolar hand pieces. Over time and with follow-up procedures, results become even more dramatic as new collagen develops and toxins are removed. Apollo is completely safe.
• Isthisprocedurerightforyou?
Apollo is an ideal option for anyone wishing to smooth and contour any bulges or sagging on the body by non-surgical means, without incisions, stitches, anesthesia, or recovery time. The treatment can help you achieve a flatter abdomen, slimmer and tighter hips, thighs and upper arms. It can be used almost anywhere on the body and is virtually pain free.
• Howdoesitwork?
- Apollo uses the cutting-edge medical technology called Radio Frequency (RF), by combining two modes into one device. (Each mode is delivered by a discrete hand-piece which delivers volumetric RF thermotherapy at different tissue depths within the body. The system works in multiple ways.)
- Bipolar mode of radio frequency energy penetrates the skin superficially; facilitating the treatment of areas where skin in thinner and more delicate therefore tightening the area.
- Unipolar mode delivers radio frequency energy deep into the dermal and sub dermal layers to effectively treat large volumes of tissue which results in fat reduction.
- Apollo with controlled and targeted heat therapy also helps to reorganize and stimulate the cellular environment of the body to release toxins and produce new collagen. Increase in blood circulation and shrinkage of connective tissue dramatically improves the appearance of cellulite.

Lasers and Energy Based Systems for Skin Refining
What is it all about?
Lasers and Energy based equipment is now the cornerstone of skin refining procedures. At Dr. Hessa Al-Buainain Center we have the most comprehensive and advanced laser devices to treat all aesthetic conditions. These include Intense Pulsed Light, Fractional Resurfacing Lasers, Radiofrequency and Near Infra Red Technology.
Is this treatment right for you?
The daily exposure of our skin to the sun, smoke and other pollutants results in uneven and blotchy pigmentation, redness, brown, brown spots and unsightly veins. Moreover, with time, the skin sags due to loss of elasticity, pores appear larger and wrinkles develop.
Different devices are available at Dr. Hessa Al-Buainain Center to treat the following:
Acne Stretch Marks
Leg Veins Spider vein
Redness and Flushing Tattoo Removal
Pigmented spots Wrinkles
Acne Scars Hair Removal
Skin Tightening
How does it work?
Depending upon the assessment of your skin, a treatment protocol requiring one or several of the lasers and energy based systems may be proposed. Typically, the majority of these treatments provide noticeable results in as little as a single treatment. The Fractional Resurfacing lasers may literally lift years off your face. There is no down-time-or discomfort associated with the majority of these treatments.
Additional Benefits
Regular laser and energy based therapies are highly effective in restoring a smooth and radiant complexion as well as decreasing pore size, minimizing wrinkles and tightening skin. A regular regimen of treatments delays skin ageing since skin cells are stimulated to produce more collagen.

Permanent Hair Reduction
• Whatisitabout?Permanent hair reduction may be achieved by a variety of light-based systems including lasers, and intense-pulsed light. Unwanted hair can be removed anywhere on the body such as the legs, armpits, upper chin and bikini line. With each consecutive treatment the hairs ultimately become fewer in number and finer in appearance.
• Howdoesitwork?The primary principle behind laser hair removal is selective photothermolysis. Lasers can cause localized damage by selectively heating melanin (dark pigment) in the root of the hair (the follicle), while not heating the rest of the skin. All hair goes through a cycle including a growth phase, resting stage and shedding phase. The highest concentration of melanin is present in the follicle during growth and consequently only hair that is in this phase will be weakened by lasers and other light-based systems. At any one time only 20% of body hairs are in the growth phase, hence the requirement for multiple treatment sessions.
• Isthisprocedurerightforyou?At Dr. Hessa Al-Buainain Center, we have a choice of different lasers and light-based devices for permanent hair reduction. These include the Alexandrite Laser, ND: YAG laser, Advanced Intense Pulsed Light system, and IPL.
The laser that is appropriate for your ski type is selected and typically a minimum of four sessions is required. In between sessions, hair will re-grow.
Following a full course of treatment, the «hair free» period will differ from one individual to another and can vary from several months to several years. With multiple treatments, long-term hair removal is possible, but hair re-growth is also possible and repeat treatments may be necessary. Studies have shown that hair removal system can reduce hair count by 40 to 80 percent. Results vary from one person to another, with some individuals responding better than others.
Many patients find that maintenance session done once or twice a year are ideal for keeping unwanted hair at bay after completing the initial treatment protocol.
In a minority of patients hair loss may only be temporary and complete re-growth may occur.

Effective & Trusted ResultsClearScan ALX’s 755 nm wavelength is well established as being efficacious for hair reduction. The wavelength is a favorite amongst practitioners and now, with Sciton’s comfort technology, it will be a favorite with patients. ClearScan ALX offers an excellent wavelength for permanent hair reduction, as well as the ability to treat benign pigmented lesions, vascular lesions, and wrinkles.
The ultra-high speed, non-sequential scanner also ensures 100% coverage, avoiding the combination of overlap and missed areas common with single spot handpieces.
Top Hat Beam AdvantageTop Hat and Gaussian beam profiles have the same energy and each delivers the same average fluence. The Gaussian appears larger but has very low fluence in its wings and excessive fluence concentrated in the center. Its effective diameter is only about 2/3 of the Top Hat mode. Top Hat beam profiles provide a more uniform fluence distribution than do Gaussian beam profiles.
The new era in Alexandrite laser hair removal
ClearScan ALX is the beginning of a new era in hair removal. It is fast and it is a technological advancement in making laser hair removal more comfortable.
Finally, comfortable hair removal that works!

Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing InformationFractional laser skin resurfacing (ablative and non-ablative)
What are Ablative and Non-Ablative Lasers and how do they work?
Ablative Lasers So - called “ablative” or skin resurfacing lasers briefly direct an intense burst of laser energy onto the surface of the skin. This energy heats water within the surface layers of the skin, causing both the water and the tissue of the skin to turn to vapour. Every time the laser passes over the skin, some of the outermost layers of the skin are removed in a precise and controlled way to the appropriate depth.The skin then heals over a period of time, as new layers of collagen are produced. The skin can literally resurface itself, causing an improvement in the appearance of sun damaged or acne scarred skin. After the treatment, the skin will look much healthier than it did previously.This intensive treatment can significantly reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and pigment (or skin colour) changes on the face, neck, and other parts of the body. They can be used in sensitive areas, such as lines around the lips, eyes and even eyelids, or over the whole of the face. Acne and other types of scars and certain stretch marks can also be improved.There are two main types of ablative laser - the original machines used were carbon dioxide lasers, and more recently erbium:YAG laser systems have been introduced.
Non - Ablative Lasers The so called non-ablative lasers have been a more recent introduction in types of aesthetic equipment for skin resurfacing.These lasers have lower energy levels than ablative lasers (which resurface or remove the outer layer of skin completely), and try to cause damage within the dermal layer of the skin without removal of the outer epidermal layers. That is to say that the laser treats the layers of skin under the surface without damaging the surface too much. This lessens the recovery period after the treatment and reduces the number of complications that can occur.It is thought that the laser’s heat in the dermal layers causes collagen to be produced which helps reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. However, the results from this type of procedure are less obvious than those which can be achieved with ablative laser skin resurfacing during which the surface of the skin is removed.
Fractional Laser Devices Used in Dr. Hessa CenterAffirm™ from Cynosure – This is a 1440nm non-ablative laser with Cynosure’s proprietary Combined Apex PulseSM (CAP) technology. This is a special lens mounted over the end of the laser that consists of approximately 1,000 diffractive elements per cm2 which put simply ‘bends’ the wavelength of light emitted from the laser so as to affect more surface area per single pulse of the laser. The Affirm™ targets the superficial layers of sun damaged skin, and delivers both a high and low energy of light within the treatment zone, due to the lens configuration, which they claim enhances collagen remodelling whilst also stimulating collagen production.
19
Profractional from Sciton The Most Complete Resurfacing Product LineSome lasers deliver their energy over the entire surface area of a treatment site (which may be optimal for certain types of conditions). Other lasers deliver “fractional” energy to just a portion of the skin (which may be optimal for a different set of conditions). With a Sciton JOULETM, you can have it all.
Deep Resurfacing – A more aggressive procedure that literally erases wrinkles, pigmented lesions and other skin irregularities in the epidermis and dermis
MicroLaserPeel ® – A minimal downtime light resurfacing treatment limited to the epidermis that evens out skin tone, texture & color, and restores ahealthy-looking, youthful glow to the skin
ProFractional TherapyTM – A minimal downtime treatment that creates micro-ablated channels deep into dermal tissue (to treat a variety of pathologies and stimulate new collagen growth), surrounded by islands of untreated skin (to promote rapid healing)
TRL (Tunable Resurfacing Laser) TechnologyThe world’s most sophisticated resurfacing technology enables:
• Independent control over ablation and thermal effects• “Turn off the heat” and deliver pure ablation• Very deep treatments with minimal risk of complications• Extremely precise ablation depth control
Emulation of other resurfacing TRL technology allows you to customize thermal effects
• Use no coagulation to emulate Er:YAG• Add a little coagulation to emulate Er :YSGG• Add a lot of coagulation to emulate CO2• Individualize treatments for each patient’s needs
Superior water absorptionSciton’s Er:YAG wavelength at 2940 nm dominates the water absorptionspectrum. It is absorbed by water 2.7 times stronger than Er:YSGG and14.6 times stronger than CO2. Science cannot be denied. 2940 nm is thesuperior wavelength for maximum control in dermal resurfacing.
SafetyResearch has shown that the side effects common with CO2 lasers (hypopigmentation and prolonged erythema) are caused by thermally-induced inflammation and tissue necrosis. This will always be a concern for CO2 resurfacing technology because there is no way to separate the heat from the ablation.Sciton resurfacing lasers are different. They are able to ablate with virtually no heat deposition because

Sciton-Skintyte TM
SkinTyte utilizes infrared energy to deeply heat dermal collagen while protecting the entire treated area with sapphire contact cooling. The uniform heating effectively targets the desired area and immediately stimulates collagen contraction and remodeling.
This process initiates the body’s natural healing process and a new foundation of collagen is created, resulting in a firmer, more youthful skin appearance. The full effect of skin firming treatments can be seen over several subsequent months.
Sciton-BBL TM
With a single versatile handpiece and interchangeable filters, BBL is a comprehensive phototherapy system for permanent hair reduction and to treat acne, pigmented and vascular lesions, and more.

BOTOX for Refining Contouring
• Whatisitabout?Facial lines are caused by the repeated use of facial muscles in a particular manner. Expressions such us squinting, frowning and smiling, caused by movement of the muscles under the skin, tend to create wrinkle and folds in the skin. The use of Botulinium toxin Type A (Botox) for the reduction of facial lines, is the most popular cosmetic treatment world-wide. Botox has been used in medicine for other indications for many years. Even very young children are treated for squints and nervous ticks with Botox injections. The substance cannot cause any permanent damage or travel within the body since it attaches itself to the target muscle and cannot migrate from there.
• Isthisprocedurerightforyou?Even though Botox does not eliminate static wrinkles, where the skin has already been damaged (such wrinkles should be treated by other means including facial peels and filler injections), Botox is highly effective in eliminating:
• horizontal and vertical foreheads lines• crow>s feet around the eyes• Turkey neck due to contracted platymal bands• Popply chin
• Howdoesitwork?Botox temporarily blocks nervous transmission to the target muscles, namely the mimic muscles. This leads to a temporary relaxation of these muscles, and hence the reduction in the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, which are those that arise from facial expression. The treatment takes 10 minutes and it takes anywhere between 2 to 14 days to see the full effects. The benefits can last up to 4 months and results may vary.
A safe and effective procedure, Botox by Allergen is FDA approved for cosmetic corrections and most people find the injections cause only mild discomfort with rare side effects. At time bruising and mild swelling can occur that last up to ten days. However, other rare adverse effects such us drooping of the brow and the eyelids are fully reversible and only last a few weeks.

FILLERS for Facial Contouring
• Whatisitallabout?Various dermal fillers used to fill out wrinkles and hollow in the face and enhance facial beauty and symmetry.
• Isthisprocedurerightforyou?Fillers are used for a procedure known as <soft tissue augmentation>, that is an effective means of re-contouring the face. In a young face, the technique may be used to enhance cheek bone, increasing chin definition and filling in acne scars. In an older face, soft tissue augmentation replaces the need for a surgical facelift in the vast majority of cases, since it can replace volume loss and restore youthful facial contours.
• Howdoesitwork?Soft tissue augmentation involves the artistic and strategic injection of filler substances to eliminate shadows and hollows and restore the shape of the face to that which it was in youth as well as to augment facial features. The technique is relatively straightforward, but as harmless as it sounds, the patient must be made aware of the many different filler substances and the side effects and advantages of each.
Temporary fillersThe most commonly used temporary filler is Hyaluronic acid, which is a natural component of the skin. Marketed under several trade names including; Restylane>, <Perlane> and <Juvederm> Hyaluronic acid is safe since it is natural, degrades and is eliminated and therefore the cosmetic correction lasts only four to six months. Hyaluronic acid does not regenerate this skin but merely acts as a bulking agent. At Dr. Hessa Al-Buainain Center Hyaluronic acid fillers are used for temporary face and lip augmentation.
Permanent fillersThis category includes products such as Silicone, Polyacrylamide gel (trade names: <Aquamid>, <Outline>) and Polymethylmethacrylate (trade names: <Artecoll>, <Dermalive>). These products are synthetic gels that are not biodegradable and cannot be removed from the body in the event of any undesirable reaction, or even where the cosmetics results are unsatisfactory. Permanent fillers ultimately yield unnatural wax-like appearance to the face. In addition, they have been found to cause lumps and inflammation, known as <granuloma>. In many cases this potentially serious and disfiguring condition cannot be treated effectively and can occur many years after the time of injection.Permanent fillers are not used at Dr. Hessa Al-Buainain Center.

Chemical Peeling
What is it about?There are two types of skin peels –Superficial and Medium-depth Peels. Both are very safe and effective in achieving a uniform exfoliation of the surface and lower layers of epidermis. Regular peels give your skin a healthy glow and slow down skin aging.
Superficial Peels: Advanced Rejuvenation Peels that are performed with a succession of exfoliating agents, such as Glycolic acid, Lactic acid, Salicycle acid, Mandelic acid and Trichloro acetic acid. These are simple treatments, requiring no down time. The skin is refreshed immediately after the session and mild flakes of dead skin are exfoliatedthree to four days.High Concentrations of Trichloroacetic Acid used to achieve a chemical eye lift, rejuvenation of the back of the hands, treatment of acne and acne scars on the back and décolleté.
Is this procedure is right for you?The outermost layer of the skin, the <epidermis>, is directly responsible for the appearance and suppleness of the skin. Hence an increase in the rate of renewal of the epidermal layer of skin with regular peels is an effective treatment for:
Slack ageing skin Fine lines and wrinklesSun Damage Age spotsUneven skin tone Active AcneAcne scars Wrinkles on the back of the hands
How does it work?Skin peels are highly effective in giving the skin an immediate glow that spells health and vitality. Peels are often used to treat sun damage on the face, hands and larger body areas such as the arms, back and legs. Peels remove the outer layers of the skin, a process which acts as a natural stimulus to produce new skin cells with more collagen and elastin, resulting in a significant refining effect. In addition, peels render the skin more permeable to the active ingredients in derma cosmeceutical skin care products resulting in more effective absorption of anti-aging compounds such as anti-oxidants and peptides.
What should you expect?For the first three days your skin will become very dry and at the end of the third day, it will begin to peel. Some dark blotches may occur and the skin may look more wrinkled. This is due to dryness caused by the peeling agents.

HydraFacial
• WhyisHydraFacialgoodformyskin?Hydration is the foundation of healthy, radiant skin. Irritation of the skin has been proven to increase the signs of aging. The HydraFacial is a hydrating and non-irritating treatment.
Am I candidate for the HydraFacial Treatment?The HydraFacial Treatment is designed for all the skin types. Even the most sensitive skin easily tolerates the HydraFacial treatment. Your skincare professional may custom-blend the treatment serums for your unique skin conditions. Consult your physician or skincare professional for a skin evaluation and sensitivity test.
• Howlongdoesthetreatmenttake?Is there any downtime pain?The HydraFacial treatment is a fast, efficient treatment that takes as little as 15 minutes. There is no discomfort during the procedure –it is often described as feeling like a «cool paintbrush moving slowly over the face». You may put on make-up and return to your normal activities right after the treatment since there is no downtime.
• Whatresultsmaybeexpected?How many HydraFacial treatments are needed to see results?How long do the results last?
Many people report seeing visible skin refinement and an even, radiant skin tone after just one treatment. The smooth results and hydration may last for five to seven days or even longer. A series of six treatments, one treatment each week, recommended for improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, hyper pigmentation, and oily/acne-prone skin. After your first series of treatments, you may want to maintain your results with a HydraFacial treatment every two to four week.

Mesotherapy for Skin Refining
• Whatisitabout?Pioneered in the 1950s by French physician Dr. Michel Pistor, Mesotheraphy is the painless micro-injections of vitamins, minerals and amino acids placed just under the surface of the skin. Effective for various applications, Mesotherapy tackles cellulite reduction, face and neck rejuvenation and the treatment of hair loss effectively.
• Isthisprocedurerightforyou?• FaceandNeckRejunevationAgeing, sagging and wrinkling of skin occurs from the loss of skin elasticity and excessive free radical damage. Different mesotherapy cocktails with antioxidants, amino acids, nucleic acids and minerals are used to stimulate the regeneration of skin and enhance the production of collagen and elastin. The result is a natural rejunevation of the face, eyelids and neck.
• CulliteReductionCellulite affects majority of women over the age of 20. Caused by poor circulation, and weakening of connective tissues, lymphatic congestion and hormonal imbalances, Cellulite is classified into four stages, based upon its appearance while standing, laying and pinching the skin. Mesotherapy treatment is targeted to correct these problems by improving circulation, strengthening connective tissues and dissolving excess fat.
• HairLossTreatment<Alopecia>, or hair loss, affects both men and women. Resulting from poor circulation, nutritional imbalances and excess of a hormone known as Dihydrotestosteron (DHT), Mesotherapy can correct these problems, stimulating the body to naturally grow lost hair.
The recommended treatment program consists of weekly sessions for eight weeks, followed by Tow fortnightly treatments and thereafter monthly sessions for maintenance.
