💋 LIPS 💋

Dermal fillers for lips are a popular cosmetic procedure used to enhance lip volume, shape, and symmetry. They typically contain hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, and provide temporary results lasting around 6-12 months. It's important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional for personalized advice and to ensure safety and desired outcomes.

Women may seek dermal fillers for their lips for various reasons, including:

1. 👄 Enhancing volume: Some women desire fuller lips to achieve a more youthful or aesthetically pleasing appearance.

2. 🔄 Correcting asymmetry: Dermal fillers can help correct unevenness or asymmetry in the lips, providing a more balanced look.

3. ✏ Defining lip borders: Fillers can be used to define the lip borders, creating a more distinct and shapely lip contour.

4. ⏳ Rejuvenation: As people age, their lips can lose volume and definition. Dermal fillers can help restore lost volume and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the lips, providing a more youthful appearance.

5. 💃 Boosting confidence: Many women feel more confident and self-assured when they are happy with their appearance. Dermal fillers can help enhance lip appearance, leading to increased confidence.

Ultimately, the decision to get dermal fillers is personal and varies from individual to individual. It’s important for women to carefully consider their motivations and consult with a qualified healthcare professional to ensure that dermal fillers are the right choice for them.

HOW TO TREAT ACNE MARKS - PIH

Dr ASHRAF KAROLIA
110 Sixth Avenue Mayfair and NORWOOD JHB

We’re going to speak about post inflammatory hyperpigmentation,(PIH) or the marks when your acne is gone or whilst it’s there. So by definition PIH can occur with red marks or brown marks.

PIH is more common in skin of colour

RISK FACTORS FOR PIH

Mild to moderate acne
ACNE MARKS take a long time to fade.
50% of PIH will hang around for a while
20% of PH will last up to 5 years.

Therefore prevention is better than cure
Start treating your acne early.

2. Sun exposure

3. Inflammation due to picking your skin with acne

4. Applying high concentration of certain products such as benzoyl peroxide (BPO) greater than 5 %.

Treating Acne Marks :
1. Sunscreen - get the best physical sunscreen you can afford

2. Treat early

3. Don’t use products that irritate your skin

4. Products that block the enzyme that produces the melanin pigment in your skin

5. Exfoliate with Alpha hydroxy acids or Beta hydroxy acids

6. Visit your skincare doctor that will prescribe prescription medicine or use office based procedures

I was honoured to be invited and had been amidst 90 doctors who were predominantly dermatologists. The purpose was to disseminate information on skin care and educate the populace at large. There was a focus on a newly discovered ingredient for hyperpigmentation by La Roche Posay after 18 years of research. This product is one of the ingredients in the Niacinamide range by La Roche Posay . I will soon do a product review on Mela B3.

Introducing the enhanced Cyspera® Advanced Intensive Pigment Corrector, a potent new formula designed to tackle stubborn skin discoloration and to address hyperpigmentation concerns effectively. Developed by Scientis Pharma. Now boasting a higher concentration and innovative ingredients.

Cyspera's key ingredient is cysteamine hydrochloride, a naturally occurring compound found in the human body. Cysteamine has been extensively studied for its ability to regulate melanin production, the pigment responsible for skin color. By inhibiting melanin synthesis, cysteamine helps to fade existing pigmentation and prevent the formation of new dark spots.

What's New:

📌 Increased Cysteamine from 5% to 7%.
📌 Replaced Niacinamide with Isobionic Amide for stronger, more effective results.
📌 Added gentle AHAs to boost ingredient absorption.

Experience the Benefits:

✨️ Treats all pigmentations, including hyperpigmentation, melasma, and freckles.
✨️ Ideal for darker body areas like underarms, knees, and elbows.
✨️ Non photo-sensitive, suitable for all skin types.
✨️ Biocompatible, well tolerated, and non-toxic.
✨️ Can be used year-round.
✨️ Perfect complement to depigmenting procedures and peels.

How to Use:

🔸️ Start with once daily for 16 weeks, gradually increasing exposure time.
🔸️ Maintenance phase: Twice weekly.
🔸️ Apply to dry skin, leave on for 15 minutes, then wash off.
🔸️ Follow with moisturizer and sunscreen.

Clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Cyspera in reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation. Patients using Cyspera have reported significant improvement in the clarity and brightness of their skin, with visible reduction in dark spots and patches. Many users have also noticed a more even skin tone and improved texture.
