Femina Health AESTHETIC MEDICINE

At Femina Health we believe that beauty and youth are a product of a balance between the physical, medical and emotional. It is not just skin deep. It is imperative to ensure that the internal hormones, heart, metabolic conditions and psyche and all the other components that accelerate aging are controlled before you start the ANTI-AGING PROCESS.

AGING is a condition that is hard to escape, especially in the South African sun. The dehydrating influences of the environment, time, genetics and declining hormones all add to the effects of aging. Most women only become aware of the visible effects of aging in their late 30s and early 40s. The truth is, that much can be done as early as the 20s if indicated, to delay winkling and aging. The most important factor is to be assessed by experts and advised early with regard to timeous prevention. This leads to radically delayed aging and strategic youth.

Let us look at the various anti-aging options available:

BOTOX is the cornerstone of anti-aging therapy. It is entirely safe and not only smooths the wrinkles away but also after a few applications teaches your muscles not to contract and therefore not to crease the face. It is used mainly to smooth the crows feet wrinkles from around the eyes and the frown lines from the forehead. Both of these tend to add to the tired appearance of ones face.

FILLERS consist of Hyaluronic acid. This is the natural constituent of the matrix between the cells of the skin. As we get older we lose the fat of youth that fills the natural contour of our cheeks and faces. With the loss of fat, the face sags leaving hollows and wrinkles. Fillers replace the fat pads and absorb water filling the facial planes from below to their youthful form. Without surgery. Without pain. This is truly LIVING ART.

PHOTO-REJUVENATION This is a technique that includes a number of light therapies. It is difficult to standardize any particular therapy as every patient has her therapy tailored for her.

These modalities include:

PHOTO-DYNAMIC THERAPY This is a light therapy that uses UV light. It is particularly good in the treatment of actinic Keratosis, also known as sun spots, which are pre- cancerous.

MEDICAL LASER Laser uses light of varying wavelengths to target a number of substrates. This way lasers may be used for a wide variety of applications. Most commonly they are used for:
