Tattoo removal is very popular nowadays with the increased amount of body tattooing people are having done, removal is very quick and effective, depending on the colour and strength of the pigment a course of this is usually recommended.

Traditional laser resurfacing involves using a high powered laser light to remove the top layer of skin. At Elanic we use the C02RE fractional laser from US laser company Syneron-Candela. This state of the art device punches thousands of microscopic holes in the skin, resulting in deep collagen formation and marked skin tightening. This device gives better results but with a much quicker recovery time than old style lasers.Laser resurfacing can be used for a number of conditions, including: Tightening the skin to improve wrinkles and acne scarring Giving a more even skin tone and improving dark areas Smoothing rough skin Smoothing out scars Reverse skin sun damage Removing moles Either the whole face or specific areas can be treated

Fillers are materials which are in injected either into the skin or just below the skin to plump up lines and wrinkles on the face. They can also be used for plumping up lips and correcting nasal deformities. They can also be used to re-volumise the face and replace the youthful volume which is lost with age. This often also has a lifting effect on the jowls and leads to a slight improvement in facial descent – the so-called liquid facelift.Common areas for treatment with dermal fillers include; lips, cheeks, tear troughs (near the eyes), chin, nose, brows, nasolabial folds, mouth corners.As we age the expression lines on our skin, which are a result of the muscles which move our face, change from being temporary dynamic lines to becoming permanent static lines (wrinkles). Regularly using muscle relaxing injections can slow or stop this progression but if it has already taken place then dermal filler will most probably be needed in addition to muscle relaxing injections to give the best improvement. The filler is injected into the wrinkle to help plump up the skin. When used for the lips or volumising it is injected deeper into the skin. The filler tend to last between 9-12 months and some will last much longer.Recently there has been a great deal of media attention on serious disfiguring complications resulting from permanent fillers. At Elanic, we believe the use of permanent fillers is unnecessary and dangerous and we only use temporary fillers, the majority of which can be removed using a simple injection. For permanent results we prefer to use a client’s own fat, removed, processed and re-injected to give the ultimate in natural long lasting results.
