Laser Hair Removal

Proven results. Fast Treatment Times.

Say goodbye to unwanted hair with our Laser Hair Removal treatments. Laser Hair Removal has been a welcome alternative to traditional hair removal methods such as shaving and waxing. Laser hair removal is not only faster, more convenient, but provides a permanent solution. Spending your money on regular expensive wax treatments, shaving creams, razors or other methods of hair removal will no longer be necessary after beginning your laser hair removal journey. Despite the upfront cost, you will end up saving more by not spending for alternative, frequent procedures. Not only would you be saving money but also time. 

There are many clinics that advertise laser treatments, however at least 50% of these are not offering laser at all. These clinics have the less sophisticated IPL or Intense Pulse Light systems that have been seen to be less effective than laser in a vast range of treatments. At Remedies we use the latest Gentle Hair Removal technology by Candela proven to give 80% permanent hair reduction after as little as 3 treatments. 

Gentle Hair Removal is a laser treatment targeting the hair follicles with intense laser light energy for thermal destruction but without damaging the surrounding tissue.  The Gentle Hair Removal laser targets the hair follicle with intense laser light energy for thermal destruction to provide permanent hair reduction over the course of a few treatments. With fast treatment times, Gentle Hair Removal ensures additional comfort through its patented Dynamic Cooling Device™, which uses cooling bursts of cryogen over the treatment area.

At Remedies, we always start with a consultation and test patch with our internationally trained laser specialist to assess your skin, hair type and suitability for this treatment. During the consultation the laser therapist will also guide you toward the best treatment plan tailored to suit your needs. At Remedies we pride ourselves on offering fast treatment times and excellent results at very competitive prices.

FAQs

Treatments take place in your practitioner’s office. Your practitioner will use a small handpiece to deliver an intense but gentle burst of energy onto targeted areas of the skin. Therapeutic heat removes unwanted hair. What makes be a suitable candidate for Laser Hair Removal? Ideally there is a high contrast between skin colour and hair colour. In cases where the hair is very light, or the skin very dark, results might be compromised somewhat.
A treatment can take as little as a few minutes to as long as an hour, depending on the treatment area and the condition being treated. Both legs can often be treated in as few as 15 minutes, as can an average-sized man’s back.
Some patients may feel slight discomfort, which has been compared to snapping a rubber band against the skin. This discomfort resolves quickly and is minimized by our patented Dynamic Cooling Device. Be sure and talk this over with your practitioner.
Multiple treatments are required to achieve the full hair removal effect. The hairs on your body are not always at the same stage, so you’ll need to undergo a few treatments, an average of six to eight weeks apart, to catch them all in the growth stage.
For about six weeks prior to treatment, you should avoid plucking, electrolysis or waxing. On the day of your treatment, skin should be clean-shaven and thoroughly cleansed of any makeup, creams, oils, topical anaesthetics or self-tanning products. Apply sunblock (SPF 30 or above) before your treatment. Do not expose the treatment area to sunlight or tanning booth light prior to or immediately after treatment. If you have a history of herpes simplex virus, a prophylactic antiviral therapy may be prescribed.
A cool compress or gel pack may be applied for additional comfort after your treatment. Any redness or swelling should resolve in a few hours.
After your laser treatment, prevent sun exposure by applying sunblock (SPF 30 or above). In the first few days after treatment, don’t scrub or rinse the treated areas with abrasive skin cleansers. Your practitioner may advise additional precautions.
Permanent side effects are rare and may include redness, swelling, hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, blistering and purpura (laser bruise) in the treated area—these usually do not last more than a few days. Your practitioner will have more information about potential side effects.

FAQs

Melanin, which is the pigment which gives skin its colour, is produced by cells in the skin called melanocytes. There are typically between 1000 and 2000 melanocytes per square millimetre of skin. Skin colour difference between fair and dark people is not due to the number of melanocytes in their skin, but due to the melanocytes’ activity. Excessive skin pigmentation is a result of abnormal production and deposition of melanin by the melanocytes. This leads to the appearance of brown or darker spots of pigmentation in the skin. Causes for pigmentation issues include: – UV radiation – in most cases, especially in areas of high UV radiation levels like Malta, skin pigmentation problems can be caused by excessive UV or sun exposure (most common). – Hormonal – as seen in melasma or chloasma that is a type of pigmentation usually caused by pregnancy or the contraceptive pill (common). – Trauma to the skin – this can be a result of physical trauma to the skin, or acne. This is known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (common).
Our state-of-the-art Alexandrite lasers can be used for the treatment of skin pigmentation and have minimal or no impact on normal skin. This is possible due to the process of selective photothermolysis. This is a term that describes how a particular laser wavelength is attracted to pigmented lesions, and only minimally to the normal skin to allow selective removal of a lesion. This allows the laser to selectively disrupt the pigment with minimal or no damage to surrounding skin.
The first method of treating skin pigmentation is to prevent its appearance or worsening by daily application of sunscreen. At Remedies we also offer a range of chemical peels as well as platelet rich plasma (PRP) to tackle pigmentation issues.

Laser Treatment for Veins & Other Vascular Lesions

Say goodbye to unsightly veins

Using the latest laser technology Remedies can remove thread veins leaving the skin without these blemishes.

Unsightly veins (telangiectasias, also known as spider or thread veins) are small purple to red blood vessels that can develop anywhere in the body, but most seen on the face around the nose, cheeks, and chin. They are also often visible on the leg, mainly on the upper thigh, ankle, or feet, as well as on the back & neck. Spider veins are a common problem among many people and mostly women. Risk factors for developing spider veins include pregnancy, old age and being overweight but they can also occur for no reason at all.

At Remedies we can take care of your unsightly veins, whether on the face or legs, with laser vein therapy. Our latest technology laser equipment along with our highly experienced and internationally qualified doctors will certainly give you the best results. 

During the consultation, our aesthetic doctor will assess your suitability for the treatment, discuss your goals and treatment outcome, to come up with an appropriate treatment plan.

Equipment: Candela Laser

Areas: Legs, ankles, feet, face, and hands

FAQs

The 1064nm Nd:YAG Candela laser is used in this circumstance to reduce the presence of small spider leg and deeper facial veins. The 1064nm wavelength penetrates through the skin and the energy from this laser is absorbed by the pigment of the blood in the leg/facial veins and closes it down.
Only spider leg veins and not varicose veins are treatable with laser.
It generally takes 1 to 3 treatments spaced at two monthly intervals to improve the appearance of leg/facial veins. Some of these veins disappear immediately during treatment, while some will be partially disrupted and take a few weeks to reduce.

PRP

Platelet-Rich Plasma or PRP is a cutting-edge regenerative treatment giving lasting and natural results. PRP treatment uses your own blood cells to drastically improve the appearance of your skin. This procedure is relatively painless, and results are evident as early as three days after treatment. This procedure became increasingly popular following celebrity Kim Kardashian’s ‘Vampire Facelift’ procedure. PRP has become a common skin rejuvenation and anti-aging treatment that reduces wrinkles, sagging and dark circles, while healing skin damaged by acne, injuries and stretch marks. The PRP also attracts water, giving an improved look to wrinkles, and giving more volume to the face.

PRP (or platelet rich plasma) is a medical procedure that involves withdrawal of a small blood sample. The small blood sample taken from the client is then subsequently separated by means of a centrifuge, achieving a golden yellow liquid that is full of platelets, plasma and growth factors which are involved in tissue regeneration, as well as vitamins and minerals. When PRP is injected into your skin, the injected growth factors and platelets will ignite the process of regeneration within the deep facial lines, wrinkles and improve the texture of your skin.

Since the aim of PRP is to fix any skin issues, when injected in areas with hyper-pigmentation it will help to reduce the problem. It is also useful for the removal of stretch marks and cellulite.

It is the treatment of choice for bags of sagging skin and discolouration under the eyes, as well as the neck, the breast area, and the hands, where traditional hyaluronic acid fillers are not technically feasible, with a high degree of success and client satisfaction.

PRP is a treatment that is performed up to eight consecutive sessions, with each session four weeks apart. There is no downtime after each session as there are no outward signs of any procedure having been performed, with no bruising or sutures.

Performed by: Aesthetic Doctor

Area: Face, Area around the eyes, Neck, Hands

Treatment Plan: Up to 8 sessions, 4 weeks apart; Effects lasting up to 18 months

Price:  250 euro per individual session, package of 4 sessions at 800 euro

FAQs

The client is assessed for suitability for the procedure by the aesthetic doctor. A small blood sample is taken painlessly by the doctor, the blood is concentrated in a specific machine (centrifuge), and the concentrated cells and growth factors are used on the areas chosen for the treatment.
PRP is mainly used to drastically rejuvenate the skin and make it look younger, fresher, without wrinkles and to tackle hyper-pigmentation, without using substances foreign to the body. It is mainly used for the face but can also be used on the neck and hands. It also has a role in hair regrowth, based on evidence-based medicine, as well as in the management of stretch marks and cellulite. It is particularly useful for bags under the eyes, the neck, and the hands, where traditional fillers cannot be used.
It takes about 45 minutes each session to put local anaesthetic cream, take blood sample, centrifuge it and inject it in the area targeted for treatment.
Minimal discomfort from the injection, warmth and redness which pass within 24 hours. No allergic reaction can happen as it uses the client’s own cells, with no risk of problems or allergies arising.
No pain is experienced except for minimal discomfort from the injection needle used. The doctor is trained to make the PRP procedure as painless as possible.
Results occur within 4 weeks from the first procedure. The more PRP sessions are performed, the better the result, and the result keeps increasing with more PRP sessions performed (cumulative & additive effect).
2-4 sessions are the minimum necessary to achieve a satisfactory result. For hair regrowth and for more complex skin issues, up to 8 sessions may be performed. Sessions are 4 weeks apart. You will have a follow-up visit after each session to be reviewed by the medical team performing the procedure. The effects of PRP are not permanent but effects can last up to 18 months in an average with a maximum of 2 years as the longest reported effect. However, most may resort to a re-touch of the treatment once a year.

Jett Plasma

Jett Plasma is state-of-the-art technology that’s used for skin tightening and non-surgical skin lifting. It is used for non-surgical eyelifts, eye bags, tightening skin on the neck and around the mouth, hand rejuvenation as well as mole, skin tag and wart removal.

Unlike many of the other plasma devices on the market, the Jett Plasma pen uses a direct current (DC) rather than an alternating current (AC) which allows it ‘scan’ the skin as well as dot. This means it is more versatile, can be used over larger areas without creating as much damage and the downtime can be less than that of other plasma devices.

Performed by: Aesthetic Doctor

Area: Around the eyes, neck, hand

Treatment Plan: Single Treatment lasts 12 months

FAQs

The Jett Plasma treatment uses ‘plasma’ – the fourth state of matter after solid, liquid and gas. It is an ionized gas that becomes highly charged and acts almost like a little lightning bolt that effectively vapourises or ‘sublimates’ the excess skin leaving a fine crusting that disappears after a week or so. The removal of the excess tissue and the heat generated effectively tightens the skin and boost collagen production. Jett is a low-temperature plasma device which means it can be used on the person’s face and body. Because the current is continuously in one direction it has an advantage over the alternative current versions in terms of control and the size and depth of the area is meets. This means the treatment is more precise and the downtime may be shorter.
Jett Plasma offers a non-surgical alternative to many skin conditions that previously only surgery could achieve. The procedure can be used for: Non-surgical eyelid lifting (non-surgical blepharoplasty) Removal of creases or wrinkles around the mouth (smokers’ lines) and eyes (crow’s feet) Removal of skin tags, fibromas, and warts Improving acne scarring Reducing pigment spots Reducing stretch marks and loose skin Skin lifting and tightening on face, neck and body including brows lifts and crow’s feet Hand rejuvenation. In addition to removing excess skin to give a lifted effect it also promotes collagen production for a long-term skin rejuvenation benefit. It does not require a general anaesthetic and many procedures can be done in less than an hour, with results that can last up to five years.
A local anaesthetic is usually given, this may be an injection or a via numbing cream, depending on the area being treated. For example, mole removal will need an anaesthetic injection while the non-surgical eyelift will usually be done with numbing cream. When the plasma connects with the skin there may be a sensation of heat. Depending on your pain threshold this may be mild discomfort which subsides as soon as the procedure is over. The eye area and the area around the mouth can be quite sensitive and may be more painful.
Side effects include inflammation and flushing of the treated area which may last for two up to three days. Around the eye area it may last longer – up to ten days and there may be swelling that may last a few days. Sleeping with some extra pillows to keep the head elevated can help. There will also be crusting or small dot like scabs on the skin which will last for a week to ten days. It is important not to pick or scratch the area and allow the crusts to disappear without interference. If it is a mole that has been treated an area equivalent to the size of the mole will crust. The scab will drop of within 1-2 weeks. Do not put any makeup on for at least 24 hours after the treatment.

Dermal Fillers

As we age, the skin on our faces begins to sag and develop wrinkles. This is because the skin loses elastin, collagen, fat, and most importantly hyaluronic acid. How quickly your wrinkles develop, and how pronounced they become, is partly due to genetics and partly due to environmental factors, e.g., sun exposure and lifestyle. For centuries women have sought methods of combatting the ageing process and reducing facial lines to keep the skin as smooth as possible, and now the treatments available are some of the most effective ever.

Dermal fillers can be very helpful in those with early signs of ageing, or as a value-added part of facial rejuvenation treatments in conjunction with Botox® and PRP.

Dermal fillers are injectable anti-ageing agents, which are used to diminish and fill facial lines and wrinkles, as well as restore volume and fullness to the face. Dermal fillers can be used to:

  • Plump thin lips or enhance already full lips
  • Enhance shallow contours
  • Soften facial creases and wrinkles
  • Improve the appearance of recessed scars

Performed by: Aesthetic Doctor

Area: Areas around the eyes, nose and mouth, Lips

Treatment Plan: Single Treatment lasts 12 months

FAQs

At Remedies Clinic, we use state of the art fillers including Juvederm®, Belotero®, Teoxane® and Restylane®. This treatment is a particularly effective treatment because it acts directly as a substitute for the body’s own hyaluronic acid. It is designed to work with the layers of skin, rather than on them, and as such it produces dramatically improved results in the skin quality. This treatment adds volume specifically wherever it is needed, and it is also one of the most effective non-surgical cosmetic enhancements available on the market. Which areas can be treated? The hyaluronic acid works by smoothing away folds and wrinkles most effectively around the nose and mouth area, which is where most of these signs of ageing are more prominent. It also reduces and softens facial lines across the forehead and around the eye, leading to a rejuvenated look.
The process itself is a simple one. Treatment areas are identified, and then fine needles are used to administer small quantities of hyaluronic acid under the skin. It acts virtually immediately to create a lift in that area, which reduces or eliminates any lines or folds, depending on the severity of them and the results last for up to 12 months.

Botox

Wrinkles are an inevitable part of the natural ageing process. As we get older our skin gets thinner, drier and less elastic. Eventually, wrinkles, creases and lines form on our skin resulting in a tired and dull appearance. 

Cosmetic Botox® is an established and effective rejuvenating treatment to reduce the appearance of these lines and wrinkles in both men and women. Botox® is an injectable drug used for subduing the action of muscles; as a result, it softens and reduces the appearance of wrinkles on the face resulting in a younger and fresher look. 

Performed by: Aesthetic Doctor

Area: Around the eyes and forehead

Treatment Plan: Single session lasting 4- 6 months

Botox® for Excessive Sweating 

Hyperhidrosis is a condition that is characterised by abnormally excessive sweating or perspiration that is not related to heat or exercise. It is classified as either primary or secondary hyperhidrosis. Primary hyperhidrosis is not due to any underlying reason and can result in excessive sweating in the underarms (axilla), palms and feet. There is usually an associated family history. Besides disrupting normal daily activities, this type of heavy sweating can cause social anxiety and embarrassment.

Botox® is the most effective treatment for hyperhidrosis. This treatment is particularly done on the armpits (axillae) and on the palms of hands and soles of feet. At Remedies, injectable treatments are carried out by an experienced aesthetic doctor specially trained to give you the best possible results.

Performed by: Aesthetic Doctor

Area: Armpits, palms of hands, soles of feet.

Treatment Plan: Single Treatment lasts 6-7 months 

Price: 

  • One area (e.g. armpits) 400 euro
  • Two areas (armpits, soles and/or palms) 750 euro
  • Three areas (armpits, soles and palms) 1000 euro

FAQs

Cosmetic Botox® is used to treat the areas around the eyes and forehead, most commonly, frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet wrinkles. During the consultation with our aesthetic doctor a facial analysis will determine which areas require treatment with Botox® and how much is needed for the best results.
Botulinum Toxin Type A (Botox®) injections relax the muscles causing the compression of the skin. Botulinum Toxin Type A is composed of a natural, purified protein, and it is most injected in the muscles between the eyebrows, the forehead and around the eyes. By stopping the muscle movement that cause wrinkles, Botox® injections can also prevent static lines from becoming deeper by stopping the compression of skin.
If static lines or lines at rest are already present, then Botox® injections generally do not reverse these and platelet rich plasma (PRP) will be needed. However, the application of Botox® injections at regular intervals gives the skin a rest from compression, and often static wrinkles may improve slightly over time. Botox® can be used in conjunction with PRP to help treat both static and dynamic wrinkles taking a holistic approach to facial rejuvenation.
Treatment with Botox® injections involves having a number of small injections in the targeted areas. The aesthetic physician will decide how to precisely inject for best results. The process takes only a short time to perform. The needles used are extremely fine, and only a small volume is injected. The discomfort experienced is minimal and very well tolerated. After the injections, you will gradually notice relaxation of the muscles treated. This can start at 2-3 days but may take up to two weeks to be very noticeable. Normal activities may be resumed after treatment. However, you will be instructed not to exercise or touch the treated areas for 4 hours so as not to spread the injected Botulinum Toxin Type A further than intended.
Botox® generally lasts for about 4 to 6 months; sometimes longer however this may vary from one individual to another. It is also common for those treatment with Botox® to last longer on the second treatment than with the first treatment.
Botulinum Toxin Type A works by preventing the release of a chemical that signals the sweat glands to activate.
The area to be treated is identified. Even though the procedure is not considered to be painful, a local anaesthetic cream is applied to the area to make the treatment even more comfortable. The underarms (axillae) are the most common areas treated by Botulinum Toxin Type A injections and 50 units of the product on each side are usually administered.
After treatment with Botulinum Toxin Type A you will experience around 80% reduction in sweating and the effect will last for around 6 to 7 months.

Skin Boosters can be used to treat a range of areas including the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. They are most commonly used on the lower face and are a perfect treatment for smokers’ lines. Skin Boosters increase skin hydration and improve skin texture around the mouth, chin, and lower cheek.

Skin Boosters is a course of treatment, three sessions 2- 4 weeks apart that uses micro injections to stimulate the skins fibroblasts and encourage increased production of the skin’s natural moisturisers. This in turn increases cell turn over, which gives a lasting effect to treatment. The addition of Hyaluronic Acid acts as a plumping and firming agent, giving the skin a more youthful, radiant appearance from within.
The treatment with Skin Boosters typically takes 30 minutes. It does not affect facial expression and the benefits can normally be seen over the following days. Skin Boosters is a course of treatment, three sessions 2- 4 weeks apart. Three successive sessions should last around 12 months.
Skin Boosters product related reactions are rare. There are some injection related reactions which may occur after any injection; they typically resolve spontaneously a few days after injection to the skin or within a week after injection into the lips. These reactions include redness, swelling, pain, itching, bruising or tenderness at the injection site.
