Lytera™ Brightening Complex is the next generation skin brightening system that effectively addresses the appearance of skin discolouration and enhancing your skin’s luminosity.

What is unique about Lytera?

Lytera™ Brightening Complex uses innovation to deliver results! It incorporates a patented blend of ingredients that actively work together to gently exfoliate and help brighten and even skin tone by reducing the appearance of dark spots. This unique formula is free from hydroquinone and through a recently published clinical study, 85% of patients saw a greater improvement in their overall skin condition after 12 weeks of treatment, as compared to 68% of patients treated with 4% hydroquinone.

Fraxel Dual laser was used in this patient for improvement of acne scarring and general skin texture.

Fraxel is a fractionated resurfacing laser which significantly reduces the risks and downtime with deep resurfacing of the skin.  This makes it the treatment of choice for deep remodelling of the skin and for collagen regeneration resulting in a significantly smoother skin profile.

This lovely set of lips belongs to a patient of mine who is a very beautiful 45 year old woman. She began noticing early signs of aging around her mouth. She wanted to have her lips returned to their youthful state.

I used a syringe of Juvederm Ultra to ease out her lip lines, her smile creases and her chin crease. Smoothing out these surrounding lines returned the attention to her beautiful lips. To finish I put some thin threads of Juvederm Ultra into both her top and bottom lips to give her some extra hydration and structure to the body of the lip without making them look obviously enhanced. She was delighted with her result.

This patients rosacea has been treated with Elos IPL with good improvement in the facial veins. Most rosacea patients require at least two to three treatments to attain this level of clearance.

Treatments with medical grade Elos are generally spaced 4-6 weeks apart to allow all inflammation from the first treatment to settle.

The freckles have also improved with the same treatment.

When considering patients for liposuction or liposculpture skin tone is an important factor to consider.  Generally those with poor skin tone do not so well as the skin does not retract as well as those with good skin tone.

Stretchmarks can be a good indicator of skin tone and these generally show with rapid growth, rapid weight gain and/or pregnancy.

In this patient the stretchmarks were very apparent after pregnancy.  Despite this she has had a very good result from liposculpture.  Of course the stretchmarks remain but the contour is much more pleasing.

Dermal fillers placed in the cheeks, nasolabial folds and oral commissures along with a lip enhancement have all helped to subtly rejuvenate the face.  There has been an emphasis on natural results.

This patient had a varicose ulcer for 4-5 months prior to treatment. Varicose ulcers are generally treated by compression hosiery and regular dressings but very often they do not heal until the underlying varicose vein has been treated.  This then improves venous circulation which in turn reduces oedema in the tissues and clears tissue toxins more effectively.

The photos show complete resolution of the varicose ulcer.

As we progress though our 40s, the bones and fat of the face start to shrink away, causing the overlying skin to sag, forming folds over the eyes, hollowing under the eyes, flattening of once rounded cheeks and formation of jowls. This can give a tired, saggy appearance to the face. We call this shrinkage of bone and fat 'volume loss'. We can treat volume loss by placing dermal filler under the skin to mimic the lost bone and fat: we call this 'volumizing".

These photos show the effect 'volumizing' the brow and frown area with dermal filler. I have used one syringe of Juvederm Ultraplus shared between both brows and the frown area. As you can see it has taken up the excess skin over the eyes and restored the curved contour of the brow bone, giving the natural light reflection under the brow that we often highlight with makeup. The eyes look fresher and more open. Placing this hydrating, nourishing hyaluranon substance has also improved the quality of the skin, reducing the appearance of pores and enhancing radiance.

8 years of Botox and Fillers. These photos show one of my lovely patients (you'll recognise her from the video on our home page) aged 46 when she first started coming to me, compared with a recent photo aged 54. She's had no surgery, only Botox and dermal fillers. That's right, she's 54 in the photo on the right. I think she looks fresher and more vibrant now than 8 years ago, and wonderfully natural.

Dr Karl A Ekbom proposed venous disease as a cause of restless leg syndrome (RLS) in 1944. A study by CA Hayes et al from north Texas in 2008 examined the effect of endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) treatment in patients with concurrent restless leg syndrome and duplex ultrasound proven superficial venous insufficiency (SVI).
