Morpheus8 fractional radiofrequency and Lumecca IPL are the powerhouse combination for post-summer sun damage


Dr Dev Patel, medical director of Perfect Skin Solutions, shares his tried- and-tested formula for combating the ageing eff ects of the sun:


“While sunlight is an abundant source of vitamin D, and a crucial


ingre-


dient for overall health, the UV radi- ation that comes along with it isn’t a matter to be taken lightly — and not just in relation to skin cancer. Although ageing is a natural process that aff ects the entire body, from bone density and muscle atrophy to neuro- logical decline, sun damage remains one of the most overlooked signs of ageing with newcomers to my clinic. What many people remain unaware of is the accelerating


impacts


UV damage can have on ageing. “UV radiation


from the sun causes damage to skin cells, including their DNA. Excessive exposure can lead to signs of premature ageing such as pigmen- tation, wrinkles, thinning of the skin and, in the most severe cases, skin cancer.


Internally,


UV radiation also speeds up collagen breakdown leading to skin laxity, which, combined with age-re- lated loss of fat and bone, results in the loss of youthful projection. T us, patients will present various concerns such as droopy eyebags, jowls, a sagging jawline or neck. T anks to the cutting-edge radiofrequency technology of InMode’s Morpheus8, along with Lumecca IPL, the fantasy of being able to globally treat every key component of ageing with one simple treatment


protocol, from the skin’s surface down to the deeper zones, is now a reality. “Lumecca


delivers pulsed light


(IPL) like I’ve never before encoun- tered. It — along with the Morpheus8 fractional radio-frequency treatment — is a breakthrough, and is thanks to the pioneering technological inno- vation by InMode. In particular, it is highly eff ective against vascular and pigmented lesions, such as wrin- kles and pigmentation as a result of ageing by UV damage from sun expo- sure. It promises complete photo-re- juvenation in merely one to two treatments, compared to four to six treatments with standard IPLs. After just one treatment to the hands, my fi rst patient exclaimed it had ‘taken 20 years off [her] hands’. T e results are indeed phenomenal. Morpheus8 is also one of the most


impressive radio-frequency technolo- gies I’ve seen in my industry in years. It’s a microneedling device that specif- ically targets not only the dermis for collagen production, resulting in tightness, but also the deeper layers known as subdermal tissue, for remodelling and contouring. Large

bursts of energy are delivered at a depth of 4,000 microns uniformly without any form of thermal damage to the skin. T is kickstarts a natural anti-ageing process, where the dermal cells renew and rearrange, leading to smoothing of wrinkles as the skin tightens, as well as the disappearance of hyperpigmentation scars when damaged skin cells are replaced with healthy ones. T e lift, tightening and volume I can deliver to a patient’s face or any treatment area is astounding, especially when you consider that it’s a simple offi ce procedure with negligible downtime. Coupled, Lumecca and Morpheus8


complement each other as an extraor- dinary powerhouse protocol that can reverse

and discolouration due to decades of sun damage, and even restore volume, which peaks six months to one year after the fi nal treatment. By combining these two treatments in just a few visits to my clinic, I can deliver holistic and safe skin damage correction simply but very eff ectively, to give the skin a healthier and more youthful appearance.”
