Fat Transfer specialist in Lahore, Karachi & Islamabad

What is the fat transfer?
We can take fat out from where it is not needed like the bulging abdomen and can put it where it is needed like a depressed wrinkle, hollow cheeks or depressed cheek bones to make cheek bones higher. Since fat comes free of cost and is natural from your own body it is cheep and safe.
As we age, our muscles and skin lose some of their elasticity, and the cushion of fat, which provide the foundation for smooth and creaseless skin, dissipates.
The resulting facial creases and depressions can be corrected by implanting some material to take the place of the lost fatty cushion. When one's own fat is used for implanting, the possibility of allergic reaction or rejection is eliminated.

Fat transfer is an effective procedure in minimizing creases and grooves. It also can be used to augment lips, cheeks, the chin or earlobes (to help minimize tearing from wearing large earrings), recontour the face, and even adjust some body contours.

Fat transfer is performed in our outpatient surgery center by our skilled doctors. A donor site is chosen based upon patient preference. The hips, buttocks, thighs or lower abdomen are areas in women where fat can easily be harvested. In men, the donor area is often the flank area above the hips. During the procedure, both the donor site and the recipient site (site where the fat will be transferred to) are treated with local anesthesia, to minimize discomfort. The duration of the procedure depends on the number and size of the locations being treated. A small amount of bruising may occur. Patients usually resume normal activities immediately or within a day, and return to strenuous sports or activities within a week.

Where can the fat transfer be used?
It can be used at any area which is depressed and needs to be filled. It can be deep laugh lines on the face or a depressed scar of an accident, low cheek bones or small breast. It can also be used to rejuvenate the hands and feet where emptiness can give them an aged look. 
How long will the fat last in new location?
Once transferred about 50-70% of the fat is absorbed by the body and 30-50% will stay for a long time and maybe for life. It means that additional procedure may keep on adding volume to the pre-existing fat.
Is fat transfer a safe procedure?
Absolutely yes. It is as safe as it can get, because it is your own fat being transferred from one place to another. Since no foreign material is used, no reactions are seen.

In either case, improvement can be made with the help of our latest laser systems. We use world’s finest lasers made by some of the best manufacturers like Candela and Mosaic to treat stretch marks.

Surgical:
Rhinoplasty (also known as nose job) is a very popular nose reshaping procedure that has helped many people improve balance among their facial features. It has made major differences not only in many people’s appearance but also in their self esteem and confidence.

You can discuss your personal desires and fantasies and we can help you achieve the most natural, aesthetic and practical solution to your nose problem. Although Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery, it can also help correct structural defects in the nose that may have caused snoring or even breathing problems.

ShareThisNon-Surgical Skin Tightening with Radiage

There are many non-surgical techniques available to tighten the skin without surgery. While many companies and physicians claim to get the results as good as “surgical face lift”, these false claims are simply misleading. Surgical face lift gives the most dramatic results whereas the non-surgical techniques are less effective - but you do not have to go through surgery. The most popular is the “Radiofrequency” technique in which a machine like “Thermage®” or “Radiage®” by Ellman®, U.S.A., is used to treat the loose skin. In truth, all that radiofrequency does, is to heat the dermis layer (deeper layer) of the skin in a very controlled way. This layer of the skin contains special proteins called collagen (the structure that keeps the skin tight). With advancing age the collagen is depleted and the Radiofrequency heating can stimulate the skin to make more of this collagen – giving you the tighter skin. This process of making the new collagen by your skin takes time – a few months to sometimes a few years. So why do we see the immediate improvement with Radiofrequency? The answer is the ‘mild swelling’ caused by the procedure can give you the glow and mild tightness immediately that resolves within the next few weeks. But the longer lasting results will take time to appear as the new collagen will continue to form. While not nearly as effective as a surgical face lift, the Radiofrequency can improve the tone of the skin to certain extent without having to go through surgery.

We use the state-of-the-art radiofrequency instrument Radiage® made by Ellman® U.S.A. Radiage® is one of the latest non-ablative procedures for maintaining a youthful appearance. It is not a laser. It is a patented radio frequency system. The advanced Cool-Gel incorporates a cryo-gel to cool the skin’s outer surface while the Radiofrequency energy slightly heats and modifies the soft tissues beneath the skin. The procedure is rapid and bloodless.
What is the difference between Thermage® and Radiage®?
Both are radiofrequency devices made by two different companies.

Benefits of Radiage® Over Surgery

It is non-invasive, so no surgery is involved.
The procedure takes about 15-20 minutes to perform in the clinic.
No anesthesia is required and absolutely no pain occurs during or after the procedure.
Since no surgery is involved, there is no bleeding or bruising.
Radiage® procedure can be combined with other rejuvenation non-surgical modalities, like Botox® and skin fillers like Restylane®, to give you the youthful look that you always wanted without having to go through surgery.
Recovery
Basically, there is no recovery. You may resume all normal activities immediately after the procedure. Slight redness may be seen for less than an hour and in rare cases up to a few hours. The full effect of your treatment develops over a few months following the procedure and can be expected to last for one to three years. This varies from patient to patient. As with any cosmetic procedure, the results can be expected to fade gradually over time, at which time the procedure can be repeated if desired.

Ear Beautifying Reshaping Large Ear Treatment


  


Ear Beautifying, Reshaping, Large Ear Treatment & Ear Reduction Pakistan Otoplasty Cosmetique Lahore

Ears just like us, human beings, come in different shapes and sizes .They may stick out too far, may be too big, mismatched or a little different in size. Luckily, un-like people, there is hope and the ears can be changed into a more desirable shape.
Children can get self-conscious about ears as their peers can sometimes be cruel and vicious and pick on them for having “large” ears. This is detrimental for their self confidence.

To such little people and big people we offer Otoplasty. Otoplasty is a procedure in which, without compromising the hearing ability, wonders are done for self esteem by bringing the ears back in proportion with that of the face and head.
Otoplasty can be performed in adulthood but the minimum age is around 5-6 years as the ears have reached their full size and will not grow any further. Since the cartilage of the ears in this age group is not as hard as the adults, their ears can be more easily shaped and sculpted into a desired form.

During consultation, one of our experienced doctors will examine your ears and will discuss the surgical and non surgical options available for the correction of the ears. The surgery takes about 2-3 hours, patient goes home soon after the procedure and resumes daily routine activities in a couple of days.

Hand and Feet Beautifying Pakistan Cosmetique Lahore

 Hand & Feet Beautifying

It is a common observation that most people tend to ignore their hands and feet as part of their daily self maintenance regime. The continuous exposure to our dusty and dry environment, repetitive use of various detergents and the unavoidable friction that these body parts have to bear make them rough, dry and unpleasant to the eye. Since the scorching solar rays in our part of the world are indeed very harsh, and our hands and feet are almost always exposed to their drying and darkening effects, these body parts need proper care and cure or else they age fast. At Cosmetique®, our doctors perform various hand and feet beautifying procedures that undo and prevent the effects of environmental  and/or age related damage. Most popular among these are Microdermabrasion, Chemical peeling, Mosaic® laser and laser resurfacing, as well as cosmetic recontouring by fat transfer and skin fillers for withered, shriveled and aged hands and feet. On insistence by our clients, Cosmetique® now keeps a complete provision of various hand and feet beautifying skin products by the most reputed and FDA approved companies of U.S.A.

Wrinkle Treatment, Botox, Skin Fillers, Thermage and laser treatment Pakistan

Wrinkle Removal

Why do we get wrinkles?
As we age-wrinkles start to form on our faces, hands and elsewhere. Most of the wrinkles are formed because of three reasons – the sun damage, the repeated use of facial muscles and the degradation of those skin substances that keep the skin tight during the youth (like collagen and elastin proteins among others).
There are many options available in today’s advanced medical world. With the latest developments in the medical sciences, lasers can repair a lot of the sun damage by taking away the dead layer of the skin that the body replaces with the fresher new skin – giving you the youthful appearance. Similarly, Botox® and skin fillers can get rid of different kinds of wrinkles without having to go through any surgery. The good news is that most of these procedures are non-surgical, take only a few minutes to perform and you can resume your regular activities immediately after the procedure. Moreover, almost no pain is involved as local anesthesia (in the form of very effective creams) can be applied to make the skin anesthetized before the procedure.
Following are a few options used for wrinkle removal / reduction. During your consultation, our doctors will guide you about different options and the best treatments in your particular situation.

BOTOX THERAPY
What is Botox®?
Botox is a nonsurgical therapy that can make a remarkable difference in softening and virtually eliminating deep furrows and wrinkles between your brows, creases on your forehead, and crow's feet around your eyes.

Botox® is a medicine that is injected with a very fine needle in the skin with very little or no discomfort to the patient. It is used very safely, simply and effectively. By relaxing the underlying muscles, Botox® reduces wrinkles. Botox® is a remarkable treatment for dynamic wrinkles resulting from repeated use of facial muscles.
How does the Botox® work?
BOTOX® acts as a nerve impulse blocker. Botox® actually prevents wrinkles from appearing by relaxing the underlying muscles so they don't contract. Botox® binds to the nerve endings and blocks impulses from the nerve to the tiny facial muscles that are related to expression lines. After treatment, the overlying skin remains smooth and unwrinkled while the untreated facial muscles contract in a normal fashion, allowing your normal facial expression to be unaffected.

Laser Hair Removal

It is no more a secret that unwanted hair on the face and body (armpits, bikini area, legs, arms and trunk) can be safely removed and reduced permanently using the latest laser hair removal technology. Fortunately, lasers are extremely effective and have proven to be absolutely safe with their more than 13 years of safety track records. Today, Dermatologists, all over the world, believe in the gospel of laser treatment for the permanent removal of unwanted body and facial hair. And just in case you have been misinformed, laser hair removal does not cause cancer.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL-FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

Q: Is the laser hair removal safe?V-Beam

A: Yes, laser hair removal is absolutely safe, but only with a few considerations. Firstly, the treatment should be done using a high quality laser hair removal machine and secondly it must be done by a competent and properly trained doctor. On the other hand, most burn cases that you may have heard about were either done by an untrained/ill trained doctor, the person may not even be a doctor and/ or with a low quality Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) machine which is not a true LASER. You as a patient should understand that cheap laser hair removal treatment can only be offered by using low cost, low quality equipment which may not be safe and can burn the skin leaving permanent scars. Also, these cheap IPLs are not effective and you may need many more laser hair removal treatments to get long lasting results. So be wise, and choose the right man with the right machine.

Q: Is laser hair removal painful?

A: No. A special local/topical anesthetizing cream is applied prior to laser hair removal that makes the procedure almost completely painless. Some patients with extra sensitive skin may experience a mild needle prick sensation ---- but not pain.
Q: How Many laser hair removal treatments will I need?
A:Well, it varies from person to person. The correct assessment can be made only after a thorough dermatological evaluation. More specifically, especially in females, increased hair growth over the face and body could be secondary to some hormonal imbalance which must be taken care along with the laser hair removal. In some patients only 5-6 treatments are needed while in others 12 or more treatments may be required.
Q: Other laser centers claim to permanently remove the hair in only 4-5 treatments, is that possible?
A: Unfortunately many such clinics are run by unethical doctors with a commercial mind frame or even mere beauticians, who make big claims without any scientific knowledge or evidence. The fact of the matter is that in some cases it may be true, but for most of the patients 6-9 treatments are needed and in some rare patients even more laser hair removal treatments may be required. As mentioned earlier, the hormonal status and hair density gives the final word.
Cutera
Q: What is the cost of laser hair removal?
A: Although we use the exact same lasers in Pakistan that we use in our U.S. clinics, the cost of laser hair removal in Pakistan is only a fraction of what one would pay in the U.S. The cost of the laser hair removal starts from Rs. 4000 per session, depending upon how much area needs to be treated and the hair density in the targeted area. The exact cost can be determined only after the final assessment by one of our doctors.

Acne Treatment - Acne Scars Treatment in Lahore Karachi Islamabad

Acne


Acne is a very common skin disease in adolescence, young girls, boys and even in adults. It is a common mistake to think that it is normal to have acne at puberty and no treatment should be done. In fact, this is a skin disease and wonderful treatments are available that can get rid of the old acne and prevent the new ones from forming. If treated appropriately pimples should leave no mark on the face. When not treated in time they can leave ugly and permanent marks.

Acne Treatment


The treatment usually consists of some medicine to apply on the face couple of times a day and sometimes oral medications may be needed. It is a common mistake to apply steroid creams like “Dermovate” for pimples which, in fact, can worsen the pimples and damage the skin. Acne in most cases is neither caused by any food nor is the lack of water responsible for it. But in general, eating healthy food, avoiding fast food and drinking enough water is good for the body anyway. . Many commercial creams and lotions, to treat acne and make the skin fair, contain steroids that can permanently damage the skin and should not be used without the doctor’s advice. You should consult a qualified skin specialist for the treatment. With the latest treatments available, there is no reason to be walking around with pimples.



Acne Scars Treatment


Acne Scars are caused by damage to the deeper layers of skin, so topical creams or lotions don’t help in scar treatment. MOSAIC / FRAXEL LASER are the best treatment available that actually treats the damage to the deeper tissues and can improve acne scars upto 80%.

These lasers use the latest technology to fade away your scars without you having to go under the surgical knife. The procedure is painless, general anesthesia is not involved and you can resume your routine activities as soon as the procedure is over. Generally it requires a few sessions of one or different lasers to fade out the scar to almost invisible.
