Wrinkles are formed as we age as a result of the gradual elongation of our collagen bands that hold our skin tight to our muscles and fat underneath it. It is the effect of gravity and wear and tear factor over the years of use and exposure to the sun and various temperatures, humidity and pollutants, in addition to our hereditary genetics. Wrinkles can be reversed by one of the following principles / treatments :
1- Relaxing the muscles underneath the folds or wrinkles (Botox)
2- Filling the skin crease present i.e. flattening the fold or wrinkle (Fillers)
3- Tightening the collagen bands to their original short and plump shape (T3 laser treatment)
Our most requested laser treatment at VeinCure.
Botox and fillers are more suited for localized problem areas in the forehead, around the eyes and the Naso-Labial fold (the fold going from the nose to the corners of the mouth). Fillers are also valuable in filling the lips and some shallow areas in the cheeks and around the eyes and the jaw line.

The T3 Treatment on the other hand works in a more homogeneous way to tighten the entire face or neck or any other areas of the body where mild to moderate skin sagging, large pores and fine wrinkles are the problem. The net effect of T3 treatment ( 3 sessions 2 weeks apart ) is a long lasting tightening of the facial skin, that looks healthier and thicker with subtle glow ( often described by patients as "permanent Facial", referring to the way they look after having had a good facial treatment at a medical spa, only this time lasting up to a year instead of disappearing the following day ).
The T3 has replaced the old Thermage and/or Fraxel treatments because of its effectiveness, simplicity, safety and superior effectiveness over other technologies (You can read more about it in the Non-surgical face lift page).
The T3 treatment ( or the new Thermage ) can be applied to any area of the body, including the face, neck, chest , abdomen, thighs, and other areas. T3 treatment should not be mistaken with Photo rejuvenation therapy which is geared more to address the more superficial problems in the skin, such as acne, brown spots, redness, blotchy skin, uneven skin tone… etc. For this purpose, we use a specialized new laser that removes red and brown pigment from the face, dries up the oily content of the skin glands, removes the superficial fine hair and restores the skin original youthful appearance.
We often combine these treatments with mild Dermabrasion or very light Chemical Peel and medical grade OBAGI topical creams treatment to enhance the overall efficacy. The results are simply dazzling, albeit different from one patient to another. At VeinCure , we do not like to do any of the more ablative ( burning ) skin treatments such as deep chemical peels or CO2 or Erbium Fractional laser treatments, we simply do not believe in these aggressive often debilitating treatments that cause prolonged social down time and severe burning of the superficial layers of the skin and lackluster long time results. Again, we like to keep things simple, during your first visit and consultation with Dr. Aji, He will identify for you the facial ( or other areas ) skin problems you have and what could be done about them, we often combine treatments in the same visit, Few examples would be : Few conservative Botox injections to the upper face + T3 treatment to the entire face and neck region. Botox to upper face + Fillers to Naso-Labial folds and Lips + T3 treatment to the entire face and neck region. T3 treatment to the face + Photo-Rejuvenation to the face ( to both tighten the skin and clear the pigmentations and capillaries ). The end results are simply beautiful and the process is clean and painless, we often end up also prescribing to most our patients the best medical grade products that maintain the effects of our treatments for long time, one of our favorite product is OBAGI Growth Factor Serum, a product that goes in its effect beyond the moisturizing effect of most cosmetic creams to actually stimulate the skin renewal process of your skin ( a process that unfortunately stops at age 30 and gets only activated in case of Skin injury or as lately has been discovered through T3 treatments complimented by GFS application to the Skin ). We have also several other products recommendations for various skin conditions such as Acne, Pigmentations, Rosacea, Large pores, Stretch Marks, Cellulite, Joints brownish discoloration, Post acne scars, wrinkles, dark eye circles..etc. One common factor in our topical treatments choices is : Real Results, using only medical grade products proved medically to positively alter the condition being treated for sustained and prolonged period of time.
