Revolutionary Facial Lifting Without Surgery "The Rejuvenation Mask"

One of the most revolutionary advances in medicine worldwide in recent years has been the rejuvenation mask, a rejuvenation treatment that rejuvenates the human face up to 20 years, depending on the specific characteristics of each different skin type. The main element of the treatment is that it is non-invasive, meaning no surgery is required. In this method, the skin is exfoliated and regenerated until it has recovered the properties of a younger skin.

At present there are 12 different types of Rejuvenation Mask formulations available for each particular type of pathology to be treated. The formulation used is solely dependent on age range and skin type.

The Rejuvenation Mask treatment is based on several concepts and acts at four different levels:

Before the Rejuvenation Mask

•Mild Exfoliation of the corneal layer of the epidermis which may have been damaged by environmental agents and time oxidation. The treatment makes the skin permeable for 38 hours allowing it to become:
•Rehydrated
•Enables skin retraction
•Dermis regeneration which allows increased levels of collagen and elastin
 The fundamental layers of the dermis are also thickened.

During this treatment, the dermis and epidermis that make up the wrinkle, or any other skin flaws such as acne scarring, spots etc.

The Rejuvenation Mask is not only the most innocuous treatment but the only method that achieves improved skin quality a face lift alone cannot improve the skin quality. Owing it to the rejuvenating and permanent results of the procedure, the skin that emerges after the procedure will have gone 15 to 20 years back in time. For the new skin to show the same degree of ageing it had before the procedure, another 20 years will be required. That is, from the time of treatment, the new skin starts a new ageing process. Consequently, skin treated with this method is kept fresh, young and recovered over many years, with spectacular results that remain in time.

One of the principal advantages of this treatment is that it allows the patient to resume his or her regular routine immediately after the treatment, that is, you will be able to exercise and play sports normally but you will need to follow your doctor's orders as instructed. And you look like you only 20 years younger!!!!

Unlike invastive surgical treatments that excise and pull the skin, leaving it untreated, the “Rejuvenation Mask” revitalises the skin, restoring its natural nourishing properties and modifying its fundamental substance. This scientifically proven formula constitutes the proprietary patent of the Rejuvenation Mask method.

This after picture truly shows that this non surgical procedure is astounding and the treatment is not only appropriate for women but men also, the results are just as amazing!!!!!.

Breast Enhancement using Macrolane Injectable Filler

Macrolane Injectable filler adding Volume to Breasts, Buttocks and Calves
It is not easy to find our natural beauty. We are always looking for methods of enhancing our bodies, and we are always comparing ourselves with the Hollywood stars and the models that have those beautiful and astonishing bodies we wish we could attain. However, with the development in the medical and research fields, there are many treatments now available which are allowing you to be able to change your looks to something more desirable and sexy and at the same time make you more confident and satisfied.

Some of the latest technologies that have come up are those of a product called Macrolane. Macrolane is a gel that gets injected into the area of your body which you want to enhance. Whether you are looking at your buttocks or your breasts, this is the simplest and easiest way to get the desired results in a very natural way. This treatment is also being used to get rid of stretch marks and to get rid of ugly scars in any part of the body and can easily be used by both men and women.

About the product

Macrolane injections contain non-animal hyaluronic acid which is a substance which is naturally generated by the body and which naturally affects the skin elasticity and the elasticity of the joints as well. This product has been created by a Swedish company and the first results of the tests conducted to find the best results to the Macrolane treatment started happening in the UK a few years ago.

Compared to surgery and other kinds of treatments, the Macrolane procedure has been considered to be very beneficial as the product is considered to be totally natural, and there are no side effects involved in the whole treatment as well. The only side effect you may get from the Macrolane treatment would be some kind of pain in the area, swelling or redness of the skin, or maybe some itchiness as well. However, this is something that goes away within a few hours and you can handle the pain with any simple pain killers.

What is involved in the Macrolane Treatment?

The treatment is something you get done with a local anesthesia and which only takes about 90 minutes, and you don’t really need to have any special time for recovery, there are no surgical procedures involved and the results are immediate. The gel fills up the area immediately and the changes are obvious to you and for all to see. Of course, it is important to take care of the area for a few weeks and to avoid strenuous exercises as well.

On the other hand, surgeries are something you can get done immediately and that you can think of doing to enhance any part of your body, however, these surgeries can prove to be dangerous, as you are not really sure of the results you are going to get from them, and at the same time you are exposing yourself to the knife and to possible scars you will need to live with for the rest of your life.

Costs involved in the procedure

The Macrolane procedure is considered to be an expensive treatment and there is hardly any difference when it comes to the costs of a treatment compared to a surgery. It is also important to note you will have to undergo further treatments after about 9 to 12 months after the first injections, as this gel gets metabolized by the body and you will need to do follow ups on regular basis and this is also going to cost you again, however, there are no risks involved and the gel itself is very natural and healthy.

The average treatment here in Spain would cost about €3500.00 which is the equivalent to about £3000.00. The follow up treatment will cost you about another €1700.00 depending on the amount of product used this will vary from patient to patient.

Of course, once you have undergone this treatment, you are not interested in looking back at the way how your body was before, and therefore, you are going to have to be very certain you can afford to keep up the follow up treatments and that you are going to be able to afford them, as this is something that is going to enhance your self-esteem.

Once you have decided this is the kind of treatment you wish to undertake, then it becomes important for you to find the right Macrolane clinic which has the ability to give you the confidence that you are looking for in this area. Our Macrolane doctor that will be treating you, Dr Christoffer Ingves will be able to answer your questions with confidence and he will explain the whole procedure to you and the risks you may have and what are the side effects that you may have. Our injectables specialist here at Marbella Medical Group is a high level trainer for Q Med throughout Scandinavia, Q Med are the company that produces Macrolane and Restylane, in his own country of Denmark he is responsible for thousands of Macrolane procedures that he has been performing now for a number of years.

The Macrolane procedure is quite simple and all that your doctor will do is define the area where he is going to apply the injection, and once this is discussed then he will inject some local anesthesia on the area to make the procedure totally pain free as the needle used to inject the gel is the size of a knitting needle.

The whole procedure only takes about 30 minutes and depending on the area it may take up to 90 minutes. For some time you will not have any pain or side effects, however, once the effects of the anesthesia wear out, then you will have some pain in the area, maybe some swelling or redness around the skin however, these are symptoms you don’t see with every patient.

After the treatment is over, you may have some feeling as if the tissue around the area is a bit hard, however, after about a week or so, since the gel absorbs water naturally, it will become soft and it will feel as if all is very natural and the look of the whole area is very natural as well.

A natural procedure gaining popularity

This is a treatment that is being considered more and more by people, because of its natural effects and because of the lack or surgical procedures and risks involved. Although you may think of the treatment to be on the expensive side, however, the results are so marvelous that people are opting more and more for these kinds of treatments.

Understanding how the whole process works is very important and getting the proper Macrolane information is also very important before you actually get any treatment done.

The Trampoline Neck Lift

Called the trampoline lift, this one-hour procedure involves making a series of pinpricks across the jaw line under the skin. A thin surgical thread (or suture) is weaved through these tiny holes, before being tied together like a shoelace tightening up loose skin around the neck and chin.

The tautening effect has been likened to the stretching of a trampoline.

Invented by Beverly Hills-based Dr Gregory Mueller, experts believe this new procedure could spell the end of the neck lift.

‘Most patients have the procedure under local anaesthesia,’ he says. ‘If you compare it to a full-on neck lift, which is an aggressive surgery with increased risks of nerve damage, numbness and blood clots, not to mention the three months needed to recuperate, this is a far more attractive option.  You have minimal incisions, the possibility of infection is low and recovery time in most cases is just a week.'

Since gaining the required Food and Drug Administration approval in 2009 in the USA, the trampoline lift has steadily grown in popularity in the U.S. — particularly in Hollywood, where a handful of famous faces are rumoured to have tried it. This technique is also now being offered in the UK by a small number of Plastic Surgeons and by our surgeon Dr. Christoffer Ingves here in Marbella.

Warning: Like all plastic surgery the trampoline lift is not risk-free. Any treatment that inserts a permanent material into the body comes with the risk of infection, ‘It’s ideal for younger patients who have noticed early drooping of the area under the jaw line, or those with excess fat who want to avoid a more costly and invasive open neck procedure.’


Perhaps this treatment could be useful for patients with good skin tone and slight sagging in the neck, but those with jowling may be better with a standard face/neck lift.

Until now, the decision to address ageing in the neck area rested on whether you could face or afford to go in for a lengthy surgical procedure.

But while the long-term ¬effectiveness of skin tightening alternatives such as the trampoline lift are open to debate, surgeons and patients alike are hailing the fact that there is at last an alternative on the market.

Ultratine and Endotine Midface, Forehead and Brow lifts

Marbella Medical Group is pleased to announce the introduction of an American product called ENDOTINE® and ULTRATINE® they are bio-absorbable fixation devices that simplify facelift procedures and provide the surgeon with greater confidence, thanks to its unique multi-point fixation technology through its “tines”.

With minimally invasive surgery, these devices are easily inserted into the appropriate facial anatomy, after which the “lift” is positioned appropriately and the tissues allowed to heal.

After a few weeks, the devices are fully re-absorbed, providing patients with a more comfortable, longer lasting face, brow or forehead lift. ENDOTINE® is available in various variants for forehead, midface and brow lift. The ENDOTINE® RIBBON is also available for lower (for sagging jaw lines) and midface lift.

ULTRATINE® on the other hand is available only for the forehead procedure. It has additional advantages of less palpability and faster re-absorption.

Our resident Plastic Surgeon Mr Christoffer Ingves is at the forefront of all of the latest techniques and products from the United States which means that we are able to offer our clients new and less invasive methods of surgery using these latest technologies.


HOW DOES THE MIDFACE AGE?

The midface is an essential component of an attractive face. With the aging process, the fatty tissue that normally drapes over the cheekbones can begin to sag with gravity. The result is less prominent cheekbones, and a droopy fold of skin and fat between the nose and the cheek (the nasolabial fold). The sagging cheek fat can also alter the appearance of the lower cheek.

For example, bagginess of the lower eyelids often becomes more apparent after the fat of the upper cheek begins to sag. This in essence 'unveils' the bagginess of the lower lids, which have always been there. In addition to sagging of the skin and fat of the midface, there is also volume loss from the cheek with aging, due to loss of cheek fat and muscle.

ENDOTINE MIDFACE SUSPENSION

This technique involves use of an absorbable implanted device that aids in maintaining the position of the tissues after a cheek and midface lift. The device is typically used with the subperiosteal midface lift. The main advantage of the Endotine midface lift over other midface and cheek lift techniques is that it provides a more effective method of holding up the lifted tissues compared to traditional sutures.

A cheek or midface lift procedure may be performed either alone or in combination with other procedures e.g. neck lift, endoscopic brow lift or blepharoplasty.

Botox Neck Lift or Nefertiti Neck lift

The advancements in medical aesthetics are developing at a rapid pace and at Marbella Group Medical, our highly skilled doctors offer a treatment called the Nefertiti Neck Lift, which is one of the most progressive combination treatments available today providing results that are both natural and long lasting.

The Inspiration


The treatment was inspired by the elegant swan-like neck of the Egyptian Queen Nefertiti who has long been considered to be one of the most representative figures of beauty in history.




The Treatment

The Nefertiti Neck Lift is botox injections used to prevent the muscles in the lower face and neck dragging the lower face down. It can help lift the corners of the mouth and the lower side of the face plus help combat sagging and the formation of jowls.

As we age, our skin loses elasticity and gravity beings to pull our face muscles down. To help minimise this, the Botox Nefertiti Neck Lift provides a unique method in relaxing the straining underlying muscles by administering carefully selected Botox injections along specific points of the lower jaw line. This results in an upward movement of the skin to minimise sagging jowls and leave a more defined bone structure, neck and facial contour. Injections into the vertical bands of the neck further reduces the downward pull on the jowl area and side of the face and produces a much smoother appearance to the neck.


Combination Treatments


Combining the Nefertiti Neck Lift with a next generation dermal filler, such as Juvederm ULTRA or Restylane, completes the rejuvenation of the lower half of the face by restoring cheek volume re- establishing the jaw line or replenishing the natural fullness of nose to mouth lines and depressions at the corners of the mouth.


Restylane and Juvederm Ultra are based on hylauronic acid, a substance which occurs naturally in the body, which means it not only fills wrinkle but also attracts moisture to the skin and assists in natural collagen development replacing something that the skin has lost over time. Improving the skin’s resilience, elasticity and smoothness Juvederm ULTRA and Restylane have proven to be complimentary to other anti-wrinkle procedures.

The Marbella Couture Breast Augmentation


MarbellaMedical Group a renowned Marbella plastic surgery company has developed an approach to customize breast augmentation so the overall result both matches a woman's body and creates the best form for wearing fashionable clothing. The procedure is called the Marbella Couture Breast Augmentation.

Breast augmentation is more popular than ever, and is now the most common plastic surgery procedure nationally. Breast augmentation surgery has the potential to greatly improve self-image and quality of life. Women who are self-conscious about small or overly asymmetric breasts usually find the procedure extremely gratifying. The same is true for women who lost breast volume following pregnancy.
Breast augmentation by its very nature can be especially challenging for the surgeon. "The three dimensional nature of breasts, combined with the need to change their position and shape in addition to size, makes all breast surgery a complex undertaking.”

Women seek breast augmentation for a variety of reasons,   in essence they want to enrich their self-esteem - and this goes beyond simply how they look. "We find that people coming for breast augmentation are seeking to improve not only their appearance but their overall lifestyle. They want to look and feel better, they want to wear elegant clothes which might have intimidated them in the past because they lacked cleavage and volume.”

To meet our patient's goals Marbella Medical Groups director herself an Image and style consultant together with our highly qualified surgeons have worked extensively with boutique managers and fashion houses to better understand the breast and body shapes that best fit into fashionable clothing. In each breast implant procedure, we not only address breast size, but also their shape and position. This way, the new breasts match the body to create a harmonious and flattering overall shape which is what most women are looking for.

To accomplish this, the
Marbella Couture Breast Augmentation customizes breast augmentation to an unusual degree. Based on a woman's goals, body type, and his knowledge of fashion, our surgeons might recommend different sizes, shapes, and profiles. Rather than maintaining a fixed preference for placing standard round implants either above or below the muscle, Marbella Medical Group and its surgeons customize the approach to every woman’s specific needs.  Our surgeons also use various incision sites depending on the patient’s individual preference.

"Our goal is for the
Marbella Couture Breast Augmentation to create the size and shape that will allow women to look good, feel comfortable, and create the widest options for wearing all types of fashionable clothing. The Marbella Couture Breast Augmentation works to go beyond simply increasing the size of a woman's breasts.

New and exclusive hair loss treatment now available from Marbella Medical Group

Here at Marbella Medical Group we believe that the MHT hair loss treatment for men provides the ideal solution for men worldwide who are suffering from hair loss. Of the solutions available today, none are as immediate, permanent, realistic, hassle-free, non-invasive and cost-effective as the globally recognised MHT hair loss treatment for men.  You may have already had some form of hair loss treatment and remain dissatisfied with the results. For example, many of our clients approach us as they’re unhappy with a hair system or wig and want to remove it.  Perhaps you’ve had hair transplant surgery and there was insufficient donor hair to cover the required area, or you’ve been left with scarring that you would prefer to be camouflaged. Maybe you’ve been taking medication and have been experiencing unacceptable side-effects.

How can the MHT™ hair loss treatment for men technique be applied?

MHT™ can be used effectively to treat all types of hair loss in men, including thinning hair, lost hairlines and lost sideburns or side profiles. The technique is applied differently depending on your circumstances and preference. The most common MHT applications are detailed below:

Receding hair

MHT is an ideal solution for those experiencing natural hair loss. Usually caused by a condition called Male Pattern Baldness, the ‘horseshoe’ effect is common where the hairline is pushed backwards, particularly on each side of the frontal hairline. MHT enables the hairline to be redefined, resulting in a natural, more youthful appearance.

Balding of the crown

Another common form of Male Pattern Baldness is where hair loss is most prevalent on the top of the head towards the crown. Of all the many forms of hair loss in men, a balding crown is arguably the one that has the most significant effect on a persons perceived age. Again, MHT offers the ideal solution by making the hair on the head appear more evenly distributed, camouflaging baldness and producing a new, younger looking style.

Complete hair loss

The onset of hair loss in men often happens very quickly indeed, or in other cases can take years to affect the entire scalp. We regularly treat clients who have no hair left at all, and it is in such cases that our clients notice the most dramatic difference not only to their appearance, but also their confidence and self-esteem. By not having any existing hair, these clients have a wide variety of options available to create exactly the appearance they want to achieve.

Hair loss caused by alopecia

Alopecia can indiscriminately affect any area of the scalp, often in several areas of varying sizes and severity. The onset of hair loss is often sudden, random and frequently recurrent. Prior to MHT™ there was no real alopecia treatment available. It is important to note that alopecia is not detrimental to a persons health, however it can have a significant impact on their confidence.

Camouflaging scars

We treat many clients who wish to cover scars, most commonly following a hair transplant procedure. Such procedures often leave scarring, therefore we offer MHT to clients following surgery either retrospectively, or as a planned compliment once the surgery is complete and the scars have had the opportunity to heal.
