Treatments available at Gawai Healthcare

1. Microneedling Radiofrequency: It adds the element of Radio Frequency energy to the traditional microneedling procedure. The RF energy is delivered to the skin via microneedles, enhancing skin tightening, open pore reduction and also scar reduction. Since the area of treatment is deep, it can produce faster and more dramatic results. It is safe to use in any skin type and tone.
   The mechanisms involved are neo-collagenogenesis by needle penetration stimulating the release of growth factors and relative sparing of epidermis and adnexal structures which contribute to rapid healing

Used in treatment of

1. 1. Fine lines facial wrinkles
   2. Scarring from acne chicken pox etc
   3. Mild to moderate skin laxity
   4. Irregular skin texture and tone

RF microneedling can offer similar to ablative laser procedures (with down time),
but with significantly less discomfort and downtime. Procedure takes almost less than an hour. The redness post session is transient, which will be normal in a day or two. The redness is considerably lesser than the laser treatments.

Most of the patients achieve results in 2-3 treatment sessions, spaced about four weeks apart.The number of treatment will depend on how well the patient responds to the treatment and the severity of the skin issues to be addressed. It’s advisable to go beyond 4 sessions to get even more results.
The MNRF device at Gawai Healthcare is the most acclaimed world class device and is also FDA approved machine and technology

2. NanoFractional RF : Venus Viva ® NanoFractional Radio Frequency with SmartScan™ technology, it is the first and only fractional radio frequency (RF) system that can be effective in treating loose skin by causing ablation, coagulation, and resurfacing for enhanced efficacy in resolving mild to severe skin damage
   It is an USFDA approved devise to resurface the skin, which helps reduce the appearance of acne scars and other scars, striae(stretch marks) , rosacea, dyschromia, deep wrinkles, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture and pigmentation for all skin types. Venus Viva ® NanoFractional RF skin tightening treatment at Gawai Healthcare tightens the loose and sagging facial tissue around the cheeks, under the eyes, and jaw line. The results are instant as the Venus Viva ® NanoFractional RF equipment promotes new skin collagen production and instantly improves blood flow – causing the skin to tighten immediately, that too without any considerable downtime!!

Various clinical studies have showed that four weeks after the last treatment, total surface area, length, and width of Striae Alba (stretch marks) significantly decreased from the baseline.

3. Thread lift – It is possible to fight against the sagging of your face without the disadvantages of the surgical facelift. Thread Lift is a procedure which involves elevating different parts of the face using special threads without having to make surgical incisions as with a classic face lift.

   This procedure is best suited to patients with mild to moderate sagging of facial tissues, usually those in their mid-thirties to fifties.
   The areas which can be treated with a thread lift include
   – outer brow,
   – cheeks,
   – sagging in the main cheek,
   – naso-labial (nose to mouth)
   – lower eye areas,
   – the jaw line for jowls,
   – neck for sagging skin (chicken neck)

After a thorough examination, and consulting , pre-operative pictures are taken with the face markings. The procedure is done under local anesthesia to make your experience very comfortable.
Implantation and positioning of threads are quick and takes approx. 30 mins to 2 hours depending on the areas being treated and type of threads used.  The immediate results are apparent and noticeable. However the results continue to improve over a period of 3—6 months as your own collagen begins to grow around the threads improving the tone and texture of skin as it lifts it.
