Most aging effects are caused by sun exposure. The elastic fibers in the skin become fragmented and do not support the skin as they did previously. In addition, in more advanced cases, there is associated loss of fat and even resorption of bone (due also to chronologic aging). This results in loss of volume.

Plastic surgeon Ayham Al-Ayoubi private director of London Medical & Aesthetic Clinic says “in years past, a facelift was the only answer and even today, it can be the right choice. But a facelift cannot restore the lost volume. For volume, Sculptra (Polylactic acid) can bring about very satisfactory results”.

Sculptra is a long lasting, clinically-proven treatment than can smooth deep lines and wrinkles and restore facial volume lost to the body’s natural ageing process. Sculptra improvement is gradual, long-lasting and gives you an entirely natural-looking fuller face. Clinical studies have shown that the Sculptra results last for three to five years after the final treatment has been completed, significantly longer than other injectable treatment.

Sculptra, poly-L-lactic acid, is a bio-degradable, synthetic polymer that has been used in medicine for over 25 years with consistently safe results. Sculptra helps to increase collagen production, a substance naturally produced by the body to help fill out wrinkles and improve the skin’s fullness, texture, and elasticity. Sculptra is especially effective on the wrinkles around the mouth, such as nasolabial folds (the folds between the nose and mouth) and marionette lines (the folds around the corners of the mouth). However, it is also effective for filling out sunken cheeks, making bags under the eyes less prominent and removing wrinkles and fine lines on other areas of the face. The active ingredient in Sculptra can also be combined with other non-invasive procedures at London Medical & Aesthetic Clinic, 1 Harley Street, London, like Laser Skin Rejuvenation, CO2 laser and Microdermabrasion, for even more dramatic results.

Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubiis proud to introduce Smartlipo MPX laser assisted liposuction – the latest advancement in the evolution of liposuction in to the UK. Smartlipo MPX laser assisted liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure which uses a laser to zap unwanted fat fast, whether on the face, neck, back, thighs, arms or breasts. As a leading surgeon specializing in Smartlipo and most recently, Dr. Ayoubi is experienced in correcting liposuction defects with Smartlipo laser. Smartlipo MPX new minimally invasive liposuction techniques typically heal faster, with less bruising, and no unsightly scars. Many people return to work the next day or within a few days.

Bodytite has begun to generate some considerable buzz in cosmetic offices around the world. Bodytite liposuction uses radio frequency waves to liquefy and remove excess fat cells, all while tightening the skin. The simultaneous skin-firming effects are created by radio waves, which causes the collagen and connective tissue to contract. Dr Ayoubi says “in fact that Bodytite may be up to 40 percent more effective in skin-tightening than traditional forms of liposuction”.
