UPPER ARM LIFT / RESHAPING.
Having excessive upper arm fat, also known as "Tuck shop arms" or "Bingo wings," can be an embarrassing and stubborn problem for many individuals. Despite attempts at diet and exercise, loose, flabby skin can seem to worsen over time.
Fortunately, surgery is not the only solution for this frustrating problem.
Renuvion is a cutting-edge cosmetic treatment that utilizes Radio-Frequency Assisted Lipolysis (RFAL) to tighten and contour almost any area of the body, including the arms. The procedure requires minimal downtime, and many patients are able to achieve their desired results with just one treatment.
During the procedure, a thin cannula about the size of an 18-gauge needle is inserted beneath the skin. An electrode is then placed on the surface of the arms to deliver radiofrequency energy to both the deep and superficial tissues, subtly lifting, tightening, and contouring the area.

What causes acne?Acne is a multifactorial skin condition that results from a blockage of the sebaceous gland, leading to an inflammatory response and the formation of comedones, pustules, papules, and cysts, which can cause scarring. Although acne is commonly found on the face, it can also affect the neck, chest, and back, with severity graded based on the number and type of lesions present. Androgenic hormones play a significant role in acne development by influencing the amount of sebum produced, which combines with dead skin cells and other matter, creating a blockage and a conducive environment for bacterial growth. Inflammation is initiated by P. acnes bacteria, while fast skin cell turnover further exacerbates congestion. Hormonal factors, medication use, lifestyle habits, and external factors such as heat, friction, and trauma can also contribute to acne flare-ups. At Beautiphi Cosmetic Studio, we offer a range of products designed to address the root causes of acne and promote clearer, healthier-looking skin.

What are the available treatments for acne?The effective treatment of acne targets all the steps of its progression, and combination therapy is essential to address these factors. Topical products containing active ingredients such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, azelaic acid, mandelic acid, and retinol act as keratolytics which exfoliate the skin and help reduce sebum production and the formation of comedones. Hormonal treatments and antiandrogen medications may be required when acne is driven by underlying hormonal factors. Antibiotics, including tetracycline antibiotics, may also be necessary to treat the underlying bacterial cause and to reduce inflammation. In cases of severe or resistant acne, oral isotretinoin (Roaccutane) may be prescribed. Correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential for patients with conditions like PCOS. The duration and frequency of the treatment may vary, depending on the severity of acne and individual response.

How do we treat acne at Beautiphi Cosmetic Studio?At Beautiphi Cosmetic Studio, we take a comprehensive approach to treating acne, addressing all factors and stages of the condition to achieve lasting results. Our team of dermal therapists, cosmetic nurses, and doctors work together to develop a personalized treatment plan for each patient. During the initial consultation, we evaluate diet, skincare routine, and other contributing factors and create a plan that includes both at-home products and in-clinic treatments. We prescribe a complete home care regimen that may involve discontinuing current products and starting fresh with effective products. We also advise patients to follow a low glycemic index diet to reduce the effects of insulin and IGF-1 that can lead to inflammation and androgen production. Our doctors are available to manage more complex cases and may prescribe medications as needed. Our goal is to optimize outcomes through a combination of home care, lifestyle modifications, and clinic treatments.

What are the recommended treatments?At Beautiphi Cosmetic Studio, we recommend a combination of treatments for optimal results, which may vary depending on each individual's needs. It's important to note that the following is just a reference point, and a full treatment plan will be recommended after a thorough consultation: 1) Healite II LED Light Therapy: This treatment utilizes low-level light to target the P.acnes bacteria responsible for acne, by emitting Yellow or Red light at a wavelength of 830nm and 633nm. 2) Pico-Plus Laser Treatment: Pico-Plus is a pico-second laser that uses specific wavelengths to help treat inflammatory acne, post-acne erythema and acne scars. 3) Genuis-RF Microneedling: By combining skin needling technology and RF (radio frequency) energy, this treatment can effectively address inflammation deep within the pores and help rejuvenate the skin surface.
