ow do laser-assisted drug delivery and subdermal radiofrequency lifting work?
Dr. Salama: Laser-assisted drug delivery (LADD) uses gentle laser energy to create microscopic channels in the skin. These enable highly effective substances such as hyaluronic acid and peptides to penetrate deep into the skin layers in order to stimulate targeted regenerative processes. Subdermal radiofrequency (RF) lifting uses controlled heat energy to stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin, thus tightening it from within. This combination is ideal for women who want a comprehensive solution to combat the signs of ageing without invasive surgery.
Why are both treatment methods combined?
Dr. Salama: The combination creates a powerful synergy. RF tightens and firms the skin from the inside, while LADD smoothes wrinkles and restores the elasticity of the skin's surface. The combined treatment also promotes blood circulation, improves the supply of nutrients and supports rapid skin regeneration. Whether wrinkles on the face or sagging skin on the thighs, this combination enables tailor-made solutions for individual skin problems and targeted skin rejuvenation.
What does the treatment process look like and how safe is it?
Dr. Salama: The typical treatment plan includes 4 to 6 sessions, 4 weeks apart. Each session lasts about 60 to 90 minutes. Most patients notice initial results after the first or second session, while the final result is visible after 3 to 6 months, as collagen production takes time. The side effects observed are minimal and are usually limited to slight redness or swelling, which disappears within a few hours. The use of state-of-the-art technologies and individually tailored treatment ensure that the risk of complications is minimal.
What is the holistic approach of the treatments?
Dr. Salama: At the LBCL surgery and vein practice, we rely on an individual approach and personalized treatments that are tailored to the needs of each patient. The individualized approach depends on age, skin type and specific problem areas. For younger patients, we focus on preventative measures, while for mature skin, the emphasis is on firming and smoothing effects. The results of this combination therapy last an average of 12 to 18 months, depending on the skin type and lifestyle. Regular refresher treatments can prolong the effect and keep the skin looking youthful in the long term.
