KVL Cosmetic Clinics

This procedure has received recent attention; Platelet-Rich Plasma Facial!

This facial combines micro-needling with platelet-rich plasma from your own body for an all-natural way to; Reduce Wrinkles, Plump Sagging Skin, Smooth out Deep Creases, Improve Skin Complexion, Diminish Scars, Promote Flawless Skin Texture and Minimise Pore Size.

About the procedure, when you arrive, we apply the numbing cream to your face, neck and decolletage. Your blood is then drawn by Dr Kiren. While your face numbs, your blood is spun in our Alocuro Centrifuge to isolate the plasma from the red and white blood cells. Once that is done, the liquid gold (PRP) is micro-needled into skin using our Crystal Meso NBI-300 Cordless Injector. The PRP can also be manually injected into the skin using an extremely fine needle to help areas of concerns to give extra plumping and firmness.

The Crystal Meso NBI-300 Cordless Injector is designed for the ultimate precise injection of PRP. Each shot of PRP deposited into the skin is injected with the suction & release technique provided by the Crystal Meso NBI-300. It has different vacuum levels based on skin type, reducing pain and ensuring there is no wastage of your PRP.

KVL Cosmetic Clinics - Dr Kiren

KVL Cosmetic Clinics in Morayfield has already seen great results from our newest addition to the team - Vivace Skin Micro-Needling with Radio-Frequency Energy! This procedure harnesses the power of micro-needling and radio-frequency energy to transform your skin.

Unlike other microneedling treatments, Vivace micro-needling uses radio-frequency energy as well. The radio-frequency energy supercharges deep within your skin, prompting the production of even more collagen and increasing the moisture level in your skin.

Vivace alone is a great machine, however we are ALSO going to add PRP, or platelet-rich plasma as an optional third part of the Vivace Experience. This specific part of the process uses your own blood to rejuvenate your skin. After drawing some of your blood, we will place it into a centrifuge in order to separate its different parts. From there, we will take the platelet-rich parts and create a special serum, which will be used to target specific areas of your skin.
You will see a dramatic improvement in the tone and condition of your skin. Your skin will be tighter and smoother plus your complexion will look better overall.

Book in a free consultation with Dr Kiren by calling 5322 4900 or send an SMS to 0414 336 199.

SculpSure Laser Treatment with Dr Kiren - KVL Cosmetic Clinics

The SculpSure Laser treatment uses heat generated by laser to remove fat cells permanently. Studies show you can reduce fat from the targeted area by an average of 24%.

The hips, arms, thighs, abdomen, lower back and that extra fullness that develops under the chin are all areas that can be treated. You will initially experience coolness, but as the laser energy does its work you may start to feel a comfortable warmth and tingling. Most treatments last about 25 minutes, and patients often spend their time reading or relaxing.

The four applicators will be placed against your body in an arrangement that best addresses your cosmetic concerns. This is a highly convenient treatment that does not require any time for recovery. Some patients even schedule their sessions during their lunch hour.

Although the laser heat will kill fat cells during your appointment, it takes some time for the body to flush those cells out. Many patients start to see improvement in the treatment area roughly 6 weeks after their session. You won’t have to worry about those fat cells returning. Eating right and exercising will augment and quicken the results process. Massaging the treatment area after your appointment is a way of increasing blood flow and encouraging those damaged fat cells to flush out from your system.

If you’re ready to finally take action and get rid of problem spots that just won’t seem to budge, we can help. This laser-based treatment system is a convenient and effective way of melting fat away. What are you waiting for?

Bookings OPEN for Phase 2a of COVID-19 Vaccine!
