LEVEL:  

++++ Intensive Resurfacing: Highest-strength corrective treatments for deep lines, scarring, pigmentation, and advanced ageing.

Artemis Star is a comprehensive winter rejuvenation procedure combining Radiofrequency Microneedling and Ablative Fractional Laser (Erbium:YAG) for advanced anti-ageing. Ideal for deep lines, laxity, eye bags, and extensive pigmentation or sun damage, this once-a-year treatment renews and reverses summer damage. Erbium:YAG technology safely treats delicate areas like the neck and eyes. Results are long-lasting, and maintenance with gentle in-office treatments (Botox, Clearlift, or SecretRF) every 3–4 months is recommended.

Downtime

7–10 days. Initial discomfort and redness for 48 hours, followed by peeling. Use cool compresses, anti-inflammatories, and barrier creams; avoid activities for 7 days, and use SPF 50 from day 3.

Optimal No of Sessions for Best Results

One session per year in autumn/winter.

The Science

The procedure starts with a topical anaesthetic, followed by Secret RF microneedling to tighten and smooth the skin. Fractional ablative laser (PixElle, Erbium:YAG) addresses wrinkles, sun damage, and pigmentation, enhancing collagen production and skin renewal.
