MORPHEUS8
Morpheus8 is an innovative, non-surgical treatment that will rejuvenate ageing skin and make you look younger by providing healthy and shiny skin. It is a minimally invasive procedure that combines radiofrequency with micro-needling to improve the contours of the face and instantly treats acne scars and facial wrinkles.
The best thing about Morpheus8 is that the results are long-lasting. Numerous studies have highlighted the efficiency of Morpheus8 in slowing down the process of skin ageing.Astonishingly, the Morpheus8 treatment also has applications in improving skin laxity. The procedure is effective for laxity in the jowls and neck. Fine lines, wrinkles and stretch marks fade away beneath Morpheus8’s penetrating microneedles and sublime radiofrequency treatments. It has been noted to shrink pores, too. So those who want to eliminate skin laxity and wrinkles should definitely consider trying out Morpheus8.

MESOTHERAPY
Mesotherapy can instantly improve dull, tired looking skin and superficial wrinkles but can also help to improve sluggish blood circulation, aiding the body to flush out ageing toxins. This treatment can also be used to address hyperpigmentation and also treat acne.
Combining this technology with a light chemical peel and Dermalux will deliver outstanding results. Mesotherapy is the perfect cure for injecting life back into the dermal layer of the skin, leaving it feeling plump and rejuvenated. Coming from the Greek word Mesos; meaning Middle, Mesotherapy targets the middle layers of the skin, between the dermis and the epidermis. It offers a non-surgical, cosmetic treatment, with the use of multiple injections, packed full of vitamins and natural plant extracts to revitalise the skin’s complexion.
With a team of highly experienced practitioners Light Touch Clinic is always continuing to improve, by staying at the top of their game, offering the latest and greatest treatments your experience will be one like no other if you choose Mesotherapy here.

FAT DISSOLVING INJECTIONS
Aqualyx is a safe and extremely effective fat dissolving injection therapy. Fat cells are reduced almost straight away, although between three to six sessions are required to see the optimal effect. Aqualyx liquifies the fat cells destroying it permanently, releasing the lipids which are then eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system. It can help you to achieve a slimmer body shape – usually with results of between two and four years if you maintain a healthy diet and regularly exercise. Unlike liposuction the treatment will also cause skin tightening in the area so you are less likely to end up with loose skin feeling more contoured and toned. Treatable areas include: Under Chin, Arms, Hips, Abdomen, Thighs, Knees and Back. Once the area is treated (taking 10-15 minutes) you will start to see a reduction in fatty deposits around the area. Long lasting results are produced with Aqualyx, which means you can say goodbye to unwanted areas of stubborn fat, that exercise alone sometimes won’t shift.

PRP (PLATELET- RICH PLASMA)
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are gaining popularity for a variety of conditions, from sports injuries to hair loss. The treatment uses a patient’s own blood cells to accelerate healing in a specific area.
PRP can be used anywhere on the body, but it’s most often used to rejuvenate skin on the face and neck, and is sometimes performed in conjunction with fat grafting or microneedling to maximise the results of those procedures.
PRP has strong growth factors with names like platelet inferred growth factor, epidermal growth factor and fibroblast growth factor. These three key growth factors act like a ‘mending cocktail’ for harmed or matured tissue.
By investing in the latest technical innovations and keeping ahead of the curve with PRP treatment techniques, the team at Light Touch Clinic can expertly deliver their craft and create the best version of you.

PDO THREAD LIFT
A PDO Thread Lift is a procedure that uses a dissolvable suture to tighten, lift, contour and rejuvenate the skin. It’s a less invasive procedure than facelift surgery with spectacular results. It is possible to have one area such as the jawline or mid face or a full face and neck.
The barbed threads improve appearance by immediately lifting and tightening. In the coming months, they will also encourage the production of new collagen in the skin to add volume, tighten and rejuvenate skin.
In addition, Mono and Screw threads for skin tightening and rejuvenation are also included and used in combination. It is also possible to often fix asymmetry whether natural, or the result of birth defects, paralysis, accident or injury. It gives clients a natural and elegant looking result using the principals of profile balancing. In addition to lifting and restructuring one of the biggest benefits is the change to the skin. A combination of different threads from Cogs to Monos which act as biostimulators can be used. The skin therefore ends up looking tighter, younger and rejuvenated.

SUPER HAIR REMOVAL (SHR)
Super Hair Removal technology (SHR) is a revolutionary new method for permanent hair removal that has been described by users as “virtually pain and side effect free.”
In comparison to other slightly outdated laser and IPL methods, SHR provides faster, safer and pain free hair reduction treatments for clients. You do not even have to worry about long hair in between treatments as you can still shave and trim unwanted hair growth without affecting the results of the laser. If you opt for this treatment it will not be long before you never have to pick up that razor again, saving both time and unwanted stubble rashes, which inevitably occur with shaving and/or waxing. And what’s more, SHR works with any hair type or any skin colour. Just been on holiday? No need to wait for your tan to fade either as tanning won’t make a difference to the final outcome. Most SHR clients require just 5-15 treatments on average to permanently remove unwanted hair.

SEMI-PERMANENT MAKE-UP (SPMU)
When performed by a highly skilled technician, semi-permanent make-up can wake up even the most tired complexions. With powdered and ombre brows, lip blushing and eye enhancement techniques all helping clients to look fresh in the morning with minimal effort on their part. We live such fast-paced lives, where most people just want to wake up and go, they simply haven’t got the time to start measuring and drawing on their eyebrows, lips or eyeliner so permanent make-up is the perfect time-saving solution.
The results are semi-permanent so will last a number of years (up to 5 years) depending on the treatment. Sam Matthews, Surrey Rocks Editor swears by her recent SPMU eyeliner procedure. “It has saved me 10 minutes a day by not having to apply my fiddly annoying liquid eyeliner that invariably smudges anyway (!) and I have already made back the cost of the treatment in not having to buy eyeliner and eye make-up remover! I highly recommend this treatment.”

EMERALD FAT REDUCTION
This is a game changer in the world of weight loss. Light Touch Clinic in Weybridge use the Styku 3D Scanner to take measurements and create a 3D model of your body before introducing you to their star weight loss machine, the Emerald Laser. Depending on your needs, you can reap the benefits of this pain-free, bruise-free and zero-downtime treatment. It stands out from the crowd as it’s specially designed to cater for people of all BMIs, providing astonishing results for people with a BMI of over 30. In a half-hour treatment, up to 10 areas of the body are targeted. You do nothing but lie back and relax, while the laser creates pores that shrink fat cells, causing fatty liquids to seep out and be easily consumed as energy. The broken-down cells will be naturally flushed out of the body’s system, shrinking an average six inches of fat! As soon as we’re done, you can hop up and go about your day, without any downtime whatsoever. This can also be combined with Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) that delivers electrical impulses externally to the muscles in a new revolutionary weight loss programme called Dr. Go Figure.
