Hair loss is a common concern affecting millions of individuals worldwide. Various factors can contribute to hair loss, including genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions and dietary deficiencies. Among these, androgenic alopecia, also known as male or female pattern baldness, is the most prevalent form. It is characterized by a gradual hair thinning process, particularly in the scalp’s crown and hairline regions, resulting from a sensitivity to androgens (male hormones).
Topical treatments such as Minoxidil play a crucial role in managing hair loss and promoting hair restoration. Minoxidil is FDA-approved for treating androgenic alopecia and is available over-the-counter in different formulations, typically in 2% and 5% concentrations.
For optimal results, Minoxidil should be applied consistently to the affected areas of the scalp, typically twice daily. Most users will begin noticing visible improvements after 4-6 months of regular use. It is essential to maintain routine application, as discontinuation may lead to the resumption of hair loss.
Unwanted hair can be a hassle, but innovative solutions like laser hair removal offer long-lasting results. Using advanced dual-wavelength laser technology, our treatments effectively target and reduce hair growth, providing a safer alternative to traditional methods.
Understanding IPL vs. Laser Hair Removal
Both IPL and laser hair removal are popular methods for reducing hair growth. However, they differ significantly in how they work:
–IPL: Uses a broad spectrum of light wavelengths, which can scatter and affect various skin pigments. This makes it less precise and potentially less effective, often requiring more sessions to achieve the desired results.
–Laser Hair Removal:Utilizes specific wavelengths of light, targeting the melanin (chromophore) in hair follicles precisely. This focused approach allows for more efficient hair reduction and minimizes the risk of skin damage. Laser hair removal is generally considered safer than IPL, due to its specificity in targeting melanin, which reduces the chance of harming surrounding skin tissues. This precision allows treatments to be completed in fewer sessions.
Begin your tattoo removal journey with us and experience the cutting-edge benefits of PicoSure technology. PicoSure is a state of the art laser designed specifically for tattoo removal.
It utilizes ultra-short pulse durations, delivering energy so rapidly that it shatters ink particles into minute fragments. This allows the body to naturally clear them away through its immune response.
It effectively treats a range of ink colours and provides better results than traditional laser methods, with fewer treatment sessions required.
Radiofrequency microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the dermal layer of skin while delivering radiofrequency energy.This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, promoting the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that are essential for a healthy skin barrier.
At Castleridge Medical Aesthetics, we offer RF Microneedling using Potenza system by Cynosure-one of the most advanced skin rejuvenation technologies available today.
Traditionally microneedling uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing process and stimulating collagen production. Potenza takes this to the next level by delivering precise RF energy through the microneedles directly into the dermis (the skin’s foundational layer).
Here’s why it’s more effective than standard microneedling devices:
Why Potenza is Superior to other Microneedling Devices
Indications:
The Potenza Fusion Tip is an innovative microneedling enhancement that maximizes the efficacy of topical treatments by significantly increasing their penetration into the dermal layer.

Discover radiant, healthy skin from within with our Mesotherapy treatments, a highly effective, minimally invasive procedure that delivers a customized blend of vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids, minerals, co-enzymes and hyaluronic acid directly into the skin where it is needed the most.
What is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a medical aesthetic technique developed in France that involves microinjections of active ingredients into the mesoderm-the middle layer of the skin. This targeted delivery nourishes, repairs, and revitalizes the skin from the inside out, bypassing the limitations of topical creams and serums.
What to Expect

At Castleridge Medical Aesthetics, we combine advanced technology with expert protocols for visible, lasting results. Each treatment is tailored through a complimentary VISIA skin analysis to ensure precision and efficacy.
All procedures are performed with numbing cream for comfort. Results build gradually with consistent sessions and last up to 6 months or more with proper skincare and sun protection.
Stay hydrated, follow post-care instructions, use sunscreen daily, and avoid harsh products or heat exposure immediately after treatment.
Before your treatment, you’ll receive a complimentary skin consultation and VISIA analysis. The skin is cleansed thoroughly, and topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. Photos may be taken for your treatment file.
Some redness, mild swelling, or tingling may occur depending on the procedure. Avoid sun exposure, heat (e.g. saunas, hot showers), and harsh skincare products for a few days. Always wear sunscreen daily.
Stay hydrated, avoid exfoliants or active skincare for 48 hours prior, and refrain from tanning or sunburns before your appointment.
