Two Approaches to the Ultimate in Skin Health and Aesthetic Beauty

Through extensive, hands-on research, Dr. Zena has developed two methodologies for skin health and plastic surgery. 

The Skin Treatment Pyramid

This approach simplifies the range of aesthetics procedures from least to most complex. The number of procedures available can often be confusing and overwhelming. This pyramid helps patients understand exactly where they fall on the spectrum of treatment intensities and what will help them achieve their aesthetic goals.

Dr. Zena categorizes the steps within the pyramid into two categories: maintenance and correction. Maintenance involves prevention, nourishment, exfoliation, and collagen stimulation for the skin’s health. Using topical products, such as sunblock, prevents damage to the skin at the cellular level, so you stay looking younger for longer. 

Nourishing your skin with Retin-A, bleaching cream, and daily topicals keeps your skin looking and feeling smooth and supple for a youthful, natural appearance. Exfoliating away damaged skin cells will keep healthy cells nearer the surface with chemical peels and medical-grade facials. To stimulate collagen, Dr. Zena recommends laser treatments, devices like microneedling, and tissue infusions.

Some skin concerns are beyond the scope of simple maintenance, which is where the correction part of the pyramid comes in. Injectables, Sculptra, Eye Lifts, Laser Skin Resurfacing, and Facelifts are all ways correction can minimize flaws and reverse the signs of aging or balance asymmetries. When considering this portion of the pyramid, Dr. Zena and Dr. Leong will ensure you have meaningful, tangible information to answer your questions and ensure you’re on the path to your healthiest self. 

The Signature 4 Method

The second methodology Dr. Zena uses is the Signature 4 approach to skin health. By taking into account the color, texture, volume, and elasticity of your skin, Dr. Zena can recommend treatments that directly address your personal concerns and aesthetic goals.

To treat color concerns, there are topical therapies, chemical peels, and laser therapies to improve your skin’s tone and coloring for a smooth, even complexion.

For textural issues, such as wrinkles, deepening lines, and uneven skin textures, there are injectables like neurotoxins, chemical peels, lasers, and facials to smooth away your wrinkles and other texture imperfections.

Volume loss is typically treated with injectables. Stimulatory fillers like Juvéderm®, Radiesse®, and Restylane® stimulate collagen production to firm your skin from the inside out while rectifying age-related volume loss. Static fillers, such as thread lifts, can also improve collagen support while restoring volume beneath the skin’s surface.

For elasticity correction, surgical procedures like the facelift or eye lift with Dr. Leong can restore your facial tissues to their most youthful, natural position while taking years off your appearance.

At ZENA Medical, you get the best of both worlds with two top-notch specialists in their fields under a single roof. Your skin will never be in better hands.
