| Unique Hair Reduction New E-Light technology is now here to safely eliminate unwanted and unsightly hair without pain, quickly, effectively and with no down-time. How it works ![]() An ultra-safe pulse of light is directed at the targeted skin area, being absorbed by the hair follicle and bulb, in the form of heat. This sharp increase in temperature damages the follicle and bulb and significantly inhibits hair re-growth without effecting surrounding skin tissue. Added Advantage This cutting-edge technology is combined with Radio Frequency (RF) which also allows for treatment of grey and blonde hair – something virtually impossible with other IPL systems. Turn Back The Clock Reverse sun damage and remove lesions, like age spots and spider veins. A very low level and ultra-safe beam of light is emitted. The light energy is absorbed by the darker pigmentation in the targeted lesion and raises the temperature of that area of skin, thereby damaging it. The body’s natural healing process takes over to remove the lesion, which then simply ‘scabs’ off or is absorbed into the skin. Skin Photo-rejuvenation To treat fine lines and wrinkles, E-Light technology works on the outer layer of the skin to initiate a natural healing process that causes the rebuilding of new collagen. Radio frequency works to increase the vibration of the water molecules, thus decreasing pore size and tightening the skin, providing superior wrinkle reduction and a smoother texture – usually immediately following treatment. An added safety feature is the ability to use Radio Frequency only, when treating skin too close to the eyes, avoiding the possibility of accidental damage to the retina from incidental UV. Acne Clearance Over 80% of 18-35 year olds will suffer from acne, regardless of skin type, geography or gender. 25% of those will suffer permanent scaring. Acne is caused by an overproduction of oil (sebum) that lubricates the hair shaft .This is exacerbated by the body’s overproduction of male hormones which cause the oil to become thick and sticky. The resulting blocked follicles (comedones) facilitate the rapid increase of P. Acnes bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) due to the depletion of Oxygen. As the P. Acnes grows, the body’s immune response causes the characteristic inflammation and ‘pusy’ looking pimple formation. Non-treatment at this stage can lead to the formation of nodules and cysts that disfigure the skin’s appearance, undermining the integrity of the skin’s natural matrix. E-Light in Acne The specific wavelength of light used in the treatment of acne works to create free radicals that oxygenate the pore thereby killing the acne bacteria and reducing inflammation. The combination of Radio Frequency and Pulsed-Light is extremely effective in providing the necessary temperature increase to unblock the pores and help restore normality to the previously inflamed skin. Tattoo Removal An ND–YAG Laser is utilized to breakdown and gradually remove the pigments that are present in tattoos. How it works The dual wavelength of the ND-Yag Laser will selectively target the pigment, causing it to absorb a very high, yet short-burst of energy in the form of heat. The pigment on the upper epidermis will break down into very small pieces, then ‘scab’ and later, fall off. The remaining treated pigment in the lower epidermis will be slowly absorbed by the body’s lymphatic system. Breast BeautificationNew revolutionary, micro-beam technology beautifies and augments asymmetrical or drooping breasts. How it works When oestrogen levels fall with time can result in significant reduction in the firmness of breasts. This non-invasive treatment rejuvenates the milk producing tissue of the breast. The combination of micro-beam exposure and massage stimulates localised production of oestrogen, thereby increasing the galactophorous tissue, resulting in a ‘lift’ in the treated breast. |
