FAQ

Laser Skin Treatments

 
How Do Non-Invasive Laser Skin Treatments Work?

 

The Fractional Laser used for Non-Invasive Resurfacing uses an Erbium Glass with 1540nm wave length that splits the laser beam into 1000's of micro beams to produce micro coagulation of tissue. This stimulates new collagen and elastin fibres without creating any injury to the surface of the skin. Generally, all lasers target chromophores such as water, melanin, haemoglobin and oxyhaemoglobin depending on their wave lengths. However the Fractional Erbium Glass Laser with 1540nm wavelength , targets only water, the majority is found in the Basal Layer and the Dermis, while less than 15% is found in the top Corneous layers. This allows the surface of the skin to remain in-tact, while producing microscopic coagulation of tissue under the horny layers of the skin to a depth of 1.5mm only. The water absorption will use up any extra energy, thus controlling the penetration depth and allowing for safe Non-Invasive treatments.

 
What Skin Conditions can Non-Invasive Fractional Resurfacing Treat?

 

  • Lines & Wrinkles
  • Acne Scars
  • Aged Skin
  • Pigmentation
  • Surgical Scars
  • Enlarged Pores
  • Freckles
  • Rosacea
  • Melasma
  • And More
 
What Can You Expect from Non-Invasive Laser Skin Treatments?

 

  • Faster Healing with no down time.
  • No pain, inflammation or infections, as the top layer of the skin is always kept intact.
  • No anaesthesia or gel is required due to the use of an integrated skin cooler. This ensures painless sessions.
  • Can be used to safely treat all skin types including dark skins without the risk of hyper-pigmentation.
  • The appropriate depths for correcting lines & wrinkles, superficial or severe post surgical or acne scars can all be reached with ease.
  • Side effects are extremely rare.
  • Can apply healing camouflage make-up immediately after treatment if necessary.
  • Requires between 3 to 5 treatments for renewed skin texture and colour.
  • Can be done on selected areas with blemishes or pigmentation, without the risk of demarcation lines.
  • Even sensitive skins can be treated as you can control the number of passes per session.
  • Gentle peeling (more like flaking) takes place as the new cell layer resurfaces.
  • Special Lens array of 8nm or 9nm spot sizes make the treatments quick and provide uniform distribution of heat with contact cooling to overcome any minor prickling sensations.
  • There is greater flexibility in using various pulse durations and energy fluences for the various sensitive areas treated.
  • One of the best and quickest methods for treating neck tissues.
 
What Happens to the Skin After Laser Skin Treatments?

 

For the first 24-48 hours after the laser skin treatment, the skin might show a light flush similar to that of sun burn. Healing camouflage make-up can be applied immediately after the treatment. Within 2 weeks, the skin may show a slight bronze appearance which means that the debris are rising to the surface and that a new skin layer is ready to be exposed. The bronze effect will disappear within a week.
Using a Recovery crème with an Epidermal Growth Factor or a serum as a moisturiser all over the treatment area is strongly recommended to help you skin turnover cells quickly and correct any flaws in the mutated or sun damages cells. The crème or serum will encourage a faster regrowth of new rejuvenated layers of the skin.

IPL Hair Removal & Permanent Reduction

 
What is Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy?

 

During hair removal & reduction treatments the light energy is absorbed by the Melanin in the hair by allowing the hair growth to be just 1mm above the skin. The heat energy component of the light flash is absorbed by the hair which then destroys the hair follicles and any pigmented lesions that are present in that particular area, simultaneously.
Most IPL hair removal & reduction treatments may have a delayed regrowth of 2-3 months, which eventually thins out and then stops growing due to the continual destruction of the hair follicles.

 
What areas can I treat?

 

Underarm, face, bikini line, back, neck, chin. In fact, all parts of the body can be treated. Any area can be treated except around the eyes.

 
How long do IPL beauty therapy treatments take?

 

Treatment times depend on the area being treated, your pain tolerance, any hormonal imbalances and your hair colour. Each treatment will be completed with the application of a serum or treatment crème.

 
Will I experience pain with IPL beauty therapy treatments?

 

It is not a painful treatment, but you will feel some temporary discomfort. There will be a flash of bright light while you experience a sensation of prickling heat, similar to a rubber band snapping against your skin in the areas of hair growth.

 
How many treatments does it require?

 

In most cases you will see a result after 3 treatments but there is significant improvement if the treatment is repeated at regular intervals.
