With the dwindling production of collagen, skin can lose structure, become dry, have less fat, and begin to appear wrinkled, loose, and saggy.

Photorejuvenation is a skin treatment that uses lasers and intense pulsed light to treat skin conditions and remove effects of photoaging such as wrinkles, spots, and textures. The process induces controlled wounds to the skin. This prompts the skin to heal itself, by creating new cells.

If you have stubbort ingrown hair, gets a rash from shaving, tired of shaving, want to reduce hair growth. laser hair removal is the way to go

Heat travels through the melanin (the pigment) of the hair, reaching the derma pipila (Blood supply of the hair), and destroys the blood supply in the hair folicle, and this leads to permanent hair removal. Unfortunately not all hair are in the growing cycle (anagen) at once, this is the reason for more than one session.

Dilated small blood vessels on the skin or mucous membranes, anywhere in the body.

Vessels are re-absorbed and facial redness diminishes. Patients with rosacea that are expected to do best with laser therapy are those with Telangiectasia.

A growth of tissue marking the spot where skin has healed after an injury.

Laser treatment for scars reduces the appearance of scars. It uses focused light therapy to either remove the outer layer of the skin’s surface or stimulate the production of new skin cells to cover damaged skin cells.

A growth of tissue marking the spot where skin has healed after active acne.

Laser treatment for scars reduces the appearance of scars. It uses focused light therapy to either remove the outer layer of the skin’s surface or stimulate the production of new skin cells to cover damaged skin cells.

Large pores are those that are more visible to the naked eye. Pore size is often genetic, but factors such as sebum secretion and skin elasticity may make them larger.

Intense Pulse Light and Laser Treatments Promote Natural Collagen Production when you get a laser treatment, it will promote natural collagen production in the body, so your pores will always appear to be healthy and not enlarged

The clinical term Rosacea or Diffused Redness is facial redness and sometimes may look like small breakouts that occurs mostly in middle-aged men and women.

Once Rosacea has progressed to the stage where redness and veins are evident the only option is laser treatment. The laser and intense pulse light uses light energy to effectively diminish the dilated blood vessels to reduce redness and visible veins

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins. Varicose veins can happen anywhere in the body, but are more common in the legs.

Laser and Intense Pulse Light is a device that sends a thin beam of radiation in the form of light. Laser treatments closes and shrinks the varicose vein and causes scar tissue within the vessel. This seals off the vein. Blood then flows through other nearby veins instead

A small, fleshy bump on the skin or mucous membrane caused by human papillomavirus.

The light heats up the blood in the tiny vessels inside the wart, thus destroying the vessels. Without blood supply the wart will die and the wart tissue is destroyed. The heat of the treatment also may attack the virus that causes the warts.

Poikiloderma of Civatte, also known as sun aging, is a condition caused by sun exposure. The skin changes as a result of chronic, long term exposure to the sun as well as normal aging.

The treatment stimulate collagen regrowth.

A port-wine stain is a permanent birthmark present from birth. It starts out pinkish or reddish and turns darker as the child grows. Most often, a port-wine stain appears on the face, but it can affect other areas of the body.

The laser targets the pigmentation in the stain and fades it

Wrinkles are the lines and creases that form in your skin. Some wrinkles can become deep crevices or furrows and may be especially noticeable around your eyes, mouth and neck.

The treatments work by vaporizing water molecules inside and outside cells, which damages the surrounding tissue. The skin’s natural response to this damage is to produce more of the protein collagen, which reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

A nail fungus causing thickened, brittle, crumbly or ragged nails.

When used to treat onychomycosis, the intense pulse light and laser is directed so the heat will penetrate through the toenail to the nail bed where the fungus is present. When the heat is targeted to the area of infection, the heat that’s produced inhibits the growth of the fungus and destroys it.

A venous lake (also known as phlebectasis) is a generally solitary, soft, compressible, dark blue to violaceous, 0.2- to 1-cm papule commonly found on sun-exposed surfaces of the vermilion border of the lip, face and ears. Lesions generally occur among the elderly.

The light heats up the blood in the tiny vessels inside the venous lake, thus destroying the vessels. Without blood supply the venous lake will die and the tissue is destroyed. The heat also may attack the virus that causes the Venous lakes.

A skin condition that occurs when hair follicles plug with oil and dead skin cells. Acne is most common in teenagers and young adults.
Symptoms range from uninflamed blackheads to pus-filled pimples or large, red and tender bumps.

We use a combination of treatments and home care products to treat acne, depending on the severity of the skin

A hemangioma or haemangioma is a usually benign vascular tumor derived from blood vessel cell types. The most common form, seen in infants, is an infantile hemangioma, known colloquially as a “strawberry mark”, most commonly presenting on the skin at birth or in the first weeks of life.

This intense pulse light and laser is able to penetrate into the skin and mucosa to a depth of 0.5 mm and photocoagulate the hemoglobin molecules in the vessels. Thus, intense pulse light and laser can microscopically remove superficial hemangioma.

Freckles are small brown spots on your skin, often in areas that get sun exposure. In most cases, freckles are harmless. They form as a result of overproduction of melanin, which is responsible for skin and hair color (pigmentation).
There are two categories of freckles: ephelides and solar lentigines. Ephelides are the common type most people think of as freckles. Solar lentigines are dark patches of skin that develop during adulthood. This includes freckles, aging spots, and sunspots. The two types of freckles can look similar but differ in other ways such as their development.

Light is converted into heat and absorbed by the pigment cells in the skin. Unwanted pigment is destroyed, abolishing freckles and other kinds of spots. IPL works less effectively on people with darker toned skin, but on many people, it can help with concerns such as: Freckles.

A stretch mark is a type of scar that develops when our skin stretches or shrinks quickly.

Laser treatment can improve the tone and texture of stretch marks, working with your body’s natural healing processes to diminish their appearance on your body. As stretch marks are a form of scar tissue, it is possible to treat and heal them for lasting improvements.

Boost the volume and contour of your lips without needle or lip fillers.

Through laser lip plumping you boost the volume and contour of your lips without needle or lip fillers. Laser energy reverses the aging process, so your lips regain their beautiful luster, color and firmness.

Ellipse grades the degree of suntan as: None; Light; Medium; Medium-Heavy; Heavy. In the 30 days before and 30 days after treatment, clients should avoid the sun, or use sun-protection (SPF 50) when sun exposure is unavoidable. This is especially true for darker skinned clients, because sun-exposure increases the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Limiting sun exposure in vascular treatments is especially important as recent exposure (especially exposure recent enough to still give a slight feeling of warmth) can cause significant problems as the warmth increases the size of blood vessels in the skin. This increases the amount of the chromophore haemoglobin present. In the 30 days prior to treatment,do not take solarium, sunbathe or use tanning sprays or a sunbed. This will increase the level of melanin in the skin and make treatments more uncomfortable with an increased risk of side effects.

Put simply, light is just a form of energy, and all laser or intense pulsed light treatments use this energy to do work. The light travels in waves, similar to waves travelling on the surface of a pond.

The Waves on a pond (like sound waves) are a mechanical wave, but light (just like X-Rays or Radio Waves) are slightly different: they are electromagnetic waves (waves of pure energy). The various types make up the electromagnetic spectrum, or spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. This spectrum of electromagnetic radiation stretches from gamma rays to radio waves, as shown below. There are three ways to describe the waves, according to type:

Visible and Infrared Light, used by all intense pulsed light sources and most medical lasers are described by their wavelength (nanometres). Microwave and Radio waves are described by their frequency (Hertz). Lasers and intense pulsed light sources mainly use the visible to near infrared part of the spectrum (Fig 10), with wavelengths from 400 nanometres (nm) to 1 200nm. There are exceptions such as the CO2 laser (10 600nm) and Er:YAG laser (2 940nm).

While light travels in waves, the waves are made up of “particles” of light called photons. Whenever a photon is absorbed, its energy is changed into heat (photothermolysis), and this absorption of light energy is the basis for all light/tissue interaction. Light energy delivered to the skin is measured in Joules and is best expressed as the energy delivered to a certain area (also called the fluence) measured in J/cm . The length of time that the light is exposed to the skin is called the pulse duration, and is measured in milliseconds (ms).

The xenon lamp of an IPL system emits a wide spectrum of different wavelengths at the same time (from approximately 240 – 1200nm). This light is then filtered to match different applications. Two different types of filtering can be distinguished:● Single mode filtering as used in the first generation intense pulsed light systems. These systems use a coloured filter to remove energy below a given wavelength (on the left side of the absorption curve). Depending on the type of filter the emitted light typically starts somewhere between 510 and 720nm and goes up to 1200nm.
