Hair Removal
Intense pulsed light systems release precisely controlled strong pulses of filtered light that are absorbed by melanin, the pigment in hair.
This heats up the hair and destroys the calls responsible for hair growth, to achieve long term hair reduction.
Photo Skin Rejivenation
Intense pulsed light systems release precisely controlled strong pulses of filtered light that stimulate the fibroblast cells within the skin that produce collagen and elastin. Th is improves the radiancy and tightenss of the skin, controlling enlarged pores, and giving a more uniform complexion.
Red Vein Removal
Intense pulsed light systems release precisely controlled strong pulses of filtered light that are absorbed by the blood vessel, heating it to a point where it is destroyed. Following treatment the vessles quickly clear and re-absorbed by the body, leaving little or no trace of the original lesion.
Pigmented Lesion Removal
Intense pulsed light systems release precisely controlled strong pulses of filtered light that are absorbed by the melanin in freckles, sun spots or liver spots. The pigmented area absorbs the light and is heated, and is removed by skin renewal. Following treatment, the pigmented area gradually flake away from the skin leaving little trace of the original mark.
