ClearSkin Scar Revision

ClearSkin Scar Revision is a laser treatmen t that combines heat and vacuum technology to resurface the skin, dramatically improving the appearance of coarse areas, scars and wrinkles. It has no side effects and achieves a smoother, rejuvenated complexion with lasting results. It can be combined with Near Infrared, Impact Expert and Dermapen to address more severe scarring. ClearSkin Scar Revision uses laser therapy to create heat in the skin without injuring the surface. The vacuum enables the light to target specific areas of damaged skin deep into the dermis, causing thermal damage to the collagen fibres, thus stimulating collagen production whilst leaving the epidermis intact. The integrated cooling system protects the skin by preventing it from becoming too hot, ensuring that discomfort during treatment is minimal. Acne scars are diminished over time by enhanced collagen renewal, and it is particularly suited to scars that have indented the skin. Typically, at least eight treatm...

Laser Hair Removal with The Alma Soprano Titanium

Laser Hair Removal is an extremely popular treatment for the permanent reduction / removal of dark hair on all areas of the face and body. The treatment is effective for all skin types, including tanned skin. It is not suitable for fair or grey hair however, because the laser energy needs to target the pigment (melanin) in hair in order to work effectively. The Soprano Titanium’s exclusive 3D technology combines three of the most effective laser wavelengths into a single 4cm2 spot size applicator. This exclusive design allows the laser energy to travel harmlessly through the skin until it strikes the hair follicle, here the energy is delivered to different tissue depths targeting the anatomical structures within the hair follicle. Combining the absorption and penetration levels of different wavelengths, the Soprano ICE PLUS™ continuous contact cooling system and the In-Motion treatment delivery technique for increased comfort and a virtually pain-free experience, makes the Soprano Tit...

What is iPixel Treatment ?

iPixel Laser is the latest generation of Fraxel Erbium Yag laser. It is an advanced laser skin resurfacing treatment for refining the appearance of the skin on the face, neck, decolletage and hands. It can also be used to improve scarring and stretch marks on areas of the body. This state-of-the-art technology is superior to previous resurfacing laser techniques. Unlike traditional ablative laser resurfacing this new generation of iPixel laser is much less aggressive on the skin surface, thus minimizing redness and downtime. The depth at which the ablative element of the iPixel penetrates the skin, creates heat deep within the skin to trigger the body’s natural healing response. In turn this stimulates the growth of new healthy skin tissue, including the production of new collagen, to deliver a smoother, firmer and more even skin texture. If you are looking to achieve a healthy, more youthful skin and improve the many signs of skin ageing – including brightening dull skin, increasing ...

Collagen Induction Therapy

Thousands of precise microscopic perforations are painlessly made through the skin surface to the basal layer, activating production of new collagen and elastin to repair them. Active ingredients are then driven into the microscopic channels where they are utilized as nourishment for the cells, to promote healing and to further promote production of collagen. Skin becomes firmer and more elastic with a noticeably rejuvenated appearance due to the fading of fine lines and wrinkles, pore refinement, and stimulated blood flow. The face, neck and décolletage can be rejuvenated in this way, and scars (such as acne scars) and individual deep wrinkles can also be treated by varying the modules and active ingredients used. Your practitioner will advise and discuss this with you as part of your treatment programme at the time of consultation. Collagen and Skin Remodelling is completely safe and virtually painless, and has no downtime apart from mild redness for approximately two hours after tre...

What is Acne?

Acne occurs most frequently at puberty, when the sebaceous glands and keratinocytes are stimulated by pubertal hormones to increase the rate of production of sebum and keratin respectively. The excess keratin cells can then quickly block the pores of the sebaceous glands, trapping the sebum below, which then solidifies. This creates an ideal breeding environment for bacteria which normally live harmlessly on the skin, especially the bacteria associated with acne, called Propionibacterium acnes (or P. acnes). This bacterium thrives in the anaerobic environment generated by the clogged pore, and by feeding off sebum. The metabolic by-products of P. acnes inflame and destroy the wall of the hair follicles, allowing the inflammation to spread deeper into the tissues, causing infected spots which either erupt onto the skin or form painful cysts trapped below the surface. Acne also occurs in adulthood, often due to imbalances in the androgen hormones, especially testosterone and DHEA, or fro...
