Electrolysis Hair Removal Treatment

Electrolysis is the only proven method of permanent hair removal , and can be an effective alternative for men or women who are not suitable candidates for laser treatments. It is a safe procedure, usually requiring several treatments, and is usually recommended for small areas of unwanted hair, since each hair follicle is treated individually. Electrolysis refers to the production of heat by a high-frequency electric current to remove individual, fine, light hairs that are not suitable for laser therapy The tip of a very fine metal probe is inserted into a hair follicle and an electric current is discharged from it, producing heat in the immediate area. The heat causes localized damage, destroying the living cells of the surrounding tissue, including the hair root, preventing the follicle from ever producing hair again. Electrolysis is a very safe technique; however, although it is a quick procedure, it can be uncomfortable for some. The area treated may be sore immediately afterward...

ClearLift 4D Laser Facelift

The ClearLift 4D treatment is designed to achieve a deep mechanical effect by using light energy and sound waves to focus energy beneath the epidermis. This creates a wound deep in the dermis, whilst leaving the epidermis intact. Old collagen, pigmented lesions and broken capillaries in the dermis are broken down and resorbed by the body’s immune system, while the wound healing process, undetectable to the naked eye, stimulates growth of new collagen, as well as contracting and tightening the skin tissue. ClearLift 4D Laser supersedes the original ClearLift Laser by allowing the target depth to be variable: a more superficial treatment is used for the thinner, more delicate areas of the skin and for treating fine lines, skin tone and laxity, while the deeper tips target wrinkles, dermal pigment and thicker skin. Typically, a course of four – six treatments is recommended, at fortnightly intervals. Thereafter a programme of one treatment every four to six months will maintain the benefi...

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...
