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...

EMTONE is a first-of-its-kind, non-invasive treatment, to effectively treat the root causes of all grades and types of cellulite in women, including hard, soft and mixed cellulite. It is a CE-Medical / FDA approved treatment that delivers fast and long-lasting results by addressing and treating the five causes of cellulite – not just the symptoms. It is a walk-in/walk-out, no downtime treatment and is suitable for all skin and body types (without BMI limitations). After a  treatment program the appearance of cellulite is reduced and skin laxity is improved with a noticeable increase in skin firmness. The EMTONE cellulite uses a combination of thermal monopolar radiofrequency and mechanically targeted pressure energy to diminish fat chambers. Increased blood flow stimulates metabolic waste removal from the treatment area. Connective tissue is also stimulated during the treatment process – increasing and remodelling collagen and elastin fiber. This helps to restore skin elasticity a...

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...

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...

To suit your individual needs, the appropriate method of hair removal will be determined by one of our expert practitioners during a face-to-face consultation. On occasion, clients may benefit from a combination hair removal program which may include any of the following hair removal treatment options: Laser Hair Removal – Using state-of-the-art laser technology the Soprano Titanium Ice pain-free laser hair removal treatment permanently reduces/removes unwanted hair from anywhere on the face and body in just minutes. The treatment works by delivering three combined wavelengths of light energy which is absorbed by the pigment in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the hair follicles that produce hair resulting in permanent hair removal / reduction. Alkaline Wash  – The Alkaline Wash system is a treatment designed to reduce fine, downy hair on the face, neck, arms and thighs. Alkaline Wash is an Alkaline powder which is mixed into a paste and applied to the...

NIR is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to stimulate collagen production and tighten lax skin, and is very effective when used to treat the signs of ageing on the lower face, jawline and neck, usually in conjunction with Laser Lift. It can also be used on the body, such as the stomach, cellulite areas, backs of arms and inner thighs, but is not suitable for treatment around the eyes or forehead, or for sensitive skin. Light near the infrared spectrum is used to briefly elevate the temperature of the skin, deeply penetrating it. This produces microscopic thermal injury to the tissues in the dermis, which contracts existing elastin fibres, and stimulates the formation of new, thicker, uniformly aligned collagen. Typically, a course of six treatments is recommended, at fortnightly intervals. Thereafter a programme of one treatment every four months will maintain the benefits. There may be some variation in your prescribed treatment plan, depending on the severity of your condition....

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...

Laser treatment is safer than ever for blacks - here's what you need to know before booking a session Twenty years ago, laser treatment for darker skin tones was almost a taboo, but advances in technology have made this service more accessible to women of color. In the world of skincare, lasers are the ultimate tool we can use to truly optimize skin health: from stimulating collagen to fading excess melanin for a more even skin tone to reducing unwanted hair. Lasers basically work on the principle of a beam of light detecting darker freckles or hairs on light-colored surfaces - something that is quite difficult to do in the daytime with dark spots or hairs on dark surfaces, as in the case of black leather. . This meant the technology was too risky and out of reach for black women because the chances of burns and scars were quite high. Fast forward to 2022 and lasers are a common tool in the skin care industry, but in my experience, a large number of black women are still unsure wh...

High-power lasers with two different wavelengths are used to treat light and dark pigments in tattoos. The mechanical action of the laser works through vibration and fragmentation of the ink particles in the tattoo. As the area heals, the immune system clears the damaged ink particles, causing the tattoo to fade with minimal risk of scarring or removing the skin's natural pigment. At least four treatments spaced two months apart are usually required, but additional Laser Tattoo Removal treatments may be required. For example, dense pigment or large tattoos may require long-term treatment spanning several years. Immediately after treatment, the skin bleeds, followed by blistering, swelling, and bruising. This is normal and to be expected, but as such the aftercare instructions detailed in the aftercare documents must be strictly followed. Clients undergoing this Laser Tattoo Removal treatment should be aware of the fact that most tattoos can fade effectively, complete removal is n...
