Fibroblast Plasma Lift : The superior anti-ageing alternative to cosmetic injections & surgery. This is a safe and highly effective treatment for the following conditions: Full or partial facelift Eyebrow lift Eye-bag reduction (upper and lower) “Crows’ feet” and “Smokers’ lines” Nasolabial fold smoothing Jawline redefinition Neck tightening and lifting Arm tightening Non-surgical abdominoplasty The tip of a high-precision hand-held pen is used to transmit energy into the skin, causing the epidermis to contract and tighten immediately whilst encouraging the generation of fresh new stem cells. Energy is also transferred to the deeper dermis of the skin, where collagen-making cells, fibroblasts, are stimulated to divide, thereby initiating increased collagen production which strengthens the skin, reducing lines and wrinkles. Tissue regeneration and repair also occur by stimulating an immune system response, and new blood vessels are encouraged to form, facilitating better nutrient s...

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...

Another way to make environmentally friendly children's clothing is to use recycled materials. For example, fleece is often made from recycled plastic bottles. This turns the waste product into something useful while reducing the consumption of non-renewable oil. Recycled old polyester clothing can also be used to make new polyester fabrics. Recycling polyester uses less energy and causes less pollution than producing fabrics from petroleum. My Green Kids offers swimwear made of eco-friendly and sustainable techno fabric made from 100% recycled polyester from pre and post consumption waste. Reusing clothes is the most environmentally friendly option. Recycling reduces waste and energy use, but reusing clothing almost eliminates both. You can find The easiest way to reuse children's clothes is to give them to new users. For example, take used clothes that are still in good condition to a thrift store or sell them online. Distribute adult clothes from older children to younger...

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...
