Permanent Hair Removal
Laser / IPL hair removal is a safe and effective way to remove unwanted hair on the face and body. This treatment works by destroying the hair follicle preventing any further hair growth. Removal requires multiple treatments varied between 4 -8 weeks to target all of the hairs in the correct hair growth cycle. The exact number of sessions will vary as each individual will respond differently, however an average of 6-9 sessions is a rough guide, however every person is different and conditions such as PCOS will require a lot more. We treat all clients confidentially, male, female and transgender.

Electrolysis
Electrolysis is another method of permanent hair removal. This treatment has stood the test of time and is still the only recognised permanent hair removal system suitable for anyone regardless of skin or hair colour. Using a small probe inserted into the hair follicle, similar in size to the hair being treated, a current is applied to destroy the follicle thus preventing further hair growth. As with IPL/Laser treatment, the same principles apply and multiple treatments are necessary. This is a slower process than IPL however is great for either blonde, red or colourless hair (grey, white) or for individical hairs left from laser. This is also the only treatment available to treat the eyebrow area, perfect if you have used semi-permanent cosmetics to shape and rebuild brows.

Laser Tattoo Removal
Using the medical graded Lynton Lumina Q-Switch Active laser, we can remove or fade unwanted tattoos. The laser generates a high-powered beam of light, which in turn is absorbed by the tattoo ink particles, causing them to shatter and break down into tiny particles for our bodies’ immune system to dispose of naturally. Fading will occur for a few weeks post treatment as this process occurs. As we do not know the composition of different inks it is difficult to give an exact number of treatments required to remove a tattoo completely, as a rough guide we say approximately 12 at 6-8 weekly intervals, however this may be more or less.

Microneedling
Often referred as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) we use the SkinPen Precision, which is unrivalled for safety during this process, eliminating any chance of cross contamination. The treatment works by setting the needle depth at various depths according to the specific area, then creating thousands of micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process. This results in skin remodelling, including formation of collagen and elastin, the two proteins responsible for the structure of the skin. This will significantly improve the appearance of acne scarring, aged and sun damaged skin, facial and décolletage lines, stretch marks and generalised scarring. Mesotherapy formulas can be used during treatment for specific conditions such as anti-ageing, cellulite, hair loss etc

IPL Rejuvenation
As we grow older our skin starts to show signs of the aging process such as pigmentation, sun damage, lines, wrinkles and thread veins. Using a specific wavelength of IPL we are able to target and stimulate the skin to regenerate and repair the damage, continuing to work its effects for a few weeks post treatment. A course of 4-6 treatments is always recommended for the best results. IPL is most suitable as a stand-alone treatment for those with mild to moderate signs of ageing however it can be combined with other treatments such as microneedling or peels for an even greater result.

Thread Vein Removal
Thread veins also known as Telangiectasia, can occur at any stage of life, predominantly late 30’s onwards. These are caused by many factors such as weather, medication, lifestyle or health conditions to name a few. They can appear in small amounts or in large groups, particularly on the cheeks, nose and legs. Also, part of the vascular lesions are cherry angiomas (blood spots), spider naevi, rosacea and port wine stains. Rosacea is a long-term condition mainly affecting the lower parameter of the face characterised by persistent flushing and acne. IPL is a great way to reduce this however will require maintenance sessions periodically. All of the above are treated with a specific wavelength of IPL or Laser to target the oxyhaemoglobin (blood) in the skin; this produces a thermal effect resulting in coagulation. The damaged vessels are then absorbed back into the body by the
immune system.

Plasma Pen Lifting
This revolutionary technology provides a fantastic alternative to surgical blepharoplasty, without the use of surgical knives. The device converts electrical energy into an electrostatic energy which is transmitted to the probe. The process crates a plasma gas which is then released by controlled fingertip control to the area being treated. With Plasma Pen we contract the epidermis and encourage it to generate fresh, beautiful new skin cells at the surface which leads to incredible skin tightening, lift and rejuvenation, then by targeting fibroblasts in the dermis, we kickstart the process of collagen production, alignment and cross linking and this reduces lines and wrinkles by inflating, plumping and lifting your skin from below. Plasma Pen helps re-shape, re-build & strengthen the scaffolding within your dermis to give it back elasticity & flexibility and we actually prevent some of the negative behaviours that cause wrinkles. The plasma flash we create transfers to the skin with absolute precision and does not harm any of the surrounding tissue. The first and most immediate effect is delivered to the outer layer of the epidermis where we create external micro-traumas which immediately contracts and tightens the skin. This thermal disruption later causes excess skin to dry superficially into tiny crusts which fall off in the form of tiny flakes within a matter of days.

HIFU Lifting
High Intensity Focussed Ultrasound (HIFU) is the latest non-surgical, clinically proven technology for lifting and tightening of the face, neck and décolletage. Our HIFU treatment uses Ultrasound energy which is able to target the deep structural layers of the skin including the SMAS layer, deep dermis and epidermis. By targeting the heat (65-70c) at specific depths we can rapidly heat the dermal and sub dermal tissue to cause a low-level injury in turn kick starting the body’s healing response. This healing response stimulates the production of collagen fibres which in turn leads to a gentle lifting and tightening of the skin. The new collagen growth is key to reducing the signs of ageing, for a younger, more refreshed appearance. As HIFU is able to reach tissues that other anti-ageing treatments can’t affect it makes HIFU a very popular alternative to surgery or more invasive treatments such as thread lifts or injectable toxins and fillers.

IPL Rejuvenation - Acne
Using IPL technology at different wavelengths such as above for hair removal and thread veins, we can also do the same for acne. The wavelength of light used destroys the P-Acnes which are thought to be the cause of many cases of acne, this reduces the sebaceous gland activity and in turn the amount of sebum produced. This will reduce the severity or number of breakouts leaving the skin texture smoother and less inflamed. This treatment can be carried out on areas such as the back which also have a tendency to acne breakouts.
Treatment Time
Up to 1 hour

Course 3 – 6
Anaesthetic

Best Results
Up to 4 weeks, maintenance may be required after course.

IPL Rejuvenation – Pigmentation
Pigmentation can occur for many different reasons, often as a result of sun damage, medication or ageing. Not just for the face, chest areas and hands are often commonplace for pigmentation to occur. Using IPL, we can target the melanin in the skin which contributes to the outward appearance of pigmentation and bring it to the surface, slowly forming microcrusts and flaking away. Occasionally depending on severity, we may need to use the ndYag or QSwitch laser for larger areas, both working in same principle but more suitable for extensive damage. These light-based treatments can also be combined with Microneedling, Dermabrasion and chemical peels to enhance results.
