IPL Treatments                                    

Permanent Hair Reduction. The procedure efficiently eliminates hair from all parts of the body and face and is suitable for virtually all hair and skin types, including dark-skinned clients. The systems, employs the energy from a light source, which is taken up by the pigments in the skin, hair and blood vessels.

The hair is removed by using the light to generate heat in the melanin in the hair, which is transferred to the hair follicle (root) to destroy it. Unlike electrolysis the treatment is non-invasive with no downtime or after effects and is relatively pain-free with some clients experiencing only a slight tingling sensation.

Photo Rejuvenation - Collagen stimulation. Photo Rejuvenation is the process of removing sun damage, stimulating new cell growth and increasing collagen production. Typically the treatment will reduce the skins age by 2 years per session hence 5 sessions can give up to a visual reduction of 10 years in the skins texture and tone. Normally 3-5 treatments are required at 3 weekly intervals.

Three weeks is considered the period to achieve peak levels of collagen production following treatment. Results are accumulative, however, with no downtime or after effects. One whole face can be treated in 30 minutes. Periodic refreshers may be required 6 months after the initial course. Success of the treatment varies according to the individual. However the better the diet and lifestyle the better the result.

Rosacea, Vein and Vascular Treatment. The light is absorbed into the targeted blood vessels causing them to coagulate and break down. There is little or no down time making it the perfect treatment to have in a lunch hour. Typically 3-4 sessions are required. Rosacea is a chronic condition, Venus IPL is an excellent aid to reduce and relieve effects. The treatment is quick and relatively pain free,

Pigmentation - Age spots & Freckles. Inconsistency in Melanocytes will give patches of pigmentation that are darker to the ambient skin. These can be treated without affecting the ambient skin colour. The light is absorbed into these patches and the Melanocytes are caused to shatter, they break up and dissipate over a period of time.
