Skin Therapy with IPL
IPL's multi-wavelength
intense pulse light therapy penetrates the outer layers of skin
(epidermis) and delivers light energy to the deeper (dermal) layers
of skin. It is within the dermis that collagen, the main supporting
structure of our skin, resides and is produced. The light energy has
the effect of tightening the collagen protein bundles and
stimulating fibroblasts to produce more collagen, which have the
effect of reducing the appearance of facial line, wrinkles and pore
size. Since the light energy penetrates the outer layers of skin,
there is none of the peeling and redness associated with traditional
laser resurfacing. When treating hyperpigmentation, spider veins or
rosacea, the light energy targets the unwanted pigment (melanin or
blood vessels) while leaving the skin intact.
Hair Removal with IPL
IPL hair removal therapy
is FDA approved for permanent hair reduction. Most facial hair goes
through an active growing phase every 3-6 weeks; most non-facial
hair every 8-10 weeks. This is the only phase in which hair responds
to treatment. Most patients will see a remarkable reduction in both
the density and rate of growth within 2-3 weeks after the first
treatment. With subsequent treatments, permanent hair reduction is
generally achieved.

FAQ
DeaLight
DeaLight Photoepilation
Q. How does DeaLight remove hair?
A. Highly controlled flashes of light are selectively
absorbed by pigmentin the hair follicles lying below the surface of
the skin. The absorbed light heats the hair which damages or
disables the follicle without damaging the surrounding tissue.
Q. How can I determine if this treatment is right for me?
A. Even though DeaLight Hair Removal technology is capable of
treating most hair colours and skin types, at consultation your
therapist will evaluate if you are a good candidate for the
treatment.
Q. What does the treatment feel like?
A. Each pulse of light feels warm with a slight sting or
pinch similar to the snap of a rubber band. No local anaesthetic is
required and most clients find the treatment comfortable due to
cooling from the handpiece.
Q. What happens during a treatment?
A. Hair should be shaved to 1mm in length prior to the
treatment. You will be asked to wear dark glasses to protect your
eyes from the bright light. Next your skin will be cleansed with
Spray Mist antiseptic skin cleanser. The DeaLight hand piece is then
applied to your skin and pulses of light are flashed in the area
that is being treated. The hair in the treated area falls out over
the next week or two.
Q. Are there any possible side effects?
A. Side effects are rare. You may experience some slight
reddening or local swelling at the treated area,when will go down
within hours. On rare occasions, some blistering or bruising may
occur, with in will resolves quickly. Avoiding sun exposure before
and after each treatment will minimise the risk of skin becoming
lighter or darker following IPL. Following the treatment, you can
generally return to work and resume all regular activities
immediately.
Q. What kind of results should I expect?
A. DeaLight Hair Removal Technology has been proved to create
permanent hair reduction after each treatment in most skin types.
The number of treatments required depends on individuals, but on
average you should expect to be treated at least 8 to 12 times.
DeaLight
Photofacial:
Q. What is DeaLight Photofacial?
A Photofacial is a new and unique anti-ageing procedure. Using a
series of full face Intense Pulsed Light treatments, redness of the
skin and flushing of the face, neck and chest can be successfully
treated. In addition, it treats acne, acne scarring, open pores,
fine wrinkles, irregular pigmentation and broken capillaries.
Q. How can I determine if this treatment is right for me?
A. A skin analysis suitability to check the suitability of
the treatment and a full explanation of the procedure will be given.
Q. How many treatments are needed?
A. The Photofacial consists of a course of 6 one hour
treatments at monthly intervals.
Q. What is the treatment like?
A. Intense Pulsed Light is flashed along the skin of the
face, and in some instances, neck and chest. Clients describe the
sensation of warming.
Q. When will I be able to return to my normal activities?
A. Clients generally experience no down time. Occasionally if
there is redness or swelling, it may be necessary to apply an ice
pack on the treated area for about 20 minutes after the treatment.
Hands: Brown spots on the hands can be treated successfully
with DeaLight Intense Pulsed Light. The DeaLight hand piece is
passed along the surface of the skin on the hands. Pigment is
shattered at the cell level and then flakes off within a week.
DeaLight
Photovascular:
Q. Can DeaLight Photovascular Technology treat thread
veins?
A. Small thread veins can be treated with IPL.
Q. How can I determine if this treatment would be right for me?
A. Your therapist is trained to advise you.
Q. What is the treatment like?
A. The Photovascular Technology consists of a comprehensive
primary treatment with a follow-up visit in four weeks to check
progress and determine if a further treatment is necessary. The
Photovascular treatment feels like a short, non-enduring sting
resembling the snap of a rubber band.
Q. When will I be able to return to my normal activities?
A. Patients experience no down time. However we encourage
patients to relax and refrain from taking a hot bath or shower
within the first 24 hours. Aerobic exercise can be resumed a few
days later. You can return to work immediately.
Q. What kind of results can be expected?
A. It is essential to have realistic expectations. The
Photovascular technology heats and occludes treated vessels. The
body then absorbs the vessels in much the same way it does a bruise.
Patients with small spider veins find that most of them will clear
within four to eight weeks.
SonoLight
Q. Why is the treatment considered so effective?
A. A number of studies throughout the world, published in
consumer and medical periodicals, have proven the benefits of skin
micro peeling combined with soft infrared laser and ultrasound.
Therapists worldwide now prefer SonoLight over surgical laser and
acid peels.
Q. Is the treatment painful?
A. Treatment with SonoLight is considered a comfortable and
pleasant procedure.
Q. Are there any side effects?
A. Treatments on thousands of clients of different race and
colour show no adverse skin reaction. This is also due to the
desensitising formulations applied to the skin.
Q. What is the skin’s appearance immediately after the treatment
and what after care is required?
A. Generally the skin looks amazing, but occasionally the
treatment results in a mild redness which may last a few hours.
After treatment, slight skin sensitivity may show. To protect and
soothe the skin, F & F Cosmeceuticals formulation may be advised as
a home care regime.
Q. What clinical investigations have been carried out and what are
the results?
A. Clinical investigations started in 1987 in Italy
demonstrate that microdermabrasion using aluminium oxide crystals is
safe, effective and easy to use. The stream of crystals onto the
skin is always constant which means that the treatment is
progressive, controllable and consistent in its results. Infrared
soft laser and ultrasound have been widely used with great clinical
success.
Q. What are the advantages of SonoLight over other types of skin
peeling procedures?
A. Skin peeling with acids can be toxic and can cause
permanent scarring. Peeling using diamond points or surgical laser
are highly aggressive for the skin and requires total anaesthesia.
SonoLight is currently the only system able to guarantee progressive
results without any side effects or particularly unpleasant
sensation.
Q. What is the procedure time according to different areas?
A. The SonoLight increases microdermabrasion speed:
approximately 10-12 minutes is needed to treat a full face. This is
due to the dual pump technical feature. A complete three stage
facial treatment which includes micro peeling, regenerating light
beam and ultrasound waves combined with vacuum and active products
applied onto the skin takes approximately 1 hour.
Q. How many treatments are required for substantial results?
A. Age and skin condition will determine the number of
treatments required to achieve the maximum effect. For most common
skin conditions, a minimum of 6 treatments is usually required. The
results are evident from both the skin texture and its appearance
after the very first session.
Q. Is SonoLight effective on any skin type?
A. SonoLight makes a lasting difference on any skin type of
any age as the therapist can adjust the treatment to the individual
skin.
Q. What are SonoLight safety features?
A. SonoLight is a CE marked device and is certified according
to the European Safety Standards.
Trandy
Q. What is Trandy?
A. Trandy is a low impact exercise program that quickly,
safely and with no effort tones muscles and increases bone density.
Trandy utilizes a vibrating resistance machine combined with
specific toning currents.
Q. Will I lose weight with Trandy?
A. Inches lost. You will burn lots of calories and strengthen
your muscles while having fun. You will look and feel better quickly
and safely.
Q. I never worked out before. Can I use Trandy?
A. Yes! Anyone at any fitness level can use Trandy. Trandy is
safe because it can be adapted to the resistance of your body to
match your level of comfort.
Q. Will I get sore muscles from Trandy?
A. No. Because Trandy machine uses passive electrical
stimulation combined with adjustable body vibration. You will feel a
very satisfied "fatigue" after a workout, but no soreness the next
day.
Q. Will I get big muscles from Trandy?
A. No, for very much the same reason that you will not be
sore; there is no negative or eccentric resistance with Trandy which
is necessary for bodybuilding and developing bigger muscles. What
you will notice are stronger, leaner, more toned muscles. The nice
benefit of stronger muscles is an increase in your resting
metabolism, which means you will be burning more calories during
everyday activities.
Q. Will I lose weight from Trandy?
A. Yes and no. You will lose body fat faster than any other
20 minute workout. However, as you increase your muscle strength,
you may gain a pound or two of muscle weight. Again, the major
benefit will be inches lost.
Q. Is Trandy better than dieting?
A. Diets by themselves have proven over the long run to be
unsuccessful in permanent weight control. Proper nutrition, combined
with good exercise, is the best way to improve health and
permanently change body composition. Trandy has proven to burn off
fat and increase lean muscle mass more effectively than any other
program.
Q. Is there research to back up the benefits of Trandy?
A. Lots.Trandy, combining vibration and muscle stimulation
technology, is the result of……..the rest if the paragraph is fine.
Biocelase
Q. What is the difference between fat and cellulite?
A. Cellulite is formed as a result of poor circulation which
leads to water retention. By this time, the areas involved which are
mainly fatty tissue grown beyond the normal body profile are hard
and painful. The skin in these region loses elasticity and presents
a typical ‘orange peel’ texture.
Q. How does Biocelase work?
A. Biocelase performs integral treatments for the principal
aesthetic body problems. Combining the mechanical effects of vacuum,
micro-massage and heat produced by ultrasound plus lymphatic
drainage, toning and cooling produced by laser are able to achieve
an increase of blood circulation and cellular metabolism,
normalisation of the fat cell network, a reduction in the appearance
of stretch marks, collagen and elastin production and body contour
reshaping.
Q. Is the treatment safe?
A. Biocelase technology is perfectly safe without adverse
side effects and free from particularly unpleasant sensations.
Q. How long is each treatment with Biocelase?
A. Approximately one hour.
Q. How many treatments are required?
A. This depends very much on each individual. On average,
between 15 treatments are needed.
Q. How soon will I see results?
A. Usually clients notice changes within 4 to 5 sessions.
However, 15 is the average number of treatments recommended for
maximum results.
Q. How many Biocelase treatments can I have in one week?
A. Two treatment sessions per week are generally recommended
to achieve lasting results.
Q. Are there similar machines or technology?
A. There have been vast improvements in computer technology
over the past decade, both in the medical field for pain and healing
management, and in the beauty and health field for cosmetic
enhancement management. In the beauty field, cellulite creams,
micro-current technology, vacuuming and suction plus massage therapy
equipment are being used. Other slimming machines which use electric
currents to stimulate muscles can tone muscle but cannot break down
fat or cause weight loss. Biocelase uses vacusound technology to
break down fat molecules stored in fat cells into smaller free fatty
acids. In this form, fat can pass from the fat cell membrane into
surrounding tissue. The free fatty acids then pass into the
lymphatic system and are eventually excreted in the urine.
Q. Why do people choose this over cosmetic surgery such as
liposuction?
A. This treatment is a natural, non-surgical alternative to
cosmetic surgery. There is no pain, complications or recovery time.
It is far less expensive and there is no interruption to daily life.
Q. Are there things I can do to increase the benefits of these
treatments?
A. The best results from Biocelase are achieved when combined
with exercise (low impact aerobics, brisk walking), rest, drinking
plenty of water and a balanced diet. Overweight people should
correct their eating habits to receive optimum benefits.
