SKIN TREATMENTS (Intense Pulsed Light - IPL)
IPL treatments use light and heat energy for photorejuvenation. As the skin ages and is exposed to the elements of nature, it suffers from degradation and imperfections. Using IPL, short pulses of light and heat selectively target and coagulate chromophores in the epidermis and papillary dermis. Oxy-hemoglobin in vascular lesions and melanin in pigmented lesions are coagulated. The coagulated cells are eliminated by a natural process and replaced by new cells. For fine lines and wrinkles, IPL selectively inflicts micro thermal trauma in the dermal-epidermal junction. The trauma triggers a wound-healing process and new collagen remodels under an undamaged outer layer. IPL treatments result in clearer, younger looking skin
HAIR REMOVAL (LightSheerDiode Laser)
Our office is pleased to offer state of the art technology in reduction of unwanted hair using the LightSheer diode laser system. This system is clearly considered the gold standard in treatment and offers a patented Chill Tip handpiece which actively cools and protects the skin during the treatment procedure. A series of treatments is necessary to obtain effective long-term and permanent hair reduction because only follicles in the active growth phase will respond to the treatment. However, as few as four to six treatments may be effective in obtaining up to 87% permanent hair reduction in a given area according to documented research with this system. No other laser system or IPL treatment has proven to be more effective in this area of treatment
