MICRODERMABRASION
Microdermabrasion, also referred to as mechanical
exfoliation or micro-resurfacing, is a method for facial rejuvenation
that uses a mechanical medium for exfoliation along with adjustable
suction to remove away the outermost layer of dead skin cells from
the epidermis. It is a non-invasive procedure, which is performed
in-office by a trained skin care professional. Suitable as a lunch
time procedure.
PHOTOREJUVENATION
Photorejuvenation is a skin treatment that uses
intense pulsed light or other thermal or chemical methods to treat
some skin conditions and remove wrinkles arising from photoaging.
The process induces controlled wounds on the skin, prompting it
to heal itself by creating new cells. This process reverses the
effects of photoaging to a certain extent by removing wrinkles.
Not suitable for dark skin. Suitable as a lunch time procedure.
FRAXEL
LASER THERAPY
Fraxel laser treatment is a non invasive laser
therapy that effectively treats uneven skin colouring, brown spots,
acne scarring, fine wrinkles or can help if your skin needs refreshing.
Unlike photorejuvenation, this treatment can be used on dark skin.
Some redness and minor swelling can occur. Probably best suited
just before a weekend. Full recovery is anything from one to three
days but easily hidden with make-up.
LASER
SKIN RESURFACING
Warning: - these videos may be unpleasant for some
people to view as they show the most invasive form of laser skin
resurfacing. This is laser skin resurfacing at its highest level
and is generally used for severe pitted acne scarring, severe sun
damage and wrinkling. That said, it is the quickest way to achieve
your goal as it is done in one treatment. The downtime is generally
one to two weeks so should be scheduled to avoid special occasions
and you will probably want at least a week off work if you don't
want everyone to know you have had the procedure. Most people can
hide the procedure with make-up after that.
LASER
HAIR REMOVAL
Laser is used for permanent hair reduction. This
procedure is best suited for people with dark hair that they want
permanently removed.
LASER
TATTOO REMOVAL
For those of you who have a tattoo that is past
its use by date, there is a laser option for permanent removal.
WARNING: - These videos can also be slightly unpleasant
to view if you tend to be squeamish as you will see a slight burning
of skin and perhaps a little blood in some cases - but if you are
brave enough to have a tattoo in the first place, I'm sure you'll
be able to handle it. Removal can take from one to multiple procedures
depending on the colours in the tattoo. Small, line one colour tattoos
can generally be removed in one procedure.
