Micro-needling Scalp & LED light

A noninvasive skin care procedure which uses Intense Pulsed Light to rejuvenate the skin and treat common concerns such as rosacea, sun damage, ageing, dark spots, pigmentation, elasticity and broken blood capillaries.


HOW DOES IPL TREAT THESE CONCERNS?

IPL treats Pigmentation by targeting the pigment within the  skin to break it up.

IPL causes Skin Rejuvenation by stimulating the Fibroblast cells to produce more collagen. This helps to improve wrinkles and elasticity as well as contributing to the production of hyaluronic acid which is a substance that keeps skin hydrated and contributes to a youthful appearance.

IPL treats Rosacea by targeting a compound in the blood called oxyhemoglobin. 
When the temperature of oxyhemoglobin is adequately raised, it destroys the dilated capillaries close to the skin's surface which are responsible for the red appearance seen in rosacea patients.

IPL - Face, neck, chest

The use of Thermal Mechanical Action (like Tixel) to transfer heat energy to the dermal skin to induce extreme collagen production resulting in retexturising of the skin to smooth out wrinkles, neck lines, acne scars & refine pores.

Collagen in the skin and the underlying superficial muscle layer is contracted and remodeled resulting in skin tightening and plumping.

Studies done by leading Israeli Aesthetic Dermatologist, Dr Ofir Artzi, show that this controlled injury puts your skin to a cycle of regeneration of 14 days meaning a new epidermis produced every 14 days as apposed to the usual 28 day cycle of regeneration of people under the age of 35 and 30 to 60 day cycle of ageing skins older than 35 years.
This hugely enhances your skins cellular processes enabling it to function as a young skin would.
