Turning back the clock
Skin 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 down-time or after effects, you may wish to have a one off treatment to freshen their skin for an important event. One whole face can be treated in 30 minutes. Periodic refreshers may be required 6 months after the initial course.
As we age our skin reflects damage from the sun, the elements and the wear and tear of daily life. In responce we offen seek aesthetic procedures to restore a fresh and youthful appearance. Photorejuvenation - one of the most popular cosmetic procedures today - provides the ideal answer. Removing age spots (sun induced freckles) most brown pigmentation and redness due to broken capillaries, these treatments help 'turn back the clock' this technology is ideally suited to todays active lifestyles.
In addition to these signs of photodamage and early ageing, skin rejuvenation inproves dull complextions, uneven pigmentation and large pores, as well as reds flushing and Rosacea
Sunlight, environmental factors and the natural passage of time all contribute to the development of dark spots, skin pigmentation and freckles. Your face, hands and chest are the first parts of the body to show signs of aging because they receive so much sun exposure. Age spots, skin pigmentation and freckles are forms of pigmented lesions. They are caused by excess production of melanin in the skin by cells called melanocytes.
Lasers and Intense Pulsed Light devices have been used with great success to remove pigmented areas on the skin. Using this state of the art technology, charged energy light is selectively emitted to affected areas to be absorbed by the pigmented areas, sparing the normal surrounding skin. Topical remedies such as bleaching agents, glycolic acid, and retinoids can be tried but usually only treat the visible skin pigmentation whilst doing nothing to treat the cause under the skin.
IPL treatment offers the perfect solution to broken facial veins and rosacea. 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, and Natural Balance's Laser-IPL treatment is an excellent aid to reduce and relieve effects. The treatment is quick and relatively pain free, your therapist will advise you of after care to help maintain your results. Typically you need 2 – 4 sessions to reduce the redness and you may have to maintain the reduction at intervals as the rosacea is an underlying condition.
However if you work out your own personal triggers these maintenance sessions may not be needed or the results can be prolonged. In research notes it appears that this condition lasts between 8 – 13 years.
Losing your hair never looked so good!
Photo-epilaton, or 'Hair removal using Laser or light' has gained dramatic popularity over the last several years, excellent clinical results has contributed greatly to the sensation of this amazing procedure. While many methods can eliminate unwanted, very few can eliminate hair re-growth while leaving the surrounding skin unaffected.
How it works
'Superior' offers a quick, gentle and effective way to remove hair by using light to eliminate hair without damaging the surrounding skin. During a treatment light passes through the skin and is bsorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair shaft; this absorbtion raises the temperature in the hair shaft and thermally destroys the cells responsible for re-growth. The attributes of the light (wavelength, pulse, duration and power) are chosen to ensure disabling of these cells and not affecting the rest of the skin.
Who can have the treatment?
Any gender, any hair colour (if you have light hair the topical use of a soluble liposome will give the hair melanin) what ever you reason for hair removal, we can help you!
How many Treatment will I need?
An average of 5 treatments are needed but each time you have a treatment your hair growth will be reduced
Acne is a widespread and socially frustrationg condition, is estimated to affect close to ten percent of the population. While not life-threatening, acne can cause long term physical and emotional scarring. Accounting for more than a third of all dermatalogical visits each year. Acne is belived to be caused by a mix of genetic, hormonal and environmental factors. Current treatment options have, for many, been inefective and accompanied by negative side effects, high costs and long treatment periods also make many medications an unsatisfactory solution.
How Does it work?
High intensity AFT pulsed light permeates the tissue, reaching and precisely targeting the acne-causing bacteria. As the intense light penetrates the tissue, it sets off a chemical reaction in which endogenic porphyrins, ring like molecules found in all living organisms, increase attack and destroy the bacteria, stopping acne at the source. The result: extensive acne clearance in several sessions
