Tired of shaving? Want to get rid of unwanted or embarrassing hair?
Laser or IPL Hair Removal is the best investment you can make when looking at beauty treatments. No more razors, stubble, ingrown hair or painful waxing, just smooth silky skin on the face and body.
We offer 2 forms of Hair Removal, SHR Laser Hair Removal and IPL Hair Removal.
SHR (Super Hair Removal) Laser Removal is now seen as the most effective method of hair removal for larger areas of the body i.e., legs, chest, back and arms. It uses low energy and rapid pulsing diode laser but at a higher frequency. The diode allows the skin to be heated gently, while 50% of the energy is targeted at the melanin (similar to IPL), and the other 50% targets the stem cells responsible for hair production. Targeting both fine and coarse hairs.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Hair Removal is a safe, and easy treatment for smaller areas of the body i.e., face, underarms, bikini line, lip etc. Both of our hair removal treatments are suitable for men and women, all skin tones, all hair colours and can treat all areas of the face and body, between them.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) uses a broad spectrum of light frequencies to target the follicles of each hair. The IPL heats the root and will, over time, kill the follicle removing the hair, and reducing the amount of hair regrowth. Hair growth cycles vary and at any one stage, you will have different amounts of hair in each stage of this growth cycle. Because of this, not all hairs will respond in a similar way in each session. Therefore a number of separate sessions, over a period of time would be needed to obtain a good long-lasting result.
Our advanced technology machines are medical-grade, Crystal Freeze registered devices and FDA cleared. We are Core of Knowledge and Safety Certified, as well as fully qualified to undertake these treatments.

What causes the skin to age?Sooner or later, the years catch up with us. As we grow older the Dermal layer of the skin becomes thinner, less collagen is produced and the elastin fibres, which provide elasticity wear out. Over time, Sebaceous glands get bigger, whilst producing less sebum (the oily matter that lubricates the skin) and so the number of sweat glands get smaller, causing skin dryness. These changes in the scaffolding of the skin, cause it to loose laxity, texture and get saggy and wrinkly. We also become more susceptiable to hyper-pigmentation, discolouration and photo damage, expecially from exposure to the sun's radiation and smoking among other factors. Our ultimate goal, of our Fibroblast treatment is to help dramatically repair, all of these effects for a more youthful appearance.

Why Fibroblast/Plasma Treatment?The name comes from one of the most important cells in this treatment, which are the fibroblasts. These are the most common cells in the connective tissues. Most importantly, they synthesize the extracellular matrix and connective tissue fibres (including the cruical collagen and elastin). As you may guess, the rejuvenation process begins with the manipulation of these cell's activities. The fibroblast treatment works by rejuvenating skin around the face and neck. This includes lower and upper eyelid tightening, neck tightening, facelift, lip wrinkles, smile lines, stretch marks and others.

How does the treatment work??We target fibroblast cells, to create very precise heat induced trauma, shortly after these injuries occur, inflammation starts and blood flow to the region, which increases as the skin repairs itself. This process activates and stimulates the fibroblast cells, to lay down new collagen cells. The fibroblast cells leave behind new collagen and elastin cells as they spread inwards towards the trauma. For weeks after the trauma, the fibroblast cells will continue to produce new collagen. Tiny plasma flashes are discharged from the tip of the handpiece. This creates a dot upon contact with the skin. There are no cuts, blood or damage to the skin. These tiny plasma flashes cause "crusts" to form on the skin, giving the distinctive dotting effect. These on average are gone between 5-7 days. The skin is numbed before each treatment. It takes around 30 mins to complete, depending on the area, you are left with slight redness around the eyes and slight swelling occuring within 1-3 days. After 7 days, the marks disappear and the redness will have gone by 3 weeks

After roughly 5-7 days, somtimes longer as everyones skin is different, the scabs that have formed will disappear. The new skin that appears may be slightly pink for up to 4 weeks while the healing process takes place.
