Laser Tatto Removal
How the laser tattoo removal works:
Why does the ink stay in the skin when you have a tattoo?
When you have a tattoo the particles of ink are too large for the body to destroy, so instead it encapsulates the particles of ink with a network of collagen fibres as the skin heals, and there the tattoo remains.
How does the YAG laser work to remove it?The laser emits a pulse of light that is preferentially absorbed into certain colours of ink. The light enters the skin at a speed that is too fast to heat the tissues (billionths of a second), instead, it produces a ‘shock wave’ effect and breaks up the ink particles into smaller pieces, the body then recognises these particles as something that shouldn’t be there and attacks it. The particles are then removed naturally via the body’s own elimination system.
Can you treat all colours? No. Light is measured in nanometres and there are two wavelengths of light that are emitted from this laser -one is invisible infrared light(1064nm) and the other is visible green light(532nm).
The infrared wavelength is preferably absorbed into black and dark blue inks, whereas the green light is absorbed by red ink.
It is possible to treat some other colours although white,yellow and bright colours are difficult.
This is not usually a problem however, as lighter colours cover very easily. If you wish to cover- up an existing tattoo then the darker colours will be faded or removed, allowing you greater choice of size and colour of the cover-up design you choose.
Why is it difficult to treat colours other than red and black?
The light will only see the colour ink it is attracted to as different wavelengths absorb into different things. It is not possible to produce a laser that can see all colours as some wavelengths are too shallow when absorbed to affect the ink, others can absorb into other matter and damage the skin in the process.
Another reason is that all ink pigments contain certain levels of heavy metals. Some pigments may have a higher concentration of some of these than others, and these heavy metals can react with the laser light and carbonise in the skin, turning the ink black. It is very difficult to remove the ink when this has happened so, if you have other colours you would like treating, the laser operator will perform a test patch for you to see if it is possible before proceeding.
Laser Hair Removal
What is SHR or super hair removal?
Super hair removal is a pain free , fast and more effective way of getting rid of unwanted hair , it’s a relatively newer technology which uses gentler pulses of energy but at a higher frequency.
This laser hair removal technology allows the skin to be heated gently ,but with the rapid pulses the energy is then accumulated by the skin while 50% of the energy is targeted at the melanin (similar to IPL) the other 50% targets the stem cells responsible for hair production
This is a very important point to note as SHR thereby targets both fine and corse hairs. Ultimately this leads to no discomfort and pain , yet an improved efficiency of hair removal.
Because of the gradual accumulation of the energy into the skin there is less trauma and irritation on the skin - making it ideal and suitable for everyone , regardless of skin tone, hair colour and even for customers with sensitive skin. In fact SHR is often considered to be one of the best laser hair removal treatments you can get. SHR hair removal is ideal for Brazilian hair removal as it’s so gentle on the skin
Carbon Laser Facial
A carbon Facial (or Hollywood facial, which the celebrities use for the red carpet) is a revolutionary laser treatment that is completely painless with zero downtime.
It is highly beneficial for people with oily skin, blackheads, enlarged pores, dull skin, and acne on the face or body.
It is also an excellent way to exfoliate and refresh your skin, providing an instant refreshed appearance and leaving skin feeling softer, smoother and firmer. A layer of liquid carbon is applied to the skin, where it penetrates deep into the pores.
Laser light is highly attracted to the carbon particles.
When the laser is passed over the area, it destroys the carbon, taking dead skin cells, contaminants and oil with it.
This treatment provides several benefits. Cleansing: Carbon has the ability to absorb oil and contaminants from deep within the pores.
When the laser is passed over the treatment area it targets and destroys the carbon particles, taking any absorbed material with it. Exfoliating: As the carbon is targeted by the laser, it blasts away dead skin cells, blackheads and effectively exfoliates the skin.
The result is softer, radiant skin with reduced pore size and a more even skin tone. Rejuvenating: Carbon peels also target the deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production, which in turn produces firmer, plumper skin, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and leaves skin feeling tighter and glowing. Acne and Oil Destroying: The heat produced by carbon peels has 2 additional benefits. It reduces the P.Acnes bacteria responsible for acne, allowing for better management of pimples and outbreaks, and it also shrinks sebaceous glands (oil producing glands), resulting in less oil production, and therefore reducing congestion building up in the pores.
Treatments can be performed on any part of the body, including the back and chest.
As with all skin treatments, carbon peels should be supplemented by a good skin-care routine, and daily use of a high-spectrum sunscreen. Noticeable results can be experienced after a single treatment, but for maximum long-term results we recommend a course of five treatments 3-4 weeks apart.
